A post-90s couple traveled around China with 10,000 yuan and spent 11 months on the road

At the end of a strange year, we always begin to miss the past year.

At the same time, we are also full of expectations and yearning for freedom and the unknown .

Two years ago, an airline ground staff stole a plane and flew himself into the sky.

75 minutes later, the plane crashed and there were no survivors.

He said, "He is broken somewhere." Someone took a picture of the moment when he was flying. The scenery was spectacular, but the way of seeking freedom through death was very sad.

In fact, 's pursuit of freedom is obviously not for destruction, but for a better life .

A year ago, a couple made an agreement like this——

Use 10,000 yuan to set off on a one-year journey around China.

One year later, the post-90s generation who talked about spending 10,000 yuan to travel around China have actually been on the road for a year.

They are——Xiaoyu and Da Song.

October 9 last year.

Xiao Yu and Da Song from Wuhan no longer counted the deposits in their bank cards, no longer checked the time and date, and then decided to have a "big adventure in life."

They also love traveling, so this time they just left.

Starting from Wuhan, we took one car, two people, 10,000 yuan and a camera to travel around China by car.

Started "the first road trip in my life".

Along the way, they made vlogs of their self-driving travel experiences and itinerary.

There is no gorgeous packaging or editing, no routines or plots, just a simple record of what happens every day. It covers everything from humanities and geography to daily trivial matters and trivial matters.

During this trip, there were also many "firsts" in their lives:

Experience outdoor camping for the first time.

But he was driven back to the car by a sudden heavy rainstorm;

Celebrating over 10,000 fans for the first time.

On the edge of the plateau reservoir on the border of Guangxi, "Zhang San's Song" was sung;

It was my first time to celebrate the Hani Smear Festival in Mojiang County, Yunnan.

smeared the ashes from the pot into a stranger's face;

It was my first time to go to Ali, Tibet, west of Tibet.

and Kashgar, Xinjiang, the westernmost place in China;

On the Pamir Plateau, I met the honest Tajik compatriots;

I also went to Yunnan and got to know the Hani compatriots there.

In this way, they drove and stopped along the way, crossing mountains, rivers, lakes and seas:

Go to Sichuan and Chongqing.

I have experienced the humidity and heat of Southwest, and I also know that sometimes you have to pay to take the elevator in Chongqing...

Go to Xinjiang and see herds of cattle and sheep on the grasslands.

At night in the "Mars Base" in an uninhabited area, I lived in a sci-fi space capsule that only appeared in movies...

Go to Aershan, a small border town in Inner Mongolia, to see the most beautiful autumn in China...

Go to the Northeast to eat barbecue.

I found that two people can buy a table of meat for 49 yuan, and I realized the reality of Northeastern people...

Go to Shanxi and rent a car to travel around the Colorful Salt Lake.

I feel that it is not inferior to the Internet celebrity Chaka Salt Lake at all; I also find that vinegar meatballs and braised pork are "hard dishes" here...

Went to Lanzhou, Gansu.

For the first time, I saw the majesty of the Yellow River, and discovered that tall buildings can be built along the Yellow River; I also felt the simplicity and heroism of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Jinxi area like pasta...

Camping on the beach in Qinhuangdao.

Walking out of the tent is a natural sea view room; I found that in the seafood market, locals and foreigners buy seafood at the same price...

Go to the uninhabited land of the "Great Ocean Road".

The two people prepared half a month's food reserves, drove into the no-man's land, and then drove out of the no-man's land ......

From the crowded Internet celebrity cities to the deserted "no man's land", there are traces of their presence.

During this journey there have been surprises and adventures, there have been ups and downs, and there will also be some unexpected gains.

These can only be understood after "coming out".

In the summer, they went to Bayinbuluk in Xinjiang and lived in the yurts of Kazakh herdsmen. When I woke up the next day, I found a thick layer of snow outside, and it was completely white. This is not encountered elsewhere in .

At that time, they had no food and supplies around them and had to drive to the town to buy them.

It snowed very heavily that day, and many cars in the parking lot were stuck in the heavy snow and could not move. In the end, the clever Da Song hesitated for a while before he successfully drove the car onto the road.

On National Highway 314, there are more than 100 kilometers of bad roads, and dangerous road conditions are constant along the way. Fortunately, I chose this SUV when I was choosing a car so that it could cope with various unknown road conditions outdoors.

When they drove to Manasarovar Lake in Tibet at an altitude of 4,600 meters...

Because the scenery was so beautiful, I was reluctant to leave, and ended up feeling hungry...

When traveling by car, it is usually a fantasy to have a hot meal in a high-altitude mountainous area with low temperatures. At this time, the super practical "big power bank" in the car——

Outdoor power supply comes in handy.

After watching their vlog, Chengcheng discovered that during their trip, apart from the two of them, the car that traveled the most was the BYD Song Pro.

This car is their "temporary home" during their journey:

Da Song Xiaoyu's trunk is like a treasure chest, with clothes, toiletries, tents, pots and pans... all available.

The space inside the car is large enough.

Fold the back seats flat, and the cabin instantly transforms into a large bed with a self-inflating sleeping mat, more than enough room for two people.

During the day, sit in the car and look at the scenery outside; at night, look at the stars in the sky through the top window of the car.

In this way, day after day, day and night rotate.

In exchange, they can wake up in a different scenery every day.

The large-screen DiLink intelligent network connection system in the car also added a lot of fun to their journey. Occasionally, the two of them will sit in the car together, watch a romantic movie, and then fall asleep slowly.

But, people will always miss home after being outside for a long time.

In the 11th month, they went to Genhe City in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia.

There, they missed home and decided to drive back - "Hello Xiaodi, navigate back to Wuhan..."

The way home is 2920.3 kilometers in total and takes 31 hours and 53 minutes.

When they set off, they go regardless of time, balance, or location.

The same goes for when you go back, just go home.

They have been to many places in the past 11 months, and there are still many places they have not gone to. But they said, "We will come again next time."

These vlogs that record the itinerary are a detailed "self-driving travel guide" and are also their thoughts on this self-driving trip.

At the same time, it is like a friend beside you sharing real car buying reference with you.

During the 11-month journey, it was inevitable to encounter extremely bad weather and climate,but they were able to handle these common problems well.

Because they have a "loyal friend".

She protected them from wind and rain all the way, and guided them along the long road.

It is the BYD Song Pro that often appears in vlogs.

A good car is the most indispensable part of the journey.

A reliable car feels like it is saying to you: "Just follow me and I will use my experience to tell you what to do when something happens."

This BYD Song Pro is that loyal friend. Even Da Song often praises it in vlogs:

"You made the right choice."

Many times, there were only two people and a car. They had seen so much scenery outside the car window, hugged each other for warmth at night, and also argued and laughed in this space.

This is their "home on wheels."

It is also the "poetry and distance" in their hearts.

Da Song said in the video, "I thought those places, such as Ali in Tibet, were simply beautiful. Only when I drove there myself did I understand that the beauty could be described as shocking."

Yes, only after you've actually seen it.

Only then will you understand why people yearn for it and how tempting it is to travel.

He also said, "I would 100% go to Ali in Tibet again."

Chengcheng believes that the next time he sets out again, he will bring this friend named BYD Song Pro with him.

“What exactly is freedom?”

Maybe you already have the answer after reading their stories.

When they decided to take a self-driving trip around China with 10,000 yuan, the moment they finally started the car and walked out. The appearance of "Da Song, Xiao Yu, Song Pro" is the appearance of freedom.

Life should be free like this.

200,000 car owners, 200,000 new journeys.

There are more beautiful stories happening now.

Song Pro will accompany you to be brave and passionate all the way to find the answer to freedom.
