A 1,370-mile-cycling trip from Dali, Yunnan Province to Lhasa, Tibet

During the summer holiday of my sophomore year (2013), I took a 1,370-mile-cycling trip from Dali, Yunnan Province to Lhasa, Tibet. It was a tough journey, but now I can hardly remember any of the hardships and instead only the breath-taking natural scenes remains in my mind. When I was riding the bicycle, I had to push the pedals repeatedly. I was tired and bored, thinking about how many more miles there were ahead. However, it was the seemingly tedious and repeated movements that actually led me to my destination step by step. Without that I would never have the opportunity to enjoy those spectacular views.
