Two days ago, I watched the video and saw a buddy riding a motorcycle, all the way from Mohe Arctic Village to Hainan, which made me envious.
I'm a person, one doesn't want to go to work, and the other is that I want to go out to play, but unfortunately I am shy and can only watch other people's videos to get over my eyes.
But then again, our country is rich in land and resources, and there are many places with beautiful scenery, even if you don't ride a motorcycle, you can find a place to go around, and you can find a lot of surprises.
No, I've been obsessed with churches recently, not because I'm religious, but because I think these churches have a unique architectural style and are particularly beautiful, and the key is that they also carry a lot of historical stories, such as the following ten, I think, I have to go there in this life.
