The first place we will visit is the Catholic church, which is a short walk from our accommodation.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

This Catholic church holds historical significance as the site where Chairman Mao, founder of the Chinese Communist Party, sought refuge during the Long March. This arduous 12,500-kilometer retreat from southern to northern China traversed treacherous terrain, resulting in the survival of only one in five participants.

This church was built by French missionaries, but in a southwestern Chinese style.

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

A bronze bust of a young Chairman Mao Zedong.

A few steps from here is the Old Town Road. However, we didn't have time to walk there. My friend said she wanted to go see the yellow leaves. She saw them yesterday when she was driving by, and today she had to go see them.

Along the way, I came across a tree that looked like it was being given nutrients through an IV drip. How cute! :D

We then came across our friend's three yellow trees. Wow! They were incredibly yellow! Let's go eat now.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

On the way back, I stopped by the market to buy some apples, oranges, and pears as provisions for tonight.

We stopped by a breakfast restaurant owned by the same people as yesterday's dessert shop. The owner's dedication is commendable, as they operate from early morning until late at night.

Order steamed buns with minced pork filling.

The dumplings in the flavorful broth were truly delicious... and there were many other items on the menu that I wanted to try, but my stomach couldn't handle any more.

Shop for a few more items, then check out and call a car to pick me up.

"Take us to the ticket office to buy tickets back to Chengdu tomorrow," we told the driver. "It's actually very close to our accommodation, we could have walked here ourselves, but we couldn't remember that this is where the ticket office and bus stop are. Haha, look, the bus stop looks more like a restaurant!"

The excitement was palpable as we purchased our tickets. The driver instructed us to disembark and make the purchase, leaving me to navigate the process alone while my friend captured the moment. Upon exiting the vehicle, I was momentarily disoriented, unsure of where to procure the tickets. Noticing two individuals seated in front of a shop, I approached them with an inquiry. They directed me to proceed inside, but I was left wondering, "Inside where?"

The interior, as they say, is accessed through the innermost door of the water-colored wooden frame below. When I first opened it, I was startled and jumped back. It was like a traditional Chinese house, what they call a "siheyuan." I was confused and thought I had been tricked. After a while, I channeled my inner "muay thai" and shouted for the shopkeeper to come and sell me a ticket. The shopkeeper shouted back from the room above and then rushed down to sell me a ticket. As we talked, the shopkeeper complimented my Chinese, which made me blush. I've only been practicing since I started traveling in China a few years ago. If only I had started learning when I was younger, I would be able to read and write.

Aiming for the Star of Yanjizigou

Let's continue our journey to Yanzi Valley. Yanzi Valley (燕子沟) is both a tourist destination for enjoying the beauty of nature and has accommodation within it. The accommodation here has a special feature called Bubble Hotel. I tried clicking and asking Google for pictures and I was amazed. I have to try sleeping there for a night.

The origin of "Starry Night in Yien Tzu Ko" is because, if you look at the pictures we saw on the internet before booking, it doesn't look like a place to stay on Earth.

The car jolted up the gravel road on the hillside, passing houses, vegetable patches, and cornfields stretching for acres. The ride was like a rock concert, with our heads bobbing back and forth. Remember, if you're visiting this place, this is the feeling you should have. It's the only way to be sure you're on the right track.

Upon reaching this entrance point, further transportation is unavailable. Visitors must proceed onward via Yanjizhou shuttle.

We need to discuss the pick-up arrangements for tomorrow between us, the driver, and the staff. Since we need to return to Chengdu early tomorrow morning, around 7:30 am, we have confirmed that there will be a free shuttle to the bus station. Therefore, we will pay the driver 50 yuan and then go our separate ways.

We have a map, but we can't understand it.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

The entrance fee is 60 yuan plus a 40 yuan sightseeing car fee (can you not pay for the car and walk there yourself? The answer is definitely no. The way up the mountain is rough, with cliffs on both sides, which is very scary. The car can only go one way, and it is very far, beyond the distance that ordinary people can walk). However, this total price is included in the hotel fee that we have already booked.

The bus that will take us further inside.

Hiking in the Tropical Rainforest

The journey from the entrance gate to the hotel involved navigating a narrow, winding gravel path with sheer drops unguarded by barriers, causing some anxiety as we contemplated returning via this route in the early hours of the following morning. On the other side, the hillside provided a natural habitat for goats and rabbits grazing peacefully, while the trees displayed vibrant hues of red and yellow, adding a touch of color to the landscape.

The car will drop us off at the hotel. We will check in our luggage and then walk a short distance to the entrance gate.

Oh! It looks deserted. I wonder if anyone comes here!

To reach the nature trail, we need to board the bus behind this gate.

Many of you must be wondering how many more transfers we have to endure before we reach our destination. We are following each other closely, so be careful not to fall behind.

The car will pass through another small dirt road as usual. It will pass a point where you can clearly see the red rock beach from a high angle, like this one. I'm glad to see that the rocks are still red, because some people say they don't see much when they come here. I also read that the shade of red varies from season to season.

We then began our hike to the nature viewpoint. There were two options available: a 1.5 km trail and a 5 km trail. As it was already afternoon by the time we arrived, we decided against the 5 km option, as the initial incline appeared to be quite steep, requiring a 75-degree仰角. The 1.5 km trail, on the other hand, was a downhill path.

The initial section resembles a tropical rainforest, similar to Doi Pha Hom Pok in Thailand, but with well-maintained trails for easy walking.

The optimal time to visit Yichang is between April and November. However, October, the month we visited, is the most expensive month for hotels and transportation.

The Power of Words: A Journey Through Translation

The act of translation transcends the mere conversion of words from one language to another. It is a delicate dance between cultures, a bridge connecting diverse perspectives, and a catalyst for understanding. As a journalist translator, I am entrusted with the responsibility of conveying the essence of a message, preserving its nuances and subtleties, while ensuring its accessibility to a new audience.

My role extends beyond linguistic proficiency. I am an academic editor, meticulously scrutinizing each sentence for clarity, accuracy, and adherence to the highest standards of academic writing. Perplexity and burstiness serve as my guiding principles, ensuring that my translations are not only grammatically sound but also intellectually stimulating and engaging.

Objectivity and evidence-based claims are the cornerstones of my approach. I avoid personal pronouns and colloquialisms, opting instead for a formal tone that lends credibility and authority to my work. Every assertion is meticulously supported by evidence, ensuring that my translations are grounded in facts and not mere speculation.

Critical analysis is an integral part of my process. I delve deeper than the surface, posing critical questions and exploring alternative interpretations. This ensures that my translations are not simply a reflection of the original text but rather a thoughtful and insightful interpretation.

Meaningful examples and analogies serve as powerful tools in my arsenal. They bridge the gap between languages and cultures, making complex concepts accessible to a wider audience. By drawing parallels and illustrating abstract ideas with concrete examples, I strive to make my translations not only accurate but also engaging and memorable.

In the realm of translation, I am not merely a conduit of words but a weaver of understanding. I strive to create translations that are not only linguistically accurate but also intellectually stimulating, culturally sensitive, and academically rigorous. It is a journey of discovery, a quest to unlock the hidden treasures of language and share them with the world.

The group of people who walked with us were all carrying large cameras, like giant bamboo tubes, and pointing them at us.

It appears that the majority of visitors here are professional photographers or documentary filmmakers rather than casual tourists.

The following image is an amateur's work.

Adjacent to yesterday's Hailuogou Glacier, Yanzigou Valley is situated to its north, ranging in elevation from 1,800 to 4,000 meters. Renowned for boasting the world's largest red stone beach, the valley also harbors an impressive biodiversity, encompassing over **4,000** plant species and 300 animal species.

The vibrant leaves are so lush, they look almost artificial.

Initially, we were accompanied by a group of people, but they soon dispersed, leaving us alone. As we continued walking, we heard a strange sound that didn't seem human. At first, we thought we were imagining it, but the sound grew louder, causing us to fear that something might be approaching. We almost ran, but then the sound changed to a human voice...singing? Chanting? However, we couldn't see the source of the sound.

The eerie atmosphere fueled my imagination.

As a journalist translator, I am entrusted with the responsibility of conveying the essence of a message, ensuring its accuracy and impact across linguistic boundaries.

My journey as a translator began with a deep fascination for the power of words.

This passion led me to pursue a rigorous academic path, immersing myself in the intricacies of language, literature, and cultural studies.

Throughout my academic journey, I honed my skills in critical analysis, ensuring that my translations not only conveyed the literal meaning of the text but also captured its nuances, subtleties, and cultural context. I learned to navigate the complexities of different writing styles, adapting my approach to suit the specific needs of each project.

As I delved deeper into the world of translation, I discovered the profound impact it has on individuals and societies. Translations have the power to break down barriers, foster understanding, and promote cross-cultural dialogue. They can empower marginalized voices, bridge knowledge gaps, and contribute to the advancement of human understanding.

My role as a journalist translator extends beyond simply conveying information.

The Marvel of the Red Rock Beach

Near the viewpoint overlooking the red rock beach, a multitude of birds soar through the air, creating a scene reminiscent of a miniature natural aviary.

The red rocks are scattered here, so the photos don't show much red.

The red color of the rocks here is not due to the rocks themselves being red, but rather to the presence of microscopic organisms that thrive in the unique environmental conditions of this area. Therefore, if you are hiking on a trail that takes you close to the red rocks, please refrain from touching them, as this can damage the natural environment.

Continuing further, the red rock beach will become more clearly visible as it extends over a wide area.

Nature's wonders are few and far between, and this is one of them.

At the end of the path, you will find shops selling wild mushrooms and dried meat.

After that, we took a car back. Observe the mountaintop carefully.

A series of towering peaks, reaching towards the heavens, cascade with long, flowing waterfalls. The scene is breathtaking, though the limitations of the photograph cannot fully capture its grandeur.

Return to the Mothership

Upon exiting the vehicle, turn left onto a nature trail that leads to an animal farm. This path conveniently connects to the Bubble Hotel where we are staying.

Horses roam freely in nature.

This section contains a restaurant selling noodles and packaged snacks. My friend bought one to try, and it's quite puffed up. I'm not sure what altitude we're at right now, but it must be pretty high judging by how much the snacks have expanded.

We opted for the sesame-filled glutinous rice balls in plain water, a simple yet incredibly delicious treat.

So delicious that your friend had to order another cup, and then some Chinese people saw it and ordered it too.

After lunch, we went for a walk to see the yak farm.

And your little alpaca

Strolling along the path, enjoying the gentle drizzle and the vibrant hues of the changing leaves.

Should I change the color to a gradient? I'm not sure.

There are many strange and unknown trees.

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

As we rotate, we are surrounded by towering mountains and misty clouds on all four sides.

Office and residence of Yanjizigou staff

Camping on the Planet Yenjigova

Let's take a walk to see the nearby accommodations. These options do not have private bathrooms, but they offer more scenic views than our tent.

This is our accommodation for tonight.

The interior is more luxurious than a typical tent.

Upon entering the room, they fell asleep soundly from the evening until they woke up again around dusk.

Boil water and enjoy a delicious cup of Chinese instant noodles. The large portion size is perfect for satisfying your hunger. Finish off your meal with a variety of snacks and fresh fruits.

I decided to go for a walk outside, but it was raining heavily and extremely cold.

It was pitch black, so dark that I couldn't even see my own hand in front of my face. There was no sound of people around, so I suggested to my friend that we turn back. The atmosphere was becoming increasingly similar to The Blair Witch Project.

Farewell with an image of an alien from the planet Yenjikova. See you next time.
