Travel Notes of Barkol: In that vast expanse of land, I found myself

The prairie wind blows gently, clouds float atop the peaks. Oh, Barkol, you are like a poem, vast land stirs my heart. I came seeking dreams, treading on green grass, dreams soar under the starry sky. On this land, I found the truest form of life. Setting foot on the land of Barkol, I felt as if I had entered a whole new world. There are no skyscrapers, no bustling traffic, only the vast prairie and the distant rolling mountains. Barkol, a place full of natural charm and unique style, brought me an unprecedented experience. Upon arriving in Barkol, I was captivated by the boundless prairie. Standing on the prairie, I felt as if I could sense the breath of the earth, each deep breath filled with the fresh scent of grass. I tried riding a horse across the prairie like the locals, and that sense of freedom and wildness made me forget all my worries. At that moment, I felt as if I had become one with the land, becoming a part of nature. Besides the prairie, the mountains of Barkol also left a deep impression on me. I chose a small path and decided to hike to the top. Although the process was somewhat difficult, when I stood at the summit, overlooking the prairie below and the distant snow-capped mountains, the sense of awe and accomplishment was beyond words. I felt as if I was breathing with the heavens and earth, sharing destiny with all things. In Barkol, I was also fortunate to experience a unique herdsman life. I stayed in a yurt, living and working with the herdsmen. I learned how to milk cows, make cheese, and tasted the herdsmen's homemade milk tea and hand-grabbed meat. That simplicity and warmth made me feel the warmth of home. Of course, the night sky of Barkol is also a unique scenery. At night, I lay on the prairie, gazing at the brilliant starry sky. The stars seemed within reach, the Milky Way spanning the sky, and at that moment, I felt as if I had merged into the embrace of the universe. I quietly listened to the nocturne of the prairie, feeling the mystery and greatness of nature. This trip to Barkol made me deeply appreciate the diversity and richness of life. Here, I found the truth and beauty of life, and gained a rare sense of peace and satisfaction. Barkol, this place full of natural charm and unique style, will become a beautiful scenery in my life's journey. When leaving Barkol, I looked back at this vast land. It appeared more vivid and lively under the afterglow of the sunset. I know that no matter how time flows, Barkol will always remain in my heart, becoming one of my precious memories. Here, I found myself and also found the true meaning of life.
