China Tourism Day: Landscapes Like Poems

Poetry and landscapes meet at every turn. Remember the first time you read in a Chinese textbook, “The torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high, as if the Silver River fell from the blue sky”? With just a few strokes, the immortal poet Li Bai made the Lu Mountain waterfall surge endlessly in the youthful imaginations of so many. When you finally stand before it, you realize just how awe-inspiring the sights poets witnessed thousands of years ago truly were.

At West Lake, encounter the hazy poetic charm of “misty rain drifting into Jiangnan”; atop a riverside pavilion, feel the magnificent scene of “autumn waters blending with the vast sky”; ascending Mount Tai, grasp the lofty ambition of “when shall I reach the topmost height?”… On May 19, China Tourism Day, let’s journey with poetry and experience the millennia-long cultural legacy. From the textbook to your feet, it’s just the distance of a poem away.
