A cup of tea is enough to accompany you around the world

Ancient times. People don't go far

Just after crossing Jingmen in the drizzle

Lu You's donkey couldn't go any further

He went to the inn to rest and wanted to sleep before going

Winter is coming soon

We changed boats but still couldn't

The river was so fast that we couldn't go fast enough

I was looking forward to "returning to the river in a day"

Half a month had passed and all I heard was

I still hear the sound of apes on the shore

Li Bai is the one who can walk so well

He never made it to the northeast in his life

If he had been to Changbai Mountain, he would not have

He would not have shouted "It's hard to walk" in Sichuan

It's better now

Trains are on the ground and planes are in the sky

You can travel through time and space from the comfort of your home

The Internet has turned the earth into the palm of your hand

Wherever you want to go, it will come to you

Don't worry about the journey

There will be a lack of food and water

A cup of tea is enough to accompany you

travel around the world
