How many moments like this can one experience in a lifetime

How many times can one be moved by such moments in a lifetime? 😭|||Before setting off, my friends may not understand me. I embarked on a journey spanning 2000 kilometers, traversed high altitudes, and hiked for an entire day. All for a single tree🌲, just to feel those moments known as the beauty of life. Without any surprises, I set off alone again. Flying to Lijiang, I shared a ride to Haba Village the day before to stay overnight. The next morning, I started the trek into the mountains with a guide. Along the way, 🌞the weather alternated between sunny and overcast. As we went deeper into the mountains, the light rain gradually turned into moderate rain. When I arrived under that solitary tree, it was a stormy downpour. I asked the guide to return to the camp first, and I stayed under the tree for several hours. After taking photos, I gazed at it quietly for a long time. Back at the camp that night, a torrential rain began, accompanied by hail. Also, due to altitude sickness, I couldn't sleep all night. The next morning, in a daze, I saw a faint yellow tint on the horizon. Suddenly energized, I braved the cold wind on the mountaintop and was super lucky to witness the sunrise over Haba Snow Mountain. 🌅 Standing midway up the mountain, I had a panoramic view of the sunrise over Haba Snow Mountain and the Black Sea. There was also that lonely tree, and the experiences of heading to the base camp the next day, and successfully summiting Haba Snow Mountain in bad weather on the third day...🏔️🏔️ I recorded all the experiences of this journey for a long time afterward. Looking at the photos today and recalling the memories, I feel an even deeper understanding of the true meaning of setting off. 📍Location: Haba Snow Mountain—Black Sea, Yunnan. The period around National Day each year is the best season to enjoy the autumn scenery at Haba Snow Mountain. To see the famous tree at Black Sea, you can follow outdoor trails or find a leader in Haba Village to guide you. Both horse riding and hiking are possible. After checking in at the famous tree at Black Sea, be sure to walk to the mountainside next to it to overlook the Black Sea, it's truly incomparably beautiful. 【Transportation】: Fly to Lijiang Airport—You can choose to share a ride or hire a private car to Haba Village, then hike for about 5 hours to reach Black Sea.
