When a 21-year-old young man decides to spend 50,000 yuan traveling across China within half a year, what challenges will he face? Can he make it?

On August 29th, He Li (alias) told reporters that he had already completedthree-quarters of his journey. Starting from Shanghai, he first traveled to the Xizang Autonomous Region, then to Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, and other provinces. Since April 13th, he has visited over 50 cities.

In Liaoning, he took a ferry from Dalian to Yantai. During the "seven hours disconnected from the world," the sky shifted from deep blue to golden, until the sunset painted the heavens, and seabirds flew into the distance. With a single ferry ticket, the boy from the mountainous region of Bazhong city in Sichuan Province fulfilled his dream of seeing the vast blue sea.

In Beijing, he spent 650 yuan during six days, including staying in a youth hostel with 60 yuan per night. In the mornings, he bought a few steamed buns and Chinese savory pancakesas food for the day. During the day, he walked 20,000 to 30,000 steps through various scenery spots, and late at night, he ordered group meal deals on food delivery platforms.

So far, He Li has spent just over 20,000 yuan, with his train tickets stacked two centimeters thick. He said his family did not believe he could really tour all of China. "For parents, if their child is away from home for too long, they are bound to feel unhappy. They said I was wandering around every day and would be better off finding a stable job. But since I spent only the money I had saved on my own, they eventually came around."

As China fully transitions to digital ticketing, paper train tickets will be phased out after September 30th this year. "The magnificent landscapes of our motherland are breathtaking. I am determined to finish my journey before September 30th. This will be something I can take pride in for the rest of my life."

21岁男生花2万多元游50多座城市：计划5万元游遍中国

当一个21岁的年轻人决定花5万元在半年内游遍中国，他会遇到什么？他能实现吗？

8月29日，何理（化名）告诉记者，这趟旅途已经完成四分之三，他从上海开始，先是去西藏，然后去甘肃、青海、宁夏、山东、河南、湖北……4月13日至今，他已游玩了50多座城市。

在辽宁，他乘坐轮渡从大连到烟台，在“与世界失联的7个小时”里，天空由湛蓝染上金黄，直到晚霞铺满天空，海鸟飞向远方。一张船票，圆了这个来自巴中大山少年的蓝色大海梦。

在北京，他花650元玩了6天，住青旅一晚60元，早上买几个包子和饼作为一天的干粮，白天步行两三万步穿梭于各个景区，深夜就在外卖平台上点团购套餐。

到现在为止，何理只花了两万多元，火车票摞起来有两厘米厚。他表示，家里人不相信他要游遍中国，“对父母而言，孩子在外面玩久了，他们总归是不高兴，说我天天在外面流浪，还不如找个稳定的工作。但我花的钱都是我自己攒的，他们后来也就妥协了。”

随着全面数字化，今年9月30日后，纸质版火车票将退出历史舞台。“祖国的大好河山很壮丽，我要坚持在9月30日前把行程走完，这也是我一生值得骄傲的事。”
