旅行成语：旅行别样表达知多少？

When the holiday season arrives, travel throughout the nation surges. This has given rise to a variety of travel-related phrases, such as “special forces-style travel” and “check-in”. However, beyond these trending online terms, there are some long-existing Chinese idioms that are used when talking about travel.

Travel day and night

For enthusiasts of “special forces-style tourism,” time is of great importance. To visit as many places as possible, they carefully plan their trips in advance, requiring early starts and late finishes each day. They might even forgo sleep to travel through the night. This style of tourism can be summarized by the idiom “travel day and night”: to travel continuously, regardless of the hour. Despite the exhaustion, visiting a lot of places of interest in a brief period brings them significant fulfillment.

Leisurely exploring mountains and rivers

However, for some individuals, the essence of travel lies in relaxation. These travelers prefer to take it easy, enjoying their sightseeing as it comes. Thus, even if their journey includes hiking up mountains and descending along rivers, it can be described as “leisurely exploring mountains and rivers”.

Flower viewing from horseback

In recent years, “check-in tourism” has grown increasingly popular, particularly among younger generations. They prepare a list of trendy destinations and visit each one by one to take photos and share them on social media. While this approach satisfies the urge to document and share their experiences, it raises questions about how deeply these travelers can appreciate a place’s charm or history. The idiom “flower viewing from horseback” vividly illustrates this phenomenon.

Not putting a foot outside

Regardless of how you choose to travel, everyone seeks joy and fulfillment during this holiday. Even if you choose to stay at home, there’s an idiom that suits you perfectly: not putting a foot outside. After all, sometimes steering clear of the crowds can be the most relaxing choice of all.
