Young Chinese set out on the road to adventure

The younger generation is turning its back on the traditional holiday routes of museums and shopping malls in favor of new experiences. Xin Wen reports.

Curiosity is Bai Yu's default setting. Since 2014, his sense of adventure has prompted him to travel to more than 20 countries in just 20 months, and also led him to quit his job to make a solo cycle ride through the northern part of the Tibet autonomous region.

The 30-year-old always maintains a positive attitude when traveling, so when he was climbing an active volcano in Indonesia, he couldn't resist peering into the crater and subjecting himself to the pungent odors even though he wasn't wearing a face mask.
