I must have thought about it and really want to take my parents on a trip. But I haven’t been anywhere yet.
I am a tourism worker, engaged in outdoor travel, group tours, ground pick-up work, scenic spot work, and I have also run a travel agency for many years. It can be said that I am more familiar and convenient with travel than most people. Even travel agencies offer free domestic or overseas tours every year (wholesalers offer free tours every year in order to recommend their own routes and make travel agencies more familiar with them to facilitate sales), but I have never taken my parents on a trip.
What is the reason?
When I was a child: There were many poor children in my family, and my parents hated having to eat and drink to save money for us. How can you have extra money to travel?
Going to college: Both parents are farmers, and all the children in the family are going to college. The tuition fees for a year are so heavy that they are "breathless". How dare they mention traveling.
After work: Finally, all the children at home are working and have money. Our parents even ask us to save money. They will not be unhappy even if we spend more money and say that we need to save money. When we buy a house and get married, they can't help us much as they get old.
Now: We are all married, we have a house, and our parents have savings. It's time for them to enjoy their travels, but they have been frugal all their lives and are reluctant to part with them. They still feel that traveling is a waste of money. My parents’ sense of “happiness” is that they are happy when their family is doing well.
If they can figure it out and come out to play, I will take them to Beijing. Look at Tiananmen, Chairman Mao, because they came from that era. Although I don’t understand it, I have received many grandparents who came to Beijing specifically to travel. They have never traveled anywhere in their lives. Beijing is the first time, or maybe it is. This last trip, I think there must be people in Beijing who miss, reminisce and witness it. . .
Maybe it’s hereditary. My parents and I both like to travel. Although we like to travel, we have never traveled together.
At home, my father’s love for traveling comes first, followed by me and my mother’s last.
My father has been to the most places, followed by me, and my mother last.
I have always wanted to travel with my parents and make beautiful memories in other places. All three people like to travel, and it must be wonderful for three people to do what they like together.
1. I must be the one who makes travel guides. Nothing else, because I am young and play 666 very well on computers and mobile phones. To write a guide, I need to look up a lot of information, such as getting directions, booking hotels, booking tickets... I have to find information on the computer.
Although my parents also use mobile phones and computers, they usually use them for work. My parents don’t even play Douyin, and they don’t even know what travel apps are, so they do things like travel guides. You can only leave it to me.
2. The most caring person must be the father. That’s right! You read that right, the most caring person is my father! Not the mother.
I remember that last year my friends and I traveled to Jiangxi. My father sent me to the station and asked me if I had brought any water. I was confused. Why should I bring water when traveling?
My father smiled and took out two bottles of water for me and said: "It takes several hours to take the high-speed train from Guangdong to Jiangxi. How can we do it without water? Do you want to die of thirst? Just I know you don’t know how to prepare water, but fortunately I bought two bottles, which are enough for you to drink.”
In fact, at home, it is my father who cares about me more. Others say that daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets. To me, father is my daughter’s caring little cotton-padded jackets.
3. The one who keeps taking pictures must be the mother. My mother loves taking pictures the most, and it must be my father who takes the pictures because his photography skills are very good.
4. What about me? What am I doing? I guess I watched my parents show affection and eat a lot of dog food. It’s not easy being a daughter!
1. Beijing
My parents are from the older generation. Although I don’t say it, I know that it is a place where my parents care about and yearn for spiritually. No matter who they are, they are I hope to have the opportunity to visit the country’s capital.
2. Jiuzhaigou
My father likes Jiuzhaigou very much. He went there once when he was young and stayed there for two months before returning home from Jiuzhaigou. After that, I kept thinking about going there again.
If I take my father to Jiuzhaigou again, my father will be very happy. Traveling is meant to be fun. As long as your parents are happy, you can go anywhere.
3. Xi’an
Mom likes Xi’an very much.
Every time during the National Day and New Year holidays, when my mother looked at WeChat and saw many people sending photos of travel, she would say with emotion: "It would be great to go to Xi'an, where you can see the Terracotta Warriors..."
My mother has been thinking about Xi'an for many years, but has never been there for various reasons. So when I travel with my parents in the future, I will choose to go to Xi'an, because my family likes it.
1. When taking your parents to travel, I don’t think you need to read articles such as “Recommendations for taking your parents to travel”.
Take your parents wherever they like. Go to a place you like to play, and you will have more fun.
If your parents have not stated clearly where they want to travel, you can observe your parents and listen to what they say. For example, my parents have expressed where they want to go.
2. Maybe bring Traveling with my parents was the most correct trip for me.
No matter what happens, I will always love my parents.
Maybe I might be a little bored or even sad during the trip. After all, based on my understanding of my parents, they will definitely show affection, but it doesn’t matter, it’s wonderful for the family to do happy things together.
Yes! It was such an unforgettable memory that I still get teary-eyed when I think about it. I really regret not taking them to more places!
Since I have been studying and working outside, I took my parents and grandparents to many places. Especially my grandparents, who are old (over 80) and have always stayed in a small place and never left. More than 60 years ago, my grandfather was also a member of the Communist Party and served as a soldier in Nanjing for several years. Times are developing so fast now, and the world outside has changed a lot. My grandfather especially wanted to go out and see the development of China and the changes of this era. I believe this is the common wish of many elderly people.
Our family takes a self-driving trip every Spring Festival, sometimes long-distance, sometimes short-distance, and it feels great. In fact, I especially recommend taking your elders to places with history and culture, or where the weather is as warm as spring. For example:
1. Places with profound history and culture: Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Xi'an and other places; these places can evoke profound memories of the previous generation and bring them a lot of emotion.
2. Places with famous scenery and people: Hangzhou, Suzhou, Xiamen, Taiwan and other places (in fact, Qinghai is also good in summer, the altitude is not too high, and there are special scenery of plateau lakes); these The place is suitable for relaxing, and it’s time to relax and unwind as you get older.
3. Places with good and warm weather like spring: Southeast Asia, Shenzhen, Hainan, Yunnan and other places.
In 2012, I was still in college in Nanjing, and my senior year was relatively free. My parents and grandparents went to Nanjing for a trip. For my parents, it was purely about seeing something new, while my grandfather was all about memories, carefully touching every brick in the city. Over the past 60 years, the city has undergone tremendous changes, and all he could see were probably the place names and the shapes of the roads. During the whole trip, my grandpa bought me some and told me stories about that year, as if we had all traveled through time. But the most impressive thing about that trip was that my 80-year-old grandfather followed us to many places in Nanjing. Most of them took buses and walked to visit scenic spots (students had no money at the time, and they were more economical), but my grandfather’s strong and vigorous figure still impressed me. memorable.
During the Spring Festival of 2013, we went to Liu Bocheng’s former residence in Kaizhou, Chongqing (relatively close); in October 2014, we took my parents-in-law to Nanjing (they were working in Nanjing at the time);
On May Day in 2015, because I didn’t have enough fun in 2012, I took my grandparents and parents to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Yangtze River Delta region; because I had already started working that year and had some savings, and I especially wanted to leave them for my grandparents. Some unforgettable memories will allow them to have no regrets in their later years. So I made a very complete plan and took them to ride the maglev, visit Lujiazui, take the ferry, and go to Hangzhou West Lake, Suzhou Gardens and many other places, all at once.
After returning home, I can brag among my friends
