Wang Fei completed a domestic tour with her parents in late August last year and is currently planning a second one. The 32-year-old woman, from Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning Province,took her parents, in a recreational vehicle, across Southwest China's Yunnan Province and the Tibet Autonomous Region.
“I had traveled around the world during my years in Beijing, and the pandemic pressed the pause key for me and allowed me to spend a good amount of time with my parents,” says Wang, who quit her job at an advertising agency five years ago. Before the pandemic, Wang had mainly focused on introducing overseas destinations to domestic travelers. She came up with the idea of “marrying herself to the world”—wearing wedding gowns to travel and taking photos at famous landmarks around the globe. As her popularity began to rise with her posts on social media, in 2016, she became a travel influencer.Wang's accounts of her travel experiences in more than 20 countries have won her more than 300,000 followers on major travel and news media platforms.
As overseas destinations were not an option due to the COVID-19 situation abroad, Wang thought of shifting her focus to domestic getaways. “I figured I should take my parents to experience more places, food and fun across the country while they still can,” Wang says. She managed to get sponsorship from recreational vehicle companies, travel appliances and coffee brands. The intimate RV environment brought Wang and her parents closer together. “My parents did not consider what I did ‘a real job', and they wanted me to settle down behind a desk at a company,” Wang recalls.“During the trip, though, they helped me take photos and began to see how serious and hard my job actually is.” The stunning views of China's western regions, and the interactions between Wang and her parents, further stimulated her followers' desire to travel. “I was overwhelmed by their urges to get in touch with nature and be free,” Wang says.
Speaking about her future plans, Wang says she is looking forward to wearing her wedding gown while riding across the plains in Africa and posing with penguins in the Antarctic when the world fully recovers from the pandemic.
