A Coffee Cart with Altitude
Meet Li Wei, a 26-year-old barista who traded Sichuan's chili heat for coffee steam. Armed with a mobile cart, he roams the Altay region in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on the Chinese mainland, parking by Ulungur Lake to brew the perfect cup. ☕️
Brewing in Breathtaking Scenery
From snow-capped peaks to serene lake shores, every brew spot is more epic than the last. Li Wei experiments with single-origin beans, sharing coffee chat sessions that rival any vlog trend. It's like your favorite travel show, but with a caffeine twist! 🎥✨
Warmth Beyond the Beans
CGTN digital journalist He Beibei joined him to capture every moment. Locals, including Kazakh herders and Uygur families, welcomed him with open arms (and sometimes a plate of fresh naan). Their stories—of generations living alongside these vast landscapes—blend seamlessly into every sip.
Caffeine-Fueled Freedom
For Li Wei, this journey is more than coffee. It's a taste of freedom, community, and endless horizons. As the sun sets over Ulungur Lake, he pours one last cup, proving that sometimes the best adventures start with a single bean. 🌅
