Xu Xiake was an explorer (探险者) of the late Ming dynasty who travelled to huge mountains and deep valleys in China. He was one of the greatest explorers in Chinese history.
He travelled so that he could feel strong winds beat his body; he travelled so that his feet could kiss the soil of the mountains.
After he died, Xu left behind his famous book, *Xu Xiake's Travels*, which provides meaningful materials to the Chinese geological study. It included a record of what he saw, heard and thought about during his travels and was a personal diary that was not published during his lifetime. It was said that Xu was a filial (孝顺的) son and the beginning purpose of his travel diary was to allow his mother to travel around the world through his eyes at home. He followed the ancient teaching that says, “When one's parents are alive, one must not travel to far places.” For this reason, when his mother was still alive, he mainly travelled the south - eastern half of the country and would not leave home for too long.
The most important part of his travels was his ten thousand - mile journey to the south - west. He travelled from Zhejiang to Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, then Guizhou, and Yunnan. This journey took him four years and he wrote about ten times more than he did in the past. In the morning, he would be climbing the mountains and crossing rivers. At night, he would lay out a piece of paper and record his daily experiences beside an oil lamp.
Xu lived his life visiting mountains and rivers all day long. He was a great person in history. In fact, Xu who lived 400 years ago was more like today's backpackers — very cool!

徐霞客是明朝晚期的一位探险者，他游历了中国的崇山峻岭和深谷。他是中国历史上最伟大的探险者之一。
他旅行，是为了感受强风拂过身体；他旅行，是为了让双脚亲吻山间的泥土。
徐霞客去世后，留下了他的名著《徐霞客游记》，这部著作为中国的地质研究提供了有意义的资料。它记录了他在旅行中的所见、所闻、所想，是一部生前未出版的个人日记。据说徐霞客是个孝顺的儿子，他写旅行日记最初的目的是让母亲能在家中通过他的眼睛环游世界。他遵循古训“父母在，不远游”。因此，在母亲在世时，他主要游历了国家的东南半壁，而且不会离家太久。
他旅行中最重要的部分是他的万里西南之行。他从浙江出发，前往江西、湖南、广西，然后到贵州、云南。这次旅行花了他四年时间，他写下的内容比过去多了大约十倍。早上，他会爬山过河。晚上，他会在油灯旁铺开一张纸，记录他的日常经历。
徐霞客一生终日游历山水。他是历史上的一位伟人。事实上，生活在400年前的徐霞客更像今天的背包客——非常酷！
