Time Insight

Time may not prove many things, but it can certainly see through many things.

10 Days With The Most Steps In 2019

According to Pedometer app, I walked the most steps in my Sichuan trip:

1. July 5: 31,497 steps ~ 15.12 km* (in Chengdu)
2. July 6: 29,337 steps ~ 14.08 km (in Chengdu)
3. July 3: 28,849 steps ~ 13.85 km (in Mt. Siguniang)
4. June 24: 23,878 steps ~ 11.46 km (in Dujiangyan and Chengdu)
5. June 26: 23,233 steps ~ 11.15 km (in Songpan and Mounigou)
6. June 30: 20,196 steps ~ 9.7 km (in Langmusi)
7. June 27: 20,136 steps ~ 9.67 km (in Huanglong)
8. May 18: 19,550 steps ~ 9.38 km (in Wulingyuan And Fenghuang Old Town)
9. Nov 5: 17,348 steps ~ 8.33 km (in Shanghai)
10. Jun 23: 16,136 steps ~ 7.75 km (in Saigon, Hanoi, and Chengdu)

* My normal stride length is 48 cm (80% of the number in the app 60cm).

While ChatGPT suggested that:
“On average, a person with a height of 152 cm (1.52 meters) might have a stride length of approximately 0.65 to 0.75 meters. Using the midpoint of 0.7 meters, we can estimate the distance covered by 30,000 steps.”

If I used this method, the longest I walked was 22.05 km/day, while the shortest was 11.3 kilometers.

Nature Wisdom

🌊🏔️❄️
Water is inherently tranquil, but its surface ripples in the wind. Mountains remain timeless, but snow crowns the white hair.
//
水本无忧，因风皱面，山原不老，为雪白头。
Shuǐ běn wú yōu, yīn fēng zhòu miàn, shānyuán bùlǎo, wèi xuě báitóu.
//
Thủy bản vô ưu, nhân phong trứu diện, sơn nguyên bất lão, vi tuyết bạch đầu.
//
Nước vốn không lo, lại vì gió nhăn mặt, núi vốn không già, lại vì tuyết bạc đầu.
