Chinese father Liu Ningliang plays with his elder daughter near on a national highway as he took his two daughters for a one-month journey on a tractor from Sanya of south China's Hainan province to Xingtai of north China's Hebei province, 8 August 2018. While many parents take their children for vacations in the summer, a father in Xingtai, North China's Hebei province, took his two daughters for a one-month trip on a tractor. Liu Ningliang, who was born in the 1980s, used to drive a tractor-refitted caravan from Hainan to Xingtai. On July 5, he boarded a train in Hebei with his two daughters, aged 10 and 11, and arrived in Hainan three days later. They spent three days in Sanya, Hainan, where the daughters were excited to see the ocean for the first time. On July 11, they began their journey from Sanya to Xingtai on the tractor. The tractor pulled a caravan with a living space of about 10 square meters, with three windows, one door and a double bed. Two maps were hung in the walls of the caravan, which also included pots and pans, daily necessities and repair tools. The daughters took charge of cooking. They bought vegetables in local markets accompanied by their father. The family usually ate vegetables and noodles, though they dined at a restaurant every week. Traveling on a tractor didn't feel so comfortable because it was hot in the south. They parked the vehicle under trees or bridges during the daytime and drove at night. On Aug 9, they arrived home after crossing seven provinces: Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Henan and Hebei. The journey cost them more than 6, 000 yuan. Liu said his daughters have become more independent and learned many things during the trip.
