Xu finds out that May 19, the day when he started to write his masterpiece "Travels of Xu Xiake," has been designated as National Tourism Day in China. They also see modes of transport which truly enable people to be beside the blue sea in the morning and at Mount Cangwu in the evening.

Finally, Sa takes them to Sanjiangyuan, where Xu expresses his desire to trace the source of the Yangtze River. They taste water from there and Xu's wish comes true.
