China's beauty is more than just these! Don't miss these places during the National Day holiday.

01 Dali's Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon The broad meaning of Dali's Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon is "Xiaguan Wind, Shangguan Flower, Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon". But more often it refers to a romantic feeling. There are blue sky and white clouds, green water and green mountains, as well as ancient city walls and simple buildings, which are full of strong cultural atmosphere everywhere. In Dali, you can stroll in the ancient city lanes, feeling the precipitation of history and the traces of time. You can climb Cangshan Mountain, overlook Erhai Lake, and feel the grandeur and grandeur of nature. You can also rent a sports car to drive freely on the coastal road, watch the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea, enjoy the ancient town with a romantic taste in the air, as if every scene is so pure, so true, without a trace of distractions. Dali City·Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture 02 Jiuzhaigou "Nature's Palette" The beauty of Jiuzhaigou can only be understood by coming here in person. The lakes here are like mirrors, reflecting the surrounding mountains and trees, presenting charming blue, green and purple. Walking by the lake, it seems to be in a fairyland. The calm sea, like the most transparent gem in the world, is inlaid in the valley. Each color is shining with pearl light, showing a graceful and luxurious posture. Its wonderfulness is really hard to describe in words. Through the water surface, you can see the rugged stones and dead wood at the bottom of the water. When it is calm and windless, you can also see the reflection of the sky. Those dead trees in the water are like silent witnesses of Jiuzhaigou's independence from the world. They have turned into a unique coral forest and become a playground for fish. Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area 03 Guilin's world-class landscape Guilin's water is famous for its tranquility, clarity and greenness. It's so quiet that you can't feel it flowing, so clear that you can see the sand and stones at the bottom of the river, and so green that it seems to be a flawless emerald. With such a landscape, plus the misty clouds in the sky, the green trees and red flowers in the mountains, and the bamboo rafts and small boats on the river, it feels like walking into a continuous scroll, truly experiencing the artistic conception of "boating on the green waves, people in the painting". The peaks on both sides of the strait are different in shape. Some are like camels, some are like elephants, and some are like bamboo shoots. They are lifelike and make people marvel at the magic of nature. Sitting by the river, listening to the gurgling water, looking up at the starry sky, feeling the tranquility and comfort. Guilin's summer, without the noise and heat of the city, only the coolness and tranquility between the mountains and rivers. Guilin·Guangxi 04 Huangshan Sea of Clouds "Five mountains return without looking at the mountains, Huangshan returns without looking at the mountains." Huangshan is famous for its strange pines, strange stones, sea of clouds and hot springs. The peaks here are magnificent and the sea of clouds is surging, just like a fairyland. The welcoming pine is even the iconic landscape of Huangshan, symbolizing the hospitality of the Chinese people. Climbing to the top of Huangshan Mountain and overlooking the mountains, you will feel the grandeur and vastness of nature. The sea of clouds in Huangshan is even more intoxicating. The morning mist and the sunset glow of the setting sun are sprinkled on the sea of clouds, which is surging and dreamlike. With the shift of daylight, the sea of clouds also changes its posture. Sometimes it is like a light yarn winding around the waist of the mountain, putting a mysterious veil on Huangshan; sometimes it is like a wave surging and surging, submerging the peaks in the endless sea of clouds, which is breathtaking. Huangshan Scenic Area China's beauty is more than just these! What other places do you think you must go to in this life, share it!

Cangshan Mountain

Dali China, a magical place. #travel Day 1: Arrival from the Dali airport, get to the hotel. it's about 50mins journey, as we arrived at rush hour. Had a walk in Dali Old town. Day 2: Cable car to go to Cangshan. then took a taxi to ShuangLang old town, then to Xingsheng Bridge. Day 3: Went to XiZhou old Town. [Must-Visit Attractions] 1.Dali Old Town, the night view is beautiful, you see lots of people. there are millions of shops you can go in and check out local delicacies or buying little gifts for friends and family. 2. Cangshan Mountain, there are several roots to go up. we tried XiMaTan cable car, there are two stages to go up. the view is magnificent. you can take Erhai to full view. once you change to the 2nd stage, you are almost all in the cloud, it's magical. once you are at the end of the cable car journey, you can still walk to XiMaTan (there are stairs leading to it, suggest to have oxygen bottles with you, in case you are feeling not too well, as it's almost 4000meters above sea level. When coming down, we decided to walk to gantong Cable car, which is about 2 hours walk down. you don't need to buy tickets again for Gantong cable car, as this is covered in your ticket. 3. ShuangLang Old Town. LongKan MaTou & Eco corridor. Xingsheng Bridge. Make sure you are covered or make sure to put sun cream on, you can get tanned really easily since Dali is in a high altitude. The view in eco-corridor was beautiful, cars or motorcycles are not allowed to get in, there are bicycles or low speed scooters are available for renting. On one side, there are lots of Bai ethnic buildings, hotels, all nicely decorated with plants, flowers. on the other side, it's ErHai, the beautiful lake. there are coffee shops nearby, lots of photogenic shops. ShuangLang is another highlight, really nice views and food available in your fingers tips. rose cake is a local delicacies, you can find lots of shops are selling it. Restaurants, must try YunHeYi restaurant, it's on a hill, the views are just amazing.
