Recommended travel destinations for July–August
In the last century, a large number of engineers who deeply admired French architectural culture came here, hoping to build a 'Paris of the East' on Eastern soil. They named it 'Dalniy,' meaning 'distant city,' which in Chinese is Dalian.
Today's Dalian boasts a Fisherman's Wharf with the same name as its foreign counterpart, vintage trams just like those abroad, and beaches, islands, and seas that are no less impressive. There are also endless seafood buffets to keep you full.
Dali is situated in the mountainous region of Yunnan-Guizhou, at the junction of highlands and mountain ranges. Cangshan Mountain is the main peak at the southern end of the Yunding Mountain Range, and Erhai Lake, stretching 40 kilometers, is the second-largest lake in Yunnan. The combination of Cangshan and Erhai creates a uniquely beautiful landscape.
You can leisurely row a boat on Erhai Lake, stroll through the ancient city to experience its historical culture, and feel the majesty of Cangshan. You can also visit the Buddhist holy site Jizu Mountain at its foot to listen to Buddhist chants up close.
Recommended travel destinations for September–November
When you come to Zhangye, you'll personally discover that the rugged Northwest, as people usually imagine, also has such a gentle side.
Zhangye's Danxia landform is very different from the usual single-colored Danxia. Most of it is colorful Danxia, which was once rated by National Geographic as one of 'China's most beautiful Danxia landforms.'
Besides visiting the colorful Danxia here, there is also the famous grotto temple—Matisi (Horse Hoof Temple)—where you can admire the art and cultural origins of the grottoes.
Greater Khingan Range
The Greater Khingan Range, located in northeastern Inner Mongolia, is China's largest and most well-preserved primeval forest. It features a forest belt stretching thousands of kilometers, with vast seas of forests, clear waters, and blue skies that make visitors linger.
Especially in autumn, layers of leaves turn yellow, adding a unique beauty to the area. While walking through the forest, you might even encounter elk roaming around.
Recommended travel destinations for November–December
In November, the entire ancient town of Wuyuan is filled with warm colors. The white and yellow houses of various Huizhou-style architectures form the most beautiful scenic line of Wuyuan.
The 'sun-drying harvest' (shai qiu) in Wuyuan has a strong regional culture. Villagers place their ripe crops outside to dry under the sun, creating a colorful 'drying harvest' scene. It has also become a popular subject for photographers and painters.
