Away from the Crowds: These Hidden Travel Gems Are Less Crowded, Scenic, and Affordable!
With the recent resumption of cross-provincial travel in China, many travel enthusiasts can't wait to pack their bags and set off to make up for the first half of the year's travel plans and goals.
I believe you will also gather many travel guides before a trip, and most online guides only recommend popular, crowded attractions, which diminishes the experience when too many people are around.
This time, based on the voting results of many travel experts, I'd like to introduce some lesser-known yet beautiful travel destinations. Save them now before more people discover them.
Lichuan is a county under the administration of Fuzhou, located in the central part of Jiangxi Province, in the middle section of the Wuyi Mountains. It is often called the 'second porcelain capital.'
With its picturesque mountains and clear waters, many precious animals and plants, as well as endangered tree species—including the first-class protected fragrant tree—have been discovered here.
When visiting Lichuan, don't miss the Ming and Qing ancient street. Although not extremely old, this street has witnessed the area's historical development and changes.
When it comes to Ningde, many people's first thought is Xiapu. In fact, Fuding is also a hidden gem that most people overlook.
Due to its geography, Fuding has a well-developed water system, with islands of various shapes scattered across the lake. The famous Yushan Island is located here.
Yushan Island, formerly known as Fuyao Islands, was rated as one of China's ten most beautiful islands a few years ago. Additionally, Fuding's complex terrain features famous strange rocks, deep caves, and steep peaks.
Keketuohai in Altay
Speaking of Keketuohai, many may not have heard of it. It is located in the Altai Mountains in northern Xinjiang, where simple herders live, working from sunrise to sunset. The Irtysh River flows through the town.
The name 'Keketuohai' means 'green jungle' and also 'blue river bay.' From these names, you can imagine how beautiful this land is.
In summer, it is cool and comfortable, perfect for a short stay. To the east is the Irtysh River, and to the west is the Kekesuohai Lake, formed by the melting snow from Dadonggou, driving away the summer heat.
When traveling to western Sichuan, most people's first choice is Daocheng and Jiuzhaigou. With recent tourism development, Daofu has been discovered by more and more people.
Daofu is located between the Yala Snow Mountain and Gongga Mountain. The snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all year round, and at their feet are dense forests of redwood trees and lakes, creating a magnificent natural landscape.
Stepping onto this magnificent land feels like entering another world—truly a Shangri-La on earth.
