People often say that travel is one of the most direct ways to understand the world – to embrace nature and find a place of peace. The discoveries, encounters, and feelings you experience while traveling are something you simply cannot get sitting in a cramped office.

China’s 9.6 million square kilometers of land encompass forests, lakes, hills, deserts – every kind of scenery imaginable, constantly calling you to set off.

Here you’ll find brilliant sunshine, boundless skies, and low-hanging clouds drifting over endless grasslands; the tranquil Sayram Lake with its colorful flower sea; and vast, verdant pastures. All that is beautiful seems gathered here.

Hoh Xil, meaning “beautiful maiden” in Mongolian, is China’s largest, highest, and most mysterious “death zone.”

Its unique location prevents long-term human habitation, yet it is a paradise for wild animals.

This might be one of the least Earth-like landscapes on the planet. Perhaps never has any place wielded nature’s palette so vividly and completely as the Zhangye Danxia landform.

Speaking of the history of the Mogao Caves, you can never truly grasp it without standing there in person. The exquisite flying apsaras and murals embody over a thousand years of spiritual power.

Lhasa is the ultimate dream for countless people. On this snowy plateau, it seems every soul is born for devotion, and setting foot on this land cleanses the heart.

Beneath blue skies, Lugu Lake is crystal clear and azure. The Mosuo people paddle their “pig-trough boats,” drifting like leaves on the water, sharing the stories of their tribe with every visitor.

Here, any words of love feel utterly insufficient. Sweethearts can simply stroll hand in hand, and at this remote, romantic spot – like the ends of the earth – make a wish meant only for each other.

Stilt houses, the little Chadong street, the rope ferry, the White Pagoda… With his words, Shen Congwen built the Fenghuang Ancient Town that lives in millions of readers’ hearts – a dreamlike frontier town of moonlit romance.
