Recommended autumn travel destinations
Autumn is the season of harvest and travel.
There are so many beautiful places in China. I hope you can become happy by walking, discovering beautiful places and meeting new people.
October in Dali is the most beautiful season of the year. The autumn air is crisp, the blue sky is never absent every day, stretching high above the head, and white clouds hang on the Cangshan Mountain in the distance, as if they are saying something. The water of Erhai Lake is exceptionally blue against the blue sky. Even the song says: Why not go all the way west to Dali... Maybe love is at the Erhai Lake.
The ancient city of Dali is the most romantic of all the ancient cities I have visited. When night falls, the entire ancient city of Dali is dyed a rich dark blue, dotted with yellow lights. Tourists shuttle through the long People's Street. There are many craftsmen selling their handicrafts on the streets, and from time to time in the bars A melodious and slightly sad song, the night in Dali is immersed in the romantic wind.
Caicun, not far from the ancient city of Dali, is a village with Bai ethnic characteristics. The entire village is a white Bai building, clean and elegant. Passing through the village, you can reach the Erhai Lake. There are also people living on the mountain opposite. When the sun sets, the entire water surface turns lavender. Dali is really full of romance.
Shangri-La means "sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan and is the capital of the prefecture-level administrative region of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. This is the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. The complex geographical environment has created unique scenery and people here.
Dukezong Ancient City is one of the most popular destinations.
In 2001, the ancient city of Dukezong was approved as a famous historical and cultural city in Yunnan Province. As the hub of the Tea-Horse Ancient Road, Dukezong has a history of more than 1,300 years. In the southwest corner of the Moonlight Square in the ancient city, there is the world's largest prayer wheel, which is 21 meters high and weighs 60 tons. Every day, local Tibetans and tourists go to pray for blessings and pray for more blessings from God in this sacred city of the sun and moon.
About seven or eight kilometers away from the ancient city of Dukezong, there is the Napahai Nature Reserve, where water and grass are intertwined, the sky is blue, and red manis are piled on the roadside, which looks particularly solemn.
Shangri-La is a wonderful name. Since it appeared in the famous novel "Lost Horizon" by British writer James Hilton in the 1930s, it has been well known and yearned for by the world. Now it has become a place of pilgrimage for travelers. . It seems that as long as you hear this name, your heart will tremble. Shangri-La, the paradise in your heart.
Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, cannot be considered a top-notch place among provincial capitals in the country in terms of population and economic level, but this northwest city has its own unique charm.
Ningxia is also known as Jiangnan. The Yellow River flows through here, and Helan Mountain stands tall in the sky and earth, protecting the people living here. The mountains are high, the water is long, and everything grows.
Yinchuan is very rich in tourism resources. The Helan Mountain National Forest Park and rock paintings not far from Yinchuan are very unique travel destinations. The rock paintings of Helan Mountain are even more famous around the world. They are masterpieces of the Qiangrong, Yueshi, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Tiele, Turks, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups who have been active in this area since ancient times. Most of the rock paintings are human heads. more than half. Followed by animal graphics such as cows, horses, donkeys, deer, birds, and wolves. The shape is rough and thick, unique.
The Xixia Royal Tombs are located 30 kilometers away from Yinchuan City. Here are the imperial mausoleums of the 11 Xixia emperors. More than a thousand years ago, Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia, proclaimed himself emperor in Xingqing Prefecture (today's Yinchuan City). Later, he recruited talents to establish his own script: Xixia script. He also created the splendid Xixia civilization, but the Xixia Kingdom only existed 189 years later, it was trampled by Genghis Khan's Mongolian iron hooves, Xixia fell, and Genghis Khan also died in this war.
In addition to these scenic spots with rich history, there is another scenic spot in Yinchuan that is also very popular: Zhenbeibao Western Film and Television City. This film and television city was founded in 1993 and has filmed many classic film and television works, such as "Journey to the West", "Red Sorghum", "Wrangler", and "New Dragon Inn" all completed most of their filming in the film and television city and Yinchuan. If you watch these movies carefully, you will definitely feel the strong northwest style from them.
When people talk about the best season to travel to Xinjiang, they always mention the saying "Golden Nine and Silver Ten", which means that September is the best season to travel to Xinjiang, followed by October. For people who need to go to work, we cannot travel in September. The moon allows for a long holiday, so the National Day in October has become the best time to travel to Xinjiang in recent years. Xinjiang has also rewarded tourists who go there one after another with its magnificent and open scenery.
As for the best travel destination in Xinjiang, I would first recommend Hemu. This small village located in Burqin, northern Xinjiang, has long been shortlisted for the most beautiful villages in China. In the golden autumn of October, the white birches around Hemu Village have begun to turn yellow, alternating with yellow and green, setting off the tranquil Hemu Village, with the blue Hemu River flowing quietly on one side. You can climb the hillside next to Hemu Village and overlook the entire Hemu Village and the grasslands in the distance. The feeling of relaxation and joy is really mesmerizing.
At night, you can also go to a tavern in the town to drink some beer, or go to a barbecue restaurant to eat a bunch of authentic mutton skewers. You can drink and drink with friends in two or three, and there is nothing more you could ask for.
Taxkorgan, known simply as Ta County in Xinjiang, is located in the border area and connected to Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Starting from Kashgar, on the way to Ta County, you can pass by Muztagh Peak, Baisha Lake, the uninhabited Gobi mountains, and peaceful villages that seem to exist at the end of the world. They are all beautiful scenery in the world.
After entering Ta County, you will find that this small county town is very well-built, with wide and clean streets and neat houses. Once you inquire, you will know that it was built with the aid of Shenzhen and has reached very high standards in all aspects of facilities.
There is a golden grass beach in Ta County. At dusk, the sun shines on the entire grassland. The snow-capped mountains in the distance are clearly visible, and the grass beneath your feet is golden. The blue sky, snow-capped mountains, grassland, and the white yurt not far away all form an excellent scenery. Xinjiang is so beautiful that no one who has been there has ever said anything negative about it.
Khunjerab National Gate is located 100 kilometers away from Ta County. Opposite the national gate is Pakistan. There are officers and soldiers stationed here all year round. The altitude is nearly 5,000 meters. The conditions are difficult, but still fearless. The Pamir Plateau stands at the end of heaven and earth, solemn and sacred.
A global traveler was once interviewed on a program. He said: If you ask me now which country has the most beautiful scenery, I will tell you without hesitation: China.
