My Annual Travel List: 6 Romantic Encounters in Stunning Dreamlike Places

Travel footprints connect six dreamlike corners, each hiding unique scenery and stories. 🎒✨ 📍First Stop: Wuliang Mountain, Dali The earliest fairyland of spring in China 🌸 Altitude: 2000-2500 meters Blooming period: Late November to early December Here, green tea and cherry blossoms perfectly intertwine, embodying the martial arts world depicted in Jin Yong’s novels! Although I missed the December bloom, this fairy-like charm has been saved on next year’s wish list~ Definitely coming to check in at this pink sea of cherry blossoms next spring! 📍Second Stop: Yala Snow Mountain, Ganzi A white crown at first sight 🏔️ Location: Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province Altitude: 5820 meters Since first encountering this crown-like snow mountain in early 2017, I’ve never forgotten it! This year, I made a special effort to check in from multiple angles and finally captured the perfect photo with the snow mountain by the river 🥰 The snow peak and its reflection complement each other beautifully, fulfilling a long-held wish~ 📍Third Stop: Moon Lake, Western Sichuan Stepping into a Studio Ghibli comic world 🌙 Location: Litang County, Sichuan Province Altitude: 3800 meters Accidentally discovered this highland gem! The milky blue lake paired with lush green grass, cattle and horses leisurely roaming, every snapshot is a healing masterpiece, so tranquil it feels like time slows down~ 🏞️ 📍Fourth Stop: Shenzhou Peninsula Lighthouse, Hainan The light of hope at the edge of the sea 🌊 Location: Shenzhou Peninsula, Wanning City, Hainan Province The best spot to check in on New Year’s Eve! The lighthouse not only lights the way for ships but also seems to guide life’s direction~ The sea breeze on your face, every photo taken has a fresh comic filter naturally! ✨ 📍Fifth Stop: Lonely Tree of Erhai Lake A summer green shade straight out of an animation 🌲 Location: Beside Haixi Langqiao, Dali City, Yunnan Province This tree hidden by the lake is simply my favorite! The dense branches and leaves create a cozy little silhouette, perfect for feeling the vibrant life in summer. Photos taken here instantly wow your social circle 📸 📍Final Stop: Sayram Lake, Xinjiang "The last tear of the Atlantic" 💧 Location: Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Altitude: 2071 meters Truly lives up to its name! The lake water shines bright blue, swans play, and the sunlight sparkles on the waves~ So dreamy you could watch for hours without getting tired! Highly recommend visiting in the afternoon to experience the golden shimmering lake surface ✨
