Reverse travel in January and February, 7 unpopular cities

Dear ones👫, is it crowded to travel during the peak season? Why not take a reverse trip to these niche cities and experience different excitement! 📍Dandong • Featured attractions: The Broken Bridge on the Yalu River has witnessed the vicissitudes of history. Bringing your children here can give them a vivid lesson in patriotism📚. The Hushan Great Wall has a super beautiful snow scene ❄. Climb up and look far into the distance, and feel the magnificence of the northern scenery. • Food recommendations: Korean cold noodles, sweet and sour, delicious, chewy noodles🍜. There are also yellow clams, which have plump meat and are very delicious when steamed. • Small tips: The wind is strong by the river, please keep warm. When eating seafood, find a reliable and old restaurant to avoid being cheated 💣. 📍Wuzhou • Featured attractions: The Qilou City is full of Lingnan style. Walking through it, it feels like traveling back to the old times⏳. Baiyun Mountain overlooks the beautiful scenery of the whole city, and the air is fresh, which is suitable for a family walk and mountain climbing 🚶‍♀️🚶. • Food recommendations: Guilinggao is a must-eat. It is refreshing, smooth and slightly bitter. After adding honey, it is sweet but not greasy. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat🔥. The paper wrapped chicken is also good, the chicken is tender, juicy and full of fragrance. • Small tips: There are many specialty shops in Qilou City where you can buy some souvenirs🎁. Wear comfortable sneakers when going to Baiyun Mountain👟. 📍Tianshui • Featured attractions: The Maijishan Grottoes, with their exquisite Buddha statues and murals, are amazing, and have a strong artistic atmosphere, where children can broaden their horizons📖. The Fuxi Temple has a long history and its architecture is simple and elegant. • Food recommendations: Guagua, unique taste, spicy and satisfying🌶. There are also lard boxes with crispy outer skin and soft and fragrant filling inside. • Small tips: When visiting the grottoes, do not touch the Buddha statues and murals, and protect the cultural relics 🙅‍♀️. 📍Xichang • Featured attractions: The scenery of Qionghai Lake and mountains is also beautiful in winter, where you can go boating and feed seagulls. Luoji Mountain has a spectacular glacial lake. It is super comfortable to soak in the hot springs and relieve the fatigue of the journey🛀. • Food recommendations: The barbecue in the fire pot has rich ingredients and we enjoy the meal around the charcoal fire. The drunken shrimps are tender and melt in your mouth, but those with poor stomachs should be careful when eating them. • Small tips: Please prepare thick clothes in advance when going to Luoji Mountain as the temperature on the mountain is low❄. 📍Central defender • Featured attractions: The snow scenery in Shapotou Desert is unique. Sand sliding, camel riding and other desert entertainment activities are exciting and fun. Huanghe Suji is full of exotic atmosphere and is a great place to take photos📷. • Food recommendations: The hand-pulled lamb is tender and not smelly or greasy🥩. Selenium sand melon is sweet and juicy. Although it is not in season in winter, it is nice to have dried melon. • Small tips: When playing in the desert, take measures to prevent sun and sand, and protect electronic devices. 📍Haidong • Featured attractions: The surface of Qinghai Lake is frozen in winter, like a fairyland🧚‍♂️. The Ta'er Monastery has a profound religious and cultural heritage and magnificent architecture. Children can feel the power of faith🙏. • Food recommendations: Sweet mash, fermented highland barley, sweet and slightly intoxicating🍶. There is also yak yogurt, which is mellow, sweet and sour, and sprinkled with white sugar. • Small tips: In high altitude areas, please be careful to prevent altitude sickness and slow down your movements🚶‍♂️. 📍Chenzhou • Featured attractions: The morning mist in Dongjiang Lake is shrouded in fog, and fishermen are casting their nets. It is picturesque and beautiful for taking photos. The Danxia landform of Gaoyiling is unique, and children can see the wonders of nature. • Food recommendations: The fish noodles are spicy and the fish soup is rich. A bowl of it in the morning warms you up and satisfies you🥣. Linwu duck meat is firm, spicy and flavorful. • Small tips: Check the weather and best viewing spots in advance to see the Dongjiang Lake fog. My dears, these 7 unpopular cities have their own merits. Avoid the crowds in January and February and go to these places to enjoy a relaxing parent-child time!
