Avoid the crowds this Labor Day and visit these 4 niche cities with your bestie

For a Labor Day trip with your bestie, of course you want to avoid the crowds 👯♀️ and head to a niche city for an exclusive romantic getaway! These 4 hidden gems are fun and photogenic, so grab your bestie and go! Dongshan Island, Fujian: A healing island with romantic vibes 🌊 OMG! This island, which is the same as the one in the movie "The Left Ear," is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless 🌴! The colorful fishing village in Nanmen Bay is like an overturned palette 🎨, the fishbone sandbar appears and disappears with the tide, and there is also the tangerine sea sunset 🌅 on the double-sided sea. Every frame is perfect! Rent a small electric scooter with your bestie and ride around the island 🛵, overlook the entire island from Wengong Temple, go to Aojiao Village to be a fisherman for a day, and have a barbecue on Jinluan Bay Beach and listen to the waves 🌊 at night. The atmosphere is amazing! • Photo tips: The Nanmen Bay embankment 📸, the fishbone sandbar at low tide, and the double-sided sea reef area are all excellent spots! • Must-try foods: Little Daughter-in-Law Sweet Soup 🍧, Uncle Chen's Oyster Omelet 🦪, and Zhongyi Oyster Omelet. You can eat until you're stuffed for an average of 30 RMB! • Accommodation recommendation: Stay in a B&B in Tongling Town 🏠, which is within walking distance of all the attractions, and you can also visit the night market at night. Mangshi, Yunnan: A hidden gem with Southeast Asian flair 🏝️ You can experience Southeast Asia without going abroad! The Meng Huan Grand Golden Pagoda glitters in the sun ✨, and you can take fantastic photos in front of the Tree-Wrapped Pagoda 📷. The stunning sunset at the Silver Pagoda is divine! During the day, check out the Dai-style cafes ☕, and at night, visit the Starlight Night Market. Put on Dai costumes 👗 with your bestie, and then have a hand-grabbed rice and Burmese Mont Di. You won't have enough space for all the photos on your WeChat feed! • Must-do experiences: Experience ancient papermaking in a Dai village ✂️, and interact with the Dai Water Splashing Dance 💃 • Hidden gem stores: Rent a Dai costume for 30 RMB at the Dai Costume Store on Puti Street 👚, and the rice paddy cafe in Manghuang Village is super photogenic! • Transportation guide: Fly directly to Mangshi Airport ✈️, and it costs 8 RMB to take a taxi in the city, which is super convenient. Quzhou, Zhejiang: A foodie paradise with a vibrant atmosphere 🍜 Foodie besties, assemble! This low-key city is home to amazing food 🔥! In the morning, slurp down a bowl of Three Heads and One Palm (rabbit head, duck head, fish head, duck palm) that will make your taste buds sing. At noon, check out the popular Bagel Cake with Stinky Tofu, and at night, go to Shuiting Street Night Market to devour baked cakes and crystal cakes 🍡! During the day, you can also visit the Xianxia Secret Realm of Rotten Ke Mountain and the Yaowang Mountain to breathe in the fresh air 🌳. Eat your fill, take beautiful photos, and your happiness level will explode! • Food map: Zhu's Three Heads and One Palm 🐰, Immortal Chicken 🐔, and Zhan's Baked Cake. You can't go wrong with anything you order! • Photo spots: The night view of the ancient city wall of Shuitingmen 🏮, the popular Qujiang floating bridge, and Luming Park • Accommodation: Stay in a hotel in the city 🛏️, which is within walking distance of all the major food streets. Xinyang, Henan: An artistic and slow-paced life in the tea mountains 🍵 If you want to escape the hustle and bustle, come to the tea mountains of Xinyang to breathe in the fresh air! Stay in a tea garden B&B with your bestie 🏡, get up early to see the misty tea mountains ⛰️, experience tea picking and tea frying, and make your own exclusive tea bags 🍃! In the afternoon, take a boat trip on Nanwan Lake 🚢, and at night, go to Xiaonanmen Night Market to eat grilled fish and drink beer 🍻.
