Qingdao: Red Tiles, Green Trees, Blue Sea and Sky 📍Activities: During the day, visit Zhanqiao Pier, Badaguan Scenic Area, and May Fourth Square to experience the blend of history and modernity; head to Xiaomai Island Park in the evening for a stunning sunset; at night, enjoy shopping and eating at Taidong Walking Street. 🍱Food: Spicy stir-fried clams, mackerel dumplings, and bagged Qingdao beer—seafood paired with beer is perfect! 🏠Accommodation: Stay in the Shinan District, close to the seaside and attractions for convenient travel, such as Ji Hotel. Yili: The Last Tear of the Atlantic 📍Activities: Experience the blue of Sayram Lake, the purple of Huocheng lavender fields, and the green of Kalajun Grassland—each view is wallpaper-worthy; drive the Duku Highway to experience "four seasons in one day." 🍱Food: Baked buns, hand-pulled meat, and big plate chicken—enjoy Xinjiang cuisine until you're stuffed. 🏠Accommodation: Choose business hotels in Yining city center, or stay in distinctive homestays near scenic spots to experience local culture. Xiamen: A Paradise for Artistic Souls 📍Activities: Explore the international architecture of Gulangyu Island, the youthful atmosphere of Xiamen University, the coastal scenery of the Ring Road, and the artistic shops in Shapowei—all worth exploring slowly. 🍱Food: Satay noodles, earth worm jelly, and meat zongzi—a paradise for snack lovers. 🏠Accommodation: Stay near Zhongshan Road for convenient transportation; for romantic ocean views, choose a seaside homestay in Zengcuoan. Guilin: The Most Beautiful Mountains and Waters Under Heaven 📍Activities: Take a bamboo raft down the Li River to see the scenery from the 20 yuan bill; visit the Longji Rice Terraces to appreciate the curves of the earth; stroll through West Street in Yangshuo at night to experience the slow life. 🍱Food: Guilin rice noodles, beer fish, and Lipu taro pork—every bite is authentic Guangxi flavor. 🏠Accommodation: In Guilin city, choose hotels near the Two Rivers and Four Lakes for convenient night tours; in Yangshuo, stay at characteristic inns. Dunhuang: The Dazzling Pearl in the Desert 📍Activities: Appreciate thousand-year-old mural art at Mogao Caves, ride camels to watch the sunset at Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring, then experience the lively Dunhuang Night Market. 🍱Food: Donkey meat yellow noodles, lamb meat pie, and apricot skin water—don't miss these Northwestern specialties. 🏠Accommodation: Stay in the city center for convenient transportation and dining, such as Dunhuang Villa.
