A XI HAI XIAN XIAO CHAO

The seafood is very fresh and tastes very good. It's great

1. Zhangzhou, Fujian – A Southern Fujian Paradise of Mountains and Seas Recommendation: Separated from Xiamen by a river, this tranquil paradise feels like a paradise! This is the birthplace of Southern Fujian culture, boasting ancient red-brick houses, hidden tulou (earthen buildings), and azure islands. Ctrip data shows that bookings doubled year-on-year during the National Day holiday, yet the tourist density is only one-third of Xiamen's, offering exceptional value for money. Recommended Attractions: 🏯 Nanjing Tulou: Stroll through the Huaiyuan Tower, reminiscent of the one in "Big Fish and Begonia," and experience the vibrant atmosphere of the tulou. 🌅 Dongshan Island: Ride an electric scooter along the Sufeng Mountain Ring Road and watch the sunset from the mirror-like beach of Jinluan Bay. 🍜 Zhangzhou Old Town: Enjoy oyster omelets and four-fruit soup, and stroll the century-old streets. Prices are comparable to those of ten years ago. Tips: Take the high-speed rail directly to Zhangzhou Station, or fly to Xiamen and take a one-hour bus ride. It's recommended to stay overnight in the tulou to avoid the peak tour group season. 2. Lishui, Zhejiang – Jiangnan's Last Secret Recommendation: Referred to as "Jiangnan's Secret Land" by China National Geographic, Lishui boasts a vibrant landscape of terraced fields, ancient villages, mist, and the Oujiang River, creating a breathtaking landscape. Its mountainous terrain discourages group travelers, and Ctrip's "Reverse Tour" feature during the National Day holiday is highly recommended, perfect for self-drive travelers and photographers. Recommended Attractions: 🌾 Yunhe Rice Terraces: Golden rice fields during National Day, and waking up in the morning to witness the shrouded mist create a fairyland-like scene. 🖼️ Ancient Weir Painting Village: 1500-year-old Tongji Weir and the sails of the Oujiang River, perfect for sketching and photographing. 🏡 Songyang Ancient Village: Enjoy a cup of tea beneath the persimmon trees amidst the yellow mud-walled dwellings of Yangjiatang Village in autumn. Tips: Renting a car is highly recommended, as the light is best for photographing in the morning and evening. Booking homestays in the ancient village is essential. 3. Datong, Shanxi – The Magnificent Autumn Scenery of the Ancient Capital on the Great Wall Recommendation: A two-hour high-speed rail ride from Beijing, but far less popular than Xi'an! Visiting top national treasures like the Yungang Grottoes and the Hanging Temple is a more comfortable experience, with pleasantly cool autumn weather. It's a frequent visitor to Ctrip's "Less Crowded, High-Value Destinations" list. Recommendation: 🗿 Yungang Grottoes: Avoid the crowds of Longmen Grottoes and admire the stunning details of the Great Buddha of the Northern Wei Dynasty. ⛰️ Hanging Temple: Climb the "dangerous tower" and experience this architectural marvel built on a cliff. 🌄 Hengshan: Enjoy the autumn scenery of the northern frontier on foot, where crimson leaves contrast with the ancient temple. Tips: Datong experiences significant temperature swings between day and night, so bring a windproof jacket. Recommended for a day trip to the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. 4. Tengchong, Yunnan – Hot Springs and Ginkgo Trees in the First City on the Extreme Frontier Recommendation: Compared to Dali and Lijiang, this place is much less touristy! By the end of October, Ginkgo Village will transform into a golden fairytale, while Remi Hot Springs will dispel the autumn chill. Ctrip's travel guide calls it a "five-star National Day cleanliness index." Recommended attractions: 🍂 Gudong Ginkgo Village: Thousands of ginkgo trees flutter in the autumn leaves, perfect for capturing artistic masterpieces. ♨️ Remi Hot Springs: Soak in the natural geothermal springs and try hot spring eggs. 📚 Heshun Ancient Town: Visit the library, walk the bluestone pavement, and experience the culture of this hometown of overseas Chinese. Tip: While the ginkgo trees may not be fully yellow during National Day, the experience will be less crowded; hot spring hotels recommend opting for meal-inclusive packages. 5. Jiangmen, Guangdong—An Overseas Chinese Village Beyond the "Kuang" (above) Recommended: Despite its popularity thanks to the film "Kuang," Kaiping's scattered watchtowers are never crowded! A World Cultural Heritage site and a Nanyang-style ancient town, Ctrip data shows steady booking growth during National Day, but visitors are dispersed. Recommended Attractions: 🏰 Kaiping Diaolou: Cycle through the Zili Village Diaolou complex and explore the filming locations of "Let the Bullets Fly." 🌆 Chikan Ancient Town: Newly restored retro streets, perfect for capturing Southeast Asian-style photos. 🏝️ Shangxiachuan Island: A quieter island than Zhuhai, enjoy freshly landed seafood. Tips: The Diaolou area is ideal for self-driving; try local delicacies like eel rice and tangerine peel duck. 6. Zhangye, Gansu—Colorful Danxia Landforms 80% Quieter than Dunhuang Recommendation: The autumn colors are in full bloom during National Day, and the Danxia landforms are even more vibrant! With only one-fifth the number of visitors as in Dunhuang, it's easy to capture stunning, crowd-free photos. Ctrip's "Reverse Tour" list praises Zhangye as "affordable, with hotels starting at 150 yuan." Recommended Attractions: 🌈 Zhangye Danxia Geopark: Catch the morning sunrise at 7 AM before the tour groups to see the colorful mountains gilded by the sun. 🐫 Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon: Hike and ride a camel to watch the sunset over the Gobi Desert. 🍜 Zhangye Ancient City: Enjoy beef rice and a nighttime tour of the lantern-lit city walls. Tips: The temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, so bring a windbreaker. This tour can be combined with a trip to Jiayu Valley. 7. Ganzhou, Jiangxi – A Living Fireworks of the Song Dynasty Recommendation: While less impressive than Nanchang and Jingdezhen, this is a "living specimen of an ancient Song Dynasty city"! With its bluestone pavements, tea-picking operas, and Hakka cuisine, it's featured on Ctrip's "Immersive Song Culture Experience" list during the National Day holiday. Recommended Attractions: 🧱 Song Dynasty City Wall: Walk the city wall in the morning to admire the Ganjiang River's morning mist and overlook the Eight-Boundary Terrace. 🎭 Yugutai: Listen to tea-picking opera in southern Jiangxi and experience the poetic beauty of "Green Mountains Can't Cover It Up." 🍶 Zaoerxiang: Enjoy fried noodles with rice wine in the evening, and soak in the hustle and bustle of life under the old lanterns. Tips: The ancient city's B&Bs offer excellent value; you can also experience Hakka lei cha making. 8. Rushan, Weihai, Shandong - Enjoy the fun of fishing on the entire beach Recommended: So much quieter than Qingdao and Yantai! During the National Day holiday, enjoy delicious seafood, go fishing, travel around the island, and experience "seafood freedom." Ctrip users commented, "Eat 'n' eat for just 50 yuan per person." Recommended Attractions: 🦀 Rushan Silver Beach: Enjoy early morning clams and shellfishing. 🚡 Dayushan Resort: Take the cable car to see the mountains and sea meet, and enjoy a picnic on the lawn. 🦐 Seafood Market: Pick live shrimp and crabs, and have them processed by local shops. They're finger-licking fresh. Tips: Take the high-speed rail to Weihai Station and transfer to a bus for an hour; enjoy the ocean view from your beachfront homestay window. #The most asked-about place on WeChat Moments #Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day travel check-ins #Where to go for National Day #Have fun with friends #Ancient towns and villages worth visiting

Family! We've found a treasure! Hidden away in Huizhou, Guangdong, lies a pristine "glass sea" island—Yanzhou Island! White sand beaches, windmill hills, mangroves, flocks of egrets... every snap is a cinematic masterpiece! My bestie exclaimed, "Little Red Book didn't lie!" (Includes super detailed photo spots and a guide to avoid pitfalls 👇) ------ 📍 Transportation Guide 🚗 Self-drive recommended | About 2-3 hours from Guangzhou/Shenzhen 📍 Navigate to "Huidong Yanzhou Island" and park your car in the free parking lot at the pier. 🛥️ Access the island by boat (10-20 yuan per person) or by taking the free Yanzhou Bridge route. 💡 Tip: The roads on the island are narrow, so renting an electric scooter is more convenient (30 yuan/hour). Enjoy the ocean breeze! ------ 📸Must-See Attractions 1️⃣ Baisha Village Tidal Flats 👉🏻The mirror-like beach is absolutely stunning at low tide! Take stunning silhouette shots at sunset, and the sky will be at its peak (wear a light-colored long skirt for even better photos!) 2️⃣ Mangrove Wetland Park 👉🏻Spectacular at dawn! Flocks of egrets take flight (best birdwatching time is 5:00-6:30 AM, bring a telephoto lens!) 3️⃣ Guanyin Mountain Windmills 👉🏻Drive directly to the summit! Giant windmills and 360° ocean views make this a perfect spot for camping and stargazing (remember to bring a jacket!) 4️⃣ Hei Pai Cape Geopark 👉🏻 Volcanic reefs and emerald waves create stunning Icelandic-style photos even on cloudy days (wear non-slip shoes!) ------ 🦞 Food Recommendations ▪️ Wan Chai Seafood Market: Freshly caught and cooked right at the dock! Mantis shrimp, flower crab, and sea urchin fried rice are all you can eat for 80 yuan per person. ▪️ Local specialties: Oven-baked chicken, cuttlefish cakes, and seaweed fried rice. 💣 Avoid: Restaurants near the scenic area are expensive! I recommend going to the market and picking out the items yourself, then having them prepared by a shop. ------ 🏡 Accommodation Guide ✅ Recommended B&Bs in Baisha Village or Wanzai Village (sea views from the window!) 👉 "Island Time B&B" costs over 150 per person, and the host can charter a boat for outings. ❌ Not recommended for staying in town (far from attractions, lacks atmosphere). ------ 💡 Practical Tips ① Always check the weather! The water is crystal clear on clear days; cloudy days are even better. ② Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! (The UV rays at the beach are incredibly strong.) ③ Bring cash! Some vendors on the island only accept cash. ④ Weekends can be a bit crowded, so it's recommended to visit on weekdays (the beach is completely private and enjoyable). ------ 📌 Itinerary Suggestions Day 1: Arrive at noon → Go to the beach at Baisha Village → Take sunset photos → Enjoy a seafood feast Day 2: Birdwatching in the mangroves → Hike at Fengche Mountain → Take photos of the reefs at Heipai Cape → Return ------ 🙌🏻 "Final shoutout" Yanzhou Island is truly off-the-beaten-path and a truly relaxing experience! Perfect for those who love to escape the city and take photos! Tag your travel companions and let's go! ✨ #Most-asked-about-places #CityHumanitiesNotes #NicheDiscovery #HuizhouTravel #HuizhouYanzhouIsland
