The deliciousness and affordability of Zibo barbecue, the intentions of Zibo ** and the enthusiasm of Zibo citizens all make tourists feel that "here is different". When the tide goes down, looking back at the explosion of Zibo, we can clearly see the most essential desire of young people for travel - to go to places that are not regarded as tourists, and to be a person without labels.
The fireworks in the market are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals.

In normal times, we play the role of conscientious workers in a pretended system in exchange for salary and time off; Squeeze out the holidays, take out your savings, and go to another elaborate system to play the role of tourists and consumers. For such tourism, young people are finally getting tired of it.
In this way, Zibo, which has a license plate of Lu C, was "rediscovered" by tourists. Behind Zibo, there are still a large number of C-brand cities worth exploring.
Zibo is located at the junction of the Lubei Plain and the Luzhong Mountains.
It is long and narrow from north to south, and has five districts and three counties under its jurisdiction
What is a C city.
The advantage of a C-brand city is that it is often not too big, and it will not be like a metropolis to build a thousand cities, pay a high price of ** still eat prefabricated dishes, and live in a hotel without windows; It's not too small to make the journey tedious. These cities are the hometowns of countless people who live seriously, and instead of doing business exclusively for tourists like the popular tourist destinations, they have become "Potemkin villages" specially built for tourists.
The C-brand cities of the provinces and regions are often just right, they are often established earlier, and they are the places where the economy, resources, population, and culture of the provinces and regions occupy advantages, and there are too many "treasures" worth excavating.
Colorful part of the C-brand city
In the C-brand city, you can understand why China, see unforgettable scenery, and experience the fireworks in the world. When a young man with "a little idea" encounters a C-brand city with "a little something", it becomes an inevitability for the latter to move towards the C position. By visiting China's C-plate cities, we will see a more three-dimensional China.
Why China. The Luo River passes through the Central Plains, joins the Yellow River, and alluvializes out of the Heluo region of Zhaizi China. From the ruins of Erlitou, which represented the first wide-area royal state in East Asia, to the ruins of Yanshi**, the ruins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then to the ruins of Luoyang City in the Han and Wei dynasties, and the ruins of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang, Yu c, condensed the history of Chinese civilization from the beginning of civilization to its peak, and witnessed how many rises and falls.
The topography of Luoyang gradually eases from southwest to northeast.
It has jurisdiction over 7 districts and 7 counties
There is no shortage of cultural relics in Luoyang, the "museum of the third-tier city" hides the bronze tripod unearthed from the Erlitou ruins, the pile of cars and horses buried under the traffic turntable, and even the ginger layer of the mountain is jokingly called the zombie layer - the calcium carbonate in the dense ginger stone will not come from the bones of the princess of which dynasty?
Luoyang is not just a city of museums in the past, it is a history in the process. After many dynasties, it was finally built under the Longmen Grottoes. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the inscription wall poem left by the underground party "Knowing the vicissitudes of hegemony from afar, the tragedy and wisdom of the Chinese drama have not disappeared." ”
Longmen Grottoes, the highest peak of ancient Chinese stone carving art.

Walking through the streets and alleys of the core area of Luoyang, you will see the huge murals on the square that praise industrialization, the chimneys of the tractor factories built with Soviet assistance, the Khrushchev Building, and the antique buildings that reconstruct the imaginary Tang Dynasty atmosphere, the snack street in the shape of the city gate, and the fountain square in the shape of "Yipin". History is still happening in Luoyang, and even some kind of confrontation has formed.
Ancient and modern, poetry and distance, here is the ancient capital of Luoyang.

The outside world's evaluation of Luoyang's food is slightly controversial, such as the Luoyang water seat, which is quite challenging for foreign tourists. In fact, Luoyang cuisine not only has a traditional side, but also a constantly innovative side. For example, it is rarely recommended by food accounts, but it is all over the streets and alleys. First eat the lamb chops in the form of a dry pot, and then add water to cook to make a hot pot. The brain hole is big, the road is very wild, and the taste is very good.
One of the representative dishes of Luoyang water seat: peony swallow vegetables.

Fujian c Quanzhou represents the often overlooked history of the Chinese riding the wind and waves. It is one of the starting points of the Maritime Silk Road and an international hub in the Song and Yuan dynasties. The change of dynasties and the war make the status of Quanzhou no longer in the past, standing next to the main channel of Quanzhou Bay, the navigation tower Liusheng Pagoda and the production of Dehua ancient kiln all tell the grand scene of the year.
The terrain of Quanzhou is rugged and mountainous.
It has jurisdiction over 5 counties, 4 districts and 3 cities
Trade exchanges bring about population flow and cultural integration, making Quanzhou incarnate a "museum of world religions", from the Islamic Qingjing Temple, to the decoration of the Hindu style of Buddhism temple Kaiyuan Temple, to carry the local beliefs of the Zhenwu Temple, Tianhou Temple, and even Manichaeism, Hinduism, ancient ** Nestori sect can find traces in Quanzhou.

I don't want knowledge to get into my head, I just want to blow the sea breeze and let go of it, Quanzhou is also a good choice. There are not only harbors, beaches, but also treasure villages such as Pupu Village. The oyster shell house built with oyster shells and the hairpin flower around the head of the fisherwoman are worth seeing and experiencing.
Come to the beach and feel the slow life.

If you are really too lazy to move, you can also look for taste in the red brick houses and arcades in Licheng District. Start the day with noodle batter and fried vinegared pork, look for kumquat candy, mochi, Jihong cake, bowl cake and other the most traditional Hokkien desserts, and if you are brave, you can also try to challenge the bamboo shoot jelly and feel the freshness that explodes in your mouth.
The south of Tibetan C Mountain is the birthplace of Tibetan culture, where there is the oldest palace Yongbrakang that has survived to this day, and Samye Monastery, an early Tibetan Buddhist temple. It was from here that the Tibetan Zanpu Songtsen Gampo set out and moved the capital to Lhasa, leading the Tibetan Dynasty into its heyday. Shannan is not far from Lhasa, plus a stop, you can experience a more three-dimensional Tibetan culture.

Unforgettable scenery.
For young people, Guilin is a familiar and unfamiliar place. On the one hand, it is overshared, and when you think of Guilin, you will think of the karst caves lit up with colorful lights and the landscape of the Li River printed on the back of the 20 yuan; On the one hand, "fame at a young age" prevents the public from understanding the real it.
Guilin is famous for its landscapes.
It has jurisdiction over 10 counties, 6 districts and 1 city
The beauty of Guilin's landscape is not limited to the banks of the Li River, it can be expressed as an abrupt solitary peak in the city; It is represented by terraces on the ridge. Guilin is not the beautiful and desolate far away as you think, it has been a Han settlement for hundreds of years, and there has always been a tradition of farming and reading heirlooms.
Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world.

The Qing Dynasty had 4 champions in 70 years, the number of which was comparable to the heyday of literary style in Wuxi, Songjiang Mansion and other places in Jiangsu Province during the same period. Whether it is the Gongcheng Confucian Temple, Xiuren Confucian Temple, which are scattered in various counties, or the Guilin Confucian Temple, which has been transformed into a middle school, they are all imprints left by that period of history.
In addition to the beautiful mountains, there is no shortage of sea in C-brand cities, and Qinhuangdao is the earliest developed beach in China, and it is also the sea in the hearts of generations of northern Chinese people.
The summer resort of Qinhuangdao is Ji C
It has jurisdiction over 4 districts and 3 counties
The length of the coastline of Chinese mainland is as long as 180,000 kilometers, but the delta coast, silty coast, mountainous and hilly coast and biomass coast account for a relatively high proportion, and when it comes to the sea, people think of sandy coasts but not much. The short and rapid rivers such as Beidaihe and Yanghe wash the fine and soft sand particles for the Qinhuangdao seashore, and under the comprehensive action of the ocean, they form an almost uninterrupted beach from Beidaihe to Nandaihe to Changli.
Soft and comfortable Qinhuangdao beach.

At the same time, the waves in Qinhuangdao are also quieter. In the Qinhuangdao area of Hebei Province, the tidal current speed is only 30-40 centimeters per second, the Cangzhou sea area can reach 70-80 centimeter seconds, and the Caofeidian sea area, which has the largest current speed, can reach 150 centimeters per second. The branch of the Kuroshio Warm Current enters the Bohai Sea and becomes the Bohai Sea Warm Current, making Qinhuangdao an ice-free port, and also making the seashore here full of buffs of soft sand, flat tides and plumbing.
Not to mention the Shanhaiguan Pass, a famous spot that is entangled in too many historical opportunities and old feuds. There are fresh and sweet seafood that grows slowly in the Bohai Sea and accumulates more umami substances. From the missionary villa area, to the sanatorium of New China, to the coast of the young people, Qinhuangdao has always been the top of the northern Chinese bathing area.

Fireworks on earth. In addition to the rich history and unforgettable scenery, the C-brand city is not short of fireworks. Get rid of the oppressive feeling brought by the glass curtain wall office building, walk in the streets and alleys of childhood taste, simple and casual, eat and drink, but it is the biggest unexpected joy in travel.
Sichuan C excavated salt wells from Gong to the Eastern Han Dynasty at the latest, and since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, it has become an important salt producing area. The salt merchants who gathered in pursuit of fragrant, spicy, and fresh flavors made the chefs roll up the novelty of the ingredients, so that they gradually developed in the direction of weird styles. Combining salt cuisine with local banquet cuisine, after development and abandonment, Zigong cuisine has become an important part of Sichuan cuisine. The boiled beef and cold rabbit we are familiar with come from Zigong.
The administrative division of Sichuan C Zigong is long and narrow.
It has jurisdiction over 4 districts and 2 counties
The dominance of Sichuan cuisine in Zigong City.
It is inseparable from its own humid and foggy climatic characteristics.

Strange recipes such as pig blood bubbles have disappeared, but the characteristics of Zigong cuisine that make good use of niche ingredients such as rabbit, frog and eel have been retained, and the taste characteristics of fragrant, spicy and fresh have even defined the appearance of Sichuan cuisine in many people's hearts. When you see Chengdu people driving 100 kilometers from Gong to eat bean curd and rabbit meat, you will understand what kind of Sichuan cuisine lover's paradise this is.

Black C Mudanjiang, Ji C Siping, and Liao C Anshan also have their own characteristics
