"The world is so big, I want to see it. This may sound like a cliché, but in the reverse travel trend, we find that there are more possibilities for new ways of traveling.
As a result, 9 niche cities have become the hearts of people who "know how to play", and they have already gone there in advance and discovered the unique charm of these cities.
Yunnan - Maitreya, a place of leisurely retirement.
The first stop on our reverse travel journey was Maitreya in Yunnan, a slow-paced city known as suitable for retirement.
The kaleidoscope of the east wind rhyme, the beautiful scenery of Taiping Lake Park, and the hot springs of Huquan Ecological Park make people feel like they are in a fairyland. The leisurely pace of life makes Maitreya the first choice for those who pursue tranquility and "can play".
Zhejiang-Jingning, behind the thick history.
Next, we head to Jingning, a small city in Lishui, which is relatively low-key in terms of tourism, but has a lot of historical attractions such as Yunzhong Dayu and Shisi Temple.
The original flavor here makes people feel as if they have traveled through thousands of years, and it has become a resort for those who are keen on history and culture.
Sichuan-Yibin, a place where the aroma of wine overflows.
Yibin, famous for its wine, is unknown in terms of tourism. There is the confluence of the magnificent Yangtze River, Minjiang River and Jinsha River, and is known as the first city of the Yangtze River.
The natural and cultural landscapes such as green mountains and clear waters, thousand-year-old temples, and ancient bridges make this small city a popular place for those who pursue the fragrance of wine and tranquility
Heilongjiang-Fuyuan, the beautiful natural scenery of the East Pole.
Fuyuan, located on the border of Heilongjiang and known as the East Pole, is one of the earliest places in China to see the sunrise. There are 10,000 acres of rice fields and beautiful natural scenery here, along the way are birch forests, Sanjiang Wetland Reserve, 10,000 acres of farmland, Black Blind Island and other scenic spots, which are very suitable for self-driving. Those who seek nature and tranquility have long since found their paradise here.
Hunan - Hongjiang, the ancient and peaceful ancient city of Qianyang.
Hongjiang City, known as Qianyang County in ancient times, has the ancient city of Qianyang, which is 900 years older than the ancient city of Phoenix. Tranquil and peaceful, full of a very strong sense of life. The ancient courtyards and ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties all make this small city exude the charm of history. Yuancheng Ancient Village is a good place to escape from the world, and those who pursue ancient culture and quiet life have already found satisfaction here.
Fujian-Zhangzhou, with both mountains and seas, history and food.
Zhangzhou is an underrated and unpopular tourist city, but it has the characteristics of mountains and seas, long history and rich food. Ancient Forest Temple, Lingtong Rock, Dongshan Island and other unique attractions make Zhangzhou not only suitable for tracing historical footprints, but also a paradise for food lovers. Whether it is to enjoy sunbathing on the beach, or to taste fast meals and idle tea, it is an excellent choice for people who "can play".
Jiangsu-Zhenjiang, a beautiful city beloved by Su Dongpo.
Zhenjiang, Su Dongpo's favorite city. Scenic spots such as the famous mountain Jinjiao Beigu, the famous temple Zhaoyin Crane Forest, and the thousand-year-old ferry port Xijindu all make the city full of cultural heritage.
Zhenjiang, as the vinegar capital, is enviably beautiful, and the legend of the White Lady flooding the golden mountain adds to the mystery of the city. Those who love literature and history have already found a source of inspiration here.
Guizhou - Lei Mountain, a quiet resort of birds and seedlings.
Jumping out of Jiangsu, we came to Leishan County in Guizhou, a place where almost no one would put it on their bucket list compared to popular destinations like Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.
The bird seedling village, which has a history of four or five hundred years, is built on the mountain, surrounded by terraced fields and forests, as if it is a gift from nature.
There is no commercial atmosphere here, only layers of stilted buildings, and those who yearn for tranquility and symbiosis with nature have long found a haven away from the world.
Inner Mongolia - Wuhai, the seaside in the desert.
Finally, we come to Wuhai in Inner Mongolia, an underrated city hidden in the vast desert. The water of Wuhai Lake is a direct flow introduced by the Yellow River, and the emerald water of the lake complements the desert.
The desert park's desert sea, sandmobiling, dead trees and trekking make this small town a great place for those who want to play the beauty of the desert.
Although Wuhai has an airport, it has relatively few routes, so the train from Yinchuan or Hohhot to Wuhai has become the choice of many "play" people.
In this reverse tourism trip, we have traveled through Yunnan, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Hunan, Fujian, Jiangsu, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, and walked through the slow pace of Maitreya, the history of Jingning, the aroma of wine in Yibin, the beautiful nature of Fuyuan, the ancient and peaceful Hongjiang, the mountain and sea food of Zhangzhou, the literary heritage of Zhenjiang, the bird and Miao village of Leishan, and the beauty of the desert of Wuhai.
These niche cities may not be well known to the public, but those who "can play" have long regarded them as their own *** and left their unique footprints.
