It’s an unpopular but distinctive tourist destination in China. If you’ve been to more than five of them, you’ll be considered a favorite.

There are many domestic tourist attractions, and many of them are well-known places. Not only are the scenery beautiful, but the people are also honest, and the media rarely report on them. Below I have compiled a few relatively niche tourist places. I don’t know. Have you been there?

1. Sailimu Lake

The pure and clear water of Sailimu Lake is known as "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean". It is about 2,400 meters above sea level. Please visit in summer. Be aware of strong UV rays. Starting from Yining in the far west of Xinjiang and heading northwest, the scenery along Guozigou is also good. It takes about an hour to drive there. The road conditions are very good and the whole journey is on the expressway. The color of the lake here is just as the poet Ai Qing said, it is sapphire color! There are no boats running on the entire lake, which truly ensures the source ecology of the lake's water quality. The lake water is very clear nearby, but as you get farther away, the lake starts to turn dreamlike blue. The entire scenic area is surrounding the Sailimu Lake rest room, which is relatively complete. There is not too much commercialization here, and there are not many people. New people in Yinning and surrounding towns take wedding photos of the lake here. It is very beautiful!

2. Gaoyiling

Gaoyiling Scenic Area is located at the junction of Qiaokou Town, Suxian District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province and Zixing City. It is an undeveloped Danxia Although the altitude is not high, many places are very steep. Most places have no steps or guardrails, and there are not many protective facilities. Only some places with extremely steep slopes have simple handrails and dimples dug into the ground to serve as steps. . The Danxia ridge formed by millions of years of wind and water erosion is obviously different from the green slopes of distant mountains. Over time, the water has washed away the mountains into rib-like interlocking fangs, which look like giant dinosaur bones from a distance. When people walk among them, they have to lament their own insignificance and the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

3. Ming'ao Rice Terraces

?Speaking of terraces, everyone is likely to think of Yuanyang Rice Terraces in Honghe Prefecture, Jiabang Rice Terraces in Guizhou, and Longsheng Rice Terraces in Guilin. etc. But not many people know about Ming'ao Rice Terraces in Yongjia, Zhejiang. In fact, Ming'ao Rice Terraces are the largest terraces in East China and are the terrace creation base of the Chinese Photographers Association. There are B&Bs in Zhengshan Village. The clouds and mist in the morning are very beautiful and worth waiting for. . The only drawback here is that there is very little bus traffic and the roads are narrow, making it more suitable for self-driving travel.

4. Bingzhongluo

Bingzhongluo, I think more than 90% of people have never heard of this name. Bingzhongluo Town is located in Dulong and Nu Autonomous County in Gongshan, Yunnan. The entire scenic area has a three-dimensional climate. You can enjoy wild flowers in spring, rivers in summer, pastoral walks in autumn, and snow scenery in winter. The first bay of the Nujiang River is located in the south of Bingzhongluo. It is formed because the Nujiang River is blocked by the hillside and makes a 270-degree bend. The first bay of Nujiang River is located near Ridan Village on the way to Bingzhongluo. Bingzhongluo Town is one of the best areas to view the Nujiang Grand Canyon. It sounds awesome, right?

5. Ili Valley

The Ili Valley is located in the northwest corner of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is one of the three largest lavender planting bases in the world. Every June, it becomes "China's "Provence", purple lavender will spread out in the river valley, and the whole city will be filled with a romantic atmosphere. From now on, you no longer need to travel thousands of miles abroad to take photos, you can do it all right here. In addition to lavender, there are also vast grasslands, lush cloud mountains, white snow-capped mountains on the edge of the grasslands, and Kazakhs galloping on the grasslands.

6. Hongyanding

Hongyanding is located in Luding County, with an altitude of 3,400 meters. It is the watershed of Qingyi River and Dadu River. The total area of ??the scenic spot is 1,600 square kilometers. It has Bust, precipitous, artifact, Shaoxiu, quiet primitive style and unique Tibetan-Chinese cultural minced meat historical connotation. It is located at the junction of the three counties of Luding, Tianquan and Yingjing. The red rock of Erlang Mountain is topped by Niubei Mountain and Gongga The mountains look like horns, facing each other from afar. It is an excellent place for viewing and photography enthusiasts. It is closer to Gonggar, and it only takes about 2.5 hours on foot!!!

7. Yushan Island

Yushan Island is located in Ningde, Fujian. It is a coastal city and has been rated as It is one of the top ten beautiful islands in China, but few people go there. So far, it has not been over-exploited and has maintained its original ecology, so the name may sound a bit strange. The sea and sky you look out from the island are blue.

8. Seda

Seda County is a county under the jurisdiction of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. It is located in the northeast of Garze Prefecture. The main reason to go to Seda is to visit the Buddhist Academy—— The Wuming Buddhist Academy of Larung Gar is located at an altitude of 4,000 meters+. The mountains here are towering, and densely packed red huts cover the hillsides on all sides. You can’t see the end at a glance. The sound of chanting is everywhere, and the air is full of The smell of sandalwood permeates the air, and looking at the golden-roofed sutra hall and the blue sky in front of you is extremely shocking!

9. Aershan Tianchi

Aershan Forest Park is located in the vast Greater Khingan Mountains and the sea. In this natural oxygen bar, there are Tianchi, ice-free river, stone pond forest, etc. Wonderful natural landscape. Known as the "third largest Tianchi in China", it is 1332.3 meters above sea level and has 484 steps. Different from Changbai Mountain Tianchi and Tianshan Tianchi, Aershan Tianchi has neither exit nor entrance.

If you look at Tianchi from the sky, Tianchi is like a crystal sapphire, inlaid on the top of the majestic peaks. However, the depth of Tianchi has always been a mystery. Some people tied a rope to a heavy hammer and even lowered it to more than 300 meters without reaching the bottom.

10. Dongchuan Red Land

When everyone mentions Yunnan, they think of Lijiang and Dali. However, many people may not have heard of Red Land. It is Dongchuan, Yunnan. The red soil developed under high temperature and heavy rain makes this soil contain more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity, and heavy soil texture. The transportation here is not that developed, but it is not far from Kunming, about 250 kilometers by car. The main attractions are between 1800-2600 altitudes, so it is also a paradise in Yunnan.
