Suitable places for graduation travel-recommendation of scenic spots

Graduation season is coming. Have you decided where to travel this summer? At present, the popular tourist attractions in China in summer are as follows. Although the summer vacation is not necessarily more than the May Day holiday, there are many people in the summer tourist season.

Sichuan and Chongqing

Come on, hot life

Chengdu, Chongqing, Leshan, Xichang, etc

Travel time: 6 ~ 18 days

As the old saying goes, "Never enter Sichuan", it never seems to stop young people from exploring Sichuan and Chongqing. Although the pace here is really slow, in the eyes of travelers, Sichuan and Chongqing represent hot and unrestrained red oil hot pot, magnificent mountains and rivers and lively and choking street fireworks.

All this makes people eager to move, and can't wait to devote themselves to this bloody journey that makes youth more boiling.

The continuous Sichuan-Tibet highway runs through the most magnificent mountains and rivers in China. Although "it is difficult to get through the Shu Road" has become history, it is still full of challenges to reach the most beautiful scenery.

When crossing the Xiling Snow Mountain, start from the peak of Siguniang Mountain and meet the spiritual snow mountain; When you stand under the snowline of Gongga Mountain, Shenguai Mountain and Yading Mountain, watch the sunset set the snow-white snow peaks in Phnom Penh; When you were in Jiuzhaigou and Lianbaoye, were you amazed at this fairyland on earth? Your graduation trip is destined to be an unforgettable trip.

Equally exciting is eating. Sichuan cuisine and hot pot can cause synaesthesia just by reading the words-red oil is rolling in front of your eyes, your nose is captured by the smell of pepper, and the tip of your tongue is already a hemp, spicy and spicy carnival.

Chengdu's mellow and classic Sichuan cuisine, Chongqing's spicy and warm old hot pot and Jianghu cuisine have long been famous all over the world. Anyone who really knows how to eat knows that it is necessary to go on a pilgrimage to a gourmet destination, such as eating snacks in Leshan, eating barbecue in Xichang, eating rabbit pickles in Zigong and looking for the best fish in Jiangcheng, such as Yibin, Luzhou and Wanzhou. Sichuan-Chongqing diet is such a vigorous performance art.

When you are tired of watching and eating delicious food, there are mysterious and splendid cultural wonders waiting for you to explore.

You can worship the "mysterious Buddha" in Dazu and Leshan, ask questions in Emei Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain, and go to Seda and Yaqing Temple in the bitter cold plateau to see the world chosen by contemporary practitioners.

Don't forget to visit the rock-breaking Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites and ask the truth about those mysterious civilizations.

Exclusive tips

What if you can't eat spicy food? First, you can make it clear to the store. In addition, most dishes are named milk soup, clear soup, three delicacies, sweet and sour, fragrant grain, sauce, stew, hibiscus, crispy skin, bean dregs, steamed and so on. Not spicy. In noodle restaurants or bean jelly stalls, "white flavor" usually refers to fresh soup, as opposed to "red flavor". Don't forget to declare "no sea pepper".

Theme activities

Soak in the old teahouse and "put on a dragon gate array"

Chengdu heming teahouse

Under the buttonwood is an endless bamboo chair with a low table. People drink a bowl of tea, chat with the sky and the sky, have refreshments, snacks and folk art performances, and even pull out their ears-this daily life has been staged for nearly a hundred years. Tea is not expensive. Tea drinkers don't mean tea, but "putting on a dragon gate array" is the essence.

Penglao tea house

Every corner looks like a focal plane and is called the "living fossil" of the old Chengdu teahouse. It has a history of hundreds of years, and it still maintains an ancient appearance, with a wooden structure of blue bricks and gray tiles, and old tea drinkers smoking pipes. The story is endless. Every morning from 7: 00 to 10 is the busiest and the best time for light and shadow.

Chongqing communications tea house

The location of the crazy stone. Dim lights, mottled brick walls, creaking tables and chairs of the Eight Immortals, big teapots and kettles that only exist in childhood memories? Grandfathers are still leisurely "snapping" arches and generals in front of your curiosity and surprise. For five dollars, you can drink a bowl of tea all afternoon.

Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts

The significance of Sichuan beauty in Chongqing to travelers has already surpassed the general campus. The temperament of the new and old campuses is very different. The old houses in Huangjueping old campus are covered with avant-garde graffiti, and various styles of sculptures and installation art can be seen everywhere on campus. The strong visual impact has continued to the main street of Huangjueping, where the school is located-the external walls of buildings on both sides of the street are covered with large pieces of graffiti. What kind of soil can breed such free expression?

The new campus in Huxi gives people a feeling of being in a trance in the countryside and fields. The campus in the fields is as vibrant as an ever-growing work of art. The appearance of Luo Zhongli Art Museum shows that it is an art school. This building with rich modern style is built by huge building blocks, and the facade is all inlaid with colorful mosaics, creating colorful and dazzling abstract paintings, which is a work of art in itself.

The scene of the struggle between civilization and nature on the Silk Road (domestic section)

Xi, Lanzhou, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Turpan and Urumqi.

Travel time: 10 ~ 15 days.

For thousands of years, the Silk Road has connected the great civilizations of the East and the West. Diplomats, explorers, monks and businessmen who walked on this road shaped the course of world history in the desert oasis.

You will go west under the escort of Qilian Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Tianshan Mountain. The camel bell has dissipated, but the long wind blowing through Qilian and Tarim is eternal. We are all passers-by while walking.

Buying a Chinese hamburger in the morning market in xi 'an, and then squeezing into Shaanxi History Museum or Terracotta Warriors with the crowd, is almost the travel rhythm of everyone who comes to Xi 'an.

Besides, there are large and empty sites, which take you back to the most open and inclusive golden age in China history. The Daming Palace, Wild Goose Pagoda and Leyuan Scenic Area in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is only the remote Mount Zhongnan, are immersed in the chanting of countless poets.

The scenery along the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway is excellent. In Lanzhou, which was nurtured by the Yellow River, I made up my strength with a bowl of beef noodles, and then entered the Hexi Corridor where history accumulated.

Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang were the four Hexi towns that the Han Empire was committed to operating. For two thousand years, it has been the only way for the Central Plains to reach the Western Regions.

You can find the westbound road signs followed by Zhang Qian and Xuanzang with your traveling companions, and you can also get a glimpse of the historical scars left by Stein and pelliot.

In the Mogao Grottoes, spend at least a whole day immersed in the magnificent caves and imagine how believers used a candle to draw a picture of their belief in the world thousands of years ago.

Xinjiang has opened up a broader situation. The scorching sun that shines on Turpan never stops, and only Karez can help you "cover the sky" for a short time.

Learn to bargain in the Grand Bazaar in Urumqi, and then plunge into the slightly scary mummy exhibition hall of Xinjiang Museum to see the residents of this land for generations.

Tianshan Mountain will accompany you all the way to the west. After picking fragrant pears in Korla and apples in Aksu, you will have a smoky barbecue on the streets of Kashgar. More ancient cities are hidden in the desert. In Beiting, Gaochang or Qiuci, you can step into historical secrets sealed by yellow sand and time.

Exclusive tips

The experience of visiting the Mogao Grottoes in the off-season (from the beginning of February to the end of March) is better. Not only is the ticket half price, but the number of ordinary caves you can visit has also increased by half. The team may be understaffed, and the atmosphere of explanation is better. The scenic Duku Highway is only open to traffic from June to September. During this period, if the rainstorm causes mudslides and landslides, the highway will be interrupted. Drivers had better call the road condition consultation number (0992-3353000) first. Non-drivers can rent a car from Dushanzi or Kuqa (1500 ~ 2,000 yuan/car).

Theme activities

Crossing Duku Highway

Duku Highway starts from Dushanzi in the north and reaches Kuche in the south, crossing the vast Tianshan Mountains and four Daban Mountains with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. Along the way, there are unique mud volcanoes, rich Bayinbuluke and Nalati grasslands, and the Kuqa Grand Canyon like a maze castle. It is a master of the most wonderful landforms in Xinjiang.

The wonders of the grottoes are not limited to Dunhuang.

In addition to the most famous Mogao Grottoes, the Silk Road is also the history of grottoes in China. Kuqa Qiuci Grottoes Group is the earliest large-scale grottoes excavated in China, especially Qizil Grottoes. Baizixi Thousand Buddha Cave in Turpan is an important Buddhist center in Gaochang area.

Yulin Grottoes near Dunhuang are also famous for their exquisite murals. Tieti Mountain and Bingling Temple in Hexi Corridor are important representatives of grotto art, and Maiji Mountain is a temple of clay sculpture.

Silk road books audio & video

If you want to better understand the thick history of the Silk Road, you can do some homework in advance: New Silk Road and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes: The panoramic view taken by NHK can show you the historical panorama of the Silk Road, and Xuanzang Road and Hexi Corridor are both very high-quality domestic documentaries. In addition, you can also read the History of the New Silk Road to learn many unknown historical details. The Golden Peach of Samarkand pays more attention to the material and cultural exchanges along the Silk Road and is an excellent sinology work. The novels "The Wasted Capital" and "White Deer Plain" present the life of Chang 'an after its prosperity.

Jiangnan's dream in the warm and rich Yangtze River Delta region

Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, etc

Travel time: 10 ~ 15 days.

This is a paradise on earth in landscape poetry and painting, and it is also a powerful engine of China today. You can brew a pot of spring tea, paddle a canoe, savor the garden and water town, or shuttle through the streets of modern and fashionable cities and feel the speed and passion of the "postal area". All-round conveniences also allow you to really do whatever you want, just leave.

Stay at Qinhuai restaurant in the evening, fireworks will fall in Yangzhou in March, Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, and try to compare the West Lake with Xizi, from Baicaoyuan to Santan Yinyue? You must be familiar with these poems. Then why not follow the geographical pointer and walk into the land where the Yamaguchi group gathers?

Shanghai, which extends in all directions, is an ideal starting point. You can visit different areas one by one. The most representative are the ten-mile foreign markets-Bund, Yuyuan Garden and Xintiandi, as well as Xujiahui and Tianzifang with French sentiment. If you have time, go to Nanjing West Road, the north bank of Suzhou Creek, or go to Fairy Tale World Disney Resort.

Water will be the most important theme of this trip. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is listed as a world cultural heritage, flows through Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou from north to south and extends to Ningbo. Up to now, there are still ancient fiber roads and docks on both sides of the strait.

You can take a boat down the river or go sightseeing by bike along the canal. Spider-shaped rivers are also connected in series with countless warm ancient water towns. It's best to stay for one night, sleep in the shadow of paddle lights, and then take a leisurely walk in Qingshi Lane in the morning.

Large and small lakes are scattered pearls, some watch the ups and downs of the ancient capital, and some are pregnant with delicious lake fresh. When rivers merge into rivers and seas, you will also see thrilling tidal bore and islands far away from the hubbub.

While walking on the water, you can also become an architectural connoisseur, and visit the traditional and elegant gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, the houses of the Republic of China with a combination of Chinese and western, the magnificent buildings and skyscrapers of various countries.

When you are tired of walking, you should use delicious food to replenish your energy: sweet Subang food, delicious hangzhou dishes food, light and mild Huaiyang food, Shanghai local food with thick oil red sauce, various street snacks or western-style desserts, there is always one to your appetite.

Of course, as a cluster of modern cities, vitality and creativity are indispensable here, and various personalized shops and exhibitions are still waiting for you to explore. Stay longer, you don't want to leave so soon.

Exclusive tips

The Yangtze River Delta region is often crowded with scenic spots and interesting streets, so you may wish to go into battle lightly and walk through the streets by "walking+cycling". In addition, due to the large number of tourists all the year round, accommodation can make more use of reservation channels or avoid popular periods.

Theme activities

Attention, fans

Here's the chance to meet a star! There are many film and television bases in the Yangtze River Delta, including the Shanghai Film and Television Paradise where Deep Rain was filmed, and the huge Hengdian Film and Television City. Many university campuses are often used as locations. For example, the film To Youth was filmed in Nanjing University of Science and Technology, and the headquarters of the Soviet Union appeared in the TV series How to Shengxiao Mo.

Unlock the ancient road

The beautiful Huizhou-Hangzhou ancient road, once the main road for ancient businessmen and students to travel between Huizhou and Hangzhou, has now become a popular hiking route to visit ancient times. The difficulty is low, the route is clear, there are many supply points, and it is quite friendly to novices. Take a 2-3 hour shuttle bus from Hangzhou to Zhechuan, and then start hiking. The journey from the ancient road to Yuchuan is about 23 kilometers, which takes more than half a day, and it will pass through simple and steep valleys and waterfalls along the way.

Visiting University: Former Church University

From the middle of19th century to the beginning of 20th century, the Christian Church established 13 missionary universities in China, six of which were located in the Yangtze River Delta, including today's Zhijiang Campus of Zhejiang University (Zhijiang University), Changning Campus of East China University of Political Science and Law (St. John's University), Simon Road Campus of University of Science and Technology Shanghai (Hujiang University), Gulou Campus of Nanjing University (Jinling University) and Soochow. Because the planning and construction of missionary universities have western colors, a large number of red bricks are used and bell towers are built, which makes these campuses have outstanding value, and many of them are listed as national key cultural relics protection units.

For students, it will bring a great sense of accomplishment to complete a larger trip with a smaller budget. "frugal travel" is certainly a way, but many times, you don't have to sacrifice experience to reduce expenses. Appropriate money-saving skills and rational consumption concepts will also benefit you a lot in your later life.

1, student discount

Undoubtedly, the student ID card is one of the best discount tools for travel: in most scenic spots, you can get a 50% discount or even lower discount, but the graduate certificate often no longer enjoys the student discount (but in Europe and America, there is no distinction between undergraduate students and graduate students). In many scenic spots in China, the college entrance examination admission ticket or admission notice can also be used as preferential vouchers.

2. Carpooling and group fighting

If you want to go to some remote destinations that lack public transportation, transportation will be a big expense. Of course, you don't want to pay expensive charter fees, and you don't want to fight with drivers who are asking for exorbitant prices. Many local travel agencies and youth hostels will provide short-distance carpooling or group services, and the asking price is much cheaper than renting a car alone.

3. Youth discount air tickets

Many airlines, including China Eastern Airlines and Finnair, offer exclusive youth discounts or student discounts, with lower fares, which are usually applicable to a more relaxed policy of returning and changing visas. When searching for air tickets, you can lock the target airline first, and then find out whether there are special air tickets for young students through official website or customer service phone.

Step 4 make a reservation

Whether it's a hotel or a plane ticket, booking in advance can always save money. Many airlines or online travel agencies (OTA) websites have fixed membership days or promotion periods. "Double Eleven" and "Double Twelve" are often the biggest discounts.

5. Youth Hostel

You can buy YHA membership card to get discounts for all youth travel groups under the International Youth Hostel Association. In addition, YHA and ISIC have joint membership cards, which are cheaper than handling them separately, and they can also enjoy the benefits of the two associations.

6. Group buying websites

Group buying websites are important money-saving tools, and you can find discounts in almost all aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Meituan, Dianping and other websites are also offering more and more overseas group buying projects, covering tickets, catering, short trips and so on.

7. Coupons and city cards

Many tourist cities will offer a variety of scenic spot coupons or city cards, such as Beijing Museum Pass, London Pass and Turkey Museum Pass, which cover most popular scenic spots and can save a lot of ticket fees. However, it should be noted that such coupons usually have a term of use. In order to maximize its value, you need to plan your trip in advance.

8. Payment and withdrawal of cash

Nowadays, mobile payment apps such as Alipay and WeChat are popular all over the world, and you can find a lot of preferential information on them. When using credit cards abroad, if there is a large amount of consumption, you can first compare the exchange rates of different credit cards such as UnionPay, Visa and MasterCard. Try to keep accounts in local currency to avoid dynamic currency conversion fee (DCC). In addition, debit cards of many small and medium-sized banks are often free of withdrawal fees, which can save a sum of money when withdrawing money in different places, banks or overseas.
