Bird-watching in the wetland

Location: Qiqihar, Heilongjiang

Time: July-August

For bird watchers, the wetland in the northeast of China is a paradise of dreams. On the marsh of Zhalong Wetland in Qiqihar, the graceful steps of red-crowned cranes are the same all year round.

Every year from mid-March to late October, hundreds of migrating red-crowned cranes stop at Zhalong Wetland in Qiqihar. There are only 2,2 endangered wild animals in the world, of which nearly 3 are kept in cages in nature reserves, making Zhalong the biggest tourist attraction. Zhalong wetland is the largest in Asia, and the scenic spot is only a small part of it. Flying the red-crowned crane every day is worth a special trip. The rest of the time, you can walk slowly around this wetland that you can go to.

Along the plank road, you can also see the largest white-naped crane, common gray crane and rare white crane in China in the rare bird cage. Occasionally I will meet a few free-range red-crowned cranes walking in the park. However, it should be noted that the red-crowned crane is not afraid of people, even fierce. Try not to get too close to or touch them. At the same time, in order not to disturb the red-crowned crane, aerial photography tools are prohibited in the park.

When Tricholoma matsutake was unearthed

Location: Diqing, Yunnan

Time: July-August

Diqing is not a familiar destination, but almost everyone knows Shangri-La. Since ancient times, Diqing has never been a place far away from the hubbub. For thousands of years, all ethnic groups have come and gone on this plateau on the eastern edge of Tibet, with butter tea, Baba, yak meat barbecued with Dai people and red wine. This is probably the most "vulgar" and expensive Tibetan area.

Rain brings abundant Tricholoma matsutake. You must not miss this delicious food when you go to Diqing. Now is the high-yield period of fungi, especially Tricholoma matsutake, and a large number of fresh fungi are sent to you by local people at the first time. Don't miss the opportunity to try early.

Wild fun

Location: Enshi, Hubei

Time: July-August

Every July and August, the height of high mountains blocks the dry and hot plains, especially near Lichuan, Chongqing, and saves people from fire and water. Qingjiang, the mother river of Enshi, is cooler and the water is blue and shiny. Rafting by boat is the most enjoyable thing.

all the mountains and rivers here have their "wildest" side. -The earth stylist has arranged the most complete karst landform here, creating a magnificent national geological park. On the winding mountain road, you can overlook the cliffs and peaks stretching across the sky. Jumping down to the bottom of the valley is a rift valley, sinkhole, cave and underground river that cracks the surface and goes deep underground. From time to time, a waterfall rushes out of the steep rock wall and floats down to the bottom of the pool, making the water refreshing. Enshi Grand Canyon hiking, Qingjiang ancient riverbed, Luyuanping, Qingjiang rafting and Tenglongdong cruise

Enshi is the place with the largest number of ethnic minorities in this province. They create their own troubles in this isolated secret world. Swing dance, dragon boat tune and Xilankapu are all ways to relieve boredom on weekdays. The high-speed railway opened in recent years has basically dispersed those dangerous roads. If you come to the westernmost part of Hubei, you will "run wild".

The festival season coincides with the fragrance of melons and fruits

Generally speaking, the best time for hiking in mountainous areas of Xinjiang is from June to September. Make the holiday hiking route more colorful. In August, when you are hiking in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, you may meet the Mongolian Jockey Club or the Nadam Convention. Walking in the Tianshan grassland between summer and autumn, you may also encounter the lively Eid al-Adha Festival in Kazakhstan.

August-September is the season when melons and fruits in Xinjiang are fragrant. It's just a time to have fun, and you can experience the joy of all ethnic groups celebrating the harvest all the way. Tourism festivals around the country are also rich and colorful.

There are more than Ding Zhen in Litang

Location: Litang, Sichuan

Time: late July-early August

The scale and fame of Litang Jockey Club attract countless Kangba people, Amdo horses and riders at home and abroad every year. The most exquisite costumes and the most cheerful songs and dances are on display these days. What is particularly interesting is that Kangba men will try their best to dress more luxuriantly than girls.

Litang Jockey Club was transformed from the blessing ceremony of "Mountain Crossing Club in June". In 1964, the local government fixed the festival on August 1, so there was the famous Litang Bayi International Jockey Club. In recent years, the Jockey Club has gradually changed from an official organization to a private initiative, and the date is still the golden age of grassland in late July and early August. This year's Jockey Club is scheduled to be held from July 26th to July 29th. At this time, the resources of food, shelter and transportation are in short supply. It's best to be prepared in advance.

Beibu Gulf Sea Opening Festival

Location: Guangxi Beibu Gulf

Time: August

August is the day to open the sea for fishing, marking the beginning of the fat seafood season. With Beihai as the center, Fangchenggang, Qinzhou and other Beibu Gulf cities will hold various food and cultural activities.

who can resist the temptation of sunshine, beach, sea, or the more fashionable 3S (sun/beach/sea)? Subtropical islands, fresh air, delicious (and cheap) seafood, how many people will never forget it when they come? Beibu Gulf has these advantages: Jin Tan, Yintan and Bailangtan, and every coastal city has soft beaches; In Qiaogang, Luowei and Weizhou Island, seafood just unloaded from fishing boats is waiting to be eaten. What's more, compared with Hainan, or the famous coastal islands in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, the tourism in Beibu Gulf is always lower and more cost-effective.

Summer Drifting

Location: Wuyuan, Jiangxi

Time: July-August

The photos of golden rape flowers can't summarize Wuyuan, but green mountains and green waters, white walls and white tiles are its main colors. Although it is a small village, it is more exquisite than the prefecture-level cities and county-level cities you have been to before. Only from this point can you be convinced of the title of "the most beautiful village in China".

Wuyuan is the epitome of Huizhou villages. Since ancient times, Shan Ye people have been either businessmen or Confucian businessmen. The mottled old house reveals a glorious past. Zhong Ling Yu Xiu has a Jiangnan rhyme that speaks louder than words. Both ancient architecture lovers and root seekers of local culture will be deeply fascinated by it.

Wuyuan in people's eyes may be very different. If you are disappointed because you only visit famous scenic spots, don't put the blame on the tourism developers or you come later than others. Wuyuan is very big, so far there is no endless strategy. "Invisible Village" is an ideal destination for deep travel, and it also tests whether travelers can play. Nowadays, you choose to stay in Wuyuan village, which is not limited to farmhouse music. There are already boutique inns on the east and north lines that have been rebuilt from old houses, which are commendable in terms of design taste, facility level, sleeping comfort and service details.

Besides, during the drifting season from July to August, the drifting in Wulongyuan is cool and exciting.

It is hot in Shaanxi, and playing with water is a pleasure to relieve the high temperature. But in summer vacation, Xi 'an is a popular destination for students and tourists. The earlier you book the accommodation, the better.

There are many rafting projects along the valley roads and rivers in Qinling Mountains, and hot summer is the best time to go swimming. Even on a hot day above 35 in Xi 'an, deep into Qinling Mountains, the summer heat will still fade, so you need to wear a long-sleeved coat to avoid catching cold. Why not find a mountain to live in for two days?
