Pack your bags in a cool summer and go for the summer.

The weather forecast figures are hitting a record high. Not only did summer arrive half a month earlier, although the saying of "hottest" summer in history has yet to be tested by time, this "cool summer" has come out of this year's abnormal winter:

In the winter of 65438+ 10 this year, French street flowers are in full bloom; Sweden's brown bear finally hibernated after waking up for two months more than in previous years; The World Cup skiing competition in Switzerland was cancelled because it didn't snow. The migratory birds that Germany should have flown south actually stayed.

Fortunately, there is also travel, which allows us to move freely like birds. In this hot season, we can pack our bags and avoid the heat.

This time, we will tell you about two styles of summer vacation. If you are energetic and like to play cool games, you can set your sights on countries far from the equator, such as Finland, South Africa and Australia, where not only the temperature is suitable, but also you can feel the amorous feelings that can't be missed this season. If you are willing to find something new in China, you can spend a cool summer with a leisurely attitude, because we have discovered the latest and deepest summer resorts and ways. What are you waiting for? Let's go!

Cool play, away from the equator, looking for style.

The weather is very hot, and the way to travel is of course cool. First of all, to avoid extreme heat, we should choose countries far from the equator, such as Finland in northern Europe, Australia and South Africa in the southern hemisphere; Secondly, even in summer, the quality can not be satisfied at all. In summer, we will play a different game, experience the freshest gameplay and feel the deepest travel.

Reverse the earth and come to the winter solstice in Australia.

Cool label

The climate in Australia is so attractive that many British people who come to Australia say, "The biggest mistake made by our ancestors is that criminals should not have been exiled to Australia in the first place. They should all immigrate to Australia and leave all criminals in Britain! "

The seasons in Australia are opposite to ours, and so is the direction of water flow. It is said that even the "spin" on the head is opposite to ours-counterclockwise, so June to August is the winter in Australia every year. It's extremely hot in Beijing, but it's exceptionally cool here. The temperature is between 10℃ and 22℃.

Cool play guide:

Now in Sydney, you can see the golden splendor of the Sydney Opera House at dusk, the most beautiful moment of the year. If you go to the Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef now, there will be fewer underwater passengers than in summer. It is warmer than Sydney. It is suitable for swimming all year round. You can watch gannets on the Gold Coast, go sand skiing in the desert, catch stupid mud crabs, and experience the excitement of surfing on the golden beach that stretches for more than 70 kilometers.

If Sydney and the Gold Coast are not cool enough, you can continue south to Melbourne, where the average temperature is several degrees lower than Sydney, and the snow-capped mountains can alleviate the heat.

In Australia, you can not only catch the winter solstice, but also have a 10 day winter solstice festival. Hobert, the gateway of Tasmania to the Antarctic continent, will hold the Antarctic Winter Solstice Festival from June 15 to 24 this year. At that time, a lantern festival will be held to celebrate the extreme night film festival, which is very lively.

Go to Finland for a night tour of the Arctic Circle.

Cool label

12 It's already midnight, but there is still a red sun on the lake. You can fish, row a boat or pick blueberries in the forest without a flashlight. Although the sun is shining, there is a night breeze blowing gently. What a pleasant thing it is.

This is Finland, taking you to the Arctic Circle for the summer. Live a different life as an insider.

Finland is located at a high latitude in the far north, and the territory across the Arctic Circle is 1/4, so it is also very cool in summer, with a temperature of 24℃ during the day and only 18℃ at night, and the temperature is very comfortable.

Cool play guide:

Lapland in northern Finland, where Santa Claus Village is located, has the wonder of "midnight sun". At midnight, you can still enjoy the night with the sun.

Going out at night, after 6 pm, life has just begun. Fishing by the lake can be carried out in a "one-stop" with barbecue. There are many fishing opportunities in Finland, and there is little pollution in the coast and lakes. Salmon, trout, whitebait can be caught immediately, sashimi, smoked, everything is delicious. There is also a kind of fish similar to mackerel, which is also delicious. If you don't want to fish, you can also choose to do outdoor activities in the quiet forest, or read quietly by the lake, waiting for the "canoe sailor" to catch delicious fish.

And if you arrive in Finland after July 2 1, you can also taste the Finnish "favorite"-crayfish. The short period from the end of July to the beginning of August is the season to enjoy crayfish.

Playing golf in the midnight sun is also a very unique experience. Moreover, there are golf courses in Finland, and you can hit Sweden in one shot. Because it spans two time zones, it swings at 7 o'clock and lands at 8 o'clock, so the design of the stadium is amazing. This stadium is located in the green area of Tornia, Finland and Harpalanda, Sweden. The stadium 1 1 hole is in Sweden, and the other 7 holes are in Finland.

Finland is not far from Estonia. You can take a three-hour speedboat to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, and visit the castle built by the Danish king in the13rd century, as well as the beautiful Goldwilst church and so on.

Only lives in Kruger, South Africa.

Cool label

Although it is winter in South Africa, the temperature is not as cold as expected, about 10℃ ~ 20℃. Next to Garden Avenue, the humid sea breeze blowing from the coast is still warm, and the wind in Cape Town is not as fierce as it was in the spring and autumn, but the grass on the African grassland has turned yellow. In fact, winter is one of the most suitable seasons for traveling to South Africa.

Cool play guide:

Of course, the most important thing to go to South Africa now is to see animals. The grass has turned yellow and become short, making it easier to find traces of animals. Be sure to go to Kruger Wildlife Park, which is the largest wildlife park in the world. When you drive around in a convertible, maybe leopards are wandering around you and herds of antelopes are dancing lightly.

In Kruger, it is recommended to stay in Kruger National Park. Only by living in a park can you enjoy sleeping with lions. There are many private luxury hotels in the southwest of the park. In addition, there are many campsites and self-help accommodation facilities with moderate prices for tourists to choose from, but they need to be booked in advance.

Travel to the mountains and live in villas.

Avoiding heat is nothing more than stepping on "Liangshan" or getting the moon first by being close to the water. If you want to swim for a summer, come and see the new places and new ways to play in summer that we recommend for you!

New Island to visit the coast of Tian Heng.

Cool label

In summer, it rains in Tian Heng Island, but there is no hot and humid sea breeze, which makes the whole island extremely cool. Therefore, even in the hottest summer, residents here will put on thin quilts at night. Although Tian Heng Island was an island where Tian Heng, king of Qi, fought against Liu Bang at the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, and hid after the defeat, the ancient smoke had already dispersed, and now there is only tranquility and serenity on the island.

Cool experience:

When you set foot on Tian Heng Island, the biggest feeling is refreshing. Several seagulls circled back and forth overhead, and the whistle of distant fishing boats also told us that Tian Heng Island had arrived. Apart from the sound of seabirds and fishing boats whistling, it is difficult to hear other sounds here, and the whole island is particularly quiet.

When I came to the island, I couldn't adapt to the green eyes at once. The leisurely island black pine was like a persistent soldier, silently guarding the territory of nature. Standing on the sea-based rock reef, the waves from far and near splash at your feet, and the wet pants are the traces of her kissing you.

Although it is inconvenient to swim by the sea because there are many reefs, it is also interesting to count the small crabs crawling around on the beach. You can often see colorful starfish on the beach, which is very beautiful.

How can I get to Tian Heng Island without going fishing in the sea? Because a few years ago, Tian Heng was still an aquaculture farm, so the seafood here is particularly rich. Be sure to find old fishermen because they are more likely to find the "rich mine" of fish. Take a wooden boat out to sea like a tractor and drive to the high seas for 20 minutes. The fish here are particularly easy to bite. Soon, I never fished again, and I got something, a large yellow croaker. Of course, you can't waste the fish you catch. If you take it back to your place, you can cook a bowl of delicious fish soup.

I have to praise the seafood in Tian Heng Island. It's really good and cheap. There is the most delicious seafood soup here. When tasting, it is rare that the tongue can fall off, which is also an authentic Jiaodong flavor. Not to mention Tian Heng's three treasures "Meretrix meretrix, native chicken and horseshoe crab" and unusual raw snails, all of which are the characteristics of fishermen.

Life on the island in summer is very comfortable, quiet and full of energy. Ride a tandem bike with your partner and enjoy the cool summer breeze leisurely. It's getting late, the night on the island is very dark, and there are almost no street lamps. Pick up the fireworks already prepared, line up, light them and feel the splendor of the sky.

How to get there: Tian Heng Island is located at the eastern end of Jimo, Qingdao. Take a bus from Qingdao coach station to Jimo, then turn to Tianheng Island and take a taxi to the dock. The whole journey takes about 2 hours. If you drive by car, from Beijing via Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, transfer to Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, then take Qing Ji Expressway to Nanquan, and Jimo Expressway exit to Tian Heng Island. There are road signs along the way, about 9 hours. There is a parking lot on the dock. From the dock to the island, there is a boat from 7:00 to 18:00. You can book a cruise by phone.

In addition, the accommodation on the island is very good, including standard rooms and a whole villa. Famous resort hotels include Jinta and Ginza. All kinds of accommodation are between one hundred and two hundred yuan each. There are bars and cafes on the island. There are single and double bicycles for rent, and bonfire parties can be held.

Jigongshan, a new residence in June.

Cool label

In Jigongshan, there is a saying that "June is like a frosty day", which shows that it is cool in summer. At the beginning of last century, a foreign missionary marveled at the beauty of Jigong Mountain and built the first villa. Subsequently, foreign businessmen came to Wuhan in succession, and warlords and politicians were unwilling to lag behind. They built more than 200 villas with different styles here, which won the reputation of "World Architecture Expo" for Jigongshan. The most famous buildings are Lu Yi Mansion, American Mansion, Sweden Mansion, Marshall Mansion and Sister Mansion.

Cool experience:

Jigong Mountain is very considerate. It is still green under the scorching sun. Being in the mountain, it is warm and cold day by day, away from the hubbub, and willing to enjoy the lightness of forgetting myself.

In the mountains, everything is so moving, there is no obvious man-made destruction, no redundant packaging and repair, and every stone and tree keeps its original appearance. No one around, stretched out his hand and touched those mottled stone pillars, and the broken shadow of the past seemed to come again.

The largest and most beautiful summer resort on the mountain belongs to Lu Yi, because when you walk around the mountain, you can always see the yellow pavilion sign of this building when you look up. Now the building is open to the public and can be used for accommodation. Just 20 yuan for a bed.

The most vicissitudes seem to be the Marshall Building. Along the long stone steps covered with locust trees, a corner of the villa is exposed to the thick shade. The lock on the door was rusted, and the room was empty through some fuzzy window glass. Outside the fan corridor, the trees are greener after the rain. There is a small garden behind the villa. Through the white fence, a large white flower blooms alone, which seems to be lonely after years of empty buildings.

There are a lot of places and villas on the mountain. Looking down all the way, it is very comfortable to see a few tourists. Not every villa here has a name. There are many unknown villas scattered in the outer garden villas in the north of the American building. Walking aimlessly on the colorful stone road, every few steps, there are unexpected discoveries. Most of the small buildings are locked and uninhabited for a long time. Fortunately, they can visit at will, and because there is no repetition, they will not get tired of watching it for a long time.

I boarded the yellow building that I fell in love with at first sight and sat down against the cloister pillar. There is a piece of green bamboo outside, and I can see old bamboo shoots occasionally. Sunlight passes through the bamboo forest and falls on the inner wall of the corridor, with mottled light and shadow. There is a breeze blowing, bringing the smell of acacia and buttonwood. Close your eyes and feel like a leaf here.

Diet: It is cheap to eat and live in the mountains, and there are all kinds of grades. The average cost of a day (including room and board) can be settled in 50 yuan. Of course, if you want to eat well, talk about it. There are wild vegetables such as purslane, doll fist, pearl cauliflower and mountain leek, all of which are fresh and refreshing. There are also grilled fish, Xinyang Maojian tea, golden wheat beer and so on.

How to check in: Many old villas in Jigongshan are now mostly sanatoriums of various units, but fortunately they are also open to the public. There are 500 to 600 extra rooms, and one bed in 20 yuan is cheap 15. Louis now eats and lives in 50 yuan for one day.

Jigong Mountain is one of the four summer resorts in China, known as the "Green Department of Chu and Yu", and it is the natural grade dividing line between the north and the south of China. As early as the beginning of this century, Jigong Mountain was as famous as Beidaihe, Lushan and Moganshan. The poem of the ancients, "Three-volt inflammation steams people to death and makes them feel suspicious", is a vivid description of the cool and pleasant Jigong Mountain.

■ Travel tips

Temperature and elevation The elevation of the main peak of Jigongshan Mountain is 8 1 1 m. In summer, the average temperature at the top of Jigongshan Mountain is only 2.4 degrees Celsius, so there is a saying that "June is like a frosty day" and "the whole body prickly heat disappears overnight".

Transportation starts from Guangzhou, takes a civil aviation flight to Xinzheng Airport in Zhengzhou, Henan Province or Tianhe Airport in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and takes a tourist bus to the top of Jigong Mountain.

The new game is to go to Nandaihe to be a "white bar in the waves"

Cool label

Nandaihe is the back garden of Beijing, and it is a summer resort with mountains and seas. There is no cold in winter and no heat in summer, and the average temperature in summer is only 24.5℃. So every summer, visitors to Nandaihe always cross the river like crucian carp. But if you really want to be completely cool and carefree, there is nothing better than throwing yourself into the blue sea.

Cool experience:

Knowing that Nandaihe has the largest windsurfing base in China, I asked a group of friends to drive there. In such a hurry, it is really because I feel uncomfortable in the cement forest.

Before reaching the base, I saw dozens of windsurfers on the distant sea, as light as seagulls and flying freely. I can't wait to set foot on windsurfing, only to find that windsurfing is not as simple as I thought. Anyway, the sail can't be pulled up; Board, but also all, unstable. Fly around like this, keep falling into the water and sail. After tossing for half an hour, suddenly a sea breeze blew and the windsurfing accidentally slipped 20~30 meters. Walking in the wind is so real, that kind of freedom is completely different from standing on the ground, and the whole body and mind are flying. This time, I can experience the beauty of windsurfing.

At this point, it is completely windsurfing poisoning. I spent the whole summer at the seaside, braving the wind and waves, and my skills advanced by leaps and bounds, enjoying the natural and handsome windsurfing. However, I also have windsurfing syndrome: I can't see the wind. Whenever the wind blows, there are no distractions in my mind. It's all the fun of riding the wind and waves in the past There is a red sun in my heart, dancing at my feet and running to the nearest water's edge with the fastest speed. If you are unfortunately intercepted, you must be scratching your heart and fidgeting. There is nothing in your heart except the swaying colorful sails.

Navigation tips:

Learn to know the wind direction. Doing water surface simulation exercises on land before launching will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Learn to balance, which is the basis of becoming a white bar in the waves. Learn the correct way to fall into the water to avoid sprain.

How to sail: If you go to Nandaihe, you can go to Nandaihe Blue Sea and Blue Sky Seaside Resort, which is a windsurfing base. Usually the rental price of windsurfing is 150 yuan/half day, 200 yuan/all day. If you are a novice, it is recommended to hire a coach, and the novice windsurfing training camp will last for two hours, 80 yuan/person.

How to get there: It is most convenient to go to Nandaihe by car. From Beijing East Fourth Ring Road via Bailu Toll Station of Beijing-Shenyang Expressway, get off at Beidaihe Exit 19, and drive towards Nandaihe after leaving the toll station.

Beidaihe travel guide

(1) transportation

Train: Beidaihe is 380 kilometers from Beijing and 243 kilometers from Tianjin, with convenient transportation. Take bus No.5 from Beidaihe Railway Station or take bus No.3 and bus No.4 from Qinhuangdao Railway Station and get off at Beidaihe Haibin Station.

self-driving

Distance: 253km from Sifang Bridge on the East Fourth Ring Road in Beijing to Beidaihe Exit of Beijing-Shenyang Expressway, and there are obvious road distance signs every few tens of kilometers. Beijing-Shenyang Beidaihe Exit to downtown 12km.

(2) Accommodation

Beidaihe now has all kinds of accommodation.

Sea View Rooms: There are 6 large-scale picture books of Beidaihe Sea View Rooms on the website, but they usually go to seaside hotels after going downstairs, such as Donghai Beach, but these hotels are generally close to some bathing beaches or cruise terminals, so there are more tourists, and some people have a messy landscape.

(3) Catering

Tiger Stone Park is a relatively concentrated area of dining, accommodation and shopping in Beidaihe Scenic Area. There are many three-story outdoor restaurants near Tiger Stone Park, where you can watch the sea while eating, but the price here is relatively expensive. We went in the last week of June. The shrimp in Kiwai was 45kg, and the fish in Daping was 68kg. It was quite expensive, but there was nothing we could do. If you want to see the sea view, you can only stay here. In addition, there are some open-air restaurants on the east coast of Tiger Stone Park. I feel that all restaurants are expensive, but the amount of food is still quite large.

(4) Entertainment

Be sure to ride a tandem bike, three people. The fare is 20 yuan an hour, but it can be rented for a long time at half price. We originally planned to rent a car for one afternoon and six hours in 50 yuan. You can ride all the way along the seaside, or you can ride all the way to Nandai River. It's not too far. It only took us two hours to go back and forth. The coastal scenery is very beautiful. You can not only enjoy the romantic atmosphere of two people riding bicycles, but also enjoy the surrounding coastline scenery. You can also visit the accommodation places along the way, and the road signs to Nandaihe are easy to find. On the way back and forth, if you like the scenery there, you can stop and enjoy it slowly, and then embark on the journey. The bicycles in Beidaihe are all contracted by a company, so although the bicycles are not locked, anyone who sees a rented bicycle on the roadside can give it to them for safekeeping, or pay a dollar to the shop selling iced drinks, but where the rented bicycle must be returned.
