The world is so big, I want to see it! I have admired the flowing water of the small bridge in Jiangnan Water Town, and I have also enjoyed the desert smoke in the north of Sai. For me, whether it is poetic landscapes, characteristic architecture, or unique customs and customs, each city has its own different style, and each landscape is a cultural feast, which conveys a strong historical flavor to the world all the time. Although the epidemic has deterred us from foreign cities that love to travel, if you want to feel the strong exotic atmosphere, you don't have to go abroad, it is also possible. Below I will introduce you to some of the most exotic places in the country, and ensure that you have the illusion of being in another country.
Manzhouli is a planned city in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, administered by the city of Hulunbuir, named after the Russian transliteration of the Eastern Qing Railway, built in 1901. It is located on the border between Mongolia and Russia, integrating the national characteristics of China, Russia and Mongolia, and is the largest land port city on the mainland, known as the "Window of East Asia".
Due to its location on the border, frequent trade with Russia and Europe, and the influence of the city's early development by the Russian colonizers, it was a feeling of being in Russia when walking on the streets of Manchuria. Leaving aside the ubiquitous Russian and blonde Russian girls, the Gothic and Byzantine castle buildings are enough to make it impossible to tell where they are. In particular, the Matryoshka Square, which is more than 30 meters high, can be described as a highly symbolic and eye-catching sign, and it is also one of the must-visit Internet celebrity punch cards for tourists.
Known as the "Switzerland of the East", Qingdao, Shandong, is a famous coastal tourist city in the mainland, a major node city of the Belt and Road New Eurasian Land Bridge Economic Corridor and a strategic fulcrum for maritime cooperation, with the reputation of "World Park". Rated by National Geographic as one of the five most beautiful urban areas in China, Badaguan is the scenic spot that best embodies the characteristics of Qingdao's "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky", and is also the place where Qingdao can best reflect the exotic style, known as the "Museum of International Architecture".
It brings together a variety of styles of buildings from more than 20 countries, including Russia, Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and Japan, whether it is the Gothic style of the pointed arches, the Roman relics of 2,000 years ago, or the gorgeous and exquisite Rococo style, which are all seen in the neighborhood. Strolling through it, in addition to letting you feel the heavy historical and cultural sense of the city, there is also the illusion of being in a foreign country.
As one of the 12 hottest tourist destinations in the world, Xishuangbanna, with an average annual temperature of 20 °C, can be said to be one of the most suitable tourist destinations in the mainland in winter to avoid the cold. In addition to China's only tropical rainforest nature reserve, it is also full of magical and romantic exoticism, giving people the illusion of being in a Southeast Asian country at any time.
Xishuangbanna is one of the 8 major autonomous prefectures in Yunnan, and is also a place with diverse ethnic groups, diverse cultures and ethnic minority customs. In particular, the warm and simple Dai family style is the most impressive. There is the Thousand-year-old Dai Royal Garden Manting Park, the original Tai people's Village Mengjinglai known as the "First Village of China and Myanmar", and the Dai Natural Village Dai Nationality Garden, which is a living national history museum... You can go to the national park to see wild elephants, go to Mandan Village for the most traditional Songkran festival, or feel the temptation of food at the brightly lit Starlight Night Market.
