Where to go on New Year's Day? These are good places to travel in winter, and you can have fun
The cold winter makes people want to get away from the busy city and embark on a different kind of trip. New Year's Day is approaching, and the choice of tourist attractions has become a topic of great concern. In this article, I'll take you through some of the best places to travel in winter, both to enjoy the beautiful scenery and have fun. Combined with my own experiences and feelings, let's embark on this winter journey together.
1. Wonderland in the snow: Harbin
In the cold winter, Harbin is like a snowy wonderland, beautiful. I chose to come to this ice city on New Year's Day last year and was very impressed.
At this time, Harbin's central street is completely transformed into a fairy tale world of ice and snow, with bright lights and various sculptures and buildings dressed in silver. In particular, the ice and snow sculptures on the Songhua River seem to have entered a world of ice and snow fairy tales, which makes people marvel at this fantastic scene.
And in Harbin, the unmissable is the Ice Lantern Garden Party. When night falls, the entire ice and snow world is lit up by thousands of lights, forming a dazzling ice lantern landscape. Here, I felt as if I had entered a fairytale wonderland of ice and snow, and all kinds of lifelike ice sculptures exuded dreamy colors and were intoxicating.
Story 1: A romantic encounter in the ice and snow
At the Ice Lantern Parade in Harbin, I met a young couple who were holding hands and shuttling between the ice sculptures, and their laughter could be heard from time to time. The boy suddenly took out a small box, and inside was a ring with sparkling diamonds. It turned out that he chose to propose to his beloved girl on this romantic night of ice and snow. The girl was so moved that she almost cried, and her smile full of happiness made the entire ice sculpture garden warm and romantic.
2. Hot spring health tour: Jiuzhaigou
For those who pursue warmth and health, Jiuzhaigou is definitely a good place to go that cannot be ignored. Especially during the cold winter months, the hot springs here become a symbol of warmth.
In Jiuzhaigou, I experienced the local Tibetan hot spring culture. As soon as you enter the hot spring area, you will be greeted by warm steam, which makes you feel as if you are bathed in gentle clouds. The hot spring pool is arranged in the embrace of nature, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, as if entering a fairyland on earth.
Story 2: A fountain of inspiration in a hot spring
In the hot springs of Jiuzhaigou, I got to know a creator from the field of art. He told me that whenever he came here, the wetness and warmth of the hot springs were always a source of inspiration. He has completed stunning paintings here, all of which have a unique spa atmosphere. This made me feel that travel is not only about enjoying the scenery, but also about inspiring and creative.
3. Ice and Snow Sports Park: Changbai Mountain
If you have a soft spot for ice and snow sports, then Changbai Mountain is undoubtedly an ideal place to go. Known as the "Roof of the Northeast", this snowy resort is blessed with unique natural conditions and is an excellent place for winter sports.
I once experienced the thrill of snow gliding in Changbai Mountain, standing on a high place, looking at the distant mountains, the whole person seemed to be integrated into the embrace of nature. In this snow-white world, let yourself loose and feel the thrill of flying.
Story 3: Free dancers on the snow
On the snow paragliding field of Changbai Mountain, I met a young girl from the city. She told me that she always felt a sense of constraint and pressure in her busy city life. And in snow gliding, she was able to unleash herself and feel a sense of joy in being close to nature. She is like a free dancer on the snow, leaving a series of beautiful arcs, as if performing her own adventure in the sea of snow.
4. In-depth cultural tour: Xi'an
If you're interested in history and culture, then Xi'an is an incomparable choice. In this ancient capital with a long history, every brick and tile has precipitated a thousand-year-old civilization.
In Xi'an, I immersed myself in the grandeur of the ancient city walls and felt the vicissitudes of history. When night falls, the bell tower and drum tower are lit up like a time tunnel, transporting visitors back to the old days. In front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I listened to an ancient concert, as if I had stepped back in time and returned to the Tang Dynasty.
Story 4: Cultural Dialogue at Night
In Xi'an, I met a young man who loves history and culture. He told me that every historical site in this ancient city is a book that has been dormant for thousands of years, and he is willing to read these chapters of history with his heart. He often chooses to stroll through the streets and alleys of the ancient city at night to feel the weight of history. One night, he met an artist who focused on traditional musical instruments at the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the two began an evening of cultural dialogue, which filled the entire ancient city with a strong cultural atmosphere.
In this New Year's season, whether you are looking for romance, ice and snow sports, or history and culture, you can find your own corner of your soul in these tourist destinations. This is not only a simple trip, but also an adventure for the soul, allowing us to find our own unique experience in the world of ice and snow. On New Year's Day, let's embark on this winter journey together and find our own scenery.
