1. Xinjiang-Yili
If you don't take the Duku Highway, Yizhao Highway and the scenic spots along it, go to Xinjiang in May and June, and don't wait for July to be crowded. The grasslands are covered in a layer of fresh greenery, dotted with small wildflowers, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are still majestic, not yet melting. At this time, Xinjiang is sparsely populated by tourists, and every day is like being in a fairy tale world, and the experience is far beyond the peak period of July and August.
Saiwai Jiangnan is in Ili, and the most beautiful scenery is Chasi. Snow-capped mountains, scattered spruce, small yellow flowers all over the ground. The green carpet stretching across the horizon of the Nalati steppe, the Kazakh yurt at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and the melted snow flowing across the steppe. There are endless forests and grasslands in Yili, and the Sailim Lake in Bozhou next door is particularly precious.
2. Qinghai-Haixi
The wilderness of the great northwest, the extreme scenery where the Gobi, snow-capped mountains, and dream lakes meet, the Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai can all give you. Rare salt lakes in other places have become common here, such as Chaka Salt Lake, Dachaidan Emerald Lake, Zarhan Salt Lake, Mangya Emerald Lake, and Dongtai Jiner Lake, which reappeared this year, and all kinds of colorful fantasy lake scenes, all in Haixi.
3. Yunnan-Xishuangbanna
After the May Day holiday, before July and August, it is a small off-season in Xishuangbanna, and the travel expenses at this time are only half of the peak season, which can save a lot in accommodation and transportation, and there is no need to choose those small cities in Xishuangbanna. Live near the Songkran Square in the city center, close to the riverside night market.
If you want to experience the fun of Songkran, go to the Dai Garden, where there is a Songkran Festival every day. The golden characteristic buildings of Mengxi Big Buddha Temple are very exotic. Wild Elephant Valley, Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Manting Park and other old scenic spots have their own characteristics. Mengla's Wangtian Tree, Mengyuan Wonderland, and Keno Mountain Hiking can also allow you to experience the wonder of the tropical rainforest more deeply.
4. Guizhou-Libo
There is a forest on the top, a stone forest on the bottom, and a cave forest on the bottom, which is beautiful, strange and dangerous. As a unique karst forest landform at the same latitude on the earth, Libo still maintains a very primitive ecosystem, and many extremely precious animals and plants are sealed. The small seven-hole water is as green as the emerald in the world, which is amazing. The green mountains stand alone, the clear water is beautiful, and it becomes the Wizard of Oz in summer.
5. Guangxi-Guilin
In May and June, Guilin is already full of emerald green, the mountains on both sides of the Li River are more beautiful, and there are not many tourists, and every day seems to be walking in a picture scroll. From Guilin to Yangshuo, you can drive or cruise. Visit Xingping Ancient Town, check in the background of 20 yuan, visit Jiuma Painting Mountain, and experience the nightlife of Yangshuo West Street. Rafting on a bamboo raft on the Yulong River, looking at the Silver Rock, walking the Fuli Bridge, the idyllic landscape is very healing.
At the end of April ~ mid-June, the Longji Terraces began to release water in preparation for spring ploughing, and the water in the fields reflected the mountains and clouds very beautifully, suitable for shooting sunrise and sunset. When the weather is good, the sun reflects sparkling waves, presenting a beautiful view of mirrored terraces.
6, Kawanishi
May to August is the highlight of western Sichuan, which can be compared to the grasslands, flowers, snow-capped mountains, and lakes of Xinjiang. The altitude span in western Sichuan is relatively large, and spring comes later in the high-altitude areas, and the grass at the lower altitudes is already green. If you want to see the grasslands, it is better to go around June to avoid the peak season in July and August.
In late May, a variety of wildflowers bloom in the Zoige steppe, and the blooming season lasts until the end of July. From the end of May to June, the grass in the Tagong grassland is basically green, and the Yala Snow Mountain seems to be close at hand. There are tens of thousands of acres of flowers, grasslands, wetlands, and snow-capped mountains in Omotang, which enter the full flowering period in June. You can see alpine rhododendrons and roadside wildflowers blooming one after another.
