Great places to avoid the crowd during the National Day, Enshi's beautiful scenery awaits your exploration!
During the National Day Golden Week, everyone is looking for niche travel destinations, right? Just like everyone else, I can't bear to waste the rare statutory holiday, so I took advantage of the National Day to visit places like Western Sichuan, Gannan, Qinghai-Tibet, Xinjiang, etc. However, it is expected that these places will be crowded this year, which is daunting. Today, I recommend a low-key good place in Hubei to everyone - Enshi! Most of the attractions here are free! Enshi is known as the world's selenium capital, Hubei's Xianbenna, and the forest sea of western Hubei, definitely worth a visit! Free attractions recommendation: 1. Wangcheng Slope: Known as the 'City of Love' of Enshi, you can enjoy the sunrise and overlook the beautiful scenery of Enshi. 2. Wood Ear Mountain Tea Garden: Continuous tea mountains, full of green, refreshing. 3. Fu'er Mountain: Known as the Little Xinjiang of Hubei, the slope meadows, flocks of sheep. 4. Free attractions outside the Enshi Grand Canyon: Tea garden & heart-shaped waterfall are near the Xingye Homestay. 5. Lichuan Qingjiang Ancient Riverbed: A great place for hiking enthusiasts. 6. Pao'er Mountain: Along the way, there are 'Twilight Forest' of Chaotian Bamboo, where you can find the mysterious forest secret realm. 7. Pengjiazhai: Beautiful Tujia village, a good place to experience local customs. 8. Lichuan Qiyue Mountain: Windmill Mountain, if you are lucky, you can encounter a sea of clouds. 9. Lichuan Cold Land: Forest secret realm, beautiful sunset and windmill, you can stay in the nearby camp, the environment is beautiful. Paid attractions recommendation: 1. Luyuanping: Fissures, waterfalls, and strange peaks are all available, similar to the scenery of the Enshi Grand Canyon, but more niche. 2. Pingshan Grand Canyon: Hubei's Xianbenna, the only recommended place that might be crowded, the scenery is very worth seeing. If you want to go, be sure to get up early! There are always some special beautiful moments in the journey, I hope at that moment we can drink with the green mountains, and feel the slightly drunk happiness in nature. Do you know any other interesting and fun niche travel spots? Welcome to discuss in the comments section!

📍Kazanqi: A blue town, not particularly commercialized. Spend 20 yuan to take a small tricycle, take you through the streets and alleys, fully feel the local humanities.
📍Chaxi: It is a famous forest area in Xinjiang, with endless spruce of Xueling. However, only off-road vehicles can go up the mountain at present, heading towards Tarim, otherwise you can only take a shuttle bus to the "Chaxi Scroll", which is not one tenth as beautiful as Chaxi.
📍Xia Ta: Enter the Muzart Glacier in the scenic area, come to the foot of the snow mountain, here you can not feel the heat of summer, only the refreshing feeling. At the same time, it is also the only scenic spot in Yili where you can see the complete snow mountain in summer.

📍Qiongkushitai: My favorite, one of the paradises of Yili, with ancient Kazakh villages, distant rolling mountains, pastures, streams, it is immersive.
📍Nalati: One of the four major grasslands in the world, snow mountains, valleys, wild flowers, and cattle and sheep all over the mountains are the main colors here. However, there are also the most tourists, relatively noisy.

Wensu County, Xinjiang: The land of reproduction of the ancient country of Gumu
On the morning of New Year's Day, the sun shines on the land of Wensu County, Xinjiang, bringing new vitality. Starting from the Wensu County Industrial Park, along the colorful flag fluttering highway, heading north to explore a mysterious place - the ancient country of Gumu.
This place belongs to the Tianshan Tuomu'er scenic area, the north is the Tuomu'er Grand Canyon and Ta Village tourist area, and the most famous Tuomu'er Grand Canyon is known to the world for its peculiarities, and tourists come to visit every year, praising the grandeur of the Grand Canyon and the magic of nature.
Gumu, a once glorious ancient country, now only has a replica ancient building - Gumu City, in the Tuomu'er scenic area, witnessing the once glory of this ancient civilization. This city stands on the barren beach Gobi, as if telling the story of a thousand years ago.
Slowly approaching this city. On the city gate, the words "Tuomu'er Scenic Area" are striking, and on the building above the city gate, the two big characters "Gumu" are even more eye-catching. These two big characters are like the brand of history, engraved on this land, so that everyone who passes by can feel the heavy sense of history.
Entering Gumu City, it seems to have traveled through time and space, returning to the glorious ancient country of Gumu. The architectural style of the city is unique, and every stone and tile is full of historical marks.
Walking in the city, I seem to hear the laughter of the ancients, and see their busy figures. Here, it is their place of reproduction, and it is also their place to create a glorious history.
Standing on the spacious city wall, each horse face is equipped with a bed, stone thrower, Qing Dynasty cannon and cold weapon, etc., in addition there are statues of Zheng Ji, the first protector of the Han Dynasty riding a war horse, and Fu Jiezi who beheaded the king of Loulan, their contributions to maintaining the unity of the motherland are engraved in the long history, and are respected by generations.
Standing in front of this replica ancient building, I couldn't help but respect the wisdom and diligence of the ancients. They established a great civilization on this barren land and left a valuable cultural heritage.
Today, we should cherish this heritage more, inherit this wisdom, and let the glory of the ancient country of Gumu shine forever on the land of Xinjiang.

Standing on the edge of the Yellow River cliff, quietly feeling the charm of the Grand Canyon!
What is it like to stay on the cliff of the Yellow River in December?
With a special obsession, I returned to the Yellow River again
Dale Wilderness·Yellow River Grand Canyon
About the destination
Dale Wilderness just opened a new store in October this year, located on the cliff of the Lao Niu Bay scenic area, you can see the Yellow River Jiuqu out of the door, and there are hidden residential caves around, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise
Due to the snow season, the Lao Niu Bay scenic area has been temporarily suspended, so this trip only arranged for three days and two nights, it is enough to quietly feel the charm of the Grand Canyon
Transportation arrangements
It is a 3-hour drive from Hohhot Airport/Hohhot Station, and a 4-hour drive from Datong Airport/Datong Station. You can choose to arrive at the airport/station according to other itinerary arrangements. Because the location of the homestay is relatively remote, the car rental usually needs to include the empty car return fee, and it is recommended to drive by yourself when the weather is good
Facility Services
The homestay consists of 3 accommodation areas with a total of 15 rooms, with its own restaurant and cafe (with touching scenery), and the outdoor swimming pool is open in summer. A week before check-in, the homestay team has arranged all aspects of details, and also helped us buy fireworks and light bonfires, which is really considerate and cute. The only downside is that the restaurant's taste is relatively single, which does not affect the overall experience
Some feelings
The Yellow River in spring and summer is beautiful and magnificent, while the Yellow River in autumn and winter is beautiful and lonely and vast. The scenery is different, but it is equally thrilling. In the canyon, you can see the world and yourself, only feeling proud or lost in the vast smoke and waves, because it is too naked to mention

The winter scenery of Baoquan Grand Canyon this year is highly anticipated, everywhere you go, you can hear the crunching sound of stepping on snow
The spectacular glacier waterfall in Baoquan Grand Canyon this year is worth looking forward to, everywhere you go, you can hear the crunching sound of stepping on snow, and the spectacular glacier waterfall creates a winter 'candy' scene in seconds. It's so beautiful, the winter beauty of Baoquan can't be hidden!
This "art park" is actually near the Joshua Tree, before the Grand Canyon. The reason I wrote him to the Grand Canyon was because I thought it was a life in the desert, just like the Grand Canyon.
The environment in the fortitude of the rough western United States has made me more beautiful than that. I also encountered a lot of interesting "garbage" in a desert outdoor sculpture park near the small villa where we live. These garbage are works that some people who love to create and re-enforce their lives by using waste garbage assembly. There is no fun and goodness in life, but these beautiful people need someone to do a little bit of deliberate management. Before I got here, the desert in my consciousness was only a dry and desolate feeling except for the sand. The trip and the various things I encountered on this road were the nectar that drenched my inner desert to make it soft and fresh.
