Live Your Best Lives
After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, it feels like June has officially begun. During this holiday, did you go with everyone to see the "sea of people"?
This morning I saw the "2022 Dragon Boat Festival Travel Data" released by OTA, which showed that the total order volume for Dragon Boat Festival increased by more than 30% compared with Qingming Festival, and "some tourism industries have exceeded the same period in 2019." The 2022 that the entire tourism industry has been looking forward to is coming back!

The country is accelerating the resumption of interprovincial travel, many areas are eliminating nucleic acid test certificate requirements, and Shanghai tourism is experiencing a turning point. The National Health Commission also emphasized at a press conference yesterday: "Do not arbitrarily impose restrictions on people from low-risk areas, and resolutely prevent a one-size-fits-all approach." As good news piles up, half of 2022 has slipped away unnoticed. With favorable policies, it's time to put travel plans on the agenda! Hurry and plan a trip before the heat and rain arrive!
The 20 best places to visit in June are all listed below, it’s time to go!
In early June, the lavender fields of Huocheng, Xinjiang, made their grand entrance. Across the vast fields, an endless sea of blue-purple blossoms swayed like waves in the wind, carrying bursts of refreshing floral fragrance.
Huocheng is one of the three largest lavender planting bases in the world. This sea of purple flowers has been blooming in the Western Regions for half a century.
The flower language of lavender is "waiting for the arrival of love". Just like its flower language, this romantic sea of purple flowers is also waiting for your arrival.
Lujiang Village is located in the eastern mountainous area of Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, across the river from North Korea.
Although Lujiang Village is small, its scenery is very diverse. Sunrise, sunset, fishing lights, and sea of clouds are the best manifestations of pure and unspoiled natural scenery.

It has both the grandeur of the north and the elegance of the south. Here you can also enjoy the scenery of both countries and the timeless beauty of the two rivers.

The scenery of Lujiang Village can be described as "cars driving on the road and people traveling in the painting". Because of its beautiful scenery and pleasant views, it is praised by tourists and photographers as "the first village in Liaodong" and "Shangri-La in Northeast China", and also has the reputation of "natural oxygen bar".
Everyone has a childhood dream. Do you still remember catching loaches and fireflies in the countryside when you were a child?
Moganshan has superior forest resources, and the Moganshan Fluorescent Water Forest is a forest composed of Metasequoia glyptostroboides.
From June to September every year, the fluorescent water forest in Moganshan transforms into a fairytale world. Rain or shine, you can see fireflies dancing in the night sky.
Moganshan also has a wide variety of flora and fauna, and you can encounter butterflies, damselflies, tadpoles, frogs, mantises, katydids and other small insects. The nature teacher will explain their living habits and characteristics, so that children can better understand these creatures in nature.
In addition to admiring fireflies, you can also visit the Forest Fluorescent Creative Market to enrich your Midsummer Night’s Dream!
The name of Flower and Bird Island alone is beautiful. It is named after its shape which resembles a seagull spreading its wings to fly. The island is full of flowers and plants and has beautiful forests and valleys.
Huaniao Island is located in Shengsi County, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province. Together with Goji Island, it is the two small islands closest to the East China Sea in China. The TV series "Ode to Joy 2" was also filmed here.
The azure sea, fine sand, and blue and white buildings evoke a romantic, seaside charm reminiscent of Santorini. At the northern end, a century-old lighthouse, built in 1870, has survived years of war.
Because the number of people going to the island is limited, there will never be a crowd here, and the original tranquility and peace are preserved. Go there to listen to the waves and feel the sea breeze, and all your worries will disappear.
June is the peak season for blue tears blooming on the island. The quiet deep sea under the starry sky is as beautiful as a dream. You can take your time and enjoy the slow life on the island.
May to June is the most beautiful season in Wugong Mountain, with green meadows, rising clouds and bright stars.
If you were born in a southern city, the tranquil green mountains in the distance, nestled between buildings, will always evoke a desire to walk and explore the mountains. Here are grasslands, seas of clouds, and a green gem that has fallen into the mortal world.
Wugong Mountain encompasses the unique alpine grassland scenery at the same latitude in the world. It has different stunning scenery throughout the year and is worth your trip.
From beginners to the most advanced outdoor enthusiasts, there are various routes for you to choose from.
June is a rare month in the year when you can see the perfect "Water-filled Dragon Ridge". When the terraces are filled with water, the layers of terraces are sparkling. If there is morning mist and morning glow, it will be even more beautiful.
Under the backlight, the layers of terraces show rich layers of lines, which is a good opportunity to take great photos.
June is still the misty season in Guilin, and we have a high probability of seeing the misty Lijiang River that is like the landscape paintings we read about in books when we were young.
The clear Li River, the spring-filled pastoral scenery on both sides, the hazy fog and the karst peaks, this is the most beautiful time of the year in Guilin.
Did you know that in western Sichuan, there are also stunning grasslands that rival those in Inner Mongolia? Every June and July, the Ruoergai grasslands transform into a sea of flowers, lush grasses, herds of cattle and sheep, and dotted with tents.
The Ruoergai Grassland, located in Ruoergai County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is one of the three major wetlands in my country.
One of the most iconic attractions on the Ruoergai Grassland is the First Bend of the Nine-Bend Yellow River, where you can enjoy a magnificent sunset over the grassland.
You can visit the secret Huahu Lake by the lake on the prairie and enjoy a Tibetan afternoon tea in the tent. The delicious hand-pulled beef, monk buns, tsampa, butter tea and barley wine will leave a special taste in your heart!
It is the season when bayberries are on the market. In addition to Xianju, the bayberries in Shangyu, Shaoxing are also very famous!
The best variety is the Yangjiaxi variety, which was once a tribute in the Qing Dynasty. The deep red variety has a medium-sized fruit with a bright red surface, is juicy and delicious, and has a sweet and sour taste.
Crystal bayberry, commonly known as white bayberry, has a medium-sized fruit with a white or light yellow surface, a slight blush, and a shiny texture. The flesh is soft, delicate, juicy, sweet and sour, and has a special fragrance.
Besides picking bayberries, you can also visit the Cao'e River in Shangyu and the China Filial Piety Garden. This scenic area is inspired by the ancient sage Emperor Yu Shun, whose "filial piety moved heaven," and Cao'e, the Eastern Han Dynasty daughter who threw herself into the river to save her father, and promotes the spirit of filial piety that has been passed down for thousands of years.
June is the season when the much-anticipated Duku Highway opens to traffic. According to official announcements, the entire line was opened to trial traffic on June 1.
The 561-kilometer Duku Highway, starting from Dushanzi, an oil city in northern Xinjiang, and ending at Kuche, the ancient kingdom of Qiuci, runs through southern and northern Xinjiang, crossing the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains and shortening the once 1,000-kilometer loop by half.
The picturesque Tangbula Grassland, the beekeepers' Nalati Grassland, the golden sunset of Bayinbuluke...
The scenery along the way was like a movie camera constantly switching, from wild flowers all over the mountains to snow all over the sky, going through the four seasons in one day.
Balangshengdu is located in Tagong Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, at an altitude of 4,200 meters. It is a tranquil and beautiful ecological and natural ancient village with abundant resources, clear skies and waters, a pleasant climate, and fresh air.
Balangshengdu is also a new 360° snow mountain viewing platform in western Sichuan, and is known as the "pasture closest to the sky."
Standing here, you can take in the panoramic views of Gongga and Yala Snow Mountains, which sparkle in the sun. Every sunset, the entire mountain range turns pink, and the clouds transform into a fairyland.
The Chaka Salt Lake is located in Golmud City, Qinghai Province. It is the largest salt lake in China with a total area of 5,856 square kilometers.
A hard salt cap has formed on the salt lake, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and Qinghai-Tibet Highway passing through this area are both built directly on the salt cap.
The vast expanse of transparent green is truly refreshing, and the white salt layer at the bottom of the lake makes the water even more transparent.
White Thousand Island salt flowers are scattered all over the lake, like lace ribbons, dividing the green into different shades, presenting beautiful Chinese colors.
Niubei Mountain is located at the junction of Ya'an City, Sichuan Province and Luding County, Ganzi Prefecture. The top of the mountain is 3,666 meters above sea level. Due to its magnificent and beautiful natural scenery, it has become an outdoor holy place in the hearts of countless hikers.
Niubei Mountain has six unique sights: sea of clouds, sunrise, Gongga Snow Mountain, starry sky, azalea flowers, and 360° snow mountain viewing platform.
On Niubei Mountain, you can enjoy the views of Gongga Snow Mountain, Siguniang Mountain, Emei Mountain, Jiajin Mountain, and Wawu Mountain at the same time... Every June, the mountain is covered with pink rhododendrons blooming above the sea of clouds on Niubei Mountain. The snow-capped mountains and the sea of clouds complement each other, which is particularly charming!

On the vast Tagong grasslands, the sacred Yala Mountain rises majestically, the Tagong Monastery stands majestically, and the Muya Golden Pagoda gleams in the sun.
Buddhist temples, white pagodas, grasslands and snow-capped mountains form a beautiful plateau scenery.
Because this road is painted with rainbow lines, it is also known as the "Rainbow Avenue" in western Sichuan.
Snow-capped mountains accompany you along the way, and the two sacred mountains of Gongga and Yala complement each other. Herds of cattle and sheep dot the grasslands, and the curls of smoke rising from the herdsmen's tents give this place infinite vitality.
Overlooking the entire Jiangba grassland from the end of the road, and looking back at the Rainbow Highway, it seems like a sky road leading from the human world to the sacred mountain fairyland.
If you can’t go to Nianbao Yuze, let’s go to Lianbaoyezhe! Located in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, Nianbao Yuze, the “backyard of the gods,” is a “twin” born on both sides of the same mountain range and is also a fairyland.
Every early summer in June, the holy lake and the foot of the mountain are flooded with flowers, and the lake is blue. Although there are not flowers blooming everywhere like Nianbao Yuze, there are still green grass and dotted with flowers, just like a girl who is ignorant of the world, pure and beautiful.
Lianbaoye has many beautiful lakes, with more than 300 small lakes scattered across the area. The most beautiful of them all is the scenic spot's signature lake, Zhagar Co, which combines majestic, tragic, and beautiful scenery.
The filming location for the movie "The Promise," Dujuan World, is hidden in the mountains about an hour's drive from Shangri-La County. Dotted with lakes, the area is known locally as "Thousand Lakes Mountain."
Every June, thousands of lakes are connected, and there is nothing but lush pristine jungle.
There are also dwarf rhododendrons all over the mountains, herdsmen, blue sky, cattle and sheep, and thousands of acres of flowers, all of which make people wonder whether this is the real human world.
Do you know where the Yellow River's true "yellow" color is achieved? There is a longest continuous canyon on the main stream of the Yellow River, which borders Lüliang on the left and northern Shaanxi on the right. 56% of the Yellow River's sediment intake comes from this canyon.
This is the Shanxi-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, known as one of the "Ten Most Beautiful Canyons in China".
The Yellow River enters Shanxi from Laoniuwan at Pianguan and flows out at Yumenkou, cutting deep into the heart of the Loess Plateau.
The contest between water and stone has created the magical, beautiful and majestic Yellow River Gallery.
There is an ethereal place in Gansu that few tourists visit. Locals call it "Gangjia Secret Land." It is the most complete and mysterious place of miracles.
Looking out at the Bajiao Ancient City from the observation deck, the vast grassland stretches into the distance, and at the end of the earth is a huge canyon that reaches into the sky.
In June, a sea of unknown flowers adds a touch of color to the meadow. You'll also see Hequ horses, yaks, and marmots, and occasionally, you'll spot a marmot foraging nearby.
Most people who come to Haba Snow Mountain come to climb the snow-capped mountains, which makes many people overlook the beautiful scenery of hiking on the west slope.
The nearby Haba Snow Mountain, the cliffs with strange rocks, the undisturbed meadows, and the flowers blooming in June make the west slope hiking line as beautiful as Yubeng.
Wugong in the south, Taibai in the north. Taibai Mountain is the highest peak east of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Measure the Chinese Dragon's Backbone with your feet and challenge the 3762.2m mark.
The river is filled with mist, the distant mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, the valley is quiet, and the blooming rhododendrons in thousands of acres are in brilliant colors, which contrast with the sea of clouds on the mountain tops, adding infinite vitality to the green mountains.
Climbing to the top of the Qinling Mountains, watching the sea of clouds and mist, and becoming one with the world is a wonderful life experience.
