Taizijian, with an altitude of 1,558 meters, is the essence of the three peaks in western Zhejiang. Starting from the ridge line and heading towards Zhongmaxiao, at a glance, you can see layers of mountains and dormant hills, and the skyline seems to be right in front of you!
At night, we count the stars together and chat under the bright starry sky. Occasionally, a shooting star streaks across the sky. Let’s quickly put our hands together and make a wish!
Waiting for the sunrise is also something to look forward to. The light of the sunrise shines on the mountains, and the sea of clouds rolls, making it difficult to distinguish whether it is clouds or mountains. It is warm and quiet. Isn’t this the life we yearn for?

At the hidden source of the Fuchun River, there is a Jiangnan secret place that has not yet been "debuted". Here you can find an art gallery that won an American architecture award. The gallery is filled with stunning art works and the Sanlian Bookstore. It is worth spending an afternoon there!

Go to Meicheng Ancient Town, climb the city tower to see the confluence of three rivers and the strange fog on Xin'an River. In the old streets, the atmosphere of New Year's fireworks is strong. Walk through the streets and alleys to experience "Meicheng on the tip of the tongue".
On winter nights, we sit around the campfire, roasting oranges, boiling red wine, listening to music and the crackling of the campfire, and feeling the long-lost sense of relaxation with a group of interesting people.

The isolated and quiet forest is a good medicine to soothe the fatigue of the city. You can move freely in the camp and occasionally come across a hunter's cabin decorated with snowflakes and bells.
The rime covering the trees reflects the winter sunlight in a variety of colors, and together with the bright white snow around them, it creates a beautiful winter fairy tale scene.
Snowball fights, skiing, winter camping, Yuntai prayers, hot New Year’s Eve dinners, lucky red envelopes, you can encounter these little beauties at any time during the New Year in Daming Mountain!
Whisper: From now until the end of the snow season, campers get unlimited ski passes! Never be bored in winter again!

The snow scene of Niubei Mountain is even more unique. The sky and the earth are covered with a vast expanse of white. Looking into the distance, you can see rolling mountains and majestic and beautiful snow-capped mountains. It is very easy to take pictures!

What's the perfect way to celebrate the New Year without ascending a mountain to pray for blessings? Guanyin Mountain is perpetually shrouded in mist, its silver-white windmills juxtaposed against the azure sea, blue sky, beaches, and wetlands, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
There is a bell for meditation in the morning, a drum for nourishing the nature in the evening, and a Guanyin Temple on the mountain, which is a rare place for Buddhism.
Yanzhou Island, also known as Dazhou Island, is named after its abundant raw salt. The island still retains its original fishing and farming life, and little is known about it.

No need to travel all the way to Northeast China to enjoy the ice and snow! Not far from Beijing, there is an irreplaceable snow resort - the Ulan Butong Bashang Grassland.
In winter, the Bashang grassland is covered in silver. "Suddenly, as if a spring breeze came overnight, thousands of pear trees blossomed." Under the sunlight, the white snow changes into strange lights and shadows, which makes people's heart beat fast.
The unfrozen rivers and water grass towers are covered with white snow buns of various shapes. When the water vapor gets cold, it condenses to form tree hangings that are neither ice nor snow. This is also a very rare natural wonder.
The unique grassland landscape has earned it the title of "Off-Road Mecca." During the day, we took an off-road vehicle through the snowy forest, experienced alpine snow tubing, and drifted on the glacier, accompanied by a surge of adrenaline and screams.
At night, we enjoyed a delicious grassland hot pot meal, made dumplings together, lit a bonfire and set off fireworks, and felt the strong northern New Year atmosphere!
