Avoid the crowds! 6 travel photography gems for stunning photos

Preface

The most important thing about travel is taking photos. Life only lasts 30,000 days, but how many of them are truly memorable? Take plenty of photos while traveling to capture those wonderful moments.
Life can be hectic, and travel can be hectic, but taking photos is essential for relaxation. Chinese people, who aim to create photos throughout their lives, adhere to one principle throughout their journey: If you're not here, it's a wasted trip!


I've sensed everyone's strong desire and responded to the demand for "enough fun, enough freedom, and enough photos." 📣📣📣 China-TravelNote · Travel Photography Tours are now online! Not only will you see the best scenery of your trip, but you'll also be photographed by top-notch photographers. Capture every photogenic moment of your journey with our travel photography team! Unlock life's highlights!

PART.02What is the difference between a travel photography group and a photography group?

Q1: What's the difference between a travel photography tour and a photography tour in terms of the tour leader?
A: A travel photography tour has a tour leader who is a photography expert, skilled at taking photos of the group members and will teach them how to take great photos with their phones. A photography tour has a tour leader who is a photography instructor, primarily providing photography instruction to help the group improve their photography skills.
Q2: What's the difference between a travel photography tour and a photography tour in terms of the itinerary?
A: A travel photography tour selects carefully selected locations for travel photography, appropriately focusing on light and shadow. The itinerary is relatively relaxed and focuses on the travel experience. A photography tour emphasizes golden light and shadow, may require early departures and late returns, and incorporates photographic themes such as the stars and humanities, striving for outstanding results
. Q3: How should I choose between a travel photography tour and a photography tour?
A: In short, if you want to capture more beautiful travel photos, then choose a travel photography tour. If you're more interested in learning more about photography techniques and capturing more stunning landscapes and humanities, then choose a photography tour!

PART.03 Travel with a photographer to make your trip more exciting

For our newly launched travel photography tours, we've selected several destinations as our featured offerings. The scenery along the way is full of surprises. Capture your image with a coffee cup gazing at the snow-capped mountains, a lantern as you walk through the hazy woods of a cabin, a gentle sniff of the geraniums in the bushes, or your barefoot footprints along the tidal flats...

01Gannan

Gannan, although not Tibet, is better than Tibet. It is located on the northeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It has extremely rich Tibetan culture and profound religious history. Every frame of the scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and the body does not have to endure the altitude sickness like in Tibet.


This itinerary combines the popular Rock Road experience, the hidden gem of Lianbaoyezhe, the flower-filled grasslands, Tibetan temples, and a hidden sunset spot. Explore the beauty of Gannan and discover a real-life magical world!
⭐️ The Gangjia Secret Area features a backdrop of blue skies and rolling mountains, with the Baishiya Temple, grasslands and wheat fields nearby, and sometimes even herds of cattle and sheep. Simply stop halfway up the slope to capture these moments!
⭐️ Visiting Labrang Monastery, we'll provide Tibetan clothing and makeup, allowing you to dress in local style and take photos at the prayer corridor. You can also follow the temple guides for an immersive experience in Tibetan Buddhist culture.
⭐️ Zhagana, nestled in the clouds, is a hidden paradise, with rapeseed flowers and wheat fields against the backdrop of Zhagana's dramatic peaks and tranquil villages. Capturing both people and scenery here will be even more impressive than from tourist-filled observation decks.


The Lianbaoyezhe Scenic Area, known in travel circles as the "Dolomites of the East," boasts unique peaks and rocks, glacial remains, and plateau lakes. In summer, a vibrant array of wildflowers blooms, and the winding roads create a picturesque atmosphere reminiscent of "Film 25" from the film "The Dreamers."

02Western Sichuan

Western Sichuan boasts not only exceptional natural beauty but also the rich cultural heritage of its nomadic peoples. Snow-capped mountains, meadows, forests, lakes, streams, guesthouse towns, Buddhist temples... A journey through western Sichuan reveals every breathtaking sight.


In the Shuangqiaogou Scenic Area, admire the snow-capped mountains up close, dotted with waterfalls and lakes of varying sizes. The reflections of the mountains in the lakes are breathtakingly beautiful.
Jiagenba is a serene paradise, brimming with barley fields, dotted with pure white flowers, and meandering streams, offering a truly relaxing experience.


⭐️The Secret Grassland Highway is specially arranged in summer. From June to August, the grassland is full of Gesang flowers, and cattle and sheep are scattered among them. If the weather is fine, the Yala and Gongga snow-capped mountains are clearly visible.


⭐️ Nestled at night in China-TravelNote Niubei Mountain Starry Sky Camp, I was completely captivated, both physically and mentally. Niubei Mountain is high, offering expansive views and far from light pollution. The lights in my tent contrast beautifully with the twinkling stars.
Who could resist summer in western Sichuan? Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush vegetation, and a sea of ​​wildflowers, this is a paradise several layers removed from the hustle and bustle of life, a place where breathtaking beauty abounds, ready to captivate.

03 Northwest

If you have the chance, don't miss the summer in the Northwest! Over the next few days, the waters of the Northwest's lakes will be buffed, transforming into God's palette, adding a variety of charming colors to the world. It's so romantic!


Every summer, rapeseed flowers bloom along the shores of Qinghai Lake, their golden sea of ​​blossoms intertwined with the azure waters to create a fairytale scene.
Chaka Salt Lake is a must-see attraction on the Northwest Loop. Its calm, mirror-like surface reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding mountains, reminiscent of a Hayao Miyazaki skyscape.
Of the many lakes in the Northwest, the most unforgettable are Da Qaidam Emerald Lake and Dongtai Jinaier Lake. Their pristine waters, bathed in sunlight, radiate a captivating "Tiffany blue," blending seamlessly with the clear blue sky.


⭐️ Explore Heidu Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain, two of the most popular mountaintops in the past two years. Heidu Mountain resembles a vivid ink painting, while Yanzhi Mountain resembles spilled blush. Each location has its own unique characteristics, perfect for capturing unique Northwest-style travel photography.


The horse's hooves crush the fragrant grass, and the wind blows past your ears, throwing your worries into the clouds. At this moment, the world is vast, and you, the snow-capped mountains, and the prayer flags have all become free lines of poetry.

04 Xinjiang

There's a saying: "If you haven't been to Yili, you haven't known the beauty of Xinjiang!" Plateaus, forests, deserts, lakes, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, wooden houses, pastures... these are almost the most beautiful scenery in the world.


⭐️We arranged a special car tour around Sayram Lake. Meadows were ablaze with blossoms, pearl-like yurts, snow-white sheep, and galloping horses. Wind-blown grasses rippled with low-lying clouds, creating a comic-like effect in every snap.
⭐️June is the peak bloom season at the lavender farm, where lavender stretches like a sea of ​​purple, and the air is filled with a lazy, sweet fragrance. Hair swaying in sync with the waves of blossoms, every frame a screenshot from a French romantic film.


Summer in Xiata is a palette lost to nature. Emerald meadows cascade down from the snow-capped peaks of Muzart, stretching into a rolling sea of ​​green. Quietly feel the rustling of the wind across the grasslands.
Stroll through Qiongkushitai, a fairytale forest hidden among the cloud pastures. This is a hidden village in the Tianshan Mountains. The July wind sweeps across the Tianshan ridgeline, spruce forests surge with dark green waves, and the wooden houses of Kazakh nomads seem scattered across the green carpet of the grasslands. Follow the stream in search of that fairytale forest.


May to August every year is the most beautiful season in Yili in summer. The emerald green grasslands, the endless snow-capped mountains, the beautiful sea of ​​flowers under the blue sky...all of them are fascinating.

Cuba

When you think of Cuba, what's the first image that comes to mind? Classic cars passing by ancient, majestic buildings? Or perhaps exploring Hemingway's footsteps and revisiting the story of "The Old Man and the Sea"?
No other country in history has matched Cuba's combination of economic poverty and cultural richness. Beneath its sometimes dilapidated facade, Cuba's rich cultural heritage continues to shine brightly.


⭐️Old Havana is one of Cuba's most famous tourist attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We'll tour the area in a vintage car, revealing its many preserved 18th-century architecture and urban planning, including palaces, churches, plazas, and streets.

⭐️We'll drive to Varadero, boasting 22 kilometers of white sandy beaches, one of the world's top ten. Enjoy the blue skies, white clouds, towering palm trees, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, teeming with fish and vibrant corals.
⭐️Trinidad, listed as one of the 100 "disappearing towns" on Earth, is a city steeped in history and legend, with Baroque and Neoclassical architecture lining its streets.


Enjoy five-star accommodations throughout the trip, including multiple nights of consecutive stays, and fully enjoy the slow pace of travel. Sip a mojito at the Five Cents Tavern and enjoy a lobster seafood dinner at a specialty restaurant.

Egypt

Egypt, a land steeped in millennia of culture and pharaonic legends, is a must-see destination! Pyramids, mummies, the Valley of the Kings, temples... a dazzling array of ancient heritage, the clear, emerald-blue Red Sea, and glimpses of this legendary world beneath the pyramids.


We'll allow ample time for photos and sightseeing at the Giza Pyramids, and we'll arrange a camel for your convenience, ensuring every tourist can capture stunning photos with the pyramids.
We'll then journey to Luxor, Egypt's temple city, where you'll be transported back through time, glimpsing the splendor of ancient Egypt. Each relief sculpture bears vivid witness to ancient Egyptian civilization, as if the pages of history, a thousand-year-old masterpiece, are unfolding beneath your feet.


El Gouna is a small, Arabian-style town on the Red Sea coast. On one side, it's nestled between the Sahara Desert and on the other, rocky reefs and azure waters, with seagulls soaring overhead. The sun shines year-round, and we'll arrange a Red Sea yacht excursion for snorkeling.
We'll also take you to Mena House, the pharaoh's gardens, for a leisurely lunch. The restaurant overlooks the pyramids, nestled next to a pond, offering breathtaking views.


Eight travel photography scenes in Egypt, paired with Egyptian-style costumes and props, make eating, drinking and having fun more exciting!
