Skip Sanya and take your kids to the Hexi Corridor for the Spring Festival. It's worth it!

Although Sanya, with an average winter temperature of 21°C, is a great place to take your kids, it is also a popular destination for people from all over China. 😦 Especially during the Spring Festival, if you don't have a well-planned itinerary, you may be disappointed. 🥹
Here's a popular winter destination with fewer people: Dunhuang. The most attractive part is the Hexi Corridor, which has fewer people and beautiful scenery. The attractions are not affected by the seasons. From December to March, most attractions offer free admission and many discounts. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for another half a year! ❗️ Here, you can learn about the thousand-year history of the Hexi Corridor, check in at the colorful Danxia landform 🌈, ride a camel 🐫 on the Mingsha Mountain, watch the sunrise 🌅 and stargaze ⭐ in the desert, and experience the Yangguan Pass in an immersive way...

🐫 Winter Hexi Corridor Notes:
1. It is windy and there is heating, so wear thermal underwear and a thick down jacket to keep warm.
2. The air is dry, so drink water in time and prepare lip balm and moisturizing skincare products.
3. It is not recommended to drive, especially in snowy weather, as the roads are slippery and it is difficult to know the road conditions, which is not safe.
