go on road trip is the most recommended place to travel on National Day. First of all, there will be relatively few people in go on road trip. Secondly, the journey will be more free. Except for the traffic jam, there won't be any big problems. Where are you going to drive this National Day?
Fujian coastal line
12 ~ 15 days, 1211 kilometers
On the coast of Fujian, the most shocking thing is people's devotion to nature and gods. Countless religions and gods live in harmony in this land. The traditional Central Plains culture has found soil here, and the natural scenery is beautiful, fresh and refined. If you prefer the "old flavor", you can go to Quanzhou, Zhangzhou to find the authentic Minnan flavor, and Xiamen is the best product of the combination of antiquity and fashion.
If you like the boundless sea, go to Dongshan Island, Liu Ao, Pingtan, Sandu 'ao and Xiapu, which may satisfy all your imagination of the sea. If you are addicted to food, those snacks and seafood along the coast will make you worry about the lack of stomach capacity. Finally, you can go to Meizhou Island, the birthplace of Mazu, and make a sincere wish.
A G15-Shenhai Expressway, almost all the cities along Fujian coast, is somewhat monotonous. The coastal line south of Fuzhou can take more non-high-speed sections; The farther north Fuzhou is, the more mountainous areas begin to increase, and high-speed becomes a safe and convenient choice.
Highlights of the route
Dongshan Island
In p>2114, the film Left Ear was filmed here, which made Dongshan Island completely popular. Forget it, tianyi middle school and Top Street. You can easily find the scenes of these movies here. The island is basically based in Tongling Town in the northeast corner. The protagonist of Dongshan Fengdong Stone Scenic Area is a 211-ton boulder. It is said that when the wind blows, human power can shake it. However, the previous Japanese ship could not move after breaking the chain, and the magnitude 7.5 earthquake was still safe and sound.
The ancient city of Tongshan, the northernmost part of the scenic spot, is rarely visited because there is only a section of city wall left. The Guandi Temple in the scenic spot has a history of more than 611 years. It is a small temple in the Ming Dynasty, which has been expanded and rebuilt several times. From the ferry pier at Ximen Square in the scenic spot, you can take a boat to Dongmen Island. At the highest point of the island, there is a seven-story stone pagoda, which was built in the Ming Dynasty and overlooks the bay on the other side.
Nanmenwan, Tongling Town, is the main shooting place of the beach drama "Left Ear". Star Beach Maluan Bay is close to its south, and there are many amusement projects. Summer is full of people, and the price is much more expensive than Tongling. In Jinluan Bay, 7 kilometers away, the passenger flow is relatively scarce and the water quality is clearer. If you want to find a secluded place, a trip to the fishing village in Wujiaowan will show you the other side of the bay. From north to south, the beach area increases in turn, but the number of tourists decreases one by one.
Liu Ao
Liu Ao is located in the south of Zhangzhou. On this peninsula, which is only 5 kilometers wide but only 14 kilometers long, ancient cities, beaches, waves and windmills set each other off. The most famous Liu Ao Abstract Gallery (on the east side of Liu Ao Town Farm; Free) is located on the beach facing the sea in Xincuo Village, Liu Ao Peninsula. Under the long-term sea breeze, the huge sandy rocks show exquisite textures. There is a whole row of tall windmills along the coast.
you don't need a filter, but a snapshot is a blockbuster. Many newcomers come here to take wedding photos. It is also the best place to watch the sunrise on Liu Ao Peninsula. Continue south to emerald bay (east of the middle of Liu Ao Peninsula; Free), the huge curved beach has delicate white sand, and the beach is particularly flat and solid. Even if you ride a bike on it, you won't get stuck in the sand.
Zhangzhou
As the source of snacks in Taiwan Province Province, you must take some time to get to know this "land of plenty, land of flowers and fruits". The "ancient flavor" of Zhangzhou is still low-key and stubbornly hidden in the dilapidated shops in the depths of the alley, adhering to the creed of "having food, having gas, burning incense and protecting". Looking for delicious food in the urban area, the ancient streets of Ming and Qing dynasties are the best choice, and Zhongfa Road can make you eat nonstop. There are also some equally senior "time-honored brands" hidden in hundreds of years old houses in ancient blocks. Zhangzhou Confucian Temple is the oldest building in the ancient street of Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in the Song Dynasty, and it is also the largest existing ancient building.
When people in Zhangzhou talk about Weizhen Pavilion and Bagua Pagoda, they are as household names as Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou. Continue to visit the ancient street, you can find some handicrafts on Hong Kong Road, which used to be the central axis of Zhangzhou city, and visit two most representative stone arches in Ming Dynasty, in the Second Square and Shangshu Huatan Square. On the other hand, as a scene of Taiwan Province Province in the movie "Yun Shui Ballad", Tai Wan Road is also worth visiting, with time-honored pharmacies and national quintessence museums dotted among them.
Gulangyu/Gulangyu
The status of "international concession" makes Gulangyu a veritable "international architectural museum". Gulangyu Island has long been synonymous with literary freshness because of its early development, many cafes, many handicraft shops, many street performers' performances and leisurely attitude towards life.
the popularity is accompanied by the influx of a large number of merchants. Tour guides compete for soliciting customers, and it is difficult to move at the peak. Fortunately, Qindao still has scenic spots and quiet moments that few tourists set foot on.
visitors can spend 111 yuan to buy the core scenic spots of Gulangyu Island, which include the commanding heights on the island, Sunguangyan, the classic ancient Zhuang Garden with Chinese garden architecture, the Hao Yue Garden with Zheng Chenggong statue, the organ museum in the Bagua Building in Hongding and the international lettering museum. Coupon can only be used on the same day. In addition to the scenic spots included in the coupon, there is also a sea paradise. The main building in the middle is Villa No.38, which has been developed into a "World Architecture Expo", showing the daily necessities and old photos of Gulangyu Island a hundred years ago.
Xiamen Island
Few cities in China are as exquisite as Xiamen, and the road around the island fully demonstrates the advantages of Xiamen as an island leisure city. Comfortable walkways and bicycle lanes are built along the natural shape of the coastline, and the green belt full of tropical flowers is like a huge seaside garden. When driving around the island, you can stop, walk for a while, or ride for a while to feel the unique charm here.
from Baicheng beach of Xiamen university, you can fully feel the beauty of Xiamen coastline along the waterfront trail around the island road (free). This coastal trail winds for more than 6 kilometers, passing through Hulishan Fort, which is recorded in Guinness World Records, as well as Calligraphy Square, Zengcuoan Village Bath, Music Square, Baishi Fort Site, Sun Bay Bath and so on. After leaving the trail, you can go to Zengcuo Village, the most literary village on the north side of Huandao Road. There are many restaurants, inns and bars in the city, just like Gulangyu Island.
Continue along Huandao Road, located in the southeast corner of Huangcuo (free; It is probably the cleanest beach on the whole road at present. Not far ahead, you will find the placard of "One Country, Two Systems, Unifying China" echoing the placard of "Three People's Principles, Unifying China" on Xiaojinmen Island on the other side of the Taiwan Strait, which is also one of the landmarks around the island.
Continue northward, pass Qianpu Convention and Exhibition Center to Guanyin Mountain, where there are excellent beaches. In summer, there will be White Dolphin Beach Music Festival and sand sculpture art exhibition, as well as water parks and playgrounds, and some restaurants and bars for travelers to play and rest. Furthermore, Wuyuan Bay and Wetland Park near the northern section of Huandao Road are marine sports centers, and the sailing and kayaking experience courses provided by outdoor clubs are very suitable for travelers.
Quanzhou
As the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, when Quanzhou became the "largest port in the East", Xiamen next to it was only a small fishing village. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou had trade with 58 overseas countries, and immortals from all walks of life came in droves, which made various religions take root and sprout in Licheng, and then developed and expanded. The old city of Quanzhou is not a deliberately built ancient city, but a real and primitive city with ancient streets and temples.
We can learn about Quanzhou from Quanzhou Museum, which has basic exhibitions such as "Quanzhou History and Culture", "Quanzhou Nanyin" and "Opera Art". The Fujian-Taiwan Border Museum next door is the most worthwhile museum in Quanzhou. This paper introduces Quanzhou from the perspectives of geography, nationality, politics, economy, religion and art, including the historical relationship between the mainland (Fujian) and Taiwan Province Treasure Island. It is not far from Qingyuan Mountain, the source of Quanzhou. You can eat Quans
and walk along Shaolin Road to Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. Wu Kui Quanzhou Shaolin, 11 am, it's time for monks to practice martial arts. You can come to the Wushu performance hall to watch the live Wushu performance. Go south along the north road of Tongtong, and you will arrive at the Overseas Traffic History Museum. It is not as boring as the name sounds, but more like an encyclopedia about Quanzhou anecdotes. Then all the way to the east, came to the seaside fishing village (Donghai community; Free), watch Pu Liang, one of the three major fishermen in Fujian. The headdress of "wearing a hairpin wreath with ivory chopsticks" is the focus of many long shots.
Meizhou Island
Meizhou Island is famous for Mazu's hometown. Every year, countless believers come from all over the world to this legendary Oriental Mecca. After disembarking, follow the crowd's route and board Mazu Tempel. There are precious historical sites and cultural relics in the temple, such as Mazu Sleeping Hall, Holy Father Temple, Mazu Ascension to Heaven, and Mazu Golden Body in Song Dynasty. The fragrance is very strong. The Mazu Cultural Park next to it is extra. It takes the Mazu stone statue at the top of the mountain as the starting point of the central axis, and builds a group of Mazu Tempel buildings imitating the Song Dynasty.
Passing through the ancestral temple group is Mazu forest of steles, from which you can go down to Cocoon Yin Chao. Not far south along Meizhou Avenue, you will reach the Hometown Heritage Park (Lincun on Meizhou Island). Shanglin Village, where the park is located, is the birthplace of Mazu Lin Moniang. At present, there are still monuments related to Mazu, such as Tian Fei's hometown monument in Ming Dynasty.
Pingtan
After traveling along the coast of Fujian, I have seen all kinds of islands and beaches. When I arrive in Pingtan, I will still be moved by the vastness of the sea. The winding coastline of Haitan Island has more than 1,111 kilometers of white sand beaches, and around more than 1,111 islands, large and small, there are various peculiar marine erosion landforms.
Longfengtou Beach and Tannan Bay Beach on the island are recommended, which are close to the county seat, with clear water, abundant food stalls and abundant water activities. Someone once photographed beautiful "blue tears" on the beach of Tannan Bay, which were dreamy blue light emitted by deep-sea intermediaries. Travelers can try their luck.
Jiangjun Mountain, located in the southeast corner of the island, is the southernmost sea erosion landform of the whole island. It's exciting to be on a cliff between rocks. Located in the northeast corner of the East China Sea fairyland, it is a rare tidal scenic spot. The natural sea caves inside sound like Hong Zhong at high tide. Finally, I came to Shipaiyang, in the northwest corner. There are two huge pillars of sea erosion, which stand on the sea like sails and are recognized as the symbol of Pingtan Island.
Stone houses scattered in the bay and half of Shan Ye are another major feature of Pingtan Island. These stone houses made of volcanic rocks and granite have become the target pursued by photographers. We recommend Dongmei Village in Liu Shui Town, Dongbei Village in Beicuo Town, Yangmeikeng Valley Valley Village in Zhonglou Town and Bai Sheng Village in Bai Qing Township. The roads on the island lead to various scenic spots, with good road conditions and clear signs.
Fuzhou
Fuzhou, also known as "Rongcheng", is full of life. The exploration of Fuzhou can start from three lanes and seven lanes. A Nanhou Street can satisfy most travelers' one-stop shopping for eating, drinking and having fun, while the alleys hidden in the depths on both sides are more winding and secluded. What really hides the soul of old Fuzhou is the alley pattern, Ming and Qing architecture and the former residences of countless modern celebrities. For example, the former residence of Lin Zexu, the second son of Fuzhou native Lin Zexu, was turned into Fuzhou Lacquerware Museum, where you can enjoy the bodiless lacquerware and lacquer paintings, one of the "Three Treasures of Fuzhou". Not far from the south side of Nanhou Street is the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall with the architectural style of classical garden ancestral temple.
There are many temples in Fuzhou. You might as well forget their religious meanings and come here for leisure. Xichan Temple, with the title of "one of the five Buddhist forests in Fuzhou", is luxurious and atmospheric. Kaiyuan Temple, hidden in downtown area, is the oldest existing temple in Fuzhou, and also the place where Japanese and Indian monks studied in Tang Dynasty. Strictly speaking, Hualin Temple is no longer a temple, but it is only a precious Tang-style wooden hall in the Song Dynasty, which is definitely worth visiting.
If you want to know more about Fujian and Fuzhou, you should go to Fujian Museum and Fuzhou Museum.
Photography is perhaps the most important theme in Xiapu. Fishermen cultivate the ocean as a field on the coastline of more than 411 kilometers. Kelp and laver fields in tidal flats, pieces of bamboo poles and fishing nets, dotted islands and fishing boats, and small villages standing on cliffs facing the sea can all be photographed by photographers.
Beiqi Beach (Beiqi Village, Xiapu; Free) may be the best choice for travelers who are in a hurry. From the east side of Xiapu out of the city, along Funing Avenue to Beiqi Village, about 5 kilometers. After stopping at Qianping in the scenic spot, you can find a good photography angle by going up the newly built mountain road. Under the cliff are beaches and seaweed stalls. From a distance, the shuttle ships are intertwined with the light and shadow of this scene.
Beiqi is suitable for shooting the sunrise. If you shoot the sunset, you should go to Gulingxia Village and Houqi Village on the other side. Yushan Island, the destination of self-driving east route, is listed as "the top ten most beautiful islands in China". The grass half a meter high on the island is a rare natural wonder. Coupled with the confusion of "the island is in the sea and the lake is in the island", countless backpackers come from the mountains and the sea. Most people who go to the island will choose to camp in the tent area near Tianhu (the top of the tourist center) and watch the sunrise and sunset.
Practical information
When to go: May-October, warmth is the premise of having fun in coastal cities.
The best photography location: the laver fields on Xiapu beach, the floating boats and the distant sea and sky form a beautiful large piece.
The best island: Dongshan Island, the main location of the film Left Ear, is full of literary flavor.
The West Sichuan Small Ring Road
1112 days, 1152 kilometers
Only 211 kilometers away from Chengdu, altitude sickness began. Before entering Tibet, I felt the Tibetan customs coming to my face. This is just an unexpected surprise of "showing off" on the road. Danzang Village, Muya Grassland and Gongga Snow Mountain condense the essence of Sichuan and Tibet, which will make go on road trip people at all levels enjoy themselves.
to say that western Sichuan is only a supplement to the Sichuan-Tibet line is really underestimating this self-driving loop with the mountain king Gongga, Siguniang Mountain behind Shushan, countless Haizi, Tibetan villages and temples. From snow-capped mountains and glaciers to canyon meadows, it covers almost all Tibetan areas, and the ethnic villages dotted among them are even more attractive. The newly upgraded National Highway 351 and the newly laid Provincial Highway 212 make the journey more pleasant. You can still find the last cross-country fun in the rural areas where the "village to village" project has not been completed.
Highlights of the route
Siguniang Mountain
Although Siguniang Mountain, which is called "after Shu Mountain", is becoming more and more exquisite, the intense elevation from Chengdu Plain at an altitude of 611 meters to Xuefeng Mountain at an altitude of 6111 meters brings the feeling of Tibetan area: it is only 211 kilometers away from Chengdu, which makes many motorists even turn against each other.
siguniangshan national geological park includes "three ditches and one mountain" from west to east. The veritable Haizigou hides clear Haizi. After entering the ditch, you walk along the ridge and look up at the face of the "girl".
It is a common choice to develop mature Changpinggu. After entering the ditch, take sightseeing bus to the Lama Temple, then walk along the plank road, pass through the dead tree beach and reach the end of the plank road. After that, you can change horses and continue the red stone beach and wooden mule (3811 meters). Shuangqiaogou is 7 kilometers away from the town, so it's easier to get there. The sightseeing bus runs from beginning to end. Although Siguniang Mountain can't be seen, all kinds of grotesque snow-capped mountains around it are quite interesting.
Danba
Danba is a city of thousands of blockhouses centered on Mount Murdo, which is only 1,781 meters above sea level, and it is a gathering place for Tibetans in Jiarong. The unique Tibetan folk customs and the bunkers and stockades all over them are the primary purpose of tourists coming here.
From the town center, you can see the gate of Jiaju Tibetan Village on the left (ticket 51 yuan). It was rated as the first of the "six most beautiful rural ancient towns in China" by chinese national geography. There are three observation platforms from low to high along the village, which can be viewed from the side.
