Almost no one in Raohe, Heilongjiang will regard this place as a travel destination. I went to Fuyuan (the easternmost part of China) from Harbin, and then along the Wusuli River to Mudanjiang. Raohe River is a small town along the Wusuli River on the Sino-Russian border. I only stayed here for a day and a half, but I was impressed.
I was received here by a little girl Cui and her father. Uncle Cui, a local photographer, took me to photograph the beautiful wetlands in Raohe River, the windmills and starry sky in Dadingzi Mountain, the beautiful morning fog and the traditional Hezhe culture. I am shocked that a border town can have such rich scenery.
Beautiful wetlands outside the city.
Raohe, like many cities on the Sino-Russian border, is a building with a Russian dome, which looks and feels good at night.
After dinner, we set off for Dading Mountain to shoot the starry sky. Dading Mountain is a pot-shaped mountain on the Sino-Russian border. There are 25 wind turbines on this mountain, and there is an observation deck on the top of the mountain, which is a good place to shoot the starry sky.
Because of the time difference, it is actually very hard to get up early to shoot the sunrise in Heilongjiang. . . The sun rose too early, so I got up at 3: 30 to photograph the sunrise.
Uncle Cui said that it is easy to get morning fog because of the wetlands here. When we set out, we saw morning fog floating on the Wusuli River. How lucky! Uncle Cui took us to the tower of the post to shoot the sunrise. I was shocked as soon as I came up. The winding rivers and distant mountains are misty and beautiful!
Soon, the sun came out and lit up the morning fog. The earth is like a shy bride, unveiling the golden veil.
After a while, the clouds actually produced the Tindal effect, which is simply the greatest reward given by nature.
The dark clouds gradually came down and the golden light slowly disappeared, but we all put the most beautiful clarity under the lens.
The place where I went to shoot was the post in Raohe County, which was inaccessible to ordinary people, but there was also an observation deck by the river where I could take pictures. If you want to go, you can ask the locals and get a panoramic view.
After breakfast in the city, Uncle Cui took me to Sipai Hezhe Township nearby, where you can see Hezhe, one of the smallest ethnic minorities in China.
Hezhe nationality is a minority with a long history in the northeast of China, which originated from the Nuzhen Hezhe tribe in the East China Sea. Mainly distributed in Tongjiang City, Raohe County and Fuyuan County of Heilongjiang Province. At present, there are only over 5,000 people in China. As for the most famous Hezhe nationality among young people at present, it is Han Gengba who went to Smecta and came back.
Sipai Hezhe Township is located on the west bank of Wusuli River in the northeast of Raohe County, facing Russia across the river. At present, the main development of tourism, with ethnic customs parks, exhibition halls and other attractions.
Uncle Cui knows many villagers here. When we came to the square in Sipai Township, the villagers were really rehearsing a fishing dance. Hezhe people have been fishing for a living since ancient times and have a long history of fishing culture.
When the local township head heard that we were coming, he invited the Hezhe shaman to dance traditional dances for me. He put on his antlers hat and hung up his musical instrument, and danced with the sun drum in the Wusuli River, feeling that the long history was covered and shaking the water of the Wusuli River.
After the dance, the township head and shaman also took us to visit the Hezhe Cultural Park and told us their stories. There are many things they used before in the museum. This suit is made entirely of fish skin. They say that this kind of clothing is very similar to Eskimo clothing, so it is likely to be the same as Eskimo ancestors.

Baoyu in Qinghai is a famous place in the eyes of landscape photographers, but most tourists are not familiar with it. Located at the junction of Qinghai and Sichuan, it has a high status in the hearts of local Tibetans. It consists of countless peaks with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, with the main peak at an altitude of 5,369 meters. The two main scenic spots of Yuze Scenic Spot in Nianbao are Fairy Lake and Demon Lake. From the entrance of the scenic spot, you can see the whole Fairy Lake scenic spot. Generally, tourists only visit Fairy Lake, and lamas and local Tibetans often come to make a pilgrimage to turn to the lake. It takes 3-5 hours to walk to Yaonv Lake, which requires some perseverance and physical strength. Walking through the whole scenic spot requires crossing two passes of 4350 meters and 4550 meters, and you also need to bring your own tent and dry food. Every July, flowers are everywhere at the foot of Nian Baoyu Mountain, and the snow peaks are reflected in the lake, and the mountains are misty, just like a paradise.
This is the first time we saw Nian Baoyuze in the distance when we drove to Yamaguchi. If Animaqing is described as magnificent, then Nian Baoyu is "handsome". He stood there quietly, like a prince in white. The model here is @ Helan Qiao Yue.
Driving into the scenic spot, at the end of the cement road, through the broken iron gate, Nianhu Yushan Lake just comes into view. The grass here has always been famous for its wild flowers in summer, but when you see the sun shining on the grass and the snow-covered mountains behind it, it still looks good.
After the sun went down, we walked back contentedly. We had planned to live in the nearest county, but the sky turned dark. We saw a cloudless sky and several stars in Wan Li. We decided to stay here tonight!
There was only one family in Baoyu in the whole year, and it was Tibetan. There are several tin houses and 80 rooms, burning cow dung to keep warm. Because it is powered by a generator, the power supply can only reach 12, and there is no running water. The host gave us a bucket of water and a bucket of cow dung so that we could spend the night here. At 2: 30, I got dressed, packed my equipment with a flashlight and prepared to go out. The moment you open the door, there are stars all over the sky, in addition to the chilly cold, which is really like the sky with diamonds and velvet. Yinhe Hongqiao is erected overhead and extends to the other side of Nianbaoyuze.
We walked to the lake with flashlights. The plank road and the grass are covered with frost and shine under the flashlight. There is nothing but starlight. The world outside the flashlight was dark until we reached the lake-the river bank was on the peak, the water surface formed a perfect reflection, and the world was silent.
I asked Qiao Yue to stand on a stone in the water, but the stone was too small. She was still wet and her skirt was wet. By the time we finished filming, her skirt was frozen and she was clicking when she walked.
When the filming was finished, the shoes were all wet, people were frozen, the tripod was all frosted, and a little light slowly appeared in the sky, taking a deep breath of cold air, thanking Nian Baoyu for giving us perfection.
When I left Baoyuze, I took a photo of the Tibetan couple. They have been waiting for this sacred mountain all the year round.

The Hulunbeier Root River in Inner Mongolia is not an unpopular destination for most people, but everyone's impression of it is basically a vast prairie. In fact, Hulunbeier is half grassland and half forest. There is a place called Genhe deep in the forest, which is the most attractive place on this road.
Genhe River is located in the north of Hulunbeier, where there are well-preserved wetlands, large birch forests and mysterious Oruguayan reindeer tribes. It is the coldest pole in China in winter, with pure and beautiful rime and ice-free rivers, which can be said to have multiple forest experiences.
My favorite reindeer tribe in Genhe is Aoluguya, a mysterious Ewenki tribe hidden in the depths of Daxinganling. Ewenki is the only ethnic group that raises reindeer in China. Now some tribes are open to tourists. This tribe still maintains a good sense of forest. Deer and deer wander in the depths of the forest, very docile, eating moss leisurely in the forest, the sun illuminates the hairy antlers, and the smoke fills the air behind them. It's a dream.
Far away, I heard the tinkling bells hanging around the deer's neck. The deer here are used to people watching it. They are carefree and don't shy away from touching it. It's so cute-but be careful of the big horns on their heads when they shake their heads.
The garden sells reindeer food-moss. We can buy a basket for deer to eat, but when we arrived, deer and deer were actually fed by others. When we saw other tourists chasing them, we didn't eat them. Finally, we gave up the idea.
The houses here are made of birch bark, which is a traditional material of Ewenki nationality and is called Cuozi. Many Ewenki daily necessities were exhibited.
Because I like Genhe so much, I have been here once in summer, autumn and winter, and I also brought a bunch of girls to hahaha.
In autumn, the forest is covered with golden yellow, and in winter, it is covered with white snow. The root river is also very good in winter. There is the coldest "cold village" in China, and the lowest temperature in China appears here, at MINUS 66 degrees. Of course, this is an extreme temperature, and the average temperature in winter is MINUS 30 degrees (sneer). At low temperature, there will be very beautiful rime. My friends and I will go crazy when we see the rime. Although it is cold outside, we still don't want to leave. When it is cold, we will go back to the car and hide for a while before going down.
There is also a magical phenomenon in extremely cold places. Rivers will not freeze. Generally, rivers freeze at MINUS 30 degrees, but due to the drainage of the nearby heating system, the water temperature rises, and rivers will not freeze under alternating cold and hot. Frozen rivers are foggy, just like fairyland.

For China people, the familiar Japanese hot spring resorts are Hakone-CHO and Hokkaido. However, when doing the raiders, I learned that Kyushu in the south is the most concentrated place of Japanese hot springs, and Buyuan Hot Springs occupy the top five of the top 100 hot springs all the year round. In addition to hot springs, it is still a very quiet small and medium-sized mountain city, maintaining the style of the Meiji era, which is very worth experiencing.
When I changed trains from Oita to step out of the park, it was the rush hour after school. Dresses and school uniforms crowded the carriages. When I got off from Buyuan, the wind chimes on the platform jingled in the night to welcome me as a strange guest. In this sound, I traveled from a city full of uniforms to a hot spring town in the Meiji era.
The hot springs in Yubuyuan come from nearby Yubuyue, and the hot spring water is colorless and transparent, so large and small hot spring hotels are all over the foothills. Due to the large area of hot springs, ordinary families are also using hot springs. You must experience the hot spring hotel and the local birthday pot when you come here!
After eating, you should feel the five hot springs in Japan, put on an elegant bathrobe and lie in the warm spring water, and you will feel tired in an instant. Well, you can't take a camera in a hot spring, so you can only find a photo online. In the distance, it's really cool to look at Buyue Mountain lying in a hot spring.
When I got up in the morning, I saw the foggy fish outside. In the morning, the air is very fresh, moist and refreshing. This feeling of living in the foothills has a freedom beyond the world.
The famous scenic spot of Yubu Garden is Jinlin Lake, but I think the best scenery is actually the small street view seen on Jinlin Lake Road. The narrow street was wet in the morning fog, and behind the street were misty mountains. The shops here are lazy, too. It seems that the owner opened the door in a bad mood. This street is called Tanghu Street. Don't underestimate this street. It is said that it is the prototype of Spirited Away Hot Spring City! There is a variety of grocery food street outside, and behind it are the foothills and hot springs full of smoke. Is it very emotional?
We were all fascinated when we walked past this dessert shop. We stopped, turned and walked into the shop. Ha ha ha ha, because the cake is so delicious.
Passing a small river, the river is full of small yellow flowers, and there is smoke in the distant mountains, so I can't walk. I took many photos beside this small ditch and almost forgot to go to Jinlin Lake.
When crossing the shopping street, I shamelessly took a photo with Uber, hahaha.
After all kinds of difficulties (beautiful scenery), I finally arrived at Jinlin Lake-I got the name because the lake shone like a golden fish scale under the sunlight. But on rainy days, I can't see the artistic conception of this name. However, on cloudy days, the wind is blowing gently, and the water waves are still rippling with silver light. In addition, the vegetation around Jinlin Lake is lush, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
Singapore is really a tourist destination that China people are familiar with. The endless swimming pools in Jinsha Hotel are almost all internet celebrities pretending to be China, so I would like to recommend an unpopular and eye-catching experience: dinner by cable car in Huaba Mountain!
Huaba Mountain is a coastal hill with a height of only 40 meters. Local friends spit out that Singapore is really too small. This slope is also a famous mountain. However, this mountain has a 360-degree view, from which you can see the face of Sentosa, the port capital of Singapore, and the neighboring Indonesian islands. There is a famous cable car here, which can directly reach Sentosa Island from the air (Universal Studios is there! )。 Sentosa is an artificial island full of sea, so it sounds great to reach Sentosa directly from the cable car through the forest and the sea. What's more, this cable car can be directly contracted for dinner! Look at the sunset coming and the stars shining all over Singapore.
I booked this dinner simply because it was a midnight flight, and I wanted to find something interesting to experience. I have been to Sentosa before, and I can be said to be familiar with it when I arrive in vivo City. Across the street is the entrance of Huaba Mountain. It's so short that I can even drive up, but since it's so short, let's climb up.
The mountain is full of tropical plants and flowers are in full bloom. You can already see a very good view at the top of the mountain. Mountains and seas are connected, cable cars pass by one after another, and you are looking forward to dinner.
Dinner starts at six o'clock, and the staff will transform the sightseeing cable car into a dining table, so that we can wait at the designated place. When waiting for the cable car, we will have a welcome cocktail first, and then wait for the cable car while drinking. The cable car is almost full.
The cable car is half way 15 minutes, and the round trip is 30 minutes. We will go back and forth three times, a total of one and a half hours, and each time we will come back here to change dishes, including appetizers, main courses and desserts.
Here comes our cable car, with our appetizers, potato tuna salad and thick soup on it. The cable car slowly draws out the track, and the cable car meal begins!
The cable car first passes through Huaba Mountain Park, through the dense forest, across the road and VIVO City, and across the sea to Sentosa Island. At this time, it was already dark. We sat in the cable car and touched the glass, watching the mountains and seas darken, and our hearts were very cool!
The second time I returned to the cable car station, I changed the main course. Their main courses are pork and red wine fish. Originally, I didn't expect anything from the food on this cable car, mainly the freshness and scenery, but after tasting it, I found that the meat was crisp and tender, very fragrant, and the sauce was great.
The third circle is dessert, cranberries with English black tea, and super cute chocolate. That's very thoughtful.
Night has fallen, and the whole of Singapore is lit up at this time. You can even see the Jinsha Hotel in the distance, with sailboats scattered all over the sea, enjoying delicious food and looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
At the end of the dinner, all the lights on the sea were on, and the trip to Singapore ended with such beautiful scenery. It's perfect.
Morocco was originally a very unpopular place, but because of a visa-free order last June, this country suddenly appeared in China's field of vision. Although it is not a big surprise, it is indeed a place with great style and characteristics in the countries I have been to, which can take you back to the fairy tales of the Thousand and One Nights in an instant.
Morocco is located in the northwest corner of Africa and is known as the "Garden of North Africa". Colorful city appearance is one of Morocco's characteristic scenery. White Casablanca, red Marrakech, blue Cheval Shawan, colorful Fez ... The nomadic culture of indigenous Berbers and the Islamic culture brought by Arabs have coexisted here for thousands of years, making the flowers of Moroccan civilization bloom forever.
For girls, this place is definitely a good place to take pictures of concave shapes. There are beautiful flowers and beautiful rooms everywhere, exquisite decorations and delicious afternoon tea are made, and it is also a good place for photographers to show their humanities and scenery. It is also the location of many Hollywood blockbusters and American dramas. The classic film Casablanca made the city famous. Mission Impossible 5, Troy, Prince of Persia and Game of Thrones were all filmed here. Recently, the popular spy league (I am marion cotillard's dog! ) also shows the diverse customs of Casablanca in the world of half a movie, and it is also a super attractive place for fans.
Casablanca landmark: Hassan II Mosque, the third largest mosque in the world, really, very big!
When I was eleven years old, I read The Story of the Sahara, but I vaguely understood Sanmao, an independent and lovely girl, who loves and is free in a barren land. Today, in Merzuka, Morocco, we set off at five o'clock and rode camels to watch the sunrise in the Sahara in the dark. The legendary yellow sand dunes invade every pore in the wind, hold a handful of three hairs in the Sahara desert, and continue to learn to run towards freedom.
Mayol Garden in Marrakech is the most attractive place in this city. The founder Mayo spent his whole life designing and building it, and the second owner was the famous Ibisante.
Lauren, that's right, YSL They lived here for thirty years and were finally buried here. The color of the garden makes people feel the artist's colorful heart, especially the unique blue villa, which is called "Mayol Blue".
Ayité Benhaddou Zhu Lei Village is the shooting place of countless Hollywood blockbusters. Suddenly, you can see Lawrence of Arabia coming from the red door, and Roman gladiators fought bloody battles. The epic legend never ended. I regret not buying a beautiful carpet there.
Morocco is full of colorful shops, and every clerk claims to be the treasure of Alibaba to show you their home, ok! Department! Both! Think about it! Take it. Back off! Go home!
The story of the ancient city of Festus takes you into the Arabian Nights.
I don't know why I want to go to this country.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the West Bank, Sharon and Arafat, the only Jewish country in the world, are the distant historical memories left by Israel after the 1980s and 1990s. Jerusalem depicted in art history books and the Dead Sea depicted in geography books are the impressions of ordinary people.
Before I left, I heard that this is a country with extremely strict security and police everywhere, but I have never heard anyone say that Israel is a fun country! Israel is a long and narrow country, only twice the size of Beijing, but there are traces of two or three thousand years of civilization everywhere.
Believers have the holy city of Jerusalem in their hearts. In the history of more than 3000 years, it has been occupied dozens of times and rebuilt 18 times, standing like a phoenix. Jews, the most tenacious people who were exiled and slaughtered, still believe that they can return to the promised land and rebuild their homes. Standing on the Olive Hill, I look at the winding ancient city walls, the Dome Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, with thousands of tombstones at my feet. These undead will be resurrected at the end of the day to protect their homes. Listening to such a story, mixed with historical and religious legends, will move anyone.
The old city in the city is mixed with many nationalities, and each city can see different styles and characteristics. Looking for signs of hardship in the old city, we can retrace Jesus' last journey, listen to the weeping message of Jews to our ancestors in wailing wall, watch the light show in the Tower of David, and tell the history of Jerusalem with the whole castle as the curtain. This city is too thick and interesting.
Besides the traces of history and religion, there are many interesting places in Israel. The first one is floating in the Dead Sea, which is the lowest place in the world. You must write a list of what you must go through in life!
Another thing, in Israel, you will experience the experience of entering a region without a country. Now that the fighting between Israel and Palestine has stopped, you will see a border that is neither a national border nor a provincial border on Google Maps. This is the armistice line.
Our itinerary is all in Israel. One day we will go from Lake Galilee (northern Israel) to the Dead Sea (south-central Israel). From the map, the two places are separated by the whole of Palestine. I always thought we would bypass it. As a result, the driver drove directly into Palestine. This is Highway 90 controlled by Israel, which goes directly through Palestine.
I watched the sunset in the whirlpool of contradictions in the modern world without the founding of the people's Republic of China. . . In this land, I have to think about mankind, war, religion and race. This is a very special experience for an ordinary person who has lived in peacetime since birth.
However, don't think that Israel is still experiencing ups and downs on ethnic and religious issues. This country has become the country with the highest degree of economic development, commercial freedom and overall human development index in the Middle East.
Young people in the city are full of energy. When we went there, it happened to be the most important Jewish festival: Purim. These days, Jews will wear exaggerated costumes and masks to participate in the carnival parade. In these days, anyone who goes out of the house will see strangers. Everyone in the street will dress up as he likes, wearing headdresses and exaggerated clothes. Children are also dressed as little princesses or small animals by their parents. Everyone is tall. When I lift the camera, I will squeeze in front of the camera.
I think it's hard to find a more popular place than here, because I stayed in Ethiopia for 65,438+00 days, and I haven't seen any tourists from China except a few people working in the capital Ethiopia. What I want to talk about is a place in the southernmost part of Ethiopia, located on the Kenyan border, called Toulmi.
All the way down to the southernmost tip of Toulmi, which has entered the most primitive tribal areas. Our bus is swinging on the dirt road, and the Gobi is outside the window. Occasionally, a few pink desert roses are the only bright colors. I thought Toulmi was a town similar to Awasha in central China, but when I arrived, I found that it could only be called a village.
Hamer, the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia, lives here. The people here are close to the primitive people in my heart. They are all naked, with shells and delicate patterns on them. Women braid their hair in spring pigtails, then color it with red clay and wear thick and heavy metal collars around their necks. They were walking around the window, and our car intruded into this area untimely.
The central area of Toulmi is a market where people exchange grain, cattle and sheep and sell handmade products. It took me a long way to confirm that this may be one of the few big markets in the world that have not been occupied by Yiwu small commodities. Although people here have no clothes to wear, they are very concerned about their accessories, and they are very concerned about the matching and color matching of accessories, so there will be a large number of handmade accessories for sale.
I bought a shell belt similar to their ribbon. Almost everyone here wears such ornaments, but in the introduction of the museum, Ethiopia has no coastline. All the shells on these belts are imported from Kenya and need to be exchanged at border crossings. They are also very persistent about decorations.
When we come to Toulmi, we can't miss the experience of watching the "Bull Jumping" ceremony, which is a rite of passage for Hammer men. We don't see it every day. We need to find a local guide. We were lucky enough to hold a ceremony in Toulmi. "Jumping cattle" is one of the ancient traditions of the Harmo people. Even the rock murals of Minoan civilization in ancient Greece have the pattern of bull jumping ceremony, and men must complete this ceremony before marriage.
The "Tiaoniu" village is located deep in the forest and needs to drive there.
At the bull jumping ceremony, women hang bells on their legs to sing and dance, and men wearing crowns will paint strange ritual makeup and whip women's backs and abdomen with arrogant and cold expressions. It is said that this kind of flogging is a witness of love, and women will be jealous if they fight more and fight less. I was invited to dance together at the beginning of the ceremony because I bought a shell belt in the market this morning. After the makeup preparation, this large group of people will be moved to another open space to prepare for the official bull jumping activity.
They brought a large group of cows and picked six steaks in a row. At this time, the hero finally appeared. He was naked and wanted to jump over the backs of six cows and come back. If you succeed twice, then the jump is successful. The young man we saw was in good physical strength and successfully jumped over. If the cow jump fails, it will take three years to jump again. A successful man will get an ornament for his wife, and the woman who wears this ornament will be highly respected.
After jumping the cow, everyone walked back in the sunset. Tourists take off-road vehicles to go home, and locals drive cattle and sheep home.
