The happiest thing in life is not having everything,

but being able to arrange your life calmly.

I don't know if you have noticed,

In recent years, everyone's concept of tourism has

completely changed.

I used to like the punch-in mode of this tour.

Getting off the bus to take photos and get on the bus to sleep, the journey is like fighting;

Now it pays more attention to enjoyment,

enjoying the local scenery, tasting the local food,

even integrating into the slow life of the local people.

Also, more and more people like to have fun in small counties.

Just like a popular saying some time ago:

In a big city, it's nine to five on weekdays.

When you are free, go to a small county to find poems and distant places.

The charm of a small county lies not in its beauty,

but in its quietness,

The quietness is mixed with thick smoke, anger and faint business atmosphere,

It is convenient but not noisy, quiet but not blocked.

When you enter here,

it's like entering a pure land far away from the hubbub.

You don't need to spend too much money,

You don't need to rack your brains to make a strategy,

You just need to enjoy this serenity, quiet beauty and elegance.

Today,

I will recommend 12 small towns for you.

Find a time to visit them.

You can't imagine how comfortable small towns are!

Qingtian, Zhejiang

In the small Europe of Zhejiang, you can eat steak and drink coffee leisurely

There is a saying in Zhejiang that "seven mountains and one water divide two fields", and Lishui is surrounded by mountains. Tracing back to the farming period, Lishui's geographical conditions were not dominant. It is precisely because of this that there have been many "businessmen" who dare to fight and dare to rush.

Although the seemingly insignificant small mountain town has a registered population of only 575,111, there are 331,111 overseas Chinese across the ocean, distributed in more than 121 countries and regions around the world.

Gao Xiaosong once commented that Qingtian people are "the most tenacious and diligent people in China", because at that time, even if the country they were in could not integrate into the mainstream society, they could still struggle in Europe.

Now, they have fallen leaves and returned to their roots, bringing the world home.

In Qingtian, you can see that the aunts and grandmothers in the vegetable market can also buy things in euros. The extended version of Maibakh has driven into the mountain path, and the chef Michelin has been poached to the western restaurant in this small town. It is a daily life for local people to drink 1111 cups of coffee every day.

It's hard for you to imagine that such southern rivers and mountains can be combined with European customs, but Qingtian just blends naturally and harmoniously, and is as beautiful as a "mix and match" painting combining Chinese and Western styles. On the one hand, China's aesthetic ink painting, and on the other hand, European landscape oil painting.

The hard-working Qingtian people have made this small county town proud. Between traditional and modern, Chinese and western, Qingtian people's choice is: I want them all.

coordinates: qingtian county, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province

Transportation: It takes only 3 hours to get to Qingtian from Shanghai, 2 hours from Hangzhou to Qingtian, and 1 hours from Wenzhou Airport to Qingtian by car.

Hui 'an, Fujian

A small seaside town full of southern Fujian flavor

I believe many people know a poem by Haizi, called Facing the Sea, Warming bloom in Spring. And when you "escape" from the metropolis and come to Hui 'an County in Quanzhou, you can get this carefree experience.

Whether it's the blue seaside, Hui 'an girl wearing a hat on the beach, or the ancient city of Chongwu standing by the sea and the quiet and quaint fishing village, it all reveals the taste of quiet years.

Wandering around the street casually, the strong flavor of southern Fujian comes to my face, which makes people feel lazy and cured.

in addition to the sea view, there is also a small art gallery in Hui' an, which is bursting with design, and it is full of ins wind when you take a shot! On the other hand, you can also turn to Haisi Film Town and walk in it, as if you had traveled to the Republic of China a hundred years ago, which is very suitable for killing time.

Coordinates: Hui 'an County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province

Transportation: There is a shuttle bus to Hui 'an from Quanzhou Passenger Transport Center Station, the whole journey is about 22km, and it takes about 31 minutes

Xiuning, Anhui Province

There is no crowd in Hongcun, and a comfortable Huizhou ink painting scroll

Walking on the land of Xiuning, I suddenly thought of a Zen poem by Bai Letian, "Recently, I am so happy that no one is there.

When all parts of China are competing to build high-rise buildings to imitate the western beauty, Xiuning's houses are still in Huizhou style with blue bricks, tiles and horsehead walls.

When KFC, McDonald's and Haagen-Dazs are popular all over China, Huizhou cuisine is going global step by step under the unique packaging of Huizhou culture.

Xiuning, Huizhou's culture has given you a unique temperament, and it is for this reason that you have persisted in yourself and achieved yourself.

Coordinates: Xiuning County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province

Recommended places to visit: Qiyun Mountain, Mulituan Village, Huangcun Village, etc.

Guangdong Taishan

Haidian Town, which goes directly to Guangzhou for 1 hours, is quaint and delicious

This is a literary seaside town with a coastline of 649.2 kilometers and 265 islands.

This is a small town that has not been over-developed. Most of the people living here are locals, and everything is well decorated.

No matter the streets, arcades or watchtowers, they all exude the charm of old buildings, and even major film and television dramas come here to take a scenic view.

not only that, it is also a delicious city, whether it is a grounded seafood market, a seafood street where you can eat casually without stepping on thunder, a cheap and delicious fishing village, or going out with fishing boats. Authentic and fresh ...

Transportation: There is a high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station to Taishan Station

Xiangshan, Zhejiang Province

occupies a small county town with 1/6 coastline in Zhejiang Province

I wonder if it is the reason why it has been dormant for too long in winter. The closer it is to spring, the more the island can't hold back its vitality.

The sea turns blue, the grass turns green, and the breeze drives the sea, like hugging the vegetation on the shore. The green reflected in the micro-Ranbo trace is the only green!

When you set foot on Tantou Mountain Island, you will vaguely expect that some Xu Chunguang will be scattered, and the turquoise between mountains and seas is like a beautiful dancer dragging a turquoise dress and swaying in the long river of years, and can't help but freeze every abundant moment with her heart.

Walking on the sister beach where the waves are chasing the sand, the gentle sea breeze is blowing on your face, and the murmuring trees are echoing in your ears. At that moment, you can empty everything and even feather yourself. Sunlight falls freely, surrounded by blue sky and white clouds. Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the lush grand palace village, the green hills make people feel like walking into Alice's Wonderland, and they can't help being intoxicated. The fresh breath in the mountains is even more powerful ...

Listening to the whistle of distant fishing boats, sleeping under the starlight of the East China Sea, singing at sunrise, resting under the sunset glow, feeling the leisure life of people by the sea, and letting their bodies and minds swim between heaven and earth.

Jianshui, Yunnan Province

A small town that is more comfortable than Lijiang, Dali

It has a history of 1,211 years, and it still retains its quaint appearance, staying quietly in the old days, with unhurried residents, old architectural streets and full of laziness.

entering Jianshui county, it is full of traditional folk culture. There are 135 cultural relics in the county, which is a veritable "museum of ancient buildings".

If you come to Jianshui's meter-gauge train, you must take a seat. The train is not fast, but it has a unique style. The carriage is made of wood, which is more retro and warm. Staggering, it seems to be sitting on the time machine.

If you are greedy, punch in the same food in Tip of the Tongue, Jianshui tofu, steamed chicken, cold spoon powder ...

Coordinates: Jianshui County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province

Transportation: The fastest bullet train from Kunming to Jianshui takes about 1.5 hours

Langzhong, Sichuan

Feel the slow life in the four ancient cities of China.

Walking on the stone road in Langzhong ancient city, I can see antique buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, and the people in the ancient city are full of life by drinking tea, chatting and playing chess under the quaint eaves.

The low-flying clouds, the gentle breeze, the promenade with green shadows, the cultivated farmers and the tourists all make up a beautiful and quiet picture.

Langzhong, known as "Langyuan Wonderland" and "Bashu Rush", is one of the four ancient cities in China, the birthplace of the Spring Festival, and also the place where Du Fu left the famous phrase "Langzhou is sparsely populated in the south of the city".

However, when time goes by, Langzhong is left with a slow life besides the heavy history and city walls.

the slowness in Langzhong is not stagnation, not lifelessness, but a kind of self-assured calmness.

Here, you can walk slowly in the ancient city, or immerse yourself in the green mountains and green waters, or in the warm afternoon, find a quiet corner, have a cup of coffee and a good book, and so go on "slowly" ...

Tekes, Xinjiang

A small county surrounded by snow-capped mountains and grasslands

There are always people who yearn for the snow-capped mountains and grasslands in Switzerland, but in fact, China has such Swiss scenery, and Tekes is one of them.

In my mind, Tex is a gossip city, but when you are in it, you will find that Tex is still a grassland and a snowy mountain ...

Here, you don't have to think about where to punch in at the next stop, you can get lost in the gossip city, go to the Karajun grassland to ride horses, or even set up a tent in Qiongkushitai village to live like the locals.

coordinates: Tekes County, Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang

Transportation: drive by car or take the shuttle bus from Yining Bus Station, which runs every 21 minutes, and it is 119 kilometers from Yining to Tekes.

Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia

In addition to exotic customs, there is also the comfort of the whole city

Manzhouli has the grassland scenery of "the sky is like a vault, and the cage covers four fields", and it also has the geographical characteristics of "looking at Russia and Mongolia at a glance, and crowing chickens smell the Three Kingdoms".

here, there are many Russian-style buildings along the road, and the shop signs are printed with Chinese, Russian and Mongolian characters, as if you were in a foreign land.

Taowa Square in the northwest of the city brings people to a beautiful fairy tale world. Taowa is a folk wooden toy in Russia

but in Manzhouli, it has become an architectural form.

The ancient city of Kyushu, which has a long history and is still alive today

Qingzhou is one of the ancient Kyushu, with a development history of more than 7,111 years, a civilization history of more than 5,111 years, and a glorious national capital for 12 years. It has successively existed in Guangxian County, Guanggu City and Nanyang City.

Qingzhou today, although only a small town, contains countless wonderful stories.

Fenghuang County is located in the west between Jishou City and Huaihua City, Hunan Province, and the urban area is built next to Tuojiang River. Tuojiang River is like wine, and diaojiao lou along the river is as naive as a drunk beauty.
