Four cities look unreal beautiful from November to December, travel guide

As autumn turns to winter, four places in China quietly press the "beauty button"— Not crowded, no mountain closures, no temperature drops, Instead, the cold air brings out the most stunning scenery. ① Tengchong | Ginkgo leaves cover the village, time stops in golden autumn From late November to early December, Tengchong Ginkgo Village seems soaked in sunlight— 30,000 ancient trees turn golden, fallen leaves form a soft carpet, smoke curls from old houses, Wearing a Hanfu, holding a cup of Pu'er tea, sitting under a century-old ginkgo tree drinking tea, It feels like stepping into a breathing oil painting. 📌Tips: Kunming high-speed train 2h to Baoshan, then transfer by bus to Tengchong; Ginkgo Village ticket 30 RMB, village homestays start at 150 RMB, electric scooter rental 30 RMB/day, slow travel is the real flavor. ② Nyingchi | Namjagbarwa reveals its true face, a snow mountain season that captivates at first sight From November to December, Tibet enters the dry season, clouds disperse, and hearts calm. Namjagbarwa Peak finally unveils, its pyramid-shaped snowy summit piercing the sky, The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon’s water is jade-like, golden leaves reflect by the Nyang River, Warm 20℃ sunshine during the day, staying in a Tibetan courtyard at night, stars visible through the window. 📌Tips: Lhasa high-speed train 4h direct to Nyingchi, shared cars available anytime; hostels 80 RMB/bed, car rental 300 RMB round trip to Suosong Village, staying in Tibetan homestays is the right choice. ③ Rime Island, Jilin | China’s most romantic morning, watching snow flowers bloom on the Songhua River Mornings in December are below zero but shining— Water vapor from the Songhua River condenses into frost, the ten-mile long dike is covered with "fluffy" rime, At sunrise, the white world glows golden, like Monet’s snowy garden. You can also go skiing at Beidahu, photograph birds in the snow, winter can be light and lively. 📌Tips: Changchun Longjia Airport, 30 minutes by high-speed train to Jilin Station, 40 minutes taxi to the island; homestays start at 120 RMB, free entry before 6:30 AM, highest photo success rate! ④ Sanya | While the whole country enters winter, I’m still wearing short sleeves by the sea When the north is wrapped up like a dumpling, Sanya is still 24℃! Visibility for diving at Wuzhizhou Island exceeds 10 meters, West Island is quiet and less crowded, Ride a bike along the 30 km Coconut Dream Corridor, Dig for snails during the day, shop at the duty-free city and First Market for fresh seafood at night, This is what winter should be: sunshine, sea, freedom. 📌Tips: Direct flights from 40+ cities nationwide, airport metro direct access; hostels 80 RMB, five-star sea view rooms from 600 RMB, full coverage of buses and electric scooters, budget 300-800 RMB per person. --- 📅 Flip your calendar to November-December, Don’t stay home, don’t wait for the Spring Festival! Go to Tengchong, listen to the sound of ginkgo leaves falling on your shoulders, Go to Nyingchi, wait for a snow mountain to meet your gaze, Go to Rime Island, be the protagonist of a crystal dream, Go to Sanya, live winter like summer. ✨This autumn and winter, pick a city and restart your life.
