great vacation spots: 10 places you must visit in your lifetime
Qian Zhongshu said: “If you love someone, then travel with them. If you still love each other after the trip, then get married.” The fatigue and exhaustion during travel can best reveal a person’s true character. The following 10 domestic travel destinations are all worth taking your lifelong love to visit. After crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, the most beautiful scenery is always having you by my side.

① Sanya Romantic times in a tropical paradise
When the plane lands at Sanya Phoenix Airport, the tropical atmosphere that greets you immediately lifts your spirits. Here you’ll find China’s most charming blue seas and skies, coconut groves, beaches, and tropical rainforests, making it a favorite vacation destination for couples. In the early morning, wait for a romantic sunrise on the beach; in the afternoon, enjoy leisure time under the coconut trees while admiring the beautiful sea view; in the evening, go to the seafood market to pick fresh seafood and have it prepared on the spot to enjoy the most authentic Hainan flavor.

“Guilin’s landscapes are the best under heaven” is no exaggeration. The strange peaks reflected on both sides of the Li River form a flowing Chinese ink painting.
