It's like a fairy tale in a dream, with pink, yellow, orange, green, and blue colors. Coming here gives you a refreshed feeling, as if you are in a beautiful dream. The world is pure, like stepping into a colorful palette, but not chaotic; instead, it feels more comfortable. This unique painting project has changed Xiaoruo Village in the eyes of outsiders a lot, but it hasn't disrupted the usual life of the residents here. The simplicity that a fishing village should have is still present, but this simplicity has put on a new outfit, a collision of trend and fishing culture. This place is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts!

Yuetuo Island, Tangshan, Hebei

Due to the increase in bird species on the island and its good seclusion, with no human development activities to disturb it, the scenery has become more pristine. The terrain of Yuetuo is relatively open, making it an excellent place to observe the sun and moon. As an ancient poem describes: 'In the water, the moon appears as a crescent, the sky and water blend, the moon connects with them. At midnight, the bright moon rises, half reflecting on the island, half circling the sky.'

Chengdu Li County Floating Cloud Ranch

Floating Cloud Ranch is located in Xishan Village, Tonghua Township, Li County, Aba, more than 100 kilometers away from Chengdu. It is not a tourist attraction, but a hotel built in the mountains. It is said that even the name 'Floating Cloud Ranch' was given by netizens who visited the place. The sea of clouds in the mountains can be seen every day and is constantly changing, creating a truly magical scene. Originally, it was a hidden gem known only to seasoned travelers, but it suddenly became popular on Douyin this year.

Yushan Island, Ningbo

The first impression Yushan Island gives is the fresh air, which is refreshing and invigorating. The azure sky and the blue sea make the island even more beautiful. The island is very pristine and not large; you can tour it in just over an hour. The bioluminescent blue sea, known as the 'Blue Tears,' emits a faint blue glow at night.
