Many countries vowed to impose travel restrictions on tourists from India. Negative developments have caused wealthy people in the world’s second-most populous country to rush to find a way to catch the last flight or take a private jet to leave the country, before “banning” orders. effective. According to Gulf News, one of their favorite destinations is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is only a short distance from India and often has hundreds of flights to and from each day. The UAE has announced a ban on visitors originating from India for 10 days from April 25. The price list listed on the websites shows that the fare for one-way commercial flights from Mumbai to Dubai on April 23-24 is about 80,000 rupees (over $ 1,000), 10 times more than normal .

This year, May Day is a five-day holiday, which is not a short long holiday. According to forecasts, this year’s May Day holiday may become the hottest golden holiday in history. This means that the more popular attractions and tourist cities are bound to have more spectacular scenery than ever before. Here we recommend two cities, the relative number of tourists will be less, for tourists who like to relax alone or like quiet. The old horse on the horizon, go to the donkey travel column photographer 1. Wuzhou, Guangxi Wuzhou is an old city with a weak sense of existence, but it was the economic center of Guangxi in the last century. Or because it belongs to the Lingnan cultural circle, Wuzhou has gradually lost its former style in Guangxi after the reform and opening up. Nowadays, both the urban construction and the living standards of residents are at the third and fourth-tier standards. Put Wuzhou in the recommended list for the May Day holiday. First, we have just been here last time, and we have a very good impression of Wuzhou. Here you will see the birthplace of the most orthodox Lingnan culture, an old city that is more Guangzhou than Guangzhou. More original Cantonese snacks, more flavorful old arcade town, and the leisure life of a small riverside town. The second is historical charm. In modern history, Wuzhou is also a city with a far-reaching influence from Western culture, and it also retains many important historical heritage sites. For example, the former site of Jiandao Bible College and the former site of the British Consulate near Qilou City have historical characteristics. The reason for its formation is the same as that of many consulates and churches on Shamian Island in Guangzhou and Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. But compared with the latter two, these cultural and historical attractions in Wuzhou are less hustle and bustle and more peaceful. Combining Wuzhou’s transportation, geographical location, and cultural features, the trip to Wuzhou during the May Day holiday is more suitable for nearby cities in Guangdong and Guangxi. It is very suitable for the tourists who want to find a place to “hide” the crowds and breathe a sigh of relief. Go donkey trip 2. Yanbian Yanbian has always been a city hidden by snow and rarely seen by tourists. This autonomous prefecture bordering North Korea is rarely active even in the three northeastern provinces, but whether it is from the climate, ecological environment, ethnic customs, it is a very suitable destination for small and long vacation trips, and even a livable destination. Although the sense of existence is not very strong, the traffic convenience of Yanbian has greatly exceeded our expectations. The autonomous prefecture under the jurisdiction of Jilin Province has a Yanji Chaoyangchuan International Airport, which can be reached in only 2 hours from Beijing, and only about 3 hours in Shanghai. In addition, the land transportation is also very convenient. If you prefer to drive by yourself, you can start directly from Beijing at night and you will be able to reach Yanbian the next day. The most beautiful time in Yanbian is summer. The temperature is neither hot nor cold, but it is one of the few summer cities in China. However, during the May Day holiday, sooner or later, there is still a bit of coldness, but compared to most cities that have been “warmed up”, the climate in Yanbian at this time is justified and warm. In Yanbian, Erdaobai River in Antu is famous for its air, forest, and Changbai Mountain. It is a very suitable destination for cycling and hiking. Dunhua is definitely going to go. The Korean cuisine has been memorable so far. Mentai fish is a must, and even the sun hasn’t set, it’s already a barbeque. Feng Yiping, a column photographer for the donkey trip The air is good, the temperature is right, the natural ecology is well preserved, the ethnic minorities are charming, the mysterious journey on the border, and the overwhelming gourmet life. The most important thing is that there are not too many tourists, so you have enough space and mood to arrange a happy May Day holiday for yourself. These are the two cities we recommend above. There are few tourists, the climate is suitable, the prices are not expensive, and there is no excessive commercial atmosphere. They are perfect for avoiding crowds on May 1st and enjoying a peaceful holiday. So, for the May Day holiday, which city do you recommend?
