Where will you go if you have the chance to travel in winter? Would you like to lie on the beach of a sunny island or enjoy the pure white of a snowy world? Here are some tips and maybe you can get ready for the coming holiday.
Phuket, Thailand
With its dry season from November to April, there are few better places for a sunny escape(逃离) than Phuket in winter. Thailand's biggest island now is many people's favourite for a holiday. Besides green water, fine beaches, palm trees and massage, the sunsets from Phromthep Cape at the southern tip are also amazing.
Alaska, the United States
Alaska has a natural escape that seems sometimes untouched by human beings. Anchorage, the state's largest city, has the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race(狗拉雪橇大赛), which alone is worth a trip to see. Don't forget to head over to Fairbanks to watch the Northern Lights(北极光) and take a dogsled tour.
Xinjiang, China
