Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and my family, I love the snow (if there is any), the whole spirit thing, but sometimes I really want to escape and just be somewhere quiet. A place so distant and so isolated, but at the same time - beautiful and magical. So I found a few places like that.
Here are the NUMBER places to escape during the Holidays... or whenever you want:
Crescent Lake
This is literally the Oasis for your holidays. I say literally, because it actually is an oasis, located in north west China, south from Dunhuang city.
It almost vanished a few years back, but the Chinese government helped and now you can go and chillax (yes, I said it) for a few days. Go there before it gets too crowded, because sooner or later it will get trendy.
