Average 22°C! Stay in These 8 "Reverse Summer Escape" Towns for Cooler Comfort Than AC

40°C heat is unbearable! 🥵 While others crowd beaches like dumplings in a pot, we’re quietly heading to these natural air-conditioned havens! Here are 8 hidden gem towns with an average temperature of 22°C—sleeping under blankets in summer isn’t a dream! Bookmark this and set off this summer! 👇 🧊 Liupanshui, Guizhou | Avg. 19°C Officially dubbed "China’s Cool Capital," it’s a true natural AC. Days are comfortably cool, and nights might even call for a light blanket. Here, ACs are the most redundant appliance. 🌲 Shennongjia, Hubei | Avg. 24°C The "Roof of Central China" lives up to its name! With an average elevation of 2,000+ meters and over 90% primal forest coverage, every breath is packed with negative oxygen ions. Beyond the coolness, explore mysterious wildman legends. 👑 Chengde, Hebei | Royal Summer Retreat A royally certified summer escape—the Qing emperors’ "Summer Capital" speaks for itself. Temperatures in the Mountain Resort are 3-5°C lower than outside. Experience imperial-level cooling! 🌋 Changbai Mountain, Jilin | Avg. 18-20°C How awesome are high-altitude summers? Changbai Mountain has the answer! Marvel at the stunning Tianchi Lake and volcanic landscapes, while 80%+ forest coverage makes you feel inside a giant natural AC, with chill seeping into your bones. 🌬️ Xining, Qinghai | Avg. 25°C Xining, "China’s Summer Capital," shines brightest in summer. Large day-night temperature swings mean hotels rarely have AC—evening breezes are cooling enough. Blue skies, white clouds, and gentle winds spell pure bliss. 🌳 Yichun, Heilongjiang | Avg. 22°C A cool hideaway in the Lesser Khingan Range, rightly called a "natural oxygen bar." With 84.5% forest coverage, summers here brim with fresh greenery and refreshing coolness. 🏯 Datong, Shanxi | Ancient Summer Capital Who says ancient capitals are only about history? Datong is China’s sole "Ancient Summer Capital"! With year-round top-tier air quality, admire the grandeur of Yungang Grottoes and the wonder of Hanging Temple under azure skies—a feast for eyes and body. 🏞️ Enshi, Hubei | Alpine Paradise ⚠️ Note: Skip Enshi city—head to high-altitude areas like Lichuan or Sumadang! These are true summer paradises, hailed as "China’s Most Beautiful Small Places," real-life fairy-tale forests with ~20°C summer averages. Pure comfort! Ditch AC survival mode and embrace 22°C summers—it’s a game-changer! Which town tops your summer getaway list? Drop your pick in the comments!
