The Five Best Places to Travel in February

February is early spring in Yunnan Province. In February there is a splendid landscape for photographers in Yunnan Province: the irrigated Yuanyang Rice Terraces, where you can catch wonderful shots of light and shadow.
Though the period from November to April is good for traveling to the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, the period around the Spring Festival (more likely to fall on February) is the BEST times to travel there, because of the more prevalent seas of clouds. Around mid-February the blooming wildflowers make it more charming.
Temperature: The day-night temperature difference is quite large: 3 °C to 17 °C. Wrap up warm if you are planning to catch the sunrise or sunset, and bring layers as it gets colder the higher up you go.
Yunnan Province is a great destination all year round. There are so many recommended things to do in this colorful province, such as photography at the Yuanyang Rice Terraces and Dongchuan Red Land, retracing history at Shuhe Ancient Town and the Old Town of Lijiang, exploring the land of the Lost Horizon — Shangri-La, and enjoying a warm February in Xishuangbanna (13 °C to 31 °C).
