A perfect getaway - unique, affordable and not too far away

Yin Rui and his wife were very excited to see a lion in the forests not far away from their cross-country vehicle. In Sri Lanka's Yala National Park, elephants cast curious glances at tourists like the couple, and monkeys approach the vehicle to beg for food.

"It's like being in Zootopia. We loved the experience here. The locals are hospitable, honest and kindhearted," says Yin. The couple also went out to sea to watch whales.

In March, the 31-year-old from Xinyang, in Henan province, visited Sri Lanka with his wife for their wedding photo shoot. The 11-day vacation left an indelible memory.
