In the Chinese entertainment industry, Li Xian's name has long been familiar to audiences through his impactful roles. However, instead of relentlessly working on film sets like many of his peers, the actor spends most of his time enjoying his passion for travel.
Looking at his travels over the past six months, fans see not only the image of an A-list star but also the shadow of a "dreamer" traveling the world to explore his own limits.
Most recently, the online community was once again abuzz with excitement over the "picture-perfect" images that Li Xian posted on his personal Weibo and Xiaohongshu accounts. The actor, born in 1991, left viewers speechless when he showcased a series of photos taken at the Forbidden City (Beijing) after a very romantic first snowfall of the season.
These poetic photos were taken by Li Xian at the Forbidden City.
Sharing about this spontaneous trip, Li Xian said that he had proactively monitored the weather forecast a week in advance on social media and immediately booked tickets to the Forbidden City when he heard about the snow. For him, the Forbidden City is beautiful all year round, but the effect of the pristine white snowflakes falling on the red brick walls is the ultimate "boost" to its ancient and profound beauty.
Interestingly, the actor also wittily realized that his all-black attire had become too obvious a defining characteristic, prompting him to consider researching new camouflage techniques so he could comfortably take street-style photos without being recognized too quickly.

Li Xian's life since filming wrapped on the drama "Chang Feng Qi" in August this year can be likened to a cinematic exploration. Instead of resting at home, he embarked on a transcontinental journey that any travel enthusiast would wish to experience for half a year like Li Xian.
He appeared in Milan to attend the Prada show, then spent time leisurely watching the sunset in romantic Venice and strolling through the streets of Paris. Not stopping at the glamorous cities, the actor continued his journey to the pristine nature of Xinjiang with his close friends, or embarked on a long trek on snow-capped peaks in Tibet, over 5000 meters above sea level.
The actor has a packed travel schedule, exploring many famous places around the world.
Li Xian's adaptability and passion for travel truly amaze his fans. In a short period, he was seen filming a challenging mountain climbing and trekking vlog, only to be seen diving deep into Indonesian waters the very next day for a project for PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), capturing moments of swimming with turtles and sharks at the bottom of the ocean. Not only that, his visit to Bromo (Indonesia) to see the mysterious erupting volcano and his combined travel and advertising shoot in New Zealand also demonstrate his love of travel.
Travel experiences that are rich and varied.
Most notably, the New Zealand Tourism Board proudly introduced Li Xian with the title: not only an actor, but also a true travel blogger, an artistic photographer, and officially a tourism ambassador for the country. This is well-deserved recognition for his efforts in spreading positive inspiration and love for nature. Unlike other stars who only travel for the sake of "checking in," Li Xian truly immerses himself in local culture and experiences. He studies camera angles, waits for the right weather, and doesn't shy away from challenges to access the most unique locations.
Many fans have commented that Li Xian is not only the ideal role model to fall in love with, but more importantly, he is the ideal role model they aspire to be. His philosophy of life is very clear: when working, he invests all his focus and energy, but when resting, he devotes all his energy to enjoying life.

This balance is key to maintaining his youthful and energetic demeanor even after turning 30. His roles in Forensic Heroes, The Bridge of the South, and his upcoming collaboration with Chen Linong in Spring River Flower Moon Night all showcase a versatile Li Xian on screen, but it's his adventurous side in real life that earns him the most admiration.
The actor shared that he always prioritizes unique and highly experiential locations to enrich the material for his roles.
Li Xian's journey conveys a powerful message about taking control of one's life. He doesn't get caught up in the whirlwind of fame but knows when to stop to recharge. His travels are not just about seeing the world, but also a way to have a dialogue with himself and find inspiration for future roles. It can be said that, with his relentless efforts and modern mindset, Li Xian is redefining the concept of a versatile entertainment star: successful in his career, passionate about his work, and an endless source of inspiration for those who love freedom and exploration.
