Visa-free Armenia travel guide
Visa-free Armenia is a hidden gem in the Caucasus!
The capital Yerevan has a unique slow pace, as if time has slowed down. Especially the Yerevan Cascade, which is a must-see!
It was designed by architect Alexander Tamanyan
Located on the central axis of Yerevan
Although it is an "unfinished building" of the former Soviet Union
But that doesn't stop it from being charming
The whole building is in the shape of a waterfall staircase
The layered design is extremely grand and spectacular
It takes about half an hour to climb up from the bottom
The scenery along the way changes with the steps
Each level offers a different view of the city
It's like a deep conversation with the city
Inside the steps is the Cafesjian Museum of Art
After admiring the grandeur of the exterior of the building, walk into the museum
You can immerse yourself in the ocean of art and feel the perfect fusion of art and architecture.
If you don't want to climb the stairs, you can also take the elevator up to the top and enjoy the beautiful view of Yerevan 👀
Not far from the Cascade is Freedom Square
The Yerevan Opera House is also here, and you must go to the opera house to see a ballet! We saw the classic "Swan Lake", the ticket price is very affordable, the performance is very exciting, definitely a feast for the eyes! 👀
There is also Republic Square, which is very lively
Surrounded by concert halls, the Prime Minister's Office, museums, clock towers and other buildings
Classical and modern elements intertwine and collide
The History Museum of Armenia is here
It can take you to appreciate the ancient history and splendid culture of this country, with various ancient shoes, exquisite carpets and unique pottery on display, all of which tell the story of the past.
There are often street performers singing and playing by the fountain at the entrance of the museum
The melodious singing adds a lot of romance to the whole square
The Armenian Genocide Museum is also worth a visit
It carries a heavy history
Commemorating the tragic past of the Armenian massacre by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, the memorial next to it is solemn and solemn, and the monument is composed of a series of spikes, constantly reminding the world not to forget the pain of history.
The Yerevan Cathedral is also a landmark building, as famous as the Tbilisi Holy Trinity Cathedral, and is one of the most magnificent cathedrals in the Caucasus, with exquisite interior decoration and magnificent exterior design, showing the classic Armenian style.
Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay | A Dream Hotel You'll Want to Visit Again

The hotel is in a great location, right near the harbor, making it super convenient to get around. It's not far from the ferry terminal, and a quick taxi ride will get you there in no time. There are also plenty of local food stalls and convenience stores nearby, so if you want to grab a snack or try some local flavors, it's just a short walk away.
🏨 Hotel Environment:
As soon as you step into the hotel, you can feel the upscale atmosphere. The lobby is spacious and bright, with exquisite decor and tasteful arrangements. The lighting is just right, creating a warm and cozy ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly, offering to help with luggage as soon as you arrive. They're also very patient when answering questions during check-in, providing excellent service that instantly puts you in a vacation mood.
🛏 Room Experience:
The rooms are fantastic! They're spacious, with soft, comfortable beds that feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. The cleanliness is impeccable, with everything spotless and dust-free. The bathroom is well-designed, with separate wet and dry areas, and the toiletries are of good quality, leaving your hair feeling silky smooth. The best part is the stunning view from the room's window, overlooking the harbor. During the day, the sunlight sparkles on the water, and at night, the view is mesmerizing. Enjoying such a beautiful view from the comfort of your room is pure bliss.
🍽 Dining Recommendations:
The hotel's restaurant is worth mentioning. The breakfast spread is extensive, with a variety of fresh fruits, bread, hot dishes, cold dishes, and local specialties to cater to different tastes. We also had dinner at the hotel, trying some Indonesian dishes and seafood, and the flavors were truly impressive. The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning was perfect, and the chef's skills were top-notch!

You must try the hotel's pool! It's large, with clean water, and surrounded by plenty of loungers and umbrellas. After a swim, you can relax on a lounger, soak up the sun, and enjoy a cocktail.

Shanghai is just a 30-minute high-speed train ride away from this ancient town!
With the opening of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou High-Speed Railway, more and more hidden gems are being discovered.
Lili Ancient Town is everything I imagined an ancient town to be.
After seeing so many commercialized ancient towns, I realized how rare Lili is. There are no cookie-cutter photo spots or grilled squid stalls here. Instead, you'll find small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses with flying eaves. You'll see women washing clothes by the river, old men sunbathing, and shop owners busy preparing lunch.
Lili's history dates back 2,500 years. As the doors and windows creak open, I cross more than 20 stone bridges and 150 alleys. The old dreams sheltered by the misty corridors fill me with energy as I immerse myself in the ancient town's rustic charm.
📍 Name: Lili Ancient Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou
💰 Admission: Free (some attractions charge a fee)
🚘 Self-driving: 1 hour from Suzhou city center
🚄 High-speed train: 30 minutes from Shanghai Hongqiao to Suzhou South Station

You can also use your train ticket to get discounts at hotels, restaurants, and more.
🎞️ Lili Ancient Town was a filming location for the TV series "Good League Member".
📸 If you want to take photos in traditional Chinese clothing or a qipao, you'll need to bring your own clothes and makeup, as there are no costume shops in the ancient town.
🗺️ The ancient town is small, but the shops are full of surprises. Behind the small storefronts, you'll find intangible cultural heritage crafts, private museums, and time-honored restaurants. Take your time to explore.
🏨 Accommodation: The ancient town has mid-range and high-end homestays. We stayed at Lixuan Academy, which offers great value for money in the off-season. There are many chain restaurants and drink shops nearby, and food delivery is very convenient.

✅ Anti-theft article
Always remember to bring a mobile phone lanyard when you go to London! It can greatly reduce the probability of being stolen my friend and I did not encounter thieves throughout the whole process ~
⚠️ suggest hanging a mobile phone lanyard ➕ dumpling bag in front of the body, it will be much safer!
⚠️ Keep an eye on everything you own. There are a lot of thieves out there!
⚠️ don't recommend carrying a backpack 🎒 easy to be stolen! Crossbody bags should also be in front of you to be ok
⚠️ Remember the fanny pack must be carried in front of you the whole time, once you go to the side or the back it can be dangerous!!!!
⚠️ pay special attention to not use the mobile phone should also be held firmly, or may end up with only empty phone case
⚠️ usually go out with only mobile phone lanyard, mobile phone, charging treasure, bank card, sunglasses lipstick sunscreen, etc., and student card
⚠️ In short, watch your mobile phone, bag and bank card throughout London! It's easy to lose things!
This trip to London has come to a successful end, the big city ➕ capital is really worth a visit! London has a lot of things that Edinburgh doesn't have, but the overall pace of the city is much faster than Edinburgh! Both cities are beautiful, long-lost bustle vs. quaint serenity, each with their own characteristics ✨.

The Internet is right! This hidden gem in Yunnan is perfect for a vacation!
I've been living in Dali for 2 years and have started exploring lesser-known cities in Yunnan. I found Mile, a small city just 30 minutes away from Kunming by high-speed rail.

2️⃣ Lake Spring Ecological Park: A large park in the city with waterfalls, clear water, white sand, and abundant plants. It's a great place for walking and relaxing.
3️⃣ Yunnan Red Wine Manor: You can visit the underground wine cellar, learn about wine culture and production, taste wine, and buy souvenirs.

I'm still traveling around China with my husband. We've been on the road for 3 years and will share more travel tips with you in the future!
Just got back from an 11-day trip to New Zealand, and I have some honest thoughts to share...
I joined a small Chinese tour group with three other girls. We were all around the same age, and we got along really well. We took photos of each other and chatted about gossip, which was a lot of fun!
.
I really want to recommend this small tour group! Our tour guide was really nice, and I genuinely want him to have more customers. First of all, he was a good driver. It was already spring when we went, and we could take a helicopter to hike on the glacier! The mountain roads here aren't great, and I was worried about safety if I drove myself. The tour guide drove the whole way, and we didn't encounter any danger.
.
Here are some things I liked about this small tour group (I promise I'm not lying to my online friends!).
.
Transportation: We took a 9-seater business car 🚗, and our luggage came with us. It was spacious and comfortable. Although the roads in New Zealand aren't great, our tour guide was a good driver, so we didn't get carsick. He even took us to see the aurora! We saw it in more than one place! It was so beautiful that I cried.
.
Hotels: The hotels booked by this small tour group were really nice. When I was researching, I found that many tour groups take you to designated hotels, which are very noisy 👯. So before I booked, I specifically emphasized that I didn't want to go to those hotels. I wanted to be comfortable, which would make the travel experience better.
.
Food: To be honest, food in New Zealand is quite expensive 🌮🍤🍧🍛🌭🍖. But since I was there, I had to try the local specialties. I asked the tour guide to recommend a few restaurants. Fergburger in Queenstown was really good. The burgers were bigger than my face, and I couldn't finish one, haha. The lamb chops at a local restaurant next to Wakatipu were also delicious and fragrant, with no mutton smell! The tour guide also helped us book a table at the famous Mt Cook Alpine Salmon farm. The salmon was really delicious! It was just a bit expensive.
.
Group experience: I went alone, so I joined a small group to meet people and make new friends. It turned out to be a lot of fun. If you're going to New Zealand for the first time, you can consider joining a small group 💞.
Cost: Tour fee + airfare and visa + extra food and drinks + Cook Mountain glacier hike + other shopping, totaling 32,000 yuan.

Day ❷: Meixi Lake Art Center - Yuelu Mountain - Orange Isle
I took my kids to these places:
1️⃣ Orange Isle
2️⃣ Meixi Lake Knot Bridge
3️⃣ Wuyi Square
4️⃣ Bisha Lake Subway Station
5️⃣ Huangxing Square
6️⃣ Yuelu Mountain
7️⃣ Meixi Lake Art Center
💢💢💢
Traveling with kids, rest is so important~ I chose the [The Luxury Collection Changsha Jinmao Hotel], which is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The hotel service is very warm, and you can rest well while traveling.
📍Location
It is very close to the subway station, and the subway line 2 goes directly to it. Next to it is the Meixi Lake Art Center, which is very close to Orange Isle, Yuelu Mountain, and the Chinese Knot Bridge. It is very convenient to take photos and check in. Wuyi Square is directly accessible by subway.
The hotel room is spacious, and the Meixi Lake Art Center is right outside the window, with a great view! The bath is Byredo, the bathrobe is flannel, and there is Asuri magazine!
The children's favorite is the hotel's pet park, where they can play for a long time: horses, deer, alpacas, lop-eared rabbits, piglets, etc. can all interact, and there is also a small playground next to it.
The hotel's infinity pool is really romantic, with a great view, and the gym and spa are also very good. The lobby bar combines elegance and modern design. When you are tired of playing, you can have an afternoon tea with both looks and taste. The design is full of Changsha culture, and you can see the little thoughts everywhere.
Restaurant🍴
The dining environment of the Wild Restaurant on the first floor is very comfortable, with a wide variety of food in the morning, and it is very delicious. My two kids are very satisfied with the food every day! The dinner buffet is very complete, with a variety of global dishes, and you can also eat local Hunan cuisine! There are also various internet-famous restaurants around the hotel.
I really love Changsha, wait for good weather, and set off again on a weekend~
Not Switzerland! I found a fairy tale secret place in Yunnan. I've been to Yunnan n times.
Not Switzerland! I found a fairy tale secret place in Yunnan.
I've been to Yunnan n times,
and finally went to Xueda Lake, which I've wanted to visit for a long time.
This is the only place in Shangri-La
where you can see the reflection of Meili Snow Mountain
and the golden mountain at sunrise.
There are very few tourists, and it's a beautiful secret place hidden in the mountains.
How to get there?
Navigate directly to Shuoda Village.
Route: Shangri-La - Benzilan - Deqin County - Foshan Township - Shuoda Village,
about 250 km, 5 hours.
The whole journey is on paved roads. The hardest part is the 50-minute drive up the mountain. Although it's a cement road, the winding and narrow roads are still challenging. New drivers should not try it easily.
Accommodation
Stay in Shuoda Village. If you want to see the golden mountain at sunrise, it's recommended to stay in Shuoda Village. Although it's a small village, the accommodation is still good.
Cost: about 600
Stay in Foshan Township. If you don't want to see the golden mountain at sunrise, you can stay at the foot of the mountain, which is Foshan Township.
Cost: 100–200
Travel time
The weather is stable in autumn and winter, and the chance of seeing snow-capped mountains is higher.
The trees have also turned yellow recently, so you can take pictures of both the snow-capped mountains and the autumn scenery. The yellow trees are expected to last until November, so hurry up!
48 hours Flash trip to Copenhagen? Why not!
Copenhagen.
48-hour flash trip to Copenhagen? Why not!
Copenhagen, known as *the capital of Hygge*, is expensive for everything (except for transportation). Hence, here are 10 free attractions and money-saving tips for Copenhagen:
1. Stroll around Nyhavn. Whether it's daytime or evening, it offers different vibes.
2. Visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum on the last Wednesday of each month for free. The second floor showcases works by Impressionist masters like Monet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin.
3. Visit Thorvaldsens Museum for free every Wednesday.
4. Wondering around the Open market: TorvehallerneKBH in the city center. The food is expensive though, so just feast with your eyes.
5. Wander the streets. Along Gråbrødretorv, Strøget, or Værnedamsvej, you'll find old houses, cafes, and home goods stores filled with Hygge elements.
6. Visit Nordic churches. Surprisingly, most churches in Copenhagen are free to enter. Whether it's the minimalist Church of Our Lady or the grand Frederik's Church with the largest dome in Scandinavia, they bring a sense of inner peace.
7. Explore the Royal Library, and take a walk along the canal to admire Nordic architecture.
8. Check out Nyboder, a filming location for *The Danish Girl*. These rows of simple yellow buildings, built in the 17th and 18th centuries, were once naval barracks. Nearby, Kastellet, a star-shaped fortress, is still an active military base. There are guards at the entrance, but locals prefer jogging around its walls.
9. Travelling from the airport to the city, whether by train or metro, it costs only DKK 30 (HKD 33.6), which is quite reasonable for European airport transportation. Metro day passes are also available—details can be found via the DOT Ticket app.
10. If accommodation in Copenhagen is too expensive, consider staying in nearby cities like Malmö or Helsingør, which are within an hour's travel time. Factoring in transportation costs, it might be cheaper than staying in Copenhagen itself.
Some might say traveling to Scandinavia is always expensive, and that people without money shouldn’t go. But this journey to discover Nordic happiness led me to read *The Little Book of Hygge* before my trip, and I learned that Hygge isn’t about spending more to gain happiness. If high costs make you uncomfortable, you’ve missed the point of Hygge.

✨ Guanxian South Bridge
Dujiangyan, exit to South Bridge, South Bridge is connected to Guanxian Ancient City

Wenmiao Street! Various interesting antique ornaments, but when I went, a retro street had already been demolished, and at the end was a red wall.
✨ Tianfu Source Bridge
To see the blue tears, don't go to South Bridge!!
The lights come on at 6:00 pm, and the photos are amazing. Be sure to bring a fill light and a viewing light.
✨ Tianfu Yantianwo Square
Across the street from Tianfu Source Bridge is a giant panda selfie spot, and there are some photo spots nearby that you shouldn't miss.
✨ Zhongshuge
If you have time, you can go there. It's about a 15-minute drive away. It's one of those places that you can skip, but you'll regret it if you do. The photos are amazing. I went there on the second day of my self-driving tour of western Sichuan.
Eat in the ancient town. The online recommendations are generally good.
🇵🇹 Lisbon Old Town One-Day City Walk Itinerary
Lisbon is a city perfect for city walks, despite its undulating slopes that can be quite tiring on the legs. However, this is also a unique feature of the city. As you stroll through the old town, you can see the city's worn charm, which does not detract from its appeal. The city exudes a relaxed atmosphere, and the streets are full of character.
During my day in Lisbon, the weather was unpredictable, with intermittent rain ☔️ and sunshine 🌞. Regardless of the conditions, every snapshot was picturesque. Here are some of the beautiful spots I captured:
Photo 2️⃣3️⃣: Bica Funicular, a hill-climbing tool that offers a stunning view of the sea at its highest point. I recommend taking a taxi directly to the top 📍Livraria Antiquaria do Calhariz to save some legwork‼️
Photo 4️⃣: The first intersection after climbing the Bica Funicular, where you can capture a side view of the funicular.
Photos 5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣: Starting from the Bica Funicular, follow the route of Tram 28 🚃 and walk along the undulating roads. Every shot is beautiful, although it was raining when we walked this stretch, and it would be even more stunning on a sunny day.
Photo 8️⃣: After walking through the narrow alleys, you'll arrive at a large intersection 📍Cc.Estrela Tram Station, where you can also capture the blue jacaranda trees. The sun suddenly came out when we reached this spot, after raining earlier 🌧️.
Photo 9️⃣: Located at 📍Rua de Sao Felix, this area is a quiet residential district with few people and beautiful scenery, including views of the sea.
Photo 10: Lisbon Cathedral, capturing the scene of a tram passing by.
Photos 11·12: Miradouro de Santa Luzia, a free viewpoint where you can gaze at the red rooftops and the sea.
Photo 1️⃣: Taken on the way from Lisbon Cathedral to Miradouro de Santa Luzia, I loved this shot so much that I used it as the cover photo. It's a picture I think could be made into a fridge magnet‼️
Photos 13·14·15: Located at 📍Chafariz das Moiras, this spot is absolutely stunning‼️ There's a beautiful blue jacaranda tree 🌸.
Photos 16·17: São Jorge Castle, in my opinion, is the best viewpoint in Lisbon. It's situated at the highest point, offering a 360-degree panoramic view. Although there's an entrance fee, the view is indeed better than the free viewpoints, with fewer people. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset 🌇. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal during our visit, with too many clouds and no sunset to see. There were also many peacocks 🦚 inside.

This hotel in Shanghai is my favorite!
I went to Shanghai a while ago and spent a long time choosing a hotel. I finally decided to stay at the Seagull on the Bund Hotel. As soon as I entered, I could feel the unique atmosphere. It wasn't cold and luxurious, but warm and stylish. I was really surprised. 😆 Here is my experience. If you like it, please like and save it.
😍 Hotel Highlights
1️⃣ Amazing views: If you stay in the Seagull Suite or a room with a king bed on the 11th floor, you can enjoy views of the Bund and Waibaidu Bridge. The view is beautiful at night when the lights are on. It's a great place to enjoy the view. 💕
2️⃣ Thoughtful service: The butler service is considerate. I communicated with them in advance about birthday decorations. They not only upgraded my room, but also provided welcome fruit and cake. The staff were friendly and made me feel happy. 😊
3️⃣ Exquisite decor: The hotel is themed around the sea and flowers, with Lingnan-style decor. The crystal chandeliers and spiral staircases have an "old money" feel. The details are great, and it's a great place to take photos. 📸
🍕 Great food
1️⃣ Afternoon tea: The afternoon tea is on the first floor. It looks and tastes great. The pistachio caramel crisp is delicious. You can take photos on the sofa with your own lighting. You can also take photos with the piano. There aren't many people, and the staff are friendly.
2️⃣ Breakfast: The Chinese and Western food is authentic. The noodles are from Songhelou. You can enjoy the view of the river while eating. 🥰
3️⃣ Jinlin Chinese Restaurant: The Cantonese food is good, and the views of the river are amazing.
‼️ Tips
1️⃣ Room selection: The rooms aren't very spacious. If you have a large budget, I recommend choosing a suite. 💴
2️⃣ Afternoon tea: You can walk in at around 5 pm, but the large sofa is a little dirty, so take photos quickly. 📷 The lighting is better during the day. 🌞
Photo locations: In addition to the room, the afternoon tea sofa, the sofa and screen to the left of the entrance, and the stairs are all great places to take photos.
🌟 Notes: The corridors have a strong fragrance, and the wardrobe smells like new decor. Remember to close the curtains, as the room is quite visible from outside at night. 😲
Overall, the Seagull on the Bund Hotel is really worth staying at. The small flaws don't affect the overall experience. I'll come back for the view. 😉
I thought Huangshan was beautiful, until I arrived at the place described in Li Bai's poems...
🌟 I had long heard that Shenxianju in Taizhou, Zhejiang, was a picturesque place, like a fairyland straight out of Li Bai's poems. Finally, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, I set foot on this mysterious land to see for myself. When I stood there, gazing at the indescribable beauty before me, I was filled with awe and joy. At that moment, I wanted to shout, "Shenxianju, I'm here!" But I was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of this paradise, so I could only silently marvel in my heart: "I dare not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the heavenly beings." 😉
🌄 Shenxianju is truly a place worth visiting again and again! The peaks here are unique, steep, and majestic, yet they exude a sense of friendliness. After taking the cable car up the mountain from the south or north gate, you'll find the mountain paths surprisingly gentle, making it easy for even those not adept at hiking to enjoy the scenery. What's more, there's a long section of the mountain path equipped with an elevator, making it incredibly convenient! It's suitable for all ages and perfect for a family outing. 🤗
🌅 Although I didn't get to experience the sunrise and sunset at the mountain top this time, the process of waiting for the sunset at Laojuntai was already mesmerizing. The breathtaking beauty filled me with positive energy. Shenxianju at sunset is even more dreamy and enchanting. ✨
🥤 During your visit, don't miss the stop near Nantian Bridge after descending from Nantian Peak—Bawang Chaji. Enjoy a cup of milk tea that even the immortals love, and savor the unique leisure and comfort. It's truly one of the joys of travel. 🥰
🎁 How can you visit Shenxianju without bringing back some souvenirs? I recommend trying the "Shenxian Danu" brand's Dongkui bayberries and related products. These local specialties from Xianju make the perfect gifts for friends and family. 💝
📷 Finally, for those who love taking photos, Shenxianju is a must-visit. Foying Lianyun, Laojuntai, Ruyi Bridge, Nantian Peak, Wolong Bridge... Every corner is a perfect photo spot, guaranteed to fill up your phone's memory! 📸
The first stop in Kunming should start here!
🎈 Kunming, this beautiful city has so many surprises waiting for you to discover! When you use Kunming as a transit station for Lijiang and Dali, don't miss its charming scenery! Especially Haigeng Dam, which is definitely a great place to take photos!
🌟 Come and enjoy a one-day Kunming city walk! Start from Haigeng Dam, all the way to Green Lake Park to enjoy the green willows and fragrant lotus, then to the Kunming Army Lecture Hall to witness history and solemnity, as well as the charming Huangpu East Street, the bustling Kunming Old Street, and the popular Wine Glass Building that will amaze you! Don't forget the circular building of Aocheng Building, which is super impressive! Finally, enjoy the ocean of flowers at the largest Dounan Flower Market in Asia!
🤩 There are so many treasure spots here! Haigeng Dam, with Siberian seagulls in autumn and winter, feed the seagulls, take beautiful photos, and be cool! The beautiful scenery of Green Lake Park is unforgettable! The changing of the guard ceremony at the Army Lecture Hall is not to be missed!
👣 All of the above attractions are free, except for Haigeng Dam and Dounan Flower Market, which are a little far away and require a subway ride, the others are all close together, making it super convenient to visit!
🎉 How can you come to Yunnan without trying the wild mushroom hot pot! Be sure to go to Haigeng Dam in the morning, there are fewer people and it's easier to take photos! There are also American-style tofu, Guandu Baba, steam pot chicken, freshly baked flower cakes, and cross-bridge rice noodles waiting for you to taste!
🛏️ For accommodation, choose Kunming Qingfeng Inn at Haigeng Dam, the garden is beautiful, with small bridges and flowing water, tea by the stove, and a courtyard full of succulents. The rooms are stylish and environmentally friendly, with a Nordic minimalist style, warm white, fully intelligent, dry and wet separation, it's just great!
💖 Kunming is such a place that you don't want to leave once you come, come and start your dream journey!
First time traveling to Jeju Island, I recommend copying this travel guide
Taking advantage of the weekend holiday and visa-free policy
With just 1.5 hours of flight✈️ time, I flew from Ningbo to Jeju Island
I stayed in a countryside homestay in a seaside village in Hallim-eup
This is a typical Jeju Island🏝️ stone house🛖
The accommodation space is Japanese-style, mainly in wooden tones
Not far from the door is the fishing village port⚓️ and offshore wind turbines
Sitting on the lawn of the courtyard🏡, you can feel the gentle sea breeze blowing
🔵Sharing some beautiful photo📷 spots in Jeju Island
❶ Seongsan Ilchulbong, the left check-in point is free and does not require a ticket🎫
❷ Udo Island, taking a speedboat🚤 you can see five attractions on Udo Island, very worthwhile
❸ Aewol-eup, Coffee Street, cafes like Team Blow☕️ are very photogenic
❹ Lazy Pump, near Aewol-eup, 🈶 a piano🎹 on the cliff and a window with a sea view, very beautiful
❺ Woljeong-ri Cafe Mou Moon, this window can see wind turbines and the sea
❻ Hamdeok Beach, Cafe Delmoondo, this place is also very photogenic
❼ Book Coffee in the old town, a bookstore in an alley, very quiet and liked
❽ Gwangchigi Beach, near Seopjikoji, this beach has a patch of moss, in winter it feels like Iceland, now the beach is full of white crinum lilies🌸
✔️ The homestay here checks out at 11 am and checks in at 4 pm. If you need to store your luggage🛅 in advance, you can contact the host
✔️ Hygiene is very important here, you need to take your own trash or put it in the designated place outside
Evangeline_7_Nightshade_91 I declare that Lijiang will become the next top photo spot
Discover Lijiang
You can see snow-capped mountains everywhere in Lijiang
But I really recommend this hidden gem
Only a 10-minute drive from Baisha Ancient Town
Be sure to choose a sunny day
Watch the sun quietly shine on the snow-capped mountains
All your unhappiness will be cured at this moment
.
📍Address: Yundi'an
⏰Time: The current time for the golden sunlight on the mountain is around 7:30–8:00. Arrive 20 minutes early.
.
✅Accommodation tips
When traveling to Lijiang, I always stay at the [Hotel Indigo Lijiang Ancient Town], which is located in Lijiang Ancient Town. When you walk into the lobby, you can see the Tea Horse Road cultural elements everywhere. The hotel is backed by snow-capped mountains, with villa-style buildings and flowers everywhere. It is really healing. The room is also very spacious, and the interior is even more surprising, combining traditional and modern design elements, with the stability of classical furniture and the convenience of modern facilities. Lying on the bed, you can see the night view of Lijiang Ancient Town through the window, which is so beautiful. There is also a super large bathtub for you to enjoy. If you don't want to go out to see the snow-capped mountains, you can also see the golden sunlight on the mountain in the lobby of the InterContinental Hotel opposite Indigo. Indigo's breakfast can also be eaten at the InterContinental, where you can enjoy breakfast while watching the snow-capped mountains. It's really amazing.

🌸 It is recommended to rent a small electric bike, which is convenient to go anywhere. Sightseeing buses on the island charge by trip.
🌹 Be sure to go when the weather is sunny, the scenery is more beautiful. It was a pity that the weather was bad when I took the photos.
🌹 The sun is strong by the sea, so take sun protection measures. Meizhou Island is not very cold in winter.
🌹 When eating at a seafood restaurant, be sure to check the price first and pay attention to the unit to avoid being ripped off.

The entire hotel building is equipped with a high-end geothermal system, so it doesn't feel damp or cold even though it is located in the valley.
We booked a double room in a minimalist wabi-sabi style, with a large floor-to-ceiling window and a large terrace, where you can get close to nature! There is also a private bath pool, where you can soak in the natural mineral water from more than 2,000 meters underground, and the fatigue of a day of playing will disappear instantly!
