Not sponsored. Just sharing a great find 💡 This trip was seriously one of the best value-for-money getaways I’ve had! We spent only RMB 1,800 per person (about SGD 340) for 4 days and 3 nights — including food, accommodation, entertainment, and activities. 🤯 No extra charges for shows, games, or kid-friendly activities. Everything was included! Let’s be honest — in Singapore, even a casual meal can cost RMB 400+. But here? It was eat, sleep, play, repeat — all on a luxury ship. I may not be good at everything, but I’m definitely top-tier at finding travel steals 😎 (Remember when I spent just RMB 6,000 for an 8-day Europe cruise with my kid? Yup, nailed it again!) ❤️ If you’re interested, I’ll keep sharing great cruise deals when I spot them — totally free, just trying to help others save and travel smart! ✨ Trip Recap: 💰 Price: ~RMB 1,800 per person (3 pax room – 2 adults + 1 child, incl. taxes) 🏠 Room Type: Interior cabin (amazing value — will explain more in a later post!) 🚢 Ship: Genting Dream 🗺️ Route: Singapore → Penang → Melaka → Singapore (4D3N) #cruiselife #gentingdream #budgetcruise #familyvacation #travelwithkids #cruisetips #singaporetravel #cruisedeals #nosponsorshipjustsharing #smarttravel #seaescape

Wangxian Valley 2 days 1 night guide: The true Xianxia world! NPC interactions are so addictive After rewatching "Cang Lan Jue," I was crazy about the same Xianxia scenes and decisively dragged my bestie to Wangxian Valley for the weekend. Before departure, I saw many polarized reviews, but after experiencing it myself, I want to say: this is literally the real-life "Yunmengze"! Especially the NPC interactions, so fun I want to replay it many times. Here’s a detailed guide for you to save~ 🚄 Transportation Guide: Direct and non-detouring - High-speed rail: Nanjing → Shangrao Station, then take a direct shuttle bus to Wangxian Valley (30 RMB/person), 1.5 hours straight to the scenic entrance, super convenient. - Self-driving: Navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center," plenty of parking, suitable for families or groups. 🏠 Accommodation options? Two experiences for you to choose from - Cost-effective choice: Homestays near the scenic area, affordable (about 200-400 RMB/night), 10-minute walk to the entrance, perfect for budget travelers. - Immersive first choice: Cliffside homestays inside the scenic area! Open the window to a full canyon view, in the early morning mist it feels like living in a cloud palace. The downside is they are hard to book and pricier (about 800-1500 RMB/night), but the experience is top-notch. 🌈 2 days 1 night itinerary: Beautiful from day to night 𝑫𝒂𝒚 1: Daytime exploring & eating + NPC interactions, evening chasing night views - Noon: Enter the scenic area early! Watch the Xianxia town transform from daylight to dazzling lights, full of ceremony. First, go to Baiwei Street for a bite, Shangrao chicken leg and Dengzhan rice cakes are must-tries, the fragrant fried tofu is refreshing and cuts the greasiness. - Afternoon: Immersive NPC interactions (key! Don’t miss) - "Jin’s Bank": NPCs are super lively, play the size comparison game to win silver tickets. My bestie and I “cooperated” to win a bunch and exchanged them for small gifts, very rewarding. - "Yang Mansion Tales": Mysterious stories in the ancient house, so tense I covered my mouth the whole time, the immersion is amazing. - "Han Wedding": The Chinese wedding performance is super sweet, wearing the phoenix crown and embroidered robe instantly made me understand what “Chinese romantic peak” means. - "Jar Shadow Acrobatics": The acrobats’ high-altitude flips made people scream, recommend getting front row seats 10 minutes early. - Evening to night: Stroll along the check-in route, watch the lights turn on one by one. The waterfall with lighting at Yanpu Square is super stunning, and the lantern strings at the old walled building feel like stepping into a drama scene. 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2: Early morning fairy mist + free roaming - Morning: Wake up naturally and enter the valley again (if staying inside the scenic area, just open the window to see the view). Wangxian Valley in autumn looks like an impressionist painting, morning mist swirling around the cliffside homes, every photo looks like it has a “fairy filter.” - Noon: Leisurely stroll through Workshop Street, watch artisans making wooden movable type and silverware, buy a small souvenir. 📸 Classic photo spots: Avoid crowds for great shots 1. Lanyue Bridge: Best during the “blue hour” 30 minutes after sunset, lights just on, sky still blue, bridge and cliffside homes in one frame, atmosphere maxed out. 2. Baige Bridge: Can capture Baihe Cliff, Lanyue Bridge, and the ancient village all at once, recommend shooting in the morning with good light for clearer pictures. 3. Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlooking all the lights in the valley, especially after night lighting, like a god’s view of “Yunmengze” with thousands of lights, breathtakingly spectacular. 💡 Practical tips - Shoes: Many steps in the scenic area, definitely wear non-slip comfortable shoes, don’t wear heels just for photos (learned the hard way). - Clothing: Big temperature difference between morning and night in autumn, recommend thin layers underneath (easy for photos) + long coat (for mornings and evenings). Wearing traditional costumes makes photos better; rentals available in the scenic area (about 100 RMB/day). - Map: Get a hand-drawn map at the visitor center, follow the route “Waterfall Cluster → Baiwei Street → Yang Mansion Square → Glass Walkway → Chahe Tower” to avoid detours and hit all highlights. - Off-peak: Weekends are crowded, arrive 15 minutes early for performances; weekdays offer a better experience with more relaxed NPC interactions. The magic of Wangxian Valley is that it’s not just a “photo spot,” but a place where you truly immerse yourself in the Xianxia world—joking with NPCs like neighbors, feeling like you’ve stepped into a script when the lights come on. This kind of joy, only those who come will understand!

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Jiudao Gate: Nine stilted buildings connected together, staggered and embedded on the hillside. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

We went to Queenstown with the kids because of its reputation as the "Garden of the World," but it turns out this garden is for adults to enjoy. For kids, it's full of "not suitable for children" extreme challenges! Planning a family trip? Read my painful experience first! A rundown of those "not kid-friendly" must-try activities: 🚡 Skyline Gondola: The gondola itself is fine. But the luge on top is strictly for kids 6 years and older and taller than 110cm, and helmets are mandatory. My 5-year-old watched longingly but couldn’t play, which led to a meltdown. It’s windy up there, and the viewing platform has gaps in the railing, so you have to keep a close eye on the kids. 🚢 TSS Steamboat + Farm: The boat is an old classic and quite interesting. But the farm activities have fixed times and last nearly 4 hours, which is torture for little ones who don’t nap regularly. The sheep-shearing show is indoors and dimly lit, which can scare some kids. 🐎 Glenorchy Horse Riding / Lord of the Rings Tour: Horse riding has strict age and weight limits (usually 8+ years). The jet boat ride is more thrilling, but kids are too scared to go. The so-called "Lord of the Rings town" is just ordinary scenery for kids who haven’t seen the movies. 🦌 Queenstown Deer Park: Requires booking well in advance, limited to 80 cars per day. You can’t get out of the car inside, animals are far away, and kids get bored quickly. Not cost-effective. 🪂 Other extreme activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, giant swing... just watch from afar, none are suitable for young kids. What else can you do with kids in Queenstown? (Our exploration) Free Lakeside Playground: The playground by Queenstown Beach is great, facing the lake and mountains, kids can play for hours. Fruit Town Cromwell: A short drive from Queenstown, with various fruit shops and ice cream stores. In summer, you can pick cherries, which kids love. Arrowtown: Quieter than Queenstown, with golden autumn leaves, a short main street perfect for a casual stroll with kids and grabbing a pie. Indoor Playground: If it rains or is too cold, visit Lollipop’s Playland in town to let the kids burn off some energy. Core Tips for Family Trips in Queenstown: Be clear about your goals: If adults want to do extreme sports, don’t bring very young kids or arrange to take turns watching them. Stay lakeside: Choose accommodation within walking distance of Lake Wakatipu to save travel time and easily take kids to throw stones by the lake. Downgrade food plans: The famous Fergburger lines are crazy long and not worth the hassle with kids. Buy groceries at the supermarket to cook at your place or find quiet cafes. Drive safely: Bring a child safety seat that meets New Zealand standards. Queenstown is an adventurer’s paradise, not a playground for toddlers. Its beauty requires a certain age and courage to appreciate. If your kids are still young, treat this place as a "scenic rest stop" rather than a "busy activity destination."

Next time, I’ll bring my parents too, to sip She ethnic red tea in the sea of clouds~

～～～ Just got back from Malacca. Before the trip, I checked hotel reviews and came across the hotel where Fan Ye stayed in Malacca. I was instantly captivated by the resort’s Nanyang style! After staying three days, even my friends kept saying at checkout: Next time we come to Malacca, we have to stay here‼️ Here, on one side is the tranquility of a tropical oasis, and on the other is the rich Peranakan culture. You can enjoy Nanyang-style cuisine, and the outlet mall is just nearby—truly a “one-stop vacation” 🌴 🏨 PARKROYAL A’Famosa Melaka Resort ⛱️ Environment & Location The hotel is hidden in Malacca’s natural oasis. Right outside is the wildlife park, and it’s a 15-minute walk to the outlet mall. It perfectly combines “history, nature, family fun, and shopping”! Woken up by tropical birdsong in the morning, open the balcony door to a lush garden, and the golf course’s greenery is in full view nearby—vacation vibes maxed out 🌿 🏡 Exterior & Architecture As soon as you enter, you’re immersed in Baba-Nyonya style! The entire place features solid wood furniture and distinctive tiles, with every wall telling the story of Malacca’s heritage. The 213 rooms and suites are scattered throughout the garden. The public areas, including the pool and restaurants, exude a laid-back Nanyang feel, especially the poolside bar and pool area—every photo you take screams vacation mode. No wonder even Fan Ye chose to stay here when visiting Malacca 🧚‍♀️ 🛏️ Rooms & Facilities This time I stayed in the brand-new Junior Suite, which is very spacious. Modern decor mixed with Peranakan elements, with great attention to detail! You can also enjoy executive lounge privileges. The resort is equipped with a pool, kids’ pool, playground, and a 24-hour gym to meet the vacation needs of all ages 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 🍴 Dining Experience ▪️ Spice Brasserie: Even the buffet breakfast here is full of surprises!

Walking into Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity at the Flower Dome felt like stepping into a carefully curated Chinese New Year landscape. This year's exhibit centres on eight life-sized illuminated horse lanterns, handcrafted by artisans from Zigong, Sichuan, using traditional lantern-making techniques with roots tracing back to the Tang Dynasty. Inspired by Ba Jun Tu (八骏图), the horses symbolise strength, perseverance, momentum and success for the Year of the Horse. The surrounding display features over 10,000 plants, arranged in the style of classical Jiangnan gardens, complete with moon gates, pavilions, cascading water features and limestone rockery. Floral highlights include plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo - the “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese art - alongside seasonal blooms such as azaleas and dahlias. Housed within the climate-controlled Flower Dome, the exhibit combines horticultural expertise with cultural symbolism, offering a calm and immersive way to mark the Chinese New Year season. 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026 #thehedegehogtravels #thehedgehogknows #chinesenewyear2026 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026

Heaven on Earth Couldn’t Be More Perfect! Semporna Healing Travel Guide🌊 Who understands! The sea in Semporna is like the sky crushed and poured into the ocean, so clear you can see tropical fish darting through coral reefs. Every snap is a stunning, unfiltered masterpiece—this is the true island utopia! We've compiled a super practical guide to help you avoid pitfalls and enjoy this earthly paradise with ease👇 ✈️ Travel Essentials & Transportation Tips • Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, super convenient, but your passport must be valid for more than 6 months—don’t forget this! • Many small shops in Semporna only accept cash, so exchange your Malaysian Ringgit in advance for peace of mind; local ATMs support UnionPay withdrawals with a small fee. • The best choice for SIM cards is Celcom, with wide coverage and stable signals even out at sea. Many small tour groups even offer free SIM cards—great value! • Flights to Tawau via Kota Kinabalu are better! It takes just over 40 minutes to get there, and prices are half of those with Kuala Lumpur transfers. Save money and enjoy two extra seafood meals~ 🏨 Accommodation Tips & Island Recommendations • Don’t be tempted by cheap water chalets! Those costing just a few hundred ringgit have poor conditions and few entertainment options, wasting Semporna’s beautiful scenery. • Highly recommend Mabul Island Resort! It’s the only accommodation on the entire island, with no entry for non-guests, ensuring maximum privacy. The island’s trailing sandy beach is stunning—at low tide, you can stroll on fine sand. Be sure to book in advance! • Most resorts charge all-inclusive per person; solo travelers need to pay a room supplement. It’s better to travel with friends for higher cost-effectiveness. 🗺️ Classic 6-7 Day Itinerary (Kuala Lumpur + Semporna) 1. Kuala Lumpur 1 day: Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square to experience the blend of urban and cultural vibes; 2. Malacca 1 day: Explore the Dutch Red House and Jonker Street, and enjoy an authentic bowl of Nyonya cuisine on this historic street; 3. Semporna 3-4 days: Go snorkeling to explore the underwater world, relax at the resort watching the sea, and enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle; 4. If you have extra time, add Kota Kinabalu: Chase the stunning pink-purple sunsets, try sunset paddleboarding, venture into tropical rainforests to see fireflies—an unforgettable experience! 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Tips • Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can hike. The sea view from the summit is breathtaking, but be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes as the trails are not easy. • Semporna has very strong UV rays; high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential, or you’ll get sunburned and peeling in no time! If you also yearn for a healing trip of blue seas, skies, and coconut groves, Semporna is definitely worth the trip! Here, even the sea breeze carries the scent of freedom—you won’t want to leave once you arrive💙

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here, until I brought my kids to this silver world covered in white snow and discovered that the winter scenery is even more stunning! Perfect for family trips around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong, plan a weekend two-day tour to let your kids experience the romance of ice and snow～ . Here’s my two-day, one-night family travel itinerary: Day❶: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge ➠ Stay at the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area Day❷: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ (Families with more time can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong for a more relaxed pace) . ❄️ Guangwu Mountain family travel route and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Swallow Ridge loop trail. The sunrise sea of clouds combined with snow scenery looks like a fairyland! Kids find the cable car ride super exciting, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking, with kids exclaiming all the way. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain A must-visit for snow viewing! Hop on the scenic area shuttle bus and quickly enter a world of white snow. The rime frost hanging on branches looks like crystal curtains ❄️, with a new view at every step. Walking on the plank road with kids, stepping on snow and hearing the “crunch” sound is so much fun. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can’t imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds would be on a sunny day! After the visit, head straight to Daba Ski Resort to unlock various snow activities with your kids. . 📸 Family photo tips: 1️⃣ Dress your kids in bright colors! Red/pink/blue look amazing against the snow, making family photos super beautiful. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden cabins) to highlight the snow scenery. Have kids do cute actions like building snow or throwing snow for instant great shots. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles/snow-covered leaves 🍂/close-ups of kids’ footprints to record the little joys of family travel. 4️⃣ It’s best to visit on a sunny day; the rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow scenery are truly breathtaking! 5️⃣ There are few food options in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and warm water to avoid hunger. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without long travel, making it super convenient with kids. . ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must when traveling with kids. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly～

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower. In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts, too, and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits. Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set. Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms. Location wise, very near to the causeway. #johorbahruhotels #travel #staycation #johor

Under the damp and chilly magic of Jiangnan, the best way to fight back is to find a real hot spring and soak yourself in warmth. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring is undoubtedly a top choice. It boasts tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest and represents authentic natural scenery and genuine hot springs. In winter, soaking in the calcium bicarbonate spring while admiring the sparse snowy bamboo forest around is the most luxurious relaxation for the whole family. 💧Why is it called "Yushui Hot Spring"? Core advantages explained • Authentic water quality: Sourced from beneath the surface, it is an officially certified natural hot spring, rich in various minerals, leaving skin smooth after soaking, unlike ordinary hot water. • Excellent environment: The hot spring pools are built along the mountain, staggered and embedded within the bamboo sea, offering great privacy. The pools blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, unlike crowded indoor pools. • Variety of pools: There are dozens of special pools, such as infused pools (with flower petals, Chinese herbs), dynamic pools, couples pools, and a children’s play pool designed for families (with lower water temperature, suitable for kids to play). 👨‍👩‍👧Complete guide for families soaking with kids • Recommended order: First, let the kids get used to the children’s play pool or the ordinary pool with lower temperature and play for a while. Then try other special pools, soaking no more than 15 minutes each time. • Safety and hygiene: Always supervise children to prevent slipping or choking. Require kids to wash before soaking and drink plenty of water during. • Warmth details: When getting out of the pool, quickly wrap the child in a large towel and head to the nearest warm corridor or rest area. The resort provides bathrobes, but bringing thicker towels or children’s robes is warmer. • Fun activities: Play a “pool hunt game” with the kids, using a map to find the most unique pools (like the “Bamboo Tip Hot Spring” on the bamboo tips), adding to the exploration fun. 🗓️Relaxed two-day one-night itinerary framework • Day 1: Arrival and immersion Afternoon: Drive or take transport to Tianmu Lake Resort Area and check into the hotel. Evening: Head to Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring to enjoy the tranquility of night soaking (the bamboo forest lit up at night is uniquely charming). After soaking, enjoy clay pot fish head soup in the resort. • Day 2: Leisurely return or combined sightseeing Option A (pure relaxation): Sleep in naturally, stroll around the hotel or nearby, then return in the afternoon. Option B (with sightseeing): After checkout in the morning, visit nearby Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea (see follow-up guide) or Tianmu Lake Landscape Park, then return in the afternoon. 🍲Food philosophy before and after soaking • Before soaking: Avoid overeating or fasting; eat a small amount of easily digestible food. • After soaking: The body consumes a lot of energy and needs replenishment. Tianmu Lake’s signature clay pot fish head (bighead carp) is a must-order, with milky white broth and incredible freshness. Pair it with local Liyang farmhouse dishes like stuffed liver, white celery, and black rice for a fully satisfying meal. 🏡Stay by the hot spring to extend the warmth There are many accommodations around the hot spring, from high-end to unique: Liyang Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort Hotel: Seamlessly connected to the hot spring, some rooms have private hot spring baths, allowing you to soak downstairs— the most convenient and luxurious choice. Liyang Zhuxi Valley Hotel: A wild luxury hotel hidden in the bamboo valley, each villa has a private infinity pool and hot spring bath, offering top privacy, design, and harmony with nature. Liyang Tianmu Lake Hotel: A long-established five-star hotel with the best lake views of Tianmu Lake, standardized service, ideal for families obsessed with lake views. At Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring, time is meant to be wasted. When the warm spring water flows over your shoulders, watching the snow on the bamboo tips or the cold stars in the night sky, all fatigue and worries evaporate. This is a healing journey to recharge and renew energy for the whole family.

Not sponsored. Just sharing a great find 💡 This trip was seriously one of the best value-for-money getaways I’ve had! We spent only RMB 1,800 per person (about SGD 340) for 4 days and 3 nights — including food, accommodation, entertainment, and activities. 🤯 No extra charges for shows, games, or kid-friendly activities. Everything was included! Let’s be honest — in Singapore, even a casual meal can cost RMB 400+. But here? It was eat, sleep, play, repeat — all on a luxury ship. I may not be good at everything, but I’m definitely top-tier at finding travel steals 😎 (Remember when I spent just RMB 6,000 for an 8-day Europe cruise with my kid? Yup, nailed it again!) ❤️ If you’re interested, I’ll keep sharing great cruise deals when I spot them — totally free, just trying to help others save and travel smart! ✨ Trip Recap: 💰 Price: ~RMB 1,800 per person (3 pax room – 2 adults + 1 child, incl. taxes) 🏠 Room Type: Interior cabin (amazing value — will explain more in a later post!) 🚢 Ship: Genting Dream 🗺️ Route: Singapore → Penang → Melaka → Singapore (4D3N) #cruiselife #gentingdream #budgetcruise #familyvacation #travelwithkids #cruisetips #singaporetravel #cruisedeals #nosponsorshipjustsharing #smarttravel #seaescape

Wangxian Valley 2 days 1 night guide: The true Xianxia world! NPC interactions are so addictive After rewatching "Cang Lan Jue," I was crazy about the same Xianxia scenes and decisively dragged my bestie to Wangxian Valley for the weekend. Before departure, I saw many polarized reviews, but after experiencing it myself, I want to say: this is literally the real-life "Yunmengze"! Especially the NPC interactions, so fun I want to replay it many times. Here’s a detailed guide for you to save~ 🚄 Transportation Guide: Direct and non-detouring - High-speed rail: Nanjing → Shangrao Station, then take a direct shuttle bus to Wangxian Valley (30 RMB/person), 1.5 hours straight to the scenic entrance, super convenient. - Self-driving: Navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center," plenty of parking, suitable for families or groups. 🏠 Accommodation options? Two experiences for you to choose from - Cost-effective choice: Homestays near the scenic area, affordable (about 200-400 RMB/night), 10-minute walk to the entrance, perfect for budget travelers. - Immersive first choice: Cliffside homestays inside the scenic area! Open the window to a full canyon view, in the early morning mist it feels like living in a cloud palace. The downside is they are hard to book and pricier (about 800-1500 RMB/night), but the experience is top-notch. 🌈 2 days 1 night itinerary: Beautiful from day to night 𝑫𝒂𝒚 1: Daytime exploring & eating + NPC interactions, evening chasing night views - Noon: Enter the scenic area early! Watch the Xianxia town transform from daylight to dazzling lights, full of ceremony. First, go to Baiwei Street for a bite, Shangrao chicken leg and Dengzhan rice cakes are must-tries, the fragrant fried tofu is refreshing and cuts the greasiness. - Afternoon: Immersive NPC interactions (key! Don’t miss) - "Jin’s Bank": NPCs are super lively, play the size comparison game to win silver tickets. My bestie and I “cooperated” to win a bunch and exchanged them for small gifts, very rewarding. - "Yang Mansion Tales": Mysterious stories in the ancient house, so tense I covered my mouth the whole time, the immersion is amazing. - "Han Wedding": The Chinese wedding performance is super sweet, wearing the phoenix crown and embroidered robe instantly made me understand what “Chinese romantic peak” means. - "Jar Shadow Acrobatics": The acrobats’ high-altitude flips made people scream, recommend getting front row seats 10 minutes early. - Evening to night: Stroll along the check-in route, watch the lights turn on one by one. The waterfall with lighting at Yanpu Square is super stunning, and the lantern strings at the old walled building feel like stepping into a drama scene. 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2: Early morning fairy mist + free roaming - Morning: Wake up naturally and enter the valley again (if staying inside the scenic area, just open the window to see the view). Wangxian Valley in autumn looks like an impressionist painting, morning mist swirling around the cliffside homes, every photo looks like it has a “fairy filter.” - Noon: Leisurely stroll through Workshop Street, watch artisans making wooden movable type and silverware, buy a small souvenir. 📸 Classic photo spots: Avoid crowds for great shots 1. Lanyue Bridge: Best during the “blue hour” 30 minutes after sunset, lights just on, sky still blue, bridge and cliffside homes in one frame, atmosphere maxed out. 2. Baige Bridge: Can capture Baihe Cliff, Lanyue Bridge, and the ancient village all at once, recommend shooting in the morning with good light for clearer pictures. 3. Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlooking all the lights in the valley, especially after night lighting, like a god’s view of “Yunmengze” with thousands of lights, breathtakingly spectacular. 💡 Practical tips - Shoes: Many steps in the scenic area, definitely wear non-slip comfortable shoes, don’t wear heels just for photos (learned the hard way). - Clothing: Big temperature difference between morning and night in autumn, recommend thin layers underneath (easy for photos) + long coat (for mornings and evenings). Wearing traditional costumes makes photos better; rentals available in the scenic area (about 100 RMB/day). - Map: Get a hand-drawn map at the visitor center, follow the route “Waterfall Cluster → Baiwei Street → Yang Mansion Square → Glass Walkway → Chahe Tower” to avoid detours and hit all highlights. - Off-peak: Weekends are crowded, arrive 15 minutes early for performances; weekdays offer a better experience with more relaxed NPC interactions. The magic of Wangxian Valley is that it’s not just a “photo spot,” but a place where you truly immerse yourself in the Xianxia world—joking with NPCs like neighbors, feeling like you’ve stepped into a script when the lights come on. This kind of joy, only those who come will understand!

Kazbegi – The Church Closest to Heaven Travel north from Tbilisi along the Military Highway, with picturesque scenery all the way. · Gudauri: A winter ski resort and a cool summer retreat. · Mount Kazbek and Gergeti Trinity Church: Located high above the village of Stepantsminda, this solitary church beneath the snow-capped mountain is an iconic image of Georgia.

Sighnaghi – The City of Love and Fine Wine Located in the Kakheti wine region, this small town is full of charm. · The Town of Love: Famous for its 24-hour marriage registration service, surrounded by city walls and filled with romantic atmosphere. · Wine Tasting: Kakheti is the birthplace of wine, known for its unique "Qvevri" clay pot winemaking method. Be sure to visit a family winery to taste the authentic "Saperavi" dry red and experience the Georgian passion for wine as "God’s love." 4. Mestia and Ushguli – The Hidden Gems of the Caucasus Mountains A paradise for hiking enthusiasts. · Mestia: The center of the Svaneti region, dotted with ancient defensive stone towers. It is also the starting point for trips to Ushguli and many glacier hiking routes. · Ushguli: The highest permanently inhabited village in Europe, listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.

Batumi – The Magical City by the Black Sea A seaside resort paradise where modernity meets tradition. · Black Sea Coast: Stroll along the seaside boulevard and enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze. · Ali and Nino Moving Sculpture: This touching kinetic sculpture is Batumi’s most famous landmark, symbolizing eternal love and separation. · Batumi Old Town: In sharp contrast to the modern casino buildings, this area is full of European-style streets and architecture. 3.

Stir and dip the bread in it—high in calories but full of happiness. · Churchkhela (Candle Candy): A street snack made from grape juice and nuts strung together, shaped like a candle, perfect for energy during hikes. · Wine: Besides those mentioned earlier, be sure to try different local varieties like "Saperavi" and "Kakheti" from various wineries. 4. Practical Tips · Transportation: There is a comfortable train from Tbilisi to Batumi; minibuses connect cities; for mountain areas, it’s recommended to rent a car or join local tours. · Accommodation: Tbilisi and Batumi offer a wide range of options from hostels to five-star hotels; in places like Mestia, staying in family guesthouses is a great way to deeply experience local culture. · Etiquette: Georgians are warm and hospitable. Respect their Orthodox Christian faith; women should cover their heads when entering churches, and both men and women should avoid overly revealing clothing. The charm of Georgia lies in its perfect blend of the grandeur of snowy peaks, the leisure by the deep sea, the weight of millennia of history, and the feast on your palate. Take this guide and discover the endless surprises this small Caucasus country has to offer!

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Jiudao Gate: Nine stilted buildings connected together, staggered and embedded on the hillside. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

We went to Queenstown with the kids because of its reputation as the "Garden of the World," but it turns out this garden is for adults to enjoy. For kids, it's full of "not suitable for children" extreme challenges! Planning a family trip? Read my painful experience first! A rundown of those "not kid-friendly" must-try activities: 🚡 Skyline Gondola: The gondola itself is fine. But the luge on top is strictly for kids 6 years and older and taller than 110cm, and helmets are mandatory. My 5-year-old watched longingly but couldn’t play, which led to a meltdown. It’s windy up there, and the viewing platform has gaps in the railing, so you have to keep a close eye on the kids. 🚢 TSS Steamboat + Farm: The boat is an old classic and quite interesting. But the farm activities have fixed times and last nearly 4 hours, which is torture for little ones who don’t nap regularly. The sheep-shearing show is indoors and dimly lit, which can scare some kids. 🐎 Glenorchy Horse Riding / Lord of the Rings Tour: Horse riding has strict age and weight limits (usually 8+ years). The jet boat ride is more thrilling, but kids are too scared to go. The so-called "Lord of the Rings town" is just ordinary scenery for kids who haven’t seen the movies. 🦌 Queenstown Deer Park: Requires booking well in advance, limited to 80 cars per day. You can’t get out of the car inside, animals are far away, and kids get bored quickly. Not cost-effective. 🪂 Other extreme activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, giant swing... just watch from afar, none are suitable for young kids. What else can you do with kids in Queenstown? (Our exploration) Free Lakeside Playground: The playground by Queenstown Beach is great, facing the lake and mountains, kids can play for hours. Fruit Town Cromwell: A short drive from Queenstown, with various fruit shops and ice cream stores. In summer, you can pick cherries, which kids love. Arrowtown: Quieter than Queenstown, with golden autumn leaves, a short main street perfect for a casual stroll with kids and grabbing a pie. Indoor Playground: If it rains or is too cold, visit Lollipop’s Playland in town to let the kids burn off some energy. Core Tips for Family Trips in Queenstown: Be clear about your goals: If adults want to do extreme sports, don’t bring very young kids or arrange to take turns watching them. Stay lakeside: Choose accommodation within walking distance of Lake Wakatipu to save travel time and easily take kids to throw stones by the lake. Downgrade food plans: The famous Fergburger lines are crazy long and not worth the hassle with kids. Buy groceries at the supermarket to cook at your place or find quiet cafes. Drive safely: Bring a child safety seat that meets New Zealand standards. Queenstown is an adventurer’s paradise, not a playground for toddlers. Its beauty requires a certain age and courage to appreciate. If your kids are still young, treat this place as a "scenic rest stop" rather than a "busy activity destination."

Outfit advice: Solid color long dress + straw hat to match architectural lines, kids wear overalls for lively playground shots 3. Hidden spots: Overhead shots from the lobby spiral staircase, starry sky ceiling in the karst hot spring, rainbow glass window on the cliff elevator 💡 Insider tips • Transportation: Take high-speed train to Lishui Station, then 40-minute taxi ride (remember to book and get reimbursed by the hotel) • Must-bring: Non-slip slippers (some stone paths are slippery), binoculars (for stargazing), enough memory cards • Hidden perks: Stay two nights and get a free hot spring voucher, free birthday room upgrade decoration Standing on the glass plank road on the cliff, I suddenly understood why some say this place is like a "secret garden forgotten by immortals."

Next time, I’ll bring my parents too, to sip She ethnic red tea in the sea of clouds~

Walking into Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity at the Flower Dome felt like stepping into a carefully curated Chinese New Year landscape.

The surrounding display features over 10,000 plants, arranged in the style of classical Jiangnan gardens, complete with moon gates, pavilions, cascading water features and limestone rockery.

Heaven on Earth Couldn’t Be More Perfect! Semporna Healing Travel Guide🌊 Who understands! The sea in Semporna is like the sky crushed and poured into the ocean, so clear you can see tropical fish darting through coral reefs. Every snap is a stunning, unfiltered masterpiece—this is the true island utopia! We've compiled a super practical guide to help you avoid pitfalls and enjoy this earthly paradise with ease👇 ✈️ Travel Essentials & Transportation Tips • Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, super convenient, but your passport must be valid for more than 6 months—don’t forget this! • Many small shops in Semporna only accept cash, so exchange your Malaysian Ringgit in advance for peace of mind; local ATMs support UnionPay withdrawals with a small fee. • The best choice for SIM cards is Celcom, with wide coverage and stable signals even out at sea. Many small tour groups even offer free SIM cards—great value! • Flights to Tawau via Kota Kinabalu are better! It takes just over 40 minutes to get there, and prices are half of those with Kuala Lumpur transfers. Save money and enjoy two extra seafood meals~ 🏨 Accommodation Tips & Island Recommendations • Don’t be tempted by cheap water chalets! Those costing just a few hundred ringgit have poor conditions and few entertainment options, wasting Semporna’s beautiful scenery. • Highly recommend Mabul Island Resort! It’s the only accommodation on the entire island, with no entry for non-guests, ensuring maximum privacy. The island’s trailing sandy beach is stunning—at low tide, you can stroll on fine sand. Be sure to book in advance! • Most resorts charge all-inclusive per person; solo travelers need to pay a room supplement. It’s better to travel with friends for higher cost-effectiveness. 🗺️ Classic 6-7 Day Itinerary (Kuala Lumpur + Semporna) 1. Kuala Lumpur 1 day: Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square to experience the blend of urban and cultural vibes; 2. Malacca 1 day: Explore the Dutch Red House and Jonker Street, and enjoy an authentic bowl of Nyonya cuisine on this historic street; 3. Semporna 3-4 days: Go snorkeling to explore the underwater world, relax at the resort watching the sea, and enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle; 4. If you have extra time, add Kota Kinabalu: Chase the stunning pink-purple sunsets, try sunset paddleboarding, venture into tropical rainforests to see fireflies—an unforgettable experience! 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Tips • Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can hike. The sea view from the summit is breathtaking, but be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes as the trails are not easy. • Semporna has very strong UV rays; high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential, or you’ll get sunburned and peeling in no time! If you also yearn for a healing trip of blue seas, skies, and coconut groves, Semporna is definitely worth the trip! Here, even the sea breeze carries the scent of freedom—you won’t want to leave once you arrive💙

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here, until I brought my kids to this silver world covered in white snow and discovered that the winter scenery is even more stunning! Perfect for family trips around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong, plan a weekend two-day tour to let your kids experience the romance of ice and snow～ . Here’s my two-day, one-night family travel itinerary: Day❶: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge ➠ Stay at the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area Day❷: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ (Families with more time can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong for a more relaxed pace) . ❄️ Guangwu Mountain family travel route and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Swallow Ridge loop trail. The sunrise sea of clouds combined with snow scenery looks like a fairyland! Kids find the cable car ride super exciting, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking, with kids exclaiming all the way. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain A must-visit for snow viewing! Hop on the scenic area shuttle bus and quickly enter a world of white snow. The rime frost hanging on branches looks like crystal curtains ❄️, with a new view at every step. Walking on the plank road with kids, stepping on snow and hearing the “crunch” sound is so much fun. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can’t imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds would be on a sunny day! After the visit, head straight to Daba Ski Resort to unlock various snow activities with your kids. . 📸 Family photo tips: 1️⃣ Dress your kids in bright colors! Red/pink/blue look amazing against the snow, making family photos super beautiful. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden cabins) to highlight the snow scenery. Have kids do cute actions like building snow or throwing snow for instant great shots. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles/snow-covered leaves 🍂/close-ups of kids’ footprints to record the little joys of family travel. 4️⃣ It’s best to visit on a sunny day; the rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow scenery are truly breathtaking! 5️⃣ There are few food options in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and warm water to avoid hunger. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without long travel, making it super convenient with kids. . ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must when traveling with kids. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly～

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower. In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts, too, and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits. Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set. Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms. Location wise, very near to the causeway. #johorbahruhotels #travel #staycation #johor

Under the damp and chilly magic of Jiangnan, the best way to fight back is to find a real hot spring and soak yourself in warmth. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring is undoubtedly a top choice. It boasts tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest and represents authentic natural scenery and genuine hot springs. In winter, soaking in the calcium bicarbonate spring while admiring the sparse snowy bamboo forest around is the most luxurious relaxation for the whole family. 💧Why is it called "Yushui Hot Spring"? Core advantages explained • Authentic water quality: Sourced from beneath the surface, it is an officially certified natural hot spring, rich in various minerals, leaving skin smooth after soaking, unlike ordinary hot water. • Excellent environment: The hot spring pools are built along the mountain, staggered and embedded within the bamboo sea, offering great privacy. The pools blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, unlike crowded indoor pools. • Variety of pools: There are dozens of special pools, such as infused pools (with flower petals, Chinese herbs), dynamic pools, couples pools, and a children’s play pool designed for families (with lower water temperature, suitable for kids to play). 👨‍👩‍👧Complete guide for families soaking with kids • Recommended order: First, let the kids get used to the children’s play pool or the ordinary pool with lower temperature and play for a while. Then try other special pools, soaking no more than 15 minutes each time. • Safety and hygiene: Always supervise children to prevent slipping or choking. Require kids to wash before soaking and drink plenty of water during. • Warmth details: When getting out of the pool, quickly wrap the child in a large towel and head to the nearest warm corridor or rest area. The resort provides bathrobes, but bringing thicker towels or children’s robes is warmer. • Fun activities: Play a “pool hunt game” with the kids, using a map to find the most unique pools (like the “Bamboo Tip Hot Spring” on the bamboo tips), adding to the exploration fun. 🗓️Relaxed two-day one-night itinerary framework • Day 1: Arrival and immersion Afternoon: Drive or take transport to Tianmu Lake Resort Area and check into the hotel. Evening: Head to Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring to enjoy the tranquility of night soaking (the bamboo forest lit up at night is uniquely charming). After soaking, enjoy clay pot fish head soup in the resort. • Day 2: Leisurely return or combined sightseeing Option A (pure relaxation): Sleep in naturally, stroll around the hotel or nearby, then return in the afternoon. Option B (with sightseeing): After checkout in the morning, visit nearby Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea (see follow-up guide) or Tianmu Lake Landscape Park, then return in the afternoon. 🍲Food philosophy before and after soaking • Before soaking: Avoid overeating or fasting; eat a small amount of easily digestible food. • After soaking: The body consumes a lot of energy and needs replenishment. Tianmu Lake’s signature clay pot fish head (bighead carp) is a must-order, with milky white broth and incredible freshness. Pair it with local Liyang farmhouse dishes like stuffed liver, white celery, and black rice for a fully satisfying meal. 🏡Stay by the hot spring to extend the warmth There are many accommodations around the hot spring, from high-end to unique: Liyang Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort Hotel: Seamlessly connected to the hot spring, some rooms have private hot spring baths, allowing you to soak downstairs— the most convenient and luxurious choice. Liyang Zhuxi Valley Hotel: A wild luxury hotel hidden in the bamboo valley, each villa has a private infinity pool and hot spring bath, offering top privacy, design, and harmony with nature. Liyang Tianmu Lake Hotel: A long-established five-star hotel with the best lake views of Tianmu Lake, standardized service, ideal for families obsessed with lake views. At Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring, time is meant to be wasted. When the warm spring water flows over your shoulders, watching the snow on the bamboo tips or the cold stars in the night sky, all fatigue and worries evaporate. This is a healing journey to recharge and renew energy for the whole family.

Not sponsored. Just sharing a great find 💡 This trip was seriously one of the best value-for-money getaways I’ve had! We spent only RMB 1,800 per person (about SGD 340) for 4 days and 3 nights — including food, accommodation, entertainment, and activities. 🤯 No extra charges for shows, games, or kid-friendly activities. Everything was included! Let’s be honest — in Singapore, even a casual meal can cost RMB 400+. But here? It was eat, sleep, play, repeat — all on a luxury ship. I may not be good at everything, but I’m definitely top-tier at finding travel steals 😎 (Remember when I spent just RMB 6,000 for an 8-day Europe cruise with my kid? Yup, nailed it again!) ❤️ If you’re interested, I’ll keep sharing great cruise deals when I spot them — totally free, just trying to help others save and travel smart! ✨ Trip Recap: 💰 Price: ~RMB 1,800 per person (3 pax room – 2 adults + 1 child, incl. taxes) 🏠 Room Type: Interior cabin (amazing value — will explain more in a later post!) 🚢 Ship: Genting Dream 🗺️ Route: Singapore → Penang → Melaka → Singapore (4D3N) #cruiselife #gentingdream #budgetcruise #familyvacation #travelwithkids #cruisetips #singaporetravel #cruisedeals #nosponsorshipjustsharing #smarttravel #seaescape

Wangxian Valley 2 days 1 night guide: The true Xianxia world! NPC interactions are so addictive After rewatching "Cang Lan Jue," I was crazy about the same Xianxia scenes and decisively dragged my bestie to Wangxian Valley for the weekend. Before departure, I saw many polarized reviews, but after experiencing it myself, I want to say: this is literally the real-life "Yunmengze"! Especially the NPC interactions, so fun I want to replay it many times. Here’s a detailed guide for you to save~ 🚄 Transportation Guide: Direct and non-detouring - High-speed rail: Nanjing → Shangrao Station, then take a direct shuttle bus to Wangxian Valley (30 RMB/person), 1.5 hours straight to the scenic entrance, super convenient. - Self-driving: Navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center," plenty of parking, suitable for families or groups. 🏠 Accommodation options? Two experiences for you to choose from - Cost-effective choice: Homestays near the scenic area, affordable (about 200-400 RMB/night), 10-minute walk to the entrance, perfect for budget travelers. - Immersive first choice: Cliffside homestays inside the scenic area! Open the window to a full canyon view, in the early morning mist it feels like living in a cloud palace. The downside is they are hard to book and pricier (about 800-1500 RMB/night), but the experience is top-notch. 🌈 2 days 1 night itinerary: Beautiful from day to night 𝑫𝒂𝒚 1: Daytime exploring & eating + NPC interactions, evening chasing night views - Noon: Enter the scenic area early! Watch the Xianxia town transform from daylight to dazzling lights, full of ceremony. First, go to Baiwei Street for a bite, Shangrao chicken leg and Dengzhan rice cakes are must-tries, the fragrant fried tofu is refreshing and cuts the greasiness. - Afternoon: Immersive NPC interactions (key! Don’t miss) - "Jin’s Bank": NPCs are super lively, play the size comparison game to win silver tickets. My bestie and I “cooperated” to win a bunch and exchanged them for small gifts, very rewarding. - "Yang Mansion Tales": Mysterious stories in the ancient house, so tense I covered my mouth the whole time, the immersion is amazing. - "Han Wedding": The Chinese wedding performance is super sweet, wearing the phoenix crown and embroidered robe instantly made me understand what “Chinese romantic peak” means. - "Jar Shadow Acrobatics": The acrobats’ high-altitude flips made people scream, recommend getting front row seats 10 minutes early. - Evening to night: Stroll along the check-in route, watch the lights turn on one by one. The waterfall with lighting at Yanpu Square is super stunning, and the lantern strings at the old walled building feel like stepping into a drama scene. 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2: Early morning fairy mist + free roaming - Morning: Wake up naturally and enter the valley again (if staying inside the scenic area, just open the window to see the view). Wangxian Valley in autumn looks like an impressionist painting, morning mist swirling around the cliffside homes, every photo looks like it has a “fairy filter.” - Noon: Leisurely stroll through Workshop Street, watch artisans making wooden movable type and silverware, buy a small souvenir. 📸 Classic photo spots: Avoid crowds for great shots 1. Lanyue Bridge: Best during the “blue hour” 30 minutes after sunset, lights just on, sky still blue, bridge and cliffside homes in one frame, atmosphere maxed out. 2. Baige Bridge: Can capture Baihe Cliff, Lanyue Bridge, and the ancient village all at once, recommend shooting in the morning with good light for clearer pictures. 3. Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlooking all the lights in the valley, especially after night lighting, like a god’s view of “Yunmengze” with thousands of lights, breathtakingly spectacular. 💡 Practical tips - Shoes: Many steps in the scenic area, definitely wear non-slip comfortable shoes, don’t wear heels just for photos (learned the hard way). - Clothing: Big temperature difference between morning and night in autumn, recommend thin layers underneath (easy for photos) + long coat (for mornings and evenings). Wearing traditional costumes makes photos better; rentals available in the scenic area (about 100 RMB/day). - Map: Get a hand-drawn map at the visitor center, follow the route “Waterfall Cluster → Baiwei Street → Yang Mansion Square → Glass Walkway → Chahe Tower” to avoid detours and hit all highlights. - Off-peak: Weekends are crowded, arrive 15 minutes early for performances; weekdays offer a better experience with more relaxed NPC interactions. The magic of Wangxian Valley is that it’s not just a “photo spot,” but a place where you truly immerse yourself in the Xianxia world—joking with NPCs like neighbors, feeling like you’ve stepped into a script when the lights come on. This kind of joy, only those who come will understand!

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Jiudao Gate: Nine stilted buildings connected together, staggered and embedded on the hillside. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

We went to Queenstown with the kids because of its reputation as the "Garden of the World," but it turns out this garden is for adults to enjoy. For kids, it's full of "not suitable for children" extreme challenges! Planning a family trip? Read my painful experience first! A rundown of those "not kid-friendly" must-try activities: 🚡 Skyline Gondola: The gondola itself is fine. But the luge on top is strictly for kids 6 years and older and taller than 110cm, and helmets are mandatory. My 5-year-old watched longingly but couldn’t play, which led to a meltdown. It’s windy up there, and the viewing platform has gaps in the railing, so you have to keep a close eye on the kids. 🚢 TSS Steamboat + Farm: The boat is an old classic and quite interesting. But the farm activities have fixed times and last nearly 4 hours, which is torture for little ones who don’t nap regularly. The sheep-shearing show is indoors and dimly lit, which can scare some kids. 🐎 Glenorchy Horse Riding / Lord of the Rings Tour: Horse riding has strict age and weight limits (usually 8+ years). The jet boat ride is more thrilling, but kids are too scared to go. The so-called "Lord of the Rings town" is just ordinary scenery for kids who haven’t seen the movies. 🦌 Queenstown Deer Park: Requires booking well in advance, limited to 80 cars per day. You can’t get out of the car inside, animals are far away, and kids get bored quickly. Not cost-effective. 🪂 Other extreme activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, giant swing... just watch from afar, none are suitable for young kids. What else can you do with kids in Queenstown? (Our exploration) Free Lakeside Playground: The playground by Queenstown Beach is great, facing the lake and mountains, kids can play for hours. Fruit Town Cromwell: A short drive from Queenstown, with various fruit shops and ice cream stores. In summer, you can pick cherries, which kids love. Arrowtown: Quieter than Queenstown, with golden autumn leaves, a short main street perfect for a casual stroll with kids and grabbing a pie. Indoor Playground: If it rains or is too cold, visit Lollipop’s Playland in town to let the kids burn off some energy. Core Tips for Family Trips in Queenstown: Be clear about your goals: If adults want to do extreme sports, don’t bring very young kids or arrange to take turns watching them. Stay lakeside: Choose accommodation within walking distance of Lake Wakatipu to save travel time and easily take kids to throw stones by the lake. Downgrade food plans: The famous Fergburger lines are crazy long and not worth the hassle with kids. Buy groceries at the supermarket to cook at your place or find quiet cafes. Drive safely: Bring a child safety seat that meets New Zealand standards. Queenstown is an adventurer’s paradise, not a playground for toddlers. Its beauty requires a certain age and courage to appreciate. If your kids are still young, treat this place as a "scenic rest stop" rather than a "busy activity destination."

～～～ Just got back from Malacca. Before the trip, I checked hotel reviews and came across the hotel where Fan Ye stayed in Malacca. I was instantly captivated by the resort’s Nanyang style! After staying three days, even my friends kept saying at checkout: Next time we come to Malacca, we have to stay here‼️ Here, on one side is the tranquility of a tropical oasis, and on the other is the rich Peranakan culture. You can enjoy Nanyang-style cuisine, and the outlet mall is just nearby—truly a “one-stop vacation” 🌴 🏨 PARKROYAL A’Famosa Melaka Resort ⛱️ Environment & Location The hotel is hidden in Malacca’s natural oasis.

The entire place features solid wood furniture and distinctive tiles, with every wall telling the story of Malacca’s heritage. The 213 rooms and suites are scattered throughout the garden. The public areas, including the pool and restaurants, exude a laid-back Nanyang feel, especially the poolside bar and pool area—every photo you take screams vacation mode.

Experiencing the entire autumn scenery alone is really amazing. Here’s a fall day trip guide for Shaoxing Keqiao 😭 remember to save it first. . 🍃｜Shaoxing Keyan Scenic Area 📍｜No. 558 Keyan Avenue, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City 🚗｜1 hour drive from Hangzhou or take the high-speed train to Shaoxing North Station and then a 20-minute taxi ride ✔️：Experience the black-awning boat, visit the Tiangong Buddha, walk the ancient fiber path . ▪️The Keyan Scenic Area consists of three parts ▪️They are Keyan, Luzhen, and Jianhu ▪️It’s recommended to buy a combo ticket to visit all of them ▪️It’s best to visit the Buddha after 4 PM when there are no crowds, so you can take photos freely . ⭐️【Recommended itinerary】 Visitor Center ➠ Luzhen ➠ Luzhen Theater ➠ Luzhen Grand Theater Pier (take the painted boat) ➠ Painted Boat Pier ➠ Jianhu Ancient Fiber Path ➠ Jingshui Bay ➠ Qixing Rock ➠ Tiangong Buddha ➠ Puzhao Temple ➠ Return . 1️⃣ Keyan A historic quarry dating back to the Three Kingdoms period.

Walking into Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity at the Flower Dome felt like stepping into a carefully curated Chinese New Year landscape. This year's exhibit centres on eight life-sized illuminated horse lanterns, handcrafted by artisans from Zigong, Sichuan, using traditional lantern-making techniques with roots tracing back to the Tang Dynasty. Inspired by Ba Jun Tu (八骏图), the horses symbolise strength, perseverance, momentum and success for the Year of the Horse. The surrounding display features over 10,000 plants, arranged in the style of classical Jiangnan gardens, complete with moon gates, pavilions, cascading water features and limestone rockery. Floral highlights include plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo - the “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese art - alongside seasonal blooms such as azaleas and dahlias. Housed within the climate-controlled Flower Dome, the exhibit combines horticultural expertise with cultural symbolism, offering a calm and immersive way to mark the Chinese New Year season. 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026 #thehedegehogtravels #thehedgehogknows #chinesenewyear2026 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026

Heaven on Earth Couldn’t Be More Perfect! Semporna Healing Travel Guide🌊 Who understands! The sea in Semporna is like the sky crushed and poured into the ocean, so clear you can see tropical fish darting through coral reefs. Every snap is a stunning, unfiltered masterpiece—this is the true island utopia! We've compiled a super practical guide to help you avoid pitfalls and enjoy this earthly paradise with ease👇 ✈️ Travel Essentials & Transportation Tips • Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, super convenient, but your passport must be valid for more than 6 months—don’t forget this! • Many small shops in Semporna only accept cash, so exchange your Malaysian Ringgit in advance for peace of mind; local ATMs support UnionPay withdrawals with a small fee. • The best choice for SIM cards is Celcom, with wide coverage and stable signals even out at sea. Many small tour groups even offer free SIM cards—great value! • Flights to Tawau via Kota Kinabalu are better! It takes just over 40 minutes to get there, and prices are half of those with Kuala Lumpur transfers. Save money and enjoy two extra seafood meals~ 🏨 Accommodation Tips & Island Recommendations • Don’t be tempted by cheap water chalets! Those costing just a few hundred ringgit have poor conditions and few entertainment options, wasting Semporna’s beautiful scenery. • Highly recommend Mabul Island Resort! It’s the only accommodation on the entire island, with no entry for non-guests, ensuring maximum privacy. The island’s trailing sandy beach is stunning—at low tide, you can stroll on fine sand. Be sure to book in advance! • Most resorts charge all-inclusive per person; solo travelers need to pay a room supplement. It’s better to travel with friends for higher cost-effectiveness. 🗺️ Classic 6-7 Day Itinerary (Kuala Lumpur + Semporna) 1. Kuala Lumpur 1 day: Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square to experience the blend of urban and cultural vibes; 2. Malacca 1 day: Explore the Dutch Red House and Jonker Street, and enjoy an authentic bowl of Nyonya cuisine on this historic street; 3. Semporna 3-4 days: Go snorkeling to explore the underwater world, relax at the resort watching the sea, and enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle; 4. If you have extra time, add Kota Kinabalu: Chase the stunning pink-purple sunsets, try sunset paddleboarding, venture into tropical rainforests to see fireflies—an unforgettable experience! 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Tips • Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can hike. The sea view from the summit is breathtaking, but be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes as the trails are not easy. • Semporna has very strong UV rays; high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential, or you’ll get sunburned and peeling in no time! If you also yearn for a healing trip of blue seas, skies, and coconut groves, Semporna is definitely worth the trip! Here, even the sea breeze carries the scent of freedom—you won’t want to leave once you arrive💙

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower. In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts, too, and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits. Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set. Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms. Location wise, very near to the causeway. #johorbahruhotels #travel #staycation #johor

Under the damp and chilly magic of Jiangnan, the best way to fight back is to find a real hot spring and soak yourself in warmth. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring is undoubtedly a top choice. It boasts tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest and represents authentic natural scenery and genuine hot springs. In winter, soaking in the calcium bicarbonate spring while admiring the sparse snowy bamboo forest around is the most luxurious relaxation for the whole family. 💧Why is it called "Yushui Hot Spring"? Core advantages explained • Authentic water quality: Sourced from beneath the surface, it is an officially certified natural hot spring, rich in various minerals, leaving skin smooth after soaking, unlike ordinary hot water. • Excellent environment: The hot spring pools are built along the mountain, staggered and embedded within the bamboo sea, offering great privacy. The pools blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, unlike crowded indoor pools. • Variety of pools: There are dozens of special pools, such as infused pools (with flower petals, Chinese herbs), dynamic pools, couples pools, and a children’s play pool designed for families (with lower water temperature, suitable for kids to play). 👨‍👩‍👧Complete guide for families soaking with kids • Recommended order: First, let the kids get used to the children’s play pool or the ordinary pool with lower temperature and play for a while. Then try other special pools, soaking no more than 15 minutes each time. • Safety and hygiene: Always supervise children to prevent slipping or choking. Require kids to wash before soaking and drink plenty of water during. • Warmth details: When getting out of the pool, quickly wrap the child in a large towel and head to the nearest warm corridor or rest area. The resort provides bathrobes, but bringing thicker towels or children’s robes is warmer. • Fun activities: Play a “pool hunt game” with the kids, using a map to find the most unique pools (like the “Bamboo Tip Hot Spring” on the bamboo tips), adding to the exploration fun. 🗓️Relaxed two-day one-night itinerary framework • Day 1: Arrival and immersion Afternoon: Drive or take transport to Tianmu Lake Resort Area and check into the hotel. Evening: Head to Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring to enjoy the tranquility of night soaking (the bamboo forest lit up at night is uniquely charming). After soaking, enjoy clay pot fish head soup in the resort. • Day 2: Leisurely return or combined sightseeing Option A (pure relaxation): Sleep in naturally, stroll around the hotel or nearby, then return in the afternoon. Option B (with sightseeing): After checkout in the morning, visit nearby Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea (see follow-up guide) or Tianmu Lake Landscape Park, then return in the afternoon. 🍲Food philosophy before and after soaking • Before soaking: Avoid overeating or fasting; eat a small amount of easily digestible food. • After soaking: The body consumes a lot of energy and needs replenishment. Tianmu Lake’s signature clay pot fish head (bighead carp) is a must-order, with milky white broth and incredible freshness. Pair it with local Liyang farmhouse dishes like stuffed liver, white celery, and black rice for a fully satisfying meal. 🏡Stay by the hot spring to extend the warmth There are many accommodations around the hot spring, from high-end to unique: Liyang Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort Hotel: Seamlessly connected to the hot spring, some rooms have private hot spring baths, allowing you to soak downstairs— the most convenient and luxurious choice. Liyang Zhuxi Valley Hotel: A wild luxury hotel hidden in the bamboo valley, each villa has a private infinity pool and hot spring bath, offering top privacy, design, and harmony with nature. Liyang Tianmu Lake Hotel: A long-established five-star hotel with the best lake views of Tianmu Lake, standardized service, ideal for families obsessed with lake views. At Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring, time is meant to be wasted. When the warm spring water flows over your shoulders, watching the snow on the bamboo tips or the cold stars in the night sky, all fatigue and worries evaporate. This is a healing journey to recharge and renew energy for the whole family.

Not sponsored. Just sharing a great find 💡 This trip was seriously one of the best value-for-money getaways I’ve had! We spent only RMB 1,800 per person (about SGD 340) for 4 days and 3 nights — including food, accommodation, entertainment, and activities. 🤯 No extra charges for shows, games, or kid-friendly activities.

I may not be good at everything, but I’m definitely top-tier at finding travel steals 😎 (Remember when I spent just RMB 6,000 for an 8-day Europe cruise with my kid? Yup, nailed it again!) ❤️ If you’re interested, I’ll keep sharing great cruise deals when I spot them — totally free, just trying to help others save and travel smart! ✨ Trip Recap: 💰 Price: ~RMB 1,800 per person (3 pax room – 2 adults + 1 child, incl. taxes) 🏠 Room Type: Interior cabin (amazing value — will explain more in a later post!) 🚢 Ship: Genting Dream 🗺️ Route: Singapore → Penang → Melaka → Singapore (4D3N) #cruiselife #gentingdream #budgetcruise #familyvacation #travelwithkids #cruisetips #singaporetravel #cruisedeals #nosponsorshipjustsharing #smarttravel #seaescape

Wangxian Valley 2 days 1 night guide: The true Xianxia world! NPC interactions are so addictive After rewatching "Cang Lan Jue," I was crazy about the same Xianxia scenes and decisively dragged my bestie to Wangxian Valley for the weekend. Before departure, I saw many polarized reviews, but after experiencing it myself, I want to say: this is literally the real-life "Yunmengze"! Especially the NPC interactions, so fun I want to replay it many times. Here’s a detailed guide for you to save~ 🚄 Transportation Guide: Direct and non-detouring - High-speed rail: Nanjing → Shangrao Station, then take a direct shuttle bus to Wangxian Valley (30 RMB/person), 1.5 hours straight to the scenic entrance, super convenient. - Self-driving: Navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center," plenty of parking, suitable for families or groups. 🏠 Accommodation options? Two experiences for you to choose from - Cost-effective choice: Homestays near the scenic area, affordable (about 200-400 RMB/night), 10-minute walk to the entrance, perfect for budget travelers. - Immersive first choice: Cliffside homestays inside the scenic area! Open the window to a full canyon view, in the early morning mist it feels like living in a cloud palace. The downside is they are hard to book and pricier (about 800-1500 RMB/night), but the experience is top-notch. 🌈 2 days 1 night itinerary: Beautiful from day to night 𝑫𝒂𝒚 1: Daytime exploring & eating + NPC interactions, evening chasing night views - Noon: Enter the scenic area early! Watch the Xianxia town transform from daylight to dazzling lights, full of ceremony. First, go to Baiwei Street for a bite, Shangrao chicken leg and Dengzhan rice cakes are must-tries, the fragrant fried tofu is refreshing and cuts the greasiness. - Afternoon: Immersive NPC interactions (key! Don’t miss) - "Jin’s Bank": NPCs are super lively, play the size comparison game to win silver tickets. My bestie and I “cooperated” to win a bunch and exchanged them for small gifts, very rewarding. - "Yang Mansion Tales": Mysterious stories in the ancient house, so tense I covered my mouth the whole time, the immersion is amazing. - "Han Wedding": The Chinese wedding performance is super sweet, wearing the phoenix crown and embroidered robe instantly made me understand what “Chinese romantic peak” means. - "Jar Shadow Acrobatics": The acrobats’ high-altitude flips made people scream, recommend getting front row seats 10 minutes early. - Evening to night: Stroll along the check-in route, watch the lights turn on one by one. The waterfall with lighting at Yanpu Square is super stunning, and the lantern strings at the old walled building feel like stepping into a drama scene. 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2: Early morning fairy mist + free roaming - Morning: Wake up naturally and enter the valley again (if staying inside the scenic area, just open the window to see the view). Wangxian Valley in autumn looks like an impressionist painting, morning mist swirling around the cliffside homes, every photo looks like it has a “fairy filter.” - Noon: Leisurely stroll through Workshop Street, watch artisans making wooden movable type and silverware, buy a small souvenir. 📸 Classic photo spots: Avoid crowds for great shots 1. Lanyue Bridge: Best during the “blue hour” 30 minutes after sunset, lights just on, sky still blue, bridge and cliffside homes in one frame, atmosphere maxed out. 2. Baige Bridge: Can capture Baihe Cliff, Lanyue Bridge, and the ancient village all at once, recommend shooting in the morning with good light for clearer pictures. 3. Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlooking all the lights in the valley, especially after night lighting, like a god’s view of “Yunmengze” with thousands of lights, breathtakingly spectacular. 💡 Practical tips - Shoes: Many steps in the scenic area, definitely wear non-slip comfortable shoes, don’t wear heels just for photos (learned the hard way). - Clothing: Big temperature difference between morning and night in autumn, recommend thin layers underneath (easy for photos) + long coat (for mornings and evenings). Wearing traditional costumes makes photos better; rentals available in the scenic area (about 100 RMB/day). - Map: Get a hand-drawn map at the visitor center, follow the route “Waterfall Cluster → Baiwei Street → Yang Mansion Square → Glass Walkway → Chahe Tower” to avoid detours and hit all highlights. - Off-peak: Weekends are crowded, arrive 15 minutes early for performances; weekdays offer a better experience with more relaxed NPC interactions. The magic of Wangxian Valley is that it’s not just a “photo spot,” but a place where you truly immerse yourself in the Xianxia world—joking with NPCs like neighbors, feeling like you’ve stepped into a script when the lights come on. This kind of joy, only those who come will understand!

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Jiudao Gate: Nine stilted buildings connected together, staggered and embedded on the hillside. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

We went to Queenstown with the kids because of its reputation as the "Garden of the World," but it turns out this garden is for adults to enjoy. For kids, it's full of "not suitable for children" extreme challenges! Planning a family trip? Read my painful experience first! A rundown of those "not kid-friendly" must-try activities: 🚡 Skyline Gondola: The gondola itself is fine. But the luge on top is strictly for kids 6 years and older and taller than 110cm, and helmets are mandatory. My 5-year-old watched longingly but couldn’t play, which led to a meltdown. It’s windy up there, and the viewing platform has gaps in the railing, so you have to keep a close eye on the kids. 🚢 TSS Steamboat + Farm: The boat is an old classic and quite interesting. But the farm activities have fixed times and last nearly 4 hours, which is torture for little ones who don’t nap regularly. The sheep-shearing show is indoors and dimly lit, which can scare some kids. 🐎 Glenorchy Horse Riding / Lord of the Rings Tour: Horse riding has strict age and weight limits (usually 8+ years). The jet boat ride is more thrilling, but kids are too scared to go. The so-called "Lord of the Rings town" is just ordinary scenery for kids who haven’t seen the movies. 🦌 Queenstown Deer Park: Requires booking well in advance, limited to 80 cars per day. You can’t get out of the car inside, animals are far away, and kids get bored quickly. Not cost-effective. 🪂 Other extreme activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, giant swing... just watch from afar, none are suitable for young kids. What else can you do with kids in Queenstown? (Our exploration) Free Lakeside Playground: The playground by Queenstown Beach is great, facing the lake and mountains, kids can play for hours. Fruit Town Cromwell: A short drive from Queenstown, with various fruit shops and ice cream stores. In summer, you can pick cherries, which kids love. Arrowtown: Quieter than Queenstown, with golden autumn leaves, a short main street perfect for a casual stroll with kids and grabbing a pie. Indoor Playground: If it rains or is too cold, visit Lollipop’s Playland in town to let the kids burn off some energy. Core Tips for Family Trips in Queenstown: Be clear about your goals: If adults want to do extreme sports, don’t bring very young kids or arrange to take turns watching them. Stay lakeside: Choose accommodation within walking distance of Lake Wakatipu to save travel time and easily take kids to throw stones by the lake. Downgrade food plans: The famous Fergburger lines are crazy long and not worth the hassle with kids. Buy groceries at the supermarket to cook at your place or find quiet cafes. Drive safely: Bring a child safety seat that meets New Zealand standards. Queenstown is an adventurer’s paradise, not a playground for toddlers. Its beauty requires a certain age and courage to appreciate. If your kids are still young, treat this place as a "scenic rest stop" rather than a "busy activity destination."

Outfit advice: Solid color long dress + straw hat to match architectural lines, kids wear overalls for lively playground shots 3. Hidden spots: Overhead shots from the lobby spiral staircase, starry sky ceiling in the karst hot spring, rainbow glass window on the cliff elevator 💡 Insider tips • Transportation: Take high-speed train to Lishui Station, then 40-minute taxi ride (remember to book and get reimbursed by the hotel) • Must-bring: Non-slip slippers (some stone paths are slippery), binoculars (for stargazing), enough memory cards • Hidden perks: Stay two nights and get a free hot spring voucher, free birthday room upgrade decoration Standing on the glass plank road on the cliff, I suddenly understood why some say this place is like a "secret garden forgotten by immortals." Watching my kid roll with laughter in the dinosaur sandpit, my husband posing for the eightieth photo at the infinity pool—this is the perfect vacation I wanted. Next time, I’ll bring my parents too, to sip She ethnic red tea in the sea of clouds~

～～～ Just got back from Malacca. Before the trip, I checked hotel reviews and came across the hotel where Fan Ye stayed in Malacca. I was instantly captivated by the resort’s Nanyang style! After staying three days, even my friends kept saying at checkout: Next time we come to Malacca, we have to stay here‼️ Here, on one side is the tranquility of a tropical oasis, and on the other is the rich Peranakan culture. You can enjoy Nanyang-style cuisine, and the outlet mall is just nearby—truly a “one-stop vacation” 🌴 🏨 PARKROYAL A’Famosa Melaka Resort ⛱️ Environment & Location The hotel is hidden in Malacca’s natural oasis.

Woken up by tropical birdsong in the morning, open the balcony door to a lush garden, and the golf course’s greenery is in full view nearby—vacation vibes maxed out 🌿 🏡 Exterior & Architecture As soon as you enter, you’re immersed in Baba-Nyonya style! The entire place features solid wood furniture and distinctive tiles, with every wall telling the story of Malacca’s heritage. The 213 rooms and suites are scattered throughout the garden. The public areas, including the pool and restaurants, exude a laid-back Nanyang feel, especially the poolside bar and pool area—every photo you take screams vacation mode. No wonder even Fan Ye chose to stay here when visiting Malacca 🧚‍♀️ 🛏️ Rooms & Facilities This time I stayed in the brand-new Junior Suite, which is very spacious. Modern decor mixed with Peranakan elements, with great attention to detail! You can also enjoy executive lounge privileges.

If you crave Chinese food while abroad, this is a great choice. 🌳 Nearby Attractions: ▪️ Freeport A’Famosa Outlet Mall (15-minute walk) ▪️ A’Famosa Wildlife Park (8-minute drive) ▪️ A’Famosa Water Theme Park (10-minute drive) ❤️❤️❤️ A resort hotel that combines “celebrity style, cultural heritage, and comprehensive facilities” like this is truly worth staying at!

Walking into Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity at the Flower Dome felt like stepping into a carefully curated Chinese New Year landscape. This year's exhibit centres on eight life-sized illuminated horse lanterns, handcrafted by artisans from Zigong, Sichuan, using traditional lantern-making techniques with roots tracing back to the Tang Dynasty. Inspired by Ba Jun Tu (八骏图), the horses symbolise strength, perseverance, momentum and success for the Year of the Horse. The surrounding display features over 10,000 plants, arranged in the style of classical Jiangnan gardens, complete with moon gates, pavilions, cascading water features and limestone rockery. Floral highlights include plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo - the “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese art - alongside seasonal blooms such as azaleas and dahlias. Housed within the climate-controlled Flower Dome, the exhibit combines horticultural expertise with cultural symbolism, offering a calm and immersive way to mark the Chinese New Year season. 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026 #thehedegehogtravels #thehedgehogknows #chinesenewyear2026 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026

Heaven on Earth Couldn’t Be More Perfect! Semporna Healing Travel Guide🌊 Who understands! The sea in Semporna is like the sky crushed and poured into the ocean, so clear you can see tropical fish darting through coral reefs. Every snap is a stunning, unfiltered masterpiece—this is the true island utopia! We've compiled a super practical guide to help you avoid pitfalls and enjoy this earthly paradise with ease👇 ✈️ Travel Essentials & Transportation Tips • Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, super convenient, but your passport must be valid for more than 6 months—don’t forget this! • Many small shops in Semporna only accept cash, so exchange your Malaysian Ringgit in advance for peace of mind; local ATMs support UnionPay withdrawals with a small fee. • The best choice for SIM cards is Celcom, with wide coverage and stable signals even out at sea. Many small tour groups even offer free SIM cards—great value! • Flights to Tawau via Kota Kinabalu are better! It takes just over 40 minutes to get there, and prices are half of those with Kuala Lumpur transfers. Save money and enjoy two extra seafood meals~ 🏨 Accommodation Tips & Island Recommendations • Don’t be tempted by cheap water chalets! Those costing just a few hundred ringgit have poor conditions and few entertainment options, wasting Semporna’s beautiful scenery. • Highly recommend Mabul Island Resort! It’s the only accommodation on the entire island, with no entry for non-guests, ensuring maximum privacy. The island’s trailing sandy beach is stunning—at low tide, you can stroll on fine sand. Be sure to book in advance! • Most resorts charge all-inclusive per person; solo travelers need to pay a room supplement. It’s better to travel with friends for higher cost-effectiveness. 🗺️ Classic 6-7 Day Itinerary (Kuala Lumpur + Semporna) 1. Kuala Lumpur 1 day: Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square to experience the blend of urban and cultural vibes; 2. Malacca 1 day: Explore the Dutch Red House and Jonker Street, and enjoy an authentic bowl of Nyonya cuisine on this historic street; 3. Semporna 3-4 days: Go snorkeling to explore the underwater world, relax at the resort watching the sea, and enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle; 4. If you have extra time, add Kota Kinabalu: Chase the stunning pink-purple sunsets, try sunset paddleboarding, venture into tropical rainforests to see fireflies—an unforgettable experience! 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Tips • Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can hike. The sea view from the summit is breathtaking, but be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes as the trails are not easy. • Semporna has very strong UV rays; high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential, or you’ll get sunburned and peeling in no time! If you also yearn for a healing trip of blue seas, skies, and coconut groves, Semporna is definitely worth the trip! Here, even the sea breeze carries the scent of freedom—you won’t want to leave once you arrive💙

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here, until I brought my kids to this silver world covered in white snow and discovered that the winter scenery is even more stunning! Perfect for family trips around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong, plan a weekend two-day tour to let your kids experience the romance of ice and snow～ . Here’s my two-day, one-night family travel itinerary: Day❶: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge ➠ Stay at the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area Day❷: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ (Families with more time can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong for a more relaxed pace) . ❄️ Guangwu Mountain family travel route and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Swallow Ridge loop trail. The sunrise sea of clouds combined with snow scenery looks like a fairyland! Kids find the cable car ride super exciting, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking, with kids exclaiming all the way. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain A must-visit for snow viewing! Hop on the scenic area shuttle bus and quickly enter a world of white snow. The rime frost hanging on branches looks like crystal curtains ❄️, with a new view at every step. Walking on the plank road with kids, stepping on snow and hearing the “crunch” sound is so much fun. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can’t imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds would be on a sunny day! After the visit, head straight to Daba Ski Resort to unlock various snow activities with your kids. . 📸 Family photo tips: 1️⃣ Dress your kids in bright colors! Red/pink/blue look amazing against the snow, making family photos super beautiful. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden cabins) to highlight the snow scenery. Have kids do cute actions like building snow or throwing snow for instant great shots. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles/snow-covered leaves 🍂/close-ups of kids’ footprints to record the little joys of family travel. 4️⃣ It’s best to visit on a sunny day; the rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow scenery are truly breathtaking! 5️⃣ There are few food options in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and warm water to avoid hunger. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without long travel, making it super convenient with kids. . ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must when traveling with kids. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly～

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower. In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts, too, and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits. Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set. Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms. Location wise, very near to the causeway. #johorbahruhotels #travel #staycation #johor

Under the damp and chilly magic of Jiangnan, the best way to fight back is to find a real hot spring and soak yourself in warmth. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring is undoubtedly a top choice. It boasts tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest and represents authentic natural scenery and genuine hot springs. In winter, soaking in the calcium bicarbonate spring while admiring the sparse snowy bamboo forest around is the most luxurious relaxation for the whole family. 💧Why is it called "Yushui Hot Spring"? Core advantages explained • Authentic water quality: Sourced from beneath the surface, it is an officially certified natural hot spring, rich in various minerals, leaving skin smooth after soaking, unlike ordinary hot water. • Excellent environment: The hot spring pools are built along the mountain, staggered and embedded within the bamboo sea, offering great privacy. The pools blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, unlike crowded indoor pools. • Variety of pools: There are dozens of special pools, such as infused pools (with flower petals, Chinese herbs), dynamic pools, couples pools, and a children’s play pool designed for families (with lower water temperature, suitable for kids to play). 👨‍👩‍👧Complete guide for families soaking with kids • Recommended order: First, let the kids get used to the children’s play pool or the ordinary pool with lower temperature and play for a while. Then try other special pools, soaking no more than 15 minutes each time. • Safety and hygiene: Always supervise children to prevent slipping or choking. Require kids to wash before soaking and drink plenty of water during. • Warmth details: When getting out of the pool, quickly wrap the child in a large towel and head to the nearest warm corridor or rest area. The resort provides bathrobes, but bringing thicker towels or children’s robes is warmer. • Fun activities: Play a “pool hunt game” with the kids, using a map to find the most unique pools (like the “Bamboo Tip Hot Spring” on the bamboo tips), adding to the exploration fun. 🗓️Relaxed two-day one-night itinerary framework • Day 1: Arrival and immersion Afternoon: Drive or take transport to Tianmu Lake Resort Area and check into the hotel. Evening: Head to Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring to enjoy the tranquility of night soaking (the bamboo forest lit up at night is uniquely charming). After soaking, enjoy clay pot fish head soup in the resort. • Day 2: Leisurely return or combined sightseeing Option A (pure relaxation): Sleep in naturally, stroll around the hotel or nearby, then return in the afternoon. Option B (with sightseeing): After checkout in the morning, visit nearby Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea (see follow-up guide) or Tianmu Lake Landscape Park, then return in the afternoon. 🍲Food philosophy before and after soaking • Before soaking: Avoid overeating or fasting; eat a small amount of easily digestible food. • After soaking: The body consumes a lot of energy and needs replenishment. Tianmu Lake’s signature clay pot fish head (bighead carp) is a must-order, with milky white broth and incredible freshness. Pair it with local Liyang farmhouse dishes like stuffed liver, white celery, and black rice for a fully satisfying meal. 🏡Stay by the hot spring to extend the warmth There are many accommodations around the hot spring, from high-end to unique: Liyang Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort Hotel: Seamlessly connected to the hot spring, some rooms have private hot spring baths, allowing you to soak downstairs— the most convenient and luxurious choice. Liyang Zhuxi Valley Hotel: A wild luxury hotel hidden in the bamboo valley, each villa has a private infinity pool and hot spring bath, offering top privacy, design, and harmony with nature. Liyang Tianmu Lake Hotel: A long-established five-star hotel with the best lake views of Tianmu Lake, standardized service, ideal for families obsessed with lake views. At Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring, time is meant to be wasted. When the warm spring water flows over your shoulders, watching the snow on the bamboo tips or the cold stars in the night sky, all fatigue and worries evaporate. This is a healing journey to recharge and renew energy for the whole family.

Not sponsored. Just sharing a great find 💡 This trip was seriously one of the best value-for-money getaways I’ve had! We spent only RMB 1,800 per person (about SGD 340) for 4 days and 3 nights — including food, accommodation, entertainment, and activities. 🤯 No extra charges for shows, games, or kid-friendly activities. Everything was included! Let’s be honest — in Singapore, even a casual meal can cost RMB 400+. But here? It was eat, sleep, play, repeat — all on a luxury ship. I may not be good at everything, but I’m definitely top-tier at finding travel steals 😎 (Remember when I spent just RMB 6,000 for an 8-day Europe cruise with my kid? Yup, nailed it again!) ❤️ If you’re interested, I’ll keep sharing great cruise deals when I spot them — totally free, just trying to help others save and travel smart! ✨ Trip Recap: 💰 Price: ~RMB 1,800 per person (3 pax room – 2 adults + 1 child, incl. taxes) 🏠 Room Type: Interior cabin (amazing value — will explain more in a later post!) 🚢 Ship: Genting Dream 🗺️ Route: Singapore → Penang → Melaka → Singapore (4D3N) #cruiselife #gentingdream #budgetcruise #familyvacation #travelwithkids #cruisetips #singaporetravel #cruisedeals #nosponsorshipjustsharing #smarttravel #seaescape

Wangxian Valley 2 days 1 night guide: The true Xianxia world! NPC interactions are so addictive After rewatching "Cang Lan Jue," I was crazy about the same Xianxia scenes and decisively dragged my bestie to Wangxian Valley for the weekend. Before departure, I saw many polarized reviews, but after experiencing it myself, I want to say: this is literally the real-life "Yunmengze"! Especially the NPC interactions, so fun I want to replay it many times. Here’s a detailed guide for you to save~ 🚄 Transportation Guide: Direct and non-detouring - High-speed rail: Nanjing → Shangrao Station, then take a direct shuttle bus to Wangxian Valley (30 RMB/person), 1.5 hours straight to the scenic entrance, super convenient. - Self-driving: Navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center," plenty of parking, suitable for families or groups. 🏠 Accommodation options? Two experiences for you to choose from - Cost-effective choice: Homestays near the scenic area, affordable (about 200-400 RMB/night), 10-minute walk to the entrance, perfect for budget travelers. - Immersive first choice: Cliffside homestays inside the scenic area! Open the window to a full canyon view, in the early morning mist it feels like living in a cloud palace. The downside is they are hard to book and pricier (about 800-1500 RMB/night), but the experience is top-notch. 🌈 2 days 1 night itinerary: Beautiful from day to night 𝑫𝒂𝒚 1: Daytime exploring & eating + NPC interactions, evening chasing night views - Noon: Enter the scenic area early! Watch the Xianxia town transform from daylight to dazzling lights, full of ceremony. First, go to Baiwei Street for a bite, Shangrao chicken leg and Dengzhan rice cakes are must-tries, the fragrant fried tofu is refreshing and cuts the greasiness. - Afternoon: Immersive NPC interactions (key! Don’t miss) - "Jin’s Bank": NPCs are super lively, play the size comparison game to win silver tickets. My bestie and I “cooperated” to win a bunch and exchanged them for small gifts, very rewarding. - "Yang Mansion Tales": Mysterious stories in the ancient house, so tense I covered my mouth the whole time, the immersion is amazing. - "Han Wedding": The Chinese wedding performance is super sweet, wearing the phoenix crown and embroidered robe instantly made me understand what “Chinese romantic peak” means. - "Jar Shadow Acrobatics": The acrobats’ high-altitude flips made people scream, recommend getting front row seats 10 minutes early. - Evening to night: Stroll along the check-in route, watch the lights turn on one by one. The waterfall with lighting at Yanpu Square is super stunning, and the lantern strings at the old walled building feel like stepping into a drama scene. 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2: Early morning fairy mist + free roaming - Morning: Wake up naturally and enter the valley again (if staying inside the scenic area, just open the window to see the view). Wangxian Valley in autumn looks like an impressionist painting, morning mist swirling around the cliffside homes, every photo looks like it has a “fairy filter.” - Noon: Leisurely stroll through Workshop Street, watch artisans making wooden movable type and silverware, buy a small souvenir. 📸 Classic photo spots: Avoid crowds for great shots 1. Lanyue Bridge: Best during the “blue hour” 30 minutes after sunset, lights just on, sky still blue, bridge and cliffside homes in one frame, atmosphere maxed out. 2. Baige Bridge: Can capture Baihe Cliff, Lanyue Bridge, and the ancient village all at once, recommend shooting in the morning with good light for clearer pictures. 3. Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlooking all the lights in the valley, especially after night lighting, like a god’s view of “Yunmengze” with thousands of lights, breathtakingly spectacular. 💡 Practical tips - Shoes: Many steps in the scenic area, definitely wear non-slip comfortable shoes, don’t wear heels just for photos (learned the hard way). - Clothing: Big temperature difference between morning and night in autumn, recommend thin layers underneath (easy for photos) + long coat (for mornings and evenings). Wearing traditional costumes makes photos better; rentals available in the scenic area (about 100 RMB/day). - Map: Get a hand-drawn map at the visitor center, follow the route “Waterfall Cluster → Baiwei Street → Yang Mansion Square → Glass Walkway → Chahe Tower” to avoid detours and hit all highlights. - Off-peak: Weekends are crowded, arrive 15 minutes early for performances; weekdays offer a better experience with more relaxed NPC interactions. The magic of Wangxian Valley is that it’s not just a “photo spot,” but a place where you truly immerse yourself in the Xianxia world—joking with NPCs like neighbors, feeling like you’ve stepped into a script when the lights come on. This kind of joy, only those who come will understand!

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Jiudao Gate: Nine stilted buildings connected together, staggered and embedded on the hillside. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

We went to Queenstown with the kids because of its reputation as the "Garden of the World," but it turns out this garden is for adults to enjoy. For kids, it's full of "not suitable for children" extreme challenges! Planning a family trip? Read my painful experience first! A rundown of those "not kid-friendly" must-try activities: 🚡 Skyline Gondola: The gondola itself is fine. But the luge on top is strictly for kids 6 years and older and taller than 110cm, and helmets are mandatory. My 5-year-old watched longingly but couldn’t play, which led to a meltdown. It’s windy up there, and the viewing platform has gaps in the railing, so you have to keep a close eye on the kids. 🚢 TSS Steamboat + Farm: The boat is an old classic and quite interesting. But the farm activities have fixed times and last nearly 4 hours, which is torture for little ones who don’t nap regularly. The sheep-shearing show is indoors and dimly lit, which can scare some kids. 🐎 Glenorchy Horse Riding / Lord of the Rings Tour: Horse riding has strict age and weight limits (usually 8+ years). The jet boat ride is more thrilling, but kids are too scared to go. The so-called "Lord of the Rings town" is just ordinary scenery for kids who haven’t seen the movies. 🦌 Queenstown Deer Park: Requires booking well in advance, limited to 80 cars per day. You can’t get out of the car inside, animals are far away, and kids get bored quickly. Not cost-effective. 🪂 Other extreme activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, giant swing... just watch from afar, none are suitable for young kids. What else can you do with kids in Queenstown? (Our exploration) Free Lakeside Playground: The playground by Queenstown Beach is great, facing the lake and mountains, kids can play for hours. Fruit Town Cromwell: A short drive from Queenstown, with various fruit shops and ice cream stores. In summer, you can pick cherries, which kids love. Arrowtown: Quieter than Queenstown, with golden autumn leaves, a short main street perfect for a casual stroll with kids and grabbing a pie. Indoor Playground: If it rains or is too cold, visit Lollipop’s Playland in town to let the kids burn off some energy. Core Tips for Family Trips in Queenstown: Be clear about your goals: If adults want to do extreme sports, don’t bring very young kids or arrange to take turns watching them. Stay lakeside: Choose accommodation within walking distance of Lake Wakatipu to save travel time and easily take kids to throw stones by the lake. Downgrade food plans: The famous Fergburger lines are crazy long and not worth the hassle with kids. Buy groceries at the supermarket to cook at your place or find quiet cafes. Drive safely: Bring a child safety seat that meets New Zealand standards. Queenstown is an adventurer’s paradise, not a playground for toddlers. Its beauty requires a certain age and courage to appreciate. If your kids are still young, treat this place as a "scenic rest stop" rather than a "busy activity destination."

Walking into Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity at the Flower Dome felt like stepping into a carefully curated Chinese New Year landscape. This year's exhibit centres on eight life-sized illuminated horse lanterns, handcrafted by artisans from Zigong, Sichuan, using traditional lantern-making techniques with roots tracing back to the Tang Dynasty. Inspired by Ba Jun Tu (八骏图), the horses symbolise strength, perseverance, momentum and success for the Year of the Horse. The surrounding display features over 10,000 plants, arranged in the style of classical Jiangnan gardens, complete with moon gates, pavilions, cascading water features and limestone rockery. Floral highlights include plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo - the “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese art - alongside seasonal blooms such as azaleas and dahlias. Housed within the climate-controlled Flower Dome, the exhibit combines horticultural expertise with cultural symbolism, offering a calm and immersive way to mark the Chinese New Year season. 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026 #thehedegehogtravels #thehedgehogknows #chinesenewyear2026 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026

Heaven on Earth Couldn’t Be More Perfect! Semporna Healing Travel Guide🌊 Who understands! The sea in Semporna is like the sky crushed and poured into the ocean, so clear you can see tropical fish darting through coral reefs. Every snap is a stunning, unfiltered masterpiece—this is the true island utopia! We've compiled a super practical guide to help you avoid pitfalls and enjoy this earthly paradise with ease👇 ✈️ Travel Essentials & Transportation Tips • Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, super convenient, but your passport must be valid for more than 6 months—don’t forget this! • Many small shops in Semporna only accept cash, so exchange your Malaysian Ringgit in advance for peace of mind; local ATMs support UnionPay withdrawals with a small fee. • The best choice for SIM cards is Celcom, with wide coverage and stable signals even out at sea. Many small tour groups even offer free SIM cards—great value! • Flights to Tawau via Kota Kinabalu are better! It takes just over 40 minutes to get there, and prices are half of those with Kuala Lumpur transfers. Save money and enjoy two extra seafood meals~ 🏨 Accommodation Tips & Island Recommendations • Don’t be tempted by cheap water chalets! Those costing just a few hundred ringgit have poor conditions and few entertainment options, wasting Semporna’s beautiful scenery. • Highly recommend Mabul Island Resort! It’s the only accommodation on the entire island, with no entry for non-guests, ensuring maximum privacy. The island’s trailing sandy beach is stunning—at low tide, you can stroll on fine sand. Be sure to book in advance! • Most resorts charge all-inclusive per person; solo travelers need to pay a room supplement. It’s better to travel with friends for higher cost-effectiveness. 🗺️ Classic 6-7 Day Itinerary (Kuala Lumpur + Semporna) 1. Kuala Lumpur 1 day: Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square to experience the blend of urban and cultural vibes; 2. Malacca 1 day: Explore the Dutch Red House and Jonker Street, and enjoy an authentic bowl of Nyonya cuisine on this historic street; 3. Semporna 3-4 days: Go snorkeling to explore the underwater world, relax at the resort watching the sea, and enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle; 4. If you have extra time, add Kota Kinabalu: Chase the stunning pink-purple sunsets, try sunset paddleboarding, venture into tropical rainforests to see fireflies—an unforgettable experience! 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Tips • Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can hike. The sea view from the summit is breathtaking, but be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes as the trails are not easy. • Semporna has very strong UV rays; high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential, or you’ll get sunburned and peeling in no time! If you also yearn for a healing trip of blue seas, skies, and coconut groves, Semporna is definitely worth the trip! Here, even the sea breeze carries the scent of freedom—you won’t want to leave once you arrive💙

If the weather is good, hike the Swallow Ridge loop trail. The sunrise sea of clouds combined with snow scenery looks like a fairyland! Kids find the cable car ride super exciting, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking, with kids exclaiming all the way. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain A must-visit for snow viewing! Hop on the scenic area shuttle bus and quickly enter a world of white snow. The rime frost hanging on branches looks like crystal curtains ❄️, with a new view at every step. Walking on the plank road with kids, stepping on snow and hearing the “crunch” sound is so much fun. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can’t imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds would be on a sunny day! After the visit, head straight to Daba Ski Resort to unlock various snow activities with your kids. . 📸 Family photo tips: 1️⃣ Dress your kids in bright colors! Red/pink/blue look amazing against the snow, making family photos super beautiful. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden cabins) to highlight the snow scenery.

Icicles/snow-covered leaves 🍂/close-ups of kids’ footprints to record the little joys of family travel. 4️⃣ It’s best to visit on a sunny day; the rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow scenery are truly breathtaking! 5️⃣ There are few food options in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and warm water to avoid hunger. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without long travel, making it super convenient with kids. . ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must when traveling with kids. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly～

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower. In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts, too, and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits. Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set. Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms. Location wise, very near to the causeway. #johorbahruhotels #travel #staycation #johor

Under the damp and chilly magic of Jiangnan, the best way to fight back is to find a real hot spring and soak yourself in warmth. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring is undoubtedly a top choice. It boasts tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest and represents authentic natural scenery and genuine hot springs. In winter, soaking in the calcium bicarbonate spring while admiring the sparse snowy bamboo forest around is the most luxurious relaxation for the whole family. 💧Why is it called "Yushui Hot Spring"? Core advantages explained • Authentic water quality: Sourced from beneath the surface, it is an officially certified natural hot spring, rich in various minerals, leaving skin smooth after soaking, unlike ordinary hot water. • Excellent environment: The hot spring pools are built along the mountain, staggered and embedded within the bamboo sea, offering great privacy. The pools blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, unlike crowded indoor pools. • Variety of pools: There are dozens of special pools, such as infused pools (with flower petals, Chinese herbs), dynamic pools, couples pools, and a children’s play pool designed for families (with lower water temperature, suitable for kids to play). 👨‍👩‍👧Complete guide for families soaking with kids • Recommended order: First, let the kids get used to the children’s play pool or the ordinary pool with lower temperature and play for a while. Then try other special pools, soaking no more than 15 minutes each time. • Safety and hygiene: Always supervise children to prevent slipping or choking. Require kids to wash before soaking and drink plenty of water during. • Warmth details: When getting out of the pool, quickly wrap the child in a large towel and head to the nearest warm corridor or rest area. The resort provides bathrobes, but bringing thicker towels or children’s robes is warmer. • Fun activities: Play a “pool hunt game” with the kids, using a map to find the most unique pools (like the “Bamboo Tip Hot Spring” on the bamboo tips), adding to the exploration fun. 🗓️Relaxed two-day one-night itinerary framework • Day 1: Arrival and immersion Afternoon: Drive or take transport to Tianmu Lake Resort Area and check into the hotel. Evening: Head to Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring to enjoy the tranquility of night soaking (the bamboo forest lit up at night is uniquely charming). After soaking, enjoy clay pot fish head soup in the resort. • Day 2: Leisurely return or combined sightseeing Option A (pure relaxation): Sleep in naturally, stroll around the hotel or nearby, then return in the afternoon. Option B (with sightseeing): After checkout in the morning, visit nearby Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea (see follow-up guide) or Tianmu Lake Landscape Park, then return in the afternoon. 🍲Food philosophy before and after soaking • Before soaking: Avoid overeating or fasting; eat a small amount of easily digestible food. • After soaking: The body consumes a lot of energy and needs replenishment. Tianmu Lake’s signature clay pot fish head (bighead carp) is a must-order, with milky white broth and incredible freshness. Pair it with local Liyang farmhouse dishes like stuffed liver, white celery, and black rice for a fully satisfying meal. 🏡Stay by the hot spring to extend the warmth There are many accommodations around the hot spring, from high-end to unique: Liyang Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort Hotel: Seamlessly connected to the hot spring, some rooms have private hot spring baths, allowing you to soak downstairs— the most convenient and luxurious choice. Liyang Zhuxi Valley Hotel: A wild luxury hotel hidden in the bamboo valley, each villa has a private infinity pool and hot spring bath, offering top privacy, design, and harmony with nature. Liyang Tianmu Lake Hotel: A long-established five-star hotel with the best lake views of Tianmu Lake, standardized service, ideal for families obsessed with lake views. At Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring, time is meant to be wasted. When the warm spring water flows over your shoulders, watching the snow on the bamboo tips or the cold stars in the night sky, all fatigue and worries evaporate. This is a healing journey to recharge and renew energy for the whole family.

Not sponsored. Just sharing a great find 💡 This trip was seriously one of the best value-for-money getaways I’ve had! We spent only RMB 1,800 per person (about SGD 340) for 4 days and 3 nights — including food, accommodation, entertainment, and activities. 🤯 No extra charges for shows, games, or kid-friendly activities. Everything was included! Let’s be honest — in Singapore, even a casual meal can cost RMB 400+. But here? It was eat, sleep, play, repeat — all on a luxury ship. I may not be good at everything, but I’m definitely top-tier at finding travel steals 😎 (Remember when I spent just RMB 6,000 for an 8-day Europe cruise with my kid? Yup, nailed it again!) ❤️ If you’re interested, I’ll keep sharing great cruise deals when I spot them — totally free, just trying to help others save and travel smart! ✨ Trip Recap: 💰 Price: ~RMB 1,800 per person (3 pax room – 2 adults + 1 child, incl. taxes) 🏠 Room Type: Interior cabin (amazing value — will explain more in a later post!) 🚢 Ship: Genting Dream 🗺️ Route: Singapore → Penang → Melaka → Singapore (4D3N) #cruiselife #gentingdream #budgetcruise #familyvacation #travelwithkids #cruisetips #singaporetravel #cruisedeals #nosponsorshipjustsharing #smarttravel #seaescape

Wangxian Valley 2 days 1 night guide: The true Xianxia world! NPC interactions are so addictive After rewatching "Cang Lan Jue," I was crazy about the same Xianxia scenes and decisively dragged my bestie to Wangxian Valley for the weekend. Before departure, I saw many polarized reviews, but after experiencing it myself, I want to say: this is literally the real-life "Yunmengze"! Especially the NPC interactions, so fun I want to replay it many times. Here’s a detailed guide for you to save~ 🚄 Transportation Guide: Direct and non-detouring - High-speed rail: Nanjing → Shangrao Station, then take a direct shuttle bus to Wangxian Valley (30 RMB/person), 1.5 hours straight to the scenic entrance, super convenient. - Self-driving: Navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center," plenty of parking, suitable for families or groups. 🏠 Accommodation options? Two experiences for you to choose from - Cost-effective choice: Homestays near the scenic area, affordable (about 200-400 RMB/night), 10-minute walk to the entrance, perfect for budget travelers. - Immersive first choice: Cliffside homestays inside the scenic area! Open the window to a full canyon view, in the early morning mist it feels like living in a cloud palace. The downside is they are hard to book and pricier (about 800-1500 RMB/night), but the experience is top-notch. 🌈 2 days 1 night itinerary: Beautiful from day to night 𝑫𝒂𝒚 1: Daytime exploring & eating + NPC interactions, evening chasing night views - Noon: Enter the scenic area early! Watch the Xianxia town transform from daylight to dazzling lights, full of ceremony. First, go to Baiwei Street for a bite, Shangrao chicken leg and Dengzhan rice cakes are must-tries, the fragrant fried tofu is refreshing and cuts the greasiness. - Afternoon: Immersive NPC interactions (key! Don’t miss) - "Jin’s Bank": NPCs are super lively, play the size comparison game to win silver tickets. My bestie and I “cooperated” to win a bunch and exchanged them for small gifts, very rewarding. - "Yang Mansion Tales": Mysterious stories in the ancient house, so tense I covered my mouth the whole time, the immersion is amazing. - "Han Wedding": The Chinese wedding performance is super sweet, wearing the phoenix crown and embroidered robe instantly made me understand what “Chinese romantic peak” means. - "Jar Shadow Acrobatics": The acrobats’ high-altitude flips made people scream, recommend getting front row seats 10 minutes early. - Evening to night: Stroll along the check-in route, watch the lights turn on one by one. The waterfall with lighting at Yanpu Square is super stunning, and the lantern strings at the old walled building feel like stepping into a drama scene. 𝑫𝒂𝒚 2: Early morning fairy mist + free roaming - Morning: Wake up naturally and enter the valley again (if staying inside the scenic area, just open the window to see the view). Wangxian Valley in autumn looks like an impressionist painting, morning mist swirling around the cliffside homes, every photo looks like it has a “fairy filter.” - Noon: Leisurely stroll through Workshop Street, watch artisans making wooden movable type and silverware, buy a small souvenir. 📸 Classic photo spots: Avoid crowds for great shots 1. Lanyue Bridge: Best during the “blue hour” 30 minutes after sunset, lights just on, sky still blue, bridge and cliffside homes in one frame, atmosphere maxed out. 2. Baige Bridge: Can capture Baihe Cliff, Lanyue Bridge, and the ancient village all at once, recommend shooting in the morning with good light for clearer pictures. 3. Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlooking all the lights in the valley, especially after night lighting, like a god’s view of “Yunmengze” with thousands of lights, breathtakingly spectacular. 💡 Practical tips - Shoes: Many steps in the scenic area, definitely wear non-slip comfortable shoes, don’t wear heels just for photos (learned the hard way). - Clothing: Big temperature difference between morning and night in autumn, recommend thin layers underneath (easy for photos) + long coat (for mornings and evenings). Wearing traditional costumes makes photos better; rentals available in the scenic area (about 100 RMB/day). - Map: Get a hand-drawn map at the visitor center, follow the route “Waterfall Cluster → Baiwei Street → Yang Mansion Square → Glass Walkway → Chahe Tower” to avoid detours and hit all highlights. - Off-peak: Weekends are crowded, arrive 15 minutes early for performances; weekdays offer a better experience with more relaxed NPC interactions. The magic of Wangxian Valley is that it’s not just a “photo spot,” but a place where you truly immerse yourself in the Xianxia world—joking with NPCs like neighbors, feeling like you’ve stepped into a script when the lights come on. This kind of joy, only those who come will understand!

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1. Jiudao Gate: Nine stilted buildings connected together, staggered and embedded on the hillside. Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

Besides mural photo spots, there are many delicious foods to try, and many old shops are truly unforgettable. ✅ The sunrise at the Clan Jetties is very worthwhile, especially at the Chen and Yang jetties. The sunset at Chen Jetty is also very pleasant. Penang Hill is recommended for the evening visit; the night view has a dreamy “La La Land” vibe and is great for photos.

We went to Queenstown with the kids because of its reputation as the "Garden of the World," but it turns out this garden is for adults to enjoy. For kids, it's full of "not suitable for children" extreme challenges! Planning a family trip? Read my painful experience first! A rundown of those "not kid-friendly" must-try activities: 🚡 Skyline Gondola: The gondola itself is fine. But the luge on top is strictly for kids 6 years and older and taller than 110cm, and helmets are mandatory. My 5-year-old watched longingly but couldn’t play, which led to a meltdown. It’s windy up there, and the viewing platform has gaps in the railing, so you have to keep a close eye on the kids. 🚢 TSS Steamboat + Farm: The boat is an old classic and quite interesting. But the farm activities have fixed times and last nearly 4 hours, which is torture for little ones who don’t nap regularly. The sheep-shearing show is indoors and dimly lit, which can scare some kids. 🐎 Glenorchy Horse Riding / Lord of the Rings Tour: Horse riding has strict age and weight limits (usually 8+ years). The jet boat ride is more thrilling, but kids are too scared to go. The so-called "Lord of the Rings town" is just ordinary scenery for kids who haven’t seen the movies. 🦌 Queenstown Deer Park: Requires booking well in advance, limited to 80 cars per day. You can’t get out of the car inside, animals are far away, and kids get bored quickly. Not cost-effective. 🪂 Other extreme activities: Skydiving, bungee jumping, giant swing... just watch from afar, none are suitable for young kids. What else can you do with kids in Queenstown? (Our exploration) Free Lakeside Playground: The playground by Queenstown Beach is great, facing the lake and mountains, kids can play for hours. Fruit Town Cromwell: A short drive from Queenstown, with various fruit shops and ice cream stores. In summer, you can pick cherries, which kids love. Arrowtown: Quieter than Queenstown, with golden autumn leaves, a short main street perfect for a casual stroll with kids and grabbing a pie. Indoor Playground: If it rains or is too cold, visit Lollipop’s Playland in town to let the kids burn off some energy. Core Tips for Family Trips in Queenstown: Be clear about your goals: If adults want to do extreme sports, don’t bring very young kids or arrange to take turns watching them. Stay lakeside: Choose accommodation within walking distance of Lake Wakatipu to save travel time and easily take kids to throw stones by the lake. Downgrade food plans: The famous Fergburger lines are crazy long and not worth the hassle with kids. Buy groceries at the supermarket to cook at your place or find quiet cafes. Drive safely: Bring a child safety seat that meets New Zealand standards. Queenstown is an adventurer’s paradise, not a playground for toddlers. Its beauty requires a certain age and courage to appreciate. If your kids are still young, treat this place as a "scenic rest stop" rather than a "busy activity destination."

I've found Jingning's hidden fairyland!

Outfit advice: Solid color long dress + straw hat to match architectural lines, kids wear overalls for lively playground shots 3.

Watching my kid roll with laughter in the dinosaur sandpit, my husband posing for the eightieth photo at the infinity pool—this is the perfect vacation I wanted. Next time, I’ll bring my parents too, to sip She ethnic red tea in the sea of clouds~

～～～ Just got back from Malacca. Before the trip, I checked hotel reviews and came across the hotel where Fan Ye stayed in Malacca. I was instantly captivated by the resort’s Nanyang style! After staying three days, even my friends kept saying at checkout: Next time we come to Malacca, we have to stay here‼️ Here, on one side is the tranquility of a tropical oasis, and on the other is the rich Peranakan culture. You can enjoy Nanyang-style cuisine, and the outlet mall is just nearby—truly a “one-stop vacation” 🌴 🏨 PARKROYAL A’Famosa Melaka Resort ⛱️ Environment & Location The hotel is hidden in Malacca’s natural oasis. Right outside is the wildlife park, and it’s a 15-minute walk to the outlet mall. It perfectly combines “history, nature, family fun, and shopping”! Woken up by tropical birdsong in the morning, open the balcony door to a lush garden, and the golf course’s greenery is in full view nearby—vacation vibes maxed out 🌿 🏡 Exterior & Architecture As soon as you enter, you’re immersed in Baba-Nyonya style! The entire place features solid wood furniture and distinctive tiles, with every wall telling the story of Malacca’s heritage. The 213 rooms and suites are scattered throughout the garden. The public areas, including the pool and restaurants, exude a laid-back Nanyang feel, especially the poolside bar and pool area—every photo you take screams vacation mode. No wonder even Fan Ye chose to stay here when visiting Malacca 🧚‍♀️ 🛏️ Rooms & Facilities This time I stayed in the brand-new Junior Suite, which is very spacious. Modern decor mixed with Peranakan elements, with great attention to detail! You can also enjoy executive lounge privileges. The resort is equipped with a pool, kids’ pool, playground, and a 24-hour gym to meet the vacation needs of all ages 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 🍴 Dining Experience ▪️ Spice Brasserie: Even the buffet breakfast here is full of surprises!

Walking into Spring Blossoms: Gallop into Prosperity at the Flower Dome felt like stepping into a carefully curated Chinese New Year landscape. This year's exhibit centres on eight life-sized illuminated horse lanterns, handcrafted by artisans from Zigong, Sichuan, using traditional lantern-making techniques with roots tracing back to the Tang Dynasty. Inspired by Ba Jun Tu (八骏图), the horses symbolise strength, perseverance, momentum and success for the Year of the Horse. The surrounding display features over 10,000 plants, arranged in the style of classical Jiangnan gardens, complete with moon gates, pavilions, cascading water features and limestone rockery. Floral highlights include plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboo - the “Four Gentlemen” in Chinese art - alongside seasonal blooms such as azaleas and dahlias. Housed within the climate-controlled Flower Dome, the exhibit combines horticultural expertise with cultural symbolism, offering a calm and immersive way to mark the Chinese New Year season. 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026 #thehedegehogtravels #thehedgehogknows #chinesenewyear2026 📍 Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay 📅 16 Jan – 1 Mar 2026

Heaven on Earth Couldn’t Be More Perfect! Semporna Healing Travel Guide🌊 Who understands! The sea in Semporna is like the sky crushed and poured into the ocean, so clear you can see tropical fish darting through coral reefs. Every snap is a stunning, unfiltered masterpiece—this is the true island utopia! We've compiled a super practical guide to help you avoid pitfalls and enjoy this earthly paradise with ease👇 ✈️ Travel Essentials & Transportation Tips • Malaysia offers visa-free entry for Chinese travelers, super convenient, but your passport must be valid for more than 6 months—don’t forget this! • Many small shops in Semporna only accept cash, so exchange your Malaysian Ringgit in advance for peace of mind; local ATMs support UnionPay withdrawals with a small fee. • The best choice for SIM cards is Celcom, with wide coverage and stable signals even out at sea. Many small tour groups even offer free SIM cards—great value! • Flights to Tawau via Kota Kinabalu are better! It takes just over 40 minutes to get there, and prices are half of those with Kuala Lumpur transfers. Save money and enjoy two extra seafood meals~ 🏨 Accommodation Tips & Island Recommendations • Don’t be tempted by cheap water chalets! Those costing just a few hundred ringgit have poor conditions and few entertainment options, wasting Semporna’s beautiful scenery. • Highly recommend Mabul Island Resort! It’s the only accommodation on the entire island, with no entry for non-guests, ensuring maximum privacy. The island’s trailing sandy beach is stunning—at low tide, you can stroll on fine sand. Be sure to book in advance! • Most resorts charge all-inclusive per person; solo travelers need to pay a room supplement. It’s better to travel with friends for higher cost-effectiveness. 🗺️ Classic 6-7 Day Itinerary (Kuala Lumpur + Semporna) 1. Kuala Lumpur 1 day: Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka Square to experience the blend of urban and cultural vibes; 2. Malacca 1 day: Explore the Dutch Red House and Jonker Street, and enjoy an authentic bowl of Nyonya cuisine on this historic street; 3. Semporna 3-4 days: Go snorkeling to explore the underwater world, relax at the resort watching the sea, and enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle; 4. If you have extra time, add Kota Kinabalu: Chase the stunning pink-purple sunsets, try sunset paddleboarding, venture into tropical rainforests to see fireflies—an unforgettable experience! 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Tips • Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna where you can hike. The sea view from the summit is breathtaking, but be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes as the trails are not easy. • Semporna has very strong UV rays; high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat are essential, or you’ll get sunburned and peeling in no time! If you also yearn for a healing trip of blue seas, skies, and coconut groves, Semporna is definitely worth the trip! Here, even the sea breeze carries the scent of freedom—you won’t want to leave once you arrive💙

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here, until I brought my kids to this silver world covered in white snow and discovered that the winter scenery is even more stunning! Perfect for family trips around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong, plan a weekend two-day tour to let your kids experience the romance of ice and snow～ . Here’s my two-day, one-night family travel itinerary: Day❶: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge ➠ Stay at the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area Day❷: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ (Families with more time can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong for a more relaxed pace) . ❄️ Guangwu Mountain family travel route and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Swallow Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Swallow Ridge loop trail. The sunrise sea of clouds combined with snow scenery looks like a fairyland! Kids find the cable car ride super exciting, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking, with kids exclaiming all the way. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain A must-visit for snow viewing! Hop on the scenic area shuttle bus and quickly enter a world of white snow. The rime frost hanging on branches looks like crystal curtains ❄️, with a new view at every step. Walking on the plank road with kids, stepping on snow and hearing the “crunch” sound is so much fun. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can’t imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds would be on a sunny day! After the visit, head straight to Daba Ski Resort to unlock various snow activities with your kids. . 📸 Family photo tips: 1️⃣ Dress your kids in bright colors! Red/pink/blue look amazing against the snow, making family photos super beautiful. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden cabins) to highlight the snow scenery. Have kids do cute actions like building snow or throwing snow for instant great shots. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles/snow-covered leaves 🍂/close-ups of kids’ footprints to record the little joys of family travel. 4️⃣ It’s best to visit on a sunny day; the rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow scenery are truly breathtaking! 5️⃣ There are few food options in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and warm water to avoid hunger. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without long travel, making it super convenient with kids. . ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must when traveling with kids.

Got a chance to stay at the Trove Hotel recently. Had a Club Deluxe Room 2709. The check-in was simple, just IC for verification, and we are set. The room was clean, spacious, and everything working well. Loved their alkaline water purifying machine in the room, its eco-friendly, and gives good water. The bathroom comes with full toiletries set and a powerful shower. In terms of facilities, the hotel has a gym, a pool, the do have some meeting rooms, a convenient store, a car rental agency, a spa center, a bar and a cafe. If you want to eat out there are also nearby shops you can go for. The hotel breakfast is nice, and I loved their nasi lemak ayam rendang. They do have quality cold cuts, too, and a few live stations, including cook to order eggs and also a roti john, murtabak, and roti canai station. Others are standard DIY noodle stations, good selections of local and international items, salad, desserts, pastries, and fruits. Also tried their RM88 afternoon tea set, which is amazing. I loved their skewers that come with the set. Parking is quite ok, but it's a different lift to the parking and the rooms. Location wise, very near to the causeway. #johorbahruhotels #travel #staycation #johor

Under the damp and chilly magic of Jiangnan, the best way to fight back is to find a real hot spring and soak yourself in warmth. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring is undoubtedly a top choice. It boasts tens of thousands of acres of bamboo forest and represents authentic natural scenery and genuine hot springs. In winter, soaking in the calcium bicarbonate spring while admiring the sparse snowy bamboo forest around is the most luxurious relaxation for the whole family. 💧Why is it called "Yushui Hot Spring"? Core advantages explained • Authentic water quality: Sourced from beneath the surface, it is an officially certified natural hot spring, rich in various minerals, leaving skin smooth after soaking, unlike ordinary hot water. • Excellent environment: The hot spring pools are built along the mountain, staggered and embedded within the bamboo sea, offering great privacy. The pools blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, unlike crowded indoor pools. • Variety of pools: There are dozens of special pools, such as infused pools (with flower petals, Chinese herbs), dynamic pools, couples pools, and a children’s play pool designed for families (with lower water temperature, suitable for kids to play). 👨‍👩‍👧Complete guide for families soaking with kids • Recommended order: First, let the kids get used to the children’s play pool or the ordinary pool with lower temperature and play for a while. Then try other special pools, soaking no more than 15 minutes each time. • Safety and hygiene: Always supervise children to prevent slipping or choking. Require kids to wash before soaking and drink plenty of water during. • Warmth details: When getting out of the pool, quickly wrap the child in a large towel and head to the nearest warm corridor or rest area. The resort provides bathrobes, but bringing thicker towels or children’s robes is warmer. • Fun activities: Play a “pool hunt game” with the kids, using a map to find the most unique pools (like the “Bamboo Tip Hot Spring” on the bamboo tips), adding to the exploration fun. 🗓️Relaxed two-day one-night itinerary framework • Day 1: Arrival and immersion Afternoon: Drive or take transport to Tianmu Lake Resort Area and check into the hotel. Evening: Head to Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring to enjoy the tranquility of night soaking (the bamboo forest lit up at night is uniquely charming). After soaking, enjoy clay pot fish head soup in the resort. • Day 2: Leisurely return or combined sightseeing Option A (pure relaxation): Sleep in naturally, stroll around the hotel or nearby, then return in the afternoon. Option B (with sightseeing): After checkout in the morning, visit nearby Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea (see follow-up guide) or Tianmu Lake Landscape Park, then return in the afternoon. 🍲Food philosophy before and after soaking • Before soaking: Avoid overeating or fasting; eat a small amount of easily digestible food. • After soaking: The body consumes a lot of energy and needs replenishment. Tianmu Lake’s signature clay pot fish head (bighead carp) is a must-order, with milky white broth and incredible freshness. Pair it with local Liyang farmhouse dishes like stuffed liver, white celery, and black rice for a fully satisfying meal. 🏡Stay by the hot spring to extend the warmth There are many accommodations around the hot spring, from high-end to unique: Liyang Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring Resort Hotel: Seamlessly connected to the hot spring, some rooms have private hot spring baths, allowing you to soak downstairs— the most convenient and luxurious choice. Liyang Zhuxi Valley Hotel: A wild luxury hotel hidden in the bamboo valley, each villa has a private infinity pool and hot spring bath, offering top privacy, design, and harmony with nature. Liyang Tianmu Lake Hotel: A long-established five-star hotel with the best lake views of Tianmu Lake, standardized service, ideal for families obsessed with lake views. At Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Spring, time is meant to be wasted. When the warm spring water flows over your shoulders, watching the snow on the bamboo tips or the cold stars in the night sky, all fatigue and worries evaporate. This is a healing journey to recharge and renew energy for the whole family.
