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!

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

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."

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

If the weather is good, hike the Yanzi Ridge loop. The sunrise, sea of clouds, and snow scenery create a fairyland, truly stunning! The loop is not difficult for kids, with rest areas along the way, and kids can observe plants in the snow, gaining knowledge. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain You must bring kids here to see the snow! Take the scenic area shuttle, and soon you’ll be surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with rime frost hanging on branches like crystal curtains ❄️, every step a new view.

Icicles, snow-covered leaves 🍂, close-ups of kids’ footprints—all very memorable shots. 4️⃣ It’s best to bring kids on sunny days; rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow are truly beautiful and better for photos. 5️⃣ There’s little food available in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and hot water to keep their energy up. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without traveling far with kids. ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly ❄️

Take this guide and embark on a slow journey through Southern Fujian, intertwining mountains, seas, and culture, all within a 6000 RMB budget!

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!

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!

Such a hidden gem of a guesthouse, wish I had found it sooner!!! Ladies, hurry up and go💨 It's super interesting🤩 The founders of this guesthouse are actually a few lawyers who "escaped the hustle and bustle"👨⚖️ They used an entire thousand-square-meter Naxi courtyard but only built a handful of rooms! They left most of the space for the snow mountains, sunshine, and tranquility🏡 Every snapshot looks like a masterpiece📸 ✨Live inside a "frame" of the snow mountain This is probably the closest you can get to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain💯 Lying in bed you can see the snow mountain, soaking in the tub you can see the snow mountain, drinking tea you can see the snow mountain... amazing! Especially in the early morning🌄 The golden sunlight gradually "makes up" the snow mountain, it's truly healing～ 🏡Minimalist natural wood style + old Naxi courtyard The designer nailed it!

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

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."

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

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here until I brought my kids to this snow-covered silver world after the snowfall. Seeing it with my own eyes, I realized it’s truly breathtaking! Perfect for a weekend two-day trip around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong to let kids experience the unique joy of winter~ Here’s my two-day one-night parent-child itinerary for Guangwu Mountain: Day 1: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Yanzi Ridge ➠ Stay near the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area (There are many family-friendly guesthouses around the scenic area, fully equipped to let kids rest well) Day 2: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ For those with more time, you can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong, which also has many kid-friendly attractions ❄️ Guangwu Mountain parent-child itinerary and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Yanzi Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Yanzi Ridge loop. The sunrise, sea of clouds, and snow scenery create a fairyland, truly stunning! The loop is not difficult for kids, with rest areas along the way, and kids can observe plants in the snow, gaining knowledge. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain You must bring kids here to see the snow! Take the scenic area shuttle, and soon you’ll be surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with rime frost hanging on branches like crystal curtains ❄️, every step a new view. Walking on the snow-covered boardwalk makes a crunching sound 👣 that kids love. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can only imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds are on a sunny day! After the visit, you can go skiing at Daba Ski Resort 🏂, which has kids’ equipment and instructors, so you can safely let your kids play. 📸 Parent-child cloudy day photo tips: 1️⃣ Wear bright-colored family outfits! Red, pink, or blue look great and stand out against the snow. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden houses) to highlight the snow and kids, making photos more striking. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles, snow-covered leaves 🍂, close-ups of kids’ footprints—all very memorable shots. 4️⃣ It’s best to bring kids on sunny days; rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow are truly beautiful and better for photos. 5️⃣ There’s little food available in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and hot water to keep their energy up. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without traveling far with kids. ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly ❄️

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!

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

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."

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

If the weather is good, hike the Yanzi Ridge loop. The sunrise, sea of clouds, and snow scenery create a fairyland, truly stunning! The loop is not difficult for kids, with rest areas along the way, and kids can observe plants in the snow, gaining knowledge. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain You must bring kids here to see the snow! Take the scenic area shuttle, and soon you’ll be surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with rime frost hanging on branches like crystal curtains ❄️, every step a new view.

Icicles, snow-covered leaves 🍂, close-ups of kids’ footprints—all very memorable shots. 4️⃣ It’s best to bring kids on sunny days; rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow are truly beautiful and better for photos. 5️⃣ There’s little food available in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and hot water to keep their energy up. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without traveling far with kids. ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly ❄️

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!

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.

Georgia, nestled in the Caucasus Mountains and known as the "God's Backyard," is becoming an increasingly treasured destination for travelers with its magnificent natural scenery, 8,000-year history of winemaking, and unique culture blending East and West. This guide will take you through its highlights. 1. Preparation Before Travel · Visa: Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 30 days (please pay attention to policy updates). · Currency: The local currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL). It is recommended to bring US dollars or euros to exchange at city exchange points; credit cards are accepted in some places. · Language: The official language is Georgian, but Russian and English are widely spoken in tourist areas. · Best Travel Time: May to June and September to October, with pleasant weather and the most beautiful scenery. July and August are good for hiking in the mountains but hot in the lowlands; winter is the peak season for skiing. 2. Must-Experience Highlights 1. Tbilisi – A Gentle Old Dream of Mixed Styles As the capital, Tbilisi is the starting point and core of almost every trip. · Narikala Fortress: Take the cable car up the hill to overlook the entire old town, with the Mother of Georgia statue standing nearby. The sunset view is especially stunning. · Old Town: Wander through narrow cobblestone streets and find traditional houses with ornate wooden balconies. Don’t forget to experience an authentic sulfur bath in the famous Abanotubani district. · Holy Trinity Cathedral: A symbol of Georgian Orthodox Christianity, the cathedral is grand and solemn inside. · Dry Bridge Market: Hunt for Soviet-era antiques and soak in the local bustling market atmosphere. 2. 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. Hike or drive up to feel the tranquility and grandeur of the "place closest to God." 3. 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. The scenery here is pristine and desolate, as if time stands still. 5. 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. Food and Wine, A Feast for the Senses · Khinkali (Soup Dumplings): Georgia’s national treasure dish, eat by holding the "little knob," sip the soup first, then eat the meat—remember, no knives or forks! · Khachapuri (Cheese Bread): The most famous is the "Adjarian" style, a boat-shaped bread filled with flowing cheese and a raw egg in the center. 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!

Such a hidden gem of a guesthouse, wish I had found it sooner!!! Ladies, hurry up and go💨 It's super interesting🤩 The founders of this guesthouse are actually a few lawyers who "escaped the hustle and bustle"👨⚖️ They used an entire thousand-square-meter Naxi courtyard but only built a handful of rooms! They left most of the space for the snow mountains, sunshine, and tranquility🏡 Every snapshot looks like a masterpiece📸 ✨Live inside a "frame" of the snow mountain This is probably the closest you can get to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain💯 Lying in bed you can see the snow mountain, soaking in the tub you can see the snow mountain, drinking tea you can see the snow mountain... amazing! Especially in the early morning🌄 The golden sunlight gradually "makes up" the snow mountain, it's truly healing～ 🏡Minimalist natural wood style + old Naxi courtyard The designer nailed it!

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

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."

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

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here until I brought my kids to this snow-covered silver world after the snowfall. Seeing it with my own eyes, I realized it’s truly breathtaking! Perfect for a weekend two-day trip around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong to let kids experience the unique joy of winter~ Here’s my two-day one-night parent-child itinerary for Guangwu Mountain: Day 1: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Yanzi Ridge ➠ Stay near the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area (There are many family-friendly guesthouses around the scenic area, fully equipped to let kids rest well) Day 2: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ For those with more time, you can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong, which also has many kid-friendly attractions ❄️ Guangwu Mountain parent-child itinerary and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Yanzi Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Yanzi Ridge loop. The sunrise, sea of clouds, and snow scenery create a fairyland, truly stunning! The loop is not difficult for kids, with rest areas along the way, and kids can observe plants in the snow, gaining knowledge. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain You must bring kids here to see the snow! Take the scenic area shuttle, and soon you’ll be surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with rime frost hanging on branches like crystal curtains ❄️, every step a new view. Walking on the snow-covered boardwalk makes a crunching sound 👣 that kids love. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can only imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds are on a sunny day! After the visit, you can go skiing at Daba Ski Resort 🏂, which has kids’ equipment and instructors, so you can safely let your kids play. 📸 Parent-child cloudy day photo tips: 1️⃣ Wear bright-colored family outfits! Red, pink, or blue look great and stand out against the snow. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden houses) to highlight the snow and kids, making photos more striking. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles, snow-covered leaves 🍂, close-ups of kids’ footprints—all very memorable shots. 4️⃣ It’s best to bring kids on sunny days; rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow are truly beautiful and better for photos. 5️⃣ There’s little food available in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and hot water to keep their energy up. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without traveling far with kids. ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly ❄️

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!

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

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."

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

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here until I brought my kids to this snow-covered silver world after the snowfall.

If the weather is good, hike the Yanzi Ridge loop. The sunrise, sea of clouds, and snow scenery create a fairyland, truly stunning! The loop is not difficult for kids, with rest areas along the way, and kids can observe plants in the snow, gaining knowledge. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain You must bring kids here to see the snow! Take the scenic area shuttle, and soon you’ll be surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with rime frost hanging on branches like crystal curtains ❄️, every step a new view.

Icicles, snow-covered leaves 🍂, close-ups of kids’ footprints—all very memorable shots. 4️⃣ It’s best to bring kids on sunny days; rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow are truly beautiful and better for photos. 5️⃣ There’s little food available in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and hot water to keep their energy up. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without traveling far with kids. ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly ❄️

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!

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

Georgia, nestled in the Caucasus Mountains and known as the "God's Backyard," is becoming an increasingly treasured destination for travelers with its magnificent natural scenery, 8,000-year history of winemaking, and unique culture blending East and West. This guide will take you through its highlights. 1. Preparation Before Travel · Visa: Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 30 days (please pay attention to policy updates). · Currency: The local currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL). It is recommended to bring US dollars or euros to exchange at city exchange points; credit cards are accepted in some places. · Language: The official language is Georgian, but Russian and English are widely spoken in tourist areas. · Best Travel Time: May to June and September to October, with pleasant weather and the most beautiful scenery. July and August are good for hiking in the mountains but hot in the lowlands; winter is the peak season for skiing. 2. Must-Experience Highlights 1. Tbilisi – A Gentle Old Dream of Mixed Styles As the capital, Tbilisi is the starting point and core of almost every trip. · Narikala Fortress: Take the cable car up the hill to overlook the entire old town, with the Mother of Georgia statue standing nearby. The sunset view is especially stunning. · Old Town: Wander through narrow cobblestone streets and find traditional houses with ornate wooden balconies. Don’t forget to experience an authentic sulfur bath in the famous Abanotubani district. · Holy Trinity Cathedral: A symbol of Georgian Orthodox Christianity, the cathedral is grand and solemn inside. · Dry Bridge Market: Hunt for Soviet-era antiques and soak in the local bustling market atmosphere. 2. 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. Hike or drive up to feel the tranquility and grandeur of the "place closest to God." 3. 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. The scenery here is pristine and desolate, as if time stands still. 5. 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. Food and Wine, A Feast for the Senses · Khinkali (Soup Dumplings): Georgia’s national treasure dish, eat by holding the "little knob," sip the soup first, then eat the meat—remember, no knives or forks! · Khachapuri (Cheese Bread): The most famous is the "Adjarian" style, a boat-shaped bread filled with flowing cheese and a raw egg in the center. 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!

Such a hidden gem of a guesthouse, wish I had found it sooner!!!

They left most of the space for the snow mountains, sunshine, and tranquility🏡 Every snapshot looks like a masterpiece📸 ✨Live inside a "frame" of the snow mountain This is probably the closest you can get to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain💯 Lying in bed you can see the snow mountain, soaking in the tub you can see the snow mountain, drinking tea you can see the snow mountain... amazing! Especially in the early morning🌄 The golden sunlight gradually "makes up" the snow mountain, it's truly healing～ 🏡Minimalist natural wood style + old Naxi courtyard The designer nailed it!

Known as one of the "must-stay hotels in a lifetime," The Lalu at Sun Moon Lake was personally designed by the legendary architect Kerry Hill. Its minimalist style echoes the Zen landscape of Sun Moon Lake, adhering to a design philosophy of coexistence with nature. The understated yet stylish design, combined with meticulous and thoughtful service, makes it a representative of Taiwan's top luxury resorts, perfect for families to experience the beauty of Zen and nature. The Lalu offers a unique serene and ethereal atmosphere, where every view brings a sense of physical and mental comfort, as if time stands still, allowing children to find tranquility amid the noisy world. Departing from Taipei, after a three-hour drive, we finally arrived at the hotel entrance. The hotel provides considerate valet parking service, so you don’t have to worry about finding a parking spot yourself; when you need your car, just inform the staff, and someone will bring it right to you, making traveling with kids super hassle-free. Entering the lobby, the elegant, warm, yet unpretentious style greets you. The semi-open space design immediately gives a full sense of vacation leisure, and children can instantly relax. The hotel consists of two buildings: Floors 1-3 are lakeside suites, more affordable and closer to the lake surface, allowing children to experience the lake’s tranquility up close. Floors 4-5 are lake view suites, located on higher floors, offering a broader view of Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island, with excellent vistas and relatively higher prices. This stay was in a lake view suite. Although The Lalu has been around for over a decade, it is very well preserved, showing hardly any signs of aging, and the facilities remain excellent. Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the living area, with freshly bloomed lotus flowers placed above the dining table, fresh and elegant. The room features understated and elegant wooden design, equipped with a king-size bed, spacious and comfortable. The biggest surprise is the balcony facing the famous Sun Moon Lake and Lalu Island. Staying with kids by Sun Moon Lake, the most delightful thing is enjoying the stunning lake view right from the room, falling asleep accompanied by the lake and mountain scenery. Both the lake view and lakeside suites have an extra-large balcony facing the lake, furnished with a tea table, chairs, and a sofa bed. Lying here with the kids, watching the calm lake and feeling the gentle breeze is truly one of life’s great pleasures. On the first floor is The Lalu’s infinity pool. To give guests the ultimate experience of swimming as if in Sun Moon Lake itself, the hotel repeatedly removed and redid the pool’s stone tiles several times, showing their extreme attention to detail. Playing in the pool with kids feels like merging with Sun Moon Lake, full of fun. On the lakeside loungers, reading with the kids, enjoying the sunshine, slowing down your pace and mood, and experiencing the slow life of Japanese Zen is very pleasant. The water pool at The Lalu’s main entrance floats elegant lotus flowers during the day, and at night, it is replaced by twinkling lights that adorn the gradually darkening night scene, creating a breathtaking view. The next morning at 5:29 AM, mist enveloped the lake surface, presenting a hazy beauty. Capturing these wonderful moments with the kids through the lens, the calm lake emits a particularly quiet aura, allowing one to have a good conversation with their soul and letting children feel the tranquility and wonder of nature. Staying with kids at The Lalu Sun Moon Lake lets you enjoy the stunning lake and mountain scenery, experience the slow life of Zen, and enjoy thoughtful and attentive service. It is definitely an unforgettable family vacation experience in Taiwan!

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."

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.

I always thought the autumn red leaves were the highlight here until I brought my kids to this snow-covered silver world after the snowfall. Seeing it with my own eyes, I realized it’s truly breathtaking! Perfect for a weekend two-day trip around Chengdu/Bazhong or Hanzhong to let kids experience the unique joy of winter~ Here’s my two-day one-night parent-child itinerary for Guangwu Mountain: Day 1: Chengdu ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Guangwu Mountain Yanzi Ridge ➠ Stay near the entrance of Micang Mountain Scenic Area (There are many family-friendly guesthouses around the scenic area, fully equipped to let kids rest well) Day 2: Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain ➠ Daba Ski Resort 🏂 ➠ Hanzhong ➠ Chengdu ‼ For those with more time, you can spend 1-2 extra days in Hanzhong, which also has many kid-friendly attractions ❄️ Guangwu Mountain parent-child itinerary and photo tips: ✔️ Guangwu Mountain Yanzi Ridge Take the cable car directly 🚠. If the weather is good, hike the Yanzi Ridge loop. The sunrise, sea of clouds, and snow scenery create a fairyland, truly stunning! The loop is not difficult for kids, with rest areas along the way, and kids can observe plants in the snow, gaining knowledge. ✔️ Micang Mountain Xianglu Mountain You must bring kids here to see the snow! Take the scenic area shuttle, and soon you’ll be surrounded by snow-covered landscapes, with rime frost hanging on branches like crystal curtains ❄️, every step a new view. Walking on the snow-covered boardwalk makes a crunching sound 👣 that kids love. We went on a cloudy, slightly foggy day, and I can only imagine how beautiful the rime frost and sea of clouds are on a sunny day! After the visit, you can go skiing at Daba Ski Resort 🏂, which has kids’ equipment and instructors, so you can safely let your kids play. 📸 Parent-child cloudy day photo tips: 1️⃣ Wear bright-colored family outfits! Red, pink, or blue look great and stand out against the snow. 2️⃣ Find dark backgrounds (pine and cypress forests/wooden houses) to highlight the snow and kids, making photos more striking. 3️⃣ Capture details! Icicles, snow-covered leaves 🍂, close-ups of kids’ footprints—all very memorable shots. 4️⃣ It’s best to bring kids on sunny days; rime frost, sea of clouds, and snow are truly beautiful and better for photos. 5️⃣ There’s little food available in the scenic areas, so be sure to bring your kids’ favorite snacks and hot water to keep their energy up. 6️⃣ The two scenic spots are only 8 km apart, so you can visit both without traveling far with kids. ‼ On snowy days, safety is a must. If driving, remember to bring snow chains. The day we went, it snowed and the roads were icy, so drive slowly ❄️

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~
