Dear friends! Forget the crowded Jingdezhen~ Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi is the true secret realm of immortals! Buildings perched on cliffs, waterfalls forming rivers, and at night the lights shine like the immortal stage from "Cang Lan Jue." With direct high-speed rail access and featured in National Geographic, this 2-day 1-night guide will help you unlock this breathtaking experience~ 🚗 How to get there? The transportation guide is super simple · High-speed rail: Direct trains to "Shangrao Station" from various places. After exiting, take the scenic area shuttle bus (30 RMB/person, 1 hour to the visitor center), frequent departures so no waiting. · Self-driving/taxi: Taxi from Shangrao Station costs about 150 RMB, suitable for groups (can carry luggage + costume props), navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." · Inside the scenic area: Walk! Many steps but not steep, just wear comfortable shoes. The scenery along the way makes walking and taking photos enjoyable. 🏡 Staying overnight is the right way to experience it You must stay inside the scenic area! Tickets are valid for 2 days, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone in the early morning and at night: · Wangxian Valley homestay cluster: Choose the "Cliff Homestay" (open the window to waterfalls + hanging buildings, fall asleep to the sound of water at night); for families with kids, choose "Workshop Street Homestay" (close to the snack street, convenient for buying treats). · Hidden perk: Guests can use a special homestay passage to avoid the main entrance crowds. At 6 AM, go to Mingchan Alley to shoot the morning mist, feeling like stepping into an empty immortal world. 📸 2-day 1-night itinerary + photo spots Day 1: Explore the valley by day, chase the lights by night · 10:00 Qingyun Bridge: Stand in the middle of the covered bridge to shoot the triple waterfall from above. Use slow shutter to make the water silky; when sunny, you can see a rainbow. · 11:30 Baiwei Street: Eat Jiangxi rice noodles (non-spicy version available), Dengzhan cake, buy osmanthus cake for kids, and parents try fermented glutinous rice balls. · 14:00 Baige Bridge: Capture the panoramic view of the cliff hanging buildings. Wear ancient costumes and stand in the middle of the bridge with green mountains and waterfalls behind you for a full martial arts vibe. · 16:00 Lanyue Bridge: Secure your spot before the blue hour! When red lanterns light up, the bridge and its reflection form a circle, resembling the Siming Palace in "Cang Lan Jue." · 19:30 "Wangxian Burning Dream": Bonfire party + electronic music, young people can dance, parents can watch intangible cultural heritage performances (Nuo opera face-changing is spectacular). · 21:00 Zuixian Street: Shop lights + lantern strings form a starry river. Use lanterns to light portraits, the atmosphere is amazing. Day 2: Morning mist + slow stroll, unlock hidden experiences · 7:00 Mingchan Alley + Yanpu Old Street: Go before the morning mist dissipates! Blue stone paths with red lanterns, shoot from low angles for depth, the empty shots are breathtakingly beautiful. · 9:00 Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlook the entire valley, including hanging buildings, waterfalls, and terraced fields, like a god’s view of an immortal town. · 11:00 Workshop Street interaction: Play pitch-pot and riddles with NPCs with kids to earn silver tickets, redeemable for small bookmarks; parents can watch intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving (try making a small basket). · 13:00 Before departure: Sit by the triple waterfall again, watch sunlight pierce through the morning mist, every shot is a healing wallpaper. ✨ Thoughtful Tips 1. Dress code: Wear Hanfu or new Chinese style (rentals available in the scenic area, 100 RMB/set including hairstyle); if you’re cold-sensitive, wear a thin down jacket under the Hanfu coat (Jiangxi winters are chilly in the mornings and evenings but won’t affect photos). 2. Performance schedule: "Twelve Faces of Nuo Mask" at 11:00/15:00 (at the opera stage square), "Han Wedding" at 14:30 (in front of Yang Mansion, phoenix crown and embroidered robe are very photogenic), bonfire party at 19:30 (central square), arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot. 3. Family-friendly: Steps are many but gentle, strollers can be used (some sections require lifting); hot water points are available in the scenic area for drinking anytime. The beauty of Wangxian Valley is the morning mist, the afternoon waterfalls, the night lights, and the immersive feeling of "every step a fairy tale." Tired of crowded ancient towns? This place is definitely the right choice!

On this trip to Singapore, I finally checked into the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, which so many friends have raved about! You get a panoramic view of Marina Bay—the scenery is absolutely stunning 🌃 It’s no wonder people say you’ll regret not staying here when visiting Singapore. Here is my complete guide to the experience. 📍 A prime location with a bird's-eye view The hotel is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, just a 5-minute walk from Promenade MRT Station, making travel very convenient! Famous landmarks like the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay are all within a 15-minute walk. There's a mall and food street right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient for late-night snacks ✅ 🌿 A hotel full of design and ambiance The fourth-floor lobby is a must-visit! Lush, cascading greenery paired with a mirrored pool makes every photo look like an Instagram-worthy shot. The rooms come with huge balconies. If you stay on a high floor, you can take in the views of the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and the Merlion fountain. When the light show starts at night, pour yourself a drink on the small balcony—the vibe is just perfect. 💎 A room experience full of thoughtful details TWG tea bags and a capsule coffee machine are standard in every room, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The toiletries are from a niche Australian brand with a soothing, light citrus scent. I especially love the layout with the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and corner sofa—soaking up the sun and enjoying the city view during the day, and turning it into a private viewing deck at night. It’s so comfortable I didn't want to leave! 🌊 Hidden gem photo spots · Rooftop pool: It's less crowded and the water is clean. You can capture the blue sky and Marina Bay Sands in the same frame here (I recommend coming before 10:00 AM) · Fourth-floor green corridor: The lighting is best between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for great photos · Room balcony: You can capture backlit silhouettes at sunset, and if you bring a tripod, you can even shoot time-lapse footage 🍽 Breakfast lovers, you must try this Make sure to set aside plenty of time to enjoy the semi-buffet breakfast! The made-to-order pancakes with durian sauce, Hainanese chicken rice, and Laksa are all authentic. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're dining in a garden. You must try the signature Eggs Benedict—the runny yolk is amazing 💯 📸 Nearby walking itinerary: Day 1: Hotel > Merlion Park > The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands > Night view at Gardens by the Bay Day 2: Michelin-starred food in Chinatown > Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel > Night cruise at Clarke Quay (Most of these spots are within walking distance!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1. For the deposit, credit card pre-authorization is preferred; the refund process for cash deposits is slower 2. Higher floors have better soundproofing. You can request "Marina View" when booking 3. The pool is open until 10:00 PM. Remember to bring a bathrobe for night swimming 4. Download the Grab app; it's much more cost-effective than regular taxis Overall, this place perfectly blends urban bustle with a relaxing vacation vibe. When you're tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel anytime to relax on the balcony and enjoy the view; when you head out, you can immediately experience the excitement of the city. In my opinion, it's a hotel in Singapore that is well worth staying at ✨

🤍Due to work, I've been to Masai Mara many times and stayed in many different hotels. The hotel our team stayed at this Chinese New Year truly surprised me. We stayed at Jirok Lodge, part of MGM. This hotel is basically in the core area of Masai Mara National Park. You can see hippos, elephants, and giraffes leisurely strolling in the National Park without even leaving the hotel. The hotel also has a dedicated bar for viewing hippos and a platform for observing animals, offering an excellent experience. 🤍Every day, there are many Maasai women selling their handicrafts at the hotel, and you can bargain. My guest bought a medium-sized giraffe wood carving for 7 USD, which was quite a good deal. On clear nights, you can look up from your room and see a sky full of romantic stars, accompanied by the sounds of hippos – a truly magical feeling. The hotel's dining is also good, with many dishes suitable for Chinese tastes. The omelet chef even speaks excellent Chinese. The experience was absolutely fantastic. 🤍Usually, hotels in Masai Mara have restrictions on hot water for showering and electricity usage times. However, during the Chinese New Year, this hotel had no time limit for hot water showers. Electricity was only completely off from 1:30 AM to 3:00 AM, which actually didn't affect our electricity use at all. This was great. ▫️Note: 🦛: Hippos may come ashore at night to graze on the hotel lawn, so staff assistance is required to return to your room. Do not open your door and go out by yourself at night. 🐒: There are also many vervet monkeys and baboons in the hotel, which might be jumping around on your roof at night. ☕️: Afternoon tea is served at the hotel from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. 🍹: The Hippo View Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. You can go in and take photos even if you don't buy drinks. The small blackboard at the bar will list which animals have passed by that day. Sometimes there are Maasai welcome ceremonies in the evening. 🤍In Masai Mara, I currently think the scenery and the stay experience here are the best.

My stay at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly agree with its place among the Top 10 Cultural Hotels in Singapore. I rated it a perfect 5 in both cultural and premium categories—it’s a hotel that truly lives up to both themes. The moment you step into the hotel, you’re greeted by its beautiful classical and historical architecture, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. I was especially impressed by the grandeur of the building, which I believe everyone visiting Singapore should take the time to experience. Every detail of the hotel surpasses expectations: from its luxurious 5-star environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. The hotel perfectly matches its reputation for prestige and luxury, making every guest feel special. For the best experience, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby vibrant bar and restaurant scene at Boat Quay—just a short 5-minute stroll from the hotel. The area comes alive at night, and if you walk a bit further, you’ll reach Clarke Quay, another hotspot for nightlife and riverside dining. Some practical tips for your stay: · Take time to appreciate the hotel’s unique historical ambiance—there are countless photo spots around. · Check out the bars and restaurants at Boat Quay, open until late for a taste of Singapore’s nightlife. · Prepare for some walking to fully enjoy the surrounding area. I would enthusiastically recommend The Fullerton Hotel Singapore to friends based on my memorable and delightful experience. This hotel not only holds a prestigious position on the Trip.com list, but after my stay, I trust the listing more than ever. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for luxury, The Fullerton is a must-visit in Singapore. #tripbest #tripbest _reviewer

Last year, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore for the F1 Grand Prix. 🇸🇬 I expected the track to be the highlight of my weekend, but once I checked in, I found it hard to step away from the room. 😂 The star of the show? That iconic octagonal window bathtub. Soaking in the tub during the day while overlooking the Singapore skyline, with sunlight streaming into the bathroom, really makes you feel like you're on a true vacation rather than just rushing through an itinerary. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring massive windows, a separate living area, and a workspace. It’s not that trendy, flashy "influencer" style, but rather a quiet, sophisticated sense of old-school luxury. The little details truly elevated the stay: 🛁 Iconic octagonal window bathtub 🧴 Diptyque Philosykos amenities ☕ Nespresso machine 🥃 In-room Honor Bar 🌆 Unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline But the real magic was the F1 atmosphere. Marina Bay is buzzing with racing energy all day, and by night, it transforms into an entirely different world. After the race, coming back to the hotel and shutting out the noise to soak in the tub while watching the city lights... That’s when it hit me— Some hotels aren't just a place to sleep; they become a core part of your travel memories. If I come back for the Singapore F1, this place will definitely be at the top of my list. 🏎️✨ 📍The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore 📍Marina Bay, Singapore

Day 1 Head straight to Baihua Island in the morning, where the tulips are blooming wildly (mid-February to March). Reds, yellows, pinks—it's truly stunning, like stepping into an oil painting. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 📸. For lunch, dine at Lewen Courtyard inside the scenic area. The Jianghu cuisine tastes authentic. Be sure to book a lake-view room in advance! Opening the window reveals the lake and mountain scenery—absolutely breathtaking ✨. In the afternoon, try jet skiing at the Water Sports Center (60 RMB/person). Racing across the lake is exhilarating, the wind blowing your hair wildly but feeling so joyful! Then take a short cruise on a traditional Chinese painting boat, 50 RMB/person. At dusk, go to the Lakeside Starry Sky Camping Base to gather around the fire and brew tea, roasting sweet potatoes and oranges while watching the sunset. It’s incredibly relaxing. Stay overnight at the Hilton Hampton by the lake. The suite is amazing 🌅—lie in bed watching the sunrise, the balcony is like a landscape painting. The room is spacious and spotless, with a bathtub for soaking, and you can even see stars reflected on the lake surface. So healing ✨. Day 2 After waking up and having breakfast, take a ride on the aerial helium balloon. Seeing the huge “Shou” (Longevity) character island from above is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless. Before checking out at noon, take another stroll by the lake, then leisurely head home. 💡 A few tips: · It’s windy by the lake at night, bring warm clothes if camping overnight. · Jet skiing and helium balloon rides depend on the weather, check the forecast before heading out. · Parking is only 6 RMB per day, unbelievably cheap. · Water activities have age restrictions; if bringing elderly or children, inquire carefully.

Guizhou truly is a place that never fails to surprise. I checked in at the Wang Yibo-inspired Shierbeihou Scenic Area with my bestie and was absolutely amazed—this trip was totally worth it! We specially went to check out the room where Wang Yibo stayed. I have to say, he really knows how to pick a spot! This place is far from your typical trendy attraction. The moment you step inside, it feels like entering an underground palace from a novel—magical and breathtaking. Visiting during the Spring Festival added a festive vibe. In the Year of the Horse, we took horse photos and soaked up the good luck vibes with my bestie, the atmosphere was perfect. Our friends all praised us for finding such a great spot✌️. Choosing this place for a trip with my bestie was absolutely the right call: ✅ The check-in points are all close by, so you can stroll around easily without tiring your legs. Walking and snapping photos with my bestie was super relaxing. ✅ You get to enjoy stunning natural scenery and experience unique cave landscapes—new and fun, unlocking a different kind of travel experience. ✅ Every snap is a masterpiece—stalactites, cliffs, valleys, every spot is a gorgeous backdrop. We couldn’t stop taking bestie photos. 🕳️ Sharing our 2-day, 1-night “Year of the Horse Journey to the Earth’s Core” with my bestie 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏: Exploring the Earth’s Core · Relaxing by the Cliff We arrived at the scenic area at noon and kicked off our joyful journey: · 1️⃣ First stop: Shuanghe Cave Exploration Inside the cave feels like a vast underground kingdom. Dark rivers rush through, stalactites grow wildly like a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow makes every step feel like walking on an unknown planet. The mystery was full-on, and holding hands with my bestie while exploring felt amazing. · 2️⃣ Second stop: Cliffside Coffee & Gypsum Cave My bestie and I felt like heroes scaling walls, sipping coffee on a wooden platform on a vertical cliff, with a deep abyss beneath us. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had to take a commemorative photo together. Next, we checked out the Gypsum Cave. Stepping inside felt like entering the palace from Frozen. The crystal-clear stalactites were stunning, especially the “Mirage” pool, whose reflection was unreal. We took amazing photos here with my bestie. · 🏠 Overnight stay: Shuanghe Guesthouse We stayed at Shuanghe Guesthouse nestled in the valley. Opening the window, we heard the babbling water and forest breeze—the atmosphere was perfect. Photos 2 and 4 show the room Wang Yibo stayed in, a must-visit for fangirls😎. 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Conquering the Cliff The Milky Way Cave via ferrata is a must-try! Hanging on a natural cliff hundreds of meters high, the visual impact was incredible—so cool! The via ferrata is a super safe iron cable climbing activity, with safety fully guaranteed. There are two routes: easy and slightly challenging. My bestie and I took on the challenge together—thrilling and fun. We even met some elementary school students on a study tour and “scaled walls” with them. The vibe was fantastic, and the trip was full of joy. ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience, a must-read for trips with your bestie: · Windproof jackets + non-slip shoes are lifesavers. It’s cold inside the caves and by the cliffs, so be sure to wear them. · The dark river section is quite dark, making phone photography difficult. Bring a small flashlight or camping lantern for easier photos and walking. · It’s best to have a phone lanyard so your phone can hang on you safely and conveniently when taking photos on the cliff📷. · For those not driving, there are direct shuttle buses from Zunyi High-Speed Rail Station/Airport to the scenic area. Check the schedule in advance for a hassle-free trip with your bestie. · If driving, just navigate to Shierbeihou Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area for a smooth ride.

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

Today, I've got some great perks to share! For those holding a JCB credit card, you can enter airport lounges in Singapore completely for free. This is a special privilege provided by the card, which grants access to many locations worldwide. If you have a layover or are flying out of Singapore, I highly recommend the SATS Premier Lounge at Changi Airport. ✈️✨ The lounge has a wonderful atmosphere and is very comfortable, with multiple seating zones and a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from—including hot meals, snacks, desserts, and various beverages. Wi-Fi and showers are also available, making it the perfect place to rest before your flight, especially for late-night departures as it's open 24 hours. 📍 It's available at Terminals 1, 2, and 3 after immigration. I recommend setting aside 1–2 hours so you can eat, relax, and charge your batteries comfortably.

🚗 Just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and stay in a secret spot embraced by mountains and lawns. This Green Wild Star in Pengzhou completely shattered my stereotypes about tent accommodations. It’s not at all like rough outdoor camping. Each room has a private terrace, full smart home features, separate wet and dry bathrooms, underfloor heating—everything you need. It’s as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, with no worries about dampness or cold. You can freely run around the 60,000-square-meter lawn. The park also has adorable alpacas and sika deer that you can feed up close, perfect for families with kids or pets. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace under the sun, surrounded by the fresh scent of grass and trees. At night, it’s even more amazing—no city light pollution, just a sky full of stars. Wrapped in a blanket, chatting with friends over barbecue, all your fatigue melts away. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Sun Bay and Huilonggou, convenient for weekend hiking and playing in the snow. For sisters wanting to escape and relax, this place is a must-go.

#singaporehotel The taxi pulled off Farrer Park Road and my wife pressed her hand against the window like a person who has spotted something worth paying attention to. She has good instincts, my wife. Better than mine, if I am being honest, which after fifteen years of marriage I have learned to be. One Farrer Hotel rose before us — modern, assured, and possessed of that particular architectural confidence that comes not from size but from precision. I noted the clean lines, the careful landscaping, the way the entrance seemed to draw you forward rather than simply permit your arrival. Inside, the air conditioning hit us with the immediate, merciful efficiency of a well-run operation. The lobby was not cavernous in the manner of hotels that mistake scale for sophistication. It was considered — every surface, every angle, every arrangement of light suggesting that someone with genuine taste had made a series of deliberate decisions and stood behind each one without apology. My wife straightened slightly, the way she does when a place has earned her respect. The room rewarded closer inspection, which is always the true test. A lesser hotel flatters at first glance and disappoints upon examination. One Farrer invited scrutiny and emerged from it intact. The bed was wide and firm. The bathroom gleamed with the honesty of surfaces that are actually clean rather than merely appearing so. From our window, the city presented itself in a register that was neither overwhelming nor indifferent — Singapore going about its considerable business, indifferent to our admiration. Wildseed, the rooftop bar and restaurant, was where the evening assumed a character of its own. We sat beneath open sky as the city cooled around us, the lights below multiplying in the dusk like intelligence gathering in a darkened room. My wife ordered something with lychee and looked at me over her glass with an expression I have spent two decades learning to read correctly. It meant: *this was a good idea.* I did not say I told you so. I have also learned that. The breakfast the following morning was a precise and generous affair — the kind of spread that respects the intelligence of its guests by offering quality rather than mere quantity. My wife returned twice for the eggs. I noted this without comment. Some observations are better kept as private victories. One Farrer Hotel is not trying to be the grandest address in Singapore. It understands something more useful — that comfort executed with intelligence and consistency is its own form of excellence, and that guests who notice quality will find it here in reliable, satisfying abundance. We noticed. We were grateful. P/s A husband's honest account.

The Edition Singapore When you come to Singapore, don’t just focus on Marina Bay Sands. This hidden gem in the Orchard Road shopping district, The Edition, is a secret favorite among savvy travelers. 📍Perfect Location The hotel is right on Orchard Boulevard, just a 5-minute walk to ION Orchard shopping mall, and downstairs is Singapore’s busiest shopping street. It’s a 15-minute taxi ride to Gardens by the Bay, about 25 minutes to Changi Airport, and a 10-minute walk to Orchard MRT station. Everything you need for dining, shopping, and entertainment is nearby, including Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Jumbo Seafood. 🛏️How to Choose Your Room The standard rooms start at 38 square meters, which is quite spacious for Singapore. I recommend upgrading to a deluxe room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline—watching the night view is very soothing. If your budget allows, go for a suite with separate living and bedroom areas and a bathroom with a standalone bathtub, perfect for photos. Be sure to book early on Trip.com, as weekends often sell out. 💰Money-Saving Tips Avoid the F1 season and Christmas-New Year period to save about a third on room rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually offer the best prices, and discounts often apply for stays longer than two nights. The hotel’s pool and gym are free for guests, so no extra charges there. ✨Why It’s Worth Staying Here The design is top-notch. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the exterior looks like a vertical garden. The lobby’s high ceilings and green walls create a strong vacation vibe as soon as you enter. The rooms feature The Edition’s signature natural wood and linen style—no flashy gimmicks, just understated luxury that quietly says, “I’m expensive but I don’t brag.” The rooftop pool is a hidden gem. The infinity pool faces the cityscape, and soaking there at dusk while watching Orchard Road’s neon lights come on is much more relaxing than the crowded Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. There’s a bar by the pool where you can order a Singapore Sling—this is the right way to enjoy a holiday. Don’t sleep in on breakfast. The semi-buffet style includes must-try Eggs Benedict and Laksa, freshly made and served hot, far better than cold buffet counters. The restaurant has great natural light, and sitting by the window in the morning to eat slowly is truly healing. The service details are very touching. Handmade chocolates are given at check-in, turndown service arranges slippers neatly and adjusts curtains to just the right light level—these small touches are well done. The front desk offers Chinese service, so no worries if your English isn’t strong. This hotel isn’t as flashy as Marina Bay Sands, but those who have stayed here know how good it is. It’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, quality holiday experience. Next time you visit Singapore, give it a chance.

If you only have one day in Singapore, don’t worry, this city is made for quick stopovers! Efficient transport, compact attractions, and sooo many things to see & eat 🤩. Here’s how to make the most of 24 hours in the Lion City 🦁: 🌅 Morning vibes at Marina Bay Sands & Merlion Kick off your adventure at the iconic Marina Bay Sands 🏙️. The futuristic architecture will blow your mind, and the views of the bay are just chef’s kiss 👌. Stroll along the waterfront until you reach the Merlion: half lion 🦁, half fish 🐟, and 100% Singapore. It’s the ultimate photo spot 📸, with skyscrapers behind you and the sea breeze in your face. 🏮 Midday stroll in Chinatown Next stop: Chinatown! This neighborhood is a burst of colors 🎨, smells 🍜, and traditions 🙏. ✨ Don’t miss: · The stunning Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (yes, it really houses a sacred relic 🛕). · Wandering through the shophouses with their bright facades 🏠. · Picking up a quirky souvenir or two 🛍️. It’s the perfect place to soak in some culture before diving back into the modern side of the city. 🍴 Lunchtime at Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre Head to Lau Pa Sat, a historic hawker centre right in the business district, where you’ll find endless food stalls offering everything from: 🍗 Hainanese chicken rice (national dish!) 🥢 Satay skewers sizzling on the grill 🍜 Laksa, a spicy noodle soup that will warm your soul 🌆 Sunset & Spectra Light Show at Marina Bay As evening falls, circle back to Marina Bay. When the lights come on, the city turns into a futuristic wonderland 🌌. At 8 pm (and again at 9 pm), catch the Spectra Light & Water Show: a dazzling performance of fountains, lasers, and music 💦🎶. Sit by the promenade, watch the skyline sparkle ✨, and let the show wow you. It’s one of those “only in Singapore” moments you’ll never forget. 🌙 Bonus: A Glimpse of Gardens by the Bay And just when you think your day is over… nope 😉. Right behind Marina Bay Sands is Gardens by the Bay, home to the futuristic Supertree Grove 🌳🌳. But hold that thought, this deserves its own post (coming next 👀). #hellohalloween #marinabaysands #singapore #1dayinsingapore

For my recent trip to Singapore, I chose the Mercure Singapore Bugis (Waterloo Street) as my home base. The biggest draw was definitely the location—it's incredibly convenient. Both Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are just a few minutes away on foot, making it a breeze to head over to Orchard Road for some shopping or to Marina Bay for a night out. Plus, there are hawker centers and two major malls right nearby, so grabbing authentic local eats or picking up souvenirs is totally hassle-free. The hotel is centrally located at 78 Waterloo Street. It’s nestled between two MRT stations in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for a late-night stroll. You can easily walk to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park. If you're not in the mood for a long walk, popular breakfast spots like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are just around the corner, offering everything from classic Singaporean breakfasts to local fusion dishes. Getting to the heart of the matter—while the room isn’t the largest, the design is compact and modern. It’s genuinely clean and cozy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of morning sunlight, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a city view to start the day. The amenities are surprisingly complete; they’ve got all sorts of charging ports (Type-C and USB included) and even a filtered water system, so you don't have to keep buying bottled water. A real standout feature is the in-room computer equipped with YouTube and Netflix—you’ll never be bored even if you decide to stay in for the night. On the second floor, there’s a gym and a swimming pool, ideal for a morning workout or a relaxing evening dip. The self-service check-in and check-out process is quick and easy, and most of the front desk staff are bilingual in Mandarin and English, making communication effortless. Any issues are resolved almost instantly. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I’d recommend it to both leisure and business travelers, especially those who value transit convenience and comfort. Staying in this area means you can get anywhere within 15 minutes!

If you're visiting Singapore and love baked goods, Tiong Bahru Bakery is an absolute must-visit. Long celebrated for its freshly baked croissants and French-style pastries, the bakery offers signature treats like the classic Croissant, Kouign-Amann, Pain au Chocolat, and a variety of filled croissants. They perfectly nail that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture, paired with the rich aroma of premium butter. Beyond their pastries, the cafe serves up great coffee and a diverse brunch menu, making it the perfect spot to kick off your day or take a breather while exploring. With its cozy, laid-back vibe and multiple locations across the city, it's no wonder this spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Gentle river breeze, lush green forest, a secluded mountain Seize the moment of greenery, step into the forest valley There are books for the learned, readings for the common folk, and journeys for the world One of the last forgotten ancient villages on the banks of the Jialing River The Chongqing version of the Wizard of Oz This place feels like a fairy tale world forgotten by time The city's busy people are deeply enchanted by it Suffering and joy intertwined from top to bottom Though not in hell, the eyes are in heaven A thousand-layered stairway to the sky, the immortal has gone but people linger Yes, just left, already turning back to miss this fairy tale Historical context of Jingangbei Ancient Village 1. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty: due to coal mining in Jinyun Mountain, it became an important coal transport dock on the Jialing River, bustling with merchants, inns, and teahouses; 2. During the War of Resistance: it became a refuge capital, where hundreds of cultural celebrities like Lao She, Liang Shuming, and Liang Shiqiu lived; Lao She completed "Four Generations Under One Roof" in the "Mouse House," and institutions like the Central Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute and Mianren Academy were established here; 3. Modern times: coal transport declined and the village gradually quieted; in 2018, a "acupuncture-style" micro-renovation began, and after restoration in 2021, the street reopened to the public for free. 🌲 Buildings are built along the mountain, with winding old streets paved with bluestone slabs, preserving many wooden blue-tile houses from the Qing to the Republic of China era (such as the Yao Family Courtyard and the Xiong Family Courtyard); the forest coverage is very high, streams run through the village, and hot spring resources sharing the same source as Beiwengquan, combined with the Jialing River trail, earning it the nickname "Chongqing's Wizard of Oz." There is a large parking lot near the entrance, making self-driving very convenient. The entire area is located in the Jinyun Mountain Hot Spring area, with many hot springs in and around the village, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind, a natural oxygen bar. P.S. The background in the first picture had a cement monument of Jingangbei Wizard of Oz, which I photoshopped out because it felt out of place—there really is a cement inscription monument on site.

🛫 China Southern Airlines operates year-round direct flights from Guangzhou to Adelaide; Cathay Pacific has resumed seasonal direct flights from Hong Kong to Adelaide; China Eastern Airlines will launch direct flights from Shanghai to Adelaide on June 20. If you want to explore Kangaroo Island, choosing a two-day or longer in-depth trip with an overnight stay or more is better than a one-day tour to truly savor the island's charm. Today, we have gathered three unique hidden gem accommodations on the island, so there’s sure to be one that meets all your expectations for Kangaroo Island! 🗺️ There are two ways to get to Kangaroo Island ✈️ From Adelaide Airport to Kingscote Airport on Kangaroo Island, the flight takes about 30 minutes. ⛴️ From Cape Jervis, you can take the SeaLink ferry to Kangaroo Island, which takes about 45 minutes. (You can buy a ferry ticket for your car to bring it on board, or rent a car after arriving on the island.) CABN X Kangaroo Island: Whispering with Nature by the Coast If Kangaroo Island has a model for “making home in the scenery,” it must be CABN’s five eco-cabins. The luxury here is never ostentatious: outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight filters through the leaves casting moving patterns on the floor, instantly soothing travel fatigue; inside, the rooms feature king-size beds with comfortable mattresses and cloud-like bedding, healing all weariness from the journey. Southern Ocean Lodge: On the Cliff’s Edge, Touching the Pulse of the Southern Ocean Southern Ocean Lodge is located at Hanson Bay, nestled between mountain and sea, with every room offering stunning views of the national park. With only 25 rooms, the design ensures guests cannot see each other, allowing for a true sense of ownership and immersion in nature—a genuine ocean-view utopia. Seafront Holiday Park: Happy Family Time by the Sea The choices here are dazzling: want to experience refined camping? Six eco-luxury tents hidden in eucalyptus trees offer shimmering views of Hog Bay when you pull back the curtains; traveling with kids? Two eco-family tents are spacious and truly family-friendly; if you prefer comfort, two sea-view villas are excellent options, featuring open kitchens, private terraces with BBQ grills, and an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Dear friends! Forget the crowded Jingdezhen~ Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi is the true secret realm of immortals! Buildings perched on cliffs, waterfalls forming rivers, and at night the lights shine like the immortal stage from "Cang Lan Jue." With direct high-speed rail access and featured in National Geographic, this 2-day 1-night guide will help you unlock this breathtaking experience~ 🚗 How to get there? The transportation guide is super simple · High-speed rail: Direct trains to "Shangrao Station" from various places. After exiting, take the scenic area shuttle bus (30 RMB/person, 1 hour to the visitor center), frequent departures so no waiting. · Self-driving/taxi: Taxi from Shangrao Station costs about 150 RMB, suitable for groups (can carry luggage + costume props), navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." · Inside the scenic area: Walk! Many steps but not steep, just wear comfortable shoes. The scenery along the way makes walking and taking photos enjoyable. 🏡 Staying overnight is the right way to experience it You must stay inside the scenic area! Tickets are valid for 2 days, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone in the early morning and at night: · Wangxian Valley homestay cluster: Choose the "Cliff Homestay" (open the window to waterfalls + hanging buildings, fall asleep to the sound of water at night); for families with kids, choose "Workshop Street Homestay" (close to the snack street, convenient for buying treats). · Hidden perk: Guests can use a special homestay passage to avoid the main entrance crowds. At 6 AM, go to Mingchan Alley to shoot the morning mist, feeling like stepping into an empty immortal world. 📸 2-day 1-night itinerary + photo spots Day 1: Explore the valley by day, chase the lights by night · 10:00 Qingyun Bridge: Stand in the middle of the covered bridge to shoot the triple waterfall from above. Use slow shutter to make the water silky; when sunny, you can see a rainbow. · 11:30 Baiwei Street: Eat Jiangxi rice noodles (non-spicy version available), Dengzhan cake, buy osmanthus cake for kids, and parents try fermented glutinous rice balls. · 14:00 Baige Bridge: Capture the panoramic view of the cliff hanging buildings. Wear ancient costumes and stand in the middle of the bridge with green mountains and waterfalls behind you for a full martial arts vibe. · 16:00 Lanyue Bridge: Secure your spot before the blue hour! When red lanterns light up, the bridge and its reflection form a circle, resembling the Siming Palace in "Cang Lan Jue." · 19:30 "Wangxian Burning Dream": Bonfire party + electronic music, young people can dance, parents can watch intangible cultural heritage performances (Nuo opera face-changing is spectacular). · 21:00 Zuixian Street: Shop lights + lantern strings form a starry river. Use lanterns to light portraits, the atmosphere is amazing. Day 2: Morning mist + slow stroll, unlock hidden experiences · 7:00 Mingchan Alley + Yanpu Old Street: Go before the morning mist dissipates! Blue stone paths with red lanterns, shoot from low angles for depth, the empty shots are breathtakingly beautiful. · 9:00 Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlook the entire valley, including hanging buildings, waterfalls, and terraced fields, like a god’s view of an immortal town. · 11:00 Workshop Street interaction: Play pitch-pot and riddles with NPCs with kids to earn silver tickets, redeemable for small bookmarks; parents can watch intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving (try making a small basket). · 13:00 Before departure: Sit by the triple waterfall again, watch sunlight pierce through the morning mist, every shot is a healing wallpaper. ✨ Thoughtful Tips 1. Dress code: Wear Hanfu or new Chinese style (rentals available in the scenic area, 100 RMB/set including hairstyle); if you’re cold-sensitive, wear a thin down jacket under the Hanfu coat (Jiangxi winters are chilly in the mornings and evenings but won’t affect photos). 2. Performance schedule: "Twelve Faces of Nuo Mask" at 11:00/15:00 (at the opera stage square), "Han Wedding" at 14:30 (in front of Yang Mansion, phoenix crown and embroidered robe are very photogenic), bonfire party at 19:30 (central square), arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot. 3. Family-friendly: Steps are many but gentle, strollers can be used (some sections require lifting); hot water points are available in the scenic area for drinking anytime. The beauty of Wangxian Valley is the morning mist, the afternoon waterfalls, the night lights, and the immersive feeling of "every step a fairy tale." Tired of crowded ancient towns? This place is definitely the right choice!

On this trip to Singapore, I finally checked into the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, which so many friends have raved about! You get a panoramic view of Marina Bay—the scenery is absolutely stunning 🌃 It’s no wonder people say you’ll regret not staying here when visiting Singapore. Here is my complete guide to the experience. 📍 A prime location with a bird's-eye view The hotel is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, just a 5-minute walk from Promenade MRT Station, making travel very convenient! Famous landmarks like the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay are all within a 15-minute walk. There's a mall and food street right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient for late-night snacks ✅ 🌿 A hotel full of design and ambiance The fourth-floor lobby is a must-visit! Lush, cascading greenery paired with a mirrored pool makes every photo look like an Instagram-worthy shot. The rooms come with huge balconies. If you stay on a high floor, you can take in the views of the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and the Merlion fountain. When the light show starts at night, pour yourself a drink on the small balcony—the vibe is just perfect. 💎 A room experience full of thoughtful details TWG tea bags and a capsule coffee machine are standard in every room, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The toiletries are from a niche Australian brand with a soothing, light citrus scent. I especially love the layout with the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and corner sofa—soaking up the sun and enjoying the city view during the day, and turning it into a private viewing deck at night. It’s so comfortable I didn't want to leave! 🌊 Hidden gem photo spots · Rooftop pool: It's less crowded and the water is clean. You can capture the blue sky and Marina Bay Sands in the same frame here (I recommend coming before 10:00 AM) · Fourth-floor green corridor: The lighting is best between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for great photos · Room balcony: You can capture backlit silhouettes at sunset, and if you bring a tripod, you can even shoot time-lapse footage 🍽 Breakfast lovers, you must try this Make sure to set aside plenty of time to enjoy the semi-buffet breakfast! The made-to-order pancakes with durian sauce, Hainanese chicken rice, and Laksa are all authentic. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're dining in a garden. You must try the signature Eggs Benedict—the runny yolk is amazing 💯 📸 Nearby walking itinerary: Day 1: Hotel > Merlion Park > The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands > Night view at Gardens by the Bay Day 2: Michelin-starred food in Chinatown > Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel > Night cruise at Clarke Quay (Most of these spots are within walking distance!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1. For the deposit, credit card pre-authorization is preferred; the refund process for cash deposits is slower 2. Higher floors have better soundproofing. You can request "Marina View" when booking 3. The pool is open until 10:00 PM. Remember to bring a bathrobe for night swimming 4. Download the Grab app; it's much more cost-effective than regular taxis Overall, this place perfectly blends urban bustle with a relaxing vacation vibe. When you're tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel anytime to relax on the balcony and enjoy the view; when you head out, you can immediately experience the excitement of the city. In my opinion, it's a hotel in Singapore that is well worth staying at ✨

🤍Due to work, I've been to Masai Mara many times and stayed in many different hotels. The hotel our team stayed at this Chinese New Year truly surprised me. We stayed at Jirok Lodge, part of MGM. This hotel is basically in the core area of Masai Mara National Park. You can see hippos, elephants, and giraffes leisurely strolling in the National Park without even leaving the hotel. The hotel also has a dedicated bar for viewing hippos and a platform for observing animals, offering an excellent experience. 🤍Every day, there are many Maasai women selling their handicrafts at the hotel, and you can bargain. My guest bought a medium-sized giraffe wood carving for 7 USD, which was quite a good deal. On clear nights, you can look up from your room and see a sky full of romantic stars, accompanied by the sounds of hippos – a truly magical feeling. The hotel's dining is also good, with many dishes suitable for Chinese tastes. The omelet chef even speaks excellent Chinese. The experience was absolutely fantastic. 🤍Usually, hotels in Masai Mara have restrictions on hot water for showering and electricity usage times. However, during the Chinese New Year, this hotel had no time limit for hot water showers. Electricity was only completely off from 1:30 AM to 3:00 AM, which actually didn't affect our electricity use at all. This was great. ▫️Note: 🦛: Hippos may come ashore at night to graze on the hotel lawn, so staff assistance is required to return to your room. Do not open your door and go out by yourself at night. 🐒: There are also many vervet monkeys and baboons in the hotel, which might be jumping around on your roof at night. ☕️: Afternoon tea is served at the hotel from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. 🍹: The Hippo View Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. You can go in and take photos even if you don't buy drinks. The small blackboard at the bar will list which animals have passed by that day. Sometimes there are Maasai welcome ceremonies in the evening. 🤍In Masai Mara, I currently think the scenery and the stay experience here are the best.

My stay at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly agree with its place among the Top 10 Cultural Hotels in Singapore. I rated it a perfect 5 in both cultural and premium categories—it’s a hotel that truly lives up to both themes. The moment you step into the hotel, you’re greeted by its beautiful classical and historical architecture, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. I was especially impressed by the grandeur of the building, which I believe everyone visiting Singapore should take the time to experience. Every detail of the hotel surpasses expectations: from its luxurious 5-star environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. The hotel perfectly matches its reputation for prestige and luxury, making every guest feel special. For the best experience, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby vibrant bar and restaurant scene at Boat Quay—just a short 5-minute stroll from the hotel. The area comes alive at night, and if you walk a bit further, you’ll reach Clarke Quay, another hotspot for nightlife and riverside dining. Some practical tips for your stay: · Take time to appreciate the hotel’s unique historical ambiance—there are countless photo spots around. · Check out the bars and restaurants at Boat Quay, open until late for a taste of Singapore’s nightlife. · Prepare for some walking to fully enjoy the surrounding area. I would enthusiastically recommend The Fullerton Hotel Singapore to friends based on my memorable and delightful experience. This hotel not only holds a prestigious position on the Trip.com list, but after my stay, I trust the listing more than ever. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for luxury, The Fullerton is a must-visit in Singapore. #tripbest #tripbest _reviewer

Last year, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore for the F1 Grand Prix. 🇸🇬 I expected the track to be the highlight of my weekend, but once I checked in, I found it hard to step away from the room. 😂 The star of the show? That iconic octagonal window bathtub. Soaking in the tub during the day while overlooking the Singapore skyline, with sunlight streaming into the bathroom, really makes you feel like you're on a true vacation rather than just rushing through an itinerary. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring massive windows, a separate living area, and a workspace. It’s not that trendy, flashy "influencer" style, but rather a quiet, sophisticated sense of old-school luxury. The little details truly elevated the stay: 🛁 Iconic octagonal window bathtub 🧴 Diptyque Philosykos amenities ☕ Nespresso machine 🥃 In-room Honor Bar 🌆 Unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline But the real magic was the F1 atmosphere. Marina Bay is buzzing with racing energy all day, and by night, it transforms into an entirely different world. After the race, coming back to the hotel and shutting out the noise to soak in the tub while watching the city lights... That’s when it hit me— Some hotels aren't just a place to sleep; they become a core part of your travel memories. If I come back for the Singapore F1, this place will definitely be at the top of my list. 🏎️✨ 📍The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore 📍Marina Bay, Singapore

Really moved to tears by the beauty of Changshou Lake! Just a 1-hour drive from the main city, no need to go to Yunnan to enjoy the same springtime romance. Day 1 Head straight to Baihua Island in the morning, where the tulips are blooming wildly (mid-February to March). Reds, yellows, pinks—it's truly stunning, like stepping into an oil painting. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 📸. For lunch, dine at Lewen Courtyard inside the scenic area. The Jianghu cuisine tastes authentic. Be sure to book a lake-view room in advance! Opening the window reveals the lake and mountain scenery—absolutely breathtaking ✨. In the afternoon, try jet skiing at the Water Sports Center (60 RMB/person). Racing across the lake is exhilarating, the wind blowing your hair wildly but feeling so joyful! Then take a short cruise on a traditional Chinese painting boat, 50 RMB/person. At dusk, go to the Lakeside Starry Sky Camping Base to gather around the fire and brew tea, roasting sweet potatoes and oranges while watching the sunset. It’s incredibly relaxing. Stay overnight at the Hilton Hampton by the lake. The suite is amazing 🌅—lie in bed watching the sunrise, the balcony is like a landscape painting. The room is spacious and spotless, with a bathtub for soaking, and you can even see stars reflected on the lake surface. So healing ✨. Day 2 After waking up and having breakfast, take a ride on the aerial helium balloon. Seeing the huge “Shou” (Longevity) character island from above is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless. Before checking out at noon, take another stroll by the lake, then leisurely head home. 💡 A few tips: · It’s windy by the lake at night, bring warm clothes if camping overnight. · Jet skiing and helium balloon rides depend on the weather, check the forecast before heading out. · Parking is only 6 RMB per day, unbelievably cheap. · Water activities have age restrictions; if bringing elderly or children, inquire carefully.

Guizhou truly is a place that never fails to surprise. I checked in at the Wang Yibo-inspired Shierbeihou Scenic Area with my bestie and was absolutely amazed—this trip was totally worth it! We specially went to check out the room where Wang Yibo stayed. I have to say, he really knows how to pick a spot! This place is far from your typical trendy attraction. The moment you step inside, it feels like entering an underground palace from a novel—magical and breathtaking. Visiting during the Spring Festival added a festive vibe. In the Year of the Horse, we took horse photos and soaked up the good luck vibes with my bestie, the atmosphere was perfect. Our friends all praised us for finding such a great spot✌️. Choosing this place for a trip with my bestie was absolutely the right call: ✅ The check-in points are all close by, so you can stroll around easily without tiring your legs. Walking and snapping photos with my bestie was super relaxing. ✅ You get to enjoy stunning natural scenery and experience unique cave landscapes—new and fun, unlocking a different kind of travel experience. ✅ Every snap is a masterpiece—stalactites, cliffs, valleys, every spot is a gorgeous backdrop. We couldn’t stop taking bestie photos. 🕳️ Sharing our 2-day, 1-night “Year of the Horse Journey to the Earth’s Core” with my bestie 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏: Exploring the Earth’s Core · Relaxing by the Cliff We arrived at the scenic area at noon and kicked off our joyful journey: · 1️⃣ First stop: Shuanghe Cave Exploration Inside the cave feels like a vast underground kingdom. Dark rivers rush through, stalactites grow wildly like a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow makes every step feel like walking on an unknown planet. The mystery was full-on, and holding hands with my bestie while exploring felt amazing. · 2️⃣ Second stop: Cliffside Coffee & Gypsum Cave My bestie and I felt like heroes scaling walls, sipping coffee on a wooden platform on a vertical cliff, with a deep abyss beneath us. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had to take a commemorative photo together. Next, we checked out the Gypsum Cave. Stepping inside felt like entering the palace from Frozen. The crystal-clear stalactites were stunning, especially the “Mirage” pool, whose reflection was unreal. We took amazing photos here with my bestie. · 🏠 Overnight stay: Shuanghe Guesthouse We stayed at Shuanghe Guesthouse nestled in the valley. Opening the window, we heard the babbling water and forest breeze—the atmosphere was perfect. Photos 2 and 4 show the room Wang Yibo stayed in, a must-visit for fangirls😎. 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Conquering the Cliff The Milky Way Cave via ferrata is a must-try! Hanging on a natural cliff hundreds of meters high, the visual impact was incredible—so cool! The via ferrata is a super safe iron cable climbing activity, with safety fully guaranteed. There are two routes: easy and slightly challenging. My bestie and I took on the challenge together—thrilling and fun. We even met some elementary school students on a study tour and “scaled walls” with them. The vibe was fantastic, and the trip was full of joy. ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience, a must-read for trips with your bestie: · Windproof jackets + non-slip shoes are lifesavers. It’s cold inside the caves and by the cliffs, so be sure to wear them. · The dark river section is quite dark, making phone photography difficult. Bring a small flashlight or camping lantern for easier photos and walking. · It’s best to have a phone lanyard so your phone can hang on you safely and conveniently when taking photos on the cliff📷. · For those not driving, there are direct shuttle buses from Zunyi High-Speed Rail Station/Airport to the scenic area. Check the schedule in advance for a hassle-free trip with your bestie. · If driving, just navigate to Shierbeihou Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area for a smooth ride.

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

Today, I've got some great perks to share! For those holding a JCB credit card, you can enter airport lounges in Singapore completely for free. This is a special privilege provided by the card, which grants access to many locations worldwide. If you have a layover or are flying out of Singapore, I highly recommend the SATS Premier Lounge at Changi Airport. ✈️✨ The lounge has a wonderful atmosphere and is very comfortable, with multiple seating zones and a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from—including hot meals, snacks, desserts, and various beverages. Wi-Fi and showers are also available, making it the perfect place to rest before your flight, especially for late-night departures as it's open 24 hours. 📍 It's available at Terminals 1, 2, and 3 after immigration. I recommend setting aside 1–2 hours so you can eat, relax, and charge your batteries comfortably.

🚗 Just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and stay in a secret spot embraced by mountains and lawns. This Green Wild Star in Pengzhou completely shattered my stereotypes about tent accommodations. It’s not at all like rough outdoor camping. Each room has a private terrace, full smart home features, separate wet and dry bathrooms, underfloor heating—everything you need. It’s as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, with no worries about dampness or cold. You can freely run around the 60,000-square-meter lawn. The park also has adorable alpacas and sika deer that you can feed up close, perfect for families with kids or pets. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace under the sun, surrounded by the fresh scent of grass and trees. At night, it’s even more amazing—no city light pollution, just a sky full of stars. Wrapped in a blanket, chatting with friends over barbecue, all your fatigue melts away. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Sun Bay and Huilonggou, convenient for weekend hiking and playing in the snow. For sisters wanting to escape and relax, this place is a must-go.

#singaporehotel The taxi pulled off Farrer Park Road and my wife pressed her hand against the window like a person who has spotted something worth paying attention to. She has good instincts, my wife. Better than mine, if I am being honest, which after fifteen years of marriage I have learned to be. One Farrer Hotel rose before us — modern, assured, and possessed of that particular architectural confidence that comes not from size but from precision. I noted the clean lines, the careful landscaping, the way the entrance seemed to draw you forward rather than simply permit your arrival. Inside, the air conditioning hit us with the immediate, merciful efficiency of a well-run operation. The lobby was not cavernous in the manner of hotels that mistake scale for sophistication. It was considered — every surface, every angle, every arrangement of light suggesting that someone with genuine taste had made a series of deliberate decisions and stood behind each one without apology. My wife straightened slightly, the way she does when a place has earned her respect. The room rewarded closer inspection, which is always the true test. A lesser hotel flatters at first glance and disappoints upon examination. One Farrer invited scrutiny and emerged from it intact. The bed was wide and firm. The bathroom gleamed with the honesty of surfaces that are actually clean rather than merely appearing so. From our window, the city presented itself in a register that was neither overwhelming nor indifferent — Singapore going about its considerable business, indifferent to our admiration. Wildseed, the rooftop bar and restaurant, was where the evening assumed a character of its own. We sat beneath open sky as the city cooled around us, the lights below multiplying in the dusk like intelligence gathering in a darkened room. My wife ordered something with lychee and looked at me over her glass with an expression I have spent two decades learning to read correctly. It meant: *this was a good idea.* I did not say I told you so. I have also learned that. The breakfast the following morning was a precise and generous affair — the kind of spread that respects the intelligence of its guests by offering quality rather than mere quantity. My wife returned twice for the eggs. I noted this without comment. Some observations are better kept as private victories. One Farrer Hotel is not trying to be the grandest address in Singapore. It understands something more useful — that comfort executed with intelligence and consistency is its own form of excellence, and that guests who notice quality will find it here in reliable, satisfying abundance. We noticed. We were grateful. P/s A husband's honest account.

The Edition Singapore When you come to Singapore, don’t just focus on Marina Bay Sands. This hidden gem in the Orchard Road shopping district, The Edition, is a secret favorite among savvy travelers. 📍Perfect Location The hotel is right on Orchard Boulevard, just a 5-minute walk to ION Orchard shopping mall, and downstairs is Singapore’s busiest shopping street. It’s a 15-minute taxi ride to Gardens by the Bay, about 25 minutes to Changi Airport, and a 10-minute walk to Orchard MRT station. Everything you need for dining, shopping, and entertainment is nearby, including Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Jumbo Seafood. 🛏️How to Choose Your Room The standard rooms start at 38 square meters, which is quite spacious for Singapore. I recommend upgrading to a deluxe room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline—watching the night view is very soothing. If your budget allows, go for a suite with separate living and bedroom areas and a bathroom with a standalone bathtub, perfect for photos. Be sure to book early on Trip.com, as weekends often sell out. 💰Money-Saving Tips Avoid the F1 season and Christmas-New Year period to save about a third on room rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually offer the best prices, and discounts often apply for stays longer than two nights. The hotel’s pool and gym are free for guests, so no extra charges there. ✨Why It’s Worth Staying Here The design is top-notch. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the exterior looks like a vertical garden. The lobby’s high ceilings and green walls create a strong vacation vibe as soon as you enter. The rooms feature The Edition’s signature natural wood and linen style—no flashy gimmicks, just understated luxury that quietly says, “I’m expensive but I don’t brag.” The rooftop pool is a hidden gem. The infinity pool faces the cityscape, and soaking there at dusk while watching Orchard Road’s neon lights come on is much more relaxing than the crowded Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. There’s a bar by the pool where you can order a Singapore Sling—this is the right way to enjoy a holiday. Don’t sleep in on breakfast. The semi-buffet style includes must-try Eggs Benedict and Laksa, freshly made and served hot, far better than cold buffet counters. The restaurant has great natural light, and sitting by the window in the morning to eat slowly is truly healing. The service details are very touching. Handmade chocolates are given at check-in, turndown service arranges slippers neatly and adjusts curtains to just the right light level—these small touches are well done. The front desk offers Chinese service, so no worries if your English isn’t strong. This hotel isn’t as flashy as Marina Bay Sands, but those who have stayed here know how good it is. It’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, quality holiday experience. Next time you visit Singapore, give it a chance.

Right behind Marina Bay Sands is Gardens by the Bay, home to the futuristic Supertree Grove 🌳🌳. But hold that thought, this deserves its own post (coming next 👀). #hellohalloween #marinabaysands #singapore #1dayinsingapore

For my recent trip to Singapore, I chose the Mercure Singapore Bugis (Waterloo Street) as my home base. The biggest draw was definitely the location—it's incredibly convenient. Both Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are just a few minutes away on foot, making it a breeze to head over to Orchard Road for some shopping or to Marina Bay for a night out. Plus, there are hawker centers and two major malls right nearby, so grabbing authentic local eats or picking up souvenirs is totally hassle-free. The hotel is centrally located at 78 Waterloo Street. It’s nestled between two MRT stations in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for a late-night stroll. You can easily walk to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park. If you're not in the mood for a long walk, popular breakfast spots like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are just around the corner, offering everything from classic Singaporean breakfasts to local fusion dishes. Getting to the heart of the matter—while the room isn’t the largest, the design is compact and modern. It’s genuinely clean and cozy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of morning sunlight, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a city view to start the day. The amenities are surprisingly complete; they’ve got all sorts of charging ports (Type-C and USB included) and even a filtered water system, so you don't have to keep buying bottled water. A real standout feature is the in-room computer equipped with YouTube and Netflix—you’ll never be bored even if you decide to stay in for the night. On the second floor, there’s a gym and a swimming pool, ideal for a morning workout or a relaxing evening dip. The self-service check-in and check-out process is quick and easy, and most of the front desk staff are bilingual in Mandarin and English, making communication effortless. Any issues are resolved almost instantly. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I’d recommend it to both leisure and business travelers, especially those who value transit convenience and comfort. Staying in this area means you can get anywhere within 15 minutes!

If you're visiting Singapore and love baked goods, Tiong Bahru Bakery is an absolute must-visit. Long celebrated for its freshly baked croissants and French-style pastries, the bakery offers signature treats like the classic Croissant, Kouign-Amann, Pain au Chocolat, and a variety of filled croissants. They perfectly nail that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture, paired with the rich aroma of premium butter. Beyond their pastries, the cafe serves up great coffee and a diverse brunch menu, making it the perfect spot to kick off your day or take a breather while exploring. With its cozy, laid-back vibe and multiple locations across the city, it's no wonder this spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Gentle river breeze, lush green forest, a secluded mountain Seize the moment of greenery, step into the forest valley There are books for the learned, readings for the common folk, and journeys for the world One of the last forgotten ancient villages on the banks of the Jialing River The Chongqing version of the Wizard of Oz This place feels like a fairy tale world forgotten by time The city's busy people are deeply enchanted by it Suffering and joy intertwined from top to bottom Though not in hell, the eyes are in heaven A thousand-layered stairway to the sky, the immortal has gone but people linger Yes, just left, already turning back to miss this fairy tale Historical context of Jingangbei Ancient Village 1. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty: due to coal mining in Jinyun Mountain, it became an important coal transport dock on the Jialing River, bustling with merchants, inns, and teahouses; 2. During the War of Resistance: it became a refuge capital, where hundreds of cultural celebrities like Lao She, Liang Shuming, and Liang Shiqiu lived; Lao She completed "Four Generations Under One Roof" in the "Mouse House," and institutions like the Central Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute and Mianren Academy were established here; 3. Modern times: coal transport declined and the village gradually quieted; in 2018, a "acupuncture-style" micro-renovation began, and after restoration in 2021, the street reopened to the public for free. 🌲 Buildings are built along the mountain, with winding old streets paved with bluestone slabs, preserving many wooden blue-tile houses from the Qing to the Republic of China era (such as the Yao Family Courtyard and the Xiong Family Courtyard); the forest coverage is very high, streams run through the village, and hot spring resources sharing the same source as Beiwengquan, combined with the Jialing River trail, earning it the nickname "Chongqing's Wizard of Oz." There is a large parking lot near the entrance, making self-driving very convenient. The entire area is located in the Jinyun Mountain Hot Spring area, with many hot springs in and around the village, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind, a natural oxygen bar. P.S. The background in the first picture had a cement monument of Jingangbei Wizard of Oz, which I photoshopped out because it felt out of place—there really is a cement inscription monument on site.

🛫 China Southern Airlines operates year-round direct flights from Guangzhou to Adelaide; Cathay Pacific has resumed seasonal direct flights from Hong Kong to Adelaide; China Eastern Airlines will launch direct flights from Shanghai to Adelaide on June 20. If you want to explore Kangaroo Island, choosing a two-day or longer in-depth trip with an overnight stay or more is better than a one-day tour to truly savor the island's charm. Today, we have gathered three unique hidden gem accommodations on the island, so there’s sure to be one that meets all your expectations for Kangaroo Island! 🗺️ There are two ways to get to Kangaroo Island ✈️ From Adelaide Airport to Kingscote Airport on Kangaroo Island, the flight takes about 30 minutes. ⛴️ From Cape Jervis, you can take the SeaLink ferry to Kangaroo Island, which takes about 45 minutes. (You can buy a ferry ticket for your car to bring it on board, or rent a car after arriving on the island.) CABN X Kangaroo Island: Whispering with Nature by the Coast If Kangaroo Island has a model for “making home in the scenery,” it must be CABN’s five eco-cabins. The luxury here is never ostentatious: outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight filters through the leaves casting moving patterns on the floor, instantly soothing travel fatigue; inside, the rooms feature king-size beds with comfortable mattresses and cloud-like bedding, healing all weariness from the journey. Southern Ocean Lodge: On the Cliff’s Edge, Touching the Pulse of the Southern Ocean Southern Ocean Lodge is located at Hanson Bay, nestled between mountain and sea, with every room offering stunning views of the national park. With only 25 rooms, the design ensures guests cannot see each other, allowing for a true sense of ownership and immersion in nature—a genuine ocean-view utopia. Seafront Holiday Park: Happy Family Time by the Sea The choices here are dazzling: want to experience refined camping? Six eco-luxury tents hidden in eucalyptus trees offer shimmering views of Hog Bay when you pull back the curtains; traveling with kids? Two eco-family tents are spacious and truly family-friendly; if you prefer comfort, two sea-view villas are excellent options, featuring open kitchens, private terraces with BBQ grills, and an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Dear friends! Forget the crowded Jingdezhen~ Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi is the true secret realm of immortals! Buildings perched on cliffs, waterfalls forming rivers, and at night the lights shine like the immortal stage from "Cang Lan Jue." With direct high-speed rail access and featured in National Geographic, this 2-day 1-night guide will help you unlock this breathtaking experience~ 🚗 How to get there? The transportation guide is super simple · High-speed rail: Direct trains to "Shangrao Station" from various places. After exiting, take the scenic area shuttle bus (30 RMB/person, 1 hour to the visitor center), frequent departures so no waiting. · Self-driving/taxi: Taxi from Shangrao Station costs about 150 RMB, suitable for groups (can carry luggage + costume props), navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." · Inside the scenic area: Walk! Many steps but not steep, just wear comfortable shoes. The scenery along the way makes walking and taking photos enjoyable. 🏡 Staying overnight is the right way to experience it You must stay inside the scenic area! Tickets are valid for 2 days, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone in the early morning and at night: · Wangxian Valley homestay cluster: Choose the "Cliff Homestay" (open the window to waterfalls + hanging buildings, fall asleep to the sound of water at night); for families with kids, choose "Workshop Street Homestay" (close to the snack street, convenient for buying treats). · Hidden perk: Guests can use a special homestay passage to avoid the main entrance crowds. At 6 AM, go to Mingchan Alley to shoot the morning mist, feeling like stepping into an empty immortal world. 📸 2-day 1-night itinerary + photo spots Day 1: Explore the valley by day, chase the lights by night · 10:00 Qingyun Bridge: Stand in the middle of the covered bridge to shoot the triple waterfall from above. Use slow shutter to make the water silky; when sunny, you can see a rainbow. · 11:30 Baiwei Street: Eat Jiangxi rice noodles (non-spicy version available), Dengzhan cake, buy osmanthus cake for kids, and parents try fermented glutinous rice balls. · 14:00 Baige Bridge: Capture the panoramic view of the cliff hanging buildings. Wear ancient costumes and stand in the middle of the bridge with green mountains and waterfalls behind you for a full martial arts vibe. · 16:00 Lanyue Bridge: Secure your spot before the blue hour! When red lanterns light up, the bridge and its reflection form a circle, resembling the Siming Palace in "Cang Lan Jue." · 19:30 "Wangxian Burning Dream": Bonfire party + electronic music, young people can dance, parents can watch intangible cultural heritage performances (Nuo opera face-changing is spectacular). · 21:00 Zuixian Street: Shop lights + lantern strings form a starry river. Use lanterns to light portraits, the atmosphere is amazing. Day 2: Morning mist + slow stroll, unlock hidden experiences · 7:00 Mingchan Alley + Yanpu Old Street: Go before the morning mist dissipates! Blue stone paths with red lanterns, shoot from low angles for depth, the empty shots are breathtakingly beautiful. · 9:00 Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlook the entire valley, including hanging buildings, waterfalls, and terraced fields, like a god’s view of an immortal town. · 11:00 Workshop Street interaction: Play pitch-pot and riddles with NPCs with kids to earn silver tickets, redeemable for small bookmarks; parents can watch intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving (try making a small basket). · 13:00 Before departure: Sit by the triple waterfall again, watch sunlight pierce through the morning mist, every shot is a healing wallpaper. ✨ Thoughtful Tips 1. Dress code: Wear Hanfu or new Chinese style (rentals available in the scenic area, 100 RMB/set including hairstyle); if you’re cold-sensitive, wear a thin down jacket under the Hanfu coat (Jiangxi winters are chilly in the mornings and evenings but won’t affect photos). 2. Performance schedule: "Twelve Faces of Nuo Mask" at 11:00/15:00 (at the opera stage square), "Han Wedding" at 14:30 (in front of Yang Mansion, phoenix crown and embroidered robe are very photogenic), bonfire party at 19:30 (central square), arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot. 3. Family-friendly: Steps are many but gentle, strollers can be used (some sections require lifting); hot water points are available in the scenic area for drinking anytime. The beauty of Wangxian Valley is the morning mist, the afternoon waterfalls, the night lights, and the immersive feeling of "every step a fairy tale." Tired of crowded ancient towns? This place is definitely the right choice!

On this trip to Singapore, I finally checked into the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, which so many friends have raved about! You get a panoramic view of Marina Bay—the scenery is absolutely stunning 🌃 It’s no wonder people say you’ll regret not staying here when visiting Singapore. Here is my complete guide to the experience. 📍 A prime location with a bird's-eye view The hotel is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, just a 5-minute walk from Promenade MRT Station, making travel very convenient! Famous landmarks like the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay are all within a 15-minute walk. There's a mall and food street right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient for late-night snacks ✅ 🌿 A hotel full of design and ambiance The fourth-floor lobby is a must-visit! Lush, cascading greenery paired with a mirrored pool makes every photo look like an Instagram-worthy shot. The rooms come with huge balconies. If you stay on a high floor, you can take in the views of the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and the Merlion fountain. When the light show starts at night, pour yourself a drink on the small balcony—the vibe is just perfect. 💎 A room experience full of thoughtful details TWG tea bags and a capsule coffee machine are standard in every room, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The toiletries are from a niche Australian brand with a soothing, light citrus scent. I especially love the layout with the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and corner sofa—soaking up the sun and enjoying the city view during the day, and turning it into a private viewing deck at night. It’s so comfortable I didn't want to leave! 🌊 Hidden gem photo spots · Rooftop pool: It's less crowded and the water is clean. You can capture the blue sky and Marina Bay Sands in the same frame here (I recommend coming before 10:00 AM) · Fourth-floor green corridor: The lighting is best between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for great photos · Room balcony: You can capture backlit silhouettes at sunset, and if you bring a tripod, you can even shoot time-lapse footage 🍽 Breakfast lovers, you must try this Make sure to set aside plenty of time to enjoy the semi-buffet breakfast! The made-to-order pancakes with durian sauce, Hainanese chicken rice, and Laksa are all authentic. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're dining in a garden. You must try the signature Eggs Benedict—the runny yolk is amazing 💯 📸 Nearby walking itinerary: Day 1: Hotel > Merlion Park > The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands > Night view at Gardens by the Bay Day 2: Michelin-starred food in Chinatown > Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel > Night cruise at Clarke Quay (Most of these spots are within walking distance!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1. For the deposit, credit card pre-authorization is preferred; the refund process for cash deposits is slower 2. Higher floors have better soundproofing. You can request "Marina View" when booking 3. The pool is open until 10:00 PM. Remember to bring a bathrobe for night swimming 4. Download the Grab app; it's much more cost-effective than regular taxis Overall, this place perfectly blends urban bustle with a relaxing vacation vibe. When you're tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel anytime to relax on the balcony and enjoy the view; when you head out, you can immediately experience the excitement of the city. In my opinion, it's a hotel in Singapore that is well worth staying at ✨

🤍Due to work, I've been to Masai Mara many times and stayed in many different hotels. The hotel our team stayed at this Chinese New Year truly surprised me. We stayed at Jirok Lodge, part of MGM. This hotel is basically in the core area of Masai Mara National Park. You can see hippos, elephants, and giraffes leisurely strolling in the National Park without even leaving the hotel. The hotel also has a dedicated bar for viewing hippos and a platform for observing animals, offering an excellent experience. 🤍Every day, there are many Maasai women selling their handicrafts at the hotel, and you can bargain. My guest bought a medium-sized giraffe wood carving for 7 USD, which was quite a good deal. On clear nights, you can look up from your room and see a sky full of romantic stars, accompanied by the sounds of hippos – a truly magical feeling. The hotel's dining is also good, with many dishes suitable for Chinese tastes. The omelet chef even speaks excellent Chinese. The experience was absolutely fantastic. 🤍Usually, hotels in Masai Mara have restrictions on hot water for showering and electricity usage times. However, during the Chinese New Year, this hotel had no time limit for hot water showers. Electricity was only completely off from 1:30 AM to 3:00 AM, which actually didn't affect our electricity use at all. This was great. ▫️Note: 🦛: Hippos may come ashore at night to graze on the hotel lawn, so staff assistance is required to return to your room. Do not open your door and go out by yourself at night. 🐒: There are also many vervet monkeys and baboons in the hotel, which might be jumping around on your roof at night. ☕️: Afternoon tea is served at the hotel from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. 🍹: The Hippo View Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. You can go in and take photos even if you don't buy drinks. The small blackboard at the bar will list which animals have passed by that day. Sometimes there are Maasai welcome ceremonies in the evening. 🤍In Masai Mara, I currently think the scenery and the stay experience here are the best.

My stay at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly agree with its place among the Top 10 Cultural Hotels in Singapore. I rated it a perfect 5 in both cultural and premium categories—it’s a hotel that truly lives up to both themes. The moment you step into the hotel, you’re greeted by its beautiful classical and historical architecture, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. I was especially impressed by the grandeur of the building, which I believe everyone visiting Singapore should take the time to experience. Every detail of the hotel surpasses expectations: from its luxurious 5-star environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. The hotel perfectly matches its reputation for prestige and luxury, making every guest feel special. For the best experience, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby vibrant bar and restaurant scene at Boat Quay—just a short 5-minute stroll from the hotel. The area comes alive at night, and if you walk a bit further, you’ll reach Clarke Quay, another hotspot for nightlife and riverside dining. Some practical tips for your stay: · Take time to appreciate the hotel’s unique historical ambiance—there are countless photo spots around. · Check out the bars and restaurants at Boat Quay, open until late for a taste of Singapore’s nightlife. · Prepare for some walking to fully enjoy the surrounding area. I would enthusiastically recommend The Fullerton Hotel Singapore to friends based on my memorable and delightful experience. This hotel not only holds a prestigious position on the Trip.com list, but after my stay, I trust the listing more than ever. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for luxury, The Fullerton is a must-visit in Singapore. #tripbest #tripbest _reviewer

Last year, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore for the F1 Grand Prix. 🇸🇬 I expected the track to be the highlight of my weekend, but once I checked in, I found it hard to step away from the room. 😂 The star of the show? That iconic octagonal window bathtub. Soaking in the tub during the day while overlooking the Singapore skyline, with sunlight streaming into the bathroom, really makes you feel like you're on a true vacation rather than just rushing through an itinerary. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring massive windows, a separate living area, and a workspace. It’s not that trendy, flashy "influencer" style, but rather a quiet, sophisticated sense of old-school luxury. The little details truly elevated the stay: 🛁 Iconic octagonal window bathtub 🧴 Diptyque Philosykos amenities ☕ Nespresso machine 🥃 In-room Honor Bar 🌆 Unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline But the real magic was the F1 atmosphere. Marina Bay is buzzing with racing energy all day, and by night, it transforms into an entirely different world. After the race, coming back to the hotel and shutting out the noise to soak in the tub while watching the city lights... That’s when it hit me— Some hotels aren't just a place to sleep; they become a core part of your travel memories. If I come back for the Singapore F1, this place will definitely be at the top of my list. 🏎️✨ 📍The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore 📍Marina Bay, Singapore

Really moved to tears by the beauty of Changshou Lake! Just a 1-hour drive from the main city, no need to go to Yunnan to enjoy the same springtime romance. Day 1 Head straight to Baihua Island in the morning, where the tulips are blooming wildly (mid-February to March). Reds, yellows, pinks—it's truly stunning, like stepping into an oil painting. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 📸. For lunch, dine at Lewen Courtyard inside the scenic area. The Jianghu cuisine tastes authentic. Be sure to book a lake-view room in advance! Opening the window reveals the lake and mountain scenery—absolutely breathtaking ✨. In the afternoon, try jet skiing at the Water Sports Center (60 RMB/person). Racing across the lake is exhilarating, the wind blowing your hair wildly but feeling so joyful! Then take a short cruise on a traditional Chinese painting boat, 50 RMB/person. At dusk, go to the Lakeside Starry Sky Camping Base to gather around the fire and brew tea, roasting sweet potatoes and oranges while watching the sunset. It’s incredibly relaxing. Stay overnight at the Hilton Hampton by the lake. The suite is amazing 🌅—lie in bed watching the sunrise, the balcony is like a landscape painting. The room is spacious and spotless, with a bathtub for soaking, and you can even see stars reflected on the lake surface. So healing ✨. Day 2 After waking up and having breakfast, take a ride on the aerial helium balloon. Seeing the huge “Shou” (Longevity) character island from above is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless. Before checking out at noon, take another stroll by the lake, then leisurely head home. 💡 A few tips: · It’s windy by the lake at night, bring warm clothes if camping overnight. · Jet skiing and helium balloon rides depend on the weather, check the forecast before heading out. · Parking is only 6 RMB per day, unbelievably cheap. · Water activities have age restrictions; if bringing elderly or children, inquire carefully.

Guizhou truly is a place that never fails to surprise. I checked in at the Wang Yibo-inspired Shierbeihou Scenic Area with my bestie and was absolutely amazed—this trip was totally worth it! We specially went to check out the room where Wang Yibo stayed. I have to say, he really knows how to pick a spot! This place is far from your typical trendy attraction. The moment you step inside, it feels like entering an underground palace from a novel—magical and breathtaking. Visiting during the Spring Festival added a festive vibe. In the Year of the Horse, we took horse photos and soaked up the good luck vibes with my bestie, the atmosphere was perfect. Our friends all praised us for finding such a great spot✌️. Choosing this place for a trip with my bestie was absolutely the right call: ✅ The check-in points are all close by, so you can stroll around easily without tiring your legs. Walking and snapping photos with my bestie was super relaxing. ✅ You get to enjoy stunning natural scenery and experience unique cave landscapes—new and fun, unlocking a different kind of travel experience. ✅ Every snap is a masterpiece—stalactites, cliffs, valleys, every spot is a gorgeous backdrop. We couldn’t stop taking bestie photos. 🕳️ Sharing our 2-day, 1-night “Year of the Horse Journey to the Earth’s Core” with my bestie 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏: Exploring the Earth’s Core · Relaxing by the Cliff We arrived at the scenic area at noon and kicked off our joyful journey: · 1️⃣ First stop: Shuanghe Cave Exploration Inside the cave feels like a vast underground kingdom. Dark rivers rush through, stalactites grow wildly like a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow makes every step feel like walking on an unknown planet. The mystery was full-on, and holding hands with my bestie while exploring felt amazing. · 2️⃣ Second stop: Cliffside Coffee & Gypsum Cave My bestie and I felt like heroes scaling walls, sipping coffee on a wooden platform on a vertical cliff, with a deep abyss beneath us. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had to take a commemorative photo together. Next, we checked out the Gypsum Cave. Stepping inside felt like entering the palace from Frozen. The crystal-clear stalactites were stunning, especially the “Mirage” pool, whose reflection was unreal. We took amazing photos here with my bestie. · 🏠 Overnight stay: Shuanghe Guesthouse We stayed at Shuanghe Guesthouse nestled in the valley. Opening the window, we heard the babbling water and forest breeze—the atmosphere was perfect. Photos 2 and 4 show the room Wang Yibo stayed in, a must-visit for fangirls😎. 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Conquering the Cliff The Milky Way Cave via ferrata is a must-try! Hanging on a natural cliff hundreds of meters high, the visual impact was incredible—so cool! The via ferrata is a super safe iron cable climbing activity, with safety fully guaranteed. There are two routes: easy and slightly challenging. My bestie and I took on the challenge together—thrilling and fun. We even met some elementary school students on a study tour and “scaled walls” with them. The vibe was fantastic, and the trip was full of joy. ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience, a must-read for trips with your bestie: · Windproof jackets + non-slip shoes are lifesavers. It’s cold inside the caves and by the cliffs, so be sure to wear them. · The dark river section is quite dark, making phone photography difficult. Bring a small flashlight or camping lantern for easier photos and walking. · It’s best to have a phone lanyard so your phone can hang on you safely and conveniently when taking photos on the cliff📷. · For those not driving, there are direct shuttle buses from Zunyi High-Speed Rail Station/Airport to the scenic area. Check the schedule in advance for a hassle-free trip with your bestie. · If driving, just navigate to Shierbeihou Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area for a smooth ride.

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

Today, I've got some great perks to share! For those holding a JCB credit card, you can enter airport lounges in Singapore completely for free. This is a special privilege provided by the card, which grants access to many locations worldwide. If you have a layover or are flying out of Singapore, I highly recommend the SATS Premier Lounge at Changi Airport. ✈️✨ The lounge has a wonderful atmosphere and is very comfortable, with multiple seating zones and a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from—including hot meals, snacks, desserts, and various beverages. Wi-Fi and showers are also available, making it the perfect place to rest before your flight, especially for late-night departures as it's open 24 hours. 📍 It's available at Terminals 1, 2, and 3 after immigration. I recommend setting aside 1–2 hours so you can eat, relax, and charge your batteries comfortably.

🚗 Just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and stay in a secret spot embraced by mountains and lawns. This Green Wild Star in Pengzhou completely shattered my stereotypes about tent accommodations. It’s not at all like rough outdoor camping. Each room has a private terrace, full smart home features, separate wet and dry bathrooms, underfloor heating—everything you need. It’s as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, with no worries about dampness or cold. You can freely run around the 60,000-square-meter lawn. The park also has adorable alpacas and sika deer that you can feed up close, perfect for families with kids or pets. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace under the sun, surrounded by the fresh scent of grass and trees. At night, it’s even more amazing—no city light pollution, just a sky full of stars. Wrapped in a blanket, chatting with friends over barbecue, all your fatigue melts away. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Sun Bay and Huilonggou, convenient for weekend hiking and playing in the snow. For sisters wanting to escape and relax, this place is a must-go.

#singaporehotel The taxi pulled off Farrer Park Road and my wife pressed her hand against the window like a person who has spotted something worth paying attention to. She has good instincts, my wife. Better than mine, if I am being honest, which after fifteen years of marriage I have learned to be. One Farrer Hotel rose before us — modern, assured, and possessed of that particular architectural confidence that comes not from size but from precision. I noted the clean lines, the careful landscaping, the way the entrance seemed to draw you forward rather than simply permit your arrival. Inside, the air conditioning hit us with the immediate, merciful efficiency of a well-run operation. The lobby was not cavernous in the manner of hotels that mistake scale for sophistication. It was considered — every surface, every angle, every arrangement of light suggesting that someone with genuine taste had made a series of deliberate decisions and stood behind each one without apology. My wife straightened slightly, the way she does when a place has earned her respect. The room rewarded closer inspection, which is always the true test. A lesser hotel flatters at first glance and disappoints upon examination. One Farrer invited scrutiny and emerged from it intact. The bed was wide and firm. The bathroom gleamed with the honesty of surfaces that are actually clean rather than merely appearing so. From our window, the city presented itself in a register that was neither overwhelming nor indifferent — Singapore going about its considerable business, indifferent to our admiration. Wildseed, the rooftop bar and restaurant, was where the evening assumed a character of its own. We sat beneath open sky as the city cooled around us, the lights below multiplying in the dusk like intelligence gathering in a darkened room. My wife ordered something with lychee and looked at me over her glass with an expression I have spent two decades learning to read correctly. It meant: *this was a good idea.* I did not say I told you so. I have also learned that. The breakfast the following morning was a precise and generous affair — the kind of spread that respects the intelligence of its guests by offering quality rather than mere quantity. My wife returned twice for the eggs. I noted this without comment. Some observations are better kept as private victories. One Farrer Hotel is not trying to be the grandest address in Singapore. It understands something more useful — that comfort executed with intelligence and consistency is its own form of excellence, and that guests who notice quality will find it here in reliable, satisfying abundance. We noticed. We were grateful. P/s A husband's honest account.

The Edition Singapore When you come to Singapore, don’t just focus on Marina Bay Sands. This hidden gem in the Orchard Road shopping district, The Edition, is a secret favorite among savvy travelers. 📍Perfect Location The hotel is right on Orchard Boulevard, just a 5-minute walk to ION Orchard shopping mall, and downstairs is Singapore’s busiest shopping street. It’s a 15-minute taxi ride to Gardens by the Bay, about 25 minutes to Changi Airport, and a 10-minute walk to Orchard MRT station. Everything you need for dining, shopping, and entertainment is nearby, including Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Jumbo Seafood. 🛏️How to Choose Your Room The standard rooms start at 38 square meters, which is quite spacious for Singapore. I recommend upgrading to a deluxe room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline—watching the night view is very soothing. If your budget allows, go for a suite with separate living and bedroom areas and a bathroom with a standalone bathtub, perfect for photos. Be sure to book early on Trip.com, as weekends often sell out. 💰Money-Saving Tips Avoid the F1 season and Christmas-New Year period to save about a third on room rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually offer the best prices, and discounts often apply for stays longer than two nights. The hotel’s pool and gym are free for guests, so no extra charges there. ✨Why It’s Worth Staying Here The design is top-notch. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the exterior looks like a vertical garden. The lobby’s high ceilings and green walls create a strong vacation vibe as soon as you enter. The rooms feature The Edition’s signature natural wood and linen style—no flashy gimmicks, just understated luxury that quietly says, “I’m expensive but I don’t brag.” The rooftop pool is a hidden gem. The infinity pool faces the cityscape, and soaking there at dusk while watching Orchard Road’s neon lights come on is much more relaxing than the crowded Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. There’s a bar by the pool where you can order a Singapore Sling—this is the right way to enjoy a holiday. Don’t sleep in on breakfast. The semi-buffet style includes must-try Eggs Benedict and Laksa, freshly made and served hot, far better than cold buffet counters. The restaurant has great natural light, and sitting by the window in the morning to eat slowly is truly healing. The service details are very touching. Handmade chocolates are given at check-in, turndown service arranges slippers neatly and adjusts curtains to just the right light level—these small touches are well done. The front desk offers Chinese service, so no worries if your English isn’t strong. This hotel isn’t as flashy as Marina Bay Sands, but those who have stayed here know how good it is. It’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, quality holiday experience. Next time you visit Singapore, give it a chance.

If you only have one day in Singapore, don’t worry, this city is made for quick stopovers! Efficient transport, compact attractions, and sooo many things to see & eat 🤩. Here’s how to make the most of 24 hours in the Lion City 🦁: 🌅 Morning vibes at Marina Bay Sands & Merlion Kick off your adventure at the iconic Marina Bay Sands 🏙️. The futuristic architecture will blow your mind, and the views of the bay are just chef’s kiss 👌. Stroll along the waterfront until you reach the Merlion: half lion 🦁, half fish 🐟, and 100% Singapore. It’s the ultimate photo spot 📸, with skyscrapers behind you and the sea breeze in your face. 🏮 Midday stroll in Chinatown Next stop: Chinatown! This neighborhood is a burst of colors 🎨, smells 🍜, and traditions 🙏. ✨ Don’t miss: · The stunning Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (yes, it really houses a sacred relic 🛕). · Wandering through the shophouses with their bright facades 🏠. · Picking up a quirky souvenir or two 🛍️. It’s the perfect place to soak in some culture before diving back into the modern side of the city. 🍴 Lunchtime at Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre Head to Lau Pa Sat, a historic hawker centre right in the business district, where you’ll find endless food stalls offering everything from: 🍗 Hainanese chicken rice (national dish!) 🥢 Satay skewers sizzling on the grill 🍜 Laksa, a spicy noodle soup that will warm your soul 🌆 Sunset & Spectra Light Show at Marina Bay As evening falls, circle back to Marina Bay. When the lights come on, the city turns into a futuristic wonderland 🌌. At 8 pm (and again at 9 pm), catch the Spectra Light & Water Show: a dazzling performance of fountains, lasers, and music 💦🎶. Sit by the promenade, watch the skyline sparkle ✨, and let the show wow you. It’s one of those “only in Singapore” moments you’ll never forget. 🌙 Bonus: A Glimpse of Gardens by the Bay And just when you think your day is over… nope 😉. Right behind Marina Bay Sands is Gardens by the Bay, home to the futuristic Supertree Grove 🌳🌳. But hold that thought, this deserves its own post (coming next 👀). #hellohalloween #marinabaysands #singapore #1dayinsingapore

For my recent trip to Singapore, I chose the Mercure Singapore Bugis (Waterloo Street) as my home base. The biggest draw was definitely the location—it's incredibly convenient. Both Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are just a few minutes away on foot, making it a breeze to head over to Orchard Road for some shopping or to Marina Bay for a night out. Plus, there are hawker centers and two major malls right nearby, so grabbing authentic local eats or picking up souvenirs is totally hassle-free. The hotel is centrally located at 78 Waterloo Street. It’s nestled between two MRT stations in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for a late-night stroll. You can easily walk to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park. If you're not in the mood for a long walk, popular breakfast spots like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are just around the corner, offering everything from classic Singaporean breakfasts to local fusion dishes. Getting to the heart of the matter—while the room isn’t the largest, the design is compact and modern. It’s genuinely clean and cozy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of morning sunlight, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a city view to start the day. The amenities are surprisingly complete; they’ve got all sorts of charging ports (Type-C and USB included) and even a filtered water system, so you don't have to keep buying bottled water. A real standout feature is the in-room computer equipped with YouTube and Netflix—you’ll never be bored even if you decide to stay in for the night. On the second floor, there’s a gym and a swimming pool, ideal for a morning workout or a relaxing evening dip. The self-service check-in and check-out process is quick and easy, and most of the front desk staff are bilingual in Mandarin and English, making communication effortless. Any issues are resolved almost instantly. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I’d recommend it to both leisure and business travelers, especially those who value transit convenience and comfort. Staying in this area means you can get anywhere within 15 minutes!

If you're visiting Singapore and love baked goods, Tiong Bahru Bakery is an absolute must-visit. Long celebrated for its freshly baked croissants and French-style pastries, the bakery offers signature treats like the classic Croissant, Kouign-Amann, Pain au Chocolat, and a variety of filled croissants. They perfectly nail that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture, paired with the rich aroma of premium butter. Beyond their pastries, the cafe serves up great coffee and a diverse brunch menu, making it the perfect spot to kick off your day or take a breather while exploring. With its cozy, laid-back vibe and multiple locations across the city, it's no wonder this spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Gentle river breeze, lush green forest, a secluded mountain Seize the moment of greenery, step into the forest valley There are books for the learned, readings for the common folk, and journeys for the world One of the last forgotten ancient villages on the banks of the Jialing River The Chongqing version of the Wizard of Oz This place feels like a fairy tale world forgotten by time The city's busy people are deeply enchanted by it Suffering and joy intertwined from top to bottom Though not in hell, the eyes are in heaven A thousand-layered stairway to the sky, the immortal has gone but people linger Yes, just left, already turning back to miss this fairy tale Historical context of Jingangbei Ancient Village 1. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty: due to coal mining in Jinyun Mountain, it became an important coal transport dock on the Jialing River, bustling with merchants, inns, and teahouses; 2. During the War of Resistance: it became a refuge capital, where hundreds of cultural celebrities like Lao She, Liang Shuming, and Liang Shiqiu lived; Lao She completed "Four Generations Under One Roof" in the "Mouse House," and institutions like the Central Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute and Mianren Academy were established here; 3. Modern times: coal transport declined and the village gradually quieted; in 2018, a "acupuncture-style" micro-renovation began, and after restoration in 2021, the street reopened to the public for free. 🌲 Buildings are built along the mountain, with winding old streets paved with bluestone slabs, preserving many wooden blue-tile houses from the Qing to the Republic of China era (such as the Yao Family Courtyard and the Xiong Family Courtyard); the forest coverage is very high, streams run through the village, and hot spring resources sharing the same source as Beiwengquan, combined with the Jialing River trail, earning it the nickname "Chongqing's Wizard of Oz." There is a large parking lot near the entrance, making self-driving very convenient. The entire area is located in the Jinyun Mountain Hot Spring area, with many hot springs in and around the village, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind, a natural oxygen bar. P.S. The background in the first picture had a cement monument of Jingangbei Wizard of Oz, which I photoshopped out because it felt out of place—there really is a cement inscription monument on site.

🛫 China Southern Airlines operates year-round direct flights from Guangzhou to Adelaide; Cathay Pacific has resumed seasonal direct flights from Hong Kong to Adelaide; China Eastern Airlines will launch direct flights from Shanghai to Adelaide on June 20. If you want to explore Kangaroo Island, choosing a two-day or longer in-depth trip with an overnight stay or more is better than a one-day tour to truly savor the island's charm. Today, we have gathered three unique hidden gem accommodations on the island, so there’s sure to be one that meets all your expectations for Kangaroo Island! 🗺️ There are two ways to get to Kangaroo Island ✈️ From Adelaide Airport to Kingscote Airport on Kangaroo Island, the flight takes about 30 minutes. ⛴️ From Cape Jervis, you can take the SeaLink ferry to Kangaroo Island, which takes about 45 minutes. (You can buy a ferry ticket for your car to bring it on board, or rent a car after arriving on the island.) CABN X Kangaroo Island: Whispering with Nature by the Coast If Kangaroo Island has a model for “making home in the scenery,” it must be CABN’s five eco-cabins. The luxury here is never ostentatious: outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight filters through the leaves casting moving patterns on the floor, instantly soothing travel fatigue; inside, the rooms feature king-size beds with comfortable mattresses and cloud-like bedding, healing all weariness from the journey. Southern Ocean Lodge: On the Cliff’s Edge, Touching the Pulse of the Southern Ocean Southern Ocean Lodge is located at Hanson Bay, nestled between mountain and sea, with every room offering stunning views of the national park. With only 25 rooms, the design ensures guests cannot see each other, allowing for a true sense of ownership and immersion in nature—a genuine ocean-view utopia. Seafront Holiday Park: Happy Family Time by the Sea The choices here are dazzling: want to experience refined camping? Six eco-luxury tents hidden in eucalyptus trees offer shimmering views of Hog Bay when you pull back the curtains; traveling with kids? Two eco-family tents are spacious and truly family-friendly; if you prefer comfort, two sea-view villas are excellent options, featuring open kitchens, private terraces with BBQ grills, and an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Dear friends! Forget the crowded Jingdezhen~ Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi is the true secret realm of immortals! Buildings perched on cliffs, waterfalls forming rivers, and at night the lights shine like the immortal stage from "Cang Lan Jue." With direct high-speed rail access and featured in National Geographic, this 2-day 1-night guide will help you unlock this breathtaking experience~ 🚗 How to get there? The transportation guide is super simple · High-speed rail: Direct trains to "Shangrao Station" from various places. After exiting, take the scenic area shuttle bus (30 RMB/person, 1 hour to the visitor center), frequent departures so no waiting. · Self-driving/taxi: Taxi from Shangrao Station costs about 150 RMB, suitable for groups (can carry luggage + costume props), navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." · Inside the scenic area: Walk! Many steps but not steep, just wear comfortable shoes. The scenery along the way makes walking and taking photos enjoyable. 🏡 Staying overnight is the right way to experience it You must stay inside the scenic area! Tickets are valid for 2 days, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone in the early morning and at night: · Wangxian Valley homestay cluster: Choose the "Cliff Homestay" (open the window to waterfalls + hanging buildings, fall asleep to the sound of water at night); for families with kids, choose "Workshop Street Homestay" (close to the snack street, convenient for buying treats). · Hidden perk: Guests can use a special homestay passage to avoid the main entrance crowds. At 6 AM, go to Mingchan Alley to shoot the morning mist, feeling like stepping into an empty immortal world. 📸 2-day 1-night itinerary + photo spots Day 1: Explore the valley by day, chase the lights by night · 10:00 Qingyun Bridge: Stand in the middle of the covered bridge to shoot the triple waterfall from above. Use slow shutter to make the water silky; when sunny, you can see a rainbow. · 11:30 Baiwei Street: Eat Jiangxi rice noodles (non-spicy version available), Dengzhan cake, buy osmanthus cake for kids, and parents try fermented glutinous rice balls. · 14:00 Baige Bridge: Capture the panoramic view of the cliff hanging buildings. Wear ancient costumes and stand in the middle of the bridge with green mountains and waterfalls behind you for a full martial arts vibe. · 16:00 Lanyue Bridge: Secure your spot before the blue hour! When red lanterns light up, the bridge and its reflection form a circle, resembling the Siming Palace in "Cang Lan Jue." · 19:30 "Wangxian Burning Dream": Bonfire party + electronic music, young people can dance, parents can watch intangible cultural heritage performances (Nuo opera face-changing is spectacular). · 21:00 Zuixian Street: Shop lights + lantern strings form a starry river. Use lanterns to light portraits, the atmosphere is amazing. Day 2: Morning mist + slow stroll, unlock hidden experiences · 7:00 Mingchan Alley + Yanpu Old Street: Go before the morning mist dissipates! Blue stone paths with red lanterns, shoot from low angles for depth, the empty shots are breathtakingly beautiful. · 9:00 Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlook the entire valley, including hanging buildings, waterfalls, and terraced fields, like a god’s view of an immortal town. · 11:00 Workshop Street interaction: Play pitch-pot and riddles with NPCs with kids to earn silver tickets, redeemable for small bookmarks; parents can watch intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving (try making a small basket). · 13:00 Before departure: Sit by the triple waterfall again, watch sunlight pierce through the morning mist, every shot is a healing wallpaper. ✨ Thoughtful Tips 1. Dress code: Wear Hanfu or new Chinese style (rentals available in the scenic area, 100 RMB/set including hairstyle); if you’re cold-sensitive, wear a thin down jacket under the Hanfu coat (Jiangxi winters are chilly in the mornings and evenings but won’t affect photos). 2. Performance schedule: "Twelve Faces of Nuo Mask" at 11:00/15:00 (at the opera stage square), "Han Wedding" at 14:30 (in front of Yang Mansion, phoenix crown and embroidered robe are very photogenic), bonfire party at 19:30 (central square), arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot. 3. Family-friendly: Steps are many but gentle, strollers can be used (some sections require lifting); hot water points are available in the scenic area for drinking anytime. The beauty of Wangxian Valley is the morning mist, the afternoon waterfalls, the night lights, and the immersive feeling of "every step a fairy tale." Tired of crowded ancient towns? This place is definitely the right choice!

On this trip to Singapore, I finally checked into the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, which so many friends have raved about! You get a panoramic view of Marina Bay—the scenery is absolutely stunning 🌃 It’s no wonder people say you’ll regret not staying here when visiting Singapore. Here is my complete guide to the experience. 📍 A prime location with a bird's-eye view The hotel is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, just a 5-minute walk from Promenade MRT Station, making travel very convenient! Famous landmarks like the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay are all within a 15-minute walk. There's a mall and food street right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient for late-night snacks ✅ 🌿 A hotel full of design and ambiance The fourth-floor lobby is a must-visit! Lush, cascading greenery paired with a mirrored pool makes every photo look like an Instagram-worthy shot. The rooms come with huge balconies. If you stay on a high floor, you can take in the views of the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and the Merlion fountain. When the light show starts at night, pour yourself a drink on the small balcony—the vibe is just perfect. 💎 A room experience full of thoughtful details TWG tea bags and a capsule coffee machine are standard in every room, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The toiletries are from a niche Australian brand with a soothing, light citrus scent. I especially love the layout with the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and corner sofa—soaking up the sun and enjoying the city view during the day, and turning it into a private viewing deck at night. It’s so comfortable I didn't want to leave! 🌊 Hidden gem photo spots · Rooftop pool: It's less crowded and the water is clean. You can capture the blue sky and Marina Bay Sands in the same frame here (I recommend coming before 10:00 AM) · Fourth-floor green corridor: The lighting is best between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for great photos · Room balcony: You can capture backlit silhouettes at sunset, and if you bring a tripod, you can even shoot time-lapse footage 🍽 Breakfast lovers, you must try this Make sure to set aside plenty of time to enjoy the semi-buffet breakfast! The made-to-order pancakes with durian sauce, Hainanese chicken rice, and Laksa are all authentic. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're dining in a garden. You must try the signature Eggs Benedict—the runny yolk is amazing 💯 📸 Nearby walking itinerary: Day 1: Hotel > Merlion Park > The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands > Night view at Gardens by the Bay Day 2: Michelin-starred food in Chinatown > Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel > Night cruise at Clarke Quay (Most of these spots are within walking distance!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1. For the deposit, credit card pre-authorization is preferred; the refund process for cash deposits is slower 2. Higher floors have better soundproofing. You can request "Marina View" when booking 3. The pool is open until 10:00 PM. Remember to bring a bathrobe for night swimming 4. Download the Grab app; it's much more cost-effective than regular taxis Overall, this place perfectly blends urban bustle with a relaxing vacation vibe. When you're tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel anytime to relax on the balcony and enjoy the view; when you head out, you can immediately experience the excitement of the city. In my opinion, it's a hotel in Singapore that is well worth staying at ✨

🤍Due to work, I've been to Masai Mara many times and stayed in many different hotels. The hotel our team stayed at this Chinese New Year truly surprised me. We stayed at Jirok Lodge, part of MGM. This hotel is basically in the core area of Masai Mara National Park. You can see hippos, elephants, and giraffes leisurely strolling in the National Park without even leaving the hotel. The hotel also has a dedicated bar for viewing hippos and a platform for observing animals, offering an excellent experience. 🤍Every day, there are many Maasai women selling their handicrafts at the hotel, and you can bargain. My guest bought a medium-sized giraffe wood carving for 7 USD, which was quite a good deal. On clear nights, you can look up from your room and see a sky full of romantic stars, accompanied by the sounds of hippos – a truly magical feeling. The hotel's dining is also good, with many dishes suitable for Chinese tastes. The omelet chef even speaks excellent Chinese. The experience was absolutely fantastic. 🤍Usually, hotels in Masai Mara have restrictions on hot water for showering and electricity usage times. However, during the Chinese New Year, this hotel had no time limit for hot water showers. Electricity was only completely off from 1:30 AM to 3:00 AM, which actually didn't affect our electricity use at all. This was great. ▫️Note: 🦛: Hippos may come ashore at night to graze on the hotel lawn, so staff assistance is required to return to your room. Do not open your door and go out by yourself at night. 🐒: There are also many vervet monkeys and baboons in the hotel, which might be jumping around on your roof at night. ☕️: Afternoon tea is served at the hotel from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. 🍹: The Hippo View Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. You can go in and take photos even if you don't buy drinks. The small blackboard at the bar will list which animals have passed by that day. Sometimes there are Maasai welcome ceremonies in the evening. 🤍In Masai Mara, I currently think the scenery and the stay experience here are the best.

My stay at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly agree with its place among the Top 10 Cultural Hotels in Singapore. I rated it a perfect 5 in both cultural and premium categories—it’s a hotel that truly lives up to both themes. The moment you step into the hotel, you’re greeted by its beautiful classical and historical architecture, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. I was especially impressed by the grandeur of the building, which I believe everyone visiting Singapore should take the time to experience. Every detail of the hotel surpasses expectations: from its luxurious 5-star environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. The hotel perfectly matches its reputation for prestige and luxury, making every guest feel special. For the best experience, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby vibrant bar and restaurant scene at Boat Quay—just a short 5-minute stroll from the hotel. The area comes alive at night, and if you walk a bit further, you’ll reach Clarke Quay, another hotspot for nightlife and riverside dining. Some practical tips for your stay: · Take time to appreciate the hotel’s unique historical ambiance—there are countless photo spots around. · Check out the bars and restaurants at Boat Quay, open until late for a taste of Singapore’s nightlife. · Prepare for some walking to fully enjoy the surrounding area. I would enthusiastically recommend The Fullerton Hotel Singapore to friends based on my memorable and delightful experience. This hotel not only holds a prestigious position on the Trip.com list, but after my stay, I trust the listing more than ever. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for luxury, The Fullerton is a must-visit in Singapore. #tripbest #tripbest _reviewer

Last year, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore for the F1 Grand Prix. 🇸🇬 I expected the track to be the highlight of my weekend, but once I checked in, I found it hard to step away from the room. 😂 The star of the show? That iconic octagonal window bathtub. Soaking in the tub during the day while overlooking the Singapore skyline, with sunlight streaming into the bathroom, really makes you feel like you're on a true vacation rather than just rushing through an itinerary. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring massive windows, a separate living area, and a workspace. It’s not that trendy, flashy "influencer" style, but rather a quiet, sophisticated sense of old-school luxury. The little details truly elevated the stay: 🛁 Iconic octagonal window bathtub 🧴 Diptyque Philosykos amenities ☕ Nespresso machine 🥃 In-room Honor Bar 🌆 Unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline But the real magic was the F1 atmosphere. Marina Bay is buzzing with racing energy all day, and by night, it transforms into an entirely different world. After the race, coming back to the hotel and shutting out the noise to soak in the tub while watching the city lights... That’s when it hit me— Some hotels aren't just a place to sleep; they become a core part of your travel memories. If I come back for the Singapore F1, this place will definitely be at the top of my list. 🏎️✨ 📍The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore 📍Marina Bay, Singapore

Really moved to tears by the beauty of Changshou Lake! Just a 1-hour drive from the main city, no need to go to Yunnan to enjoy the same springtime romance. Day 1 Head straight to Baihua Island in the morning, where the tulips are blooming wildly (mid-February to March). Reds, yellows, pinks—it's truly stunning, like stepping into an oil painting. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 📸. For lunch, dine at Lewen Courtyard inside the scenic area. The Jianghu cuisine tastes authentic. Be sure to book a lake-view room in advance! Opening the window reveals the lake and mountain scenery—absolutely breathtaking ✨. In the afternoon, try jet skiing at the Water Sports Center (60 RMB/person). Racing across the lake is exhilarating, the wind blowing your hair wildly but feeling so joyful! Then take a short cruise on a traditional Chinese painting boat, 50 RMB/person. At dusk, go to the Lakeside Starry Sky Camping Base to gather around the fire and brew tea, roasting sweet potatoes and oranges while watching the sunset. It’s incredibly relaxing. Stay overnight at the Hilton Hampton by the lake. The suite is amazing 🌅—lie in bed watching the sunrise, the balcony is like a landscape painting. The room is spacious and spotless, with a bathtub for soaking, and you can even see stars reflected on the lake surface. So healing ✨. Day 2 After waking up and having breakfast, take a ride on the aerial helium balloon. Seeing the huge “Shou” (Longevity) character island from above is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless. Before checking out at noon, take another stroll by the lake, then leisurely head home. 💡 A few tips: · It’s windy by the lake at night, bring warm clothes if camping overnight. · Jet skiing and helium balloon rides depend on the weather, check the forecast before heading out. · Parking is only 6 RMB per day, unbelievably cheap. · Water activities have age restrictions; if bringing elderly or children, inquire carefully.

Guizhou truly is a place that never fails to surprise. I checked in at the Wang Yibo-inspired Shierbeihou Scenic Area with my bestie and was absolutely amazed—this trip was totally worth it! We specially went to check out the room where Wang Yibo stayed. I have to say, he really knows how to pick a spot! This place is far from your typical trendy attraction. The moment you step inside, it feels like entering an underground palace from a novel—magical and breathtaking. Visiting during the Spring Festival added a festive vibe. In the Year of the Horse, we took horse photos and soaked up the good luck vibes with my bestie, the atmosphere was perfect. Our friends all praised us for finding such a great spot✌️. Choosing this place for a trip with my bestie was absolutely the right call: ✅ The check-in points are all close by, so you can stroll around easily without tiring your legs. Walking and snapping photos with my bestie was super relaxing. ✅ You get to enjoy stunning natural scenery and experience unique cave landscapes—new and fun, unlocking a different kind of travel experience. ✅ Every snap is a masterpiece—stalactites, cliffs, valleys, every spot is a gorgeous backdrop. We couldn’t stop taking bestie photos. 🕳️ Sharing our 2-day, 1-night “Year of the Horse Journey to the Earth’s Core” with my bestie 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏: Exploring the Earth’s Core · Relaxing by the Cliff We arrived at the scenic area at noon and kicked off our joyful journey: · 1️⃣ First stop: Shuanghe Cave Exploration Inside the cave feels like a vast underground kingdom. Dark rivers rush through, stalactites grow wildly like a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow makes every step feel like walking on an unknown planet. The mystery was full-on, and holding hands with my bestie while exploring felt amazing. · 2️⃣ Second stop: Cliffside Coffee & Gypsum Cave My bestie and I felt like heroes scaling walls, sipping coffee on a wooden platform on a vertical cliff, with a deep abyss beneath us. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had to take a commemorative photo together. Next, we checked out the Gypsum Cave. Stepping inside felt like entering the palace from Frozen. The crystal-clear stalactites were stunning, especially the “Mirage” pool, whose reflection was unreal. We took amazing photos here with my bestie. · 🏠 Overnight stay: Shuanghe Guesthouse We stayed at Shuanghe Guesthouse nestled in the valley. Opening the window, we heard the babbling water and forest breeze—the atmosphere was perfect. Photos 2 and 4 show the room Wang Yibo stayed in, a must-visit for fangirls😎. 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Conquering the Cliff The Milky Way Cave via ferrata is a must-try! Hanging on a natural cliff hundreds of meters high, the visual impact was incredible—so cool! The via ferrata is a super safe iron cable climbing activity, with safety fully guaranteed. There are two routes: easy and slightly challenging. My bestie and I took on the challenge together—thrilling and fun. We even met some elementary school students on a study tour and “scaled walls” with them. The vibe was fantastic, and the trip was full of joy. ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience, a must-read for trips with your bestie: · Windproof jackets + non-slip shoes are lifesavers. It’s cold inside the caves and by the cliffs, so be sure to wear them. · The dark river section is quite dark, making phone photography difficult. Bring a small flashlight or camping lantern for easier photos and walking. · It’s best to have a phone lanyard so your phone can hang on you safely and conveniently when taking photos on the cliff📷. · For those not driving, there are direct shuttle buses from Zunyi High-Speed Rail Station/Airport to the scenic area. Check the schedule in advance for a hassle-free trip with your bestie. · If driving, just navigate to Shierbeihou Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area for a smooth ride.

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

🚗 Just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and stay in a secret spot embraced by mountains and lawns. This Green Wild Star in Pengzhou completely shattered my stereotypes about tent accommodations. It’s not at all like rough outdoor camping. Each room has a private terrace, full smart home features, separate wet and dry bathrooms, underfloor heating—everything you need. It’s as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, with no worries about dampness or cold. You can freely run around the 60,000-square-meter lawn. The park also has adorable alpacas and sika deer that you can feed up close, perfect for families with kids or pets. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace under the sun, surrounded by the fresh scent of grass and trees. At night, it’s even more amazing—no city light pollution, just a sky full of stars. Wrapped in a blanket, chatting with friends over barbecue, all your fatigue melts away. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Sun Bay and Huilonggou, convenient for weekend hiking and playing in the snow. For sisters wanting to escape and relax, this place is a must-go.

#singaporehotel The taxi pulled off Farrer Park Road and my wife pressed her hand against the window like a person who has spotted something worth paying attention to. She has good instincts, my wife. Better than mine, if I am being honest, which after fifteen years of marriage I have learned to be. One Farrer Hotel rose before us — modern, assured, and possessed of that particular architectural confidence that comes not from size but from precision. I noted the clean lines, the careful landscaping, the way the entrance seemed to draw you forward rather than simply permit your arrival. Inside, the air conditioning hit us with the immediate, merciful efficiency of a well-run operation. The lobby was not cavernous in the manner of hotels that mistake scale for sophistication. It was considered — every surface, every angle, every arrangement of light suggesting that someone with genuine taste had made a series of deliberate decisions and stood behind each one without apology. My wife straightened slightly, the way she does when a place has earned her respect. The room rewarded closer inspection, which is always the true test. A lesser hotel flatters at first glance and disappoints upon examination. One Farrer invited scrutiny and emerged from it intact. The bed was wide and firm. The bathroom gleamed with the honesty of surfaces that are actually clean rather than merely appearing so. From our window, the city presented itself in a register that was neither overwhelming nor indifferent — Singapore going about its considerable business, indifferent to our admiration. Wildseed, the rooftop bar and restaurant, was where the evening assumed a character of its own. We sat beneath open sky as the city cooled around us, the lights below multiplying in the dusk like intelligence gathering in a darkened room. My wife ordered something with lychee and looked at me over her glass with an expression I have spent two decades learning to read correctly. It meant: *this was a good idea.* I did not say I told you so. I have also learned that. The breakfast the following morning was a precise and generous affair — the kind of spread that respects the intelligence of its guests by offering quality rather than mere quantity. My wife returned twice for the eggs. I noted this without comment. Some observations are better kept as private victories. One Farrer Hotel is not trying to be the grandest address in Singapore. It understands something more useful — that comfort executed with intelligence and consistency is its own form of excellence, and that guests who notice quality will find it here in reliable, satisfying abundance.

The Edition Singapore When you come to Singapore, don’t just focus on Marina Bay Sands. This hidden gem in the Orchard Road shopping district, The Edition, is a secret favorite among savvy travelers. 📍Perfect Location The hotel is right on Orchard Boulevard, just a 5-minute walk to ION Orchard shopping mall, and downstairs is Singapore’s busiest shopping street. It’s a 15-minute taxi ride to Gardens by the Bay, about 25 minutes to Changi Airport, and a 10-minute walk to Orchard MRT station. Everything you need for dining, shopping, and entertainment is nearby, including Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Jumbo Seafood. 🛏️How to Choose Your Room The standard rooms start at 38 square meters, which is quite spacious for Singapore. I recommend upgrading to a deluxe room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline—watching the night view is very soothing. If your budget allows, go for a suite with separate living and bedroom areas and a bathroom with a standalone bathtub, perfect for photos. Be sure to book early on Trip.com, as weekends often sell out. 💰Money-Saving Tips Avoid the F1 season and Christmas-New Year period to save about a third on room rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually offer the best prices, and discounts often apply for stays longer than two nights. The hotel’s pool and gym are free for guests, so no extra charges there. ✨Why It’s Worth Staying Here The design is top-notch. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the exterior looks like a vertical garden. The lobby’s high ceilings and green walls create a strong vacation vibe as soon as you enter. The rooms feature The Edition’s signature natural wood and linen style—no flashy gimmicks, just understated luxury that quietly says, “I’m expensive but I don’t brag.” The rooftop pool is a hidden gem. The infinity pool faces the cityscape, and soaking there at dusk while watching Orchard Road’s neon lights come on is much more relaxing than the crowded Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. There’s a bar by the pool where you can order a Singapore Sling—this is the right way to enjoy a holiday. Don’t sleep in on breakfast. The semi-buffet style includes must-try Eggs Benedict and Laksa, freshly made and served hot, far better than cold buffet counters. The restaurant has great natural light, and sitting by the window in the morning to eat slowly is truly healing. The service details are very touching. Handmade chocolates are given at check-in, turndown service arranges slippers neatly and adjusts curtains to just the right light level—these small touches are well done. The front desk offers Chinese service, so no worries if your English isn’t strong. This hotel isn’t as flashy as Marina Bay Sands, but those who have stayed here know how good it is. It’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, quality holiday experience. Next time you visit Singapore, give it a chance.

If you only have one day in Singapore, don’t worry, this city is made for quick stopovers! Efficient transport, compact attractions, and sooo many things to see & eat 🤩. Here’s how to make the most of 24 hours in the Lion City 🦁: 🌅 Morning vibes at Marina Bay Sands & Merlion Kick off your adventure at the iconic Marina Bay Sands 🏙️. The futuristic architecture will blow your mind, and the views of the bay are just chef’s kiss 👌. Stroll along the waterfront until you reach the Merlion: half lion 🦁, half fish 🐟, and 100% Singapore. It’s the ultimate photo spot 📸, with skyscrapers behind you and the sea breeze in your face. 🏮 Midday stroll in Chinatown Next stop: Chinatown! This neighborhood is a burst of colors 🎨, smells 🍜, and traditions 🙏. ✨ Don’t miss: · The stunning Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (yes, it really houses a sacred relic 🛕). · Wandering through the shophouses with their bright facades 🏠. · Picking up a quirky souvenir or two 🛍️. It’s the perfect place to soak in some culture before diving back into the modern side of the city. 🍴 Lunchtime at Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre Head to Lau Pa Sat, a historic hawker centre right in the business district, where you’ll find endless food stalls offering everything from: 🍗 Hainanese chicken rice (national dish!) 🥢 Satay skewers sizzling on the grill 🍜 Laksa, a spicy noodle soup that will warm your soul 🌆 Sunset & Spectra Light Show at Marina Bay As evening falls, circle back to Marina Bay. When the lights come on, the city turns into a futuristic wonderland 🌌. At 8 pm (and again at 9 pm), catch the Spectra Light & Water Show: a dazzling performance of fountains, lasers, and music 💦🎶. Sit by the promenade, watch the skyline sparkle ✨, and let the show wow you. It’s one of those “only in Singapore” moments you’ll never forget. 🌙 Bonus: A Glimpse of Gardens by the Bay And just when you think your day is over… nope 😉. Right behind Marina Bay Sands is Gardens by the Bay, home to the futuristic Supertree Grove 🌳🌳. But hold that thought, this deserves its own post (coming next 👀). #hellohalloween #marinabaysands #singapore #1dayinsingapore

For my recent trip to Singapore, I chose the Mercure Singapore Bugis (Waterloo Street) as my home base. The biggest draw was definitely the location—it's incredibly convenient. Both Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are just a few minutes away on foot, making it a breeze to head over to Orchard Road for some shopping or to Marina Bay for a night out. Plus, there are hawker centers and two major malls right nearby, so grabbing authentic local eats or picking up souvenirs is totally hassle-free. The hotel is centrally located at 78 Waterloo Street. It’s nestled between two MRT stations in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for a late-night stroll. You can easily walk to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park. If you're not in the mood for a long walk, popular breakfast spots like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are just around the corner, offering everything from classic Singaporean breakfasts to local fusion dishes. Getting to the heart of the matter—while the room isn’t the largest, the design is compact and modern. It’s genuinely clean and cozy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of morning sunlight, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a city view to start the day. The amenities are surprisingly complete; they’ve got all sorts of charging ports (Type-C and USB included) and even a filtered water system, so you don't have to keep buying bottled water. A real standout feature is the in-room computer equipped with YouTube and Netflix—you’ll never be bored even if you decide to stay in for the night. On the second floor, there’s a gym and a swimming pool, ideal for a morning workout or a relaxing evening dip. The self-service check-in and check-out process is quick and easy, and most of the front desk staff are bilingual in Mandarin and English, making communication effortless. Any issues are resolved almost instantly. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I’d recommend it to both leisure and business travelers, especially those who value transit convenience and comfort. Staying in this area means you can get anywhere within 15 minutes!

If you're visiting Singapore and love baked goods, Tiong Bahru Bakery is an absolute must-visit. Long celebrated for its freshly baked croissants and French-style pastries, the bakery offers signature treats like the classic Croissant, Kouign-Amann, Pain au Chocolat, and a variety of filled croissants. They perfectly nail that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture, paired with the rich aroma of premium butter. Beyond their pastries, the cafe serves up great coffee and a diverse brunch menu, making it the perfect spot to kick off your day or take a breather while exploring. With its cozy, laid-back vibe and multiple locations across the city, it's no wonder this spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Gentle river breeze, lush green forest, a secluded mountain Seize the moment of greenery, step into the forest valley There are books for the learned, readings for the common folk, and journeys for the world One of the last forgotten ancient villages on the banks of the Jialing River The Chongqing version of the Wizard of Oz This place feels like a fairy tale world forgotten by time The city's busy people are deeply enchanted by it Suffering and joy intertwined from top to bottom Though not in hell, the eyes are in heaven A thousand-layered stairway to the sky, the immortal has gone but people linger Yes, just left, already turning back to miss this fairy tale Historical context of Jingangbei Ancient Village 1. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty: due to coal mining in Jinyun Mountain, it became an important coal transport dock on the Jialing River, bustling with merchants, inns, and teahouses; 2. During the War of Resistance: it became a refuge capital, where hundreds of cultural celebrities like Lao She, Liang Shuming, and Liang Shiqiu lived; Lao She completed "Four Generations Under One Roof" in the "Mouse House," and institutions like the Central Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute and Mianren Academy were established here; 3. Modern times: coal transport declined and the village gradually quieted; in 2018, a "acupuncture-style" micro-renovation began, and after restoration in 2021, the street reopened to the public for free. 🌲 Buildings are built along the mountain, with winding old streets paved with bluestone slabs, preserving many wooden blue-tile houses from the Qing to the Republic of China era (such as the Yao Family Courtyard and the Xiong Family Courtyard); the forest coverage is very high, streams run through the village, and hot spring resources sharing the same source as Beiwengquan, combined with the Jialing River trail, earning it the nickname "Chongqing's Wizard of Oz." There is a large parking lot near the entrance, making self-driving very convenient. The entire area is located in the Jinyun Mountain Hot Spring area, with many hot springs in and around the village, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind, a natural oxygen bar. P.S. The background in the first picture had a cement monument of Jingangbei Wizard of Oz, which I photoshopped out because it felt out of place—there really is a cement inscription monument on site.

🛫 China Southern Airlines operates year-round direct flights from Guangzhou to Adelaide; Cathay Pacific has resumed seasonal direct flights from Hong Kong to Adelaide; China Eastern Airlines will launch direct flights from Shanghai to Adelaide on June 20. If you want to explore Kangaroo Island, choosing a two-day or longer in-depth trip with an overnight stay or more is better than a one-day tour to truly savor the island's charm. Today, we have gathered three unique hidden gem accommodations on the island, so there’s sure to be one that meets all your expectations for Kangaroo Island! 🗺️ There are two ways to get to Kangaroo Island ✈️ From Adelaide Airport to Kingscote Airport on Kangaroo Island, the flight takes about 30 minutes. ⛴️ From Cape Jervis, you can take the SeaLink ferry to Kangaroo Island, which takes about 45 minutes. (You can buy a ferry ticket for your car to bring it on board, or rent a car after arriving on the island.) CABN X Kangaroo Island: Whispering with Nature by the Coast If Kangaroo Island has a model for “making home in the scenery,” it must be CABN’s five eco-cabins. The luxury here is never ostentatious: outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight filters through the leaves casting moving patterns on the floor, instantly soothing travel fatigue; inside, the rooms feature king-size beds with comfortable mattresses and cloud-like bedding, healing all weariness from the journey. Southern Ocean Lodge: On the Cliff’s Edge, Touching the Pulse of the Southern Ocean Southern Ocean Lodge is located at Hanson Bay, nestled between mountain and sea, with every room offering stunning views of the national park. With only 25 rooms, the design ensures guests cannot see each other, allowing for a true sense of ownership and immersion in nature—a genuine ocean-view utopia. Seafront Holiday Park: Happy Family Time by the Sea The choices here are dazzling: want to experience refined camping? Six eco-luxury tents hidden in eucalyptus trees offer shimmering views of Hog Bay when you pull back the curtains; traveling with kids? Two eco-family tents are spacious and truly family-friendly; if you prefer comfort, two sea-view villas are excellent options, featuring open kitchens, private terraces with BBQ grills, and an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Dear friends! Forget the crowded Jingdezhen~ Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi is the true secret realm of immortals! Buildings perched on cliffs, waterfalls forming rivers, and at night the lights shine like the immortal stage from "Cang Lan Jue." With direct high-speed rail access and featured in National Geographic, this 2-day 1-night guide will help you unlock this breathtaking experience~ 🚗 How to get there? The transportation guide is super simple · High-speed rail: Direct trains to "Shangrao Station" from various places. After exiting, take the scenic area shuttle bus (30 RMB/person, 1 hour to the visitor center), frequent departures so no waiting. · Self-driving/taxi: Taxi from Shangrao Station costs about 150 RMB, suitable for groups (can carry luggage + costume props), navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." · Inside the scenic area: Walk! Many steps but not steep, just wear comfortable shoes. The scenery along the way makes walking and taking photos enjoyable. 🏡 Staying overnight is the right way to experience it You must stay inside the scenic area! Tickets are valid for 2 days, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone in the early morning and at night: · Wangxian Valley homestay cluster: Choose the "Cliff Homestay" (open the window to waterfalls + hanging buildings, fall asleep to the sound of water at night); for families with kids, choose "Workshop Street Homestay" (close to the snack street, convenient for buying treats). · Hidden perk: Guests can use a special homestay passage to avoid the main entrance crowds. At 6 AM, go to Mingchan Alley to shoot the morning mist, feeling like stepping into an empty immortal world. 📸 2-day 1-night itinerary + photo spots Day 1: Explore the valley by day, chase the lights by night · 10:00 Qingyun Bridge: Stand in the middle of the covered bridge to shoot the triple waterfall from above. Use slow shutter to make the water silky; when sunny, you can see a rainbow. · 11:30 Baiwei Street: Eat Jiangxi rice noodles (non-spicy version available), Dengzhan cake, buy osmanthus cake for kids, and parents try fermented glutinous rice balls. · 14:00 Baige Bridge: Capture the panoramic view of the cliff hanging buildings. Wear ancient costumes and stand in the middle of the bridge with green mountains and waterfalls behind you for a full martial arts vibe. · 16:00 Lanyue Bridge: Secure your spot before the blue hour! When red lanterns light up, the bridge and its reflection form a circle, resembling the Siming Palace in "Cang Lan Jue." · 19:30 "Wangxian Burning Dream": Bonfire party + electronic music, young people can dance, parents can watch intangible cultural heritage performances (Nuo opera face-changing is spectacular). · 21:00 Zuixian Street: Shop lights + lantern strings form a starry river. Use lanterns to light portraits, the atmosphere is amazing.

Blue stone paths with red lanterns, shoot from low angles for depth, the empty shots are breathtakingly beautiful. · 9:00 Baihe Cliff Viewing Platform: Overlook the entire valley, including hanging buildings, waterfalls, and terraced fields, like a god’s view of an immortal town. · 11:00 Workshop Street interaction: Play pitch-pot and riddles with NPCs with kids to earn silver tickets, redeemable for small bookmarks; parents can watch intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving (try making a small basket). · 13:00 Before departure: Sit by the triple waterfall again, watch sunlight pierce through the morning mist, every shot is a healing wallpaper. ✨ Thoughtful Tips 1. Dress code: Wear Hanfu or new Chinese style (rentals available in the scenic area, 100 RMB/set including hairstyle); if you’re cold-sensitive, wear a thin down jacket under the Hanfu coat (Jiangxi winters are chilly in the mornings and evenings but won’t affect photos). 2. Performance schedule: "Twelve Faces of Nuo Mask" at 11:00/15:00 (at the opera stage square), "Han Wedding" at 14:30 (in front of Yang Mansion, phoenix crown and embroidered robe are very photogenic), bonfire party at 19:30 (central square), arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot. 3. Family-friendly: Steps are many but gentle, strollers can be used (some sections require lifting); hot water points are available in the scenic area for drinking anytime. The beauty of Wangxian Valley is the morning mist, the afternoon waterfalls, the night lights, and the immersive feeling of "every step a fairy tale." Tired of crowded ancient towns? This place is definitely the right choice!

On this trip to Singapore, I finally checked into the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, which so many friends have raved about! You get a panoramic view of Marina Bay—the scenery is absolutely stunning 🌃 It’s no wonder people say you’ll regret not staying here when visiting Singapore. Here is my complete guide to the experience. 📍 A prime location with a bird's-eye view The hotel is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, just a 5-minute walk from Promenade MRT Station, making travel very convenient! Famous landmarks like the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay are all within a 15-minute walk. There's a mall and food street right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient for late-night snacks ✅ 🌿 A hotel full of design and ambiance The fourth-floor lobby is a must-visit! Lush, cascading greenery paired with a mirrored pool makes every photo look like an Instagram-worthy shot. The rooms come with huge balconies. If you stay on a high floor, you can take in the views of the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and the Merlion fountain. When the light show starts at night, pour yourself a drink on the small balcony—the vibe is just perfect. 💎 A room experience full of thoughtful details TWG tea bags and a capsule coffee machine are standard in every room, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The toiletries are from a niche Australian brand with a soothing, light citrus scent. I especially love the layout with the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and corner sofa—soaking up the sun and enjoying the city view during the day, and turning it into a private viewing deck at night. It’s so comfortable I didn't want to leave! 🌊 Hidden gem photo spots · Rooftop pool: It's less crowded and the water is clean. You can capture the blue sky and Marina Bay Sands in the same frame here (I recommend coming before 10:00 AM) · Fourth-floor green corridor: The lighting is best between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for great photos · Room balcony: You can capture backlit silhouettes at sunset, and if you bring a tripod, you can even shoot time-lapse footage 🍽 Breakfast lovers, you must try this Make sure to set aside plenty of time to enjoy the semi-buffet breakfast! The made-to-order pancakes with durian sauce, Hainanese chicken rice, and Laksa are all authentic. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're dining in a garden. You must try the signature Eggs Benedict—the runny yolk is amazing 💯 📸 Nearby walking itinerary: Day 1: Hotel > Merlion Park > The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands > Night view at Gardens by the Bay Day 2: Michelin-starred food in Chinatown > Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel > Night cruise at Clarke Quay (Most of these spots are within walking distance!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1. For the deposit, credit card pre-authorization is preferred; the refund process for cash deposits is slower 2. Higher floors have better soundproofing. You can request "Marina View" when booking 3. The pool is open until 10:00 PM. Remember to bring a bathrobe for night swimming 4. Download the Grab app; it's much more cost-effective than regular taxis Overall, this place perfectly blends urban bustle with a relaxing vacation vibe.

In my opinion, it's a hotel in Singapore that is well worth staying at ✨

🤍Due to work, I've been to Masai Mara many times and stayed in many different hotels. The hotel our team stayed at this Chinese New Year truly surprised me. We stayed at Jirok Lodge, part of MGM. This hotel is basically in the core area of Masai Mara National Park. You can see hippos, elephants, and giraffes leisurely strolling in the National Park without even leaving the hotel. The hotel also has a dedicated bar for viewing hippos and a platform for observing animals, offering an excellent experience. 🤍Every day, there are many Maasai women selling their handicrafts at the hotel, and you can bargain. My guest bought a medium-sized giraffe wood carving for 7 USD, which was quite a good deal. On clear nights, you can look up from your room and see a sky full of romantic stars, accompanied by the sounds of hippos – a truly magical feeling. The hotel's dining is also good, with many dishes suitable for Chinese tastes. The omelet chef even speaks excellent Chinese. The experience was absolutely fantastic. 🤍Usually, hotels in Masai Mara have restrictions on hot water for showering and electricity usage times. However, during the Chinese New Year, this hotel had no time limit for hot water showers. Electricity was only completely off from 1:30 AM to 3:00 AM, which actually didn't affect our electricity use at all. This was great. ▫️Note: 🦛: Hippos may come ashore at night to graze on the hotel lawn, so staff assistance is required to return to your room. Do not open your door and go out by yourself at night. 🐒: There are also many vervet monkeys and baboons in the hotel, which might be jumping around on your roof at night. ☕️: Afternoon tea is served at the hotel from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. 🍹: The Hippo View Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. You can go in and take photos even if you don't buy drinks. The small blackboard at the bar will list which animals have passed by that day. Sometimes there are Maasai welcome ceremonies in the evening. 🤍In Masai Mara, I currently think the scenery and the stay experience here are the best.

My stay at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly agree with its place among the Top 10 Cultural Hotels in Singapore. I rated it a perfect 5 in both cultural and premium categories—it’s a hotel that truly lives up to both themes. The moment you step into the hotel, you’re greeted by its beautiful classical and historical architecture, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. I was especially impressed by the grandeur of the building, which I believe everyone visiting Singapore should take the time to experience. Every detail of the hotel surpasses expectations: from its luxurious 5-star environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. The hotel perfectly matches its reputation for prestige and luxury, making every guest feel special. For the best experience, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby vibrant bar and restaurant scene at Boat Quay—just a short 5-minute stroll from the hotel. The area comes alive at night, and if you walk a bit further, you’ll reach Clarke Quay, another hotspot for nightlife and riverside dining. Some practical tips for your stay: · Take time to appreciate the hotel’s unique historical ambiance—there are countless photo spots around. · Check out the bars and restaurants at Boat Quay, open until late for a taste of Singapore’s nightlife. · Prepare for some walking to fully enjoy the surrounding area. I would enthusiastically recommend The Fullerton Hotel Singapore to friends based on my memorable and delightful experience. This hotel not only holds a prestigious position on the Trip.com list, but after my stay, I trust the listing more than ever. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for luxury, The Fullerton is a must-visit in Singapore. #tripbest #tripbest _reviewer

Last year, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore for the F1 Grand Prix. 🇸🇬 I expected the track to be the highlight of my weekend, but once I checked in, I found it hard to step away from the room. 😂 The star of the show? That iconic octagonal window bathtub. Soaking in the tub during the day while overlooking the Singapore skyline, with sunlight streaming into the bathroom, really makes you feel like you're on a true vacation rather than just rushing through an itinerary. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring massive windows, a separate living area, and a workspace. It’s not that trendy, flashy "influencer" style, but rather a quiet, sophisticated sense of old-school luxury. The little details truly elevated the stay: 🛁 Iconic octagonal window bathtub 🧴 Diptyque Philosykos amenities ☕ Nespresso machine 🥃 In-room Honor Bar 🌆 Unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline But the real magic was the F1 atmosphere. Marina Bay is buzzing with racing energy all day, and by night, it transforms into an entirely different world. After the race, coming back to the hotel and shutting out the noise to soak in the tub while watching the city lights... That’s when it hit me— Some hotels aren't just a place to sleep; they become a core part of your travel memories. If I come back for the Singapore F1, this place will definitely be at the top of my list. 🏎️✨ 📍The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore 📍Marina Bay, Singapore

Really moved to tears by the beauty of Changshou Lake! Just a 1-hour drive from the main city, no need to go to Yunnan to enjoy the same springtime romance. Day 1 Head straight to Baihua Island in the morning, where the tulips are blooming wildly (mid-February to March). Reds, yellows, pinks—it's truly stunning, like stepping into an oil painting. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 📸. For lunch, dine at Lewen Courtyard inside the scenic area. The Jianghu cuisine tastes authentic. Be sure to book a lake-view room in advance! Opening the window reveals the lake and mountain scenery—absolutely breathtaking ✨. In the afternoon, try jet skiing at the Water Sports Center (60 RMB/person). Racing across the lake is exhilarating, the wind blowing your hair wildly but feeling so joyful! Then take a short cruise on a traditional Chinese painting boat, 50 RMB/person. At dusk, go to the Lakeside Starry Sky Camping Base to gather around the fire and brew tea, roasting sweet potatoes and oranges while watching the sunset. It’s incredibly relaxing. Stay overnight at the Hilton Hampton by the lake. The suite is amazing 🌅—lie in bed watching the sunrise, the balcony is like a landscape painting. The room is spacious and spotless, with a bathtub for soaking, and you can even see stars reflected on the lake surface. So healing ✨. Day 2 After waking up and having breakfast, take a ride on the aerial helium balloon. Seeing the huge “Shou” (Longevity) character island from above is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless. Before checking out at noon, take another stroll by the lake, then leisurely head home. 💡 A few tips: · It’s windy by the lake at night, bring warm clothes if camping overnight. · Jet skiing and helium balloon rides depend on the weather, check the forecast before heading out. · Parking is only 6 RMB per day, unbelievably cheap. · Water activities have age restrictions; if bringing elderly or children, inquire carefully.

Guizhou truly is a place that never fails to surprise. I checked in at the Wang Yibo-inspired Shierbeihou Scenic Area with my bestie and was absolutely amazed—this trip was totally worth it! We specially went to check out the room where Wang Yibo stayed. I have to say, he really knows how to pick a spot! This place is far from your typical trendy attraction. The moment you step inside, it feels like entering an underground palace from a novel—magical and breathtaking. Visiting during the Spring Festival added a festive vibe. In the Year of the Horse, we took horse photos and soaked up the good luck vibes with my bestie, the atmosphere was perfect. Our friends all praised us for finding such a great spot✌️. Choosing this place for a trip with my bestie was absolutely the right call: ✅ The check-in points are all close by, so you can stroll around easily without tiring your legs. Walking and snapping photos with my bestie was super relaxing. ✅ You get to enjoy stunning natural scenery and experience unique cave landscapes—new and fun, unlocking a different kind of travel experience. ✅ Every snap is a masterpiece—stalactites, cliffs, valleys, every spot is a gorgeous backdrop. We couldn’t stop taking bestie photos. 🕳️ Sharing our 2-day, 1-night “Year of the Horse Journey to the Earth’s Core” with my bestie 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏: Exploring the Earth’s Core · Relaxing by the Cliff We arrived at the scenic area at noon and kicked off our joyful journey: · 1️⃣ First stop: Shuanghe Cave Exploration Inside the cave feels like a vast underground kingdom. Dark rivers rush through, stalactites grow wildly like a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow makes every step feel like walking on an unknown planet. The mystery was full-on, and holding hands with my bestie while exploring felt amazing. · 2️⃣ Second stop: Cliffside Coffee & Gypsum Cave My bestie and I felt like heroes scaling walls, sipping coffee on a wooden platform on a vertical cliff, with a deep abyss beneath us. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had to take a commemorative photo together. Next, we checked out the Gypsum Cave. Stepping inside felt like entering the palace from Frozen. The crystal-clear stalactites were stunning, especially the “Mirage” pool, whose reflection was unreal. We took amazing photos here with my bestie. · 🏠 Overnight stay: Shuanghe Guesthouse We stayed at Shuanghe Guesthouse nestled in the valley. Opening the window, we heard the babbling water and forest breeze—the atmosphere was perfect. Photos 2 and 4 show the room Wang Yibo stayed in, a must-visit for fangirls😎. 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Conquering the Cliff The Milky Way Cave via ferrata is a must-try! Hanging on a natural cliff hundreds of meters high, the visual impact was incredible—so cool! The via ferrata is a super safe iron cable climbing activity, with safety fully guaranteed. There are two routes: easy and slightly challenging. My bestie and I took on the challenge together—thrilling and fun. We even met some elementary school students on a study tour and “scaled walls” with them. The vibe was fantastic, and the trip was full of joy. ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience, a must-read for trips with your bestie: · Windproof jackets + non-slip shoes are lifesavers. It’s cold inside the caves and by the cliffs, so be sure to wear them. · The dark river section is quite dark, making phone photography difficult. Bring a small flashlight or camping lantern for easier photos and walking. · It’s best to have a phone lanyard so your phone can hang on you safely and conveniently when taking photos on the cliff📷. · For those not driving, there are direct shuttle buses from Zunyi High-Speed Rail Station/Airport to the scenic area. Check the schedule in advance for a hassle-free trip with your bestie. · If driving, just navigate to Shierbeihou Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area for a smooth ride.

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

Today, I've got some great perks to share! For those holding a JCB credit card, you can enter airport lounges in Singapore completely for free. This is a special privilege provided by the card, which grants access to many locations worldwide. If you have a layover or are flying out of Singapore, I highly recommend the SATS Premier Lounge at Changi Airport. ✈️✨ The lounge has a wonderful atmosphere and is very comfortable, with multiple seating zones and a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from—including hot meals, snacks, desserts, and various beverages. Wi-Fi and showers are also available, making it the perfect place to rest before your flight, especially for late-night departures as it's open 24 hours. 📍 It's available at Terminals 1, 2, and 3 after immigration. I recommend setting aside 1–2 hours so you can eat, relax, and charge your batteries comfortably.

🚗 Just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and stay in a secret spot embraced by mountains and lawns. This Green Wild Star in Pengzhou completely shattered my stereotypes about tent accommodations. It’s not at all like rough outdoor camping. Each room has a private terrace, full smart home features, separate wet and dry bathrooms, underfloor heating—everything you need. It’s as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, with no worries about dampness or cold. You can freely run around the 60,000-square-meter lawn. The park also has adorable alpacas and sika deer that you can feed up close, perfect for families with kids or pets. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace under the sun, surrounded by the fresh scent of grass and trees. At night, it’s even more amazing—no city light pollution, just a sky full of stars. Wrapped in a blanket, chatting with friends over barbecue, all your fatigue melts away. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Sun Bay and Huilonggou, convenient for weekend hiking and playing in the snow. For sisters wanting to escape and relax, this place is a must-go.

#singaporehotel The taxi pulled off Farrer Park Road and my wife pressed her hand against the window like a person who has spotted something worth paying attention to. She has good instincts, my wife. Better than mine, if I am being honest, which after fifteen years of marriage I have learned to be. One Farrer Hotel rose before us — modern, assured, and possessed of that particular architectural confidence that comes not from size but from precision. I noted the clean lines, the careful landscaping, the way the entrance seemed to draw you forward rather than simply permit your arrival. Inside, the air conditioning hit us with the immediate, merciful efficiency of a well-run operation. The lobby was not cavernous in the manner of hotels that mistake scale for sophistication. It was considered — every surface, every angle, every arrangement of light suggesting that someone with genuine taste had made a series of deliberate decisions and stood behind each one without apology. My wife straightened slightly, the way she does when a place has earned her respect. The room rewarded closer inspection, which is always the true test. A lesser hotel flatters at first glance and disappoints upon examination. One Farrer invited scrutiny and emerged from it intact. The bed was wide and firm. The bathroom gleamed with the honesty of surfaces that are actually clean rather than merely appearing so. From our window, the city presented itself in a register that was neither overwhelming nor indifferent — Singapore going about its considerable business, indifferent to our admiration. Wildseed, the rooftop bar and restaurant, was where the evening assumed a character of its own. We sat beneath open sky as the city cooled around us, the lights below multiplying in the dusk like intelligence gathering in a darkened room. My wife ordered something with lychee and looked at me over her glass with an expression I have spent two decades learning to read correctly. It meant: *this was a good idea.* I did not say I told you so. I have also learned that. The breakfast the following morning was a precise and generous affair — the kind of spread that respects the intelligence of its guests by offering quality rather than mere quantity. My wife returned twice for the eggs. I noted this without comment. Some observations are better kept as private victories. One Farrer Hotel is not trying to be the grandest address in Singapore. It understands something more useful — that comfort executed with intelligence and consistency is its own form of excellence, and that guests who notice quality will find it here in reliable, satisfying abundance. We noticed. We were grateful. P/s A husband's honest account.

The Edition Singapore When you come to Singapore, don’t just focus on Marina Bay Sands. This hidden gem in the Orchard Road shopping district, The Edition, is a secret favorite among savvy travelers. 📍Perfect Location The hotel is right on Orchard Boulevard, just a 5-minute walk to ION Orchard shopping mall, and downstairs is Singapore’s busiest shopping street. It’s a 15-minute taxi ride to Gardens by the Bay, about 25 minutes to Changi Airport, and a 10-minute walk to Orchard MRT station. Everything you need for dining, shopping, and entertainment is nearby, including Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Jumbo Seafood. 🛏️How to Choose Your Room The standard rooms start at 38 square meters, which is quite spacious for Singapore. I recommend upgrading to a deluxe room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline—watching the night view is very soothing. If your budget allows, go for a suite with separate living and bedroom areas and a bathroom with a standalone bathtub, perfect for photos. Be sure to book early on Trip.com, as weekends often sell out. 💰Money-Saving Tips Avoid the F1 season and Christmas-New Year period to save about a third on room rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually offer the best prices, and discounts often apply for stays longer than two nights. The hotel’s pool and gym are free for guests, so no extra charges there. ✨Why It’s Worth Staying Here The design is top-notch. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the exterior looks like a vertical garden. The lobby’s high ceilings and green walls create a strong vacation vibe as soon as you enter. The rooms feature The Edition’s signature natural wood and linen style—no flashy gimmicks, just understated luxury that quietly says, “I’m expensive but I don’t brag.” The rooftop pool is a hidden gem. The infinity pool faces the cityscape, and soaking there at dusk while watching Orchard Road’s neon lights come on is much more relaxing than the crowded Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. There’s a bar by the pool where you can order a Singapore Sling—this is the right way to enjoy a holiday. Don’t sleep in on breakfast. The semi-buffet style includes must-try Eggs Benedict and Laksa, freshly made and served hot, far better than cold buffet counters. The restaurant has great natural light, and sitting by the window in the morning to eat slowly is truly healing. The service details are very touching. Handmade chocolates are given at check-in, turndown service arranges slippers neatly and adjusts curtains to just the right light level—these small touches are well done. The front desk offers Chinese service, so no worries if your English isn’t strong. This hotel isn’t as flashy as Marina Bay Sands, but those who have stayed here know how good it is. It’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, quality holiday experience. Next time you visit Singapore, give it a chance.

If you only have one day in Singapore, don’t worry, this city is made for quick stopovers! Efficient transport, compact attractions, and sooo many things to see & eat 🤩. Here’s how to make the most of 24 hours in the Lion City 🦁: 🌅 Morning vibes at Marina Bay Sands & Merlion Kick off your adventure at the iconic Marina Bay Sands 🏙️. The futuristic architecture will blow your mind, and the views of the bay are just chef’s kiss 👌. Stroll along the waterfront until you reach the Merlion: half lion 🦁, half fish 🐟, and 100% Singapore. It’s the ultimate photo spot 📸, with skyscrapers behind you and the sea breeze in your face. 🏮 Midday stroll in Chinatown Next stop: Chinatown! This neighborhood is a burst of colors 🎨, smells 🍜, and traditions 🙏. ✨ Don’t miss: · The stunning Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (yes, it really houses a sacred relic 🛕). · Wandering through the shophouses with their bright facades 🏠. · Picking up a quirky souvenir or two 🛍️. It’s the perfect place to soak in some culture before diving back into the modern side of the city. 🍴 Lunchtime at Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre Head to Lau Pa Sat, a historic hawker centre right in the business district, where you’ll find endless food stalls offering everything from: 🍗 Hainanese chicken rice (national dish!) 🥢 Satay skewers sizzling on the grill 🍜 Laksa, a spicy noodle soup that will warm your soul 🌆 Sunset & Spectra Light Show at Marina Bay As evening falls, circle back to Marina Bay. When the lights come on, the city turns into a futuristic wonderland 🌌. At 8 pm (and again at 9 pm), catch the Spectra Light & Water Show: a dazzling performance of fountains, lasers, and music 💦🎶. Sit by the promenade, watch the skyline sparkle ✨, and let the show wow you. It’s one of those “only in Singapore” moments you’ll never forget. 🌙 Bonus: A Glimpse of Gardens by the Bay And just when you think your day is over… nope 😉. Right behind Marina Bay Sands is Gardens by the Bay, home to the futuristic Supertree Grove 🌳🌳. But hold that thought, this deserves its own post (coming next 👀). #hellohalloween #marinabaysands #singapore #1dayinsingapore

For my recent trip to Singapore, I chose the Mercure Singapore Bugis (Waterloo Street) as my home base. The biggest draw was definitely the location—it's incredibly convenient. Both Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are just a few minutes away on foot, making it a breeze to head over to Orchard Road for some shopping or to Marina Bay for a night out. Plus, there are hawker centers and two major malls right nearby, so grabbing authentic local eats or picking up souvenirs is totally hassle-free. The hotel is centrally located at 78 Waterloo Street. It’s nestled between two MRT stations in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for a late-night stroll. You can easily walk to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park. If you're not in the mood for a long walk, popular breakfast spots like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are just around the corner, offering everything from classic Singaporean breakfasts to local fusion dishes. Getting to the heart of the matter—while the room isn’t the largest, the design is compact and modern. It’s genuinely clean and cozy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of morning sunlight, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a city view to start the day. The amenities are surprisingly complete; they’ve got all sorts of charging ports (Type-C and USB included) and even a filtered water system, so you don't have to keep buying bottled water. A real standout feature is the in-room computer equipped with YouTube and Netflix—you’ll never be bored even if you decide to stay in for the night. On the second floor, there’s a gym and a swimming pool, ideal for a morning workout or a relaxing evening dip. The self-service check-in and check-out process is quick and easy, and most of the front desk staff are bilingual in Mandarin and English, making communication effortless. Any issues are resolved almost instantly. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I’d recommend it to both leisure and business travelers, especially those who value transit convenience and comfort. Staying in this area means you can get anywhere within 15 minutes!

If you're visiting Singapore and love baked goods, Tiong Bahru Bakery is an absolute must-visit. Long celebrated for its freshly baked croissants and French-style pastries, the bakery offers signature treats like the classic Croissant, Kouign-Amann, Pain au Chocolat, and a variety of filled croissants. They perfectly nail that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture, paired with the rich aroma of premium butter. Beyond their pastries, the cafe serves up great coffee and a diverse brunch menu, making it the perfect spot to kick off your day or take a breather while exploring. With its cozy, laid-back vibe and multiple locations across the city, it's no wonder this spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Gentle river breeze, lush green forest, a secluded mountain Seize the moment of greenery, step into the forest valley There are books for the learned, readings for the common folk, and journeys for the world One of the last forgotten ancient villages on the banks of the Jialing River The Chongqing version of the Wizard of Oz This place feels like a fairy tale world forgotten by time The city's busy people are deeply enchanted by it Suffering and joy intertwined from top to bottom Though not in hell, the eyes are in heaven A thousand-layered stairway to the sky, the immortal has gone but people linger Yes, just left, already turning back to miss this fairy tale Historical context of Jingangbei Ancient Village 1. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty: due to coal mining in Jinyun Mountain, it became an important coal transport dock on the Jialing River, bustling with merchants, inns, and teahouses; 2. During the War of Resistance: it became a refuge capital, where hundreds of cultural celebrities like Lao She, Liang Shuming, and Liang Shiqiu lived; Lao She completed "Four Generations Under One Roof" in the "Mouse House," and institutions like the Central Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute and Mianren Academy were established here; 3. Modern times: coal transport declined and the village gradually quieted; in 2018, a "acupuncture-style" micro-renovation began, and after restoration in 2021, the street reopened to the public for free. 🌲 Buildings are built along the mountain, with winding old streets paved with bluestone slabs, preserving many wooden blue-tile houses from the Qing to the Republic of China era (such as the Yao Family Courtyard and the Xiong Family Courtyard); the forest coverage is very high, streams run through the village, and hot spring resources sharing the same source as Beiwengquan, combined with the Jialing River trail, earning it the nickname "Chongqing's Wizard of Oz." There is a large parking lot near the entrance, making self-driving very convenient. The entire area is located in the Jinyun Mountain Hot Spring area, with many hot springs in and around the village, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind, a natural oxygen bar. P.S. The background in the first picture had a cement monument of Jingangbei Wizard of Oz, which I photoshopped out because it felt out of place—there really is a cement inscription monument on site.

CABN X Kangaroo Island: Whispering with Nature by the Coast If Kangaroo Island has a model for “making home in the scenery,” it must be CABN’s five eco-cabins.

Dear friends! Forget the crowded Jingdezhen~ Wangxian Valley in Shangrao, Jiangxi is the true secret realm of immortals! Buildings perched on cliffs, waterfalls forming rivers, and at night the lights shine like the immortal stage from "Cang Lan Jue." With direct high-speed rail access and featured in National Geographic, this 2-day 1-night guide will help you unlock this breathtaking experience~ 🚗 How to get there? The transportation guide is super simple · High-speed rail: Direct trains to "Shangrao Station" from various places. After exiting, take the scenic area shuttle bus (30 RMB/person, 1 hour to the visitor center), frequent departures so no waiting. · Self-driving/taxi: Taxi from Shangrao Station costs about 150 RMB, suitable for groups (can carry luggage + costume props), navigate to "Wangxian Valley Visitor Center." · Inside the scenic area: Walk! Many steps but not steep, just wear comfortable shoes. The scenery along the way makes walking and taking photos enjoyable. 🏡 Staying overnight is the right way to experience it You must stay inside the scenic area! Tickets are valid for 2 days, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone in the early morning and at night: · Wangxian Valley homestay cluster: Choose the "Cliff Homestay" (open the window to waterfalls + hanging buildings, fall asleep to the sound of water at night); for families with kids, choose "Workshop Street Homestay" (close to the snack street, convenient for buying treats). · Hidden perk: Guests can use a special homestay passage to avoid the main entrance crowds. At 6 AM, go to Mingchan Alley to shoot the morning mist, feeling like stepping into an empty immortal world. 📸 2-day 1-night itinerary + photo spots Day 1: Explore the valley by day, chase the lights by night · 10:00 Qingyun Bridge: Stand in the middle of the covered bridge to shoot the triple waterfall from above. Use slow shutter to make the water silky; when sunny, you can see a rainbow. · 11:30 Baiwei Street: Eat Jiangxi rice noodles (non-spicy version available), Dengzhan cake, buy osmanthus cake for kids, and parents try fermented glutinous rice balls. · 14:00 Baige Bridge: Capture the panoramic view of the cliff hanging buildings. Wear ancient costumes and stand in the middle of the bridge with green mountains and waterfalls behind you for a full martial arts vibe. · 16:00 Lanyue Bridge: Secure your spot before the blue hour!

Dress code: Wear Hanfu or new Chinese style (rentals available in the scenic area, 100 RMB/set including hairstyle); if you’re cold-sensitive, wear a thin down jacket under the Hanfu coat (Jiangxi winters are chilly in the mornings and evenings but won’t affect photos). 2. Performance schedule: "Twelve Faces of Nuo Mask" at 11:00/15:00 (at the opera stage square), "Han Wedding" at 14:30 (in front of Yang Mansion, phoenix crown and embroidered robe are very photogenic), bonfire party at 19:30 (central square), arrive 10 minutes early to secure a spot. 3. Family-friendly: Steps are many but gentle, strollers can be used (some sections require lifting); hot water points are available in the scenic area for drinking anytime. The beauty of Wangxian Valley is the morning mist, the afternoon waterfalls, the night lights, and the immersive feeling of "every step a fairy tale." Tired of crowded ancient towns? This place is definitely the right choice!

On this trip to Singapore, I finally checked into the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, which so many friends have raved about! You get a panoramic view of Marina Bay—the scenery is absolutely stunning 🌃 It’s no wonder people say you’ll regret not staying here when visiting Singapore. Here is my complete guide to the experience. 📍 A prime location with a bird's-eye view The hotel is located at 6 Raffles Blvd, just a 5-minute walk from Promenade MRT Station, making travel very convenient! Famous landmarks like the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay are all within a 15-minute walk. There's a mall and food street right downstairs, and a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient for late-night snacks ✅ 🌿 A hotel full of design and ambiance The fourth-floor lobby is a must-visit! Lush, cascading greenery paired with a mirrored pool makes every photo look like an Instagram-worthy shot. The rooms come with huge balconies. If you stay on a high floor, you can take in the views of the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool and the Merlion fountain. When the light show starts at night, pour yourself a drink on the small balcony—the vibe is just perfect. 💎 A room experience full of thoughtful details TWG tea bags and a capsule coffee machine are standard in every room, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. The toiletries are from a niche Australian brand with a soothing, light citrus scent. I especially love the layout with the 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows and corner sofa—soaking up the sun and enjoying the city view during the day, and turning it into a private viewing deck at night. It’s so comfortable I didn't want to leave! 🌊 Hidden gem photo spots · Rooftop pool: It's less crowded and the water is clean. You can capture the blue sky and Marina Bay Sands in the same frame here (I recommend coming before 10:00 AM) · Fourth-floor green corridor: The lighting is best between 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Wearing light-colored clothing makes for great photos · Room balcony: You can capture backlit silhouettes at sunset, and if you bring a tripod, you can even shoot time-lapse footage 🍽 Breakfast lovers, you must try this Make sure to set aside plenty of time to enjoy the semi-buffet breakfast! The made-to-order pancakes with durian sauce, Hainanese chicken rice, and Laksa are all authentic. The outdoor seating is surrounded by greenery, making you feel like you're dining in a garden. You must try the signature Eggs Benedict—the runny yolk is amazing 💯 📸 Nearby walking itinerary: Day 1: Hotel > Merlion Park > The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands > Night view at Gardens by the Bay Day 2: Michelin-starred food in Chinatown > Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel > Night cruise at Clarke Quay (Most of these spots are within walking distance!) ⚠️ Practical tips: 1. For the deposit, credit card pre-authorization is preferred; the refund process for cash deposits is slower 2. Higher floors have better soundproofing. You can request "Marina View" when booking 3. The pool is open until 10:00 PM. Remember to bring a bathrobe for night swimming 4. Download the Grab app; it's much more cost-effective than regular taxis Overall, this place perfectly blends urban bustle with a relaxing vacation vibe. When you're tired from exploring, you can return to the hotel anytime to relax on the balcony and enjoy the view; when you head out, you can immediately experience the excitement of the city. In my opinion, it's a hotel in Singapore that is well worth staying at ✨

🤍Due to work, I've been to Masai Mara many times and stayed in many different hotels. The hotel our team stayed at this Chinese New Year truly surprised me. We stayed at Jirok Lodge, part of MGM. This hotel is basically in the core area of Masai Mara National Park. You can see hippos, elephants, and giraffes leisurely strolling in the National Park without even leaving the hotel. The hotel also has a dedicated bar for viewing hippos and a platform for observing animals, offering an excellent experience. 🤍Every day, there are many Maasai women selling their handicrafts at the hotel, and you can bargain. My guest bought a medium-sized giraffe wood carving for 7 USD, which was quite a good deal. On clear nights, you can look up from your room and see a sky full of romantic stars, accompanied by the sounds of hippos – a truly magical feeling. The hotel's dining is also good, with many dishes suitable for Chinese tastes. The omelet chef even speaks excellent Chinese. The experience was absolutely fantastic. 🤍Usually, hotels in Masai Mara have restrictions on hot water for showering and electricity usage times. However, during the Chinese New Year, this hotel had no time limit for hot water showers. Electricity was only completely off from 1:30 AM to 3:00 AM, which actually didn't affect our electricity use at all. This was great. ▫️Note: 🦛: Hippos may come ashore at night to graze on the hotel lawn, so staff assistance is required to return to your room. Do not open your door and go out by yourself at night. 🐒: There are also many vervet monkeys and baboons in the hotel, which might be jumping around on your roof at night. ☕️: Afternoon tea is served at the hotel from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. 🍹: The Hippo View Bar is open daily from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. You can go in and take photos even if you don't buy drinks. The small blackboard at the bar will list which animals have passed by that day. Sometimes there are Maasai welcome ceremonies in the evening. 🤍In Masai Mara, I currently think the scenery and the stay experience here are the best.

My stay at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore was nothing short of exceptional, and I wholeheartedly agree with its place among the Top 10 Cultural Hotels in Singapore. I rated it a perfect 5 in both cultural and premium categories—it’s a hotel that truly lives up to both themes. The moment you step into the hotel, you’re greeted by its beautiful classical and historical architecture, making it more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. I was especially impressed by the grandeur of the building, which I believe everyone visiting Singapore should take the time to experience. Every detail of the hotel surpasses expectations: from its luxurious 5-star environment, complete facilities, and attentive service. The hotel perfectly matches its reputation for prestige and luxury, making every guest feel special. For the best experience, don’t miss out on exploring the nearby vibrant bar and restaurant scene at Boat Quay—just a short 5-minute stroll from the hotel. The area comes alive at night, and if you walk a bit further, you’ll reach Clarke Quay, another hotspot for nightlife and riverside dining. Some practical tips for your stay: · Take time to appreciate the hotel’s unique historical ambiance—there are countless photo spots around. · Check out the bars and restaurants at Boat Quay, open until late for a taste of Singapore’s nightlife. · Prepare for some walking to fully enjoy the surrounding area. I would enthusiastically recommend The Fullerton Hotel Singapore to friends based on my memorable and delightful experience. This hotel not only holds a prestigious position on the Trip.com list, but after my stay, I trust the listing more than ever. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for luxury, The Fullerton is a must-visit in Singapore. #tripbest #tripbest _reviewer

Last year, I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore for the F1 Grand Prix. 🇸🇬 I expected the track to be the highlight of my weekend, but once I checked in, I found it hard to step away from the room. 😂 The star of the show? That iconic octagonal window bathtub. Soaking in the tub during the day while overlooking the Singapore skyline, with sunlight streaming into the bathroom, really makes you feel like you're on a true vacation rather than just rushing through an itinerary. The room is incredibly spacious, featuring massive windows, a separate living area, and a workspace. It’s not that trendy, flashy "influencer" style, but rather a quiet, sophisticated sense of old-school luxury. The little details truly elevated the stay: 🛁 Iconic octagonal window bathtub 🧴 Diptyque Philosykos amenities ☕ Nespresso machine 🥃 In-room Honor Bar 🌆 Unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline But the real magic was the F1 atmosphere. Marina Bay is buzzing with racing energy all day, and by night, it transforms into an entirely different world. After the race, coming back to the hotel and shutting out the noise to soak in the tub while watching the city lights... That’s when it hit me— Some hotels aren't just a place to sleep; they become a core part of your travel memories. If I come back for the Singapore F1, this place will definitely be at the top of my list. 🏎️✨ 📍The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore 📍Marina Bay, Singapore

Really moved to tears by the beauty of Changshou Lake! Just a 1-hour drive from the main city, no need to go to Yunnan to enjoy the same springtime romance. Day 1 Head straight to Baihua Island in the morning, where the tulips are blooming wildly (mid-February to March). Reds, yellows, pinks—it's truly stunning, like stepping into an oil painting. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy 📸. For lunch, dine at Lewen Courtyard inside the scenic area. The Jianghu cuisine tastes authentic. Be sure to book a lake-view room in advance! Opening the window reveals the lake and mountain scenery—absolutely breathtaking ✨. In the afternoon, try jet skiing at the Water Sports Center (60 RMB/person). Racing across the lake is exhilarating, the wind blowing your hair wildly but feeling so joyful! Then take a short cruise on a traditional Chinese painting boat, 50 RMB/person. At dusk, go to the Lakeside Starry Sky Camping Base to gather around the fire and brew tea, roasting sweet potatoes and oranges while watching the sunset. It’s incredibly relaxing. Stay overnight at the Hilton Hampton by the lake. The suite is amazing 🌅—lie in bed watching the sunrise, the balcony is like a landscape painting. The room is spacious and spotless, with a bathtub for soaking, and you can even see stars reflected on the lake surface. So healing ✨. Day 2 After waking up and having breakfast, take a ride on the aerial helium balloon. Seeing the huge “Shou” (Longevity) character island from above is truly breathtaking and leaves you speechless. Before checking out at noon, take another stroll by the lake, then leisurely head home. 💡 A few tips: · It’s windy by the lake at night, bring warm clothes if camping overnight. · Jet skiing and helium balloon rides depend on the weather, check the forecast before heading out. · Parking is only 6 RMB per day, unbelievably cheap. · Water activities have age restrictions; if bringing elderly or children, inquire carefully.

Guizhou truly is a place that never fails to surprise. I checked in at the Wang Yibo-inspired Shierbeihou Scenic Area with my bestie and was absolutely amazed—this trip was totally worth it! We specially went to check out the room where Wang Yibo stayed. I have to say, he really knows how to pick a spot! This place is far from your typical trendy attraction. The moment you step inside, it feels like entering an underground palace from a novel—magical and breathtaking. Visiting during the Spring Festival added a festive vibe. In the Year of the Horse, we took horse photos and soaked up the good luck vibes with my bestie, the atmosphere was perfect. Our friends all praised us for finding such a great spot✌️. Choosing this place for a trip with my bestie was absolutely the right call: ✅ The check-in points are all close by, so you can stroll around easily without tiring your legs. Walking and snapping photos with my bestie was super relaxing. ✅ You get to enjoy stunning natural scenery and experience unique cave landscapes—new and fun, unlocking a different kind of travel experience. ✅ Every snap is a masterpiece—stalactites, cliffs, valleys, every spot is a gorgeous backdrop. We couldn’t stop taking bestie photos. 🕳️ Sharing our 2-day, 1-night “Year of the Horse Journey to the Earth’s Core” with my bestie 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟏: Exploring the Earth’s Core · Relaxing by the Cliff We arrived at the scenic area at noon and kicked off our joyful journey: · 1️⃣ First stop: Shuanghe Cave Exploration Inside the cave feels like a vast underground kingdom. Dark rivers rush through, stalactites grow wildly like a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow makes every step feel like walking on an unknown planet. The mystery was full-on, and holding hands with my bestie while exploring felt amazing. · 2️⃣ Second stop: Cliffside Coffee & Gypsum Cave My bestie and I felt like heroes scaling walls, sipping coffee on a wooden platform on a vertical cliff, with a deep abyss beneath us. The atmosphere was incredible, and we had to take a commemorative photo together. Next, we checked out the Gypsum Cave. Stepping inside felt like entering the palace from Frozen. The crystal-clear stalactites were stunning, especially the “Mirage” pool, whose reflection was unreal. We took amazing photos here with my bestie. · 🏠 Overnight stay: Shuanghe Guesthouse We stayed at Shuanghe Guesthouse nestled in the valley. Opening the window, we heard the babbling water and forest breeze—the atmosphere was perfect. Photos 2 and 4 show the room Wang Yibo stayed in, a must-visit for fangirls😎. 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝟐: Conquering the Cliff The Milky Way Cave via ferrata is a must-try! Hanging on a natural cliff hundreds of meters high, the visual impact was incredible—so cool! The via ferrata is a super safe iron cable climbing activity, with safety fully guaranteed. There are two routes: easy and slightly challenging. My bestie and I took on the challenge together—thrilling and fun. We even met some elementary school students on a study tour and “scaled walls” with them. The vibe was fantastic, and the trip was full of joy. ⚠️ Important tips from personal experience, a must-read for trips with your bestie: · Windproof jackets + non-slip shoes are lifesavers. It’s cold inside the caves and by the cliffs, so be sure to wear them. · The dark river section is quite dark, making phone photography difficult. Bring a small flashlight or camping lantern for easier photos and walking. · It’s best to have a phone lanyard so your phone can hang on you safely and conveniently when taking photos on the cliff📷. · For those not driving, there are direct shuttle buses from Zunyi High-Speed Rail Station/Airport to the scenic area. Check the schedule in advance for a hassle-free trip with your bestie. · If driving, just navigate to Shierbeihou Shuanghe Valley Scenic Area for a smooth ride.

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

Today, I've got some great perks to share! For those holding a JCB credit card, you can enter airport lounges in Singapore completely for free. This is a special privilege provided by the card, which grants access to many locations worldwide. If you have a layover or are flying out of Singapore, I highly recommend the SATS Premier Lounge at Changi Airport. ✈️✨ The lounge has a wonderful atmosphere and is very comfortable, with multiple seating zones and a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from—including hot meals, snacks, desserts, and various beverages. Wi-Fi and showers are also available, making it the perfect place to rest before your flight, especially for late-night departures as it's open 24 hours. 📍 It's available at Terminals 1, 2, and 3 after immigration. I recommend setting aside 1–2 hours so you can eat, relax, and charge your batteries comfortably.

🚗 Just a 1.5-hour drive from Chengdu, you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and stay in a secret spot embraced by mountains and lawns. This Green Wild Star in Pengzhou completely shattered my stereotypes about tent accommodations. It’s not at all like rough outdoor camping. Each room has a private terrace, full smart home features, separate wet and dry bathrooms, underfloor heating—everything you need. It’s as comfortable as a star-rated hotel, with no worries about dampness or cold. You can freely run around the 60,000-square-meter lawn. The park also has adorable alpacas and sika deer that you can feed up close, perfect for families with kids or pets. In the afternoon, enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace under the sun, surrounded by the fresh scent of grass and trees. At night, it’s even more amazing—no city light pollution, just a sky full of stars. Wrapped in a blanket, chatting with friends over barbecue, all your fatigue melts away. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Sun Bay and Huilonggou, convenient for weekend hiking and playing in the snow. For sisters wanting to escape and relax, this place is a must-go.

#singaporehotel The taxi pulled off Farrer Park Road and my wife pressed her hand against the window like a person who has spotted something worth paying attention to. She has good instincts, my wife. Better than mine, if I am being honest, which after fifteen years of marriage I have learned to be. One Farrer Hotel rose before us — modern, assured, and possessed of that particular architectural confidence that comes not from size but from precision. I noted the clean lines, the careful landscaping, the way the entrance seemed to draw you forward rather than simply permit your arrival. Inside, the air conditioning hit us with the immediate, merciful efficiency of a well-run operation. The lobby was not cavernous in the manner of hotels that mistake scale for sophistication. It was considered — every surface, every angle, every arrangement of light suggesting that someone with genuine taste had made a series of deliberate decisions and stood behind each one without apology. My wife straightened slightly, the way she does when a place has earned her respect. The room rewarded closer inspection, which is always the true test. A lesser hotel flatters at first glance and disappoints upon examination. One Farrer invited scrutiny and emerged from it intact. The bed was wide and firm. The bathroom gleamed with the honesty of surfaces that are actually clean rather than merely appearing so. From our window, the city presented itself in a register that was neither overwhelming nor indifferent — Singapore going about its considerable business, indifferent to our admiration. Wildseed, the rooftop bar and restaurant, was where the evening assumed a character of its own. We sat beneath open sky as the city cooled around us, the lights below multiplying in the dusk like intelligence gathering in a darkened room. My wife ordered something with lychee and looked at me over her glass with an expression I have spent two decades learning to read correctly. It meant: *this was a good idea.* I did not say I told you so. I have also learned that. The breakfast the following morning was a precise and generous affair — the kind of spread that respects the intelligence of its guests by offering quality rather than mere quantity. My wife returned twice for the eggs. I noted this without comment. Some observations are better kept as private victories. One Farrer Hotel is not trying to be the grandest address in Singapore. It understands something more useful — that comfort executed with intelligence and consistency is its own form of excellence, and that guests who notice quality will find it here in reliable, satisfying abundance. We noticed. We were grateful. P/s A husband's honest account.

The Edition Singapore When you come to Singapore, don’t just focus on Marina Bay Sands. This hidden gem in the Orchard Road shopping district, The Edition, is a secret favorite among savvy travelers. 📍Perfect Location The hotel is right on Orchard Boulevard, just a 5-minute walk to ION Orchard shopping mall, and downstairs is Singapore’s busiest shopping street. It’s a 15-minute taxi ride to Gardens by the Bay, about 25 minutes to Changi Airport, and a 10-minute walk to Orchard MRT station. Everything you need for dining, shopping, and entertainment is nearby, including Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Jumbo Seafood. 🛏️How to Choose Your Room The standard rooms start at 38 square meters, which is quite spacious for Singapore. I recommend upgrading to a deluxe room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the city skyline—watching the night view is very soothing. If your budget allows, go for a suite with separate living and bedroom areas and a bathroom with a standalone bathtub, perfect for photos. Be sure to book early on Trip.com, as weekends often sell out. 💰Money-Saving Tips Avoid the F1 season and Christmas-New Year period to save about a third on room rates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays usually offer the best prices, and discounts often apply for stays longer than two nights. The hotel’s pool and gym are free for guests, so no extra charges there. ✨Why It’s Worth Staying Here The design is top-notch. Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the exterior looks like a vertical garden. The lobby’s high ceilings and green walls create a strong vacation vibe as soon as you enter. The rooms feature The Edition’s signature natural wood and linen style—no flashy gimmicks, just understated luxury that quietly says, “I’m expensive but I don’t brag.” The rooftop pool is a hidden gem. The infinity pool faces the cityscape, and soaking there at dusk while watching Orchard Road’s neon lights come on is much more relaxing than the crowded Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. There’s a bar by the pool where you can order a Singapore Sling—this is the right way to enjoy a holiday. Don’t sleep in on breakfast. The semi-buffet style includes must-try Eggs Benedict and Laksa, freshly made and served hot, far better than cold buffet counters. The restaurant has great natural light, and sitting by the window in the morning to eat slowly is truly healing. The service details are very touching. Handmade chocolates are given at check-in, turndown service arranges slippers neatly and adjusts curtains to just the right light level—these small touches are well done. The front desk offers Chinese service, so no worries if your English isn’t strong. This hotel isn’t as flashy as Marina Bay Sands, but those who have stayed here know how good it is. It’s perfect for travelers who want a quiet, quality holiday experience. Next time you visit Singapore, give it a chance.

If you only have one day in Singapore, don’t worry, this city is made for quick stopovers! Efficient transport, compact attractions, and sooo many things to see & eat 🤩. Here’s how to make the most of 24 hours in the Lion City 🦁: 🌅 Morning vibes at Marina Bay Sands & Merlion Kick off your adventure at the iconic Marina Bay Sands 🏙️. The futuristic architecture will blow your mind, and the views of the bay are just chef’s kiss 👌. Stroll along the waterfront until you reach the Merlion: half lion 🦁, half fish 🐟, and 100% Singapore. It’s the ultimate photo spot 📸, with skyscrapers behind you and the sea breeze in your face. 🏮 Midday stroll in Chinatown Next stop: Chinatown! This neighborhood is a burst of colors 🎨, smells 🍜, and traditions 🙏. ✨ Don’t miss: · The stunning Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (yes, it really houses a sacred relic 🛕). · Wandering through the shophouses with their bright facades 🏠. · Picking up a quirky souvenir or two 🛍️. It’s the perfect place to soak in some culture before diving back into the modern side of the city. 🍴 Lunchtime at Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre Head to Lau Pa Sat, a historic hawker centre right in the business district, where you’ll find endless food stalls offering everything from: 🍗 Hainanese chicken rice (national dish!) 🥢 Satay skewers sizzling on the grill 🍜 Laksa, a spicy noodle soup that will warm your soul 🌆 Sunset & Spectra Light Show at Marina Bay As evening falls, circle back to Marina Bay. When the lights come on, the city turns into a futuristic wonderland 🌌. At 8 pm (and again at 9 pm), catch the Spectra Light & Water Show: a dazzling performance of fountains, lasers, and music 💦🎶. Sit by the promenade, watch the skyline sparkle ✨, and let the show wow you. It’s one of those “only in Singapore” moments you’ll never forget. 🌙 Bonus: A Glimpse of Gardens by the Bay And just when you think your day is over… nope 😉. Right behind Marina Bay Sands is Gardens by the Bay, home to the futuristic Supertree Grove 🌳🌳. But hold that thought, this deserves its own post (coming next 👀). #hellohalloween #marinabaysands #singapore #1dayinsingapore

For my recent trip to Singapore, I chose the Mercure Singapore Bugis (Waterloo Street) as my home base. The biggest draw was definitely the location—it's incredibly convenient. Both Bugis and Bencoolen MRT stations are just a few minutes away on foot, making it a breeze to head over to Orchard Road for some shopping or to Marina Bay for a night out. Plus, there are hawker centers and two major malls right nearby, so grabbing authentic local eats or picking up souvenirs is totally hassle-free. The hotel is centrally located at 78 Waterloo Street. It’s nestled between two MRT stations in a safe neighborhood that's perfect for a late-night stroll. You can easily walk to the National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park. If you're not in the mood for a long walk, popular breakfast spots like Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are just around the corner, offering everything from classic Singaporean breakfasts to local fusion dishes. Getting to the heart of the matter—while the room isn’t the largest, the design is compact and modern. It’s genuinely clean and cozy, and the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of morning sunlight, which is perfect for someone like me who loves a city view to start the day. The amenities are surprisingly complete; they’ve got all sorts of charging ports (Type-C and USB included) and even a filtered water system, so you don't have to keep buying bottled water. A real standout feature is the in-room computer equipped with YouTube and Netflix—you’ll never be bored even if you decide to stay in for the night. On the second floor, there’s a gym and a swimming pool, ideal for a morning workout or a relaxing evening dip. The self-service check-in and check-out process is quick and easy, and most of the front desk staff are bilingual in Mandarin and English, making communication effortless. Any issues are resolved almost instantly. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I’d recommend it to both leisure and business travelers, especially those who value transit convenience and comfort. Staying in this area means you can get anywhere within 15 minutes!

If you're visiting Singapore and love baked goods, Tiong Bahru Bakery is an absolute must-visit. Long celebrated for its freshly baked croissants and French-style pastries, the bakery offers signature treats like the classic Croissant, Kouign-Amann, Pain au Chocolat, and a variety of filled croissants. They perfectly nail that crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture, paired with the rich aroma of premium butter. Beyond their pastries, the cafe serves up great coffee and a diverse brunch menu, making it the perfect spot to kick off your day or take a breather while exploring. With its cozy, laid-back vibe and multiple locations across the city, it's no wonder this spot is a favorite among both locals and tourists.

Gentle river breeze, lush green forest, a secluded mountain Seize the moment of greenery, step into the forest valley There are books for the learned, readings for the common folk, and journeys for the world One of the last forgotten ancient villages on the banks of the Jialing River The Chongqing version of the Wizard of Oz This place feels like a fairy tale world forgotten by time The city's busy people are deeply enchanted by it Suffering and joy intertwined from top to bottom Though not in hell, the eyes are in heaven A thousand-layered stairway to the sky, the immortal has gone but people linger Yes, just left, already turning back to miss this fairy tale Historical context of Jingangbei Ancient Village 1. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty: due to coal mining in Jinyun Mountain, it became an important coal transport dock on the Jialing River, bustling with merchants, inns, and teahouses; 2. During the War of Resistance: it became a refuge capital, where hundreds of cultural celebrities like Lao She, Liang Shuming, and Liang Shiqiu lived; Lao She completed "Four Generations Under One Roof" in the "Mouse House," and institutions like the Central Academy of Sciences Botanical Institute and Mianren Academy were established here; 3. Modern times: coal transport declined and the village gradually quieted; in 2018, a "acupuncture-style" micro-renovation began, and after restoration in 2021, the street reopened to the public for free. 🌲 Buildings are built along the mountain, with winding old streets paved with bluestone slabs, preserving many wooden blue-tile houses from the Qing to the Republic of China era (such as the Yao Family Courtyard and the Xiong Family Courtyard); the forest coverage is very high, streams run through the village, and hot spring resources sharing the same source as Beiwengquan, combined with the Jialing River trail, earning it the nickname "Chongqing's Wizard of Oz." There is a large parking lot near the entrance, making self-driving very convenient. The entire area is located in the Jinyun Mountain Hot Spring area, with many hot springs in and around the village, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind, a natural oxygen bar. P.S. The background in the first picture had a cement monument of Jingangbei Wizard of Oz, which I photoshopped out because it felt out of place—there really is a cement inscription monument on site.

🛫 China Southern Airlines operates year-round direct flights from Guangzhou to Adelaide; Cathay Pacific has resumed seasonal direct flights from Hong Kong to Adelaide; China Eastern Airlines will launch direct flights from Shanghai to Adelaide on June 20. If you want to explore Kangaroo Island, choosing a two-day or longer in-depth trip with an overnight stay or more is better than a one-day tour to truly savor the island's charm. Today, we have gathered three unique hidden gem accommodations on the island, so there’s sure to be one that meets all your expectations for Kangaroo Island! 🗺️ There are two ways to get to Kangaroo Island ✈️ From Adelaide Airport to Kingscote Airport on Kangaroo Island, the flight takes about 30 minutes. ⛴️ From Cape Jervis, you can take the SeaLink ferry to Kangaroo Island, which takes about 45 minutes. (You can buy a ferry ticket for your car to bring it on board, or rent a car after arriving on the island.) CABN X Kangaroo Island: Whispering with Nature by the Coast If Kangaroo Island has a model for “making home in the scenery,” it must be CABN’s five eco-cabins. The luxury here is never ostentatious: outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight filters through the leaves casting moving patterns on the floor, instantly soothing travel fatigue; inside, the rooms feature king-size beds with comfortable mattresses and cloud-like bedding, healing all weariness from the journey. Southern Ocean Lodge: On the Cliff’s Edge, Touching the Pulse of the Southern Ocean Southern Ocean Lodge is located at Hanson Bay, nestled between mountain and sea, with every room offering stunning views of the national park. With only 25 rooms, the design ensures guests cannot see each other, allowing for a true sense of ownership and immersion in nature—a genuine ocean-view utopia. Seafront Holiday Park: Happy Family Time by the Sea The choices here are dazzling: want to experience refined camping? Six eco-luxury tents hidden in eucalyptus trees offer shimmering views of Hog Bay when you pull back the curtains; traveling with kids?
