With the opening of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou High-Speed Railway, more and more hidden gems are being discovered.
Lili Ancient Town is everything I imagined an ancient town to be.
After seeing so many commercialized ancient towns, I realized how rare Lili is. There are no cookie-cutter photo spots or grilled squid stalls here. Instead, you'll find small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses with flying eaves. You'll see women washing clothes by the river, old men sunbathing, and shop owners busy preparing lunch.
Lili's history dates back 2,500 years. As the doors and windows creak open, I cross more than 20 stone bridges and 150 alleys. The old dreams sheltered by the misty corridors fill me with energy as I immerse myself in the ancient town's rustic charm.

💰 Admission: Free (some attractions charge a fee)
🚘 Self-driving: 1 hour from Suzhou city center

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

It is located in "Zhi'an Garden" in the Flower World of Chencun, Foshan.
Take Foshan Metro Line 2 to "Flower World" Station, and walk a few minutes from Exit C.
Olive trees are planted here.
The trees have a peculiar shape, and the branches are pruned into shapes.
The leaves are gray-green and white. 🤔
They look magical and special.
The photos are quite good, suitable for portraits.
"Olive Garden" is about 2 km away from here.
There are also olive trees here, and the lawn is green.
There are more than 10 Maitreya kapok trees.
The trunk looks like a vase, which is really cute.
Each tree is supported by several steel pipes.
When taking photos, try to avoid overlapping people and steel pipes.

If you're visiting Malacca for the first time, copy this one-day itinerary.
Malaysia is visa-free, so I decided to take a spontaneous trip.
I finally visited Malacca, a place I've longed to visit, and it was truly amazing.
I really like this colorful, dopamine-filled, Southeast Asian-style small town.
It feels like being in Venice on the sea.
I wandered aimlessly through the streets, taking photos, trying local food, daydreaming by the river, and enjoying the sea breeze. It was so relaxing.

✅ Dutch Square
The red buildings and exotic atmosphere of the square make for great photos. There are also many museums nearby where you can learn about the local history and culture.
-
✅ A Famosa
Locals call it the "gate without walls." At the top of the hill is St. Paul's Church, where you can learn about the colonial history from 150 years ago. The view of Malacca from the top of the hill is beautiful.
-
✅ Sultan's Palace
It houses the Malacca Cultural Museum, which displays the daily items used in the palace.
-
✅ Menara Taming Sari
A super cool observation tower that rotates and rises to a high point, offering a panoramic view of Malacca.
-
✅ Jonker Street
A street with a Southeast Asian vibe, beautiful architecture, and lots of delicious snacks. Jonker Street is also great for shopping, with many old specialty stores, craft shops, and local clothing stores, perfect for buying souvenirs. There are also many cafes and milk tea shops on this street, so you can take a break at a cafe when you're tired.

⭐️⭐️Malacca Travel Tips
1⃣️ Malaysia is visa-free. Remember to fill out the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) 3 days before departure.
2⃣️ There are direct buses from Kuala Lumpur Airport, or you can take a bus from TBS Bus Terminal. The journey takes about 2 hours, with many departures. Tickets cost 11-14 RM.
3⃣️ Malacca has a night market on Jonker Street every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which is very lively.
4⃣️ Malacca is not big, so you can do a one-day round trip from Kuala Lumpur. If you have more time, you can enjoy a leisurely two-day trip.
5⃣️ For accommodation, I recommend staying on Jonker Street or along the Malacca River. My room had a view of the canal, which was amazing.
6⃣️ You can use Grab or Bolt for taxis, which is very convenient.
7⃣️ Many shops in Malacca only accept cash or local cards, so remember to bring enough cash.

♨️ Half Tatami Double Private Hot Spring Courtyard
A classic double private hot spring courtyard, I always like to stay in rooms with tatami mats, because the photos taken on the tatami mats are always great. The room facilities include a XGIMI projector and giant screen, TOTO toilet, and smart home facilities. Just call "Xiaodu" to control the curtains, lights, and other facilities. The private hot spring pools are available indoors and outdoors, and the temperature can be adjusted. After a soak, I feel so relaxed, and then I can lie in bed and watch a movie in the evening. I can't live without a private hot spring in winter, and I have to stay with Yipiao forever.

♨️ Beijing Shuicheng Yipiao Private Hot Spring Resort Hotel
📍 Outdoor hot spring area, Wendu Shuicheng, Zhenggezhuang Village, Beiqijia Town, Huilongguan Tiantongyuan Area, Beijing
🚗 Self-driving is recommended. Navigate to the hotel. It's about 30 km from downtown.
Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this small city listed by National Geographic
Having traveled to many places in Jiangxi, if you ask me to recommend one must-visit destination, I would suggest Shangrao. This small city, recognized by National Geographic, features Huangling, one of China's most beautiful villages, and Sanqing Mountain, a Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, along with many other hidden gems. It's truly worth spending a few days exploring.
📚 Travel Guide:
🚩 4-day, 3-night itinerary (see route in P4‼️)
🔸Day 1: Take a high-speed train to Shangrao Station → Wangxiangu, stay at Wangxiangu
🔸Day 2: Wangxiangu → Sanqing Mountain, stay at Sanqing Mountain
🔸Day 3: Sanqing Mountain → Huangling → Wunvzhou night view, stay in Wuyuan County
🔸Day 4: Hotel → Wuyuan Station, return by high-speed train
⚠️ For a more relaxed trip, consider staying overnight in Huangling as well, as the area is less crowded before 9 AM. After visiting Huangling, head to Wunvzhou for the night view. During the day, you can explore lesser-known ancient villages like Tancun and Sanyan Bridge.
📷 Must-visit Spots
✅ Wangxiangu (P1-P3): An ancient-style town built on cliffs, reminiscent of a fantasy world. It offers a unique atmosphere at dusk.
✅ Sanqing Mountain (P5): A Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, featuring stunning peaks, ancient trees, and misty clouds, showcasing nature's artistry.
✅ Huangling (P6, P7): Recognized as one of China's most beautiful villages by National Geographic, famous for its rapeseed flower fields.
✅ Wunvzhou (P8-P10): A must-see night view in Wuyuan, with magnificent architecture, bright lights, and spectacular fireworks. Don't miss the traditional iron flower performance.
📌 Tips:
❶ Wunvzhou is mainly for night views and not much to see during the day. It's close to the county, so staying there can save on accommodation costs.
❷ The distances between these attractions are not short, and public transport is not very convenient. It's recommended to rent a car and opt for a one-way rental, as the arrival and departure high-speed train stations are different‼️

A 1.5-hour high-speed train ride from Guangzhou will take you to a real-life fairy tale world.
You don't have to travel all the way to Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia to see the grasslands.
The Yuntian Lake Grassland in Chenzhou, near Guangdong,
will satisfy all your longing for the grasslands!
It's like a fairy tale world!
🚄 Transportation: Take a high-speed train from Guangzhou South Railway Station for 1.5 hours to Chenzhou West Railway Station, then take a bus, taxi, or rent a car to get there.
🏨 Accommodation: To make it easier to visit, we booked the Yunyin Hotel opposite the scenic area.
As the name suggests, it is hidden in the mountains and forests, super comfortable and quiet, like a paradise! The retro red exterior and the staggered Moroccan-style design are full of artistic sense. The entire hotel building is equipped with a high-end geothermal system, so it doesn't feel damp or cold even though it is located in the valley.
We booked a double room in a minimalist wabi-sabi style, with a large floor-to-ceiling window and a large terrace, where you can get close to nature! There is also a private bath pool, where you can soak in the natural mineral water from more than 2,000 meters underground, and the fatigue of a day of playing will disappear instantly!

😱 Dayuanxiang Museum - Wake Up and Watch on the Wall 😱
🎈 This is the largest private collection museum in Chongqing! 🤩 The museum houses countless stories about tracing roots and ancestors, like ancient history books waiting to be read.
✨ It uses the simplest exhibition method, with no fancy decorations or cool technology, but tells the heaviest historical memories. The entire museum is like a reserved wise man, simple and unpretentious, with only the elegant sandalwood and old wood scent in the air.
☀ When the sunlight falls on the Buddha niche, it seems as if time stands still, allowing our hearts to return to a moment of peace, like finding a quiet harbor in the noisy world. 😌
🙀 When the entire wall of wooden Buddha statues appears as the finale, the scene is simply stunning! We are amazed by their high artistic achievements, the exquisite craftsmanship, as if each Buddha statue is given life. The visual impact is like a powerful wave, hitting our hearts.
When the sandalwood scent enters the nose, and the dust gently falls on the Buddha niche in the light, we close our eyes and truly feel the unique charm of this museum! It's like opening a door to a mysterious ancient world, making people fascinated and unable to extricate themselves. 😍

～～～
Everyone
I am in Qingliu County, Sanming, Fujian
I found a beautiful and niche cherry blossom garden of more than 2,000 acres
The rolling mountains are full of dozens of cherry blossoms
The area is huge and beautiful, but the ticket is only CNY 40 🎫
It has also won the CCTV6 "National Best Cherry Blossom Viewing Base"
It is the best place to view cherry blossoms in Fujian‼️
No need to go to Japan this year🤣

👗Dressing suggestion: The main feature here is the pink cherry blossoms, and the main feature is the sea of cherry blossoms and the dark asphalt road.
