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

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

#mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers

Looking for a winter island with few people, beautiful scenery, and warm sunshine? No need to fly far to Southeast Asia, Guangdong has such a treasure! A secret island accessible only by boat, with crystal-clear blue water, fine sandy beaches, and a hotel with exceptional design—definitely the ultimate choice for a family vacation! This place is Dong’ao Island in Zhuhai, and the hotel we stayed at, Alila Zhuhai Dong’ao Island, is truly the soul of the entire island. The hotel is built into the mountain, facing the Diamond Beach in Nansha Bay. Most rooms are cliffside sea view rooms, featuring extra-large curved balconies and unbeatable sea view bathtubs. The moment you step in, a sense of peaceful isolation envelops you. 🏝️ Dong’ao Island Winter Family Activities Guide: Play in the sand and waves at Diamond Beach: The hotel has the best Nansha Bay beach on the island, with white, fine sand. Guangdong’s winter temperatures are comfortable, and when the midday sun is out, kids can take off their shoes to run on the beach, build sandcastles, and collect shells. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery rivals overseas destinations. Island hiking adventure: The island has well-maintained circular trails (electric cart paths). You can take the kids on a relaxed hike, passing by attractions like Honeymoon Pavilion, Beacon Tower, and Child-Wishing Spring. From high above, the winding coastline and rugged reefs are breathtaking. The full hike takes about 2-3 hours, so go at your own pace. First-time sea activities: The hotel or beach has a water sports center where, on sunny days, you can try sailing, kayaking, and other activities (extra charge). Kids can safely experience ocean sports for the first time under guidance. Children’s Club “Kids Concierge”: The hotel’s children’s club offers a variety of activities like crafts, painting, and movie screenings. There’s even a dedicated “Kids Concierge” to organize activities for the kids, giving parents a break. 🦞 Island Flavors: The hotel has multiple restaurants offering a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes, with a very hearty breakfast. Highly recommend visiting the seafood market at the pier! In the afternoon, fishing boats return with fresh and affordable seafood. You can buy seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants for a processing fee. Steamed grouper, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops… incredibly fresh! 🚤 Transportation and Nearby Options: To get to the island, take a passenger ferry from Zhuhai’s Hengqin Pier or Xiangzhou Port, about a 40-50 minute ride. The hotel provides shuttle service at the pier. If you want to experience a different island vibe, check out Zhuhai’s Zhuhai Gree Dong’ao Hotel (located on the other side of Nansha Bay), or consider Shenzhen’s nearby Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Jiazhaoye (also highly praised for its beach and family facilities). 📋 Key Pre-Trip Information: Check ferry schedules in advance and buy tickets on platforms like Trip.com, as weekend slots are tight. It’s windy on the island; bring windproof jackets and hats for mornings and evenings in winter. Don’t forget sun protection! Even in winter, the UV rays by the sea are strong. Island supplies are hard to transport, so prices are a bit higher, especially for hotel expenses—be prepared. Here, time seems to slow down. Spend the day playing freely with your kids by the sea, watch a sunset over the ocean from the balcony in the evening, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This pure island vacation feeling is especially precious and luxurious in winter.

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Winter Retreat at Dapeng Bay: The Warmth of Hot Springs and Family Joy in a Seaside Private Villa When the warm winter sun in Shenzhen softens from the intense summer heat to a gentle amber glow, the most luxurious vacation is no longer about traveling far away, but about finding a "second home" near the coastline that can hold all the laughter of the family. This time, we encountered a newly opened seaside pool villa on the Dapeng Peninsula. It is more than just a homestay; it is a jar of warm honey called "happiness" custom-made for the whole family in winter. Open the door to the sea, the private villa is a paradise The villa’s design deeply understands the concept of a "family center." The spacious living room and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the boundless blue sea directly indoors. The children’s first exclamation is always for that vast blue. The most heartwarming feature is the courtyard, which not only has a pool reflecting the sky but also a private hot spring pool specially introduced for winter. When the evening sea breeze turns cool, the whole family soaks in the steaming spring water, watching the sunset dye the clouds and sea golden red. All fatigue and chill are gently washed away. This real feeling of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms" becomes incredibly vivid at this moment. Local flavors, a mountain and sea family feast on the palate The villa’s perfection lies in its ability to offer both private family space and convenient exploration. A short drive takes you deep into the quaint streets of Dapeng to start a culinary journey: · Must-try flavors: At a local time-honored restaurant, order a full table of authentic "Dapeng General’s Feast" dishes such as kiln-roasted chicken, general’s duck, and rice noodle rolls. Each bite carries the historical taste of mountain and sea fusion. Then visit the seafood market to pick fresh ingredients yourself and have the restaurant cook them. A "home-style seafood feast" full of squid, shrimp, and crab is a celebration filled with the warmth of the kitchen and family reunion that no high-end restaurant can replicate. · Cultural break: After the meal, take a stroll to Dapeng Suocheng, a fortress town with over 600 years of history. Let the children touch the ancient city walls, find a unique souvenir in the creative shops, and listen to the story of the origin of "Pengcheng." The seeds of culture are quietly sown during this relaxed walk. The true meaning of happiness lies in high-quality companionship Here, happiness takes its most direct form: the silhouette of parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the focused profile of a child searching for little fish by the poolside, the cheerful laughter of three generations sharing stories by the hot spring. The villa is no longer just a place to stay; it becomes an amplifier of family affection, turning the companionship diluted by busy daily life into the strongest warmth at this moment. This winter, there is no need to seek faraway Hokkaido or the Alps. Along Shenzhen’s coastline, this private villa where you can watch the sea, play in the water, soak in hot springs, and enjoy delicious food is the perfect gift for your family. It makes us believe that the highest luxury is never about material accumulation but about spending uninterrupted time blessed by sunshine and waves with loved ones. If you also yearn for such a quality journey blending nature, culture, and family affection, welcome to follow us.

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

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

Respect their Orthodox Christian faith; women should cover their heads when entering churches, and both men and women should avoid overly revealing clothing. The charm of Georgia lies in its perfect blend of the grandeur of snowy peaks, the leisure by the deep sea, the weight of millennia of history, and the feast on your palate.

Looking for a winter island with few people, beautiful scenery, and warm sunshine? No need to fly far to Southeast Asia, Guangdong has such a treasure! A secret island accessible only by boat, with crystal-clear blue water, fine sandy beaches, and a hotel with exceptional design—definitely the ultimate choice for a family vacation! This place is Dong’ao Island in Zhuhai, and the hotel we stayed at, Alila Zhuhai Dong’ao Island, is truly the soul of the entire island. The hotel is built into the mountain, facing the Diamond Beach in Nansha Bay. Most rooms are cliffside sea view rooms, featuring extra-large curved balconies and unbeatable sea view bathtubs. The moment you step in, a sense of peaceful isolation envelops you. 🏝️ Dong’ao Island Winter Family Activities Guide: Play in the sand and waves at Diamond Beach: The hotel has the best Nansha Bay beach on the island, with white, fine sand. Guangdong’s winter temperatures are comfortable, and when the midday sun is out, kids can take off their shoes to run on the beach, build sandcastles, and collect shells. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery rivals overseas destinations. Island hiking adventure: The island has well-maintained circular trails (electric cart paths). You can take the kids on a relaxed hike, passing by attractions like Honeymoon Pavilion, Beacon Tower, and Child-Wishing Spring. From high above, the winding coastline and rugged reefs are breathtaking. The full hike takes about 2-3 hours, so go at your own pace. First-time sea activities: The hotel or beach has a water sports center where, on sunny days, you can try sailing, kayaking, and other activities (extra charge). Kids can safely experience ocean sports for the first time under guidance. Children’s Club “Kids Concierge”: The hotel’s children’s club offers a variety of activities like crafts, painting, and movie screenings. There’s even a dedicated “Kids Concierge” to organize activities for the kids, giving parents a break. 🦞 Island Flavors: The hotel has multiple restaurants offering a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes, with a very hearty breakfast. Highly recommend visiting the seafood market at the pier! In the afternoon, fishing boats return with fresh and affordable seafood. You can buy seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants for a processing fee. Steamed grouper, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops… incredibly fresh! 🚤 Transportation and Nearby Options: To get to the island, take a passenger ferry from Zhuhai’s Hengqin Pier or Xiangzhou Port, about a 40-50 minute ride. The hotel provides shuttle service at the pier. If you want to experience a different island vibe, check out Zhuhai’s Zhuhai Gree Dong’ao Hotel (located on the other side of Nansha Bay), or consider Shenzhen’s nearby Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Jiazhaoye (also highly praised for its beach and family facilities). 📋 Key Pre-Trip Information: Check ferry schedules in advance and buy tickets on platforms like Trip.com, as weekend slots are tight. It’s windy on the island; bring windproof jackets and hats for mornings and evenings in winter. Don’t forget sun protection! Even in winter, the UV rays by the sea are strong. Island supplies are hard to transport, so prices are a bit higher, especially for hotel expenses—be prepared. Here, time seems to slow down. Spend the day playing freely with your kids by the sea, watch a sunset over the ocean from the balcony in the evening, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This pure island vacation feeling is especially precious and luxurious in winter.

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Winter Retreat at Dapeng Bay: The Warmth of Hot Springs and Family Joy in a Seaside Private Villa When the warm winter sun in Shenzhen softens from the intense summer heat to a gentle amber glow, the most luxurious vacation is no longer about traveling far away, but about finding a "second home" near the coastline that can hold all the laughter of the family. This time, we encountered a newly opened seaside pool villa on the Dapeng Peninsula. It is more than just a homestay; it is a jar of warm honey called "happiness" custom-made for the whole family in winter. Open the door to the sea, the private villa is a paradise The villa’s design deeply understands the concept of a "family center." The spacious living room and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the boundless blue sea directly indoors. The children’s first exclamation is always for that vast blue. The most heartwarming feature is the courtyard, which not only has a pool reflecting the sky but also a private hot spring pool specially introduced for winter. When the evening sea breeze turns cool, the whole family soaks in the steaming spring water, watching the sunset dye the clouds and sea golden red. All fatigue and chill are gently washed away. This real feeling of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms" becomes incredibly vivid at this moment. Local flavors, a mountain and sea family feast on the palate The villa’s perfection lies in its ability to offer both private family space and convenient exploration. A short drive takes you deep into the quaint streets of Dapeng to start a culinary journey: · Must-try flavors: At a local time-honored restaurant, order a full table of authentic "Dapeng General’s Feast" dishes such as kiln-roasted chicken, general’s duck, and rice noodle rolls. Each bite carries the historical taste of mountain and sea fusion. Then visit the seafood market to pick fresh ingredients yourself and have the restaurant cook them. A "home-style seafood feast" full of squid, shrimp, and crab is a celebration filled with the warmth of the kitchen and family reunion that no high-end restaurant can replicate. · Cultural break: After the meal, take a stroll to Dapeng Suocheng, a fortress town with over 600 years of history. Let the children touch the ancient city walls, find a unique souvenir in the creative shops, and listen to the story of the origin of "Pengcheng." The seeds of culture are quietly sown during this relaxed walk. The true meaning of happiness lies in high-quality companionship Here, happiness takes its most direct form: the silhouette of parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the focused profile of a child searching for little fish by the poolside, the cheerful laughter of three generations sharing stories by the hot spring. The villa is no longer just a place to stay; it becomes an amplifier of family affection, turning the companionship diluted by busy daily life into the strongest warmth at this moment. This winter, there is no need to seek faraway Hokkaido or the Alps. Along Shenzhen’s coastline, this private villa where you can watch the sea, play in the water, soak in hot springs, and enjoy delicious food is the perfect gift for your family. It makes us believe that the highest luxury is never about material accumulation but about spending uninterrupted time blessed by sunshine and waves with loved ones. If you also yearn for such a quality journey blending nature, culture, and family affection, welcome to follow us.

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

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1.

Standing at the bottom of the stone steps and shooting upward captures the geometric feel of the architecture against the sky. Wearing a Miao silver ornament dress for photos maximizes the ethnic vibe. 2. Jiuli Palace: Giant doors and carved beams and pillars. Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall.

Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

This guide will take you through its highlights. 1. Preparation Before Travel · Visa: Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 30 days (please pay attention to policy updates). · Currency: The local currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL).

Respect their Orthodox Christian faith; women should cover their heads when entering churches, and both men and women should avoid overly revealing clothing. The charm of Georgia lies in its perfect blend of the grandeur of snowy peaks, the leisure by the deep sea, the weight of millennia of history, and the feast on your palate. Take this guide and discover the endless surprises this small Caucasus country has to offer!

#mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers

Looking for a winter island with few people, beautiful scenery, and warm sunshine? No need to fly far to Southeast Asia, Guangdong has such a treasure! A secret island accessible only by boat, with crystal-clear blue water, fine sandy beaches, and a hotel with exceptional design—definitely the ultimate choice for a family vacation! This place is Dong’ao Island in Zhuhai, and the hotel we stayed at, Alila Zhuhai Dong’ao Island, is truly the soul of the entire island. The hotel is built into the mountain, facing the Diamond Beach in Nansha Bay. Most rooms are cliffside sea view rooms, featuring extra-large curved balconies and unbeatable sea view bathtubs. The moment you step in, a sense of peaceful isolation envelops you. 🏝️ Dong’ao Island Winter Family Activities Guide: Play in the sand and waves at Diamond Beach: The hotel has the best Nansha Bay beach on the island, with white, fine sand. Guangdong’s winter temperatures are comfortable, and when the midday sun is out, kids can take off their shoes to run on the beach, build sandcastles, and collect shells. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery rivals overseas destinations. Island hiking adventure: The island has well-maintained circular trails (electric cart paths). You can take the kids on a relaxed hike, passing by attractions like Honeymoon Pavilion, Beacon Tower, and Child-Wishing Spring. From high above, the winding coastline and rugged reefs are breathtaking. The full hike takes about 2-3 hours, so go at your own pace. First-time sea activities: The hotel or beach has a water sports center where, on sunny days, you can try sailing, kayaking, and other activities (extra charge). Kids can safely experience ocean sports for the first time under guidance. Children’s Club “Kids Concierge”: The hotel’s children’s club offers a variety of activities like crafts, painting, and movie screenings. There’s even a dedicated “Kids Concierge” to organize activities for the kids, giving parents a break. 🦞 Island Flavors: The hotel has multiple restaurants offering a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes, with a very hearty breakfast. Highly recommend visiting the seafood market at the pier! In the afternoon, fishing boats return with fresh and affordable seafood. You can buy seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants for a processing fee. Steamed grouper, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops… incredibly fresh! 🚤 Transportation and Nearby Options: To get to the island, take a passenger ferry from Zhuhai’s Hengqin Pier or Xiangzhou Port, about a 40-50 minute ride. The hotel provides shuttle service at the pier. If you want to experience a different island vibe, check out Zhuhai’s Zhuhai Gree Dong’ao Hotel (located on the other side of Nansha Bay), or consider Shenzhen’s nearby Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Jiazhaoye (also highly praised for its beach and family facilities). 📋 Key Pre-Trip Information: Check ferry schedules in advance and buy tickets on platforms like Trip.com, as weekend slots are tight. It’s windy on the island; bring windproof jackets and hats for mornings and evenings in winter. Don’t forget sun protection! Even in winter, the UV rays by the sea are strong. Island supplies are hard to transport, so prices are a bit higher, especially for hotel expenses—be prepared. Here, time seems to slow down. Spend the day playing freely with your kids by the sea, watch a sunset over the ocean from the balcony in the evening, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This pure island vacation feeling is especially precious and luxurious in winter.

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Winter Retreat at Dapeng Bay: The Warmth of Hot Springs and Family Joy in a Seaside Private Villa When the warm winter sun in Shenzhen softens from the intense summer heat to a gentle amber glow, the most luxurious vacation is no longer about traveling far away, but about finding a "second home" near the coastline that can hold all the laughter of the family. This time, we encountered a newly opened seaside pool villa on the Dapeng Peninsula. It is more than just a homestay; it is a jar of warm honey called "happiness" custom-made for the whole family in winter. Open the door to the sea, the private villa is a paradise The villa’s design deeply understands the concept of a "family center." The spacious living room and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the boundless blue sea directly indoors. The children’s first exclamation is always for that vast blue. The most heartwarming feature is the courtyard, which not only has a pool reflecting the sky but also a private hot spring pool specially introduced for winter. When the evening sea breeze turns cool, the whole family soaks in the steaming spring water, watching the sunset dye the clouds and sea golden red. All fatigue and chill are gently washed away. This real feeling of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms" becomes incredibly vivid at this moment. Local flavors, a mountain and sea family feast on the palate The villa’s perfection lies in its ability to offer both private family space and convenient exploration. A short drive takes you deep into the quaint streets of Dapeng to start a culinary journey: · Must-try flavors: At a local time-honored restaurant, order a full table of authentic "Dapeng General’s Feast" dishes such as kiln-roasted chicken, general’s duck, and rice noodle rolls. Each bite carries the historical taste of mountain and sea fusion. Then visit the seafood market to pick fresh ingredients yourself and have the restaurant cook them. A "home-style seafood feast" full of squid, shrimp, and crab is a celebration filled with the warmth of the kitchen and family reunion that no high-end restaurant can replicate. · Cultural break: After the meal, take a stroll to Dapeng Suocheng, a fortress town with over 600 years of history. Let the children touch the ancient city walls, find a unique souvenir in the creative shops, and listen to the story of the origin of "Pengcheng." The seeds of culture are quietly sown during this relaxed walk. The true meaning of happiness lies in high-quality companionship Here, happiness takes its most direct form: the silhouette of parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the focused profile of a child searching for little fish by the poolside, the cheerful laughter of three generations sharing stories by the hot spring. The villa is no longer just a place to stay; it becomes an amplifier of family affection, turning the companionship diluted by busy daily life into the strongest warmth at this moment. This winter, there is no need to seek faraway Hokkaido or the Alps. Along Shenzhen’s coastline, this private villa where you can watch the sea, play in the water, soak in hot springs, and enjoy delicious food is the perfect gift for your family. It makes us believe that the highest luxury is never about material accumulation but about spending uninterrupted time blessed by sunshine and waves with loved ones. If you also yearn for such a quality journey blending nature, culture, and family affection, welcome to follow us.

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

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

Stop crowding into Hongya Cave and Qianhu Miao Village! Chongqing hides a Miao ancient town that looks like the "Nine-Story Demon Tower," and Guizhou conceals a waterside pavilion just like the one in "Spirited Away." Few people visit, the scenery is stunning, and wearing ethnic costumes for photos instantly transforms you into the lead of a xianxia drama—99% of people still don’t know about these two secret spots! 🌶️ Chongqing · Chiyou Jiuli City: The “Miao Heavenly Palace” Built on the Mountain Why is it worth visiting? - No need to squeeze into Hongya Cave! This stilted building complex is built layer upon layer on the mountain, as if “growing” out of the cliff. Miao totems blend with ancient city walls, and walking inside feels like entering the Miao secret realm in the game "Chinese Paladin." - Even more spectacular when lit at night! Lantern strings hang from the rooftops down to the foot of the mountain. The silhouette of Jiuli Palace at night looks like a giant beast lying dormant, adding a mysterious and majestic vibe beyond Hongya Cave. 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1.

Inside is a Miao culture museum displaying exquisitely crafted silver crowns and embroidery. The second-floor terrace offers panoramic shots of the architecture, with sunlight streaming through the window lattice creating dramatic light and shadow. 3. Jiuli Divine Pillars: 108 deity statues carved on stone pillars made of ancient rock. Each statue is said to have a story. At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall.

Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

Preparation Before Travel · Visa: Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 30 days (please pay attention to policy updates). · Currency: The local currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL).

Respect their Orthodox Christian faith; women should cover their heads when entering churches, and both men and women should avoid overly revealing clothing. The charm of Georgia lies in its perfect blend of the grandeur of snowy peaks, the leisure by the deep sea, the weight of millennia of history, and the feast on your palate.

Looking for a winter island with few people, beautiful scenery, and warm sunshine? No need to fly far to Southeast Asia, Guangdong has such a treasure! A secret island accessible only by boat, with crystal-clear blue water, fine sandy beaches, and a hotel with exceptional design—definitely the ultimate choice for a family vacation! This place is Dong’ao Island in Zhuhai, and the hotel we stayed at, Alila Zhuhai Dong’ao Island, is truly the soul of the entire island. The hotel is built into the mountain, facing the Diamond Beach in Nansha Bay. Most rooms are cliffside sea view rooms, featuring extra-large curved balconies and unbeatable sea view bathtubs. The moment you step in, a sense of peaceful isolation envelops you. 🏝️ Dong’ao Island Winter Family Activities Guide: Play in the sand and waves at Diamond Beach: The hotel has the best Nansha Bay beach on the island, with white, fine sand. Guangdong’s winter temperatures are comfortable, and when the midday sun is out, kids can take off their shoes to run on the beach, build sandcastles, and collect shells. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery rivals overseas destinations. Island hiking adventure: The island has well-maintained circular trails (electric cart paths). You can take the kids on a relaxed hike, passing by attractions like Honeymoon Pavilion, Beacon Tower, and Child-Wishing Spring. From high above, the winding coastline and rugged reefs are breathtaking. The full hike takes about 2-3 hours, so go at your own pace. First-time sea activities: The hotel or beach has a water sports center where, on sunny days, you can try sailing, kayaking, and other activities (extra charge). Kids can safely experience ocean sports for the first time under guidance. Children’s Club “Kids Concierge”: The hotel’s children’s club offers a variety of activities like crafts, painting, and movie screenings. There’s even a dedicated “Kids Concierge” to organize activities for the kids, giving parents a break. 🦞 Island Flavors: The hotel has multiple restaurants offering a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes, with a very hearty breakfast. Highly recommend visiting the seafood market at the pier! In the afternoon, fishing boats return with fresh and affordable seafood. You can buy seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants for a processing fee. Steamed grouper, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops… incredibly fresh! 🚤 Transportation and Nearby Options: To get to the island, take a passenger ferry from Zhuhai’s Hengqin Pier or Xiangzhou Port, about a 40-50 minute ride. The hotel provides shuttle service at the pier. If you want to experience a different island vibe, check out Zhuhai’s Zhuhai Gree Dong’ao Hotel (located on the other side of Nansha Bay), or consider Shenzhen’s nearby Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Jiazhaoye (also highly praised for its beach and family facilities). 📋 Key Pre-Trip Information: Check ferry schedules in advance and buy tickets on platforms like Trip.com, as weekend slots are tight. It’s windy on the island; bring windproof jackets and hats for mornings and evenings in winter. Don’t forget sun protection! Even in winter, the UV rays by the sea are strong. Island supplies are hard to transport, so prices are a bit higher, especially for hotel expenses—be prepared. Here, time seems to slow down. Spend the day playing freely with your kids by the sea, watch a sunset over the ocean from the balcony in the evening, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This pure island vacation feeling is especially precious and luxurious in winter.

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Winter Retreat at Dapeng Bay: The Warmth of Hot Springs and Family Joy in a Seaside Private Villa When the warm winter sun in Shenzhen softens from the intense summer heat to a gentle amber glow, the most luxurious vacation is no longer about traveling far away, but about finding a "second home" near the coastline that can hold all the laughter of the family. This time, we encountered a newly opened seaside pool villa on the Dapeng Peninsula. It is more than just a homestay; it is a jar of warm honey called "happiness" custom-made for the whole family in winter. Open the door to the sea, the private villa is a paradise The villa’s design deeply understands the concept of a "family center." The spacious living room and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the boundless blue sea directly indoors. The children’s first exclamation is always for that vast blue. The most heartwarming feature is the courtyard, which not only has a pool reflecting the sky but also a private hot spring pool specially introduced for winter. When the evening sea breeze turns cool, the whole family soaks in the steaming spring water, watching the sunset dye the clouds and sea golden red. All fatigue and chill are gently washed away. This real feeling of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms" becomes incredibly vivid at this moment. Local flavors, a mountain and sea family feast on the palate The villa’s perfection lies in its ability to offer both private family space and convenient exploration. A short drive takes you deep into the quaint streets of Dapeng to start a culinary journey: · Must-try flavors: At a local time-honored restaurant, order a full table of authentic "Dapeng General’s Feast" dishes such as kiln-roasted chicken, general’s duck, and rice noodle rolls. Each bite carries the historical taste of mountain and sea fusion. Then visit the seafood market to pick fresh ingredients yourself and have the restaurant cook them. A "home-style seafood feast" full of squid, shrimp, and crab is a celebration filled with the warmth of the kitchen and family reunion that no high-end restaurant can replicate. · Cultural break: After the meal, take a stroll to Dapeng Suocheng, a fortress town with over 600 years of history. Let the children touch the ancient city walls, find a unique souvenir in the creative shops, and listen to the story of the origin of "Pengcheng." The seeds of culture are quietly sown during this relaxed walk. The true meaning of happiness lies in high-quality companionship Here, happiness takes its most direct form: the silhouette of parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the focused profile of a child searching for little fish by the poolside, the cheerful laughter of three generations sharing stories by the hot spring. The villa is no longer just a place to stay; it becomes an amplifier of family affection, turning the companionship diluted by busy daily life into the strongest warmth at this moment. This winter, there is no need to seek faraway Hokkaido or the Alps. Along Shenzhen’s coastline, this private villa where you can watch the sea, play in the water, soak in hot springs, and enjoy delicious food is the perfect gift for your family. It makes us believe that the highest luxury is never about material accumulation but about spending uninterrupted time blessed by sunshine and waves with loved ones. If you also yearn for such a quality journey blending nature, culture, and family affection, welcome to follow us.

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

At dusk, the slanting sunlight casts long shadows from the pillars, making photos look like a scene from a ritual ceremony. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: 3 hours by car from Chongqing main city (navigate to “Chiyou Jiuli City”); take high-speed rail to Pengshui West Station, then an 8-minute taxi ride. - Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 9:30 PM, recommended to spend 3-4 hours, and be sure to wait for the lights to come on (after 7:30 PM). - Hidden Photo Spot: After entering the main gate, turn right and climb the ancient city wall. The lookout platform offers a full view of Jiuli City, with stilted buildings, divine pillars, and distant mountains in one frame—majestic and grand. - Outfit: Ethnic Miao costumes can be rented in the scenic area (50-100 RMB/set, including silver accessories). Red or blue skirts make the best photos. 🌿 Guizhou · Waterside Dong Village: A Real-Life “Spirited Away” Secret Realm Why is it worth visiting? - Ten times less crowded than Qianhu Miao Village! A whole row of Dong drum towers built on the water, using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. At dusk when the lights come on, their reflections shimmer on the water, like scenes from an anime come to life. - Experience Dong Grand Song! The a cappella harmonies are ethereal like heavenly music. Sitting on the flower bridge listening to the songs while watching the sparkling water cleanses the soul. 📸 Must-Capture Spots 1. Entrance Viewing Platform: The best spot for panoramic shots of the drum towers, with green mountains as the backdrop and symmetrical reflections on the water. At sunset, the sky turns orange-pink, and every shot looks like wallpaper. 2. Flower Bridge Corridor: The wooden carved bridge acts as a natural frame. Standing in the middle of the bridge with the water and drum towers behind, wearing a blue Dong cloth shirt and shooting a side profile creates an instantly iconic atmosphere. 3. Side of the Waterside Stage: When the night lights come on, the flying eaves and upturned corners of the stage reflect on the water. Find a stone step to sit and shoot, where people and light shadows intertwine, like stepping into a fairy tale. 🚗 Transportation & Tips - Transportation: Recommended to drive 2.5 hours from Guiyang (navigate near “Zhaoxing Dong Village,” or search “Waterside Dong Village”); or take high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride. - Activities: Visit Dong cloth workshops during the day and watch elders weaving; listen to Dong Grand Song performances for free around 6 PM on the flower bridge; stroll by the water at night with lanterns reflecting on the surface—quiet and healing. - Food: Try Dong sour soup fish with sticky rice, tangy and appetizing. Don’t miss the village entrance’s oil tea, fragrant enough to make you feel homesick. These two ancient towns—one hiding the majestic mystery of the Miao realm, the other exuding the gentle vitality of the Dong village—offer a crowd-free experience. Wearing ethnic costumes and walking through them feels like traveling into a xianxia world—turns out real-life ancient towns can be even more stunning than TV dramas.

Looking for a winter island with few people, beautiful scenery, and warm sunshine? No need to fly far to Southeast Asia, Guangdong has such a treasure! A secret island accessible only by boat, with crystal-clear blue water, fine sandy beaches, and a hotel with exceptional design—definitely the ultimate choice for a family vacation! This place is Dong’ao Island in Zhuhai, and the hotel we stayed at, Alila Zhuhai Dong’ao Island, is truly the soul of the entire island. The hotel is built into the mountain, facing the Diamond Beach in Nansha Bay. Most rooms are cliffside sea view rooms, featuring extra-large curved balconies and unbeatable sea view bathtubs. The moment you step in, a sense of peaceful isolation envelops you. 🏝️ Dong’ao Island Winter Family Activities Guide: Play in the sand and waves at Diamond Beach: The hotel has the best Nansha Bay beach on the island, with white, fine sand. Guangdong’s winter temperatures are comfortable, and when the midday sun is out, kids can take off their shoes to run on the beach, build sandcastles, and collect shells. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery rivals overseas destinations. Island hiking adventure: The island has well-maintained circular trails (electric cart paths). You can take the kids on a relaxed hike, passing by attractions like Honeymoon Pavilion, Beacon Tower, and Child-Wishing Spring. From high above, the winding coastline and rugged reefs are breathtaking. The full hike takes about 2-3 hours, so go at your own pace. First-time sea activities: The hotel or beach has a water sports center where, on sunny days, you can try sailing, kayaking, and other activities (extra charge). Kids can safely experience ocean sports for the first time under guidance. Children’s Club “Kids Concierge”: The hotel’s children’s club offers a variety of activities like crafts, painting, and movie screenings. There’s even a dedicated “Kids Concierge” to organize activities for the kids, giving parents a break. 🦞 Island Flavors: The hotel has multiple restaurants offering a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes, with a very hearty breakfast. Highly recommend visiting the seafood market at the pier! In the afternoon, fishing boats return with fresh and affordable seafood. You can buy seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants for a processing fee. Steamed grouper, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops… incredibly fresh! 🚤 Transportation and Nearby Options: To get to the island, take a passenger ferry from Zhuhai’s Hengqin Pier or Xiangzhou Port, about a 40-50 minute ride. The hotel provides shuttle service at the pier. If you want to experience a different island vibe, check out Zhuhai’s Zhuhai Gree Dong’ao Hotel (located on the other side of Nansha Bay), or consider Shenzhen’s nearby Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Jiazhaoye (also highly praised for its beach and family facilities). 📋 Key Pre-Trip Information: Check ferry schedules in advance and buy tickets on platforms like Trip.com, as weekend slots are tight. It’s windy on the island; bring windproof jackets and hats for mornings and evenings in winter. Don’t forget sun protection! Even in winter, the UV rays by the sea are strong. Island supplies are hard to transport, so prices are a bit higher, especially for hotel expenses—be prepared. Here, time seems to slow down. Spend the day playing freely with your kids by the sea, watch a sunset over the ocean from the balcony in the evening, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This pure island vacation feeling is especially precious and luxurious in winter.

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Winter Retreat at Dapeng Bay: The Warmth of Hot Springs and Family Joy in a Seaside Private Villa When the warm winter sun in Shenzhen softens from the intense summer heat to a gentle amber glow, the most luxurious vacation is no longer about traveling far away, but about finding a "second home" near the coastline that can hold all the laughter of the family. This time, we encountered a newly opened seaside pool villa on the Dapeng Peninsula. It is more than just a homestay; it is a jar of warm honey called "happiness" custom-made for the whole family in winter. Open the door to the sea, the private villa is a paradise The villa’s design deeply understands the concept of a "family center." The spacious living room and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the boundless blue sea directly indoors. The children’s first exclamation is always for that vast blue. The most heartwarming feature is the courtyard, which not only has a pool reflecting the sky but also a private hot spring pool specially introduced for winter. When the evening sea breeze turns cool, the whole family soaks in the steaming spring water, watching the sunset dye the clouds and sea golden red. All fatigue and chill are gently washed away. This real feeling of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms" becomes incredibly vivid at this moment. Local flavors, a mountain and sea family feast on the palate The villa’s perfection lies in its ability to offer both private family space and convenient exploration. A short drive takes you deep into the quaint streets of Dapeng to start a culinary journey: · Must-try flavors: At a local time-honored restaurant, order a full table of authentic "Dapeng General’s Feast" dishes such as kiln-roasted chicken, general’s duck, and rice noodle rolls. Each bite carries the historical taste of mountain and sea fusion. Then visit the seafood market to pick fresh ingredients yourself and have the restaurant cook them. A "home-style seafood feast" full of squid, shrimp, and crab is a celebration filled with the warmth of the kitchen and family reunion that no high-end restaurant can replicate. · Cultural break: After the meal, take a stroll to Dapeng Suocheng, a fortress town with over 600 years of history. Let the children touch the ancient city walls, find a unique souvenir in the creative shops, and listen to the story of the origin of "Pengcheng." The seeds of culture are quietly sown during this relaxed walk. The true meaning of happiness lies in high-quality companionship Here, happiness takes its most direct form: the silhouette of parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the focused profile of a child searching for little fish by the poolside, the cheerful laughter of three generations sharing stories by the hot spring. The villa is no longer just a place to stay; it becomes an amplifier of family affection, turning the companionship diluted by busy daily life into the strongest warmth at this moment. This winter, there is no need to seek faraway Hokkaido or the Alps. Along Shenzhen’s coastline, this private villa where you can watch the sea, play in the water, soak in hot springs, and enjoy delicious food is the perfect gift for your family. It makes us believe that the highest luxury is never about material accumulation but about spending uninterrupted time blessed by sunshine and waves with loved ones. If you also yearn for such a quality journey blending nature, culture, and family affection, welcome to follow us.

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

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

#mytripvlog #2023travelwish #tripblazers

Looking for a winter island with few people, beautiful scenery, and warm sunshine? No need to fly far to Southeast Asia, Guangdong has such a treasure! A secret island accessible only by boat, with crystal-clear blue water, fine sandy beaches, and a hotel with exceptional design—definitely the ultimate choice for a family vacation! This place is Dong’ao Island in Zhuhai, and the hotel we stayed at, Alila Zhuhai Dong’ao Island, is truly the soul of the entire island. The hotel is built into the mountain, facing the Diamond Beach in Nansha Bay. Most rooms are cliffside sea view rooms, featuring extra-large curved balconies and unbeatable sea view bathtubs. The moment you step in, a sense of peaceful isolation envelops you. 🏝️ Dong’ao Island Winter Family Activities Guide: Play in the sand and waves at Diamond Beach: The hotel has the best Nansha Bay beach on the island, with white, fine sand. Guangdong’s winter temperatures are comfortable, and when the midday sun is out, kids can take off their shoes to run on the beach, build sandcastles, and collect shells. The water is crystal clear, and the scenery rivals overseas destinations. Island hiking adventure: The island has well-maintained circular trails (electric cart paths). You can take the kids on a relaxed hike, passing by attractions like Honeymoon Pavilion, Beacon Tower, and Child-Wishing Spring. From high above, the winding coastline and rugged reefs are breathtaking. The full hike takes about 2-3 hours, so go at your own pace. First-time sea activities: The hotel or beach has a water sports center where, on sunny days, you can try sailing, kayaking, and other activities (extra charge). Kids can safely experience ocean sports for the first time under guidance. Children’s Club “Kids Concierge”: The hotel’s children’s club offers a variety of activities like crafts, painting, and movie screenings. There’s even a dedicated “Kids Concierge” to organize activities for the kids, giving parents a break. 🦞 Island Flavors: The hotel has multiple restaurants offering a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes, with a very hearty breakfast. Highly recommend visiting the seafood market at the pier! In the afternoon, fishing boats return with fresh and affordable seafood. You can buy seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants for a processing fee. Steamed grouper, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops… incredibly fresh! 🚤 Transportation and Nearby Options: To get to the island, take a passenger ferry from Zhuhai’s Hengqin Pier or Xiangzhou Port, about a 40-50 minute ride. The hotel provides shuttle service at the pier. If you want to experience a different island vibe, check out Zhuhai’s Zhuhai Gree Dong’ao Hotel (located on the other side of Nansha Bay), or consider Shenzhen’s nearby Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Jiazhaoye (also highly praised for its beach and family facilities). 📋 Key Pre-Trip Information: Check ferry schedules in advance and buy tickets on platforms like Trip.com, as weekend slots are tight. It’s windy on the island; bring windproof jackets and hats for mornings and evenings in winter. Don’t forget sun protection! Even in winter, the UV rays by the sea are strong. Island supplies are hard to transport, so prices are a bit higher, especially for hotel expenses—be prepared. Here, time seems to slow down. Spend the day playing freely with your kids by the sea, watch a sunset over the ocean from the balcony in the evening, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This pure island vacation feeling is especially precious and luxurious in winter.

#hotelreview My stay at Andaz Ottawa ByWard Market was a decent experience, offering a perfect blend of luxury and local charm right in the heart of Canada’s capital. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market district, this stylish hotel provided an ideal base for exploring the rich history and lively culture of Ottawa. However there are some areas that the hotel can improve. My check in only happened at 5:30pm due to the mismanagement of the housekeeping schedule. And the staffs didnt really do anything to compensate for tis inconvenience. Second, the hotel's amenities is really weak and boring, featuring only a small gym with few equipments. But other than that, this is a great hotel choice for those visiting Ottawa. My rating: 8/10 #andaz #ottawaexplore

Take family photos here for an unforgettable atmosphere. ✅ Kilometer Gallery Comparable to the Colorado Grand Canyon, it lets kids experience the trace of millions of years. Encourage them to observe rock textures and colors to spark their curiosity. ⚠️ Family Travel Tips: 1. Parking is convenient, right opposite the visitor center. After getting kids out of the car, you can enter the park directly without extra walking. 2. Accommodation options include Jingbian County or nearby Longzhou Town. Jingbian hotels have better facilities, suitable for families, so book in advance. 3. The long loop takes about 3 hours, with more magnificent scenery. The entire route is wooden plank paths and stone steps, not difficult, suitable for all ages, perfect for family outings. 4. Dress kids in comfortable, non-slip shoes for easy walking and to prevent falls. 5. The UV rays in the scenic area are strong; prepare sun protection for kids—sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential. 6. Bring enough drinking water and snacks for kids to replenish energy. There are vendors inside but prices are higher. 7. Keep an eye on kids to avoid getting lost. The scenic area can be crowded, so consider using anti-lost wristbands for children.

Winter Retreat at Dapeng Bay: The Warmth of Hot Springs and Family Joy in a Seaside Private Villa When the warm winter sun in Shenzhen softens from the intense summer heat to a gentle amber glow, the most luxurious vacation is no longer about traveling far away, but about finding a "second home" near the coastline that can hold all the laughter of the family. This time, we encountered a newly opened seaside pool villa on the Dapeng Peninsula. It is more than just a homestay; it is a jar of warm honey called "happiness" custom-made for the whole family in winter. Open the door to the sea, the private villa is a paradise The villa’s design deeply understands the concept of a "family center." The spacious living room and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the boundless blue sea directly indoors. The children’s first exclamation is always for that vast blue. The most heartwarming feature is the courtyard, which not only has a pool reflecting the sky but also a private hot spring pool specially introduced for winter. When the evening sea breeze turns cool, the whole family soaks in the steaming spring water, watching the sunset dye the clouds and sea golden red. All fatigue and chill are gently washed away. This real feeling of "facing the sea, with spring blossoms" becomes incredibly vivid at this moment. Local flavors, a mountain and sea family feast on the palate The villa’s perfection lies in its ability to offer both private family space and convenient exploration. A short drive takes you deep into the quaint streets of Dapeng to start a culinary journey: · Must-try flavors: At a local time-honored restaurant, order a full table of authentic "Dapeng General’s Feast" dishes such as kiln-roasted chicken, general’s duck, and rice noodle rolls. Each bite carries the historical taste of mountain and sea fusion. Then visit the seafood market to pick fresh ingredients yourself and have the restaurant cook them. A "home-style seafood feast" full of squid, shrimp, and crab is a celebration filled with the warmth of the kitchen and family reunion that no high-end restaurant can replicate. · Cultural break: After the meal, take a stroll to Dapeng Suocheng, a fortress town with over 600 years of history. Let the children touch the ancient city walls, find a unique souvenir in the creative shops, and listen to the story of the origin of "Pengcheng." The seeds of culture are quietly sown during this relaxed walk. The true meaning of happiness lies in high-quality companionship Here, happiness takes its most direct form: the silhouette of parents preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the focused profile of a child searching for little fish by the poolside, the cheerful laughter of three generations sharing stories by the hot spring. The villa is no longer just a place to stay; it becomes an amplifier of family affection, turning the companionship diluted by busy daily life into the strongest warmth at this moment. This winter, there is no need to seek faraway Hokkaido or the Alps. Along Shenzhen’s coastline, this private villa where you can watch the sea, play in the water, soak in hot springs, and enjoy delicious food is the perfect gift for your family. It makes us believe that the highest luxury is never about material accumulation but about spending uninterrupted time blessed by sunshine and waves with loved ones.
