Just got back from Iceland, and I would recommend it to anyone!

I finally saw the long-awaited aurora on this trip to Iceland! 🌌 I remember the tour I took with my family last year, where we didn't see the aurora even once, which was a huge disappointment! 😭 But this time, I made up for that regret and witnessed the beautiful aurora with my own eyes, and it was mesmerizing! 😍 In Iceland, besides chasing the lights, I visited many places. First, I set foot in Iceland's largest hot spring—the Blue Lagoon, and the scenery there was simply breathtaking! 😍 As soon as I posted the photos, my social media was flooded with likes! It was like being in a fairyland, so dreamy that it couldn't be any dreamier! ✨ My itinerary in Iceland was quite packed: 1️⃣ Day one: Golden Circle tour, where I visited Thingvellir National Park, the geysers, and Gullfoss waterfall, each place was stunning! 2️⃣ Day two: Snaefellsnes Peninsula day trip, where I enjoyed the lush mountains, the strange Monster Coast, the unique Insta-famous bridge, and the mysterious Budir Black Church, truly an interesting adventure! 3️⃣ Day three: South Coast full panorama tour, where I experienced the majestic Seljalandsfoss waterfall, the spectacular Skogafoss waterfall, the primitive charm of Eyjafjallajokull volcano, and the unique black sand beach of Vik, each place was thrilling! 4️⃣ Day four: I stepped onto the Vatnajokull glacier, visited the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, explored the Diamond Beach, and finally experienced the blue ice cave adventure, which was exciting and unforgettable! 5️⃣ Day five: I relaxed in the Blue Lagoon hot springs and toured the city of Reykjavik, enjoying the comfortable urban scenery. When traveling in Iceland, there are a few things to note: 1️⃣ Although you can go without cash, be sure to carry a visa or MasterCard chip card for emergencies. 2️⃣ A waterproof jacket, waterproof pants, and hiking shoes are essential, as the weather in Iceland is unpredictable, and it may rain or get windy at any time. 3️⃣ Don't forget to bring a power bank, as you may not be able to borrow one abroad. Regarding joining a tour group, I suggest that if you don't have much experience with self-driving tours, it's safer to go with a group. 🚌 When choosing a tour, make sure to pick a good one to avoid regrets like I had last year. This time I joined a local Chinese tour group, and the experience was great! I saw all the sights I wanted to see, the tour cost was 10k, the accommodation was a four-star hotel, and the last night was even upgraded to a Marriott hotel, with breakfast included every day. 👍 For those who want to go to Iceland, remember that November to March is the best season to see the aurora, don't miss out! Iceland 🇮🇸, I will come back! Looking forward to revisiting next year! 😎
