Last summer, I went to Liling with friends. Museum, picking porcelain, strolling Liling Gate, Xiandu Braised Duck, Liling Stir-fry... How could I not go to any of them? I went to all of them, hehe. I went to Liling Gate once during the day, and luckily came back for a walk at night. The breeze came along the river, very comfortable and leisurely. Time flies by in a flash~ But, I captured the most beautiful Liling night view of that moment. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

The happiest thing every day is watching the flavors of Liling "rush" from Aunt Deng to family members all over the country. No matter where you are, the taste of home can always cross mountains and seas to ease your homesickness. ❥(^_-)

On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, while others were still sleeping 💤, I quickly went to check in at Li Ling's number one peak ⛰️ -- Mingyue Peak. The scenery at the top of the mountain is indeed great! Windmills and a sea of clouds ☁️ Navigation 🅿️: Navigate to Shanxiandian, park nearby, or if your car has good power, you can drive to the mid-mountain or the summit! The whole way is a farm road, not difficult, just a bit steep, so it’s a bit tiring to walk! Walking alone, it takes just over an hour to reach the summit; if you go slower, it can take one and a half to two hours!

Kids, you can come to Liling to collect porcelain during the Lunar New Year!

Enjoy the evening breeze blowing over the Lujiang River, take a stroll along both banks of the river, visit Lilingmen, and experience the riverside night scenery. You can even set off fireworks here yourself, which is incredibly delightful.

Which stunningly beautiful woman, destined to be a billionaire—a beauty, a kind soul, a woman of impeccable taste, and immense wealth—could bring a gift to the little girl stranded in Changsha? If she doesn't eat it soon, if she can't eat it again, if she goes back to never see or touch it again, I'm really going to lose it!

The scenery is very beautiful. The breeze by the Lujiang River feels very comfortable. The wind carries the aroma of braised duck. Recently stayed at the Amida Hotel, and the overall impression can be summed up as "comfortable and practical." Convenient location: The hotel is located next to the main road in the city center. Arrived at 11 PM, the hotel lobby lighting was soft, and the front desk lady proactively asked if I was rushing. Check-in took only 2 minutes (prepaid online, just swipe ID to get the room card instantly). The room is on the 4th floor, the window lets in the breeze but it’s not noisy (probably because it faces the street). The bedside lamp emits a warm yellow light that is very soothing. The bedding is on the firm side but neatly made, and lying down instantly relieved much of my fatigue.

Location · Convenient for Both Activity and Tranquility The hotel is located at No. 1 Liquan Road, Jiuhong Century Plaza, a prime golden location. I tested the transportation: about a 19-minute drive from Liling East Station, only 5 minutes from Liling Railway Station, and about 10 minutes to the Ceramic Museum by car. Stepping outside leads directly to a bustling commercial street where dining, shopping, and entertainment are all within reach, yet the hotel itself cleverly achieves a “quiet oasis amid the hustle,” completely undisturbed by the noise. 🏨 Design · Simple Yet Full of “Porcelain” Charm The moment I entered the lobby, I was touched by the serene and elegant atmosphere.

This barbecue place in Liling is absolutely amazing! The black pork barbecue is incredibly fragrant!

Sharing a hidden gem shop my mom loves: 🏠: Shop No. 12, Building D, Jianshe West Road, Lailongmen Street, Liling City ⏰: 6:30-21:30 Whenever we have hot pot at home, my mom takes me to this shop to buy beef balls and shrimp paste. This time, I was surprised to find a lot of new-style bread flavors that young people love—delicious and inexpensive! I had to write a review. My mom and I immediately tried the "🍵Matcha Yuzu Cheesecake," and it was absolutely delicious! It's rare to find a flavor that both my mom and I would like. The slight bitterness of the matcha, the refreshing taste of the yuzu, and the sweetness of the cheesecake were perfectly balanced. At 8 yuan each, I thought it was a good deal, but my mom was surprised by the price; it's definitely the most expensive pastry in the shop. Main quest: Buy beef and shrimp paste ✅ Side quest: Buy breakfast pastries ✅ (Bought brown sugar steamed buns, black sesame and walnut steamed buns, and matcha yuzu yogurt) The advantage of going out with mom is that we don't have to pay 💴. The total was a little over eighty, with the five matcha yuzu yogurts taking up forty, and the rest for a little over forty. Not bad, not bad.
