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

Erhai Lake is half of the romance of Dali,

is an intimate contact with nature,
and a hug with poetry and the distance!
Here I stayed in the dream love hotel,

No Special Forces! 3-Day 2-Night Family Trip to Changsha
I just got back from Changsha with my kids, and I really felt the enthusiasm of the people of Changsha.
I want to take my kids to check in and play, but I don't want to be too tired.
Save this guide■ and take your time to experience a different Changsha!
"My Day Tour Route"
Day 1: Bisha Lake Subway Station - Meixi Lake Knot Bridge - Huangxing Square - Wuyi Square
Day ❷: Meixi Lake Art Center - Yuelu Mountain - Orange Isle
I took my kids to these places:
1️⃣ Orange Isle
2️⃣ Meixi Lake Knot Bridge
3️⃣ Wuyi Square
4️⃣ Bisha Lake Subway Station
5️⃣ Huangxing Square
6️⃣ Yuelu Mountain
7️⃣ Meixi Lake Art Center
💢💢💢
Traveling with kids, rest is so important~ I chose the [The Luxury Collection Changsha Jinmao Hotel], which is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The hotel service is very warm, and you can rest well while traveling.
📍Location
It is very close to the subway station, and the subway line 2 goes directly to it. Next to it is the Meixi Lake Art Center, which is very close to Orange Isle, Yuelu Mountain, and the Chinese Knot Bridge. It is very convenient to take photos and check in. Wuyi Square is directly accessible by subway.
The hotel room is spacious, and the Meixi Lake Art Center is right outside the window, with a great view! The bath is Byredo, the bathrobe is flannel, and there is Asuri magazine!
The children's favorite is the hotel's pet park, where they can play for a long time: horses, deer, alpacas, lop-eared rabbits, piglets, etc. can all interact, and there is also a small playground next to it.
The hotel's infinity pool is really romantic, with a great view, and the gym and spa are also very good. The lobby bar combines elegance and modern design. When you are tired of playing, you can have an afternoon tea with both looks and taste. The design is full of Changsha culture, and you can see the little thoughts everywhere.
Restaurant🍴
The dining environment of the Wild Restaurant on the first floor is very comfortable, with a wide variety of food in the morning, and it is very delicious. My two kids are very satisfied with the food every day! The dinner buffet is very complete, with a variety of global dishes, and you can also eat local Hunan cuisine! There are also various internet-famous restaurants around the hotel.
I really love Changsha, wait for good weather, and set off again on a weekend~

Nhâm cafe
#vietnamtrip
The restaurant is quite famous and has a stable number of customers. I have been there since the restaurant first opened, but I just posted this post now 🥹 and my previous experience was better than the present.
The space is extremely spacious, with two floors and a large garden, the ceiling is high so it always feels airy and not stuffy, it is invested quite carefully so you can take pictures from almost any corner, the yellow lights are soft, the space is quiet so it feels quite relaxing.
The menu is a minus point because it only has simple drinks with normal taste, not very special, you should review this part, the price is also quite high compared to the general level here, but in return, the investment in the look is very careful, focusing on the decor so it feels worth it, in addition to drinks, there are also cakes, prices from about 45 to 75k.
The restaurant is now open 24/7 so you can come anytime, the restaurant is spacious, has many tables and is almost always crowded and the dishes are served quite slowly. Parking in front of the restaurant.
Loc: 91/1 Hoa Hung, Ward 12, District 10, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
🇵🇹 Lisbon Old Town One-Day City Walk Itinerary
Lisbon is a city perfect for city walks, despite its undulating slopes that can be quite tiring on the legs. However, this is also a unique feature of the city. As you stroll through the old town, you can see the city's worn charm, which does not detract from its appeal. The city exudes a relaxed atmosphere, and the streets are full of character.
During my day in Lisbon, the weather was unpredictable, with intermittent rain ☔️ and sunshine 🌞. Regardless of the conditions, every snapshot was picturesque. Here are some of the beautiful spots I captured:
Photo 2️⃣3️⃣: Bica Funicular, a hill-climbing tool that offers a stunning view of the sea at its highest point. I recommend taking a taxi directly to the top 📍Livraria Antiquaria do Calhariz to save some legwork‼️
Photo 4️⃣: The first intersection after climbing the Bica Funicular, where you can capture a side view of the funicular.
Photos 5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣: Starting from the Bica Funicular, follow the route of Tram 28 🚃 and walk along the undulating roads. Every shot is beautiful, although it was raining when we walked this stretch, and it would be even more stunning on a sunny day.
Photo 8️⃣: After walking through the narrow alleys, you'll arrive at a large intersection 📍Cc.Estrela Tram Station, where you can also capture the blue jacaranda trees. The sun suddenly came out when we reached this spot, after raining earlier 🌧️.
Photo 9️⃣: Located at 📍Rua de Sao Felix, this area is a quiet residential district with few people and beautiful scenery, including views of the sea.
Photo 10: Lisbon Cathedral, capturing the scene of a tram passing by.
Photos 11·12: Miradouro de Santa Luzia, a free viewpoint where you can gaze at the red rooftops and the sea.
Photo 1️⃣: Taken on the way from Lisbon Cathedral to Miradouro de Santa Luzia, I loved this shot so much that I used it as the cover photo. It's a picture I think could be made into a fridge magnet‼️
Photos 13·14·15: Located at 📍Chafariz das Moiras, this spot is absolutely stunning‼️ There's a beautiful blue jacaranda tree 🌸.
Photos 16·17: São Jorge Castle, in my opinion, is the best viewpoint in Lisbon. It's situated at the highest point, offering a 360-degree panoramic view. Although there's an entrance fee, the view is indeed better than the free viewpoints, with fewer people. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset 🌇. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal during our visit, with too many clouds and no sunset to see. There were also many peacocks 🦚 inside.

✅ Anti-theft article
Always remember to bring a mobile phone lanyard when you go to London! It can greatly reduce the probability of being stolen my friend and I did not encounter thieves throughout the whole process ~
⚠️ suggest hanging a mobile phone lanyard ➕ dumpling bag in front of the body, it will be much safer!
⚠️ Keep an eye on everything you own. There are a lot of thieves out there!
⚠️ don't recommend carrying a backpack 🎒 easy to be stolen! Crossbody bags should also be in front of you to be ok
⚠️ Remember the fanny pack must be carried in front of you the whole time, once you go to the side or the back it can be dangerous!!!!
⚠️ pay special attention to not use the mobile phone should also be held firmly, or may end up with only empty phone case
⚠️ usually go out with only mobile phone lanyard, mobile phone, charging treasure, bank card, sunglasses lipstick sunscreen, etc., and student card
⚠️ In short, watch your mobile phone, bag and bank card throughout London! It's easy to lose things!
This trip to London has come to a successful end, the big city ➕ capital is really worth a visit! London has a lot of things that Edinburgh doesn't have, but the overall pace of the city is much faster than Edinburgh! Both cities are beautiful, long-lost bustle vs. quaint serenity, each with their own characteristics ✨.

🗺️ Route
d1 Dajingfan → Dukezong Ancient Town
d2 Songzanlin Monastery → Napa Lake → Black Bean Coffee
d3 Pudacuo National Park
.
day1
➡️ Dajingfan
Arrive at Dajingfan around 12:00, when the lighting is best for photos. We recommend wearing Tibetan clothes for the best photos.
➡️ Dukezong Ancient Town
We recommend these shops: "Sangji Weina Vintage Bookstore, Old Tibet, and Pugu Cang." They're all great to visit. The classic photo spot in the ancient town is shown in picture 2. Navigate to "Zangjiwang Inn" and then go to Guishan Park to overlook the ancient town and spin the prayer wheel.
.
day2
➡️ Songzanlin Monastery
Known as the "Little Potala Palace," it is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan. It's a great place for photos! Highly recommended!
➡️ Napa Lake - Black Bean Coffee
The view from the window is stunning, and there's a healing little farm! Take bus No. 3 from Songzanlin Monastery to Hongtaiyang Square Station, then take bus No. 12 to Napa Lake. Bus No. 12 is a loop line, with the starting and ending points both at Hongtaiyang Square. Get off at Napa Lake when you see the beautiful scenery. Take bus No. 12 back to Jiantang Police Station (near the north gate of the ancient town).
.
day3
It's easy to get altitude sickness when you first arrive, so we recommend staying around the ancient town. On the third day, you can go further: Yubeng, Pudacuo National Park, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Meili Snow Mountain, etc.
➡️ Pudacuo National Park
Bus: Buy tickets at the Dukezong Ancient Town East Gate Bus Station (CNY 15 per person).
Self-driving: Navigate to the Pudacuo National Park Ticket Office. There are parking spaces at the entrance. The drive takes about 30 minutes.

🔖 Tips
❶ The temperature difference between day and night is large, so dress warmly. The UV rays are strong, and the weather is dry, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated.
❷ Try not to wash your hair on the first night. Eating less meat can help reduce altitude sickness. Open the window a little at night to improve air circulation, which can help relieve altitude sickness.

A poetic getaway in Hangzhou, a tranquil time at Xiang Lake.
My destination this time is Hangzhou, and I am at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Walking to the window, I can see the green Xiang Lake. I chose to come to Hangzhou to experience this unique tranquility and comfort.
I chose to stay at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Here, it is away from the dust but not the city, hidden from the world but not far from the world. Xiang Lake Freedom Manor is located in Xiang Lake National Tourism Resort, and its unique geographical location and architectural style attracted me.
During the day, you can choose to take a boat tour of Xiang Lake. The boat is on the water, and the surrounding mountains and rivers seem to become agile. Whenever the boat passes a small island or a stone bridge, I feel a poetic picture. When the setting sun is on the lake, the golden light makes Xiang Lake more charming.
After nightfall, I chose to stroll by Xiang Lake. Watching a live performance "Xiang Lake Ya Yun" in Xiang Lake opened up another side of this landscape for me. In this quiet night, listening to the sound of water, the sound of wind, and the sound of opera, it is intoxicating. I felt this unique charm and poetry of Xiang Lake.
The accommodation experience of Xiang Lake Freedom Manor also impressed me. The hotel's design integrates natural and modern elements, both ancient charm and fashionable atmosphere. The hotel's facilities are complete, whether it is an indoor swimming pool or a children's playground, gym, etc., it makes people feel the warmth and comfort of home. And the photos taken by the outdoor swimming pool at night are even more refreshing.
During these three days and two nights of vacation in Hangzhou, I felt an unprecedented relaxation and comfort at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. There is not only beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation experience, but also a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature. I believe that this wonderful time will become one of my unforgettable memories in my life.
I want to ask everyone why no one travels to Cambodia anymore?
Just came back from Phnom Penh, it feels like there are so few tourists, far less than the plane full of Chinese tourists when I went to Siem Reap a few years ago.
Do you still have interest in Cambodia?
In fact, Phnom Penh is much more prosperous than I imagined, apart from the higher prices, it doesn't seem as chaotic as rumored. Here's a Citywalk route in the city for your reference:
👣Wat Phnom - Central Market - Royal Palace of Phnom Penh - Mekong River
Except for the Grand Palace, there are no admission fees, which is very suitable for tourists to stroll around.
1️⃣ Central Market
Originally a French church, it was later turned into a market. The interior dome is very distinctive, and they sell everything, but just looking is fine, no need to buy.
2️⃣ Wat Phnom
A typical Southeast Asian temple, right in the city center, close to everything, not very big, just for a leisurely walk. If you have been to Angkor Wat, you will find Wat Phnom too ordinary.
3️⃣ Royal Palace of Phnom Penh
Probably the most worthwhile place to visit in the Phnom Penh city area.
Admission is 10 US dollars (really expensive).
The open part is not much, but the architecture is still exquisite, and there are few tourists. Feeding pigeons at the entrance is also nice. Pay attention to the dress code; tops should have sleeves, and bottoms should be below the knee.
4️⃣ The Mekong River is very suitable for walking, and there are quite a few people running in the morning. Watching the sunset is nice.
🏨 Hotel: Rosewood Phnom Penh
I just found out that there is a Rosewood in Phnom Penh, located on the top floor inside the Vattanac Capital Tower, boasting all the high-altitude scenery of Phnom Penh, with the entire cityscape and the world-famous Mekong River in view. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to all major attractions.
☑️ It blends modern and traditional styles, with both old money vibe and artistic sense.
☑️ The dining options are rich and varied. I tried the Brasserie Louis restaurant on the 35th floor and the dazzling Chinese restaurant on B1 for everyone. I love the Hong Kong-style roast meats and pig's trotter noodles, saying it's the best Chinese food in Phnom Penh is not an overstatement.
☑️ You must go to the sky bar on the 37th floor for a drink! The cantilevered terrace is really amazing, with the sunset and city night view in full view.
☑️ The hotel has its own tuk-tuk, no need to be cheated by roadside tuk-tuks anymore.
PS: Be sure to negotiate the price before getting on a roadside tuk-tuk; I think the security is okay, but it's still better not to go out alone at night; take good care of your belongings, if you have a camera, try to hang it around your neck.
The best hotel to stay in Dubai - experience the true Arabian style of One Thousand and One Nights!

Among them, the Al Fayrooz Lounge in the lobby of the palace is not only known for its exquisite food, but also for its environment and view, making it one of the best places in the entire castle. Whether it's day or night, it makes you feel like you're in a prosperous and luxurious Arabian palace from hundreds of years ago - it's really like traveling back to One Thousand and One Nights!

The scent of Maison Francis Kurkdjian is like magic, with each perfume being a carefully crafted work of art, exuding a unique fragrance and story.

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

🎞️ Lili Ancient Town was a filming location for the TV series "Good League Member".
📸 If you want to take photos in traditional Chinese clothing or a qipao, you'll need to bring your own clothes and makeup, as there are no costume shops in the ancient town.
🗺️ The ancient town is small, but the shops are full of surprises. Behind the small storefronts, you'll find intangible cultural heritage crafts, private museums, and time-honored restaurants. Take your time to explore.

Pattaya Hotels | Rooftop Restaurant & Family Fun, Brand New Internet-Famous Ocean View Hotel.
| Rooftop Restaurant & Family Fun, Brand New Internet-Famous Ocean View Hotel. There are several Grande Centre Point hotels in Bangkok. I've stayed at the Sukhumvit location before, and it left a good impression. This time I chose Grande Centre Point Pattaya for my trip to Pattaya, and I'd like to share my check-in experience.
The hotel is very new and right next to the newly opened Terminal 21 shopping center. The hotel's G floor connects directly to the mall, making dining and shopping very convenient. Let's Relax is on the first floor, the Tiffany Show theater is opposite the hotel, and the beach is a five-minute walk away. The location is excellent.
I booked an ocean view suite. The room is spacious, with a balcony offering direct ocean views, a walk-in closet, and a large bathtub. The ceiling has constellation lights. It's quite enjoyable to lie in bed, admire the scenery, and gaze at the constellations.
The hotel has two restaurants. One is on the 32nd floor rooftop, which I highly recommend. It has an excellent view, perfect for afternoon tea on a sunny day or dinner at sunset—a great spot for photos. The buffet restaurant is on the F floor. The breakfast is plentiful, and they have a delicious Thai-style omelet. Every Saturday, they offer a super cost-effective seafood buffet for CNY 150 per person.
The garden pool on the F floor is perfect for kids. There's a high-altitude glass walkway, a children's pool, and a super cute kids' club. It's not just for kids; even I, as a grown-up, could spend a lot of time there.😜 I plan to bring my baby back next time.
Pattaya, Bang Lamung
Don't miss this spot when you travel to Nairobi, Kenya!
Finally set foot on the magical land of Kenya!🇰🇪
I spent a super fulfilling day in Nairobi, using point-to-point taxis throughout the whole journey.
Playing freely and without any pressure.
✨One-day tour route in Nairobi:
Giraffe Centre➡️Karen Blixen Museum➡️National Museums of Kenya
You must visit the National Museums of Kenya when you come to Nairobi!
It doesn't cover a particularly large area, and you can easily explore it in one or two hours.
However, the museum has a rich collection, carrying Kenya's profound historical and cultural heritage.
Stepping into the museum is like opening a vivid historical masterpiece.🦋
From the ancient Kenyan tribal culture to the social changes during the colonial period, and then to the vigorous development after independence, precious cultural relics and detailed information from various historical stages are all presented here.🪄
The lifelike animal specimens in the museum are also amazing.💐
They vividly restore Kenya's diverse wildlife ecology.
From the lion, the king of the grasslands, to the agile antelope, and then to the huge elephant, each specimen is exquisitely made.🦒
It makes people feel as if they are in the vast wilderness of Kenya.
Here, you can not only appreciate the beauty of animals' forms🦁
but also gain an in-depth understanding of their living habits and habitats.
You can have a more comprehensive understanding of Kenya's unique ecosystem~
There is also a snake park next to the museum, which you can visit if you have time.
💡However, I have to complain that buying tickets here is really inconvenient.
Just like the Karen Blixen Museum, you can only buy tickets using the local M-Pesa.
So everyone must allow enough time!
