For this set of photos, I specifically flew to Chongqing. The winding alleys of the mountain city led me to discover the real Chongqing when my navigation failed. 📷 About the photo spots: 1️⃣ Chongqing Circle: A fantastic spot to capture a photo with Raffles City. The location is diagonally opposite the Hugui Stone Bus Stop. 2️⃣ Longmenhao Old Street: Take the elevator to the 4th floor, walk about 30 meters uphill, and the door frame will be on your right. 3️⃣ Rainbow Stairs: Navigate to Yuwei Xiaoyu Hotpot (Pipa Mountain Main Street), and the Rainbow Stairs are right next door. 4️⃣ I Love Chongqing: Navigate to the Southeast Gate 1 of Beicheng Tianjie. The large screen across the pedestrian bridge displays "I Love Chongqing" in rotation. 5️⃣ People's Great Hall: Opposite the Great Hall is the Three Gorges Museum. You can visit the museum before heading to the Great Hall for photos. 6️⃣ Huangge Ancient Path: A healing forest trail perfect for hiking and enjoying nature. 7️⃣ Luohan Temple: A temple nestled amidst the concrete jungle of the city. 8️⃣ Raffles City Backstreet: A juxtaposition of the old and new, showcasing the city's development. 9️⃣ Huguang Guild Hall: The photo spot is near Dongshuimen Bridge. 📝 About the itinerary: 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: Jiefangbei ➠ Bayi Food Street ➠ Baixiangju ➠ Huguang Guild Hall ➠ Yangtze River Cableway ➠ Hongyadong ➠ Qiansimen Bridge 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: Liziba ➠ E’ling Second Factory ➠ Ciqikou ➠ Guanyinqiao ➠ Jiujie Night Market 💡 Tips for your trip: ✅ Be sure to wear sneakers! The steep slopes will make you question life. ✅ Combine navigation with asking for directions (it’s an 8D city, after all). ✅ "Mildly spicy" is the ultimate compromise 🌶️

If you have plenty of time and don’t accept special forces-style travel, this guide is of no reference value; but if you have limited annual leave, a tight budget, and want to check off the main attractions in a short time, scroll down for reference💡 This Guizhou trip covered 4 places: Guiyang city, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Libo Xiaoqikong, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village (Fanjing Mountain was not visited due to lack of time). Here is the detailed itinerary: Day 1 Arrive by plane in Guiyang → Guiyang Airport Shuttle Bus to Guiyang North Station (1 hour) → High-speed train to Anshun West (about 30 minutes) → Direct shuttle bus to Huangguoshu (35 minutes) 🎑 Stay near Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area Huangguoshu 21°C Hotel 👉🏻 No sightseeing on the first day, dinner outside the scenic area, and a simple stroll around. Highly recommend this hotel for its cost performance and shuttle service to the scenic area (the owner will drive you to the entrance in a Maybach!). Day 2 Visit Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area (7h) → Direct shuttle to Anshun West High-speed Rail Station (35 minutes) → High-speed train to Libo (1h 45mins) → Scenic area shuttle bus to Xiaoqikong Scenic Area East Gate (about 15 minutes) 🎑 Stay inside Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area Ruijing Hotel 👉🏻 Huangguoshu route: Big Waterfall, lower half of Tianxing Bridge, Doupotang (only the god’s view), skipping some small spots. This way you finish early and can rest and eat at the entrance. There are many detailed guides available online. 💡 For photos, it’s recommended to visit Water Curtain Cave last at the Big Waterfall because you will get wet and makeup may smudge. 👉🏻 The hotel in Libo is a bit older but has good service. The advantage is you can enter the scenic area early the next day to shoot popular spots without crowds (opens at 8 am). Day 3 Visit Xiaoqikong Scenic Area (6h) → Direct shuttle to Qianhu Miao Village West Gate (about 3.5 hours) 🎑 Stay inside the Miao Village Yixiangju Panorama Hotel 👉🏻 Xiaoqikong highlights: only visit Xiaoqikong, Laya Waterfall, 68-step Waterfall, Wolong Pool; no visit to Yuanyang Lake (no boating). Highly recommend eating Banji Thumb Beef Noodles outside the East Gate. 👉🏻 This hotel is a must-recommend! The owner helps with luggage, suggests efficient routes and shuttle bus tips, and rooms offer panoramic views of the Miao Village. Day 4 Visit Qianhu Miao Village (8h) → Carpool to Kaili South High-speed Rail Station (about 40 minutes) → High-speed train to Guiyang North (36 minutes) 🎑 Stay near Guiyang North Station Atour Hotel 👉🏻 Many people avoid the Miao Village, but it’s actually very fun. The difficult roads are part of its unique terrain. After the first two stops, you can basically accept it. The village terrain is V-shaped, with the main street at the lowest point and accommodations on the hillsides. Choose lodging close to the shuttle bus stops because dragging luggage uphill is really exhausting. Day 5 Visit Guiyang city → Taxi to the airport (25 km) Special Forces Tips💡 1. Choose high-speed trains + direct scenic area shuttles to save time; check schedules and book tickets in advance. 2. At Huangguoshu, focus on the Big Waterfall and lower half of Tianxing Bridge; Doupotang panoramic view is enough, don’t overdo it and waste energy. 3. Arrive at Libo Xiaoqikong an hour early to shoot empty scenes and avoid crowds, doubling your chances of great photos. 4. Choose Miao Village lodging near shuttle stops; the owner’s help with luggage saves a lot of effort, and panoramic rooms have amazing night views. 5. Wear comfortable sneakers throughout; daily steps exceed 10,000, and hard-soled shoes will make you question life. The beauty of Guizhou is hidden in its mountains, waters, and local life. Although the special forces-style fast pace is tiring, the satisfaction of checking off every attraction is unbeatable~

Finally! Spending a 19°C summer in Shangri-La, Yunnan Skip the overcrowded grasslands of Xinjiang's Nalati and Inner Mongolia— Shangri-La, Yunnan, is the ultimate summer retreat. In July, Napahai Lake is half a mirror of glass, half a carpet of emerald green. Staying at Highland Resort is like stepping into the cool, poetic heart of the plateau. 🌊 Twin Charms of Summer: The Dance of Lakes and Grasslands Napahai sheds its winter vastness, transforming into a "Mirror of the Sky." The lake overflows into alpine pools, reflecting snow-capped mountains and drifting clouds; The lakeside meadows grow wildly into Yila Grassland, where yaks and sheep dot the green like scattered pearls. Capture stunning grassland photos (p6-10) without even leaving the hotel. 🎚️ Mid-summer in Shangri-La averages just 15-25°C—mornings and evenings call for a light jacket, while afternoons are perfect for iced coffee in the shade, far from the city's heat. 🖼️ Cycle around the lake on hotel-provided bikes: half your wheels glide over shimmering waves, the other half through ankle-deep grass swaying in the wind, where wildflowers weave into a floral carpet. 🏔️ Tibetan Summer Aesthetics: Cultural Coolness and Alpine Flavors 🍴 Naxiang Palace Restaurant: It's Yunnan mushroom season! Savor chilled matsutake sashimi served with mountain spring water, or drizzle wild honey over yak yogurt for a taste of the snow-capped peaks. 🍰 Grassland Afternoon Tea: Tibetan snacks served on copper trays, paired with hand-brewed coffee to refresh your entire summer, all to the rhythm of yak bells as you bask in the sunlight. 💃🏻 Tibetan Robe Stroll: Don crimson robes as light as cicada wings, adorned with silver jewelry that chimes across the grassland—effortlessly pose for "plateau-style" photos. 🍄 Matsutake Hunting: Follow Tibetan locals at dawn to forage for mushrooms, gently unearthing them as their caps unfurl, then return to simmer a hearty pot of free-range chicken and matsutake soup—so fresh it chases away the summer heat. ⛺ A Stay in the Clouds: The 19°C Summer Night Equation Your room is a cool sanctuary: oxygen-enriched with a terrace where breezes feel like forest winds. Lounge under the stars till late, as the Milky Way dips into the lake—close enough to touch. 🌌 Napahai's Endless Night: Romance Under a Starry Summer Sky 🥃 Summer Night Bar: Listen to Tibetan bands sing the epic of King Gesar, while fireflies and stars compete for brilliance outside the window. 🔥 Bonfire Without Flames: Replace flames with butter lamps in summer, and gather around to learn the art of carving Nixi black pottery, the cool clay soothing like spring water in your palms. ⚠️ Summer Travel Tips 1️⃣ Best Time: Mid-July to August, when alpine lakes are fullest, grasslands lush, and matsutake in season. 2️⃣ Outfit Formula: Noon: T-shirt + sunproof sleeves + wide-brimmed hat Mornings/Evenings: Fleece jacket Summer at Highland Resort is like nature's secret treasure—a lake of jade, half a wilderness of green silk, and a sprinkle of stars as silver coins. When you leave, your luggage will brim with the scent of pine and cool breezes, enough to soothe you through the sweltering year ahead.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

Lucerne isn't for rushing - slow travel is the way to go!

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.
