staycation · Living in a seaside resort hotel of life
On the tranquil coast of Tianya Town, no need to rush your schedule or squeeze through crowds. Here, days are stretched by sea breeze, sunsets, and slow moments, unlocking a healing island staycation. · Opening the balcony of the guest room, you are immediately stunned by a 270° unobstructed sea view, with a clear and open sightline. Looking up, you can take in all of Tianya Town at once. During the day, watch fishing boats drifting on the sea; at dusk, see the sunset dye the sea orange. You can immerse yourself in the sea view even while lying in bed. · The rooftop infinity pool is my favorite photo spot on this trip! With a 270-degree panoramic sea view, the pool water seamlessly merges with the blue ocean. Standing by the pool, you can daydream while watching the sea and planes flying by. · The hotel hides a large seaside lawn surrounded by clusters of coconut trees and tropical greenery, creating a full tropical rainforest atmosphere. On sunny days, you can lay out a picnic mat on the lawn and wait for the sunset. On one side is the green lawn, on the other the blue sea—dual views of land and sea for double the healing. · When tired from playing, retreat to Tianya Academy, with 3,000 books in a quiet and elegant setting. It’s a perfect peaceful escape in the midst of bustle, ideal for zoning out and reading. Enjoy self-service DIY coffee with unlimited refills to slow down your vacation pace. · At dusk, head to Songhua Brew • Sunset Tavern, facing the sea sunset directly. The evening breeze pairs with a slightly tipsy drink, and the orange sunset clouds spread across the sea, so romantic you won’t want to leave. · 📍: Sanya Tianya Blue Sea Resort Hotel Distance from Sanya Phoenix International Airport: 12 minutes Nanhai Guanyin: 15 minutes Xidao Island Boarding Point: 15 minutes It turns out the most comfortable vacation in Sanya is not just a quick sightseeing tour, but living immersed in the mountains and sea.789Max~Mitchell$135Hidden Gem in Anji Creek Courtyard!

Over 300 levels of terraced fields stretch from the clouds down to the foot of the mountain, truly a fingerprint of the earth.
My social circle is flooded with questions again! It’s definitely not Switzerland, but the Tang’an Terraces deep in the mountains of Guizhou! Recognized by National Geographic as one of "China’s Seven Most Beautiful Hiking Routes," these more than 300 layers of stone terraces extend from the mountain base to the clouds, with morning mist and sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away. 🌾 Terrace Activities · Morning Mist Wonderland (6:00-7:00): Depart from Zhaoxing early in the morning to watch the mist wander through the valley terraces. When sunlight pierces through the clouds, the terraces look like golden fingerprints. · Golden Hour at Sunset (17:00-19:00): Climb the viewing platform to see the sunset dye the layered terraces golden, with smoke curling in the distance, roosters crowing, dogs barking—a breathtaking earthly scene. · Best Seasons: The “Mirror Terraces” during the irrigation period in April-May are stunning, and the “Golden Ocean” during the harvest season in September-October is spectacular. 🚶 Transportation Tips · Shuttle Bus Round Trip: Take the bus from the parking lot next to the Zhaoxing Village gate, 20 RMB per person round trip, 20 minutes each way, running every half hour from 8 AM to 6 PM. · Hiking Route: About 5-7 kilometers, taking 1.5-2.5 hours. Known as “China’s Most Beautiful Hiking Trail,” it’s recommended to take the bus up and hike down to save energy. 📸 Photo Spots · Mid-Mountain Home: The backyard of a family selling rice wine—captures terraces, drum towers, and distant mountains in one frame, almost unknown to most. · Second Floor of Village Entrance Restaurant: Terraces like “First Encounter” and “Field Smoke” restaurants have terraces offering free panoramic terrace views. · Around the Drum Tower: The Qing Dynasty drum tower at the village center, where you can capture daily life of the Dong people with elders warming by the fire and chatting. 💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls · Choose the Right Weather: Overcast days or the fallow period from November to March greatly diminish the scenery. · Wear Non-Slip Shoes: Stone paths are very slippery after rain; bring rain gear to handle the variable mountain weather. · Mind the Return Time: The last shuttle bus leaves at 6 PM. If you miss it, you’ll need to carpool (30 RMB per person) or hike down. The clouds nurture the mountains, and the mountains nurture the fields—this is the world’s only Dong ethnic ecological museum jointly built by China and Norway. It’s not just a tourist spot, but a living agricultural civilization. Let’s go, and have a date with the sea of cloud terraces! 🌄Thompson_~Noah181h from Chengdu!

Sanxiang Village: A Southern Song Dynasty time capsule hidden in Foshan, with flower boats gliding along an 800-year-old ancient waterway Turning off the main road in Baini Town, Sanshui District, Foshan, onto an inconspicuous cement path, you suddenly encounter a stretch of wok ear gable walls—the bluish-gray tiled roofs resemble butterflies spreading their wings, undulating under the sunlight. This is Sanxiang Village. Around 800 years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of ancestors dug canals to divert water here, and three ancient alleys were built along the waterways, giving the village its name. The time code of the ancient alleys Walking on the cobblestone-paved alleys, the stone slabs underfoot are polished shiny, with porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in the cracks. The most fascinating are the three main alleys: "Xingren Li" is paved with bluestone slabs that don’t accumulate water on rainy days; "Yuxiu Li" hides a century-old well with water still crystal clear; and "Zhonghe Li" has walls covered with bougainvillea, whose petals fall into the passing grandmother’s vegetable basket, sparking a burst of laughter and teasing. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall stands right at the alley entrance. On the wooden carved beams from 1511, you can still see patterns of merchant ships "leaving the West Sea and heading to the South Seas." The uncle guarding the hall says that in earlier times, villagers set off from here, taking wooden boats down the Xijiang River to the South Seas to make a living. Now, a miniature wooden boat model is displayed inside the hall, with patches on the sail replicated exactly. The millennium-old water sluice that "knows how to drink water" The village’s most remarkable feature is the ancient water sluice. A hidden channel paved with bluestone slabs runs beneath the alleys, with water from the Xijiang River flowing "babbling" into the village, winding around the base of every house’s wall, and finally merging into the fish pond at the village’s end. "This is the wisdom of our ancestors," the uncle squats by the channel, pointing at the moss in the stone cracks, "it stores water during droughts and drains floods during heavy rains, and hasn’t flooded even once in hundreds of years." Taking a flower boat ride along the ancient waterway at dusk is the most delightful experience. The boatwoman rows the oar, the wooden boat glides over the water, startling a flock of egrets. The wok ear gable walls on both banks reflect in the water, light shines through carved wooden windows, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifts by. Passing the old site of "Yuxing Inn," you can still see the faint words "Boat Ticket Sales" on the wall. It is said that buying a boat ticket here once allowed you to drift all the way to Hong Kong. The ancient village flavors on the tip of your tongue You must try the grandmother’s sweet soup stall at the village entrance. The tangerine peel red bean soup uses tangerine peel from an old tree behind the village, sweet and mellow; the pot cake includes local arrowhead powder, chewy with a slight earthy flavor. Further ahead, the "Sanxiang Eatery" serves purple perilla fried river shrimp—the shrimp freshly caught from the water sluice, the perilla picked from the wall tops, stir-fried with a spicy wok aroma, paired with a bowl of chilled winter melon tea, so refreshing you can’t help but smack your lips. For accommodation, the "Wok Ear House Homestay" at the alley’s end is recommended. The old house has been renovated, preserving wooden lofts and a courtyard. Woken by rooster crowing in the early morning, leaning on the windowsill watching the grandmother pounding clothes by the water sluice, you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time. Practical tips · Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Sanshui Baini Sanxiang Village," free parking is available at the village entrance; or take the bus to "Baini Market Station," then a 10-minute walk. · Admission: Free; the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is closed every Wednesday for maintenance. · Tips: Flower boat rides cost 20 RMB per person, best lighting after 6 PM; remember to wear non-slip shoes as the stone slabs in the alleys are slippery when wet. Looking back when leaving, the sunset dyes the wok ear gable walls golden red, the water in the sluice "ting-dong" sounds like it’s telling stories of those who sailed across the seas. Perhaps the magic of this ancient village lies here—800 years of history not turned into a trendy check-in spot, but instead fermenting the everyday life into a fine wine, waiting for you to savor slowly.FireflyMagic4199826Cheapest Way to Hong Kong Disneyland 🚆

The Monster Building in Hong Kong is an absolutely mind-blowing spot. 🏢🤖 If you're a fan of cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, or just appreciate unconventional architecture, this is the place for you. 🦾 What is the Monster Building? It's a residential complex made up of five interconnected buildings. Inside, there's a massive courtyard surrounded on all sides by an endless maze of balconies, pipes, stairs, and windows. The housing density is so high that the sky becomes just a tiny, bright square high above. It's an anthill, but in the best sense of the word. This location is incredibly cinematic: 🎬 Transformers was filmed here (yep, Michael Bay couldn't resist it either) 🎬 The Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell vibes are literally in the air 📍 Where is it and how to get there The complex is called the Yick Cheong Building (sometimes referred to as the Yick Fat Building). Address: Quarry Bay, King's Road, Quarry Bay MTR station (Exit A). Entry is free. But! This is a residential building. Real people actually live here, so the golden rule is respect: 🤫 Keep the noise down 📸 You can take photos, but don't be obnoxious about it 🙅♂️ Don't wander into the lobbies or try to force your way onto the upper floors 📐 How to shoot to get that iconic shot · Step into the courtyard, stand right in the middle, and point your camera straight up. That symmetrical shot with the balconies stretching into infinity is a classic. · Come at dusk when the lights and windows start glowing. The neon lights, pipes, and wires create pure cyberpunk magic. · Bring a wide-angle lens if you have one. It looks epic on an iPhone too, especially in vertical mode. 💡 Pro tips: ⏰ The best time to visit is on weekdays, either in the morning or closer to sunset. Weekends and lunch hours get super crowded. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the courtyard ground isn't always perfectly even. ☕️ There are tons of local cafes nearby. After your shoot, grab some authentic Hong Kong milk tea and soak in the neighborhood's vibe. 🌆 Bottom line: The Monster Building isn't just "another photo op." It's the absolute quintessence of Hong Kong: cramped, noisy, alive, and incredibly photogenic. If you're in the city for a few days and want to see something beyond the postcard-perfect skyscrapers, you definitely need to swing by Quarry Bay. This isn't a movie set. It's real life that looks straight out of a movie. Have you been here? Drop your shots in the comments below! 👇📸Savelii Zharov209-

🏨 The Olympian Hong Kong - Spacious Rooms in a Quiet Area
Looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hong Kong without giving up convenience? The Olympian was a great surprise. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it’s only a comfortable walk from the MTR station. There are several shopping malls nearby, so finding restaurants or doing a bit of shopping is easy. One thing I really loved was the waterfront promenade right outside the hotel. It’s perfect for a morning run or an evening walk, and you’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment and a children’s playground along the way. The rooms are much more spacious than I expected for Hong Kong, with high ceilings and beautiful views from the windows that make the space feel even bigger. If you prefer staying away from the busiest tourist areas while still having everything within easy reach, I’d definitely recommend The Olympian. #theolympian #hongkong #hotel #hôtelYuliya Lodya15 You can walk out of your room and swim directly to the beach

You can easily spent several hours in Santa Catalina Monastery (Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena), but you could also see it in under one hour. The different courtyards partly represent the stages of prospect nuns on their journey to a life in the monastery. The "cells" of the nuns are poor or rich depending on the affluence of their families, which is especially interesting compared to European monasteries where nuns and monks live in rather austere environs. The bold, complementary colors of the buildings are great for photography and the many nooks and crannies make for a plethora of motives. As if that wasn't enough, the snow covered volcanos loom just outside the walls. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytoursDavid-at-Large1Nordic Fjord Town Travel Diary: Healing Scenery Even on Rainy Days
One summer eight years ago, I stayed alone in a small town by the Nordic fjords.

#hkonbudget#businesstrip#budget#trams#dumplings#foodie#market During my business trip to Hong Kong last month, I stayed at Ramada Hong Kong Grand View. I chose this hotel mainly for its convenient location near my workplace and its affordable price. This casual high-rise hotel overlooking Kowloon Bay is located along Chun Yeung Street, a lively street that retains the charm of old Hong Kong. The area is bustling with local market stalls selling fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood, and the iconic tram passes right through the street — giving the neighbourhood a nostalgic atmosphere. North Point MTR Station is about a 6-minute walk away, while the North Point Ferry Pier (with ferry service to Kowloon) is around 8 minutes on foot. My room was clean and comfortable, equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and tea & coffee-making facilities. The hotel also features a low-key restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, and a rooftop pool offering great city views. There’s even a free shuttle bus service for added convenience. The surrounding area is filled with eateries — I especially loved Mak Kee (麥記美食) for its Pan-fried Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, both delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a great experience — a pleasant stay with good comfort, convenience, and excellent value for money.Nature Lover6815Family Trip to Liupanshui, Guizhou!

Over 300 levels of terraced fields stretch from the clouds down to the foot of the mountain, truly a fingerprint of the earth.
My social circle is flooded with questions again! It’s definitely not Switzerland, but the Tang’an Terraces deep in the mountains of Guizhou! Recognized by National Geographic as one of "China’s Seven Most Beautiful Hiking Routes," these more than 300 layers of stone terraces extend from the mountain base to the clouds, with morning mist and sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away. 🌾 Terrace Activities · Morning Mist Wonderland (6:00-7:00): Depart from Zhaoxing early in the morning to watch the mist wander through the valley terraces. When sunlight pierces through the clouds, the terraces look like golden fingerprints. · Golden Hour at Sunset (17:00-19:00): Climb the viewing platform to see the sunset dye the layered terraces golden, with smoke curling in the distance, roosters crowing, dogs barking—a breathtaking earthly scene. · Best Seasons: The “Mirror Terraces” during the irrigation period in April-May are stunning, and the “Golden Ocean” during the harvest season in September-October is spectacular. 🚶 Transportation Tips · Shuttle Bus Round Trip: Take the bus from the parking lot next to the Zhaoxing Village gate, 20 RMB per person round trip, 20 minutes each way, running every half hour from 8 AM to 6 PM. · Hiking Route: About 5-7 kilometers, taking 1.5-2.5 hours. Known as “China’s Most Beautiful Hiking Trail,” it’s recommended to take the bus up and hike down to save energy. 📸 Photo Spots · Mid-Mountain Home: The backyard of a family selling rice wine—captures terraces, drum towers, and distant mountains in one frame, almost unknown to most. · Second Floor of Village Entrance Restaurant: Terraces like “First Encounter” and “Field Smoke” restaurants have terraces offering free panoramic terrace views. · Around the Drum Tower: The Qing Dynasty drum tower at the village center, where you can capture daily life of the Dong people with elders warming by the fire and chatting. 💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls · Choose the Right Weather: Overcast days or the fallow period from November to March greatly diminish the scenery. · Wear Non-Slip Shoes: Stone paths are very slippery after rain; bring rain gear to handle the variable mountain weather. · Mind the Return Time: The last shuttle bus leaves at 6 PM. If you miss it, you’ll need to carpool (30 RMB per person) or hike down. The clouds nurture the mountains, and the mountains nurture the fields—this is the world’s only Dong ethnic ecological museum jointly built by China and Norway. It’s not just a tourist spot, but a living agricultural civilization. Let’s go, and have a date with the sea of cloud terraces! 🌄Thompson_~Noah181h from Chengdu!

Morning light is soft, making it the best time for flower viewing and sightseeing_1993_Dan_28Foshan hides an 800-year-old ancient alley, where every paddle stroke tells a story
Sanxiang Village: A Southern Song Dynasty time capsule hidden in Foshan, with flower boats gliding along an 800-year-old ancient waterway Turning off the main road in Baini Town, Sanshui District, Foshan, onto an inconspicuous cement path, you suddenly encounter a stretch of wok ear gable walls—the bluish-gray tiled roofs resemble butterflies spreading their wings, undulating under the sunlight. This is Sanxiang Village. Around 800 years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of ancestors dug canals to divert water here, and three ancient alleys were built along the waterways, giving the village its name. The time code of the ancient alleys Walking on the cobblestone-paved alleys, the stone slabs underfoot are polished shiny, with porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in the cracks. The most fascinating are the three main alleys: "Xingren Li" is paved with bluestone slabs that don’t accumulate water on rainy days; "Yuxiu Li" hides a century-old well with water still crystal clear; and "Zhonghe Li" has walls covered with bougainvillea, whose petals fall into the passing grandmother’s vegetable basket, sparking a burst of laughter and teasing. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall stands right at the alley entrance. On the wooden carved beams from 1511, you can still see patterns of merchant ships "leaving the West Sea and heading to the South Seas." The uncle guarding the hall says that in earlier times, villagers set off from here, taking wooden boats down the Xijiang River to the South Seas to make a living. Now, a miniature wooden boat model is displayed inside the hall, with patches on the sail replicated exactly. The millennium-old water sluice that "knows how to drink water" The village’s most remarkable feature is the ancient water sluice. A hidden channel paved with bluestone slabs runs beneath the alleys, with water from the Xijiang River flowing "babbling" into the village, winding around the base of every house’s wall, and finally merging into the fish pond at the village’s end. "This is the wisdom of our ancestors," the uncle squats by the channel, pointing at the moss in the stone cracks, "it stores water during droughts and drains floods during heavy rains, and hasn’t flooded even once in hundreds of years." Taking a flower boat ride along the ancient waterway at dusk is the most delightful experience. The boatwoman rows the oar, the wooden boat glides over the water, startling a flock of egrets. The wok ear gable walls on both banks reflect in the water, light shines through carved wooden windows, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifts by. Passing the old site of "Yuxing Inn," you can still see the faint words "Boat Ticket Sales" on the wall. It is said that buying a boat ticket here once allowed you to drift all the way to Hong Kong. The ancient village flavors on the tip of your tongue You must try the grandmother’s sweet soup stall at the village entrance. The tangerine peel red bean soup uses tangerine peel from an old tree behind the village, sweet and mellow; the pot cake includes local arrowhead powder, chewy with a slight earthy flavor. Further ahead, the "Sanxiang Eatery" serves purple perilla fried river shrimp—the shrimp freshly caught from the water sluice, the perilla picked from the wall tops, stir-fried with a spicy wok aroma, paired with a bowl of chilled winter melon tea, so refreshing you can’t help but smack your lips. For accommodation, the "Wok Ear House Homestay" at the alley’s end is recommended. The old house has been renovated, preserving wooden lofts and a courtyard. Woken by rooster crowing in the early morning, leaning on the windowsill watching the grandmother pounding clothes by the water sluice, you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time. Practical tips · Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Sanshui Baini Sanxiang Village," free parking is available at the village entrance; or take the bus to "Baini Market Station," then a 10-minute walk. · Admission: Free; the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is closed every Wednesday for maintenance. · Tips: Flower boat rides cost 20 RMB per person, best lighting after 6 PM; remember to wear non-slip shoes as the stone slabs in the alleys are slippery when wet. Looking back when leaving, the sunset dyes the wok ear gable walls golden red, the water in the sluice "ting-dong" sounds like it’s telling stories of those who sailed across the seas. Perhaps the magic of this ancient village lies here—800 years of history not turned into a trendy check-in spot, but instead fermenting the everyday life into a fine wine, waiting for you to savor slowly.FireflyMagic4199826Cheapest Way to Hong Kong Disneyland 🚆

The Monster Building in Hong Kong is an absolutely mind-blowing spot. 🏢🤖 If you're a fan of cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, or just appreciate unconventional architecture, this is the place for you. 🦾 What is the Monster Building? It's a residential complex made up of five interconnected buildings. Inside, there's a massive courtyard surrounded on all sides by an endless maze of balconies, pipes, stairs, and windows. The housing density is so high that the sky becomes just a tiny, bright square high above. It's an anthill, but in the best sense of the word. This location is incredibly cinematic: 🎬 Transformers was filmed here (yep, Michael Bay couldn't resist it either) 🎬 The Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell vibes are literally in the air 📍 Where is it and how to get there The complex is called the Yick Cheong Building (sometimes referred to as the Yick Fat Building). Address: Quarry Bay, King's Road, Quarry Bay MTR station (Exit A). Entry is free. But! This is a residential building. Real people actually live here, so the golden rule is respect: 🤫 Keep the noise down 📸 You can take photos, but don't be obnoxious about it 🙅♂️ Don't wander into the lobbies or try to force your way onto the upper floors 📐 How to shoot to get that iconic shot · Step into the courtyard, stand right in the middle, and point your camera straight up. That symmetrical shot with the balconies stretching into infinity is a classic. · Come at dusk when the lights and windows start glowing. The neon lights, pipes, and wires create pure cyberpunk magic. · Bring a wide-angle lens if you have one. It looks epic on an iPhone too, especially in vertical mode. 💡 Pro tips: ⏰ The best time to visit is on weekdays, either in the morning or closer to sunset. Weekends and lunch hours get super crowded. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the courtyard ground isn't always perfectly even. ☕️ There are tons of local cafes nearby. After your shoot, grab some authentic Hong Kong milk tea and soak in the neighborhood's vibe. 🌆 Bottom line: The Monster Building isn't just "another photo op." It's the absolute quintessence of Hong Kong: cramped, noisy, alive, and incredibly photogenic. If you're in the city for a few days and want to see something beyond the postcard-perfect skyscrapers, you definitely need to swing by Quarry Bay. This isn't a movie set. It's real life that looks straight out of a movie. Have you been here? Drop your shots in the comments below! 👇📸Savelii Zharov209-

🏨 The Olympian Hong Kong - Spacious Rooms in a Quiet Area
Looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hong Kong without giving up convenience? The Olympian was a great surprise. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it’s only a comfortable walk from the MTR station. There are several shopping malls nearby, so finding restaurants or doing a bit of shopping is easy. One thing I really loved was the waterfront promenade right outside the hotel. It’s perfect for a morning run or an evening walk, and you’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment and a children’s playground along the way. The rooms are much more spacious than I expected for Hong Kong, with high ceilings and beautiful views from the windows that make the space feel even bigger. If you prefer staying away from the busiest tourist areas while still having everything within easy reach, I’d definitely recommend The Olympian. #theolympian #hongkong #hotel #hôtelYuliya Lodya15 You can walk out of your room and swim directly to the beach

You can easily spent several hours in Santa Catalina Monastery (Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena), but you could also see it in under one hour. The different courtyards partly represent the stages of prospect nuns on their journey to a life in the monastery. The "cells" of the nuns are poor or rich depending on the affluence of their families, which is especially interesting compared to European monasteries where nuns and monks live in rather austere environs. The bold, complementary colors of the buildings are great for photography and the many nooks and crannies make for a plethora of motives. As if that wasn't enough, the snow covered volcanos loom just outside the walls. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytoursDavid-at-Large1Nordic Fjord Town Travel Diary: Healing Scenery Even on Rainy Days
One summer eight years ago, I stayed alone in a small town by the Nordic fjords.

#hkonbudget#businesstrip#budget#trams#dumplings#foodie#market During my business trip to Hong Kong last month, I stayed at Ramada Hong Kong Grand View. I chose this hotel mainly for its convenient location near my workplace and its affordable price. This casual high-rise hotel overlooking Kowloon Bay is located along Chun Yeung Street, a lively street that retains the charm of old Hong Kong. The area is bustling with local market stalls selling fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood, and the iconic tram passes right through the street — giving the neighbourhood a nostalgic atmosphere. North Point MTR Station is about a 6-minute walk away, while the North Point Ferry Pier (with ferry service to Kowloon) is around 8 minutes on foot. My room was clean and comfortable, equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and tea & coffee-making facilities. The hotel also features a low-key restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, and a rooftop pool offering great city views. There’s even a free shuttle bus service for added convenience. The surrounding area is filled with eateries — I especially loved Mak Kee (麥記美食) for its Pan-fried Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, both delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a great experience — a pleasant stay with good comfort, convenience, and excellent value for money.Nature Lover6815Family Trip to Liupanshui, Guizhou!

Over 300 levels of terraced fields stretch from the clouds down to the foot of the mountain, truly a fingerprint of the earth.
My social circle is flooded with questions again! It’s definitely not Switzerland, but the Tang’an Terraces deep in the mountains of Guizhou! Recognized by National Geographic as one of "China’s Seven Most Beautiful Hiking Routes," these more than 300 layers of stone terraces extend from the mountain base to the clouds, with morning mist and sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away. 🌾 Terrace Activities · Morning Mist Wonderland (6:00-7:00): Depart from Zhaoxing early in the morning to watch the mist wander through the valley terraces. When sunlight pierces through the clouds, the terraces look like golden fingerprints. · Golden Hour at Sunset (17:00-19:00): Climb the viewing platform to see the sunset dye the layered terraces golden, with smoke curling in the distance, roosters crowing, dogs barking—a breathtaking earthly scene. · Best Seasons: The “Mirror Terraces” during the irrigation period in April-May are stunning, and the “Golden Ocean” during the harvest season in September-October is spectacular. 🚶 Transportation Tips · Shuttle Bus Round Trip: Take the bus from the parking lot next to the Zhaoxing Village gate, 20 RMB per person round trip, 20 minutes each way, running every half hour from 8 AM to 6 PM. · Hiking Route: About 5-7 kilometers, taking 1.5-2.5 hours. Known as “China’s Most Beautiful Hiking Trail,” it’s recommended to take the bus up and hike down to save energy. 📸 Photo Spots · Mid-Mountain Home: The backyard of a family selling rice wine—captures terraces, drum towers, and distant mountains in one frame, almost unknown to most. · Second Floor of Village Entrance Restaurant: Terraces like “First Encounter” and “Field Smoke” restaurants have terraces offering free panoramic terrace views. · Around the Drum Tower: The Qing Dynasty drum tower at the village center, where you can capture daily life of the Dong people with elders warming by the fire and chatting. 💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls · Choose the Right Weather: Overcast days or the fallow period from November to March greatly diminish the scenery. · Wear Non-Slip Shoes: Stone paths are very slippery after rain; bring rain gear to handle the variable mountain weather. · Mind the Return Time: The last shuttle bus leaves at 6 PM. If you miss it, you’ll need to carpool (30 RMB per person) or hike down. The clouds nurture the mountains, and the mountains nurture the fields—this is the world’s only Dong ethnic ecological museum jointly built by China and Norway. It’s not just a tourist spot, but a living agricultural civilization. Let’s go, and have a date with the sea of cloud terraces! 🌄Thompson_~Noah181h from Chengdu!

Sanxiang Village: A Southern Song Dynasty time capsule hidden in Foshan, with flower boats gliding along an 800-year-old ancient waterway Turning off the main road in Baini Town, Sanshui District, Foshan, onto an inconspicuous cement path, you suddenly encounter a stretch of wok ear gable walls—the bluish-gray tiled roofs resemble butterflies spreading their wings, undulating under the sunlight. This is Sanxiang Village. Around 800 years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of ancestors dug canals to divert water here, and three ancient alleys were built along the waterways, giving the village its name. The time code of the ancient alleys Walking on the cobblestone-paved alleys, the stone slabs underfoot are polished shiny, with porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in the cracks. The most fascinating are the three main alleys: "Xingren Li" is paved with bluestone slabs that don’t accumulate water on rainy days; "Yuxiu Li" hides a century-old well with water still crystal clear; and "Zhonghe Li" has walls covered with bougainvillea, whose petals fall into the passing grandmother’s vegetable basket, sparking a burst of laughter and teasing. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall stands right at the alley entrance. On the wooden carved beams from 1511, you can still see patterns of merchant ships "leaving the West Sea and heading to the South Seas." The uncle guarding the hall says that in earlier times, villagers set off from here, taking wooden boats down the Xijiang River to the South Seas to make a living. Now, a miniature wooden boat model is displayed inside the hall, with patches on the sail replicated exactly. The millennium-old water sluice that "knows how to drink water" The village’s most remarkable feature is the ancient water sluice. A hidden channel paved with bluestone slabs runs beneath the alleys, with water from the Xijiang River flowing "babbling" into the village, winding around the base of every house’s wall, and finally merging into the fish pond at the village’s end. "This is the wisdom of our ancestors," the uncle squats by the channel, pointing at the moss in the stone cracks, "it stores water during droughts and drains floods during heavy rains, and hasn’t flooded even once in hundreds of years." Taking a flower boat ride along the ancient waterway at dusk is the most delightful experience. The boatwoman rows the oar, the wooden boat glides over the water, startling a flock of egrets. The wok ear gable walls on both banks reflect in the water, light shines through carved wooden windows, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifts by. Passing the old site of "Yuxing Inn," you can still see the faint words "Boat Ticket Sales" on the wall. It is said that buying a boat ticket here once allowed you to drift all the way to Hong Kong. The ancient village flavors on the tip of your tongue You must try the grandmother’s sweet soup stall at the village entrance. The tangerine peel red bean soup uses tangerine peel from an old tree behind the village, sweet and mellow; the pot cake includes local arrowhead powder, chewy with a slight earthy flavor. Further ahead, the "Sanxiang Eatery" serves purple perilla fried river shrimp—the shrimp freshly caught from the water sluice, the perilla picked from the wall tops, stir-fried with a spicy wok aroma, paired with a bowl of chilled winter melon tea, so refreshing you can’t help but smack your lips. For accommodation, the "Wok Ear House Homestay" at the alley’s end is recommended. The old house has been renovated, preserving wooden lofts and a courtyard. Woken by rooster crowing in the early morning, leaning on the windowsill watching the grandmother pounding clothes by the water sluice, you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time. Practical tips · Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Sanshui Baini Sanxiang Village," free parking is available at the village entrance; or take the bus to "Baini Market Station," then a 10-minute walk. · Admission: Free; the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is closed every Wednesday for maintenance. · Tips: Flower boat rides cost 20 RMB per person, best lighting after 6 PM; remember to wear non-slip shoes as the stone slabs in the alleys are slippery when wet. Looking back when leaving, the sunset dyes the wok ear gable walls golden red, the water in the sluice "ting-dong" sounds like it’s telling stories of those who sailed across the seas. Perhaps the magic of this ancient village lies here—800 years of history not turned into a trendy check-in spot, but instead fermenting the everyday life into a fine wine, waiting for you to savor slowly.FireflyMagic4199826Cheapest Way to Hong Kong Disneyland 🚆

The Monster Building in Hong Kong is an absolutely mind-blowing spot. 🏢🤖 If you're a fan of cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, or just appreciate unconventional architecture, this is the place for you. 🦾 What is the Monster Building? It's a residential complex made up of five interconnected buildings. Inside, there's a massive courtyard surrounded on all sides by an endless maze of balconies, pipes, stairs, and windows. The housing density is so high that the sky becomes just a tiny, bright square high above. It's an anthill, but in the best sense of the word. This location is incredibly cinematic: 🎬 Transformers was filmed here (yep, Michael Bay couldn't resist it either) 🎬 The Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell vibes are literally in the air 📍 Where is it and how to get there The complex is called the Yick Cheong Building (sometimes referred to as the Yick Fat Building). Address: Quarry Bay, King's Road, Quarry Bay MTR station (Exit A). Entry is free. But! This is a residential building. Real people actually live here, so the golden rule is respect: 🤫 Keep the noise down 📸 You can take photos, but don't be obnoxious about it 🙅♂️ Don't wander into the lobbies or try to force your way onto the upper floors 📐 How to shoot to get that iconic shot · Step into the courtyard, stand right in the middle, and point your camera straight up. That symmetrical shot with the balconies stretching into infinity is a classic. · Come at dusk when the lights and windows start glowing. The neon lights, pipes, and wires create pure cyberpunk magic. · Bring a wide-angle lens if you have one. It looks epic on an iPhone too, especially in vertical mode. 💡 Pro tips: ⏰ The best time to visit is on weekdays, either in the morning or closer to sunset. Weekends and lunch hours get super crowded. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the courtyard ground isn't always perfectly even. ☕️ There are tons of local cafes nearby. After your shoot, grab some authentic Hong Kong milk tea and soak in the neighborhood's vibe. 🌆 Bottom line: The Monster Building isn't just "another photo op." It's the absolute quintessence of Hong Kong: cramped, noisy, alive, and incredibly photogenic. If you're in the city for a few days and want to see something beyond the postcard-perfect skyscrapers, you definitely need to swing by Quarry Bay. This isn't a movie set. It's real life that looks straight out of a movie. Have you been here? Drop your shots in the comments below! 👇📸Savelii Zharov209-

🏨 The Olympian Hong Kong - Spacious Rooms in a Quiet Area
Looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hong Kong without giving up convenience? The Olympian was a great surprise. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it’s only a comfortable walk from the MTR station. There are several shopping malls nearby, so finding restaurants or doing a bit of shopping is easy. One thing I really loved was the waterfront promenade right outside the hotel. It’s perfect for a morning run or an evening walk, and you’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment and a children’s playground along the way. The rooms are much more spacious than I expected for Hong Kong, with high ceilings and beautiful views from the windows that make the space feel even bigger. If you prefer staying away from the busiest tourist areas while still having everything within easy reach, I’d definitely recommend The Olympian. #theolympian #hongkong #hotel #hôtelYuliya Lodya15 You can walk out of your room and swim directly to the beach

You can easily spent several hours in Santa Catalina Monastery (Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena), but you could also see it in under one hour. The different courtyards partly represent the stages of prospect nuns on their journey to a life in the monastery. The "cells" of the nuns are poor or rich depending on the affluence of their families, which is especially interesting compared to European monasteries where nuns and monks live in rather austere environs. The bold, complementary colors of the buildings are great for photography and the many nooks and crannies make for a plethora of motives. As if that wasn't enough, the snow covered volcanos loom just outside the walls. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytoursDavid-at-Large1Nordic Fjord Town Travel Diary: Healing Scenery Even on Rainy Days

#hkonbudget#businesstrip#budget#trams#dumplings#foodie#market During my business trip to Hong Kong last month, I stayed at Ramada Hong Kong Grand View. I chose this hotel mainly for its convenient location near my workplace and its affordable price. This casual high-rise hotel overlooking Kowloon Bay is located along Chun Yeung Street, a lively street that retains the charm of old Hong Kong. The area is bustling with local market stalls selling fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood, and the iconic tram passes right through the street — giving the neighbourhood a nostalgic atmosphere. North Point MTR Station is about a 6-minute walk away, while the North Point Ferry Pier (with ferry service to Kowloon) is around 8 minutes on foot. My room was clean and comfortable, equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and tea & coffee-making facilities. The hotel also features a low-key restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, and a rooftop pool offering great city views. There’s even a free shuttle bus service for added convenience. The surrounding area is filled with eateries — I especially loved Mak Kee (麥記美食) for its Pan-fried Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, both delicious and reasonably priced.

Over 300 levels of terraced fields stretch from the clouds down to the foot of the mountain, truly a fingerprint of the earth.
My social circle is flooded with questions again! It’s definitely not Switzerland, but the Tang’an Terraces deep in the mountains of Guizhou! Recognized by National Geographic as one of "China’s Seven Most Beautiful Hiking Routes," these more than 300 layers of stone terraces extend from the mountain base to the clouds, with morning mist and sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away. 🌾 Terrace Activities · Morning Mist Wonderland (6:00-7:00): Depart from Zhaoxing early in the morning to watch the mist wander through the valley terraces. When sunlight pierces through the clouds, the terraces look like golden fingerprints. · Golden Hour at Sunset (17:00-19:00): Climb the viewing platform to see the sunset dye the layered terraces golden, with smoke curling in the distance, roosters crowing, dogs barking—a breathtaking earthly scene. · Best Seasons: The “Mirror Terraces” during the irrigation period in April-May are stunning, and the “Golden Ocean” during the harvest season in September-October is spectacular. 🚶 Transportation Tips · Shuttle Bus Round Trip: Take the bus from the parking lot next to the Zhaoxing Village gate, 20 RMB per person round trip, 20 minutes each way, running every half hour from 8 AM to 6 PM. · Hiking Route: About 5-7 kilometers, taking 1.5-2.5 hours.

Sanxiang Village: A Southern Song Dynasty time capsule hidden in Foshan, with flower boats gliding along an 800-year-old ancient waterway Turning off the main road in Baini Town, Sanshui District, Foshan, onto an inconspicuous cement path, you suddenly encounter a stretch of wok ear gable walls—the bluish-gray tiled roofs resemble butterflies spreading their wings, undulating under the sunlight. This is Sanxiang Village. Around 800 years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of ancestors dug canals to divert water here, and three ancient alleys were built along the waterways, giving the village its name. The time code of the ancient alleys Walking on the cobblestone-paved alleys, the stone slabs underfoot are polished shiny, with porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in the cracks. The most fascinating are the three main alleys: "Xingren Li" is paved with bluestone slabs that don’t accumulate water on rainy days; "Yuxiu Li" hides a century-old well with water still crystal clear; and "Zhonghe Li" has walls covered with bougainvillea, whose petals fall into the passing grandmother’s vegetable basket, sparking a burst of laughter and teasing. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall stands right at the alley entrance. On the wooden carved beams from 1511, you can still see patterns of merchant ships "leaving the West Sea and heading to the South Seas." The uncle guarding the hall says that in earlier times, villagers set off from here, taking wooden boats down the Xijiang River to the South Seas to make a living. Now, a miniature wooden boat model is displayed inside the hall, with patches on the sail replicated exactly. The millennium-old water sluice that "knows how to drink water" The village’s most remarkable feature is the ancient water sluice. A hidden channel paved with bluestone slabs runs beneath the alleys, with water from the Xijiang River flowing "babbling" into the village, winding around the base of every house’s wall, and finally merging into the fish pond at the village’s end. "This is the wisdom of our ancestors," the uncle squats by the channel, pointing at the moss in the stone cracks, "it stores water during droughts and drains floods during heavy rains, and hasn’t flooded even once in hundreds of years." Taking a flower boat ride along the ancient waterway at dusk is the most delightful experience. The boatwoman rows the oar, the wooden boat glides over the water, startling a flock of egrets. The wok ear gable walls on both banks reflect in the water, light shines through carved wooden windows, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifts by. Passing the old site of "Yuxing Inn," you can still see the faint words "Boat Ticket Sales" on the wall. It is said that buying a boat ticket here once allowed you to drift all the way to Hong Kong. The ancient village flavors on the tip of your tongue You must try the grandmother’s sweet soup stall at the village entrance. The tangerine peel red bean soup uses tangerine peel from an old tree behind the village, sweet and mellow; the pot cake includes local arrowhead powder, chewy with a slight earthy flavor. Further ahead, the "Sanxiang Eatery" serves purple perilla fried river shrimp—the shrimp freshly caught from the water sluice, the perilla picked from the wall tops, stir-fried with a spicy wok aroma, paired with a bowl of chilled winter melon tea, so refreshing you can’t help but smack your lips. For accommodation, the "Wok Ear House Homestay" at the alley’s end is recommended. The old house has been renovated, preserving wooden lofts and a courtyard. Woken by rooster crowing in the early morning, leaning on the windowsill watching the grandmother pounding clothes by the water sluice, you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time. Practical tips · Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Sanshui Baini Sanxiang Village," free parking is available at the village entrance; or take the bus to "Baini Market Station," then a 10-minute walk. · Admission: Free; the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is closed every Wednesday for maintenance. · Tips: Flower boat rides cost 20 RMB per person, best lighting after 6 PM; remember to wear non-slip shoes as the stone slabs in the alleys are slippery when wet. Looking back when leaving, the sunset dyes the wok ear gable walls golden red, the water in the sluice "ting-dong" sounds like it’s telling stories of those who sailed across the seas. Perhaps the magic of this ancient village lies here—800 years of history not turned into a trendy check-in spot, but instead fermenting the everyday life into a fine wine, waiting for you to savor slowly.FireflyMagic4199826Cheapest Way to Hong Kong Disneyland 🚆

Ladies, don’t take the kids to the beach to bake under the sun this summer! I’ve discovered a hidden gem on Shenzhen’s Dapeng Peninsula—E’gong Bay. No need to fly far; here, kids can play in the cool "glass sea," ride the seaside mini train, while moms relax in a wooden café sipping iced lattes with the AC on. Everyone on social media will think we’re vacationing abroad! 【How to have fun with kids without breaking a sweat】 Head out after 4 PM: Straight to BAMBOO HOUSE Seaview Café, where the AC is strong and the terrace catches the sea breeze. Order an iced latte 🥥, let the kids collect shells and watch the waves nearby, while you enjoy the breeze and daydream waiting for sunset. The most healing moment of summer is right here. Take the kids to Akana Glass Sea: The water is clear and the sand fine, plus colorful kayaks! Kids splash around in quick-dry clothes while you relax under a thatched umbrella on the shore, just like at a tropical resort. Don’t miss Angel Bay for a stroll: The seaside mini train 🚄 is tailor-made for little ones! Once they get on, they won’t want to get off. It’s cool all the way and perfect for photos—you can snap some beautiful shots too. Stay overnight in a nearby villa: The sea view villa has a private pool where kids won’t want to leave the water. When they’re tired, just head back to the room for AC comfort. The whole family stays cozy and happy. 【Mom’s Tips】 Summer outdoors can be scorching, so dress kids in quick-dry clothes and non-slip hole shoes; choose strong sunscreen and try to schedule indoor activities before 4 PM. E’gong Bay is Shenzhen’s ultimate “summer chill spot with kids”—air conditioning, sea breeze, iced drinks, just go for it! Go! 💦mayacanyon24Hong Kong Spiritual Trip: Visiting 9 Temples

The Monster Building in Hong Kong is an absolutely mind-blowing spot. 🏢🤖 If you're a fan of cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, or just appreciate unconventional architecture, this is the place for you. 🦾 What is the Monster Building? It's a residential complex made up of five interconnected buildings. Inside, there's a massive courtyard surrounded on all sides by an endless maze of balconies, pipes, stairs, and windows. The housing density is so high that the sky becomes just a tiny, bright square high above. It's an anthill, but in the best sense of the word. This location is incredibly cinematic: 🎬 Transformers was filmed here (yep, Michael Bay couldn't resist it either) 🎬 The Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell vibes are literally in the air 📍 Where is it and how to get there The complex is called the Yick Cheong Building (sometimes referred to as the Yick Fat Building). Address: Quarry Bay, King's Road, Quarry Bay MTR station (Exit A). Entry is free. But! This is a residential building. Real people actually live here, so the golden rule is respect: 🤫 Keep the noise down 📸 You can take photos, but don't be obnoxious about it 🙅♂️ Don't wander into the lobbies or try to force your way onto the upper floors 📐 How to shoot to get that iconic shot · Step into the courtyard, stand right in the middle, and point your camera straight up. That symmetrical shot with the balconies stretching into infinity is a classic. · Come at dusk when the lights and windows start glowing. The neon lights, pipes, and wires create pure cyberpunk magic. · Bring a wide-angle lens if you have one. It looks epic on an iPhone too, especially in vertical mode. 💡 Pro tips: ⏰ The best time to visit is on weekdays, either in the morning or closer to sunset. Weekends and lunch hours get super crowded. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the courtyard ground isn't always perfectly even. ☕️ There are tons of local cafes nearby. After your shoot, grab some authentic Hong Kong milk tea and soak in the neighborhood's vibe. 🌆 Bottom line: The Monster Building isn't just "another photo op." It's the absolute quintessence of Hong Kong: cramped, noisy, alive, and incredibly photogenic. If you're in the city for a few days and want to see something beyond the postcard-perfect skyscrapers, you definitely need to swing by Quarry Bay. This isn't a movie set. It's real life that looks straight out of a movie. Have you been here? Drop your shots in the comments below! 👇📸Savelii Zharov209-

🏨 The Olympian Hong Kong - Spacious Rooms in a Quiet Area
Looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hong Kong without giving up convenience? The Olympian was a great surprise. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it’s only a comfortable walk from the MTR station. There are several shopping malls nearby, so finding restaurants or doing a bit of shopping is easy. One thing I really loved was the waterfront promenade right outside the hotel. It’s perfect for a morning run or an evening walk, and you’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment and a children’s playground along the way. The rooms are much more spacious than I expected for Hong Kong, with high ceilings and beautiful views from the windows that make the space feel even bigger. If you prefer staying away from the busiest tourist areas while still having everything within easy reach, I’d definitely recommend The Olympian. #theolympian #hongkong #hotel #hôtelYuliya Lodya15 You can walk out of your room and swim directly to the beach

You can easily spent several hours in Santa Catalina Monastery (Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena), but you could also see it in under one hour. The different courtyards partly represent the stages of prospect nuns on their journey to a life in the monastery. The "cells" of the nuns are poor or rich depending on the affluence of their families, which is especially interesting compared to European monasteries where nuns and monks live in rather austere environs. The bold, complementary colors of the buildings are great for photography and the many nooks and crannies make for a plethora of motives. As if that wasn't enough, the snow covered volcanos loom just outside the walls. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytoursDavid-at-Large1Nordic Fjord Town Travel Diary: Healing Scenery Even on Rainy Days

#hkonbudget#businesstrip#budget#trams#dumplings#foodie#market During my business trip to Hong Kong last month, I stayed at Ramada Hong Kong Grand View. I chose this hotel mainly for its convenient location near my workplace and its affordable price. This casual high-rise hotel overlooking Kowloon Bay is located along Chun Yeung Street, a lively street that retains the charm of old Hong Kong. The area is bustling with local market stalls selling fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood, and the iconic tram passes right through the street — giving the neighbourhood a nostalgic atmosphere. North Point MTR Station is about a 6-minute walk away, while the North Point Ferry Pier (with ferry service to Kowloon) is around 8 minutes on foot. My room was clean and comfortable, equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and tea & coffee-making facilities. The hotel also features a low-key restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, and a rooftop pool offering great city views. There’s even a free shuttle bus service for added convenience. The surrounding area is filled with eateries — I especially loved Mak Kee (麥記美食) for its Pan-fried Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, both delicious and reasonably priced.

Over 300 levels of terraced fields stretch from the clouds down to the foot of the mountain, truly a fingerprint of the earth.
My social circle is flooded with questions again! It’s definitely not Switzerland, but the Tang’an Terraces deep in the mountains of Guizhou! Recognized by National Geographic as one of "China’s Seven Most Beautiful Hiking Routes," these more than 300 layers of stone terraces extend from the mountain base to the clouds, with morning mist and sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away. 🌾 Terrace Activities · Morning Mist Wonderland (6:00-7:00): Depart from Zhaoxing early in the morning to watch the mist wander through the valley terraces. When sunlight pierces through the clouds, the terraces look like golden fingerprints. · Golden Hour at Sunset (17:00-19:00): Climb the viewing platform to see the sunset dye the layered terraces golden, with smoke curling in the distance, roosters crowing, dogs barking—a breathtaking earthly scene. · Best Seasons: The “Mirror Terraces” during the irrigation period in April-May are stunning, and the “Golden Ocean” during the harvest season in September-October is spectacular. 🚶 Transportation Tips · Shuttle Bus Round Trip: Take the bus from the parking lot next to the Zhaoxing Village gate, 20 RMB per person round trip, 20 minutes each way, running every half hour from 8 AM to 6 PM. · Hiking Route: About 5-7 kilometers, taking 1.5-2.5 hours.

Sanxiang Village: A Southern Song Dynasty time capsule hidden in Foshan, with flower boats gliding along an 800-year-old ancient waterway Turning off the main road in Baini Town, Sanshui District, Foshan, onto an inconspicuous cement path, you suddenly encounter a stretch of wok ear gable walls—the bluish-gray tiled roofs resemble butterflies spreading their wings, undulating under the sunlight. This is Sanxiang Village. Around 800 years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of ancestors dug canals to divert water here, and three ancient alleys were built along the waterways, giving the village its name. The time code of the ancient alleys Walking on the cobblestone-paved alleys, the stone slabs underfoot are polished shiny, with porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in the cracks. The most fascinating are the three main alleys: "Xingren Li" is paved with bluestone slabs that don’t accumulate water on rainy days; "Yuxiu Li" hides a century-old well with water still crystal clear; and "Zhonghe Li" has walls covered with bougainvillea, whose petals fall into the passing grandmother’s vegetable basket, sparking a burst of laughter and teasing. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall stands right at the alley entrance. On the wooden carved beams from 1511, you can still see patterns of merchant ships "leaving the West Sea and heading to the South Seas." The uncle guarding the hall says that in earlier times, villagers set off from here, taking wooden boats down the Xijiang River to the South Seas to make a living. Now, a miniature wooden boat model is displayed inside the hall, with patches on the sail replicated exactly. The millennium-old water sluice that "knows how to drink water" The village’s most remarkable feature is the ancient water sluice. A hidden channel paved with bluestone slabs runs beneath the alleys, with water from the Xijiang River flowing "babbling" into the village, winding around the base of every house’s wall, and finally merging into the fish pond at the village’s end. "This is the wisdom of our ancestors," the uncle squats by the channel, pointing at the moss in the stone cracks, "it stores water during droughts and drains floods during heavy rains, and hasn’t flooded even once in hundreds of years." Taking a flower boat ride along the ancient waterway at dusk is the most delightful experience. The boatwoman rows the oar, the wooden boat glides over the water, startling a flock of egrets. The wok ear gable walls on both banks reflect in the water, light shines through carved wooden windows, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifts by. Passing the old site of "Yuxing Inn," you can still see the faint words "Boat Ticket Sales" on the wall. It is said that buying a boat ticket here once allowed you to drift all the way to Hong Kong. The ancient village flavors on the tip of your tongue You must try the grandmother’s sweet soup stall at the village entrance. The tangerine peel red bean soup uses tangerine peel from an old tree behind the village, sweet and mellow; the pot cake includes local arrowhead powder, chewy with a slight earthy flavor. Further ahead, the "Sanxiang Eatery" serves purple perilla fried river shrimp—the shrimp freshly caught from the water sluice, the perilla picked from the wall tops, stir-fried with a spicy wok aroma, paired with a bowl of chilled winter melon tea, so refreshing you can’t help but smack your lips. For accommodation, the "Wok Ear House Homestay" at the alley’s end is recommended. The old house has been renovated, preserving wooden lofts and a courtyard. Woken by rooster crowing in the early morning, leaning on the windowsill watching the grandmother pounding clothes by the water sluice, you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time. Practical tips · Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Sanshui Baini Sanxiang Village," free parking is available at the village entrance; or take the bus to "Baini Market Station," then a 10-minute walk. · Admission: Free; the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is closed every Wednesday for maintenance. · Tips: Flower boat rides cost 20 RMB per person, best lighting after 6 PM; remember to wear non-slip shoes as the stone slabs in the alleys are slippery when wet. Looking back when leaving, the sunset dyes the wok ear gable walls golden red, the water in the sluice "ting-dong" sounds like it’s telling stories of those who sailed across the seas. Perhaps the magic of this ancient village lies here—800 years of history not turned into a trendy check-in spot, but instead fermenting the everyday life into a fine wine, waiting for you to savor slowly.FireflyMagic4199826Cheapest Way to Hong Kong Disneyland 🚆

Ladies, don’t take the kids to the beach to bake under the sun this summer! I’ve discovered a hidden gem on Shenzhen’s Dapeng Peninsula—E’gong Bay. No need to fly far; here, kids can play in the cool "glass sea," ride the seaside mini train, while moms relax in a wooden café sipping iced lattes with the AC on. Everyone on social media will think we’re vacationing abroad! 【How to have fun with kids without breaking a sweat】 Head out after 4 PM: Straight to BAMBOO HOUSE Seaview Café, where the AC is strong and the terrace catches the sea breeze. Order an iced latte 🥥, let the kids collect shells and watch the waves nearby, while you enjoy the breeze and daydream waiting for sunset. The most healing moment of summer is right here. Take the kids to Akana Glass Sea: The water is clear and the sand fine, plus colorful kayaks! Kids splash around in quick-dry clothes while you relax under a thatched umbrella on the shore, just like at a tropical resort. Don’t miss Angel Bay for a stroll: The seaside mini train 🚄 is tailor-made for little ones! Once they get on, they won’t want to get off. It’s cool all the way and perfect for photos—you can snap some beautiful shots too. Stay overnight in a nearby villa: The sea view villa has a private pool where kids won’t want to leave the water. When they’re tired, just head back to the room for AC comfort. The whole family stays cozy and happy. 【Mom’s Tips】 Summer outdoors can be scorching, so dress kids in quick-dry clothes and non-slip hole shoes; choose strong sunscreen and try to schedule indoor activities before 4 PM. E’gong Bay is Shenzhen’s ultimate “summer chill spot with kids”—air conditioning, sea breeze, iced drinks, just go for it! Go! 💦mayacanyon24Hong Kong Spiritual Trip: Visiting 9 Temples

#hkonbudget A must-do in Hong Kong is visiting the Experiential Centre at Kowloon Walled City Park, where history comes vividly to life. This unique attraction lets you step back in time to see how people once lived in the densely packed Walled City. Through immersive exhibits, reconstructed settings, and detailed displays, you can experience daily life within its walls. It’s both fascinating and eye-opening, offering a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s past. Entrance fee: FREEJourneyjassy88YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.
The Monster Building in Hong Kong is an absolutely mind-blowing spot. 🏢🤖 If you're a fan of cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, or just appreciate unconventional architecture, this is the place for you. 🦾 What is the Monster Building? It's a residential complex made up of five interconnected buildings. Inside, there's a massive courtyard surrounded on all sides by an endless maze of balconies, pipes, stairs, and windows. The housing density is so high that the sky becomes just a tiny, bright square high above. It's an anthill, but in the best sense of the word. This location is incredibly cinematic: 🎬 Transformers was filmed here (yep, Michael Bay couldn't resist it either) 🎬 The Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell vibes are literally in the air 📍 Where is it and how to get there The complex is called the Yick Cheong Building (sometimes referred to as the Yick Fat Building). Address: Quarry Bay, King's Road, Quarry Bay MTR station (Exit A). Entry is free. But! This is a residential building. Real people actually live here, so the golden rule is respect: 🤫 Keep the noise down 📸 You can take photos, but don't be obnoxious about it 🙅♂️ Don't wander into the lobbies or try to force your way onto the upper floors 📐 How to shoot to get that iconic shot · Step into the courtyard, stand right in the middle, and point your camera straight up. That symmetrical shot with the balconies stretching into infinity is a classic. · Come at dusk when the lights and windows start glowing. The neon lights, pipes, and wires create pure cyberpunk magic. · Bring a wide-angle lens if you have one. It looks epic on an iPhone too, especially in vertical mode. 💡 Pro tips: ⏰ The best time to visit is on weekdays, either in the morning or closer to sunset. Weekends and lunch hours get super crowded. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the courtyard ground isn't always perfectly even. ☕️ There are tons of local cafes nearby. After your shoot, grab some authentic Hong Kong milk tea and soak in the neighborhood's vibe. 🌆 Bottom line: The Monster Building isn't just "another photo op." It's the absolute quintessence of Hong Kong: cramped, noisy, alive, and incredibly photogenic. If you're in the city for a few days and want to see something beyond the postcard-perfect skyscrapers, you definitely need to swing by Quarry Bay. This isn't a movie set. It's real life that looks straight out of a movie. Have you been here? Drop your shots in the comments below! 👇📸Savelii Zharov209-

🏨 The Olympian Hong Kong - Spacious Rooms in a Quiet Area
Looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hong Kong without giving up convenience? The Olympian was a great surprise. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it’s only a comfortable walk from the MTR station. There are several shopping malls nearby, so finding restaurants or doing a bit of shopping is easy. One thing I really loved was the waterfront promenade right outside the hotel. It’s perfect for a morning run or an evening walk, and you’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment and a children’s playground along the way. The rooms are much more spacious than I expected for Hong Kong, with high ceilings and beautiful views from the windows that make the space feel even bigger. If you prefer staying away from the busiest tourist areas while still having everything within easy reach, I’d definitely recommend The Olympian. #theolympian #hongkong #hotel #hôtelYuliya Lodya15 You can walk out of your room and swim directly to the beach

You can easily spent several hours in Santa Catalina Monastery (Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena), but you could also see it in under one hour. The different courtyards partly represent the stages of prospect nuns on their journey to a life in the monastery. The "cells" of the nuns are poor or rich depending on the affluence of their families, which is especially interesting compared to European monasteries where nuns and monks live in rather austere environs. The bold, complementary colors of the buildings are great for photography and the many nooks and crannies make for a plethora of motives. As if that wasn't enough, the snow covered volcanos loom just outside the walls. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytoursDavid-at-Large1Nordic Fjord Town Travel Diary: Healing Scenery Even on Rainy Days

#hkonbudget#businesstrip#budget#trams#dumplings#foodie#market During my business trip to Hong Kong last month, I stayed at Ramada Hong Kong Grand View.

North Point MTR Station is about a 6-minute walk away, while the North Point Ferry Pier (with ferry service to Kowloon) is around 8 minutes on foot. My room was clean and comfortable, equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and tea & coffee-making facilities. The hotel also features a low-key restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, and a rooftop pool offering great city views. There’s even a free shuttle bus service for added convenience.

Over 300 levels of terraced fields stretch from the clouds down to the foot of the mountain, truly a fingerprint of the earth.

Recognized by National Geographic as one of "China’s Seven Most Beautiful Hiking Routes," these more than 300 layers of stone terraces extend from the mountain base to the clouds, with morning mist and sunsets so beautiful they take your breath away. 🌾 Terrace Activities · Morning Mist Wonderland (6:00-7:00): Depart from Zhaoxing early in the morning to watch the mist wander through the valley terraces.

Sanxiang Village: A Southern Song Dynasty time capsule hidden in Foshan, with flower boats gliding along an 800-year-old ancient waterway Turning off the main road in Baini Town, Sanshui District, Foshan, onto an inconspicuous cement path, you suddenly encounter a stretch of wok ear gable walls—the bluish-gray tiled roofs resemble butterflies spreading their wings, undulating under the sunlight. This is Sanxiang Village. Around 800 years ago, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of ancestors dug canals to divert water here, and three ancient alleys were built along the waterways, giving the village its name. The time code of the ancient alleys Walking on the cobblestone-paved alleys, the stone slabs underfoot are polished shiny, with porcelain shards from the Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in the cracks. The most fascinating are the three main alleys: "Xingren Li" is paved with bluestone slabs that don’t accumulate water on rainy days; "Yuxiu Li" hides a century-old well with water still crystal clear; and "Zhonghe Li" has walls covered with bougainvillea, whose petals fall into the passing grandmother’s vegetable basket, sparking a burst of laughter and teasing. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall stands right at the alley entrance. On the wooden carved beams from 1511, you can still see patterns of merchant ships "leaving the West Sea and heading to the South Seas." The uncle guarding the hall says that in earlier times, villagers set off from here, taking wooden boats down the Xijiang River to the South Seas to make a living. Now, a miniature wooden boat model is displayed inside the hall, with patches on the sail replicated exactly. The millennium-old water sluice that "knows how to drink water" The village’s most remarkable feature is the ancient water sluice. A hidden channel paved with bluestone slabs runs beneath the alleys, with water from the Xijiang River flowing "babbling" into the village, winding around the base of every house’s wall, and finally merging into the fish pond at the village’s end. "This is the wisdom of our ancestors," the uncle squats by the channel, pointing at the moss in the stone cracks, "it stores water during droughts and drains floods during heavy rains, and hasn’t flooded even once in hundreds of years." Taking a flower boat ride along the ancient waterway at dusk is the most delightful experience. The boatwoman rows the oar, the wooden boat glides over the water, startling a flock of egrets. The wok ear gable walls on both banks reflect in the water, light shines through carved wooden windows, and the aroma of home-cooked meals drifts by. Passing the old site of "Yuxing Inn," you can still see the faint words "Boat Ticket Sales" on the wall. It is said that buying a boat ticket here once allowed you to drift all the way to Hong Kong. The ancient village flavors on the tip of your tongue You must try the grandmother’s sweet soup stall at the village entrance. The tangerine peel red bean soup uses tangerine peel from an old tree behind the village, sweet and mellow; the pot cake includes local arrowhead powder, chewy with a slight earthy flavor. Further ahead, the "Sanxiang Eatery" serves purple perilla fried river shrimp—the shrimp freshly caught from the water sluice, the perilla picked from the wall tops, stir-fried with a spicy wok aroma, paired with a bowl of chilled winter melon tea, so refreshing you can’t help but smack your lips. For accommodation, the "Wok Ear House Homestay" at the alley’s end is recommended. The old house has been renovated, preserving wooden lofts and a courtyard. Woken by rooster crowing in the early morning, leaning on the windowsill watching the grandmother pounding clothes by the water sluice, you feel as if you’ve slipped back in time. Practical tips · Transportation: Drive and navigate to "Sanshui Baini Sanxiang Village," free parking is available at the village entrance; or take the bus to "Baini Market Station," then a 10-minute walk. · Admission: Free; the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is closed every Wednesday for maintenance. · Tips: Flower boat rides cost 20 RMB per person, best lighting after 6 PM; remember to wear non-slip shoes as the stone slabs in the alleys are slippery when wet. Looking back when leaving, the sunset dyes the wok ear gable walls golden red, the water in the sluice "ting-dong" sounds like it’s telling stories of those who sailed across the seas. Perhaps the magic of this ancient village lies here—800 years of history not turned into a trendy check-in spot, but instead fermenting the everyday life into a fine wine, waiting for you to savor slowly.FireflyMagic4199826Cheapest Way to Hong Kong Disneyland 🚆

Ladies, don’t take the kids to the beach to bake under the sun this summer! I’ve discovered a hidden gem on Shenzhen’s Dapeng Peninsula—E’gong Bay. No need to fly far; here, kids can play in the cool "glass sea," ride the seaside mini train, while moms relax in a wooden café sipping iced lattes with the AC on. Everyone on social media will think we’re vacationing abroad! 【How to have fun with kids without breaking a sweat】 Head out after 4 PM: Straight to BAMBOO HOUSE Seaview Café, where the AC is strong and the terrace catches the sea breeze. Order an iced latte 🥥, let the kids collect shells and watch the waves nearby, while you enjoy the breeze and daydream waiting for sunset. The most healing moment of summer is right here. Take the kids to Akana Glass Sea: The water is clear and the sand fine, plus colorful kayaks! Kids splash around in quick-dry clothes while you relax under a thatched umbrella on the shore, just like at a tropical resort. Don’t miss Angel Bay for a stroll: The seaside mini train 🚄 is tailor-made for little ones! Once they get on, they won’t want to get off. It’s cool all the way and perfect for photos—you can snap some beautiful shots too. Stay overnight in a nearby villa: The sea view villa has a private pool where kids won’t want to leave the water. When they’re tired, just head back to the room for AC comfort. The whole family stays cozy and happy. 【Mom’s Tips】 Summer outdoors can be scorching, so dress kids in quick-dry clothes and non-slip hole shoes; choose strong sunscreen and try to schedule indoor activities before 4 PM. E’gong Bay is Shenzhen’s ultimate “summer chill spot with kids”—air conditioning, sea breeze, iced drinks, just go for it! Go! 💦mayacanyon24Hong Kong Spiritual Trip: Visiting 9 Temples

#hkonbudget A must-do in Hong Kong is visiting the Experiential Centre at Kowloon Walled City Park, where history comes vividly to life. This unique attraction lets you step back in time to see how people once lived in the densely packed Walled City. Through immersive exhibits, reconstructed settings, and detailed displays, you can experience daily life within its walls. It’s both fascinating and eye-opening, offering a deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s past. Entrance fee: FREEJourneyjassy88YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.
The Monster Building in Hong Kong is an absolutely mind-blowing spot. 🏢🤖 If you're a fan of cyberpunk, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, or just appreciate unconventional architecture, this is the place for you. 🦾 What is the Monster Building? It's a residential complex made up of five interconnected buildings. Inside, there's a massive courtyard surrounded on all sides by an endless maze of balconies, pipes, stairs, and windows. The housing density is so high that the sky becomes just a tiny, bright square high above. It's an anthill, but in the best sense of the word. This location is incredibly cinematic: 🎬 Transformers was filmed here (yep, Michael Bay couldn't resist it either) 🎬 The Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell vibes are literally in the air 📍 Where is it and how to get there The complex is called the Yick Cheong Building (sometimes referred to as the Yick Fat Building). Address: Quarry Bay, King's Road, Quarry Bay MTR station (Exit A). Entry is free. But! This is a residential building. Real people actually live here, so the golden rule is respect: 🤫 Keep the noise down 📸 You can take photos, but don't be obnoxious about it 🙅♂️ Don't wander into the lobbies or try to force your way onto the upper floors 📐 How to shoot to get that iconic shot · Step into the courtyard, stand right in the middle, and point your camera straight up. That symmetrical shot with the balconies stretching into infinity is a classic. · Come at dusk when the lights and windows start glowing. The neon lights, pipes, and wires create pure cyberpunk magic. · Bring a wide-angle lens if you have one. It looks epic on an iPhone too, especially in vertical mode. 💡 Pro tips: ⏰ The best time to visit is on weekdays, either in the morning or closer to sunset. Weekends and lunch hours get super crowded. 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the courtyard ground isn't always perfectly even. ☕️ There are tons of local cafes nearby. After your shoot, grab some authentic Hong Kong milk tea and soak in the neighborhood's vibe. 🌆 Bottom line: The Monster Building isn't just "another photo op." It's the absolute quintessence of Hong Kong: cramped, noisy, alive, and incredibly photogenic. If you're in the city for a few days and want to see something beyond the postcard-perfect skyscrapers, you definitely need to swing by Quarry Bay. This isn't a movie set. It's real life that looks straight out of a movie. Have you been here? Drop your shots in the comments below! 👇📸Savelii Zharov209-

🏨 The Olympian Hong Kong - Spacious Rooms in a Quiet Area
Looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hong Kong without giving up convenience? The Olympian was a great surprise. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet it’s only a comfortable walk from the MTR station. There are several shopping malls nearby, so finding restaurants or doing a bit of shopping is easy. One thing I really loved was the waterfront promenade right outside the hotel. It’s perfect for a morning run or an evening walk, and you’ll also find outdoor fitness equipment and a children’s playground along the way. The rooms are much more spacious than I expected for Hong Kong, with high ceilings and beautiful views from the windows that make the space feel even bigger. If you prefer staying away from the busiest tourist areas while still having everything within easy reach, I’d definitely recommend The Olympian. #theolympian #hongkong #hotel #hôtelYuliya Lodya15 You can walk out of your room and swim directly to the beach

You can easily spent several hours in Santa Catalina Monastery (Monasterio de Santa Catalina de Siena), but you could also see it in under one hour. The different courtyards partly represent the stages of prospect nuns on their journey to a life in the monastery. The "cells" of the nuns are poor or rich depending on the affluence of their families, which is especially interesting compared to European monasteries where nuns and monks live in rather austere environs. The bold, complementary colors of the buildings are great for photography and the many nooks and crannies make for a plethora of motives. As if that wasn't enough, the snow covered volcanos loom just outside the walls. #travel#thingstodo#museums#myitinerary#citydaytoursDavid-at-Large1Nordic Fjord Town Travel Diary: Healing Scenery Even on Rainy Days
One summer eight years ago, I stayed alone in a small town by the Nordic fjords.

#hkonbudget#businesstrip#budget#trams#dumplings#foodie#market During my business trip to Hong Kong last month, I stayed at Ramada Hong Kong Grand View. I chose this hotel mainly for its convenient location near my workplace and its affordable price. This casual high-rise hotel overlooking Kowloon Bay is located along Chun Yeung Street, a lively street that retains the charm of old Hong Kong. The area is bustling with local market stalls selling fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood, and the iconic tram passes right through the street — giving the neighbourhood a nostalgic atmosphere. North Point MTR Station is about a 6-minute walk away, while the North Point Ferry Pier (with ferry service to Kowloon) is around 8 minutes on foot. My room was clean and comfortable, equipped with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and tea & coffee-making facilities. The hotel also features a low-key restaurant, a bar, a fitness room, and a rooftop pool offering great city views. There’s even a free shuttle bus service for added convenience. The surrounding area is filled with eateries — I especially loved Mak Kee (麥記美食) for its Pan-fried Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao, both delicious and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a great experience — a pleasant stay with good comfort, convenience, and excellent value for money.Nature Lover6815Family Trip to Liupanshui, Guizhou!
