Hulun Lake | I can't believe there's a sea hidden at the end of the grasslands
Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video. There are no crowded tourists, and you can get a full, panoramic view of this lake that looks just like the ocean. How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in. There is usually a contact number at the pasture entrance.

Qiandao Lake is legendary in autumn: A complete guide to Huangshan Jian + Meifeng Island + Moonlight Island #StrollQiandao
As the autumn breeze sweeps across the mountains of western Zhejiang, thousands of islands are scattered across the vast expanse of emerald water. In autumn, Qiandao Lake transforms the entire landscape into a grand land art exhibition. To truly appreciate the autumn colors of Qiandao Lake, you must venture out onto the water. Take a cruise across the clear, emerald waves, where islands stretch out like a painting. The two core highlights of Qiandao Lake, Huangshan Jian and Meifeng Island, hold the most breathtaking panoramic views of this autumn landscape. Take the cable car for a slow ascent to the Huangshan Jian observation deck. Looking out into the distance, over 90 natural islands are scattered in a way that naturally outlines a spectacular wonder, a unique romantic landscape exclusive to Qiandao Lake. The autumn artistic vibe in the mountains is in full swing. Check in at the exclusive art wall, collect limited-edition autumn stamps, and receive exquisite landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and Qiandao Lake planter cups, turning the autumn scenery of Qiandao Lake into a unique memory you can take home. Leaving Huangshan Jian, head to Meifeng Island, a classic scenic spot at Qiandao Lake. Ride the Meifeng cable car through the autumn foliage and check in at the atmospheric Lao Ji Tea House, where the gentle and healing autumn-themed decorations will remain throughout the National Day holiday. The giant teacup installation is full of atmosphere; write an autumn letter here, collect landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and exclusive planter cups, and check in at the themed art wall. Each stamp captures a gentle moment of autumn in Qiandao. Reach the top of the observation deck to take in the panoramic view of the scattered islands and the lake merging with the sky. Next, let's move on to the tranquil Moonlight Island. Stroll along the water with the breeze on your face and unlock another, gentler and quieter side of Qiandao Lake. Climb high to take in the mountains and rivers, and slow down to savor the autumn mood. Collect light and shadows, preserve the gentleness between the lake and mountains, and embark on a romantic rendezvous with Qiandao Lake that lives up to the autumn and the landscape.

After the tour, return to the B&B and enjoy some local Northeastern cuisine nearby in the evening.🍞 Route 2 | Leisurely Stroll Route🚶🏻♀️ ☀️During the day, take a walk around Erdaobaihe town, browse the local market, and soak up the town's vibrant atmosphere.

🚌【Transportation Guide】 If you're coming to Datong in September, honestly, taking the high-speed train to Datong South Station is the easiest way. The tourist shuttle bus parking lot is 50 meters west of the exit. Direct buses to Yungang Grottoes run every 20 minutes, cost only CNY 10 one way, and get you there in 40 minutes. The return trip also stops at the Ancient City and Datong Museum—a dream for lazy travelers 🎉. Coming from Datong Station isn't too bad either; you can take bus line 4 and transfer to line 3 to get to Yungang, though it takes longer. If you're in a rush, I wouldn't recommend this hassle. If you want to visit the Hanging Temple, take my advice: the straight-line distance from Yungang to the Hanging Temple isn't far, but taking public transport will take nearly 4 hours, which is really painful 😅. Just buy tickets on the "Datong Tourist Shuttle" mini-program. It's CNY 39/person from Yungang to the Hanging Temple. Grab a window seat on the right side to get a panoramic view of the Hanging Temple—book fast before they're gone. 🎫【Ticket Reservation】 Yungang Grottoes admission is CNY 120 (peak season price), CNY 60 for students, and free for those 60 and older. You must make a real-name reservation in advance via Trip.com or the "Yungang Grottoes Culture and Tourism" mini-program; tickets are usually not sold on the day of. Open from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. I recommend getting there before 8:00 AM, or once the tour groups arrive, your experience seeing the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 will be ruined 💔. Hanging Temple climbing tickets are CNY 100 + CNY 15 for park admission. Climbing tickets are limited, so be sure to book in advance, or you'll only be able to view it from afar, which is truly frustrating. Huayan Temple is CNY 50, Shanhuasi Temple is free but requires a reservation, and the Ancient City Wall and Datong Museum also require free reservations for entry. 🍜【Local Food Recommendations】 You won't know what "carb heaven" is until you get to Datong. These are the spots I've personally tested and can recommend 👇 🥢 Xijindao Sliced Noodles: Meat sauce with braised tofu combo—one bite and your soul is restored 🥟 Longjuxiang Shaomai: Paper-thin wrappers, lamb filling that bursts with juice 🍯 Zini 369 Coarse Grains: Chilled yellow rice cake with osmanthus honey—sweet but not cloying 🌶️ Xiaoxifu Jelly Noodles: Served with fried chili—absolutely amazing 🍖 Panglailai Rabbit Head: Pair with Datong beer—spicy and addictive 🍲 Kaige Restaurant: Copper hot pot + oil-fried meat + sea buckthorn juice—understand Datong cuisine in one meal 📸【Photo Spots】 In front of the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes, get close and use a wide-angle lens to capture both the Buddha's face and the mountain—it's incredibly stunning 📷 Shoot at the Lingyan Temple reflection pool around 3:00 PM; the reflection in the water is breathtaking The light in front of the Mahavira Hall at Huayan Temple is softest after 4:00 PM. Wear Hanfu for photos and you'll feel like you've traveled back to the Liao and Jin dynasties Get on the wall at the South Gate of the Datong Ancient City Wall at 6:30 PM. Stand by the parapet with your back to the city at sunset for beautiful silhouettes For the night view of the Ancient City Wall, after the lights come on at 7:30 PM, use a long exposure to capture the reflection of the city gate and the moat—every shot is a masterpiece 🌃 🗺️【Detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: Huayan Temple → Shanhuasi Temple → Cycling on the Ancient City Wall to watch the sunset → Late-night snacks on the Ancient Street. Enter Huayan Temple at 4:00 PM for the best light, then visit Shanhuasi Temple. Get on the wall at 6:30 PM to rent a bike, and get goosebumps the moment the lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Day 2️⃣: In-depth one-day tour of Yungang Grottoes. Rush in at 8:00 AM: Tanyao Square → Lingyan Temple → Cave 20 → walk back to Caves 5/6. Hire an official guide for CNY 168 (includes return battery car), otherwise you'll just be staring at rocks and won't know what you're looking at 😂. Head to the Lingyan Temple reflection pool at 3:00 PM for more photos. Day 3️⃣: Hanging Temple → Mount Heng (Northern Hengshan) → Departure. The shuttle bus leaves in the morning. Go to the Hanging Temple early to avoid crowds; climbing it is worth the trip. Take the cable car up Mount Heng to save energy, then take the shuttle bus back to the Ancient City after coming down. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 In September, Datong is over 20°C during the day, but only around 9°C in the morning and evening. You must bring a light jacket, or you'll know what suffering is once you stand on the city wall 🥶 Food inside the scenic areas is expensive and mediocre. Pack some water and snacks in your bag, don't be like me and regret it Shared e-bikes in the Ancient City are CNY 5 for 30 minutes—10,000 times more comfortable than walking Climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple are limited. If you don't book in advance, you can only view it from afar—I don't want you to experience that frustration Flash photography and drones are strictly prohibited inside Yungang. Don't break the rules on purpose I don't recommend wearing high heels to visit Yungang; the stone steps and uneven roads will make you question your life choices 👠❌ September is the most beautiful season in Datong—crisp autumn air and fewer crowds. Go before the National Day holiday. Booking hotels and tickets together on Trip.com is more cost-effective 💕MARIANNA WILLIAMSON7Shenzhen's most beautiful bookstores
People often call Shenzhen the "city of hustlers," but if you only come here for the office buildings and tech parks, you're really missing out. The most charming side of this immigrant city is hidden in bookstores that turn architectural design into an art form—some look like they're straight out of "Inception," others hide "space elevators," and some let you read and daydream between the mountains and the sea. Today, we'll dive into these incredible bookstores for a double baptism of the visual and the soul. · -- Zhongshuge (Harbour Bay Store): The magical world of red spiral bookshelves The "top influencer" of Shenzhen's bookstore scene, it's truly the ceiling of aesthetics. The moment you push open the door, you'll likely gasp—the 11-meter-high red spiral bookshelves wind upward like a DNA double helix. Reflected by the mirrored ceiling, the entire space extends infinitely, as if you've fallen into a universe of books. Covering 1,100 square meters with about 45,000 books, the design hides a secret: the bookshelf cross-sections are vintage clock faces, and the handrails are shaped like clock hands, symbolizing the "ladder of history, pushed forward rapidly by time in the city." 📍 Address: L1-021, East Bank, Harbour Bay, Bao'an District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Linhai Station, Exit B2, about a 6-minute walk ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM 📸 Photo tips: We recommend going on a weekday morning; it's less crowded and great for photos. Use a wide-angle lens in the middle of the spiral bookshelves for the most stunning shots. · -- Yuxin Bookstore (Qianhai Inli Store): Entering the mirror tunnel of "Inception" If Zhongshuge is a red rhapsody, then Yuxin Bookstore is cool sci-fi. The mirrored light corridor at the entrance features reflective materials on both the ceiling and floor, with curved book walls layered upon each other. Walking inside really feels like traveling through the dream tunnel from "Inception." The central circular book tower displays over 20,000 selected books. The bookstore also includes a study room, a yoga studio, and a new Chinese-style tea house—you can drink traditional tea while reading, and even book a yoga class. Pretty cool, right? 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, North Li, Qianhai Inli, Nanshan District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Railway Park Station, Exit A/B, accessible right after exiting the station ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (study room requires reservation) 📸 Photo tips: Taking a full-body shot in the middle of the spiral corridor creates the best sense of depth. Visit on a rainy day for a surprise—the voice-activated installation projects light and poetry based on the intensity of the rain. · -- Shenzhen Library North Branch: A high-tech book repository hiding a "space elevator" This library, which only opened at the end of 2023, made a big splash right from the start: an 18-meter-high "space elevator" leads directly to a massive underground book repository that can hold over 4 million physical books. With its sci-fi blue book bins and industrial-style steel frames, you might feel like you've stepped onto an interstellar spaceship. ⚠️ Important reminder: The underground repository is only open on weekends, with 2 sessions per day, limited to 10 people per session. You must book tickets in advance via the "Shenzhen Library" official WeChat account. 📍 Address: Longhua District (near Hongshan Station) 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4/6, Hongshan Station, Exit A1, about a 200-meter walk 📸 Photo tips: The "space elevator" is visually stunning, but spots are very limited, so remember to set an alarm to book your reservation! · -- Niche hidden gems: Soulful bookstores hidden in corners If you don't like crowds, these shops are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon: 📚 Old Heaven Books: The "white moonlight" in the hearts of Shenzhen's literary youth, hidden in the OCT Creative Park. It specializes in niche humanities books and independent music records, and occasionally hosts literary salons and mini-concerts. It's not an influencer spot, but a true "soulful bookstore." 📚 Tsukishima Bookstore: "No entry for those under 16"—just for this rule alone, this bookstore located in an urban village is a winner. The books don't follow the bestseller route; it specializes in works from niche countries like Portugal and Zimbabwe, and it's as quiet as another world. 📚 Ozu Concept Bookstore: Hidden downstairs in a residential building in Jingtian. The owner is a movie buff, and most of the books in the shop are film-related. They screen independent films every night at 8:00 PM, and you can watch them while petting cats—a paradise for literary youth. 📚 Mi Bookstore (Luohu Yitian Store): The "most beautiful bookstore in China" that opened in December 2025. The four 10-meter-high giant book walls look like a city of knowledge, with aerial bridges winding through. It houses tens of thousands of books and also offers coffee and creative merchandise. 📚 Shenzhen Book City 24-Hour Bookstore: The first truly 24-hour bookstore in mainland China. It has been open since 2006, and no matter what time it is in the middle of the night, the lights are on, accompanying countless people through nights of studying, working overtime, or insomnia. The newly opened Yiwen Bookstore next door specializes in original foreign language books, with a red, yellow, and blue color-block design that looks like a colorful box, and you can even buy Jellycat plushies there. · -- When looking for the most beautiful bookstores in Shenzhen, don't just look at influencer photos; follow your own interests and dive in—some will amaze you with their design, some will calm you with their atmosphere, and some will accompany you through long nights with their late-night lights. This city is young, inclusive, and full of imagination. The most beautiful reading spaces are hidden in those corners you'd never expect, waiting for you to discover them.Henry#Harris176- Concrete Jungle at the Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Get ready for an urban adventure at Hong Kong’s iconic Monster Building -a sprawling 1960s apartment complex, now a city symbol thanks to blockbuster films and social media fame!

Zhuhai Family Vacation | This Is All You Need for Mid-Autumn Festival & National Day
Traveling with kids is usually exhausting. This time, I chose the Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort Sail Hotel, and once we checked in, I realized that a vacation can actually be this worry-free. The hotel lobby is incredibly high and bright. As soon as my kid walked in, they ran off to look at the sea, muttering, "It's so big!" The room has great natural light, and the bathtub is huge—taking a bath at night 🛀 washes away all the fatigue of the day. The infinity pool downstairs connects to a large lawn. My kid was running wild barefoot on the grass while I just relaxed on a chair—it was so cozy. After facial recognition, you can freely enter Mystery Island, the Ocean Hot Spring, the Petting Zoo, and the Dream Theater without needing tickets or waiting in line. My kid went crazy for the Larva theme area—when the sky bus went through the rainbow tunnel, they laughed with excitement, and I was chasing behind taking photos; every shot looked like a professional picture. They rode the track ride 3 times and still didn't want to leave. Feeding the alpacas and petting the rabbits was the same; they just squatted there talking to the little animals, and I couldn't even pull them away. In the evening, we went to the Ocean Hot Spring. Soaking in the pool while watching the sunset over the sea, with the sky changing from blue to orange and then to pink, everything went quiet. In that moment, I felt like the exhaustion of parenting didn't seem so heavy anymore. The next day, we slept in and had a buffet breakfast with a sea view. With 270-degree sea view seating, my kid munched on a croissant while I drank coffee—no one was rushing anyone. Here’s the most practical part: The Little Sailor Club offers half-day free childcare, so parents can actually take a breather. My eyes lit up when I heard that. There are free shuttle buses in the resort, so you don't have to walk. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, there's also a Harvest Festival, with parades, bands, and markets. It's a one-stop vacation spot, and my son said he wants to come back next time! Traveling with kids is usually exhausting.

Hulun Lake | I can't believe there's a sea hidden at the end of the grasslands
Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video. There are no crowded tourists, and you can get a full, panoramic view of this lake that looks just like the ocean. How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in. There is usually a contact number at the pasture entrance.

Who gets it?! I've discovered a hidden romantic sea of flowers in the Yangtze River Delta region✨ The Rose Valley in Yancheng, Changzhou, perfectly captures the gentleness of early summer! The entire valley is blanketed in 100,000 roses, with blooming flowers covering the mountains and plains🌹 It's rich and healing—definitely not just a few scattered flowers! Roses in deep red, peach, creamy white, soft champagne, and vintage caramel colors grow intertwined. Layers of colorful flowers spread along the valley, creating an incredible atmosphere! Winding wooden boardwalks are tightly wrapped in rose vines. Flower arches are everywhere; walking through them feels like stepping into a fairy-tale garden💐 A gentle breeze blows, bringing the scent of flowers—it's so lovely you won't want to leave! There are so many photo spots in the park; every shot is a stunning photo📸 Pure white flower windmills, swings and benches in the woods, and healing flower paths by the stream. There's also a valley viewing platform with a stunning view—every corner is perfect for photos! I highly recommend wearing a light-colored dress or Hanfu when you visit. Surrounded by the sea of flowers, even unedited photos look like stunning blockbusters! The location is perfect for a short getaway! It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai or Nanjing. The scenic area has a large free parking lot, making it super convenient for those driving. For those who don't want to drive, take the high-speed train to downtown Changzhou and transfer to the tourist shuttle—it's super convenient! Here are some practical tips I've gathered for your visit✅ Be sure to wear sunscreen and a sun hat. Since there's a lot of greenery in the valley, remember to bring mosquito repellent. This beautiful scenery is hard to maintain, so please be a respectful visitor and do not pick the flowers. I recommend booking your tickets online in advance; it's more cost-effective than buying them on-site. There are no hidden costs or mandatory fees, so you can enjoy your visit with peace of mind! You don't have to travel far to unlock the romance of an immersive rose valley. While the flowers are in full bloom, grab your friends and family and come check it out✨ The gentle flower sea of early summer is truly worth the trip!lincoln_peregrine_hawke6-

Then head to the Magic World Scenic Area to see the unique mountain and water views.🌙In the evening, head back to the B&B, sit in the garden, and rest up for the next day's itinerary. 💡Travel tips: You need to purchase tickets for the Changbai Mountain scenic area in advance. The temperature difference on the mountain is significant, so it's recommended to bring warm clothing no matter the season. If you're visiting the North Slope of Changbai Mountain and want a comfortable stay with easy access to attractions, this place is worth considering.✍️TwilightPulse3-

🚌【Transportation Guide】 If you're coming to Datong in September, honestly, taking the high-speed train to Datong South Station is the easiest way. The tourist shuttle bus parking lot is 50 meters west of the exit. Direct buses to Yungang Grottoes run every 20 minutes, cost only CNY 10 one way, and get you there in 40 minutes. The return trip also stops at the Ancient City and Datong Museum—a dream for lazy travelers 🎉. Coming from Datong Station isn't too bad either; you can take bus line 4 and transfer to line 3 to get to Yungang, though it takes longer. If you're in a rush, I wouldn't recommend this hassle. If you want to visit the Hanging Temple, take my advice: the straight-line distance from Yungang to the Hanging Temple isn't far, but taking public transport will take nearly 4 hours, which is really painful 😅. Just buy tickets on the "Datong Tourist Shuttle" mini-program. It's CNY 39/person from Yungang to the Hanging Temple. Grab a window seat on the right side to get a panoramic view of the Hanging Temple—book fast before they're gone. 🎫【Ticket Reservation】 Yungang Grottoes admission is CNY 120 (peak season price), CNY 60 for students, and free for those 60 and older. You must make a real-name reservation in advance via Trip.com or the "Yungang Grottoes Culture and Tourism" mini-program; tickets are usually not sold on the day of. Open from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. I recommend getting there before 8:00 AM, or once the tour groups arrive, your experience seeing the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 will be ruined 💔. Hanging Temple climbing tickets are CNY 100 + CNY 15 for park admission. Climbing tickets are limited, so be sure to book in advance, or you'll only be able to view it from afar, which is truly frustrating. Huayan Temple is CNY 50, Shanhuasi Temple is free but requires a reservation, and the Ancient City Wall and Datong Museum also require free reservations for entry. 🍜【Local Food Recommendations】 You won't know what "carb heaven" is until you get to Datong. These are the spots I've personally tested and can recommend 👇 🥢 Xijindao Sliced Noodles: Meat sauce with braised tofu combo—one bite and your soul is restored 🥟 Longjuxiang Shaomai: Paper-thin wrappers, lamb filling that bursts with juice 🍯 Zini 369 Coarse Grains: Chilled yellow rice cake with osmanthus honey—sweet but not cloying 🌶️ Xiaoxifu Jelly Noodles: Served with fried chili—absolutely amazing 🍖 Panglailai Rabbit Head: Pair with Datong beer—spicy and addictive 🍲 Kaige Restaurant: Copper hot pot + oil-fried meat + sea buckthorn juice—understand Datong cuisine in one meal 📸【Photo Spots】 In front of the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes, get close and use a wide-angle lens to capture both the Buddha's face and the mountain—it's incredibly stunning 📷 Shoot at the Lingyan Temple reflection pool around 3:00 PM; the reflection in the water is breathtaking The light in front of the Mahavira Hall at Huayan Temple is softest after 4:00 PM. Wear Hanfu for photos and you'll feel like you've traveled back to the Liao and Jin dynasties Get on the wall at the South Gate of the Datong Ancient City Wall at 6:30 PM. Stand by the parapet with your back to the city at sunset for beautiful silhouettes For the night view of the Ancient City Wall, after the lights come on at 7:30 PM, use a long exposure to capture the reflection of the city gate and the moat—every shot is a masterpiece 🌃 🗺️【Detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: Huayan Temple → Shanhuasi Temple → Cycling on the Ancient City Wall to watch the sunset → Late-night snacks on the Ancient Street. Enter Huayan Temple at 4:00 PM for the best light, then visit Shanhuasi Temple. Get on the wall at 6:30 PM to rent a bike, and get goosebumps the moment the lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Day 2️⃣: In-depth one-day tour of Yungang Grottoes. Rush in at 8:00 AM: Tanyao Square → Lingyan Temple → Cave 20 → walk back to Caves 5/6. Hire an official guide for CNY 168 (includes return battery car), otherwise you'll just be staring at rocks and won't know what you're looking at 😂. Head to the Lingyan Temple reflection pool at 3:00 PM for more photos. Day 3️⃣: Hanging Temple → Mount Heng (Northern Hengshan) → Departure. The shuttle bus leaves in the morning. Go to the Hanging Temple early to avoid crowds; climbing it is worth the trip. Take the cable car up Mount Heng to save energy, then take the shuttle bus back to the Ancient City after coming down. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 In September, Datong is over 20°C during the day, but only around 9°C in the morning and evening. You must bring a light jacket, or you'll know what suffering is once you stand on the city wall 🥶 Food inside the scenic areas is expensive and mediocre. Pack some water and snacks in your bag, don't be like me and regret it Shared e-bikes in the Ancient City are CNY 5 for 30 minutes—10,000 times more comfortable than walking Climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple are limited. If you don't book in advance, you can only view it from afar—I don't want you to experience that frustration Flash photography and drones are strictly prohibited inside Yungang. Don't break the rules on purpose I don't recommend wearing high heels to visit Yungang; the stone steps and uneven roads will make you question your life choices 👠❌ September is the most beautiful season in Datong—crisp autumn air and fewer crowds. Go before the National Day holiday. Booking hotels and tickets together on Trip.com is more cost-effective 💕MARIANNA WILLIAMSON7Shenzhen's most beautiful bookstores
People often call Shenzhen the "city of hustlers," but if you only come here for the office buildings and tech parks, you're really missing out. The most charming side of this immigrant city is hidden in bookstores that turn architectural design into an art form—some look like they're straight out of "Inception," others hide "space elevators," and some let you read and daydream between the mountains and the sea. Today, we'll dive into these incredible bookstores for a double baptism of the visual and the soul. · -- Zhongshuge (Harbour Bay Store): The magical world of red spiral bookshelves The "top influencer" of Shenzhen's bookstore scene, it's truly the ceiling of aesthetics. The moment you push open the door, you'll likely gasp—the 11-meter-high red spiral bookshelves wind upward like a DNA double helix. Reflected by the mirrored ceiling, the entire space extends infinitely, as if you've fallen into a universe of books. Covering 1,100 square meters with about 45,000 books, the design hides a secret: the bookshelf cross-sections are vintage clock faces, and the handrails are shaped like clock hands, symbolizing the "ladder of history, pushed forward rapidly by time in the city." 📍 Address: L1-021, East Bank, Harbour Bay, Bao'an District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Linhai Station, Exit B2, about a 6-minute walk ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM 📸 Photo tips: We recommend going on a weekday morning; it's less crowded and great for photos. Use a wide-angle lens in the middle of the spiral bookshelves for the most stunning shots. · -- Yuxin Bookstore (Qianhai Inli Store): Entering the mirror tunnel of "Inception" If Zhongshuge is a red rhapsody, then Yuxin Bookstore is cool sci-fi. The mirrored light corridor at the entrance features reflective materials on both the ceiling and floor, with curved book walls layered upon each other. Walking inside really feels like traveling through the dream tunnel from "Inception." The central circular book tower displays over 20,000 selected books. The bookstore also includes a study room, a yoga studio, and a new Chinese-style tea house—you can drink traditional tea while reading, and even book a yoga class. Pretty cool, right? 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, North Li, Qianhai Inli, Nanshan District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Railway Park Station, Exit A/B, accessible right after exiting the station ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (study room requires reservation) 📸 Photo tips: Taking a full-body shot in the middle of the spiral corridor creates the best sense of depth. Visit on a rainy day for a surprise—the voice-activated installation projects light and poetry based on the intensity of the rain. · -- Shenzhen Library North Branch: A high-tech book repository hiding a "space elevator" This library, which only opened at the end of 2023, made a big splash right from the start: an 18-meter-high "space elevator" leads directly to a massive underground book repository that can hold over 4 million physical books. With its sci-fi blue book bins and industrial-style steel frames, you might feel like you've stepped onto an interstellar spaceship. ⚠️ Important reminder: The underground repository is only open on weekends, with 2 sessions per day, limited to 10 people per session. You must book tickets in advance via the "Shenzhen Library" official WeChat account. 📍 Address: Longhua District (near Hongshan Station) 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4/6, Hongshan Station, Exit A1, about a 200-meter walk 📸 Photo tips: The "space elevator" is visually stunning, but spots are very limited, so remember to set an alarm to book your reservation! · -- Niche hidden gems: Soulful bookstores hidden in corners If you don't like crowds, these shops are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon: 📚 Old Heaven Books: The "white moonlight" in the hearts of Shenzhen's literary youth, hidden in the OCT Creative Park. It specializes in niche humanities books and independent music records, and occasionally hosts literary salons and mini-concerts. It's not an influencer spot, but a true "soulful bookstore." 📚 Tsukishima Bookstore: "No entry for those under 16"—just for this rule alone, this bookstore located in an urban village is a winner. The books don't follow the bestseller route; it specializes in works from niche countries like Portugal and Zimbabwe, and it's as quiet as another world. 📚 Ozu Concept Bookstore: Hidden downstairs in a residential building in Jingtian. The owner is a movie buff, and most of the books in the shop are film-related. They screen independent films every night at 8:00 PM, and you can watch them while petting cats—a paradise for literary youth. 📚 Mi Bookstore (Luohu Yitian Store): The "most beautiful bookstore in China" that opened in December 2025. The four 10-meter-high giant book walls look like a city of knowledge, with aerial bridges winding through. It houses tens of thousands of books and also offers coffee and creative merchandise. 📚 Shenzhen Book City 24-Hour Bookstore: The first truly 24-hour bookstore in mainland China. It has been open since 2006, and no matter what time it is in the middle of the night, the lights are on, accompanying countless people through nights of studying, working overtime, or insomnia. The newly opened Yiwen Bookstore next door specializes in original foreign language books, with a red, yellow, and blue color-block design that looks like a colorful box, and you can even buy Jellycat plushies there. · -- When looking for the most beautiful bookstores in Shenzhen, don't just look at influencer photos; follow your own interests and dive in—some will amaze you with their design, some will calm you with their atmosphere, and some will accompany you through long nights with their late-night lights. This city is young, inclusive, and full of imagination. The most beautiful reading spaces are hidden in those corners you'd never expect, waiting for you to discover them.Henry#Harris176- Concrete Jungle at the Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Get ready for an urban adventure at Hong Kong’s iconic Monster Building -a sprawling 1960s apartment complex, now a city symbol thanks to blockbuster films and social media fame!

Zhuhai Family Vacation | This Is All You Need for Mid-Autumn Festival & National Day
Traveling with kids is usually exhausting. This time, I chose the Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort Sail Hotel, and once we checked in, I realized that a vacation can actually be this worry-free. The hotel lobby is incredibly high and bright. As soon as my kid walked in, they ran off to look at the sea, muttering, "It's so big!" The room has great natural light, and the bathtub is huge—taking a bath at night 🛀 washes away all the fatigue of the day. The infinity pool downstairs connects to a large lawn. My kid was running wild barefoot on the grass while I just relaxed on a chair—it was so cozy. After facial recognition, you can freely enter Mystery Island, the Ocean Hot Spring, the Petting Zoo, and the Dream Theater without needing tickets or waiting in line. My kid went crazy for the Larva theme area—when the sky bus went through the rainbow tunnel, they laughed with excitement, and I was chasing behind taking photos; every shot looked like a professional picture. They rode the track ride 3 times and still didn't want to leave. Feeding the alpacas and petting the rabbits was the same; they just squatted there talking to the little animals, and I couldn't even pull them away. In the evening, we went to the Ocean Hot Spring. Soaking in the pool while watching the sunset over the sea, with the sky changing from blue to orange and then to pink, everything went quiet. In that moment, I felt like the exhaustion of parenting didn't seem so heavy anymore. The next day, we slept in and had a buffet breakfast with a sea view. With 270-degree sea view seating, my kid munched on a croissant while I drank coffee—no one was rushing anyone. Here’s the most practical part: The Little Sailor Club offers half-day free childcare, so parents can actually take a breather. My eyes lit up when I heard that. There are free shuttle buses in the resort, so you don't have to walk. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, there's also a Harvest Festival, with parades, bands, and markets. It's a one-stop vacation spot, and my son said he wants to come back next time! Traveling with kids is usually exhausting.

Hulun Lake | I can't believe there's a sea hidden at the end of the grasslands
Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video.

How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in.

Qiandao Lake is legendary in autumn: A complete guide to Huangshan Jian + Meifeng Island + Moonlight Island #StrollQiandao
As the autumn breeze sweeps across the mountains of western Zhejiang, thousands of islands are scattered across the vast expanse of emerald water. In autumn, Qiandao Lake transforms the entire landscape into a grand land art exhibition. To truly appreciate the autumn colors of Qiandao Lake, you must venture out onto the water. Take a cruise across the clear, emerald waves, where islands stretch out like a painting. The two core highlights of Qiandao Lake, Huangshan Jian and Meifeng Island, hold the most breathtaking panoramic views of this autumn landscape. Take the cable car for a slow ascent to the Huangshan Jian observation deck. Looking out into the distance, over 90 natural islands are scattered in a way that naturally outlines a spectacular wonder, a unique romantic landscape exclusive to Qiandao Lake. The autumn artistic vibe in the mountains is in full swing. Check in at the exclusive art wall, collect limited-edition autumn stamps, and receive exquisite landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and Qiandao Lake planter cups, turning the autumn scenery of Qiandao Lake into a unique memory you can take home. Leaving Huangshan Jian, head to Meifeng Island, a classic scenic spot at Qiandao Lake. Ride the Meifeng cable car through the autumn foliage and check in at the atmospheric Lao Ji Tea House, where the gentle and healing autumn-themed decorations will remain throughout the National Day holiday. The giant teacup installation is full of atmosphere; write an autumn letter here, collect landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and exclusive planter cups, and check in at the themed art wall. Each stamp captures a gentle moment of autumn in Qiandao. Reach the top of the observation deck to take in the panoramic view of the scattered islands and the lake merging with the sky. Next, let's move on to the tranquil Moonlight Island. Stroll along the water with the breeze on your face and unlock another, gentler and quieter side of Qiandao Lake. Climb high to take in the mountains and rivers, and slow down to savor the autumn mood. Collect light and shadows, preserve the gentleness between the lake and mountains, and embark on a romantic rendezvous with Qiandao Lake that lives up to the autumn and the landscape.

After the tour, return to the B&B and enjoy some local Northeastern cuisine nearby in the evening.🍞 Route 2 | Leisurely Stroll Route🚶🏻♀️ ☀️During the day, take a walk around Erdaobaihe town, browse the local market, and soak up the town's vibrant atmosphere.

🚌【Transportation Guide】 If you're coming to Datong in September, honestly, taking the high-speed train to Datong South Station is the easiest way. The tourist shuttle bus parking lot is 50 meters west of the exit. Direct buses to Yungang Grottoes run every 20 minutes, cost only CNY 10 one way, and get you there in 40 minutes. The return trip also stops at the Ancient City and Datong Museum—a dream for lazy travelers 🎉. Coming from Datong Station isn't too bad either; you can take bus line 4 and transfer to line 3 to get to Yungang, though it takes longer. If you're in a rush, I wouldn't recommend this hassle. If you want to visit the Hanging Temple, take my advice: the straight-line distance from Yungang to the Hanging Temple isn't far, but taking public transport will take nearly 4 hours, which is really painful 😅. Just buy tickets on the "Datong Tourist Shuttle" mini-program. It's CNY 39/person from Yungang to the Hanging Temple. Grab a window seat on the right side to get a panoramic view of the Hanging Temple—book fast before they're gone. 🎫【Ticket Reservation】 Yungang Grottoes admission is CNY 120 (peak season price), CNY 60 for students, and free for those 60 and older. You must make a real-name reservation in advance via Trip.com or the "Yungang Grottoes Culture and Tourism" mini-program; tickets are usually not sold on the day of. Open from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. I recommend getting there before 8:00 AM, or once the tour groups arrive, your experience seeing the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 will be ruined 💔. Hanging Temple climbing tickets are CNY 100 + CNY 15 for park admission. Climbing tickets are limited, so be sure to book in advance, or you'll only be able to view it from afar, which is truly frustrating. Huayan Temple is CNY 50, Shanhuasi Temple is free but requires a reservation, and the Ancient City Wall and Datong Museum also require free reservations for entry. 🍜【Local Food Recommendations】 You won't know what "carb heaven" is until you get to Datong. These are the spots I've personally tested and can recommend 👇 🥢 Xijindao Sliced Noodles: Meat sauce with braised tofu combo—one bite and your soul is restored 🥟 Longjuxiang Shaomai: Paper-thin wrappers, lamb filling that bursts with juice 🍯 Zini 369 Coarse Grains: Chilled yellow rice cake with osmanthus honey—sweet but not cloying 🌶️ Xiaoxifu Jelly Noodles: Served with fried chili—absolutely amazing 🍖 Panglailai Rabbit Head: Pair with Datong beer—spicy and addictive 🍲 Kaige Restaurant: Copper hot pot + oil-fried meat + sea buckthorn juice—understand Datong cuisine in one meal 📸【Photo Spots】 In front of the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes, get close and use a wide-angle lens to capture both the Buddha's face and the mountain—it's incredibly stunning 📷 Shoot at the Lingyan Temple reflection pool around 3:00 PM; the reflection in the water is breathtaking The light in front of the Mahavira Hall at Huayan Temple is softest after 4:00 PM. Wear Hanfu for photos and you'll feel like you've traveled back to the Liao and Jin dynasties Get on the wall at the South Gate of the Datong Ancient City Wall at 6:30 PM. Stand by the parapet with your back to the city at sunset for beautiful silhouettes For the night view of the Ancient City Wall, after the lights come on at 7:30 PM, use a long exposure to capture the reflection of the city gate and the moat—every shot is a masterpiece 🌃 🗺️【Detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: Huayan Temple → Shanhuasi Temple → Cycling on the Ancient City Wall to watch the sunset → Late-night snacks on the Ancient Street. Enter Huayan Temple at 4:00 PM for the best light, then visit Shanhuasi Temple. Get on the wall at 6:30 PM to rent a bike, and get goosebumps the moment the lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Day 2️⃣: In-depth one-day tour of Yungang Grottoes. Rush in at 8:00 AM: Tanyao Square → Lingyan Temple → Cave 20 → walk back to Caves 5/6. Hire an official guide for CNY 168 (includes return battery car), otherwise you'll just be staring at rocks and won't know what you're looking at 😂. Head to the Lingyan Temple reflection pool at 3:00 PM for more photos. Day 3️⃣: Hanging Temple → Mount Heng (Northern Hengshan) → Departure. The shuttle bus leaves in the morning. Go to the Hanging Temple early to avoid crowds; climbing it is worth the trip. Take the cable car up Mount Heng to save energy, then take the shuttle bus back to the Ancient City after coming down. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 In September, Datong is over 20°C during the day, but only around 9°C in the morning and evening. You must bring a light jacket, or you'll know what suffering is once you stand on the city wall 🥶 Food inside the scenic areas is expensive and mediocre. Pack some water and snacks in your bag, don't be like me and regret it Shared e-bikes in the Ancient City are CNY 5 for 30 minutes—10,000 times more comfortable than walking Climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple are limited. If you don't book in advance, you can only view it from afar—I don't want you to experience that frustration Flash photography and drones are strictly prohibited inside Yungang. Don't break the rules on purpose I don't recommend wearing high heels to visit Yungang; the stone steps and uneven roads will make you question your life choices 👠❌ September is the most beautiful season in Datong—crisp autumn air and fewer crowds. Go before the National Day holiday. Booking hotels and tickets together on Trip.com is more cost-effective 💕MARIANNA WILLIAMSON7Shenzhen's most beautiful bookstores
People often call Shenzhen the "city of hustlers," but if you only come here for the office buildings and tech parks, you're really missing out. The most charming side of this immigrant city is hidden in bookstores that turn architectural design into an art form—some look like they're straight out of "Inception," others hide "space elevators," and some let you read and daydream between the mountains and the sea. Today, we'll dive into these incredible bookstores for a double baptism of the visual and the soul. · -- Zhongshuge (Harbour Bay Store): The magical world of red spiral bookshelves The "top influencer" of Shenzhen's bookstore scene, it's truly the ceiling of aesthetics. The moment you push open the door, you'll likely gasp—the 11-meter-high red spiral bookshelves wind upward like a DNA double helix. Reflected by the mirrored ceiling, the entire space extends infinitely, as if you've fallen into a universe of books. Covering 1,100 square meters with about 45,000 books, the design hides a secret: the bookshelf cross-sections are vintage clock faces, and the handrails are shaped like clock hands, symbolizing the "ladder of history, pushed forward rapidly by time in the city." 📍 Address: L1-021, East Bank, Harbour Bay, Bao'an District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Linhai Station, Exit B2, about a 6-minute walk ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM 📸 Photo tips: We recommend going on a weekday morning; it's less crowded and great for photos. Use a wide-angle lens in the middle of the spiral bookshelves for the most stunning shots. · -- Yuxin Bookstore (Qianhai Inli Store): Entering the mirror tunnel of "Inception" If Zhongshuge is a red rhapsody, then Yuxin Bookstore is cool sci-fi. The mirrored light corridor at the entrance features reflective materials on both the ceiling and floor, with curved book walls layered upon each other. Walking inside really feels like traveling through the dream tunnel from "Inception." The central circular book tower displays over 20,000 selected books. The bookstore also includes a study room, a yoga studio, and a new Chinese-style tea house—you can drink traditional tea while reading, and even book a yoga class. Pretty cool, right? 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, North Li, Qianhai Inli, Nanshan District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Railway Park Station, Exit A/B, accessible right after exiting the station ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (study room requires reservation) 📸 Photo tips: Taking a full-body shot in the middle of the spiral corridor creates the best sense of depth. Visit on a rainy day for a surprise—the voice-activated installation projects light and poetry based on the intensity of the rain. · -- Shenzhen Library North Branch: A high-tech book repository hiding a "space elevator" This library, which only opened at the end of 2023, made a big splash right from the start: an 18-meter-high "space elevator" leads directly to a massive underground book repository that can hold over 4 million physical books. With its sci-fi blue book bins and industrial-style steel frames, you might feel like you've stepped onto an interstellar spaceship. ⚠️ Important reminder: The underground repository is only open on weekends, with 2 sessions per day, limited to 10 people per session. You must book tickets in advance via the "Shenzhen Library" official WeChat account. 📍 Address: Longhua District (near Hongshan Station) 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4/6, Hongshan Station, Exit A1, about a 200-meter walk 📸 Photo tips: The "space elevator" is visually stunning, but spots are very limited, so remember to set an alarm to book your reservation! · -- Niche hidden gems: Soulful bookstores hidden in corners If you don't like crowds, these shops are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon: 📚 Old Heaven Books: The "white moonlight" in the hearts of Shenzhen's literary youth, hidden in the OCT Creative Park. It specializes in niche humanities books and independent music records, and occasionally hosts literary salons and mini-concerts. It's not an influencer spot, but a true "soulful bookstore." 📚 Tsukishima Bookstore: "No entry for those under 16"—just for this rule alone, this bookstore located in an urban village is a winner. The books don't follow the bestseller route; it specializes in works from niche countries like Portugal and Zimbabwe, and it's as quiet as another world. 📚 Ozu Concept Bookstore: Hidden downstairs in a residential building in Jingtian. The owner is a movie buff, and most of the books in the shop are film-related. They screen independent films every night at 8:00 PM, and you can watch them while petting cats—a paradise for literary youth. 📚 Mi Bookstore (Luohu Yitian Store): The "most beautiful bookstore in China" that opened in December 2025. The four 10-meter-high giant book walls look like a city of knowledge, with aerial bridges winding through. It houses tens of thousands of books and also offers coffee and creative merchandise. 📚 Shenzhen Book City 24-Hour Bookstore: The first truly 24-hour bookstore in mainland China. It has been open since 2006, and no matter what time it is in the middle of the night, the lights are on, accompanying countless people through nights of studying, working overtime, or insomnia. The newly opened Yiwen Bookstore next door specializes in original foreign language books, with a red, yellow, and blue color-block design that looks like a colorful box, and you can even buy Jellycat plushies there. · -- When looking for the most beautiful bookstores in Shenzhen, don't just look at influencer photos; follow your own interests and dive in—some will amaze you with their design, some will calm you with their atmosphere, and some will accompany you through long nights with their late-night lights. This city is young, inclusive, and full of imagination. The most beautiful reading spaces are hidden in those corners you'd never expect, waiting for you to discover them.Henry#Harris176- Concrete Jungle at the Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Get ready for an urban adventure at Hong Kong’s iconic Monster Building -a sprawling 1960s apartment complex, now a city symbol thanks to blockbuster films and social media fame!

Zhuhai Family Vacation | This Is All You Need for Mid-Autumn Festival & National Day
Traveling with kids is usually exhausting. This time, I chose the Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort Sail Hotel, and once we checked in, I realized that a vacation can actually be this worry-free. The hotel lobby is incredibly high and bright. As soon as my kid walked in, they ran off to look at the sea, muttering, "It's so big!" The room has great natural light, and the bathtub is huge—taking a bath at night 🛀 washes away all the fatigue of the day. The infinity pool downstairs connects to a large lawn. My kid was running wild barefoot on the grass while I just relaxed on a chair—it was so cozy. After facial recognition, you can freely enter Mystery Island, the Ocean Hot Spring, the Petting Zoo, and the Dream Theater without needing tickets or waiting in line. My kid went crazy for the Larva theme area—when the sky bus went through the rainbow tunnel, they laughed with excitement, and I was chasing behind taking photos; every shot looked like a professional picture. They rode the track ride 3 times and still didn't want to leave. Feeding the alpacas and petting the rabbits was the same; they just squatted there talking to the little animals, and I couldn't even pull them away. In the evening, we went to the Ocean Hot Spring. Soaking in the pool while watching the sunset over the sea, with the sky changing from blue to orange and then to pink, everything went quiet. In that moment, I felt like the exhaustion of parenting didn't seem so heavy anymore. The next day, we slept in and had a buffet breakfast with a sea view. With 270-degree sea view seating, my kid munched on a croissant while I drank coffee—no one was rushing anyone. Here’s the most practical part: The Little Sailor Club offers half-day free childcare, so parents can actually take a breather. My eyes lit up when I heard that. There are free shuttle buses in the resort, so you don't have to walk. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, there's also a Harvest Festival, with parades, bands, and markets. It's a one-stop vacation spot, and my son said he wants to come back next time! Traveling with kids is usually exhausting.

Hulun Lake | I can't believe there's a sea hidden at the end of the grasslands
Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video. There are no crowded tourists, and you can get a full, panoramic view of this lake that looks just like the ocean. How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in. There is usually a contact number at the pasture entrance. Communicate with the herdsmen in advance, pay a small entrance fee, and get permission before entering. 🚗Transportation: Must drive yourself / charter a car; there is no public transportation. Mostly dirt roads, so an SUV is preferred. Be cautious with small cars, as they can easily get stuck in the mud on rainy days. ㅤ Best time: Sunset🌅 Arrive 2 hours before sunset. The sunlight turns a warm gold, the lake surface takes on an orange hue, the contours of the cliffs are most defined, and the silhouettes of the cattle and sheep are stunning.

After sunset, there are still a few minutes of the "blue hour," which is perfect for drone shots to create an incredible atmosphere. ㅤ I am Xiaji🔆, a working professional who recharges through travel~ For more Inner Mongolia travel guides, feel free to follow me!Emma McKenzie453 This is my favorite city so far!

Who gets it?! I've discovered a hidden romantic sea of flowers in the Yangtze River Delta region✨ The Rose Valley in Yancheng, Changzhou, perfectly captures the gentleness of early summer! The entire valley is blanketed in 100,000 roses, with blooming flowers covering the mountains and plains🌹 It's rich and healing—definitely not just a few scattered flowers! Roses in deep red, peach, creamy white, soft champagne, and vintage caramel colors grow intertwined. Layers of colorful flowers spread along the valley, creating an incredible atmosphere! Winding wooden boardwalks are tightly wrapped in rose vines. Flower arches are everywhere; walking through them feels like stepping into a fairy-tale garden💐 A gentle breeze blows, bringing the scent of flowers—it's so lovely you won't want to leave! There are so many photo spots in the park; every shot is a stunning photo📸 Pure white flower windmills, swings and benches in the woods, and healing flower paths by the stream. There's also a valley viewing platform with a stunning view—every corner is perfect for photos! I highly recommend wearing a light-colored dress or Hanfu when you visit. Surrounded by the sea of flowers, even unedited photos look like stunning blockbusters! The location is perfect for a short getaway! It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai or Nanjing. The scenic area has a large free parking lot, making it super convenient for those driving. For those who don't want to drive, take the high-speed train to downtown Changzhou and transfer to the tourist shuttle—it's super convenient! Here are some practical tips I've gathered for your visit✅ Be sure to wear sunscreen and a sun hat. Since there's a lot of greenery in the valley, remember to bring mosquito repellent. This beautiful scenery is hard to maintain, so please be a respectful visitor and do not pick the flowers. I recommend booking your tickets online in advance; it's more cost-effective than buying them on-site. There are no hidden costs or mandatory fees, so you can enjoy your visit with peace of mind! You don't have to travel far to unlock the romance of an immersive rose valley. While the flowers are in full bloom, grab your friends and family and come check it out✨ The gentle flower sea of early summer is truly worth the trip!lincoln_peregrine_hawke6-

There's also a laundry room, which makes washing clothes during your trip super convenient.👏 📍It's located near the Changbai Mountain North Slope Visitor Center, making it very convenient to get to the North Slope scenic area.🚗It's also easy to find if you're driving. The surrounding area has everything you need—restaurants and shops are all close by, so you don't have to stay somewhere remote, saving you a lot of hassle on your trip. Two nearby route suggestions✨ Route 1 | Changbai Mountain North Slope One-Day Trip🌟 🏠Start from the B&B and head to the Changbai Mountain North Slope scenic area. Visit Heaven Lake first, then continue to Changbai Waterfall, Green Abyss Pool, and the Underground Forest. I'd suggest setting off early, as the weather on the mountain changes quickly—remember to bring a thick jacket. After the tour, return to the B&B and enjoy some local Northeastern cuisine nearby in the evening.🍞 Route 2 | Leisurely Stroll Route🚶🏻♀️ ☀️During the day, take a walk around Erdaobaihe town, browse the local market, and soak up the town's vibrant atmosphere. Then head to the Magic World Scenic Area to see the unique mountain and water views.🌙In the evening, head back to the B&B, sit in the garden, and rest up for the next day's itinerary. 💡Travel tips: You need to purchase tickets for the Changbai Mountain scenic area in advance. The temperature difference on the mountain is significant, so it's recommended to bring warm clothing no matter the season. If you're visiting the North Slope of Changbai Mountain and want a comfortable stay with easy access to attractions, this place is worth considering.✍️TwilightPulse3-

🚌【Transportation Guide】 If you're coming to Datong in September, honestly, taking the high-speed train to Datong South Station is the easiest way. The tourist shuttle bus parking lot is 50 meters west of the exit. Direct buses to Yungang Grottoes run every 20 minutes, cost only CNY 10 one way, and get you there in 40 minutes. The return trip also stops at the Ancient City and Datong Museum—a dream for lazy travelers 🎉. Coming from Datong Station isn't too bad either; you can take bus line 4 and transfer to line 3 to get to Yungang, though it takes longer. If you're in a rush, I wouldn't recommend this hassle. If you want to visit the Hanging Temple, take my advice: the straight-line distance from Yungang to the Hanging Temple isn't far, but taking public transport will take nearly 4 hours, which is really painful 😅. Just buy tickets on the "Datong Tourist Shuttle" mini-program. It's CNY 39/person from Yungang to the Hanging Temple. Grab a window seat on the right side to get a panoramic view of the Hanging Temple—book fast before they're gone. 🎫【Ticket Reservation】 Yungang Grottoes admission is CNY 120 (peak season price), CNY 60 for students, and free for those 60 and older. You must make a real-name reservation in advance via Trip.com or the "Yungang Grottoes Culture and Tourism" mini-program; tickets are usually not sold on the day of. Open from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. I recommend getting there before 8:00 AM, or once the tour groups arrive, your experience seeing the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 will be ruined 💔. Hanging Temple climbing tickets are CNY 100 + CNY 15 for park admission. Climbing tickets are limited, so be sure to book in advance, or you'll only be able to view it from afar, which is truly frustrating. Huayan Temple is CNY 50, Shanhuasi Temple is free but requires a reservation, and the Ancient City Wall and Datong Museum also require free reservations for entry. 🍜【Local Food Recommendations】 You won't know what "carb heaven" is until you get to Datong. These are the spots I've personally tested and can recommend 👇 🥢 Xijindao Sliced Noodles: Meat sauce with braised tofu combo—one bite and your soul is restored 🥟 Longjuxiang Shaomai: Paper-thin wrappers, lamb filling that bursts with juice 🍯 Zini 369 Coarse Grains: Chilled yellow rice cake with osmanthus honey—sweet but not cloying 🌶️ Xiaoxifu Jelly Noodles: Served with fried chili—absolutely amazing 🍖 Panglailai Rabbit Head: Pair with Datong beer—spicy and addictive 🍲 Kaige Restaurant: Copper hot pot + oil-fried meat + sea buckthorn juice—understand Datong cuisine in one meal 📸【Photo Spots】 In front of the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes, get close and use a wide-angle lens to capture both the Buddha's face and the mountain—it's incredibly stunning 📷 Shoot at the Lingyan Temple reflection pool around 3:00 PM; the reflection in the water is breathtaking The light in front of the Mahavira Hall at Huayan Temple is softest after 4:00 PM. Wear Hanfu for photos and you'll feel like you've traveled back to the Liao and Jin dynasties Get on the wall at the South Gate of the Datong Ancient City Wall at 6:30 PM. Stand by the parapet with your back to the city at sunset for beautiful silhouettes For the night view of the Ancient City Wall, after the lights come on at 7:30 PM, use a long exposure to capture the reflection of the city gate and the moat—every shot is a masterpiece 🌃 🗺️【Detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: Huayan Temple → Shanhuasi Temple → Cycling on the Ancient City Wall to watch the sunset → Late-night snacks on the Ancient Street. Enter Huayan Temple at 4:00 PM for the best light, then visit Shanhuasi Temple. Get on the wall at 6:30 PM to rent a bike, and get goosebumps the moment the lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Day 2️⃣: In-depth one-day tour of Yungang Grottoes. Rush in at 8:00 AM: Tanyao Square → Lingyan Temple → Cave 20 → walk back to Caves 5/6. Hire an official guide for CNY 168 (includes return battery car), otherwise you'll just be staring at rocks and won't know what you're looking at 😂. Head to the Lingyan Temple reflection pool at 3:00 PM for more photos. Day 3️⃣: Hanging Temple → Mount Heng (Northern Hengshan) → Departure. The shuttle bus leaves in the morning. Go to the Hanging Temple early to avoid crowds; climbing it is worth the trip. Take the cable car up Mount Heng to save energy, then take the shuttle bus back to the Ancient City after coming down. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 In September, Datong is over 20°C during the day, but only around 9°C in the morning and evening. You must bring a light jacket, or you'll know what suffering is once you stand on the city wall 🥶 Food inside the scenic areas is expensive and mediocre. Pack some water and snacks in your bag, don't be like me and regret it Shared e-bikes in the Ancient City are CNY 5 for 30 minutes—10,000 times more comfortable than walking Climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple are limited. If you don't book in advance, you can only view it from afar—I don't want you to experience that frustration Flash photography and drones are strictly prohibited inside Yungang. Don't break the rules on purpose I don't recommend wearing high heels to visit Yungang; the stone steps and uneven roads will make you question your life choices 👠❌ September is the most beautiful season in Datong—crisp autumn air and fewer crowds. Go before the National Day holiday. Booking hotels and tickets together on Trip.com is more cost-effective 💕MARIANNA WILLIAMSON7Shenzhen's most beautiful bookstores
People often call Shenzhen the "city of hustlers," but if you only come here for the office buildings and tech parks, you're really missing out. The most charming side of this immigrant city is hidden in bookstores that turn architectural design into an art form—some look like they're straight out of "Inception," others hide "space elevators," and some let you read and daydream between the mountains and the sea. Today, we'll dive into these incredible bookstores for a double baptism of the visual and the soul. · -- Zhongshuge (Harbour Bay Store): The magical world of red spiral bookshelves The "top influencer" of Shenzhen's bookstore scene, it's truly the ceiling of aesthetics. The moment you push open the door, you'll likely gasp—the 11-meter-high red spiral bookshelves wind upward like a DNA double helix. Reflected by the mirrored ceiling, the entire space extends infinitely, as if you've fallen into a universe of books. Covering 1,100 square meters with about 45,000 books, the design hides a secret: the bookshelf cross-sections are vintage clock faces, and the handrails are shaped like clock hands, symbolizing the "ladder of history, pushed forward rapidly by time in the city." 📍 Address: L1-021, East Bank, Harbour Bay, Bao'an District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Linhai Station, Exit B2, about a 6-minute walk ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM 📸 Photo tips: We recommend going on a weekday morning; it's less crowded and great for photos. Use a wide-angle lens in the middle of the spiral bookshelves for the most stunning shots. · -- Yuxin Bookstore (Qianhai Inli Store): Entering the mirror tunnel of "Inception" If Zhongshuge is a red rhapsody, then Yuxin Bookstore is cool sci-fi. The mirrored light corridor at the entrance features reflective materials on both the ceiling and floor, with curved book walls layered upon each other. Walking inside really feels like traveling through the dream tunnel from "Inception." The central circular book tower displays over 20,000 selected books. The bookstore also includes a study room, a yoga studio, and a new Chinese-style tea house—you can drink traditional tea while reading, and even book a yoga class. Pretty cool, right? 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, North Li, Qianhai Inli, Nanshan District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Railway Park Station, Exit A/B, accessible right after exiting the station ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (study room requires reservation) 📸 Photo tips: Taking a full-body shot in the middle of the spiral corridor creates the best sense of depth. Visit on a rainy day for a surprise—the voice-activated installation projects light and poetry based on the intensity of the rain. · -- Shenzhen Library North Branch: A high-tech book repository hiding a "space elevator" This library, which only opened at the end of 2023, made a big splash right from the start: an 18-meter-high "space elevator" leads directly to a massive underground book repository that can hold over 4 million physical books. With its sci-fi blue book bins and industrial-style steel frames, you might feel like you've stepped onto an interstellar spaceship. ⚠️ Important reminder: The underground repository is only open on weekends, with 2 sessions per day, limited to 10 people per session. You must book tickets in advance via the "Shenzhen Library" official WeChat account. 📍 Address: Longhua District (near Hongshan Station) 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4/6, Hongshan Station, Exit A1, about a 200-meter walk 📸 Photo tips: The "space elevator" is visually stunning, but spots are very limited, so remember to set an alarm to book your reservation! · -- Niche hidden gems: Soulful bookstores hidden in corners If you don't like crowds, these shops are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon: 📚 Old Heaven Books: The "white moonlight" in the hearts of Shenzhen's literary youth, hidden in the OCT Creative Park. It specializes in niche humanities books and independent music records, and occasionally hosts literary salons and mini-concerts. It's not an influencer spot, but a true "soulful bookstore." 📚 Tsukishima Bookstore: "No entry for those under 16"—just for this rule alone, this bookstore located in an urban village is a winner. The books don't follow the bestseller route; it specializes in works from niche countries like Portugal and Zimbabwe, and it's as quiet as another world. 📚 Ozu Concept Bookstore: Hidden downstairs in a residential building in Jingtian. The owner is a movie buff, and most of the books in the shop are film-related. They screen independent films every night at 8:00 PM, and you can watch them while petting cats—a paradise for literary youth. 📚 Mi Bookstore (Luohu Yitian Store): The "most beautiful bookstore in China" that opened in December 2025. The four 10-meter-high giant book walls look like a city of knowledge, with aerial bridges winding through. It houses tens of thousands of books and also offers coffee and creative merchandise. 📚 Shenzhen Book City 24-Hour Bookstore: The first truly 24-hour bookstore in mainland China. It has been open since 2006, and no matter what time it is in the middle of the night, the lights are on, accompanying countless people through nights of studying, working overtime, or insomnia. The newly opened Yiwen Bookstore next door specializes in original foreign language books, with a red, yellow, and blue color-block design that looks like a colorful box, and you can even buy Jellycat plushies there. · -- When looking for the most beautiful bookstores in Shenzhen, don't just look at influencer photos; follow your own interests and dive in—some will amaze you with their design, some will calm you with their atmosphere, and some will accompany you through long nights with their late-night lights. This city is young, inclusive, and full of imagination. The most beautiful reading spaces are hidden in those corners you'd never expect, waiting for you to discover them.Henry#Harris176- Concrete Jungle at the Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Get ready for an urban adventure at Hong Kong’s iconic Monster Building -a sprawling 1960s apartment complex, now a city symbol thanks to blockbuster films and social media fame!

Zhuhai Family Vacation | This Is All You Need for Mid-Autumn Festival & National Day
Traveling with kids is usually exhausting. This time, I chose the Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort Sail Hotel, and once we checked in, I realized that a vacation can actually be this worry-free. The hotel lobby is incredibly high and bright. As soon as my kid walked in, they ran off to look at the sea, muttering, "It's so big!" The room has great natural light, and the bathtub is huge—taking a bath at night 🛀 washes away all the fatigue of the day. The infinity pool downstairs connects to a large lawn. My kid was running wild barefoot on the grass while I just relaxed on a chair—it was so cozy. After facial recognition, you can freely enter Mystery Island, the Ocean Hot Spring, the Petting Zoo, and the Dream Theater without needing tickets or waiting in line. My kid went crazy for the Larva theme area—when the sky bus went through the rainbow tunnel, they laughed with excitement, and I was chasing behind taking photos; every shot looked like a professional picture. They rode the track ride 3 times and still didn't want to leave. Feeding the alpacas and petting the rabbits was the same; they just squatted there talking to the little animals, and I couldn't even pull them away. In the evening, we went to the Ocean Hot Spring. Soaking in the pool while watching the sunset over the sea, with the sky changing from blue to orange and then to pink, everything went quiet. In that moment, I felt like the exhaustion of parenting didn't seem so heavy anymore. The next day, we slept in and had a buffet breakfast with a sea view. With 270-degree sea view seating, my kid munched on a croissant while I drank coffee—no one was rushing anyone. Here’s the most practical part: The Little Sailor Club offers half-day free childcare, so parents can actually take a breather. My eyes lit up when I heard that. There are free shuttle buses in the resort, so you don't have to walk. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, there's also a Harvest Festival, with parades, bands, and markets. It's a one-stop vacation spot, and my son said he wants to come back next time! Traveling with kids is usually exhausting.

Hulun Lake | I can't believe there's a sea hidden at the end of the grasslands
Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video.

How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in.

Qiandao Lake is legendary in autumn: A complete guide to Huangshan Jian + Meifeng Island + Moonlight Island #StrollQiandao
As the autumn breeze sweeps across the mountains of western Zhejiang, thousands of islands are scattered across the vast expanse of emerald water. In autumn, Qiandao Lake transforms the entire landscape into a grand land art exhibition. To truly appreciate the autumn colors of Qiandao Lake, you must venture out onto the water. Take a cruise across the clear, emerald waves, where islands stretch out like a painting. The two core highlights of Qiandao Lake, Huangshan Jian and Meifeng Island, hold the most breathtaking panoramic views of this autumn landscape. Take the cable car for a slow ascent to the Huangshan Jian observation deck. Looking out into the distance, over 90 natural islands are scattered in a way that naturally outlines a spectacular wonder, a unique romantic landscape exclusive to Qiandao Lake. The autumn artistic vibe in the mountains is in full swing. Check in at the exclusive art wall, collect limited-edition autumn stamps, and receive exquisite landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and Qiandao Lake planter cups, turning the autumn scenery of Qiandao Lake into a unique memory you can take home. Leaving Huangshan Jian, head to Meifeng Island, a classic scenic spot at Qiandao Lake. Ride the Meifeng cable car through the autumn foliage and check in at the atmospheric Lao Ji Tea House, where the gentle and healing autumn-themed decorations will remain throughout the National Day holiday. The giant teacup installation is full of atmosphere; write an autumn letter here, collect landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and exclusive planter cups, and check in at the themed art wall. Each stamp captures a gentle moment of autumn in Qiandao. Reach the top of the observation deck to take in the panoramic view of the scattered islands and the lake merging with the sky. Next, let's move on to the tranquil Moonlight Island. Stroll along the water with the breeze on your face and unlock another, gentler and quieter side of Qiandao Lake. Climb high to take in the mountains and rivers, and slow down to savor the autumn mood. Collect light and shadows, preserve the gentleness between the lake and mountains, and embark on a romantic rendezvous with Qiandao Lake that lives up to the autumn and the landscape.

🚌【Transportation Guide】 If you're coming to Datong in September, honestly, taking the high-speed train to Datong South Station is the easiest way. The tourist shuttle bus parking lot is 50 meters west of the exit. Direct buses to Yungang Grottoes run every 20 minutes, cost only CNY 10 one way, and get you there in 40 minutes. The return trip also stops at the Ancient City and Datong Museum—a dream for lazy travelers 🎉. Coming from Datong Station isn't too bad either; you can take bus line 4 and transfer to line 3 to get to Yungang, though it takes longer. If you're in a rush, I wouldn't recommend this hassle. If you want to visit the Hanging Temple, take my advice: the straight-line distance from Yungang to the Hanging Temple isn't far, but taking public transport will take nearly 4 hours, which is really painful 😅. Just buy tickets on the "Datong Tourist Shuttle" mini-program. It's CNY 39/person from Yungang to the Hanging Temple. Grab a window seat on the right side to get a panoramic view of the Hanging Temple—book fast before they're gone. 🎫【Ticket Reservation】 Yungang Grottoes admission is CNY 120 (peak season price), CNY 60 for students, and free for those 60 and older. You must make a real-name reservation in advance via Trip.com or the "Yungang Grottoes Culture and Tourism" mini-program; tickets are usually not sold on the day of. Open from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. I recommend getting there before 8:00 AM, or once the tour groups arrive, your experience seeing the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 will be ruined 💔. Hanging Temple climbing tickets are CNY 100 + CNY 15 for park admission. Climbing tickets are limited, so be sure to book in advance, or you'll only be able to view it from afar, which is truly frustrating. Huayan Temple is CNY 50, Shanhuasi Temple is free but requires a reservation, and the Ancient City Wall and Datong Museum also require free reservations for entry. 🍜【Local Food Recommendations】 You won't know what "carb heaven" is until you get to Datong. These are the spots I've personally tested and can recommend 👇 🥢 Xijindao Sliced Noodles: Meat sauce with braised tofu combo—one bite and your soul is restored 🥟 Longjuxiang Shaomai: Paper-thin wrappers, lamb filling that bursts with juice 🍯 Zini 369 Coarse Grains: Chilled yellow rice cake with osmanthus honey—sweet but not cloying 🌶️ Xiaoxifu Jelly Noodles: Served with fried chili—absolutely amazing 🍖 Panglailai Rabbit Head: Pair with Datong beer—spicy and addictive 🍲 Kaige Restaurant: Copper hot pot + oil-fried meat + sea buckthorn juice—understand Datong cuisine in one meal 📸【Photo Spots】 In front of the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes, get close and use a wide-angle lens to capture both the Buddha's face and the mountain—it's incredibly stunning 📷 Shoot at the Lingyan Temple reflection pool around 3:00 PM; the reflection in the water is breathtaking The light in front of the Mahavira Hall at Huayan Temple is softest after 4:00 PM. Wear Hanfu for photos and you'll feel like you've traveled back to the Liao and Jin dynasties Get on the wall at the South Gate of the Datong Ancient City Wall at 6:30 PM. Stand by the parapet with your back to the city at sunset for beautiful silhouettes For the night view of the Ancient City Wall, after the lights come on at 7:30 PM, use a long exposure to capture the reflection of the city gate and the moat—every shot is a masterpiece 🌃 🗺️【Detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: Huayan Temple → Shanhuasi Temple → Cycling on the Ancient City Wall to watch the sunset → Late-night snacks on the Ancient Street. Enter Huayan Temple at 4:00 PM for the best light, then visit Shanhuasi Temple. Get on the wall at 6:30 PM to rent a bike, and get goosebumps the moment the lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Day 2️⃣: In-depth one-day tour of Yungang Grottoes. Rush in at 8:00 AM: Tanyao Square → Lingyan Temple → Cave 20 → walk back to Caves 5/6. Hire an official guide for CNY 168 (includes return battery car), otherwise you'll just be staring at rocks and won't know what you're looking at 😂. Head to the Lingyan Temple reflection pool at 3:00 PM for more photos. Day 3️⃣: Hanging Temple → Mount Heng (Northern Hengshan) → Departure. The shuttle bus leaves in the morning. Go to the Hanging Temple early to avoid crowds; climbing it is worth the trip. Take the cable car up Mount Heng to save energy, then take the shuttle bus back to the Ancient City after coming down. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 In September, Datong is over 20°C during the day, but only around 9°C in the morning and evening. You must bring a light jacket, or you'll know what suffering is once you stand on the city wall 🥶 Food inside the scenic areas is expensive and mediocre. Pack some water and snacks in your bag, don't be like me and regret it Shared e-bikes in the Ancient City are CNY 5 for 30 minutes—10,000 times more comfortable than walking Climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple are limited. If you don't book in advance, you can only view it from afar—I don't want you to experience that frustration Flash photography and drones are strictly prohibited inside Yungang. Don't break the rules on purpose I don't recommend wearing high heels to visit Yungang; the stone steps and uneven roads will make you question your life choices 👠❌ September is the most beautiful season in Datong—crisp autumn air and fewer crowds. Go before the National Day holiday. Booking hotels and tickets together on Trip.com is more cost-effective 💕MARIANNA WILLIAMSON7Shenzhen's most beautiful bookstores
People often call Shenzhen the "city of hustlers," but if you only come here for the office buildings and tech parks, you're really missing out. The most charming side of this immigrant city is hidden in bookstores that turn architectural design into an art form—some look like they're straight out of "Inception," others hide "space elevators," and some let you read and daydream between the mountains and the sea. Today, we'll dive into these incredible bookstores for a double baptism of the visual and the soul. · -- Zhongshuge (Harbour Bay Store): The magical world of red spiral bookshelves The "top influencer" of Shenzhen's bookstore scene, it's truly the ceiling of aesthetics. The moment you push open the door, you'll likely gasp—the 11-meter-high red spiral bookshelves wind upward like a DNA double helix. Reflected by the mirrored ceiling, the entire space extends infinitely, as if you've fallen into a universe of books. Covering 1,100 square meters with about 45,000 books, the design hides a secret: the bookshelf cross-sections are vintage clock faces, and the handrails are shaped like clock hands, symbolizing the "ladder of history, pushed forward rapidly by time in the city." 📍 Address: L1-021, East Bank, Harbour Bay, Bao'an District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Linhai Station, Exit B2, about a 6-minute walk ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM 📸 Photo tips: We recommend going on a weekday morning; it's less crowded and great for photos. Use a wide-angle lens in the middle of the spiral bookshelves for the most stunning shots. · -- Yuxin Bookstore (Qianhai Inli Store): Entering the mirror tunnel of "Inception" If Zhongshuge is a red rhapsody, then Yuxin Bookstore is cool sci-fi. The mirrored light corridor at the entrance features reflective materials on both the ceiling and floor, with curved book walls layered upon each other. Walking inside really feels like traveling through the dream tunnel from "Inception." The central circular book tower displays over 20,000 selected books. The bookstore also includes a study room, a yoga studio, and a new Chinese-style tea house—you can drink traditional tea while reading, and even book a yoga class. Pretty cool, right? 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, North Li, Qianhai Inli, Nanshan District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Railway Park Station, Exit A/B, accessible right after exiting the station ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (study room requires reservation) 📸 Photo tips: Taking a full-body shot in the middle of the spiral corridor creates the best sense of depth. Visit on a rainy day for a surprise—the voice-activated installation projects light and poetry based on the intensity of the rain. · -- Shenzhen Library North Branch: A high-tech book repository hiding a "space elevator" This library, which only opened at the end of 2023, made a big splash right from the start: an 18-meter-high "space elevator" leads directly to a massive underground book repository that can hold over 4 million physical books. With its sci-fi blue book bins and industrial-style steel frames, you might feel like you've stepped onto an interstellar spaceship. ⚠️ Important reminder: The underground repository is only open on weekends, with 2 sessions per day, limited to 10 people per session. You must book tickets in advance via the "Shenzhen Library" official WeChat account. 📍 Address: Longhua District (near Hongshan Station) 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4/6, Hongshan Station, Exit A1, about a 200-meter walk 📸 Photo tips: The "space elevator" is visually stunning, but spots are very limited, so remember to set an alarm to book your reservation! · -- Niche hidden gems: Soulful bookstores hidden in corners If you don't like crowds, these shops are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon: 📚 Old Heaven Books: The "white moonlight" in the hearts of Shenzhen's literary youth, hidden in the OCT Creative Park. It specializes in niche humanities books and independent music records, and occasionally hosts literary salons and mini-concerts. It's not an influencer spot, but a true "soulful bookstore." 📚 Tsukishima Bookstore: "No entry for those under 16"—just for this rule alone, this bookstore located in an urban village is a winner. The books don't follow the bestseller route; it specializes in works from niche countries like Portugal and Zimbabwe, and it's as quiet as another world. 📚 Ozu Concept Bookstore: Hidden downstairs in a residential building in Jingtian. The owner is a movie buff, and most of the books in the shop are film-related. They screen independent films every night at 8:00 PM, and you can watch them while petting cats—a paradise for literary youth. 📚 Mi Bookstore (Luohu Yitian Store): The "most beautiful bookstore in China" that opened in December 2025. The four 10-meter-high giant book walls look like a city of knowledge, with aerial bridges winding through. It houses tens of thousands of books and also offers coffee and creative merchandise. 📚 Shenzhen Book City 24-Hour Bookstore: The first truly 24-hour bookstore in mainland China. It has been open since 2006, and no matter what time it is in the middle of the night, the lights are on, accompanying countless people through nights of studying, working overtime, or insomnia. The newly opened Yiwen Bookstore next door specializes in original foreign language books, with a red, yellow, and blue color-block design that looks like a colorful box, and you can even buy Jellycat plushies there. · -- When looking for the most beautiful bookstores in Shenzhen, don't just look at influencer photos; follow your own interests and dive in—some will amaze you with their design, some will calm you with their atmosphere, and some will accompany you through long nights with their late-night lights. This city is young, inclusive, and full of imagination. The most beautiful reading spaces are hidden in those corners you'd never expect, waiting for you to discover them.Henry#Harris176- Concrete Jungle at the Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Get ready for an urban adventure at Hong Kong’s iconic Monster Building -a sprawling 1960s apartment complex, now a city symbol thanks to blockbuster films and social media fame!

Zhuhai Family Vacation | This Is All You Need for Mid-Autumn Festival & National Day
Traveling with kids is usually exhausting. This time, I chose the Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort Sail Hotel, and once we checked in, I realized that a vacation can actually be this worry-free. The hotel lobby is incredibly high and bright. As soon as my kid walked in, they ran off to look at the sea, muttering, "It's so big!" The room has great natural light, and the bathtub is huge—taking a bath at night 🛀 washes away all the fatigue of the day. The infinity pool downstairs connects to a large lawn. My kid was running wild barefoot on the grass while I just relaxed on a chair—it was so cozy. After facial recognition, you can freely enter Mystery Island, the Ocean Hot Spring, the Petting Zoo, and the Dream Theater without needing tickets or waiting in line. My kid went crazy for the Larva theme area—when the sky bus went through the rainbow tunnel, they laughed with excitement, and I was chasing behind taking photos; every shot looked like a professional picture. They rode the track ride 3 times and still didn't want to leave. Feeding the alpacas and petting the rabbits was the same; they just squatted there talking to the little animals, and I couldn't even pull them away. In the evening, we went to the Ocean Hot Spring. Soaking in the pool while watching the sunset over the sea, with the sky changing from blue to orange and then to pink, everything went quiet. In that moment, I felt like the exhaustion of parenting didn't seem so heavy anymore. The next day, we slept in and had a buffet breakfast with a sea view. With 270-degree sea view seating, my kid munched on a croissant while I drank coffee—no one was rushing anyone. Here’s the most practical part: The Little Sailor Club offers half-day free childcare, so parents can actually take a breather. My eyes lit up when I heard that. There are free shuttle buses in the resort, so you don't have to walk. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, there's also a Harvest Festival, with parades, bands, and markets. It's a one-stop vacation spot, and my son said he wants to come back next time! Traveling with kids is usually exhausting.

Hulun Lake | I can't believe there's a sea hidden at the end of the grasslands
Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video. There are no crowded tourists, and you can get a full, panoramic view of this lake that looks just like the ocean. How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in. There is usually a contact number at the pasture entrance. Communicate with the herdsmen in advance, pay a small entrance fee, and get permission before entering. 🚗Transportation: Must drive yourself / charter a car; there is no public transportation. Mostly dirt roads, so an SUV is preferred. Be cautious with small cars, as they can easily get stuck in the mud on rainy days. ㅤ Best time: Sunset🌅 Arrive 2 hours before sunset. The sunlight turns a warm gold, the lake surface takes on an orange hue, the contours of the cliffs are most defined, and the silhouettes of the cattle and sheep are stunning. After sunset, there are still a few minutes of the "blue hour," which is perfect for drone shots to create an incredible atmosphere. ㅤ I am Xiaji🔆, a working professional who recharges through travel~ For more Inner Mongolia travel guides, feel free to follow me! Head to Hulun Lake at sunset At the end of the grasslands, there really is a sea~ On one side, the vast and magnificent cliffs overlooking the lake; On the other, the gentle tranquility of the lake, cattle, and sheep🐮 When the wind blows from the lake, all fatigue just melts away~ ㅤ 📍Location: Private pasture on the west bank of Hulun Lake (cliff viewpoint) Large stretches of pristine grassland reach right to the lake's edge, with cliffs along the shore and cattle and sheep scattered by the water—this is the scenery captured in the video. There are no crowded tourists, and you can get a full, panoramic view of this lake that looks just like the ocean. How to get there❓ 🔖Direction: From Manzhouli towards Jalainur, along the west bank of Hulun Lake. ⚠Important: This is a private pasture and belongs to the herdsmen; you cannot just drive in. There is usually a contact number at the pasture entrance. Communicate with the herdsmen in advance, pay a small entrance fee, and get permission before entering. 🚗Transportation: Must drive yourself / charter a car; there is no public transportation. Mostly dirt roads, so an SUV is preferred. Be cautious with small cars, as they can easily get stuck in the mud on rainy days. ㅤ Best time: Sunset🌅 Arrive 2 hours before sunset.

Who gets it?! I've discovered a hidden romantic sea of flowers in the Yangtze River Delta region✨ The Rose Valley in Yancheng, Changzhou, perfectly captures the gentleness of early summer! The entire valley is blanketed in 100,000 roses, with blooming flowers covering the mountains and plains🌹 It's rich and healing—definitely not just a few scattered flowers! Roses in deep red, peach, creamy white, soft champagne, and vintage caramel colors grow intertwined. Layers of colorful flowers spread along the valley, creating an incredible atmosphere! Winding wooden boardwalks are tightly wrapped in rose vines. Flower arches are everywhere; walking through them feels like stepping into a fairy-tale garden💐 A gentle breeze blows, bringing the scent of flowers—it's so lovely you won't want to leave! There are so many photo spots in the park; every shot is a stunning photo📸 Pure white flower windmills, swings and benches in the woods, and healing flower paths by the stream. There's also a valley viewing platform with a stunning view—every corner is perfect for photos! I highly recommend wearing a light-colored dress or Hanfu when you visit. Surrounded by the sea of flowers, even unedited photos look like stunning blockbusters! The location is perfect for a short getaway! It's about a 1.5-hour drive from Shanghai or Nanjing. The scenic area has a large free parking lot, making it super convenient for those driving. For those who don't want to drive, take the high-speed train to downtown Changzhou and transfer to the tourist shuttle—it's super convenient! Here are some practical tips I've gathered for your visit✅ Be sure to wear sunscreen and a sun hat. Since there's a lot of greenery in the valley, remember to bring mosquito repellent. This beautiful scenery is hard to maintain, so please be a respectful visitor and do not pick the flowers. I recommend booking your tickets online in advance; it's more cost-effective than buying them on-site. There are no hidden costs or mandatory fees, so you can enjoy your visit with peace of mind! You don't have to travel far to unlock the romance of an immersive rose valley. While the flowers are in full bloom, grab your friends and family and come check it out✨ The gentle flower sea of early summer is truly worth the trip!lincoln_peregrine_hawke6-

The giant teacup installation is full of atmosphere; write an autumn letter here, collect landscape bookmarks, light-and-shadow postcards, and exclusive planter cups, and check in at the themed art wall. Each stamp captures a gentle moment of autumn in Qiandao. Reach the top of the observation deck to take in the panoramic view of the scattered islands and the lake merging with the sky. Next, let's move on to the tranquil Moonlight Island. Stroll along the water with the breeze on your face and unlock another, gentler and quieter side of Qiandao Lake. Climb high to take in the mountains and rivers, and slow down to savor the autumn mood. Collect light and shadows, preserve the gentleness between the lake and mountains, and embark on a romantic rendezvous with Qiandao Lake that lives up to the autumn and the landscape.FLYNN SANTIAGO1 Stay Near Changbai Mountain North Slope | This B&B Makes Travel Easy

It is truly a place to slow down and not rush. During the event, the excitement is overwhelming.

🚌【Transportation Guide】 If you're coming to Datong in September, honestly, taking the high-speed train to Datong South Station is the easiest way. The tourist shuttle bus parking lot is 50 meters west of the exit. Direct buses to Yungang Grottoes run every 20 minutes, cost only CNY 10 one way, and get you there in 40 minutes. The return trip also stops at the Ancient City and Datong Museum—a dream for lazy travelers 🎉. Coming from Datong Station isn't too bad either; you can take bus line 4 and transfer to line 3 to get to Yungang, though it takes longer. If you're in a rush, I wouldn't recommend this hassle. If you want to visit the Hanging Temple, take my advice: the straight-line distance from Yungang to the Hanging Temple isn't far, but taking public transport will take nearly 4 hours, which is really painful 😅. Just buy tickets on the "Datong Tourist Shuttle" mini-program. It's CNY 39/person from Yungang to the Hanging Temple. Grab a window seat on the right side to get a panoramic view of the Hanging Temple—book fast before they're gone. 🎫【Ticket Reservation】 Yungang Grottoes admission is CNY 120 (peak season price), CNY 60 for students, and free for those 60 and older. You must make a real-name reservation in advance via Trip.com or the "Yungang Grottoes Culture and Tourism" mini-program; tickets are usually not sold on the day of. Open from 7:30 AM–6:00 PM. I recommend getting there before 8:00 AM, or once the tour groups arrive, your experience seeing the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 will be ruined 💔. Hanging Temple climbing tickets are CNY 100 + CNY 15 for park admission. Climbing tickets are limited, so be sure to book in advance, or you'll only be able to view it from afar, which is truly frustrating. Huayan Temple is CNY 50, Shanhuasi Temple is free but requires a reservation, and the Ancient City Wall and Datong Museum also require free reservations for entry. 🍜【Local Food Recommendations】 You won't know what "carb heaven" is until you get to Datong. These are the spots I've personally tested and can recommend 👇 🥢 Xijindao Sliced Noodles: Meat sauce with braised tofu combo—one bite and your soul is restored 🥟 Longjuxiang Shaomai: Paper-thin wrappers, lamb filling that bursts with juice 🍯 Zini 369 Coarse Grains: Chilled yellow rice cake with osmanthus honey—sweet but not cloying 🌶️ Xiaoxifu Jelly Noodles: Served with fried chili—absolutely amazing 🍖 Panglailai Rabbit Head: Pair with Datong beer—spicy and addictive 🍲 Kaige Restaurant: Copper hot pot + oil-fried meat + sea buckthorn juice—understand Datong cuisine in one meal 📸【Photo Spots】 In front of the open-air Buddha at Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes, get close and use a wide-angle lens to capture both the Buddha's face and the mountain—it's incredibly stunning 📷 Shoot at the Lingyan Temple reflection pool around 3:00 PM; the reflection in the water is breathtaking The light in front of the Mahavira Hall at Huayan Temple is softest after 4:00 PM. Wear Hanfu for photos and you'll feel like you've traveled back to the Liao and Jin dynasties Get on the wall at the South Gate of the Datong Ancient City Wall at 6:30 PM. Stand by the parapet with your back to the city at sunset for beautiful silhouettes For the night view of the Ancient City Wall, after the lights come on at 7:30 PM, use a long exposure to capture the reflection of the city gate and the moat—every shot is a masterpiece 🌃 🗺️【Detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: Huayan Temple → Shanhuasi Temple → Cycling on the Ancient City Wall to watch the sunset → Late-night snacks on the Ancient Street. Enter Huayan Temple at 4:00 PM for the best light, then visit Shanhuasi Temple. Get on the wall at 6:30 PM to rent a bike, and get goosebumps the moment the lights turn on at 7:30 PM. Day 2️⃣: In-depth one-day tour of Yungang Grottoes. Rush in at 8:00 AM: Tanyao Square → Lingyan Temple → Cave 20 → walk back to Caves 5/6. Hire an official guide for CNY 168 (includes return battery car), otherwise you'll just be staring at rocks and won't know what you're looking at 😂. Head to the Lingyan Temple reflection pool at 3:00 PM for more photos. Day 3️⃣: Hanging Temple → Mount Heng (Northern Hengshan) → Departure. The shuttle bus leaves in the morning. Go to the Hanging Temple early to avoid crowds; climbing it is worth the trip. Take the cable car up Mount Heng to save energy, then take the shuttle bus back to the Ancient City after coming down. ⚠️【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 In September, Datong is over 20°C during the day, but only around 9°C in the morning and evening. You must bring a light jacket, or you'll know what suffering is once you stand on the city wall 🥶 Food inside the scenic areas is expensive and mediocre. Pack some water and snacks in your bag, don't be like me and regret it Shared e-bikes in the Ancient City are CNY 5 for 30 minutes—10,000 times more comfortable than walking Climbing tickets for the Hanging Temple are limited. If you don't book in advance, you can only view it from afar—I don't want you to experience that frustration Flash photography and drones are strictly prohibited inside Yungang. Don't break the rules on purpose I don't recommend wearing high heels to visit Yungang; the stone steps and uneven roads will make you question your life choices 👠❌ September is the most beautiful season in Datong—crisp autumn air and fewer crowds. Go before the National Day holiday. Booking hotels and tickets together on Trip.com is more cost-effective 💕MARIANNA WILLIAMSON7Shenzhen's most beautiful bookstores
People often call Shenzhen the "city of hustlers," but if you only come here for the office buildings and tech parks, you're really missing out. The most charming side of this immigrant city is hidden in bookstores that turn architectural design into an art form—some look like they're straight out of "Inception," others hide "space elevators," and some let you read and daydream between the mountains and the sea. Today, we'll dive into these incredible bookstores for a double baptism of the visual and the soul. · -- Zhongshuge (Harbour Bay Store): The magical world of red spiral bookshelves The "top influencer" of Shenzhen's bookstore scene, it's truly the ceiling of aesthetics. The moment you push open the door, you'll likely gasp—the 11-meter-high red spiral bookshelves wind upward like a DNA double helix. Reflected by the mirrored ceiling, the entire space extends infinitely, as if you've fallen into a universe of books. Covering 1,100 square meters with about 45,000 books, the design hides a secret: the bookshelf cross-sections are vintage clock faces, and the handrails are shaped like clock hands, symbolizing the "ladder of history, pushed forward rapidly by time in the city." 📍 Address: L1-021, East Bank, Harbour Bay, Bao'an District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Linhai Station, Exit B2, about a 6-minute walk ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM 📸 Photo tips: We recommend going on a weekday morning; it's less crowded and great for photos. Use a wide-angle lens in the middle of the spiral bookshelves for the most stunning shots. · -- Yuxin Bookstore (Qianhai Inli Store): Entering the mirror tunnel of "Inception" If Zhongshuge is a red rhapsody, then Yuxin Bookstore is cool sci-fi. The mirrored light corridor at the entrance features reflective materials on both the ceiling and floor, with curved book walls layered upon each other. Walking inside really feels like traveling through the dream tunnel from "Inception." The central circular book tower displays over 20,000 selected books. The bookstore also includes a study room, a yoga studio, and a new Chinese-style tea house—you can drink traditional tea while reading, and even book a yoga class. Pretty cool, right? 📍 Address: 2nd Floor, North Li, Qianhai Inli, Nanshan District 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 5, Railway Park Station, Exit A/B, accessible right after exiting the station ⏰ Business hours: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (study room requires reservation) 📸 Photo tips: Taking a full-body shot in the middle of the spiral corridor creates the best sense of depth. Visit on a rainy day for a surprise—the voice-activated installation projects light and poetry based on the intensity of the rain. · -- Shenzhen Library North Branch: A high-tech book repository hiding a "space elevator" This library, which only opened at the end of 2023, made a big splash right from the start: an 18-meter-high "space elevator" leads directly to a massive underground book repository that can hold over 4 million physical books. With its sci-fi blue book bins and industrial-style steel frames, you might feel like you've stepped onto an interstellar spaceship. ⚠️ Important reminder: The underground repository is only open on weekends, with 2 sessions per day, limited to 10 people per session. You must book tickets in advance via the "Shenzhen Library" official WeChat account. 📍 Address: Longhua District (near Hongshan Station) 🚇 Transportation: Metro Line 4/6, Hongshan Station, Exit A1, about a 200-meter walk 📸 Photo tips: The "space elevator" is visually stunning, but spots are very limited, so remember to set an alarm to book your reservation! · -- Niche hidden gems: Soulful bookstores hidden in corners If you don't like crowds, these shops are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon: 📚 Old Heaven Books: The "white moonlight" in the hearts of Shenzhen's literary youth, hidden in the OCT Creative Park. It specializes in niche humanities books and independent music records, and occasionally hosts literary salons and mini-concerts. It's not an influencer spot, but a true "soulful bookstore." 📚 Tsukishima Bookstore: "No entry for those under 16"—just for this rule alone, this bookstore located in an urban village is a winner. The books don't follow the bestseller route; it specializes in works from niche countries like Portugal and Zimbabwe, and it's as quiet as another world. 📚 Ozu Concept Bookstore: Hidden downstairs in a residential building in Jingtian. The owner is a movie buff, and most of the books in the shop are film-related. They screen independent films every night at 8:00 PM, and you can watch them while petting cats—a paradise for literary youth. 📚 Mi Bookstore (Luohu Yitian Store): The "most beautiful bookstore in China" that opened in December 2025. The four 10-meter-high giant book walls look like a city of knowledge, with aerial bridges winding through. It houses tens of thousands of books and also offers coffee and creative merchandise. 📚 Shenzhen Book City 24-Hour Bookstore: The first truly 24-hour bookstore in mainland China. It has been open since 2006, and no matter what time it is in the middle of the night, the lights are on, accompanying countless people through nights of studying, working overtime, or insomnia. The newly opened Yiwen Bookstore next door specializes in original foreign language books, with a red, yellow, and blue color-block design that looks like a colorful box, and you can even buy Jellycat plushies there. · -- When looking for the most beautiful bookstores in Shenzhen, don't just look at influencer photos; follow your own interests and dive in—some will amaze you with their design, some will calm you with their atmosphere, and some will accompany you through long nights with their late-night lights. This city is young, inclusive, and full of imagination. The most beautiful reading spaces are hidden in those corners you'd never expect, waiting for you to discover them.Henry#Harris176- Concrete Jungle at the Monster Building 🏙️🦖 Get ready for an urban adventure at Hong Kong’s iconic Monster Building -a sprawling 1960s apartment complex, now a city symbol thanks to blockbuster films and social media fame!

Zhuhai Family Vacation | This Is All You Need for Mid-Autumn Festival & National Day
Traveling with kids is usually exhausting. This time, I chose the Zhuhai Ocean Spring Resort Sail Hotel, and once we checked in, I realized that a vacation can actually be this worry-free. The hotel lobby is incredibly high and bright. As soon as my kid walked in, they ran off to look at the sea, muttering, "It's so big!" The room has great natural light, and the bathtub is huge—taking a bath at night 🛀 washes away all the fatigue of the day. The infinity pool downstairs connects to a large lawn. My kid was running wild barefoot on the grass while I just relaxed on a chair—it was so cozy. After facial recognition, you can freely enter Mystery Island, the Ocean Hot Spring, the Petting Zoo, and the Dream Theater without needing tickets or waiting in line. My kid went crazy for the Larva theme area—when the sky bus went through the rainbow tunnel, they laughed with excitement, and I was chasing behind taking photos; every shot looked like a professional picture. They rode the track ride 3 times and still didn't want to leave. Feeding the alpacas and petting the rabbits was the same; they just squatted there talking to the little animals, and I couldn't even pull them away. In the evening, we went to the Ocean Hot Spring. Soaking in the pool while watching the sunset over the sea, with the sky changing from blue to orange and then to pink, everything went quiet. In that moment, I felt like the exhaustion of parenting didn't seem so heavy anymore. The next day, we slept in and had a buffet breakfast with a sea view. With 270-degree sea view seating, my kid munched on a croissant while I drank coffee—no one was rushing anyone. Here’s the most practical part: The Little Sailor Club offers half-day free childcare, so parents can actually take a breather. My eyes lit up when I heard that. There are free shuttle buses in the resort, so you don't have to walk. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, there's also a Harvest Festival, with parades, bands, and markets. It's a one-stop vacation spot, and my son said he wants to come back next time! Traveling with kids is usually exhausting.

A Lingnan garden hidden in the heart of the city Winding paths, waterside pavilions, and the faint scent of orchids~ A wall separates it from the city's hustle and bustle, leaving only the wind and greenery inside. In this fast-paced city, steal a moment of slow, quiet time. The atmosphere is even better on a rainy day; watching the flowing water and swimming fish is incredibly relaxing~ 📍 Guangzhou Lanpu 🚇 Line 2, Yuexiu Park Station, Exit B 🕰️ 8:00 AM–6:00 PM (Last entry at 5:30 PM) 💰 8 📷 Photo spots Huacheng Study - p1 Fanghua Garden - p3–4 South Gate 1 entrance - p15 Chunguang Pavilion - p7–8 Mexican bald cypress - p13 The park isn't large, but it's full of hidden details, so it's easy to miss the beautiful scenery~ No need to rush your itinerary; just take your time and stroll around. Daydream, take photos, and escape the city's restlessness~InternationalJetsetter#994
