Who gets it, fam! San Francisco hides a "candy jar spilled by God"! A former dump turned into one of the world's top ten most beautiful beaches, walking on sand full of rainbow glass stones, even the sea breeze carries a romantic filter. It's a quiet spot without crowds, perfect for photos that will have everyone asking for the location~ A complete guide is ready, just go for it without any worries! 📍【Address】 Fort Bragg, California, USA. Exact location: 398 W Elm St, Fort Bragg, CA 95437. The main photo spot is at the end of the Glass Beach Trail inside MacKerricher State Park. Just follow the signs to find it~ 🚗【Transportation】 - Best for self-driving: Head north from San Francisco along Highway 1, about a 3.5-hour drive. The coastal views are so beautiful you'll want to stop and take photos often. Parking is free and spacious. - Public transport: No direct bus! It's recommended to join a niche day tour, or take a train to Fort Bragg town first, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. Not very convenient for lazy travelers. - Caution: Never return alone at dusk! Some parts of Highway 1 have many curves and poor visibility at night. Safety first~ 💎【Highlights】 - Rainbow glass stone wonder: Who would have thought this was once a dump! Waves have polished the broken glass for decades into smooth colorful stones in green, blue, silver, orange, and red. When wet, they look like scattered jewels sparkling under the sun. - Best photo spots: Cliff trail panoramic shots with glass stones and turquoise waves in one frame; tidal pools at low tide reflecting the glass stones like a fairy tale; head north to find the hidden Old Haul Road Beach, less crowded and even more photogenic. - Nearby extras: Visit the Ocean Glass Museum to see various glass artworks; ride the Skunk Train through redwood forests; or charter a boat in Noyo Bay for whale watching. A full day of activities! 🍴【Food Recommendations】 - North Coast Brewing Company Taproom & Grill: Classic American burgers with craft beer, window seats with bay views, fries crispy outside and tender inside dipped in cheese sauce are amazing. - Egghead Restaurant: A must for breakfast! Eggs Benedict with runny yolk, served with whole wheat toast and fresh orange juice, great value and filling, perfect before heading to the beach. - La Playa Mexican Restaurant: Tangy and spicy tacos with avocado salad, portions so big one is enough for two, refreshing and appetizing. - Lazy option: Buy sandwiches, fruit, and soda at the town supermarket and picnic on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze and great photo vibes. 💡【Helpful Tips】 1. Outfit suggestion: Light-colored long dress + straw hat to contrast with the rainbow glass stones, doubling your photo appeal. Avoid dark colors—they blend into the background. 2. Best photo times: One hour after sunrise or two hours before sunset for soft, non-harsh light. The glass stones’ colors pop and you can avoid crowds. 3. Must-bring gear: Non-slip sneakers (there are rocks on the beach, no barefoot!), mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and preferably a bottle of water since shops nearby are scarce. 4. Important reminder: Do not take any glass stones! There are warning signs on site, and violators will be fined. Let’s keep this beauty preserved. 5. Pet friendly: Dogs are welcome, just keep them on a leash and make sure they don’t step on the glass stones. This transformed Glass Beach is truly healing with its beauty! Quiet and uncrowded, perfect for couples, friends taking photos, or solo relaxation~

Discovered this magical spot in the Blue Ridge Mountains! The cluster of log cabins here practically embeds wilderness romance into the architecture. Each one boasts a rugged texture of stone and logs, set against a backdrop of mountains, lakes, and forests. Opening the window in the morning, you're surrounded by negative oxygen ions, feeling like your soul has been cleansed! Travel Guide Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. It's a 2-hour drive from Charlotte along the Blue Ridge Parkway. For accommodation, choose local specialties. Key Attractions Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls, Mirror Lake Cabin Cluster, Buck Creek Nature Preserve. Special Experiences Go berry picking in the mountains with locals, grill ribs on the cabin terrace and watch the sunset, kayak around Mirror Lake. Itinerary Reference Day 1: Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and take stunning wilderness photos; Day 2: Visit waterfalls + experience cabin life; Day 3: Lake activities + wilderness hiking. Tips The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is significant, so bring a windbreaker; most B&Bs do not provide disposable toiletries, remember to bring your own. This place isn't the assembly-line beauty of an influencer hotspot; it's the kind of healing vibe that allows you to slow down. Hey everyone, does this kind of wilderness cabin getaway resonate with you? Let's chat in the comments about who you'd most like to come with~

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

#skitrip My experience at a Midwest ski resort was relaxed, welcoming, and more enjoyable than many people expect. While the terrain is smaller compared to western mountains, the slopes are well groomed and perfect for beginners and intermediate skiers. I liked how easy everything felt—from quick parking and short lift lines to efficient rentals and helpful staff. Snowmaking plays a big role here, and it keeps the conditions consistent even when natural snowfall is limited. The atmosphere is laid-back and family-friendly, which makes it a great place to practice skills without pressure or crowds. What stood out most was how approachable skiing feels in the Midwest. Lessons are affordable, instructors are patient, and the runs are designed to build confidence step by step. Night skiing adds extra value and flexibility, especially for those with busy schedules. The resort may not offer dramatic peaks, but it delivers reliable fun and convenience. Dress very warmly—Midwest winters can be extremely cold. Visit on weekdays for fewer crowds. Take advantage of lessons to improve technique. Midwest ski resorts are ideal for learning, practicing, and enjoying skiing close to home.

The moment I arrived in Las Vegas, the city's dazzling lights instantly ignited my spirits. From the gem-like night view from the plane to the dreamy lights of the New York-New York Hotel and the Paris Eiffel Tower on the bustling streets, every moment was mesmerizing. Dinner at Gordon Ramsay Burger with a super juicy burger conquered my taste buds instantly! The highlight of this trip was, of course, Zhou Shen's 9.29Hz World Tour concert, an ultimate feast for the taste buds and ears. Looking forward to more exciting moments!
