Tasmania was one of those places that completely changed my idea of Australia. Before visiting, I imagined it would mainly be about mountains and wildlife, but once I arrived, I discovered a much more diverse landscape—rugged coastlines, crystal-clear beaches, dramatic mountains, peaceful lakes and charming little towns. What I loved most was how untouched many parts of Tasmania felt. I started my journey in Hobart, where I enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere and explored the city's historic streets. Compared with Melbourne and Sydney, Hobart felt much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted after spending time in bigger cities. From Hobart, I headed out to explore Tasmania's incredible natural scenery. 🌊 Freycinet National Park One of my favorite places was Freycinet National Park. The first time I saw Wineglass Bay from the lookout, I honestly couldn't believe the colors. The curved white beach, turquoise water and surrounding mountains created one of the most beautiful coastal views I've experienced in Australia. The hike to the lookout wasn't particularly long, but I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes and taking your time. I stayed at the viewpoint longer than expected because the scenery kept changing as the sunlight moved across the bay. 🏔️ Cradle Mountain Another highlight was Cradle Mountain. The landscape here felt completely different from the coastline. There were alpine trails, ancient forests, rocky peaks and peaceful lakes. Even though the weather changed quickly, that actually made the scenery feel even more dramatic. I remember standing beside Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. The water was incredibly calm, and for a few minutes there was almost complete silence. That was one of those travel moments that photographs simply can't fully capture. 🐧 Wildlife & Wild Coastlines Tasmania also surprised me with its wildlife. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter wallabies, wombats, echidnas and even little penguins. Seeing wildlife in a natural environment rather than behind glass was one of the experiences I appreciated most. The coastline was another highlight. Places like Bay of Fires offered completely different scenery again, with white sand, clear blue water and striking orange-red rocks along the coast. 📍 My Tasmania Travel Tips 🚗 Rent a car if possible. Tasmania is much easier to explore independently, especially if you want to visit national parks and remote coastal areas. 🥾 Bring proper hiking shoes. Even shorter trails can become muddy or slippery depending on the weather. 🌦️ Always check the weather before hiking. Conditions can change quickly, especially around Cradle Mountain. 🧥 Pack layers. Even during warmer months, mornings and evenings can feel surprisingly cold. 📸 Allow extra time for photography. Tasmania is full of unexpected viewpoints, and rushing between attractions would be a shame. 🦘 Drive carefully at dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be active around roads, particularly outside the main towns. 🗺️ Don't try to see everything in a short trip. Tasmania looks manageable on a map, but driving between different regions takes time. ❤️ My Experience What stayed with me most about Tasmania wasn't one particular attraction. It was the feeling of space. There were moments when I was driving through empty roads with mountains in the distance, stopping beside a lake with nobody around, or standing on a beach listening to nothing but the waves. Tasmania felt slower, quieter and more raw than many other places I'd visited in Australia. If you're looking for a destination where you can combine road trips, hiking, wildlife, mountains, beaches and incredible scenery, Tasmania is somewhere I'd definitely recommend. And if you have enough time, don't rush it. Tasmania is a place to explore slowly. 🚗 Tasmania Quick Guide 📍 Main Gateway: Hobart / Launceston

Why do people avoid the Blue Mountains in Sydney? (Just curious, no offense) If you have to compare the Blue Mountains with the Three Mountains and Five Great Mountains in China, there’s absolutely no comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But in Australia, the Blue Mountains are a landmark attraction of Sydney! The air quality is excellent, known as a natural oxygen bar! After visiting, I just want to say: Tell Sydney, I’m not coming back 😉 But if you don’t plan well, you won’t understand how to enjoy the cable cars + forest walkways! . 🕳️Here are some of the easiest pitfalls to fall into👇 ❌ Trap 1: Not checking the weather in advance! On rainy or overcast days, the Three Sisters disappear, and your photo plans are ruined ❌ Trap 2: Not studying the routes, guessing how to connect the three types of cable cars ❌ Trap 3: Poor time planning, waiting in line until you lose your mind . ⭐【How to get there】 🚗 Self-driving: Park for free at Scenic Skyway Parking, the entrance and ticket office are right outside the parking lot 🚌 For those without a car, day tours: daily departures, book in advance near holidays . 🚡【How to enjoy the three cable cars + forest walkways❓】 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway Panoramic glass cabins, crossing the valley 270m high, with a full view of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls! On sunny days, the whole canyon is covered by a light blue mist 🔴 Scenic Railway One of the steepest forest railways in the world, plunging down the mountain at a 52° angle. Although not fast, the feeling of being “pulled into the rainforest” is thrilling 🔵 Cableway A super large cable car that can hold many people! Staff provide fun and humorous commentary about the surrounding scenery 🌳 Walkway Stroll through the rainforest 🚶 The entire path is a wooden boardwalk, very flat, suitable for kids and strollers! There are also displays of minerals and coal Ps. All cable cars can be ridden unlimited times, just queue again each time you return . 🗺【Recommended order of play】 🔴 Scenic Railway → 🟢 Rainforest Walkway → 🔵 Cableway → 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway; if you like mountain views, choose the shortest Walkway route, then quickly take the 🔵 Cableway to the visitor center to switch to the 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway

📍SAVE $$$ - all the info here 👇🏼 This was such a fun day in Blue Mountains. Our mission was to spend under $50 which is SO doable considering there is so much to see and do for free, but ended up spending a little extra and it was totally worth it - you’ll see why 👀 🏠 Base yourself at the YHA Blue Mountains. It’s super comfy, affordable and right in town, making it the perfect place to stay. Morning: 🥾 Grand Canyon Hike 6.5km loop, allow 2-3 hours to really enjoy it! Brunch: 🥐 Black Cockatoo bakery Some of the most delicious pastries and coffee. The chocolate croissant was SO good 🤤 Afternoon: 🚂 Scenic World Home to the world’s steepest railway! There’s lots to see and explore, and epic views of the Three Sisters! Sunset: 🌅 Cahill’s Lookout A stunning lookout to watch the sun go down.

Perth's jacarandas are truly on par with Sydney's! The jacaranda blooming season in Perth is slightly later than in Sydney~ When Sydney's flowers start to fade, Perth's are just beginning to bloom. The pink sunset + jacarandas are so beautiful! . Perth rarely rains because of its good weather, so the flowering period tends to last longer~ . There are too many people taking photos under Sydney's beautiful jacarandas, but Perth is quieter (more secluded), so the jacarandas are much more peaceful and undisturbed for now. The photos were taken yesterday evening 📍Strickland Street 📍Tain Street

Every time I check out travel guides for Tasmania, someone always says: "You must self-drive in Tasmania." But if you only have six days and it's your first visit, I actually recommend leaving the driving to someone else. It's not about the difficulty of driving. It's because some of Tasmania's most precious experiences aren't at the destinations, but along the journey. 🌿 1️⃣ Many of Tasmania's scenic views are actually outside the car window. From Hobart heading north, you'll pass through forests, highways, coastlines, and quiet little towns. The most enjoyable moments are when you see a place you like, stop to take a few photos, or simply sit quietly and admire the view outside. If you're driving yourself, your attention will constantly be on speed limits, curves, and navigation. Many beautiful sights will be missed. 🦘 2️⃣ Driving at night in winter requires more caution than you might think. Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife. Especially at dusk, kangaroos and wombats are more likely to come out and roam. Many first-time visitors try to avoid driving at night—not because the roads are difficult, but because you need to stay alert for animals that might suddenly dart out from the roadside. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Staying tense the whole time can take away from the joy of the trip. ☕ 3️⃣ The exhaustion isn't just behind the wheel, but also at the end of the day. For trips like Maria Island, you'll spend most of the day hiking. If you then have to drive for several hours to get back to your hotel, you'll likely be too drained to enjoy the evening. The next day, heading to Cradle Mountain might feel more like ticking off a checklist than truly enjoying the experience. On the other hand, if you can nap in the car and wake up at the next destination, the pace feels much more comfortable. That's why, when planning routes, we always avoid cramming too much driving into the schedule. For a first visit to Tasmania, it's more important to dedicate time to the scenery rather than constantly focusing on navigation. Save your energy for the experiences that truly matter.

When city light pollution obscures the starry sky, a child's childhood loses a vast realm of imagination. This winter, I took my child to a place known as "China's Most Beautiful Starry Sky" — Bayinbuluke. This is not just a grassland but also an international dark sky park. In winter, the extreme cold brings crystal-clear skies, with the Milky Way stretching across the horizon, seemingly within reach. 🌌 Why is winter the best season for stargazing? Clear air: Cold air sinks, reducing moisture and dust in the atmosphere, making the starry sky exceptionally clear and bright. Long nights: Early sunsets mean stars appear earlier, so kids don’t have to stay up too late. Visible Milky Way core: Although the Milky Way is less dazzling in winter than in summer, winter constellations are bright, the starry sky is equally splendid, and classic celestial bodies like Orion and the Pleiades are easier to observe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Beginner’s guide to family stargazing (even with zero experience) Don’t worry if you don’t know astronomy; this is a perfect opportunity for early education. Preparation (knowledge introduction): · Download star map apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Guide to identify constellations just by pointing your phone. · Tell your child one or two Greek mythology stories about constellations to make it more fun. On-site activities: Connect the stars: Use a star pointer (be careful not to shine it in others’ eyes or at airplanes) or a laser pointer to "draw" constellations in the sky with your child. Find the brightest star: Compete to see who spots Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky) or Mars (the red planet) first. Wish on shooting stars: Winter sometimes brings the Quadrantids meteor shower, and even on regular nights, random meteors are easy to spot under a pure night sky. 📍 Stargazing locations and practical tips Best spots: Near your hotel or guesthouse, just find an open area away from streetlights. The Jiǔqū Shíbāwān (Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns) viewing platform is top-notch but closed at night. Safety first—no need to venture into dangerous places. Timing: About 1.5 hours after sunset when the sky is fully dark is the best time to start. Observe for about an hour, watch your child’s comfort level, and return indoors as needed. Warmth strategy (nighttime upgrade): In addition to the gear mentioned in the fifth article, add: Thick-soled snow boots: Keeping feet warm is key for endurance. Sit-able moisture-proof mat: Blocks ground cold and makes sitting while looking up comfortable. Headlamp (red light mode): Red light minimally affects vision, convenient for moving around without ruining night vision. 📸 Simple family star photography tutorial Want to capture the memory? A smartphone is enough. Phone settings: · Use professional mode or download apps like NightCap. · Suggested settings: ISO at maximum (3200 or 6400), shutter speed 15-30 seconds, focus set to infinity. · Always use a tripod! This is crucial for success. · Use a headphone cable or Bluetooth remote as a shutter to avoid shaking from pressing the button. Creative shots: Let kids "paint with light" on the snow using a flashlight, or take family silhouette photos with the starry sky as the backdrop—heartwarming and unforgettable. 🛏️ Warm basecamp: Recommended stargazing hotels A place to quickly warm up in the cold is essential: Bayinbuluke Tianhe Source Hotel: Some rooms offer wide views and ample heating. Bayinbuluke Grassland Pearl Hotel: Convenient location, a reliable choice in town. Choosing guesthouses: Use platforms like Trip.com to filter highly rated local guesthouses. Sometimes you get warmer local hospitality, and the host might even take you to better stargazing spots. 🚗 Three-day starry sky itinerary proposal Day 1: Arrive in Bayinbuluke in the afternoon, acclimate to the cold, rest early. Day 2: Visit Swan Home during the day, watch the sunset at Jiǔqū Shíbāwān in the evening, and have your first stargazing experience at night. Day 3: Visit nearby Gongnaisi Forest Park (check road conditions) to see snowy forests, then do a second stargazing session at night where kids will identify even more stars. Under Bayinbuluke’s starry sky, time and cold seem to freeze. At that moment, what you share with your child is not just the vast stars but an endless curiosity and longing for the universe. This journey is destined to shine.

It gathers all the beautiful winter imaginations: hot springs, picking, forest hiking, artistic villages… The key is that it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect for families wanting a relaxing weekend outing with kids. 🚗 Our winter weekend at Shushan This time the destination is Shushan Scenic Area.

In winter, there’s no sense of decay here, but rather a calm and warm energy. 🎨 One-day slow travel highlights (can be split) · Morning: Forest oxygen hike → Start from the wooden boardwalk entrance of Shushan Village, about 3 kilometers with gentle slopes.

Recommended are “Quanlin Farmhouse” or “Gejiawu Farmhouse,” must-try dishes are herbal chicken soup and braised radish. · Afternoon: Double enjoyment → Family picking: Visit a nearby strawberry greenhouse to experience the joy of winter picking; the strawberries are big and sweet.

Love the beach or simply enjoy discovering unique places? Head out of the city! Just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, you’ll find the iconic Brighton bathing boxes on Dendy Street beach (all 93 of them!), one different from the other. These are from the Victorian era, used by swimmers as changing rooms to keep their modesty. Nowadays, local owners use them to store beach equipment or as relaxing retreats by the water. If swimming in chilly waters isn’t your thing, grab a coffee and take a leisurely stroll along the beach, admiring the colourful boxes up close. Continue along the shoreline, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bay views and, in the distance, the striking silhouette of Melbourne’s CBD far beyond the horizon. #melbourne #brightonbeach

Slow solo morning at @langhammelbourne Long hot bath, fluffy robe, and room service in bed because leaving the room was not the vibe. Croissants, danishes, fresh fruit, and a strong coffee while the city did its thing outside, and I just stayed wrapped up in my little bubble. Romanticising my own company will always be my favourite 🥰

The sea was sparkling from the morning, and the weather was perfect ☀️ Day 2 was all about soaking in island time... so relaxing 🥹✨ 📍Angel Road 🌊 A mysterious spot where a path appears on the sea only during low tide! The view from the bell tower above is breathtaking—you could stare at it forever 🔔 *Make sure to check the tide table before visiting◎ (Off-season is relatively quiet, almost like having the place to yourself.) 📍Yokai Museum 👻 @meipamyokai Admission fee: 2,900 yen A museum combining "Yokai" (Japanese folklore monsters) and art, utilizing old houses and warehouses. You explore four buildings as part of the experience, which reportedly takes about an hour. We decided to skip it this time, but I’ll definitely visit next time! 🙄 📍Coffee Shop World ☕️ A retro café loved by locals, perfect for a cozy break. Their fluffy sandwiches and egg toast sandwiches filled both my stomach and heart... 🍞 I really love places like this 🤭 📍Shodoshima Olive Garden 🫒 @shodoshima_olive_en__1st_olive Stopped by to pick up souvenirs. Along with olive products, I bought herb garlic and OLISCO. Tried them at home, and everything was delicious! 📍A hidden gem we stumbled upon (by the sea) 🌅 The combination of the breakwater and Setouchi Blue was so refreshing. Just staring at the sea and zoning out felt like the ultimate luxury 😮💨✨ 📍Minato Dining (right by Fukuda Port) 🍲 A warm eatery run by a sweet grandma. The cozy interior with a stove was so relaxing◎ After much deliberation, I ordered: ⚫︎ Nabeyaki Ramen (800 yen)! Packed with chicken, egg, chikuwa, and bean sprouts, it was super filling! Delicious and comforting 😍 Perfect way to end the trip. 📍Fukuda Port → Himeji Port 🚢 @shodoshimaferry Enjoyed a leisurely ferry ride back. The sea remained beautiful till the end, making me want to visit again 😌🌊 Day 2 was all about "sea × retro × laid-back travel" 🫶🏻 Off-season meant fewer tourists and a more relaxed vibe ☻ Highly recommended!

Just got back from Shangri-La, and some hard truths must be told 💔✨ Shangri-La in November is truly beautiful, but the pitfalls are real too! Read this and I guarantee fewer travel mishaps~ First lesson on the plateau: either your body or your soul must be on the road​ Shangri-La’s altitude is ridiculously high; on the first day, altitude sickness taught me a hard lesson 😵‍💫🌬️ Headache so bad I questioned my life, didn’t even have the energy to put on makeup! Locals laugh and say, “Don’t try to be tough here, slow is the way.” ✅ Blood and tears advice: Drink Rhodiola three days before departure, and don’t wash your hair or shower right after arrival! Layer a down jacket with a windbreaker; the temperature difference between morning and night will make you experience all four seasons in one day 🌞❄️ Apply sunscreen thickly, the UV rays will give you a plateau sunburn in no time! Accommodation traps: Old Town guesthouses look great in photos, but your suitcase will suffer​ Tibetan-style guesthouses in Dukezong Old Town are definitely photogenic 📸🌄 But dragging a suitcase on the cobblestone streets nearly wrecked my wheels! Luckily, I chose a guesthouse that offers luggage check-in service, otherwise it would have been a nightmare from the start… ✅ Smart choice: When booking, filter out “no elevator” and “steep climb” options, prioritize the edges of the Old Town for quiet and cheaper stays. Remember to pick a room with a humidifier; the dryness is no joke—you’ll wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 💦🔥 (Don’t ask me how I know) Attraction tips: Save money with these quick hacks!​ Songzanlin Monastery: Don’t foolishly buy the 90 RMB ticket online! Go straight to the manual ticket window, tickets plus shuttle bus only cost 55 RMB 🕶️🙏 You can get a free blessing with a prayer bracelet at the mountaintop hall, but remember to be quiet and respectful, don’t snap photos wildly of the monks~ Napahai Lake: Never search “Napahai” directly on navigation! Otherwise, you’ll definitely be taken to a paid horse ranch 💸🐎 The correct way is to search “Huanhu Road,” take bus No. 12 around the lake, and enjoy free views of waterfowl, meadows, and snow-capped mountains—breathtakingly beautiful 🦢🌊 (Riding horses? Ask the price clearly before mounting!) Potatso National Park: November’s colorful forests look like a spilled palette 🏞️🍂 But bring an oxygen tank for hiking! I stubbornly didn’t, and was gasping after just a few steps… The park has lots of little bugs, spray mosquito repellent generously! Transportation insider: The battle between charter cars and buses​ Shangri-La’s attractions are scattered, and bus schedules are pitifully sparse 😭 Carpooling with friends is the most cost-effective, but never trust airport black taxis! Book a car in advance on Trip.com; local drivers often double as guides, telling fascinating Tibetan stories along the way~ ✅ Money-saving bonus: There’s a direct shuttle from Dukezong Old Town to Potatso, buying the ticket plus park entrance as a package saves you enough for a hotpot meal 🍲💃 (Don’t say I didn’t tell you!) Food hits and misses: Yak meat hotpot is legendary, but some trendy restaurants disappoint​ A certain popular Tibetan restaurant in the Old Town had a one-hour wait, but the yak meat was so tough it got stuck in my teeth 🦷⚡ Then I found a small alley restaurant called “Lixing Specialty Tibetan Cuisine,” where the hotpot broth was incredibly fresh, and the barley cakes dipped in butter tea were so good I licked the plate! ✅ Must-eat list: Yak meat hotpot (about 80 RMB per person), roadside mom’s freshly baked barley cakes, yogurt sprinkled with sugar… Warning! If you have a weak stomach, don’t try raw dairy products—trust me, it’s a half-day bathroom tour 🚽💨 November’s exclusive romance: Few people, stunning scenery, like having the place to yourself​ This season in Shangri-La is full of hidden perks! Migratory birds flock at Napahai, morning mist swirls around the golden roof of Songzanlin Monastery, no crowds fighting for spots at the prayer wheels in Dukezong Old Town… At night, dance the Guozhuang with Tibetan aunties, and when cold, retreat to a teahouse for butter tea, instantly healing all fatigue 💫🌟 Most unforgettable was stargazing at Guishan Park, the Milky Way shining like special effects—at that moment, I suddenly understood what “the sun and moon in the heart” means 🌌💖 Ultimate tips: Listen to these before you go​ ▪️ Step over temple thresholds, don’t step on them! Turn prayer wheels clockwise~ ▪️ Buy souvenirs at local markets, compare prices for Tibetan silver jewelry, don’t impulse buy! ▪️ Bring colorful scarves and sunglasses, they brighten your photos and protect from wind! ▪️ Slow your pace: when it rains on the plateau, stay cozy in the guesthouse by the fire; when it’s sunny, rush outside—being spontaneous is the right way to enjoy Shangri-La! Autumn in Shangri-La is a dream with lasting impact 🍁 Even after returning, flipping through photos still makes my heart flutter… Here’s the guide, the rest is for you to experience in person! 💃❤️🔥

If there’s only one thing you do this spring, let it be watching a sunset in one of Adelaide’s most popular sunset lookouts 😍 📍Mount Osmond Lookout It’s looking absolutely sensational right with all the flowers in bloom! Ughhh what a way to end a day 🥹✨ But it does get soooo busy so do head out there early! You can park along Hayward Dr and walk along an easy trail to get to the lookout. This is your sign to go! #southaustralia #sunsetplaces

From the hotel, we could see Sydney Tower, constantly surrounded by its presence. By chance, we stumbled upon its ground floor entrance and decided to go up and take a look! We purchased instant confirmation tickets online and followed the signs to the fifth floor. Unexpectedly, we took a photo for verification and joined the tourists heading towards the elevator. Finally, someone asked if we had tickets, and after scanning our e-tickets, we smoothly made our way upstairs! It was just the right time for the sunset, offering a golden view of Sydney Harbour, a glimpse of the Opera House, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, and more! The city lights slowly began to illuminate the nightscape. Sometimes, accidental encounters lead to wonderful experiences!

If you’re looking for adrenaline just outside of Sydney, abseiling in the Blue Mountains is the ultimate day out. 🏞️🧗♀️ We tackled cliffs up to 30 metres high, rappelling down sheer rock faces with epic views over the Jamison Valley. Whether you’re a beginner or thrill-seeker, most tours start small (around 5–10m descents) and build up to the big drops — with expert guides coaching you every step of the way. And the reward? Unreal panoramas, heart-pounding fun, and a massive sense of accomplishment. 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park (tours often depart from Katoomba) 🚗 Getting there: ~2 hrs drive/train from Sydney 🧢 What to bring: Activewear, closed shoes, water, courage! Abseiling is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains — from a whole new perspective. #tripcom #bluemountains #abseilingaustralia #outdooradventure #explorensw #visitaustralia #katoomba #naturelovers #thrillseekers #epicviews #sydneydaytrip

Tasmania was one of those places that completely changed my idea of Australia. Before visiting, I imagined it would mainly be about mountains and wildlife, but once I arrived, I discovered a much more diverse landscape—rugged coastlines, crystal-clear beaches, dramatic mountains, peaceful lakes and charming little towns. What I loved most was how untouched many parts of Tasmania felt. I started my journey in Hobart, where I enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere and explored the city's historic streets. Compared with Melbourne and Sydney, Hobart felt much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted after spending time in bigger cities. From Hobart, I headed out to explore Tasmania's incredible natural scenery. 🌊 Freycinet National Park One of my favorite places was Freycinet National Park. The first time I saw Wineglass Bay from the lookout, I honestly couldn't believe the colors. The curved white beach, turquoise water and surrounding mountains created one of the most beautiful coastal views I've experienced in Australia. The hike to the lookout wasn't particularly long, but I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes and taking your time. I stayed at the viewpoint longer than expected because the scenery kept changing as the sunlight moved across the bay. 🏔️ Cradle Mountain Another highlight was Cradle Mountain. The landscape here felt completely different from the coastline. There were alpine trails, ancient forests, rocky peaks and peaceful lakes. Even though the weather changed quickly, that actually made the scenery feel even more dramatic. I remember standing beside Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. The water was incredibly calm, and for a few minutes there was almost complete silence. That was one of those travel moments that photographs simply can't fully capture. 🐧 Wildlife & Wild Coastlines Tasmania also surprised me with its wildlife. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter wallabies, wombats, echidnas and even little penguins. Seeing wildlife in a natural environment rather than behind glass was one of the experiences I appreciated most. The coastline was another highlight. Places like Bay of Fires offered completely different scenery again, with white sand, clear blue water and striking orange-red rocks along the coast. 📍 My Tasmania Travel Tips 🚗 Rent a car if possible. Tasmania is much easier to explore independently, especially if you want to visit national parks and remote coastal areas. 🥾 Bring proper hiking shoes. Even shorter trails can become muddy or slippery depending on the weather. 🌦️ Always check the weather before hiking. Conditions can change quickly, especially around Cradle Mountain. 🧥 Pack layers. Even during warmer months, mornings and evenings can feel surprisingly cold. 📸 Allow extra time for photography. Tasmania is full of unexpected viewpoints, and rushing between attractions would be a shame. 🦘 Drive carefully at dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be active around roads, particularly outside the main towns. 🗺️ Don't try to see everything in a short trip. Tasmania looks manageable on a map, but driving between different regions takes time. ❤️ My Experience What stayed with me most about Tasmania wasn't one particular attraction. It was the feeling of space. There were moments when I was driving through empty roads with mountains in the distance, stopping beside a lake with nobody around, or standing on a beach listening to nothing but the waves. Tasmania felt slower, quieter and more raw than many other places I'd visited in Australia. If you're looking for a destination where you can combine road trips, hiking, wildlife, mountains, beaches and incredible scenery, Tasmania is somewhere I'd definitely recommend. And if you have enough time, don't rush it. Tasmania is a place to explore slowly. 🚗 Tasmania Quick Guide 📍 Main Gateway: Hobart / Launceston
⭐ Recommended: 5–8 days for a road trip

Why do people avoid the Blue Mountains in Sydney? (Just curious, no offense) If you have to compare the Blue Mountains with the Three Mountains and Five Great Mountains in China, there’s absolutely no comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But in Australia, the Blue Mountains are a landmark attraction of Sydney! The air quality is excellent, known as a natural oxygen bar! After visiting, I just want to say: Tell Sydney, I’m not coming back 😉 But if you don’t plan well, you won’t understand how to enjoy the cable cars + forest walkways! . 🕳️Here are some of the easiest pitfalls to fall into👇 ❌ Trap 1: Not checking the weather in advance! On rainy or overcast days, the Three Sisters disappear, and your photo plans are ruined ❌ Trap 2: Not studying the routes, guessing how to connect the three types of cable cars ❌ Trap 3: Poor time planning, waiting in line until you lose your mind . ⭐【How to get there】 🚗 Self-driving: Park for free at Scenic Skyway Parking, the entrance and ticket office are right outside the parking lot 🚌 For those without a car, day tours: daily departures, book in advance near holidays . 🚡【How to enjoy the three cable cars + forest walkways❓】 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway Panoramic glass cabins, crossing the valley 270m high, with a full view of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls! On sunny days, the whole canyon is covered by a light blue mist 🔴 Scenic Railway One of the steepest forest railways in the world, plunging down the mountain at a 52° angle. Although not fast, the feeling of being “pulled into the rainforest” is thrilling 🔵 Cableway A super large cable car that can hold many people! Staff provide fun and humorous commentary about the surrounding scenery 🌳 Walkway Stroll through the rainforest 🚶 The entire path is a wooden boardwalk, very flat, suitable for kids and strollers! There are also displays of minerals and coal Ps. All cable cars can be ridden unlimited times, just queue again each time you return . 🗺【Recommended order of play】 🔴 Scenic Railway → 🟢 Rainforest Walkway → 🔵 Cableway → 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway; if you like mountain views, choose the shortest Walkway route, then quickly take the 🔵 Cableway to the visitor center to switch to the 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway

📍SAVE $$$ - all the info here 👇🏼 This was such a fun day in Blue Mountains. Our mission was to spend under $50 which is SO doable considering there is so much to see and do for free, but ended up spending a little extra and it was totally worth it - you’ll see why 👀 🏠 Base yourself at the YHA Blue Mountains. It’s super comfy, affordable and right in town, making it the perfect place to stay. Morning: 🥾 Grand Canyon Hike 6.5km loop, allow 2-3 hours to really enjoy it!

Perth's jacarandas are truly on par with Sydney's! The jacaranda blooming season in Perth is slightly later than in Sydney~ When Sydney's flowers start to fade, Perth's are just beginning to bloom. The pink sunset + jacarandas are so beautiful! . Perth rarely rains because of its good weather, so the flowering period tends to last longer~ . There are too many people taking photos under Sydney's beautiful jacarandas, but Perth is quieter (more secluded), so the jacarandas are much more peaceful and undisturbed for now. The photos were taken yesterday evening 📍Strickland Street 📍Tain Street

Every time I check out travel guides for Tasmania, someone always says: "You must self-drive in Tasmania." But if you only have six days and it's your first visit, I actually recommend leaving the driving to someone else. It's not about the difficulty of driving. It's because some of Tasmania's most precious experiences aren't at the destinations, but along the journey. 🌿 1️⃣ Many of Tasmania's scenic views are actually outside the car window. From Hobart heading north, you'll pass through forests, highways, coastlines, and quiet little towns. The most enjoyable moments are when you see a place you like, stop to take a few photos, or simply sit quietly and admire the view outside. If you're driving yourself, your attention will constantly be on speed limits, curves, and navigation. Many beautiful sights will be missed. 🦘 2️⃣ Driving at night in winter requires more caution than you might think. Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife. Especially at dusk, kangaroos and wombats are more likely to come out and roam. Many first-time visitors try to avoid driving at night—not because the roads are difficult, but because you need to stay alert for animals that might suddenly dart out from the roadside. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Staying tense the whole time can take away from the joy of the trip. ☕ 3️⃣ The exhaustion isn't just behind the wheel, but also at the end of the day. For trips like Maria Island, you'll spend most of the day hiking. If you then have to drive for several hours to get back to your hotel, you'll likely be too drained to enjoy the evening. The next day, heading to Cradle Mountain might feel more like ticking off a checklist than truly enjoying the experience. On the other hand, if you can nap in the car and wake up at the next destination, the pace feels much more comfortable. That's why, when planning routes, we always avoid cramming too much driving into the schedule. For a first visit to Tasmania, it's more important to dedicate time to the scenery rather than constantly focusing on navigation. Save your energy for the experiences that truly matter.

In Shanghai, looking for a natural spot with fewer people, fresh air, and some learning? Sheshan National Forest Park is definitely the hidden champion! It’s not just two small hills but a super complex integrating forest, astronomy, religion, and history, offering diverse activities—you won’t have enough time to explore it all in one day. 🌳 Twin Hills Guide: East Sheshan vs West Sheshan · East Sheshan (74 meters above sea level): Focuses on natural wilderness.

At the summit stands the Far East’s largest cathedral, the Sheshan Basilica, and the Shanghai Astronomy Museum (Sheshan Observatory). It’s an excellent place for astronomy enlightenment and architectural aesthetics. Suggestion: If you have enough time, visit both East and West Sheshan (connected by a passage).

Shanghai Guangfulin Prime Minister’s Mansion Hotel: Located within Guangfulin, a relocated and rebuilt Anhui-style ancient residence, with an extremely cultural and quiet atmosphere. 🍽️ Dining Solutions · Inside the park: Limited dining options on Sheshan, it’s recommended to bring your own snacks or eat after descending. · In hotels: The restaurants in the above hotels are very good, especially the themed restaurant in the Deep Pit Hotel, offering a unique experience. · Commercial areas: The commercial street at Happy Valley entrance, Songjiang Wanda, or Wenhui Road in Songjiang University Town offer plenty of dining choices. 📌 Practical Information at a Glance · Transportation: Take Metro Line 9 to “Sheshan Station,” then transfer to Songjiang bus or taxi. Self-driving is recommended, with convenient parking at all attractions. · Tickets: Sheshan Forest Park is free, but small attractions like the Astronomy Museum charge admission. Other nearby parks require separate tickets. · Reservations: The Astronomy Museum and Guangfulin site require advance booking on official platforms. · Attire: Wear comfortable sports shoes for hiking, and take mosquito protection when walking in the forest (less in winter). Sheshan National Forest Park breaks Shanghai’s stereotype of “only skyscrapers.” Here, nature, science, history, and art are within reach, making it an excellent outdoor classroom to cultivate children’s comprehensive qualities.

When city light pollution obscures the starry sky, a child's childhood loses a vast realm of imagination. This winter, I took my child to a place known as "China's Most Beautiful Starry Sky" — Bayinbuluke. This is not just a grassland but also an international dark sky park. In winter, the extreme cold brings crystal-clear skies, with the Milky Way stretching across the horizon, seemingly within reach. 🌌 Why is winter the best season for stargazing? Clear air: Cold air sinks, reducing moisture and dust in the atmosphere, making the starry sky exceptionally clear and bright. Long nights: Early sunsets mean stars appear earlier, so kids don’t have to stay up too late. Visible Milky Way core: Although the Milky Way is less dazzling in winter than in summer, winter constellations are bright, the starry sky is equally splendid, and classic celestial bodies like Orion and the Pleiades are easier to observe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Beginner’s guide to family stargazing (even with zero experience) Don’t worry if you don’t know astronomy; this is a perfect opportunity for early education. Preparation (knowledge introduction): · Download star map apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Guide to identify constellations just by pointing your phone. · Tell your child one or two Greek mythology stories about constellations to make it more fun. On-site activities: Connect the stars: Use a star pointer (be careful not to shine it in others’ eyes or at airplanes) or a laser pointer to "draw" constellations in the sky with your child. Find the brightest star: Compete to see who spots Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky) or Mars (the red planet) first. Wish on shooting stars: Winter sometimes brings the Quadrantids meteor shower, and even on regular nights, random meteors are easy to spot under a pure night sky. 📍 Stargazing locations and practical tips Best spots: Near your hotel or guesthouse, just find an open area away from streetlights. The Jiǔqū Shíbāwān (Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns) viewing platform is top-notch but closed at night. Safety first—no need to venture into dangerous places. Timing: About 1.5 hours after sunset when the sky is fully dark is the best time to start. Observe for about an hour, watch your child’s comfort level, and return indoors as needed. Warmth strategy (nighttime upgrade): In addition to the gear mentioned in the fifth article, add: Thick-soled snow boots: Keeping feet warm is key for endurance. Sit-able moisture-proof mat: Blocks ground cold and makes sitting while looking up comfortable. Headlamp (red light mode): Red light minimally affects vision, convenient for moving around without ruining night vision. 📸 Simple family star photography tutorial Want to capture the memory? A smartphone is enough. Phone settings: · Use professional mode or download apps like NightCap. · Suggested settings: ISO at maximum (3200 or 6400), shutter speed 15-30 seconds, focus set to infinity. · Always use a tripod! This is crucial for success. · Use a headphone cable or Bluetooth remote as a shutter to avoid shaking from pressing the button. Creative shots: Let kids "paint with light" on the snow using a flashlight, or take family silhouette photos with the starry sky as the backdrop—heartwarming and unforgettable. 🛏️ Warm basecamp: Recommended stargazing hotels A place to quickly warm up in the cold is essential: Bayinbuluke Tianhe Source Hotel: Some rooms offer wide views and ample heating. Bayinbuluke Grassland Pearl Hotel: Convenient location, a reliable choice in town. Choosing guesthouses: Use platforms like Trip.com to filter highly rated local guesthouses. Sometimes you get warmer local hospitality, and the host might even take you to better stargazing spots. 🚗 Three-day starry sky itinerary proposal Day 1: Arrive in Bayinbuluke in the afternoon, acclimate to the cold, rest early. Day 2: Visit Swan Home during the day, watch the sunset at Jiǔqū Shíbāwān in the evening, and have your first stargazing experience at night. Day 3: Visit nearby Gongnaisi Forest Park (check road conditions) to see snowy forests, then do a second stargazing session at night where kids will identify even more stars. Under Bayinbuluke’s starry sky, time and cold seem to freeze. At that moment, what you share with your child is not just the vast stars but an endless curiosity and longing for the universe. This journey is destined to shine.

Discover a hidden gem just 30 minutes from downtown Suzhou! It gathers all the beautiful winter imaginations: hot springs, picking, forest hiking, artistic villages… The key is that it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect for families wanting a relaxing weekend outing with kids. 🚗 Our winter weekend at Shushan This time the destination is Shushan Scenic Area. It’s not a single attraction but a comprehensive ecological village made up of tea gardens, bamboo forests, boardwalks, hot springs, and ancient villages. In winter, there’s no sense of decay here, but rather a calm and warm energy. 🎨 One-day slow travel highlights (can be split) · Morning: Forest oxygen hike → Start from the wooden boardwalk entrance of Shushan Village, about 3 kilometers with gentle slopes. Along the way are tall bamboo groves and bayberry forests, with fresh air.

Love the beach or simply enjoy discovering unique places? Head out of the city! Just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, you’ll find the iconic Brighton bathing boxes on Dendy Street beach (all 93 of them!), one different from the other. These are from the Victorian era, used by swimmers as changing rooms to keep their modesty. Nowadays, local owners use them to store beach equipment or as relaxing retreats by the water. If swimming in chilly waters isn’t your thing, grab a coffee and take a leisurely stroll along the beach, admiring the colourful boxes up close. Continue along the shoreline, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bay views and, in the distance, the striking silhouette of Melbourne’s CBD far beyond the horizon. #melbourne #brightonbeach

Slow solo morning at @langhammelbourne Long hot bath, fluffy robe, and room service in bed because leaving the room was not the vibe. Croissants, danishes, fresh fruit, and a strong coffee while the city did its thing outside, and I just stayed wrapped up in my little bubble. Romanticising my own company will always be my favourite 🥰

The sea was sparkling from the morning, and the weather was perfect ☀️ Day 2 was all about soaking in island time... so relaxing 🥹✨ 📍Angel Road 🌊 A mysterious spot where a path appears on the sea only during low tide! The view from the bell tower above is breathtaking—you could stare at it forever 🔔 *Make sure to check the tide table before visiting◎ (Off-season is relatively quiet, almost like having the place to yourself.) 📍Yokai Museum 👻 @meipamyokai Admission fee: 2,900 yen A museum combining "Yokai" (Japanese folklore monsters) and art, utilizing old houses and warehouses. You explore four buildings as part of the experience, which reportedly takes about an hour. We decided to skip it this time, but I’ll definitely visit next time! 🙄 📍Coffee Shop World ☕️ A retro café loved by locals, perfect for a cozy break. Their fluffy sandwiches and egg toast sandwiches filled both my stomach and heart... 🍞 I really love places like this 🤭 📍Shodoshima Olive Garden 🫒 @shodoshima_olive_en__1st_olive Stopped by to pick up souvenirs. Along with olive products, I bought herb garlic and OLISCO. Tried them at home, and everything was delicious! 📍A hidden gem we stumbled upon (by the sea) 🌅 The combination of the breakwater and Setouchi Blue was so refreshing. Just staring at the sea and zoning out felt like the ultimate luxury 😮💨✨ 📍Minato Dining (right by Fukuda Port) 🍲 A warm eatery run by a sweet grandma. The cozy interior with a stove was so relaxing◎ After much deliberation, I ordered: ⚫︎ Nabeyaki Ramen (800 yen)! Packed with chicken, egg, chikuwa, and bean sprouts, it was super filling! Delicious and comforting 😍 Perfect way to end the trip. 📍Fukuda Port → Himeji Port 🚢 @shodoshimaferry Enjoyed a leisurely ferry ride back. The sea remained beautiful till the end, making me want to visit again 😌🌊 Day 2 was all about "sea × retro × laid-back travel" 🫶🏻 Off-season meant fewer tourists and a more relaxed vibe ☻ Highly recommended!

Just got back from Shangri-La, and some hard truths must be told 💔✨ Shangri-La in November is truly beautiful, but the pitfalls are real too! Read this and I guarantee fewer travel mishaps~ First lesson on the plateau: either your body or your soul must be on the road​ Shangri-La’s altitude is ridiculously high; on the first day, altitude sickness taught me a hard lesson 😵‍💫🌬️ Headache so bad I questioned my life, didn’t even have the energy to put on makeup! Locals laugh and say, “Don’t try to be tough here, slow is the way.” ✅ Blood and tears advice: Drink Rhodiola three days before departure, and don’t wash your hair or shower right after arrival! Layer a down jacket with a windbreaker; the temperature difference between morning and night will make you experience all four seasons in one day 🌞❄️ Apply sunscreen thickly, the UV rays will give you a plateau sunburn in no time! Accommodation traps: Old Town guesthouses look great in photos, but your suitcase will suffer​ Tibetan-style guesthouses in Dukezong Old Town are definitely photogenic 📸🌄 But dragging a suitcase on the cobblestone streets nearly wrecked my wheels! Luckily, I chose a guesthouse that offers luggage check-in service, otherwise it would have been a nightmare from the start… ✅ Smart choice: When booking, filter out “no elevator” and “steep climb” options, prioritize the edges of the Old Town for quiet and cheaper stays. Remember to pick a room with a humidifier; the dryness is no joke—you’ll wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 💦🔥 (Don’t ask me how I know) Attraction tips: Save money with these quick hacks!​ Songzanlin Monastery: Don’t foolishly buy the 90 RMB ticket online! Go straight to the manual ticket window, tickets plus shuttle bus only cost 55 RMB 🕶️🙏 You can get a free blessing with a prayer bracelet at the mountaintop hall, but remember to be quiet and respectful, don’t snap photos wildly of the monks~ Napahai Lake: Never search “Napahai” directly on navigation! Otherwise, you’ll definitely be taken to a paid horse ranch 💸🐎 The correct way is to search “Huanhu Road,” take bus No. 12 around the lake, and enjoy free views of waterfowl, meadows, and snow-capped mountains—breathtakingly beautiful 🦢🌊 (Riding horses? Ask the price clearly before mounting!) Potatso National Park: November’s colorful forests look like a spilled palette 🏞️🍂 But bring an oxygen tank for hiking! I stubbornly didn’t, and was gasping after just a few steps… The park has lots of little bugs, spray mosquito repellent generously! Transportation insider: The battle between charter cars and buses​ Shangri-La’s attractions are scattered, and bus schedules are pitifully sparse 😭 Carpooling with friends is the most cost-effective, but never trust airport black taxis! Book a car in advance on Trip.com; local drivers often double as guides, telling fascinating Tibetan stories along the way~ ✅ Money-saving bonus: There’s a direct shuttle from Dukezong Old Town to Potatso, buying the ticket plus park entrance as a package saves you enough for a hotpot meal 🍲💃 (Don’t say I didn’t tell you!) Food hits and misses: Yak meat hotpot is legendary, but some trendy restaurants disappoint​ A certain popular Tibetan restaurant in the Old Town had a one-hour wait, but the yak meat was so tough it got stuck in my teeth 🦷⚡ Then I found a small alley restaurant called “Lixing Specialty Tibetan Cuisine,” where the hotpot broth was incredibly fresh, and the barley cakes dipped in butter tea were so good I licked the plate! ✅ Must-eat list: Yak meat hotpot (about 80 RMB per person), roadside mom’s freshly baked barley cakes, yogurt sprinkled with sugar… Warning! If you have a weak stomach, don’t try raw dairy products—trust me, it’s a half-day bathroom tour 🚽💨 November’s exclusive romance: Few people, stunning scenery, like having the place to yourself​ This season in Shangri-La is full of hidden perks! Migratory birds flock at Napahai, morning mist swirls around the golden roof of Songzanlin Monastery, no crowds fighting for spots at the prayer wheels in Dukezong Old Town… At night, dance the Guozhuang with Tibetan aunties, and when cold, retreat to a teahouse for butter tea, instantly healing all fatigue 💫🌟 Most unforgettable was stargazing at Guishan Park, the Milky Way shining like special effects—at that moment, I suddenly understood what “the sun and moon in the heart” means 🌌💖 Ultimate tips: Listen to these before you go​ ▪️ Step over temple thresholds, don’t step on them! Turn prayer wheels clockwise~ ▪️ Buy souvenirs at local markets, compare prices for Tibetan silver jewelry, don’t impulse buy! ▪️ Bring colorful scarves and sunglasses, they brighten your photos and protect from wind! ▪️ Slow your pace: when it rains on the plateau, stay cozy in the guesthouse by the fire; when it’s sunny, rush outside—being spontaneous is the right way to enjoy Shangri-La! Autumn in Shangri-La is a dream with lasting impact 🍁 Even after returning, flipping through photos still makes my heart flutter… Here’s the guide, the rest is for you to experience in person! 💃❤️🔥

If there’s only one thing you do this spring, let it be watching a sunset in one of Adelaide’s most popular sunset lookouts 😍 📍Mount Osmond Lookout It’s looking absolutely sensational right with all the flowers in bloom! Ughhh what a way to end a day 🥹✨ But it does get soooo busy so do head out there early! You can park along Hayward Dr and walk along an easy trail to get to the lookout. This is your sign to go! #southaustralia #sunsetplaces

From the hotel, we could see Sydney Tower, constantly surrounded by its presence. By chance, we stumbled upon its ground floor entrance and decided to go up and take a look! We purchased instant confirmation tickets online and followed the signs to the fifth floor. Unexpectedly, we took a photo for verification and joined the tourists heading towards the elevator. Finally, someone asked if we had tickets, and after scanning our e-tickets, we smoothly made our way upstairs! It was just the right time for the sunset, offering a golden view of Sydney Harbour, a glimpse of the Opera House, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, and more! The city lights slowly began to illuminate the nightscape. Sometimes, accidental encounters lead to wonderful experiences!

If you’re looking for adrenaline just outside of Sydney, abseiling in the Blue Mountains is the ultimate day out. 🏞️🧗♀️ We tackled cliffs up to 30 metres high, rappelling down sheer rock faces with epic views over the Jamison Valley. Whether you’re a beginner or thrill-seeker, most tours start small (around 5–10m descents) and build up to the big drops — with expert guides coaching you every step of the way. And the reward? Unreal panoramas, heart-pounding fun, and a massive sense of accomplishment. 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park (tours often depart from Katoomba) 🚗 Getting there: ~2 hrs drive/train from Sydney 🧢 What to bring: Activewear, closed shoes, water, courage! Abseiling is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains — from a whole new perspective. #tripcom #bluemountains #abseilingaustralia #outdooradventure #explorensw #visitaustralia #katoomba #naturelovers #thrillseekers #epicviews #sydneydaytrip

Tasmania was one of those places that completely changed my idea of Australia. Before visiting, I imagined it would mainly be about mountains and wildlife, but once I arrived, I discovered a much more diverse landscape—rugged coastlines, crystal-clear beaches, dramatic mountains, peaceful lakes and charming little towns. What I loved most was how untouched many parts of Tasmania felt. I started my journey in Hobart, where I enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere and explored the city's historic streets. Compared with Melbourne and Sydney, Hobart felt much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted after spending time in bigger cities. From Hobart, I headed out to explore Tasmania's incredible natural scenery. 🌊 Freycinet National Park One of my favorite places was Freycinet National Park. The first time I saw Wineglass Bay from the lookout, I honestly couldn't believe the colors. The curved white beach, turquoise water and surrounding mountains created one of the most beautiful coastal views I've experienced in Australia. The hike to the lookout wasn't particularly long, but I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes and taking your time. I stayed at the viewpoint longer than expected because the scenery kept changing as the sunlight moved across the bay. 🏔️ Cradle Mountain Another highlight was Cradle Mountain. The landscape here felt completely different from the coastline. There were alpine trails, ancient forests, rocky peaks and peaceful lakes. Even though the weather changed quickly, that actually made the scenery feel even more dramatic. I remember standing beside Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. The water was incredibly calm, and for a few minutes there was almost complete silence. That was one of those travel moments that photographs simply can't fully capture. 🐧 Wildlife & Wild Coastlines Tasmania also surprised me with its wildlife. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter wallabies, wombats, echidnas and even little penguins. Seeing wildlife in a natural environment rather than behind glass was one of the experiences I appreciated most. The coastline was another highlight. Places like Bay of Fires offered completely different scenery again, with white sand, clear blue water and striking orange-red rocks along the coast. 📍 My Tasmania Travel Tips 🚗 Rent a car if possible. Tasmania is much easier to explore independently, especially if you want to visit national parks and remote coastal areas. 🥾 Bring proper hiking shoes. Even shorter trails can become muddy or slippery depending on the weather. 🌦️ Always check the weather before hiking. Conditions can change quickly, especially around Cradle Mountain. 🧥 Pack layers. Even during warmer months, mornings and evenings can feel surprisingly cold. 📸 Allow extra time for photography. Tasmania is full of unexpected viewpoints, and rushing between attractions would be a shame. 🦘 Drive carefully at dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be active around roads, particularly outside the main towns. 🗺️ Don't try to see everything in a short trip. Tasmania looks manageable on a map, but driving between different regions takes time. ❤️ My Experience What stayed with me most about Tasmania wasn't one particular attraction. It was the feeling of space. There were moments when I was driving through empty roads with mountains in the distance, stopping beside a lake with nobody around, or standing on a beach listening to nothing but the waves. Tasmania felt slower, quieter and more raw than many other places I'd visited in Australia. If you're looking for a destination where you can combine road trips, hiking, wildlife, mountains, beaches and incredible scenery, Tasmania is somewhere I'd definitely recommend. And if you have enough time, don't rush it. Tasmania is a place to explore slowly. 🚗 Tasmania Quick Guide 📍 Main Gateway: Hobart / Launceston
⭐ Recommended: 5–8 days for a road trip

Why do people avoid the Blue Mountains in Sydney? (Just curious, no offense) If you have to compare the Blue Mountains with the Three Mountains and Five Great Mountains in China, there’s absolutely no comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But in Australia, the Blue Mountains are a landmark attraction of Sydney! The air quality is excellent, known as a natural oxygen bar! After visiting, I just want to say: Tell Sydney, I’m not coming back 😉 But if you don’t plan well, you won’t understand how to enjoy the cable cars + forest walkways! . 🕳️Here are some of the easiest pitfalls to fall into👇 ❌ Trap 1: Not checking the weather in advance! On rainy or overcast days, the Three Sisters disappear, and your photo plans are ruined ❌ Trap 2: Not studying the routes, guessing how to connect the three types of cable cars ❌ Trap 3: Poor time planning, waiting in line until you lose your mind . ⭐【How to get there】 🚗 Self-driving: Park for free at Scenic Skyway Parking, the entrance and ticket office are right outside the parking lot 🚌 For those without a car, day tours: daily departures, book in advance near holidays . 🚡【How to enjoy the three cable cars + forest walkways❓】 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway Panoramic glass cabins, crossing the valley 270m high, with a full view of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls! On sunny days, the whole canyon is covered by a light blue mist 🔴 Scenic Railway One of the steepest forest railways in the world, plunging down the mountain at a 52° angle. Although not fast, the feeling of being “pulled into the rainforest” is thrilling 🔵 Cableway A super large cable car that can hold many people! Staff provide fun and humorous commentary about the surrounding scenery 🌳 Walkway Stroll through the rainforest 🚶 The entire path is a wooden boardwalk, very flat, suitable for kids and strollers! There are also displays of minerals and coal Ps. All cable cars can be ridden unlimited times, just queue again each time you return . 🗺【Recommended order of play】 🔴 Scenic Railway → 🟢 Rainforest Walkway → 🔵 Cableway → 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway; if you like mountain views, choose the shortest Walkway route, then quickly take the 🔵 Cableway to the visitor center to switch to the 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway

📍SAVE $$$ - all the info here 👇🏼 This was such a fun day in Blue Mountains. Our mission was to spend under $50 which is SO doable considering there is so much to see and do for free, but ended up spending a little extra and it was totally worth it - you’ll see why 👀 🏠 Base yourself at the YHA Blue Mountains. It’s super comfy, affordable and right in town, making it the perfect place to stay. Morning: 🥾 Grand Canyon Hike 6.5km loop, allow 2-3 hours to really enjoy it! Brunch: 🥐 Black Cockatoo bakery Some of the most delicious pastries and coffee. The chocolate croissant was SO good 🤤 Afternoon: 🚂 Scenic World Home to the world’s steepest railway! There’s lots to see and explore, and epic views of the Three Sisters! Sunset: 🌅 Cahill’s Lookout A stunning lookout to watch the sun go down.

Perth's jacarandas are truly on par with Sydney's! The jacaranda blooming season in Perth is slightly later than in Sydney~ When Sydney's flowers start to fade, Perth's are just beginning to bloom. The pink sunset + jacarandas are so beautiful! . Perth rarely rains because of its good weather, so the flowering period tends to last longer~ . There are too many people taking photos under Sydney's beautiful jacarandas, but Perth is quieter (more secluded), so the jacarandas are much more peaceful and undisturbed for now. The photos were taken yesterday evening 📍Strickland Street 📍Tain Street

Every time I check out travel guides for Tasmania, someone always says: "You must self-drive in Tasmania." But if you only have six days and it's your first visit, I actually recommend leaving the driving to someone else. It's not about the difficulty of driving. It's because some of Tasmania's most precious experiences aren't at the destinations, but along the journey. 🌿 1️⃣ Many of Tasmania's scenic views are actually outside the car window. From Hobart heading north, you'll pass through forests, highways, coastlines, and quiet little towns. The most enjoyable moments are when you see a place you like, stop to take a few photos, or simply sit quietly and admire the view outside. If you're driving yourself, your attention will constantly be on speed limits, curves, and navigation. Many beautiful sights will be missed. 🦘 2️⃣ Driving at night in winter requires more caution than you might think. Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife. Especially at dusk, kangaroos and wombats are more likely to come out and roam. Many first-time visitors try to avoid driving at night—not because the roads are difficult, but because you need to stay alert for animals that might suddenly dart out from the roadside. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Staying tense the whole time can take away from the joy of the trip. ☕ 3️⃣ The exhaustion isn't just behind the wheel, but also at the end of the day. For trips like Maria Island, you'll spend most of the day hiking. If you then have to drive for several hours to get back to your hotel, you'll likely be too drained to enjoy the evening. The next day, heading to Cradle Mountain might feel more like ticking off a checklist than truly enjoying the experience. On the other hand, if you can nap in the car and wake up at the next destination, the pace feels much more comfortable. That's why, when planning routes, we always avoid cramming too much driving into the schedule. For a first visit to Tasmania, it's more important to dedicate time to the scenery rather than constantly focusing on navigation. Save your energy for the experiences that truly matter.

In Shanghai, looking for a natural spot with fewer people, fresh air, and some learning? Sheshan National Forest Park is definitely the hidden champion!

Self-driving is recommended, with convenient parking at all attractions. · Tickets: Sheshan Forest Park is free, but small attractions like the Astronomy Museum charge admission. Other nearby parks require separate tickets. · Reservations: The Astronomy Museum and Guangfulin site require advance booking on official platforms. · Attire: Wear comfortable sports shoes for hiking, and take mosquito protection when walking in the forest (less in winter). Sheshan National Forest Park breaks Shanghai’s stereotype of “only skyscrapers.” Here, nature, science, history, and art are within reach, making it an excellent outdoor classroom to cultivate children’s comprehensive qualities.

When city light pollution obscures the starry sky, a child's childhood loses a vast realm of imagination. This winter, I took my child to a place known as "China's Most Beautiful Starry Sky" — Bayinbuluke. This is not just a grassland but also an international dark sky park. In winter, the extreme cold brings crystal-clear skies, with the Milky Way stretching across the horizon, seemingly within reach. 🌌 Why is winter the best season for stargazing? Clear air: Cold air sinks, reducing moisture and dust in the atmosphere, making the starry sky exceptionally clear and bright. Long nights: Early sunsets mean stars appear earlier, so kids don’t have to stay up too late. Visible Milky Way core: Although the Milky Way is less dazzling in winter than in summer, winter constellations are bright, the starry sky is equally splendid, and classic celestial bodies like Orion and the Pleiades are easier to observe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Beginner’s guide to family stargazing (even with zero experience) Don’t worry if you don’t know astronomy; this is a perfect opportunity for early education. Preparation (knowledge introduction): · Download star map apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Guide to identify constellations just by pointing your phone. · Tell your child one or two Greek mythology stories about constellations to make it more fun. On-site activities: Connect the stars: Use a star pointer (be careful not to shine it in others’ eyes or at airplanes) or a laser pointer to "draw" constellations in the sky with your child. Find the brightest star: Compete to see who spots Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky) or Mars (the red planet) first. Wish on shooting stars: Winter sometimes brings the Quadrantids meteor shower, and even on regular nights, random meteors are easy to spot under a pure night sky. 📍 Stargazing locations and practical tips Best spots: Near your hotel or guesthouse, just find an open area away from streetlights. The Jiǔqū Shíbāwān (Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns) viewing platform is top-notch but closed at night. Safety first—no need to venture into dangerous places. Timing: About 1.5 hours after sunset when the sky is fully dark is the best time to start. Observe for about an hour, watch your child’s comfort level, and return indoors as needed. Warmth strategy (nighttime upgrade): In addition to the gear mentioned in the fifth article, add: Thick-soled snow boots: Keeping feet warm is key for endurance. Sit-able moisture-proof mat: Blocks ground cold and makes sitting while looking up comfortable. Headlamp (red light mode): Red light minimally affects vision, convenient for moving around without ruining night vision. 📸 Simple family star photography tutorial Want to capture the memory? A smartphone is enough. Phone settings: · Use professional mode or download apps like NightCap. · Suggested settings: ISO at maximum (3200 or 6400), shutter speed 15-30 seconds, focus set to infinity. · Always use a tripod! This is crucial for success. · Use a headphone cable or Bluetooth remote as a shutter to avoid shaking from pressing the button. Creative shots: Let kids "paint with light" on the snow using a flashlight, or take family silhouette photos with the starry sky as the backdrop—heartwarming and unforgettable. 🛏️ Warm basecamp: Recommended stargazing hotels A place to quickly warm up in the cold is essential: Bayinbuluke Tianhe Source Hotel: Some rooms offer wide views and ample heating. Bayinbuluke Grassland Pearl Hotel: Convenient location, a reliable choice in town. Choosing guesthouses: Use platforms like Trip.com to filter highly rated local guesthouses. Sometimes you get warmer local hospitality, and the host might even take you to better stargazing spots. 🚗 Three-day starry sky itinerary proposal Day 1: Arrive in Bayinbuluke in the afternoon, acclimate to the cold, rest early. Day 2: Visit Swan Home during the day, watch the sunset at Jiǔqū Shíbāwān in the evening, and have your first stargazing experience at night. Day 3: Visit nearby Gongnaisi Forest Park (check road conditions) to see snowy forests, then do a second stargazing session at night where kids will identify even more stars. Under Bayinbuluke’s starry sky, time and cold seem to freeze. At that moment, what you share with your child is not just the vast stars but an endless curiosity and longing for the universe. This journey is destined to shine.

Discover a hidden gem just 30 minutes from downtown Suzhou! It gathers all the beautiful winter imaginations: hot springs, picking, forest hiking, artistic villages… The key is that it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect for families wanting a relaxing weekend outing with kids. 🚗 Our winter weekend at Shushan This time the destination is Shushan Scenic Area. It’s not a single attraction but a comprehensive ecological village made up of tea gardens, bamboo forests, boardwalks, hot springs, and ancient villages. In winter, there’s no sense of decay here, but rather a calm and warm energy. 🎨 One-day slow travel highlights (can be split) · Morning: Forest oxygen hike → Start from the wooden boardwalk entrance of Shushan Village, about 3 kilometers with gentle slopes. Along the way are tall bamboo groves and bayberry forests, with fresh air.

Recommended are “Quanlin Farmhouse” or “Gejiawu Farmhouse,” must-try dishes are herbal chicken soup and braised radish. · Afternoon: Double enjoyment → Family picking: Visit a nearby strawberry greenhouse to experience the joy of winter picking; the strawberries are big and sweet. Hot spring therapy: Stay or book a private hot spring at a hot spring guesthouse, soaking under the starry sky to wash away the cold— the ultimate winter indulgence. 🌟 Shushan is more than just Shushan (surrounding linked activities) To enrich your itinerary, you can combine like this: · Artistic and historical line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Museum West Branch (20-minute drive, an indoor treasure, free visit by reservation). · Natural wild fun line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Taihu National Wetland Park (30-minute drive, see reed marshes and pandas). · Ancient town leisure line: Shushan Scenic Area + Hushu Ancient Town (a reviving ancient town, few people, very comfortable for tea and shopping). 🛏️ Top-notch beautiful stays nestled in scenery The core area of Shushan gathers a group of highly designed guesthouses, private hot springs are standard: Dusit Thani Health Resort Suzhou: Thai luxury style, with a large outdoor hot spring park and rich family activities, a one-stop vacation choice. Shushan Shuxiang Shijia Hot Spring Hotel Suzhou: Suzhou garden style, rooms come with private hot spring pools, very private.

Boardwalk hiking is free. · Reservation: Weekend hot spring guesthouses are in high demand, be sure to book in advance on platforms like Trip.com. · Gear: Wear non-slip shoes for hiking, bring an extra set of clothes for kids to change after hot springs. · Best time: Early morning after rain when the bamboo forest is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. This is a relaxing place where the whole family can find joy. At Shushan Scenic Area, winter is not dormancy but another form of vibrant life.

Love the beach or simply enjoy discovering unique places? Head out of the city! Just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, you’ll find the iconic Brighton bathing boxes on Dendy Street beach (all 93 of them!), one different from the other. These are from the Victorian era, used by swimmers as changing rooms to keep their modesty. Nowadays, local owners use them to store beach equipment or as relaxing retreats by the water. If swimming in chilly waters isn’t your thing, grab a coffee and take a leisurely stroll along the beach, admiring the colourful boxes up close. Continue along the shoreline, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bay views and, in the distance, the striking silhouette of Melbourne’s CBD far beyond the horizon. #melbourne #brightonbeach

Slow solo morning at @langhammelbourne Long hot bath, fluffy robe, and room service in bed because leaving the room was not the vibe. Croissants, danishes, fresh fruit, and a strong coffee while the city did its thing outside, and I just stayed wrapped up in my little bubble. Romanticising my own company will always be my favourite 🥰

The sea was sparkling from the morning, and the weather was perfect ☀️ Day 2 was all about soaking in island time... so relaxing 🥹✨ 📍Angel Road 🌊 A mysterious spot where a path appears on the sea only during low tide! The view from the bell tower above is breathtaking—you could stare at it forever 🔔 *Make sure to check the tide table before visiting◎ (Off-season is relatively quiet, almost like having the place to yourself.) 📍Yokai Museum 👻 @meipamyokai Admission fee: 2,900 yen A museum combining "Yokai" (Japanese folklore monsters) and art, utilizing old houses and warehouses. You explore four buildings as part of the experience, which reportedly takes about an hour. We decided to skip it this time, but I’ll definitely visit next time! 🙄 📍Coffee Shop World ☕️ A retro café loved by locals, perfect for a cozy break. Their fluffy sandwiches and egg toast sandwiches filled both my stomach and heart... 🍞 I really love places like this 🤭 📍Shodoshima Olive Garden 🫒 @shodoshima_olive_en__1st_olive Stopped by to pick up souvenirs. Along with olive products, I bought herb garlic and OLISCO. Tried them at home, and everything was delicious! 📍A hidden gem we stumbled upon (by the sea) 🌅 The combination of the breakwater and Setouchi Blue was so refreshing. Just staring at the sea and zoning out felt like the ultimate luxury 😮💨✨ 📍Minato Dining (right by Fukuda Port) 🍲 A warm eatery run by a sweet grandma. The cozy interior with a stove was so relaxing◎ After much deliberation, I ordered: ⚫︎ Nabeyaki Ramen (800 yen)! Packed with chicken, egg, chikuwa, and bean sprouts, it was super filling! Delicious and comforting 😍 Perfect way to end the trip. 📍Fukuda Port → Himeji Port 🚢 @shodoshimaferry Enjoyed a leisurely ferry ride back. The sea remained beautiful till the end, making me want to visit again 😌🌊 Day 2 was all about "sea × retro × laid-back travel" 🫶🏻 Off-season meant fewer tourists and a more relaxed vibe ☻ Highly recommended!

Just got back from Shangri-La, and some hard truths must be told 💔✨ Shangri-La in November is truly beautiful, but the pitfalls are real too! Read this and I guarantee fewer travel mishaps~ First lesson on the plateau: either your body or your soul must be on the road​ Shangri-La’s altitude is ridiculously high; on the first day, altitude sickness taught me a hard lesson 😵‍💫🌬️ Headache so bad I questioned my life, didn’t even have the energy to put on makeup! Locals laugh and say, “Don’t try to be tough here, slow is the way.” ✅ Blood and tears advice: Drink Rhodiola three days before departure, and don’t wash your hair or shower right after arrival! Layer a down jacket with a windbreaker; the temperature difference between morning and night will make you experience all four seasons in one day 🌞❄️ Apply sunscreen thickly, the UV rays will give you a plateau sunburn in no time! Accommodation traps: Old Town guesthouses look great in photos, but your suitcase will suffer​ Tibetan-style guesthouses in Dukezong Old Town are definitely photogenic 📸🌄 But dragging a suitcase on the cobblestone streets nearly wrecked my wheels! Luckily, I chose a guesthouse that offers luggage check-in service, otherwise it would have been a nightmare from the start… ✅ Smart choice: When booking, filter out “no elevator” and “steep climb” options, prioritize the edges of the Old Town for quiet and cheaper stays. Remember to pick a room with a humidifier; the dryness is no joke—you’ll wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 💦🔥 (Don’t ask me how I know) Attraction tips: Save money with these quick hacks!​ Songzanlin Monastery: Don’t foolishly buy the 90 RMB ticket online! Go straight to the manual ticket window, tickets plus shuttle bus only cost 55 RMB 🕶️🙏 You can get a free blessing with a prayer bracelet at the mountaintop hall, but remember to be quiet and respectful, don’t snap photos wildly of the monks~ Napahai Lake: Never search “Napahai” directly on navigation! Otherwise, you’ll definitely be taken to a paid horse ranch 💸🐎 The correct way is to search “Huanhu Road,” take bus No. 12 around the lake, and enjoy free views of waterfowl, meadows, and snow-capped mountains—breathtakingly beautiful 🦢🌊 (Riding horses? Ask the price clearly before mounting!) Potatso National Park: November’s colorful forests look like a spilled palette 🏞️🍂 But bring an oxygen tank for hiking! I stubbornly didn’t, and was gasping after just a few steps… The park has lots of little bugs, spray mosquito repellent generously! Transportation insider: The battle between charter cars and buses​ Shangri-La’s attractions are scattered, and bus schedules are pitifully sparse 😭 Carpooling with friends is the most cost-effective, but never trust airport black taxis! Book a car in advance on Trip.com; local drivers often double as guides, telling fascinating Tibetan stories along the way~ ✅ Money-saving bonus: There’s a direct shuttle from Dukezong Old Town to Potatso, buying the ticket plus park entrance as a package saves you enough for a hotpot meal 🍲💃 (Don’t say I didn’t tell you!) Food hits and misses: Yak meat hotpot is legendary, but some trendy restaurants disappoint​ A certain popular Tibetan restaurant in the Old Town had a one-hour wait, but the yak meat was so tough it got stuck in my teeth 🦷⚡ Then I found a small alley restaurant called “Lixing Specialty Tibetan Cuisine,” where the hotpot broth was incredibly fresh, and the barley cakes dipped in butter tea were so good I licked the plate! ✅ Must-eat list: Yak meat hotpot (about 80 RMB per person), roadside mom’s freshly baked barley cakes, yogurt sprinkled with sugar… Warning! If you have a weak stomach, don’t try raw dairy products—trust me, it’s a half-day bathroom tour 🚽💨 November’s exclusive romance: Few people, stunning scenery, like having the place to yourself​ This season in Shangri-La is full of hidden perks! Migratory birds flock at Napahai, morning mist swirls around the golden roof of Songzanlin Monastery, no crowds fighting for spots at the prayer wheels in Dukezong Old Town… At night, dance the Guozhuang with Tibetan aunties, and when cold, retreat to a teahouse for butter tea, instantly healing all fatigue 💫🌟 Most unforgettable was stargazing at Guishan Park, the Milky Way shining like special effects—at that moment, I suddenly understood what “the sun and moon in the heart” means 🌌💖 Ultimate tips: Listen to these before you go​ ▪️ Step over temple thresholds, don’t step on them! Turn prayer wheels clockwise~ ▪️ Buy souvenirs at local markets, compare prices for Tibetan silver jewelry, don’t impulse buy! ▪️ Bring colorful scarves and sunglasses, they brighten your photos and protect from wind! ▪️ Slow your pace: when it rains on the plateau, stay cozy in the guesthouse by the fire; when it’s sunny, rush outside—being spontaneous is the right way to enjoy Shangri-La! Autumn in Shangri-La is a dream with lasting impact 🍁 Even after returning, flipping through photos still makes my heart flutter… Here’s the guide, the rest is for you to experience in person! 💃❤️🔥

If there’s only one thing you do this spring, let it be watching a sunset in one of Adelaide’s most popular sunset lookouts 😍 📍Mount Osmond Lookout It’s looking absolutely sensational right with all the flowers in bloom! Ughhh what a way to end a day 🥹✨ But it does get soooo busy so do head out there early! You can park along Hayward Dr and walk along an easy trail to get to the lookout. This is your sign to go! #southaustralia #sunsetplaces

From the hotel, we could see Sydney Tower, constantly surrounded by its presence. By chance, we stumbled upon its ground floor entrance and decided to go up and take a look! We purchased instant confirmation tickets online and followed the signs to the fifth floor. Unexpectedly, we took a photo for verification and joined the tourists heading towards the elevator. Finally, someone asked if we had tickets, and after scanning our e-tickets, we smoothly made our way upstairs! It was just the right time for the sunset, offering a golden view of Sydney Harbour, a glimpse of the Opera House, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, and more! The city lights slowly began to illuminate the nightscape. Sometimes, accidental encounters lead to wonderful experiences!

If you’re looking for adrenaline just outside of Sydney, abseiling in the Blue Mountains is the ultimate day out. 🏞️🧗♀️ We tackled cliffs up to 30 metres high, rappelling down sheer rock faces with epic views over the Jamison Valley. Whether you’re a beginner or thrill-seeker, most tours start small (around 5–10m descents) and build up to the big drops — with expert guides coaching you every step of the way. And the reward? Unreal panoramas, heart-pounding fun, and a massive sense of accomplishment. 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park (tours often depart from Katoomba) 🚗 Getting there: ~2 hrs drive/train from Sydney 🧢 What to bring: Activewear, closed shoes, water, courage! Abseiling is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains — from a whole new perspective. #tripcom #bluemountains #abseilingaustralia #outdooradventure #explorensw #visitaustralia #katoomba #naturelovers #thrillseekers #epicviews #sydneydaytrip

Tasmania was one of those places that completely changed my idea of Australia. Before visiting, I imagined it would mainly be about mountains and wildlife, but once I arrived, I discovered a much more diverse landscape—rugged coastlines, crystal-clear beaches, dramatic mountains, peaceful lakes and charming little towns. What I loved most was how untouched many parts of Tasmania felt. I started my journey in Hobart, where I enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere and explored the city's historic streets. Compared with Melbourne and Sydney, Hobart felt much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted after spending time in bigger cities. From Hobart, I headed out to explore Tasmania's incredible natural scenery. 🌊 Freycinet National Park One of my favorite places was Freycinet National Park. The first time I saw Wineglass Bay from the lookout, I honestly couldn't believe the colors. The curved white beach, turquoise water and surrounding mountains created one of the most beautiful coastal views I've experienced in Australia. The hike to the lookout wasn't particularly long, but I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes and taking your time. I stayed at the viewpoint longer than expected because the scenery kept changing as the sunlight moved across the bay. 🏔️ Cradle Mountain Another highlight was Cradle Mountain. The landscape here felt completely different from the coastline. There were alpine trails, ancient forests, rocky peaks and peaceful lakes. Even though the weather changed quickly, that actually made the scenery feel even more dramatic. I remember standing beside Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. The water was incredibly calm, and for a few minutes there was almost complete silence. That was one of those travel moments that photographs simply can't fully capture. 🐧 Wildlife & Wild Coastlines Tasmania also surprised me with its wildlife. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter wallabies, wombats, echidnas and even little penguins. Seeing wildlife in a natural environment rather than behind glass was one of the experiences I appreciated most. The coastline was another highlight. Places like Bay of Fires offered completely different scenery again, with white sand, clear blue water and striking orange-red rocks along the coast. 📍 My Tasmania Travel Tips 🚗 Rent a car if possible. Tasmania is much easier to explore independently, especially if you want to visit national parks and remote coastal areas. 🥾 Bring proper hiking shoes. Even shorter trails can become muddy or slippery depending on the weather. 🌦️ Always check the weather before hiking. Conditions can change quickly, especially around Cradle Mountain. 🧥 Pack layers. Even during warmer months, mornings and evenings can feel surprisingly cold. 📸 Allow extra time for photography. Tasmania is full of unexpected viewpoints, and rushing between attractions would be a shame. 🦘 Drive carefully at dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be active around roads, particularly outside the main towns. 🗺️ Don't try to see everything in a short trip. Tasmania looks manageable on a map, but driving between different regions takes time. ❤️ My Experience What stayed with me most about Tasmania wasn't one particular attraction. It was the feeling of space. There were moments when I was driving through empty roads with mountains in the distance, stopping beside a lake with nobody around, or standing on a beach listening to nothing but the waves. Tasmania felt slower, quieter and more raw than many other places I'd visited in Australia. If you're looking for a destination where you can combine road trips, hiking, wildlife, mountains, beaches and incredible scenery, Tasmania is somewhere I'd definitely recommend. And if you have enough time, don't rush it. Tasmania is a place to explore slowly. 🚗 Tasmania Quick Guide 📍 Main Gateway: Hobart / Launceston

Why do people avoid the Blue Mountains in Sydney? (Just curious, no offense) If you have to compare the Blue Mountains with the Three Mountains and Five Great Mountains in China, there’s absolutely no comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But in Australia, the Blue Mountains are a landmark attraction of Sydney! The air quality is excellent, known as a natural oxygen bar! After visiting, I just want to say: Tell Sydney, I’m not coming back 😉 But if you don’t plan well, you won’t understand how to enjoy the cable cars + forest walkways! . 🕳️Here are some of the easiest pitfalls to fall into👇 ❌ Trap 1: Not checking the weather in advance! On rainy or overcast days, the Three Sisters disappear, and your photo plans are ruined ❌ Trap 2: Not studying the routes, guessing how to connect the three types of cable cars ❌ Trap 3: Poor time planning, waiting in line until you lose your mind . ⭐【How to get there】 🚗 Self-driving: Park for free at Scenic Skyway Parking, the entrance and ticket office are right outside the parking lot 🚌 For those without a car, day tours: daily departures, book in advance near holidays . 🚡【How to enjoy the three cable cars + forest walkways❓】 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway Panoramic glass cabins, crossing the valley 270m high, with a full view of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls! On sunny days, the whole canyon is covered by a light blue mist 🔴 Scenic Railway One of the steepest forest railways in the world, plunging down the mountain at a 52° angle. Although not fast, the feeling of being “pulled into the rainforest” is thrilling 🔵 Cableway A super large cable car that can hold many people! Staff provide fun and humorous commentary about the surrounding scenery 🌳 Walkway Stroll through the rainforest 🚶 The entire path is a wooden boardwalk, very flat, suitable for kids and strollers! There are also displays of minerals and coal Ps. All cable cars can be ridden unlimited times, just queue again each time you return . 🗺【Recommended order of play】 🔴 Scenic Railway → 🟢 Rainforest Walkway → 🔵 Cableway → 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway; if you like mountain views, choose the shortest Walkway route, then quickly take the 🔵 Cableway to the visitor center to switch to the 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway

📍SAVE $$$ - all the info here 👇🏼 This was such a fun day in Blue Mountains. Our mission was to spend under $50 which is SO doable considering there is so much to see and do for free, but ended up spending a little extra and it was totally worth it - you’ll see why 👀 🏠 Base yourself at the YHA Blue Mountains. It’s super comfy, affordable and right in town, making it the perfect place to stay. Morning: 🥾 Grand Canyon Hike 6.5km loop, allow 2-3 hours to really enjoy it! Brunch: 🥐 Black Cockatoo bakery Some of the most delicious pastries and coffee. The chocolate croissant was SO good 🤤 Afternoon: 🚂 Scenic World Home to the world’s steepest railway! There’s lots to see and explore, and epic views of the Three Sisters! Sunset: 🌅 Cahill’s Lookout A stunning lookout to watch the sun go down.

Perth's jacarandas are truly on par with Sydney's! The jacaranda blooming season in Perth is slightly later than in Sydney~ When Sydney's flowers start to fade, Perth's are just beginning to bloom. The pink sunset + jacarandas are so beautiful! . Perth rarely rains because of its good weather, so the flowering period tends to last longer~ . There are too many people taking photos under Sydney's beautiful jacarandas, but Perth is quieter (more secluded), so the jacarandas are much more peaceful and undisturbed for now. The photos were taken yesterday evening 📍Strickland Street 📍Tain Street

Every time I check out travel guides for Tasmania, someone always says: "You must self-drive in Tasmania." But if you only have six days and it's your first visit, I actually recommend leaving the driving to someone else. It's not about the difficulty of driving. It's because some of Tasmania's most precious experiences aren't at the destinations, but along the journey. 🌿 1️⃣ Many of Tasmania's scenic views are actually outside the car window. From Hobart heading north, you'll pass through forests, highways, coastlines, and quiet little towns. The most enjoyable moments are when you see a place you like, stop to take a few photos, or simply sit quietly and admire the view outside. If you're driving yourself, your attention will constantly be on speed limits, curves, and navigation. Many beautiful sights will be missed. 🦘 2️⃣ Driving at night in winter requires more caution than you might think. Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife. Especially at dusk, kangaroos and wombats are more likely to come out and roam. Many first-time visitors try to avoid driving at night—not because the roads are difficult, but because you need to stay alert for animals that might suddenly dart out from the roadside. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Staying tense the whole time can take away from the joy of the trip. ☕ 3️⃣ The exhaustion isn't just behind the wheel, but also at the end of the day. For trips like Maria Island, you'll spend most of the day hiking. If you then have to drive for several hours to get back to your hotel, you'll likely be too drained to enjoy the evening. The next day, heading to Cradle Mountain might feel more like ticking off a checklist than truly enjoying the experience. On the other hand, if you can nap in the car and wake up at the next destination, the pace feels much more comfortable. That's why, when planning routes, we always avoid cramming too much driving into the schedule. For a first visit to Tasmania, it's more important to dedicate time to the scenery rather than constantly focusing on navigation. Save your energy for the experiences that truly matter.

Self-driving is recommended, with convenient parking at all attractions. · Tickets: Sheshan Forest Park is free, but small attractions like the Astronomy Museum charge admission. Other nearby parks require separate tickets. · Reservations: The Astronomy Museum and Guangfulin site require advance booking on official platforms. · Attire: Wear comfortable sports shoes for hiking, and take mosquito protection when walking in the forest (less in winter).

When city light pollution obscures the starry sky, a child's childhood loses a vast realm of imagination. This winter, I took my child to a place known as "China's Most Beautiful Starry Sky" — Bayinbuluke. This is not just a grassland but also an international dark sky park. In winter, the extreme cold brings crystal-clear skies, with the Milky Way stretching across the horizon, seemingly within reach. 🌌 Why is winter the best season for stargazing? Clear air: Cold air sinks, reducing moisture and dust in the atmosphere, making the starry sky exceptionally clear and bright. Long nights: Early sunsets mean stars appear earlier, so kids don’t have to stay up too late. Visible Milky Way core: Although the Milky Way is less dazzling in winter than in summer, winter constellations are bright, the starry sky is equally splendid, and classic celestial bodies like Orion and the Pleiades are easier to observe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Beginner’s guide to family stargazing (even with zero experience) Don’t worry if you don’t know astronomy; this is a perfect opportunity for early education. Preparation (knowledge introduction): · Download star map apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Guide to identify constellations just by pointing your phone. · Tell your child one or two Greek mythology stories about constellations to make it more fun. On-site activities: Connect the stars: Use a star pointer (be careful not to shine it in others’ eyes or at airplanes) or a laser pointer to "draw" constellations in the sky with your child. Find the brightest star: Compete to see who spots Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky) or Mars (the red planet) first. Wish on shooting stars: Winter sometimes brings the Quadrantids meteor shower, and even on regular nights, random meteors are easy to spot under a pure night sky. 📍 Stargazing locations and practical tips Best spots: Near your hotel or guesthouse, just find an open area away from streetlights. The Jiǔqū Shíbāwān (Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns) viewing platform is top-notch but closed at night. Safety first—no need to venture into dangerous places. Timing: About 1.5 hours after sunset when the sky is fully dark is the best time to start. Observe for about an hour, watch your child’s comfort level, and return indoors as needed. Warmth strategy (nighttime upgrade): In addition to the gear mentioned in the fifth article, add: Thick-soled snow boots: Keeping feet warm is key for endurance. Sit-able moisture-proof mat: Blocks ground cold and makes sitting while looking up comfortable. Headlamp (red light mode): Red light minimally affects vision, convenient for moving around without ruining night vision. 📸 Simple family star photography tutorial Want to capture the memory? A smartphone is enough. Phone settings: · Use professional mode or download apps like NightCap. · Suggested settings: ISO at maximum (3200 or 6400), shutter speed 15-30 seconds, focus set to infinity. · Always use a tripod! This is crucial for success. · Use a headphone cable or Bluetooth remote as a shutter to avoid shaking from pressing the button. Creative shots: Let kids "paint with light" on the snow using a flashlight, or take family silhouette photos with the starry sky as the backdrop—heartwarming and unforgettable. 🛏️ Warm basecamp: Recommended stargazing hotels A place to quickly warm up in the cold is essential: Bayinbuluke Tianhe Source Hotel: Some rooms offer wide views and ample heating. Bayinbuluke Grassland Pearl Hotel: Convenient location, a reliable choice in town. Choosing guesthouses: Use platforms like Trip.com to filter highly rated local guesthouses. Sometimes you get warmer local hospitality, and the host might even take you to better stargazing spots. 🚗 Three-day starry sky itinerary proposal Day 1: Arrive in Bayinbuluke in the afternoon, acclimate to the cold, rest early. Day 2: Visit Swan Home during the day, watch the sunset at Jiǔqū Shíbāwān in the evening, and have your first stargazing experience at night. Day 3: Visit nearby Gongnaisi Forest Park (check road conditions) to see snowy forests, then do a second stargazing session at night where kids will identify even more stars. Under Bayinbuluke’s starry sky, time and cold seem to freeze. At that moment, what you share with your child is not just the vast stars but an endless curiosity and longing for the universe. This journey is destined to shine.

Discover a hidden gem just 30 minutes from downtown Suzhou! It gathers all the beautiful winter imaginations: hot springs, picking, forest hiking, artistic villages… The key is that it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect for families wanting a relaxing weekend outing with kids. 🚗 Our winter weekend at Shushan This time the destination is Shushan Scenic Area. It’s not a single attraction but a comprehensive ecological village made up of tea gardens, bamboo forests, boardwalks, hot springs, and ancient villages. In winter, there’s no sense of decay here, but rather a calm and warm energy. 🎨 One-day slow travel highlights (can be split) · Morning: Forest oxygen hike → Start from the wooden boardwalk entrance of Shushan Village, about 3 kilometers with gentle slopes. Along the way are tall bamboo groves and bayberry forests, with fresh air. Give the kids a task: find moss, pine cones, and strange tree roots. · Noon: Farmhouse meal to warm the stomach → After descending, eat at a farmhouse restaurant in the village. Recommended are “Quanlin Farmhouse” or “Gejiawu Farmhouse,” must-try dishes are herbal chicken soup and braised radish. · Afternoon: Double enjoyment → Family picking: Visit a nearby strawberry greenhouse to experience the joy of winter picking; the strawberries are big and sweet. Hot spring therapy: Stay or book a private hot spring at a hot spring guesthouse, soaking under the starry sky to wash away the cold— the ultimate winter indulgence. 🌟 Shushan is more than just Shushan (surrounding linked activities) To enrich your itinerary, you can combine like this: · Artistic and historical line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Museum West Branch (20-minute drive, an indoor treasure, free visit by reservation). · Natural wild fun line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Taihu National Wetland Park (30-minute drive, see reed marshes and pandas). · Ancient town leisure line: Shushan Scenic Area + Hushu Ancient Town (a reviving ancient town, few people, very comfortable for tea and shopping). 🛏️ Top-notch beautiful stays nestled in scenery The core area of Shushan gathers a group of highly designed guesthouses, private hot springs are standard: Dusit Thani Health Resort Suzhou: Thai luxury style, with a large outdoor hot spring park and rich family activities, a one-stop vacation choice. Shushan Shuxiang Shijia Hot Spring Hotel Suzhou: Suzhou garden style, rooms come with private hot spring pools, very private. Yuanshe Yunquan Hot Spring Boutique Hotel Suzhou: Representative of design guesthouses, minimalist wabi-sabi style, beautiful public areas, hot springs in rooms. Huajiantang Yunquan (Suzhou Shushan Branch): Brand assurance, attentive service, pet-friendly, many family room options. 🍜 Local food search guide Besides farmhouse meals, there are these options: · Popular cafes: “Jieshi Academy” or “Breathing Forest,” enjoy a hot latte by the bamboo forest, full of atmosphere. · Specialty snacks: The “vegetarian noodles” near Dayang Mountain are famous, such as “Wenshu Temple Wisdom Noodle House,” light and delicious. · Su cuisine: For something more formal, drive to Suzhou New District commercial area for more choices. 📌 Must-see tips before the trip · Transportation: Navigate to “Shushan Ecological Village Visitor Center,” there is a large parking lot. Boardwalk hiking is free. · Reservation: Weekend hot spring guesthouses are in high demand, be sure to book in advance on platforms like Trip.com. · Gear: Wear non-slip shoes for hiking, bring an extra set of clothes for kids to change after hot springs. · Best time: Early morning after rain when the bamboo forest is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. This is a relaxing place where the whole family can find joy. At Shushan Scenic Area, winter is not dormancy but another form of vibrant life.

Love the beach or simply enjoy discovering unique places? Head out of the city! Just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, you’ll find the iconic Brighton bathing boxes on Dendy Street beach (all 93 of them!), one different from the other. These are from the Victorian era, used by swimmers as changing rooms to keep their modesty. Nowadays, local owners use them to store beach equipment or as relaxing retreats by the water. If swimming in chilly waters isn’t your thing, grab a coffee and take a leisurely stroll along the beach, admiring the colourful boxes up close. Continue along the shoreline, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bay views and, in the distance, the striking silhouette of Melbourne’s CBD far beyond the horizon. #melbourne #brightonbeach

Slow solo morning at @langhammelbourne Long hot bath, fluffy robe, and room service in bed because leaving the room was not the vibe. Croissants, danishes, fresh fruit, and a strong coffee while the city did its thing outside, and I just stayed wrapped up in my little bubble. Romanticising my own company will always be my favourite 🥰

The sea was sparkling from the morning, and the weather was perfect ☀️ Day 2 was all about soaking in island time... so relaxing 🥹✨ 📍Angel Road 🌊 A mysterious spot where a path appears on the sea only during low tide! The view from the bell tower above is breathtaking—you could stare at it forever 🔔 *Make sure to check the tide table before visiting◎ (Off-season is relatively quiet, almost like having the place to yourself.) 📍Yokai Museum 👻 @meipamyokai Admission fee: 2,900 yen A museum combining "Yokai" (Japanese folklore monsters) and art, utilizing old houses and warehouses. You explore four buildings as part of the experience, which reportedly takes about an hour. We decided to skip it this time, but I’ll definitely visit next time! 🙄 📍Coffee Shop World ☕️ A retro café loved by locals, perfect for a cozy break. Their fluffy sandwiches and egg toast sandwiches filled both my stomach and heart... 🍞 I really love places like this 🤭 📍Shodoshima Olive Garden 🫒 @shodoshima_olive_en__1st_olive Stopped by to pick up souvenirs. Along with olive products, I bought herb garlic and OLISCO. Tried them at home, and everything was delicious! 📍A hidden gem we stumbled upon (by the sea) 🌅 The combination of the breakwater and Setouchi Blue was so refreshing. Just staring at the sea and zoning out felt like the ultimate luxury 😮💨✨ 📍Minato Dining (right by Fukuda Port) 🍲 A warm eatery run by a sweet grandma. The cozy interior with a stove was so relaxing◎ After much deliberation, I ordered: ⚫︎ Nabeyaki Ramen (800 yen)! Packed with chicken, egg, chikuwa, and bean sprouts, it was super filling! Delicious and comforting 😍 Perfect way to end the trip. 📍Fukuda Port → Himeji Port 🚢 @shodoshimaferry Enjoyed a leisurely ferry ride back. The sea remained beautiful till the end, making me want to visit again 😌🌊 Day 2 was all about "sea × retro × laid-back travel" 🫶🏻 Off-season meant fewer tourists and a more relaxed vibe ☻ Highly recommended!

Just got back from Shangri-La, and some hard truths must be told 💔✨ Shangri-La in November is truly beautiful, but the pitfalls are real too! Read this and I guarantee fewer travel mishaps~ First lesson on the plateau: either your body or your soul must be on the road​ Shangri-La’s altitude is ridiculously high; on the first day, altitude sickness taught me a hard lesson 😵‍💫🌬️ Headache so bad I questioned my life, didn’t even have the energy to put on makeup! Locals laugh and say, “Don’t try to be tough here, slow is the way.” ✅ Blood and tears advice: Drink Rhodiola three days before departure, and don’t wash your hair or shower right after arrival! Layer a down jacket with a windbreaker; the temperature difference between morning and night will make you experience all four seasons in one day 🌞❄️ Apply sunscreen thickly, the UV rays will give you a plateau sunburn in no time! Accommodation traps: Old Town guesthouses look great in photos, but your suitcase will suffer​ Tibetan-style guesthouses in Dukezong Old Town are definitely photogenic 📸🌄 But dragging a suitcase on the cobblestone streets nearly wrecked my wheels! Luckily, I chose a guesthouse that offers luggage check-in service, otherwise it would have been a nightmare from the start… ✅ Smart choice: When booking, filter out “no elevator” and “steep climb” options, prioritize the edges of the Old Town for quiet and cheaper stays. Remember to pick a room with a humidifier; the dryness is no joke—you’ll wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 💦🔥 (Don’t ask me how I know) Attraction tips: Save money with these quick hacks!​ Songzanlin Monastery: Don’t foolishly buy the 90 RMB ticket online! Go straight to the manual ticket window, tickets plus shuttle bus only cost 55 RMB 🕶️🙏 You can get a free blessing with a prayer bracelet at the mountaintop hall, but remember to be quiet and respectful, don’t snap photos wildly of the monks~ Napahai Lake: Never search “Napahai” directly on navigation! Otherwise, you’ll definitely be taken to a paid horse ranch 💸🐎 The correct way is to search “Huanhu Road,” take bus No. 12 around the lake, and enjoy free views of waterfowl, meadows, and snow-capped mountains—breathtakingly beautiful 🦢🌊 (Riding horses? Ask the price clearly before mounting!) Potatso National Park: November’s colorful forests look like a spilled palette 🏞️🍂 But bring an oxygen tank for hiking! I stubbornly didn’t, and was gasping after just a few steps… The park has lots of little bugs, spray mosquito repellent generously! Transportation insider: The battle between charter cars and buses​ Shangri-La’s attractions are scattered, and bus schedules are pitifully sparse 😭 Carpooling with friends is the most cost-effective, but never trust airport black taxis! Book a car in advance on Trip.com; local drivers often double as guides, telling fascinating Tibetan stories along the way~ ✅ Money-saving bonus: There’s a direct shuttle from Dukezong Old Town to Potatso, buying the ticket plus park entrance as a package saves you enough for a hotpot meal 🍲💃 (Don’t say I didn’t tell you!) Food hits and misses: Yak meat hotpot is legendary, but some trendy restaurants disappoint​ A certain popular Tibetan restaurant in the Old Town had a one-hour wait, but the yak meat was so tough it got stuck in my teeth 🦷⚡ Then I found a small alley restaurant called “Lixing Specialty Tibetan Cuisine,” where the hotpot broth was incredibly fresh, and the barley cakes dipped in butter tea were so good I licked the plate! ✅ Must-eat list: Yak meat hotpot (about 80 RMB per person), roadside mom’s freshly baked barley cakes, yogurt sprinkled with sugar… Warning! If you have a weak stomach, don’t try raw dairy products—trust me, it’s a half-day bathroom tour 🚽💨 November’s exclusive romance: Few people, stunning scenery, like having the place to yourself​ This season in Shangri-La is full of hidden perks! Migratory birds flock at Napahai, morning mist swirls around the golden roof of Songzanlin Monastery, no crowds fighting for spots at the prayer wheels in Dukezong Old Town… At night, dance the Guozhuang with Tibetan aunties, and when cold, retreat to a teahouse for butter tea, instantly healing all fatigue 💫🌟 Most unforgettable was stargazing at Guishan Park, the Milky Way shining like special effects—at that moment, I suddenly understood what “the sun and moon in the heart” means 🌌💖 Ultimate tips: Listen to these before you go​ ▪️ Step over temple thresholds, don’t step on them! Turn prayer wheels clockwise~ ▪️ Buy souvenirs at local markets, compare prices for Tibetan silver jewelry, don’t impulse buy! ▪️ Bring colorful scarves and sunglasses, they brighten your photos and protect from wind! ▪️ Slow your pace: when it rains on the plateau, stay cozy in the guesthouse by the fire; when it’s sunny, rush outside—being spontaneous is the right way to enjoy Shangri-La! Autumn in Shangri-La is a dream with lasting impact 🍁 Even after returning, flipping through photos still makes my heart flutter… Here’s the guide, the rest is for you to experience in person! 💃❤️🔥

If there’s only one thing you do this spring, let it be watching a sunset in one of Adelaide’s most popular sunset lookouts 😍 📍Mount Osmond Lookout It’s looking absolutely sensational right with all the flowers in bloom! Ughhh what a way to end a day 🥹✨ But it does get soooo busy so do head out there early! You can park along Hayward Dr and walk along an easy trail to get to the lookout. This is your sign to go! #southaustralia #sunsetplaces

From the hotel, we could see Sydney Tower, constantly surrounded by its presence. By chance, we stumbled upon its ground floor entrance and decided to go up and take a look! We purchased instant confirmation tickets online and followed the signs to the fifth floor. Unexpectedly, we took a photo for verification and joined the tourists heading towards the elevator. Finally, someone asked if we had tickets, and after scanning our e-tickets, we smoothly made our way upstairs! It was just the right time for the sunset, offering a golden view of Sydney Harbour, a glimpse of the Opera House, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, and more! The city lights slowly began to illuminate the nightscape. Sometimes, accidental encounters lead to wonderful experiences!

If you’re looking for adrenaline just outside of Sydney, abseiling in the Blue Mountains is the ultimate day out. 🏞️🧗♀️ We tackled cliffs up to 30 metres high, rappelling down sheer rock faces with epic views over the Jamison Valley. Whether you’re a beginner or thrill-seeker, most tours start small (around 5–10m descents) and build up to the big drops — with expert guides coaching you every step of the way. And the reward? Unreal panoramas, heart-pounding fun, and a massive sense of accomplishment. 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park (tours often depart from Katoomba) 🚗 Getting there: ~2 hrs drive/train from Sydney 🧢 What to bring: Activewear, closed shoes, water, courage! Abseiling is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains — from a whole new perspective. #tripcom #bluemountains #abseilingaustralia #outdooradventure #explorensw #visitaustralia #katoomba #naturelovers #thrillseekers #epicviews #sydneydaytrip

Tasmania was one of those places that completely changed my idea of Australia. Before visiting, I imagined it would mainly be about mountains and wildlife, but once I arrived, I discovered a much more diverse landscape—rugged coastlines, crystal-clear beaches, dramatic mountains, peaceful lakes and charming little towns. What I loved most was how untouched many parts of Tasmania felt. I started my journey in Hobart, where I enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere and explored the city's historic streets. Compared with Melbourne and Sydney, Hobart felt much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted after spending time in bigger cities. From Hobart, I headed out to explore Tasmania's incredible natural scenery. 🌊 Freycinet National Park One of my favorite places was Freycinet National Park. The first time I saw Wineglass Bay from the lookout, I honestly couldn't believe the colors. The curved white beach, turquoise water and surrounding mountains created one of the most beautiful coastal views I've experienced in Australia. The hike to the lookout wasn't particularly long, but I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes and taking your time. I stayed at the viewpoint longer than expected because the scenery kept changing as the sunlight moved across the bay. 🏔️ Cradle Mountain Another highlight was Cradle Mountain. The landscape here felt completely different from the coastline. There were alpine trails, ancient forests, rocky peaks and peaceful lakes. Even though the weather changed quickly, that actually made the scenery feel even more dramatic. I remember standing beside Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. The water was incredibly calm, and for a few minutes there was almost complete silence. That was one of those travel moments that photographs simply can't fully capture. 🐧 Wildlife & Wild Coastlines Tasmania also surprised me with its wildlife. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter wallabies, wombats, echidnas and even little penguins. Seeing wildlife in a natural environment rather than behind glass was one of the experiences I appreciated most. The coastline was another highlight. Places like Bay of Fires offered completely different scenery again, with white sand, clear blue water and striking orange-red rocks along the coast. 📍 My Tasmania Travel Tips 🚗 Rent a car if possible. Tasmania is much easier to explore independently, especially if you want to visit national parks and remote coastal areas. 🥾 Bring proper hiking shoes. Even shorter trails can become muddy or slippery depending on the weather. 🌦️ Always check the weather before hiking. Conditions can change quickly, especially around Cradle Mountain. 🧥 Pack layers. Even during warmer months, mornings and evenings can feel surprisingly cold. 📸 Allow extra time for photography. Tasmania is full of unexpected viewpoints, and rushing between attractions would be a shame. 🦘 Drive carefully at dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be active around roads, particularly outside the main towns. 🗺️ Don't try to see everything in a short trip. Tasmania looks manageable on a map, but driving between different regions takes time. ❤️ My Experience What stayed with me most about Tasmania wasn't one particular attraction. It was the feeling of space. There were moments when I was driving through empty roads with mountains in the distance, stopping beside a lake with nobody around, or standing on a beach listening to nothing but the waves. Tasmania felt slower, quieter and more raw than many other places I'd visited in Australia. If you're looking for a destination where you can combine road trips, hiking, wildlife, mountains, beaches and incredible scenery, Tasmania is somewhere I'd definitely recommend. And if you have enough time, don't rush it. Tasmania is a place to explore slowly. 🚗 Tasmania Quick Guide 📍 Main Gateway: Hobart / Launceston
⭐ Recommended: 5–8 days for a road trip
🏔️ Must-Visit: Cradle Mountain, Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay, Bay of Fires & Hobart

Why do people avoid the Blue Mountains in Sydney? (Just curious, no offense) If you have to compare the Blue Mountains with the Three Mountains and Five Great Mountains in China, there’s absolutely no comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But in Australia, the Blue Mountains are a landmark attraction of Sydney! The air quality is excellent, known as a natural oxygen bar! After visiting, I just want to say: Tell Sydney, I’m not coming back 😉 But if you don’t plan well, you won’t understand how to enjoy the cable cars + forest walkways! . 🕳️Here are some of the easiest pitfalls to fall into👇 ❌ Trap 1: Not checking the weather in advance! On rainy or overcast days, the Three Sisters disappear, and your photo plans are ruined ❌ Trap 2: Not studying the routes, guessing how to connect the three types of cable cars ❌ Trap 3: Poor time planning, waiting in line until you lose your mind . ⭐【How to get there】 🚗 Self-driving: Park for free at Scenic Skyway Parking, the entrance and ticket office are right outside the parking lot 🚌 For those without a car, day tours: daily departures, book in advance near holidays . 🚡【How to enjoy the three cable cars + forest walkways❓】 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway Panoramic glass cabins, crossing the valley 270m high, with a full view of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls! On sunny days, the whole canyon is covered by a light blue mist 🔴 Scenic Railway One of the steepest forest railways in the world, plunging down the mountain at a 52° angle. Although not fast, the feeling of being “pulled into the rainforest” is thrilling 🔵 Cableway A super large cable car that can hold many people! Staff provide fun and humorous commentary about the surrounding scenery 🌳 Walkway Stroll through the rainforest 🚶 The entire path is a wooden boardwalk, very flat, suitable for kids and strollers! There are also displays of minerals and coal Ps. All cable cars can be ridden unlimited times, just queue again each time you return . 🗺【Recommended order of play】 🔴 Scenic Railway → 🟢 Rainforest Walkway → 🔵 Cableway → 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway; if you like mountain views, choose the shortest Walkway route, then quickly take the 🔵 Cableway to the visitor center to switch to the 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway

📍SAVE $$$ - all the info here 👇🏼 This was such a fun day in Blue Mountains. Our mission was to spend under $50 which is SO doable considering there is so much to see and do for free, but ended up spending a little extra and it was totally worth it - you’ll see why 👀 🏠 Base yourself at the YHA Blue Mountains. It’s super comfy, affordable and right in town, making it the perfect place to stay. Morning: 🥾 Grand Canyon Hike 6.5km loop, allow 2-3 hours to really enjoy it! Brunch: 🥐 Black Cockatoo bakery Some of the most delicious pastries and coffee. The chocolate croissant was SO good 🤤 Afternoon: 🚂 Scenic World Home to the world’s steepest railway! There’s lots to see and explore, and epic views of the Three Sisters! Sunset: 🌅 Cahill’s Lookout A stunning lookout to watch the sun go down.

Perth's jacarandas are truly on par with Sydney's! The jacaranda blooming season in Perth is slightly later than in Sydney~ When Sydney's flowers start to fade, Perth's are just beginning to bloom. The pink sunset + jacarandas are so beautiful! . Perth rarely rains because of its good weather, so the flowering period tends to last longer~ . There are too many people taking photos under Sydney's beautiful jacarandas, but Perth is quieter (more secluded), so the jacarandas are much more peaceful and undisturbed for now. The photos were taken yesterday evening 📍Strickland Street 📍Tain Street

Every time I check out travel guides for Tasmania, someone always says: "You must self-drive in Tasmania." But if you only have six days and it's your first visit, I actually recommend leaving the driving to someone else. It's not about the difficulty of driving. It's because some of Tasmania's most precious experiences aren't at the destinations, but along the journey. 🌿 1️⃣ Many of Tasmania's scenic views are actually outside the car window. From Hobart heading north, you'll pass through forests, highways, coastlines, and quiet little towns. The most enjoyable moments are when you see a place you like, stop to take a few photos, or simply sit quietly and admire the view outside. If you're driving yourself, your attention will constantly be on speed limits, curves, and navigation. Many beautiful sights will be missed. 🦘 2️⃣ Driving at night in winter requires more caution than you might think. Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife. Especially at dusk, kangaroos and wombats are more likely to come out and roam. Many first-time visitors try to avoid driving at night—not because the roads are difficult, but because you need to stay alert for animals that might suddenly dart out from the roadside. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Staying tense the whole time can take away from the joy of the trip. ☕ 3️⃣ The exhaustion isn't just behind the wheel, but also at the end of the day. For trips like Maria Island, you'll spend most of the day hiking. If you then have to drive for several hours to get back to your hotel, you'll likely be too drained to enjoy the evening. The next day, heading to Cradle Mountain might feel more like ticking off a checklist than truly enjoying the experience. On the other hand, if you can nap in the car and wake up at the next destination, the pace feels much more comfortable. That's why, when planning routes, we always avoid cramming too much driving into the schedule. For a first visit to Tasmania, it's more important to dedicate time to the scenery rather than constantly focusing on navigation. Save your energy for the experiences that truly matter.

When city light pollution obscures the starry sky, a child's childhood loses a vast realm of imagination. This winter, I took my child to a place known as "China's Most Beautiful Starry Sky" — Bayinbuluke. This is not just a grassland but also an international dark sky park. In winter, the extreme cold brings crystal-clear skies, with the Milky Way stretching across the horizon, seemingly within reach. 🌌 Why is winter the best season for stargazing? Clear air: Cold air sinks, reducing moisture and dust in the atmosphere, making the starry sky exceptionally clear and bright. Long nights: Early sunsets mean stars appear earlier, so kids don’t have to stay up too late. Visible Milky Way core: Although the Milky Way is less dazzling in winter than in summer, winter constellations are bright, the starry sky is equally splendid, and classic celestial bodies like Orion and the Pleiades are easier to observe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Beginner’s guide to family stargazing (even with zero experience) Don’t worry if you don’t know astronomy; this is a perfect opportunity for early education. Preparation (knowledge introduction): · Download star map apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Guide to identify constellations just by pointing your phone. · Tell your child one or two Greek mythology stories about constellations to make it more fun. On-site activities: Connect the stars: Use a star pointer (be careful not to shine it in others’ eyes or at airplanes) or a laser pointer to "draw" constellations in the sky with your child. Find the brightest star: Compete to see who spots Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky) or Mars (the red planet) first. Wish on shooting stars: Winter sometimes brings the Quadrantids meteor shower, and even on regular nights, random meteors are easy to spot under a pure night sky. 📍 Stargazing locations and practical tips Best spots: Near your hotel or guesthouse, just find an open area away from streetlights. The Jiǔqū Shíbāwān (Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns) viewing platform is top-notch but closed at night. Safety first—no need to venture into dangerous places. Timing: About 1.5 hours after sunset when the sky is fully dark is the best time to start. Observe for about an hour, watch your child’s comfort level, and return indoors as needed. Warmth strategy (nighttime upgrade): In addition to the gear mentioned in the fifth article, add: Thick-soled snow boots: Keeping feet warm is key for endurance. Sit-able moisture-proof mat: Blocks ground cold and makes sitting while looking up comfortable. Headlamp (red light mode): Red light minimally affects vision, convenient for moving around without ruining night vision. 📸 Simple family star photography tutorial Want to capture the memory? A smartphone is enough. Phone settings: · Use professional mode or download apps like NightCap. · Suggested settings: ISO at maximum (3200 or 6400), shutter speed 15-30 seconds, focus set to infinity. · Always use a tripod! This is crucial for success. · Use a headphone cable or Bluetooth remote as a shutter to avoid shaking from pressing the button. Creative shots: Let kids "paint with light" on the snow using a flashlight, or take family silhouette photos with the starry sky as the backdrop—heartwarming and unforgettable. 🛏️ Warm basecamp: Recommended stargazing hotels A place to quickly warm up in the cold is essential: Bayinbuluke Tianhe Source Hotel: Some rooms offer wide views and ample heating. Bayinbuluke Grassland Pearl Hotel: Convenient location, a reliable choice in town. Choosing guesthouses: Use platforms like Trip.com to filter highly rated local guesthouses. Sometimes you get warmer local hospitality, and the host might even take you to better stargazing spots. 🚗 Three-day starry sky itinerary proposal Day 1: Arrive in Bayinbuluke in the afternoon, acclimate to the cold, rest early. Day 2: Visit Swan Home during the day, watch the sunset at Jiǔqū Shíbāwān in the evening, and have your first stargazing experience at night. Day 3: Visit nearby Gongnaisi Forest Park (check road conditions) to see snowy forests, then do a second stargazing session at night where kids will identify even more stars. Under Bayinbuluke’s starry sky, time and cold seem to freeze. At that moment, what you share with your child is not just the vast stars but an endless curiosity and longing for the universe. This journey is destined to shine.

Discover a hidden gem just 30 minutes from downtown Suzhou! It gathers all the beautiful winter imaginations: hot springs, picking, forest hiking, artistic villages… The key is that it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect for families wanting a relaxing weekend outing with kids. 🚗 Our winter weekend at Shushan This time the destination is Shushan Scenic Area. It’s not a single attraction but a comprehensive ecological village made up of tea gardens, bamboo forests, boardwalks, hot springs, and ancient villages. In winter, there’s no sense of decay here, but rather a calm and warm energy. 🎨 One-day slow travel highlights (can be split) · Morning: Forest oxygen hike → Start from the wooden boardwalk entrance of Shushan Village, about 3 kilometers with gentle slopes. Along the way are tall bamboo groves and bayberry forests, with fresh air. Give the kids a task: find moss, pine cones, and strange tree roots. · Noon: Farmhouse meal to warm the stomach → After descending, eat at a farmhouse restaurant in the village. Recommended are “Quanlin Farmhouse” or “Gejiawu Farmhouse,” must-try dishes are herbal chicken soup and braised radish. · Afternoon: Double enjoyment → Family picking: Visit a nearby strawberry greenhouse to experience the joy of winter picking; the strawberries are big and sweet. Hot spring therapy: Stay or book a private hot spring at a hot spring guesthouse, soaking under the starry sky to wash away the cold— the ultimate winter indulgence. 🌟 Shushan is more than just Shushan (surrounding linked activities) To enrich your itinerary, you can combine like this: · Artistic and historical line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Museum West Branch (20-minute drive, an indoor treasure, free visit by reservation). · Natural wild fun line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Taihu National Wetland Park (30-minute drive, see reed marshes and pandas). · Ancient town leisure line: Shushan Scenic Area + Hushu Ancient Town (a reviving ancient town, few people, very comfortable for tea and shopping). 🛏️ Top-notch beautiful stays nestled in scenery The core area of Shushan gathers a group of highly designed guesthouses, private hot springs are standard: Dusit Thani Health Resort Suzhou: Thai luxury style, with a large outdoor hot spring park and rich family activities, a one-stop vacation choice. Shushan Shuxiang Shijia Hot Spring Hotel Suzhou: Suzhou garden style, rooms come with private hot spring pools, very private. Yuanshe Yunquan Hot Spring Boutique Hotel Suzhou: Representative of design guesthouses, minimalist wabi-sabi style, beautiful public areas, hot springs in rooms. Huajiantang Yunquan (Suzhou Shushan Branch): Brand assurance, attentive service, pet-friendly, many family room options. 🍜 Local food search guide Besides farmhouse meals, there are these options: · Popular cafes: “Jieshi Academy” or “Breathing Forest,” enjoy a hot latte by the bamboo forest, full of atmosphere. · Specialty snacks: The “vegetarian noodles” near Dayang Mountain are famous, such as “Wenshu Temple Wisdom Noodle House,” light and delicious. · Su cuisine: For something more formal, drive to Suzhou New District commercial area for more choices. 📌 Must-see tips before the trip · Transportation: Navigate to “Shushan Ecological Village Visitor Center,” there is a large parking lot. Boardwalk hiking is free. · Reservation: Weekend hot spring guesthouses are in high demand, be sure to book in advance on platforms like Trip.com. · Gear: Wear non-slip shoes for hiking, bring an extra set of clothes for kids to change after hot springs. · Best time: Early morning after rain when the bamboo forest is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. This is a relaxing place where the whole family can find joy. At Shushan Scenic Area, winter is not dormancy but another form of vibrant life.

Love the beach or simply enjoy discovering unique places? Head out of the city! Just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, you’ll find the iconic Brighton bathing boxes on Dendy Street beach (all 93 of them!), one different from the other. These are from the Victorian era, used by swimmers as changing rooms to keep their modesty. Nowadays, local owners use them to store beach equipment or as relaxing retreats by the water. If swimming in chilly waters isn’t your thing, grab a coffee and take a leisurely stroll along the beach, admiring the colourful boxes up close. Continue along the shoreline, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bay views and, in the distance, the striking silhouette of Melbourne’s CBD far beyond the horizon. #melbourne #brightonbeach

Slow solo morning at @langhammelbourne Long hot bath, fluffy robe, and room service in bed because leaving the room was not the vibe. Croissants, danishes, fresh fruit, and a strong coffee while the city did its thing outside, and I just stayed wrapped up in my little bubble. Romanticising my own company will always be my favourite 🥰

The sea was sparkling from the morning, and the weather was perfect ☀️ Day 2 was all about soaking in island time... so relaxing 🥹✨ 📍Angel Road 🌊 A mysterious spot where a path appears on the sea only during low tide! The view from the bell tower above is breathtaking—you could stare at it forever 🔔 *Make sure to check the tide table before visiting◎ (Off-season is relatively quiet, almost like having the place to yourself.) 📍Yokai Museum 👻 @meipamyokai Admission fee: 2,900 yen A museum combining "Yokai" (Japanese folklore monsters) and art, utilizing old houses and warehouses. You explore four buildings as part of the experience, which reportedly takes about an hour. We decided to skip it this time, but I’ll definitely visit next time! 🙄 📍Coffee Shop World ☕️ A retro café loved by locals, perfect for a cozy break. Their fluffy sandwiches and egg toast sandwiches filled both my stomach and heart... 🍞 I really love places like this 🤭 📍Shodoshima Olive Garden 🫒 @shodoshima_olive_en__1st_olive Stopped by to pick up souvenirs. Along with olive products, I bought herb garlic and OLISCO. Tried them at home, and everything was delicious! 📍A hidden gem we stumbled upon (by the sea) 🌅 The combination of the breakwater and Setouchi Blue was so refreshing. Just staring at the sea and zoning out felt like the ultimate luxury 😮💨✨ 📍Minato Dining (right by Fukuda Port) 🍲 A warm eatery run by a sweet grandma. The cozy interior with a stove was so relaxing◎ After much deliberation, I ordered: ⚫︎ Nabeyaki Ramen (800 yen)! Packed with chicken, egg, chikuwa, and bean sprouts, it was super filling! Delicious and comforting 😍 Perfect way to end the trip. 📍Fukuda Port → Himeji Port 🚢 @shodoshimaferry Enjoyed a leisurely ferry ride back. The sea remained beautiful till the end, making me want to visit again 😌🌊 Day 2 was all about "sea × retro × laid-back travel" 🫶🏻 Off-season meant fewer tourists and a more relaxed vibe ☻ Highly recommended!

Just got back from Shangri-La, and some hard truths must be told 💔✨ Shangri-La in November is truly beautiful, but the pitfalls are real too! Read this and I guarantee fewer travel mishaps~ First lesson on the plateau: either your body or your soul must be on the road​ Shangri-La’s altitude is ridiculously high; on the first day, altitude sickness taught me a hard lesson 😵‍💫🌬️ Headache so bad I questioned my life, didn’t even have the energy to put on makeup! Locals laugh and say, “Don’t try to be tough here, slow is the way.” ✅ Blood and tears advice: Drink Rhodiola three days before departure, and don’t wash your hair or shower right after arrival! Layer a down jacket with a windbreaker; the temperature difference between morning and night will make you experience all four seasons in one day 🌞❄️ Apply sunscreen thickly, the UV rays will give you a plateau sunburn in no time! Accommodation traps: Old Town guesthouses look great in photos, but your suitcase will suffer​ Tibetan-style guesthouses in Dukezong Old Town are definitely photogenic 📸🌄 But dragging a suitcase on the cobblestone streets nearly wrecked my wheels! Luckily, I chose a guesthouse that offers luggage check-in service, otherwise it would have been a nightmare from the start… ✅ Smart choice: When booking, filter out “no elevator” and “steep climb” options, prioritize the edges of the Old Town for quiet and cheaper stays. Remember to pick a room with a humidifier; the dryness is no joke—you’ll wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 💦🔥 (Don’t ask me how I know) Attraction tips: Save money with these quick hacks!​ Songzanlin Monastery: Don’t foolishly buy the 90 RMB ticket online! Go straight to the manual ticket window, tickets plus shuttle bus only cost 55 RMB 🕶️🙏 You can get a free blessing with a prayer bracelet at the mountaintop hall, but remember to be quiet and respectful, don’t snap photos wildly of the monks~ Napahai Lake: Never search “Napahai” directly on navigation! Otherwise, you’ll definitely be taken to a paid horse ranch 💸🐎 The correct way is to search “Huanhu Road,” take bus No. 12 around the lake, and enjoy free views of waterfowl, meadows, and snow-capped mountains—breathtakingly beautiful 🦢🌊 (Riding horses? Ask the price clearly before mounting!) Potatso National Park: November’s colorful forests look like a spilled palette 🏞️🍂 But bring an oxygen tank for hiking! I stubbornly didn’t, and was gasping after just a few steps… The park has lots of little bugs, spray mosquito repellent generously! Transportation insider: The battle between charter cars and buses​ Shangri-La’s attractions are scattered, and bus schedules are pitifully sparse 😭 Carpooling with friends is the most cost-effective, but never trust airport black taxis! Book a car in advance on Trip.com; local drivers often double as guides, telling fascinating Tibetan stories along the way~ ✅ Money-saving bonus: There’s a direct shuttle from Dukezong Old Town to Potatso, buying the ticket plus park entrance as a package saves you enough for a hotpot meal 🍲💃 (Don’t say I didn’t tell you!) Food hits and misses: Yak meat hotpot is legendary, but some trendy restaurants disappoint​ A certain popular Tibetan restaurant in the Old Town had a one-hour wait, but the yak meat was so tough it got stuck in my teeth 🦷⚡ Then I found a small alley restaurant called “Lixing Specialty Tibetan Cuisine,” where the hotpot broth was incredibly fresh, and the barley cakes dipped in butter tea were so good I licked the plate! ✅ Must-eat list: Yak meat hotpot (about 80 RMB per person), roadside mom’s freshly baked barley cakes, yogurt sprinkled with sugar… Warning! If you have a weak stomach, don’t try raw dairy products—trust me, it’s a half-day bathroom tour 🚽💨 November’s exclusive romance: Few people, stunning scenery, like having the place to yourself​ This season in Shangri-La is full of hidden perks! Migratory birds flock at Napahai, morning mist swirls around the golden roof of Songzanlin Monastery, no crowds fighting for spots at the prayer wheels in Dukezong Old Town… At night, dance the Guozhuang with Tibetan aunties, and when cold, retreat to a teahouse for butter tea, instantly healing all fatigue 💫🌟 Most unforgettable was stargazing at Guishan Park, the Milky Way shining like special effects—at that moment, I suddenly understood what “the sun and moon in the heart” means 🌌💖 Ultimate tips: Listen to these before you go​ ▪️ Step over temple thresholds, don’t step on them! Turn prayer wheels clockwise~ ▪️ Buy souvenirs at local markets, compare prices for Tibetan silver jewelry, don’t impulse buy! ▪️ Bring colorful scarves and sunglasses, they brighten your photos and protect from wind! ▪️ Slow your pace: when it rains on the plateau, stay cozy in the guesthouse by the fire; when it’s sunny, rush outside—being spontaneous is the right way to enjoy Shangri-La! Autumn in Shangri-La is a dream with lasting impact 🍁 Even after returning, flipping through photos still makes my heart flutter… Here’s the guide, the rest is for you to experience in person! 💃❤️🔥

If there’s only one thing you do this spring, let it be watching a sunset in one of Adelaide’s most popular sunset lookouts 😍 📍Mount Osmond Lookout It’s looking absolutely sensational right with all the flowers in bloom! Ughhh what a way to end a day 🥹✨ But it does get soooo busy so do head out there early! You can park along Hayward Dr and walk along an easy trail to get to the lookout. This is your sign to go! #southaustralia #sunsetplaces

From the hotel, we could see Sydney Tower, constantly surrounded by its presence. By chance, we stumbled upon its ground floor entrance and decided to go up and take a look! We purchased instant confirmation tickets online and followed the signs to the fifth floor. Unexpectedly, we took a photo for verification and joined the tourists heading towards the elevator. Finally, someone asked if we had tickets, and after scanning our e-tickets, we smoothly made our way upstairs! It was just the right time for the sunset, offering a golden view of Sydney Harbour, a glimpse of the Opera House, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, and more! The city lights slowly began to illuminate the nightscape. Sometimes, accidental encounters lead to wonderful experiences!

If you’re looking for adrenaline just outside of Sydney, abseiling in the Blue Mountains is the ultimate day out. 🏞️🧗♀️ We tackled cliffs up to 30 metres high, rappelling down sheer rock faces with epic views over the Jamison Valley. Whether you’re a beginner or thrill-seeker, most tours start small (around 5–10m descents) and build up to the big drops — with expert guides coaching you every step of the way. And the reward? Unreal panoramas, heart-pounding fun, and a massive sense of accomplishment. 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park (tours often depart from Katoomba) 🚗 Getting there: ~2 hrs drive/train from Sydney 🧢 What to bring: Activewear, closed shoes, water, courage! Abseiling is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains — from a whole new perspective. #tripcom #bluemountains #abseilingaustralia #outdooradventure #explorensw #visitaustralia #katoomba #naturelovers #thrillseekers #epicviews #sydneydaytrip

Tasmania was one of those places that completely changed my idea of Australia. Before visiting, I imagined it would mainly be about mountains and wildlife, but once I arrived, I discovered a much more diverse landscape—rugged coastlines, crystal-clear beaches, dramatic mountains, peaceful lakes and charming little towns. What I loved most was how untouched many parts of Tasmania felt. I started my journey in Hobart, where I enjoyed the relaxed waterfront atmosphere and explored the city's historic streets. Compared with Melbourne and Sydney, Hobart felt much quieter, which was exactly what I wanted after spending time in bigger cities. From Hobart, I headed out to explore Tasmania's incredible natural scenery. 🌊 Freycinet National Park One of my favorite places was Freycinet National Park. The first time I saw Wineglass Bay from the lookout, I honestly couldn't believe the colors. The curved white beach, turquoise water and surrounding mountains created one of the most beautiful coastal views I've experienced in Australia. The hike to the lookout wasn't particularly long, but I definitely recommend wearing proper shoes and taking your time. I stayed at the viewpoint longer than expected because the scenery kept changing as the sunlight moved across the bay. 🏔️ Cradle Mountain Another highlight was Cradle Mountain. The landscape here felt completely different from the coastline. There were alpine trails, ancient forests, rocky peaks and peaceful lakes. Even though the weather changed quickly, that actually made the scenery feel even more dramatic. I remember standing beside Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. The water was incredibly calm, and for a few minutes there was almost complete silence. That was one of those travel moments that photographs simply can't fully capture. 🐧 Wildlife & Wild Coastlines Tasmania also surprised me with its wildlife. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter wallabies, wombats, echidnas and even little penguins. Seeing wildlife in a natural environment rather than behind glass was one of the experiences I appreciated most. The coastline was another highlight. Places like Bay of Fires offered completely different scenery again, with white sand, clear blue water and striking orange-red rocks along the coast. 📍 My Tasmania Travel Tips 🚗 Rent a car if possible. Tasmania is much easier to explore independently, especially if you want to visit national parks and remote coastal areas. 🥾 Bring proper hiking shoes. Even shorter trails can become muddy or slippery depending on the weather. 🌦️ Always check the weather before hiking. Conditions can change quickly, especially around Cradle Mountain. 🧥 Pack layers. Even during warmer months, mornings and evenings can feel surprisingly cold. 📸 Allow extra time for photography. Tasmania is full of unexpected viewpoints, and rushing between attractions would be a shame. 🦘 Drive carefully at dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be active around roads, particularly outside the main towns. 🗺️ Don't try to see everything in a short trip. Tasmania looks manageable on a map, but driving between different regions takes time. ❤️ My Experience What stayed with me most about Tasmania wasn't one particular attraction. It was the feeling of space. There were moments when I was driving through empty roads with mountains in the distance, stopping beside a lake with nobody around, or standing on a beach listening to nothing but the waves. Tasmania felt slower, quieter and more raw than many other places I'd visited in Australia. If you're looking for a destination where you can combine road trips, hiking, wildlife, mountains, beaches and incredible scenery, Tasmania is somewhere I'd definitely recommend. And if you have enough time, don't rush it. Tasmania is a place to explore slowly. 🚗 Tasmania Quick Guide 📍 Main Gateway: Hobart / Launceston

Why do people avoid the Blue Mountains in Sydney? (Just curious, no offense) If you have to compare the Blue Mountains with the Three Mountains and Five Great Mountains in China, there’s absolutely no comparison 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But in Australia, the Blue Mountains are a landmark attraction of Sydney! The air quality is excellent, known as a natural oxygen bar! After visiting, I just want to say: Tell Sydney, I’m not coming back 😉 But if you don’t plan well, you won’t understand how to enjoy the cable cars + forest walkways! . 🕳️Here are some of the easiest pitfalls to fall into👇 ❌ Trap 1: Not checking the weather in advance! On rainy or overcast days, the Three Sisters disappear, and your photo plans are ruined ❌ Trap 2: Not studying the routes, guessing how to connect the three types of cable cars ❌ Trap 3: Poor time planning, waiting in line until you lose your mind . ⭐【How to get there】 🚗 Self-driving: Park for free at Scenic Skyway Parking, the entrance and ticket office are right outside the parking lot 🚌 For those without a car, day tours: daily departures, book in advance near holidays . 🚡【How to enjoy the three cable cars + forest walkways❓】 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway Panoramic glass cabins, crossing the valley 270m high, with a full view of the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls! On sunny days, the whole canyon is covered by a light blue mist 🔴 Scenic Railway One of the steepest forest railways in the world, plunging down the mountain at a 52° angle. Although not fast, the feeling of being “pulled into the rainforest” is thrilling 🔵 Cableway A super large cable car that can hold many people! Staff provide fun and humorous commentary about the surrounding scenery 🌳 Walkway Stroll through the rainforest 🚶 The entire path is a wooden boardwalk, very flat, suitable for kids and strollers! There are also displays of minerals and coal Ps. All cable cars can be ridden unlimited times, just queue again each time you return . 🗺【Recommended order of play】 🔴 Scenic Railway → 🟢 Rainforest Walkway → 🔵 Cableway → 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway; if you like mountain views, choose the shortest Walkway route, then quickly take the 🔵 Cableway to the visitor center to switch to the 🟡 Glass-bottom Skyway

📍SAVE $$$ - all the info here 👇🏼 This was such a fun day in Blue Mountains. Our mission was to spend under $50 which is SO doable considering there is so much to see and do for free, but ended up spending a little extra and it was totally worth it - you’ll see why 👀 🏠 Base yourself at the YHA Blue Mountains. It’s super comfy, affordable and right in town, making it the perfect place to stay. Morning: 🥾 Grand Canyon Hike 6.5km loop, allow 2-3 hours to really enjoy it! Brunch: 🥐 Black Cockatoo bakery Some of the most delicious pastries and coffee. The chocolate croissant was SO good 🤤 Afternoon: 🚂 Scenic World Home to the world’s steepest railway!

Perth's jacarandas are truly on par with Sydney's! The jacaranda blooming season in Perth is slightly later than in Sydney~ When Sydney's flowers start to fade, Perth's are just beginning to bloom. The pink sunset + jacarandas are so beautiful! . Perth rarely rains because of its good weather, so the flowering period tends to last longer~ . There are too many people taking photos under Sydney's beautiful jacarandas, but Perth is quieter (more secluded), so the jacarandas are much more peaceful and undisturbed for now. The photos were taken yesterday evening 📍Strickland Street 📍Tain Street

Every time I check out travel guides for Tasmania, someone always says: "You must self-drive in Tasmania." But if you only have six days and it's your first visit, I actually recommend leaving the driving to someone else. It's not about the difficulty of driving. It's because some of Tasmania's most precious experiences aren't at the destinations, but along the journey. 🌿 1️⃣ Many of Tasmania's scenic views are actually outside the car window. From Hobart heading north, you'll pass through forests, highways, coastlines, and quiet little towns. The most enjoyable moments are when you see a place you like, stop to take a few photos, or simply sit quietly and admire the view outside. If you're driving yourself, your attention will constantly be on speed limits, curves, and navigation. Many beautiful sights will be missed. 🦘 2️⃣ Driving at night in winter requires more caution than you might think. Tasmania is home to abundant wildlife. Especially at dusk, kangaroos and wombats are more likely to come out and roam. Many first-time visitors try to avoid driving at night—not because the roads are difficult, but because you need to stay alert for animals that might suddenly dart out from the roadside. Traveling is supposed to be relaxing. Staying tense the whole time can take away from the joy of the trip. ☕ 3️⃣ The exhaustion isn't just behind the wheel, but also at the end of the day. For trips like Maria Island, you'll spend most of the day hiking. If you then have to drive for several hours to get back to your hotel, you'll likely be too drained to enjoy the evening. The next day, heading to Cradle Mountain might feel more like ticking off a checklist than truly enjoying the experience. On the other hand, if you can nap in the car and wake up at the next destination, the pace feels much more comfortable. That's why, when planning routes, we always avoid cramming too much driving into the schedule. For a first visit to Tasmania, it's more important to dedicate time to the scenery rather than constantly focusing on navigation. Save your energy for the experiences that truly matter.

When city light pollution obscures the starry sky, a child's childhood loses a vast realm of imagination. This winter, I took my child to a place known as "China's Most Beautiful Starry Sky" — Bayinbuluke. This is not just a grassland but also an international dark sky park. In winter, the extreme cold brings crystal-clear skies, with the Milky Way stretching across the horizon, seemingly within reach. 🌌 Why is winter the best season for stargazing? Clear air: Cold air sinks, reducing moisture and dust in the atmosphere, making the starry sky exceptionally clear and bright. Long nights: Early sunsets mean stars appear earlier, so kids don’t have to stay up too late. Visible Milky Way core: Although the Milky Way is less dazzling in winter than in summer, winter constellations are bright, the starry sky is equally splendid, and classic celestial bodies like Orion and the Pleiades are easier to observe. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Beginner’s guide to family stargazing (even with zero experience) Don’t worry if you don’t know astronomy; this is a perfect opportunity for early education. Preparation (knowledge introduction): · Download star map apps like Star Walk 2 or Sky Guide to identify constellations just by pointing your phone. · Tell your child one or two Greek mythology stories about constellations to make it more fun. On-site activities: Connect the stars: Use a star pointer (be careful not to shine it in others’ eyes or at airplanes) or a laser pointer to "draw" constellations in the sky with your child. Find the brightest star: Compete to see who spots Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky) or Mars (the red planet) first. Wish on shooting stars: Winter sometimes brings the Quadrantids meteor shower, and even on regular nights, random meteors are easy to spot under a pure night sky. 📍 Stargazing locations and practical tips Best spots: Near your hotel or guesthouse, just find an open area away from streetlights. The Jiǔqū Shíbāwān (Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns) viewing platform is top-notch but closed at night. Safety first—no need to venture into dangerous places. Timing: About 1.5 hours after sunset when the sky is fully dark is the best time to start. Observe for about an hour, watch your child’s comfort level, and return indoors as needed. Warmth strategy (nighttime upgrade): In addition to the gear mentioned in the fifth article, add: Thick-soled snow boots: Keeping feet warm is key for endurance. Sit-able moisture-proof mat: Blocks ground cold and makes sitting while looking up comfortable. Headlamp (red light mode): Red light minimally affects vision, convenient for moving around without ruining night vision. 📸 Simple family star photography tutorial Want to capture the memory? A smartphone is enough. Phone settings: · Use professional mode or download apps like NightCap. · Suggested settings: ISO at maximum (3200 or 6400), shutter speed 15-30 seconds, focus set to infinity. · Always use a tripod! This is crucial for success. · Use a headphone cable or Bluetooth remote as a shutter to avoid shaking from pressing the button. Creative shots: Let kids "paint with light" on the snow using a flashlight, or take family silhouette photos with the starry sky as the backdrop—heartwarming and unforgettable. 🛏️ Warm basecamp: Recommended stargazing hotels A place to quickly warm up in the cold is essential: Bayinbuluke Tianhe Source Hotel: Some rooms offer wide views and ample heating. Bayinbuluke Grassland Pearl Hotel: Convenient location, a reliable choice in town. Choosing guesthouses: Use platforms like Trip.com to filter highly rated local guesthouses. Sometimes you get warmer local hospitality, and the host might even take you to better stargazing spots. 🚗 Three-day starry sky itinerary proposal Day 1: Arrive in Bayinbuluke in the afternoon, acclimate to the cold, rest early. Day 2: Visit Swan Home during the day, watch the sunset at Jiǔqū Shíbāwān in the evening, and have your first stargazing experience at night. Day 3: Visit nearby Gongnaisi Forest Park (check road conditions) to see snowy forests, then do a second stargazing session at night where kids will identify even more stars. Under Bayinbuluke’s starry sky, time and cold seem to freeze. At that moment, what you share with your child is not just the vast stars but an endless curiosity and longing for the universe. This journey is destined to shine.

Discover a hidden gem just 30 minutes from downtown Suzhou! It gathers all the beautiful winter imaginations: hot springs, picking, forest hiking, artistic villages… The key is that it’s quiet and peaceful, perfect for families wanting a relaxing weekend outing with kids. 🚗 Our winter weekend at Shushan This time the destination is Shushan Scenic Area. It’s not a single attraction but a comprehensive ecological village made up of tea gardens, bamboo forests, boardwalks, hot springs, and ancient villages. In winter, there’s no sense of decay here, but rather a calm and warm energy. 🎨 One-day slow travel highlights (can be split) · Morning: Forest oxygen hike → Start from the wooden boardwalk entrance of Shushan Village, about 3 kilometers with gentle slopes. Along the way are tall bamboo groves and bayberry forests, with fresh air. Give the kids a task: find moss, pine cones, and strange tree roots. · Noon: Farmhouse meal to warm the stomach → After descending, eat at a farmhouse restaurant in the village. Recommended are “Quanlin Farmhouse” or “Gejiawu Farmhouse,” must-try dishes are herbal chicken soup and braised radish. · Afternoon: Double enjoyment → Family picking: Visit a nearby strawberry greenhouse to experience the joy of winter picking; the strawberries are big and sweet. Hot spring therapy: Stay or book a private hot spring at a hot spring guesthouse, soaking under the starry sky to wash away the cold— the ultimate winter indulgence. 🌟 Shushan is more than just Shushan (surrounding linked activities) To enrich your itinerary, you can combine like this: · Artistic and historical line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Museum West Branch (20-minute drive, an indoor treasure, free visit by reservation). · Natural wild fun line: Shushan Scenic Area + Suzhou Taihu National Wetland Park (30-minute drive, see reed marshes and pandas). · Ancient town leisure line: Shushan Scenic Area + Hushu Ancient Town (a reviving ancient town, few people, very comfortable for tea and shopping). 🛏️ Top-notch beautiful stays nestled in scenery The core area of Shushan gathers a group of highly designed guesthouses, private hot springs are standard: Dusit Thani Health Resort Suzhou: Thai luxury style, with a large outdoor hot spring park and rich family activities, a one-stop vacation choice.

Boardwalk hiking is free. · Reservation: Weekend hot spring guesthouses are in high demand, be sure to book in advance on platforms like Trip.com. · Gear: Wear non-slip shoes for hiking, bring an extra set of clothes for kids to change after hot springs. · Best time: Early morning after rain when the bamboo forest is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. This is a relaxing place where the whole family can find joy. At Shushan Scenic Area, winter is not dormancy but another form of vibrant life.

Love the beach or simply enjoy discovering unique places? Head out of the city! Just a 30-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, you’ll find the iconic Brighton bathing boxes on Dendy Street beach (all 93 of them!), one different from the other. These are from the Victorian era, used by swimmers as changing rooms to keep their modesty. Nowadays, local owners use them to store beach equipment or as relaxing retreats by the water. If swimming in chilly waters isn’t your thing, grab a coffee and take a leisurely stroll along the beach, admiring the colourful boxes up close. Continue along the shoreline, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping bay views and, in the distance, the striking silhouette of Melbourne’s CBD far beyond the horizon. #melbourne #brightonbeach

Slow solo morning at @langhammelbourne Long hot bath, fluffy robe, and room service in bed because leaving the room was not the vibe. Croissants, danishes, fresh fruit, and a strong coffee while the city did its thing outside, and I just stayed wrapped up in my little bubble. Romanticising my own company will always be my favourite 🥰

The sea was sparkling from the morning, and the weather was perfect ☀️ Day 2 was all about soaking in island time... so relaxing 🥹✨ 📍Angel Road 🌊 A mysterious spot where a path appears on the sea only during low tide! The view from the bell tower above is breathtaking—you could stare at it forever 🔔 *Make sure to check the tide table before visiting◎ (Off-season is relatively quiet, almost like having the place to yourself.) 📍Yokai Museum 👻 @meipamyokai Admission fee: 2,900 yen A museum combining "Yokai" (Japanese folklore monsters) and art, utilizing old houses and warehouses. You explore four buildings as part of the experience, which reportedly takes about an hour. We decided to skip it this time, but I’ll definitely visit next time! 🙄 📍Coffee Shop World ☕️ A retro café loved by locals, perfect for a cozy break. Their fluffy sandwiches and egg toast sandwiches filled both my stomach and heart... 🍞 I really love places like this 🤭 📍Shodoshima Olive Garden 🫒 @shodoshima_olive_en__1st_olive Stopped by to pick up souvenirs. Along with olive products, I bought herb garlic and OLISCO. Tried them at home, and everything was delicious! 📍A hidden gem we stumbled upon (by the sea) 🌅 The combination of the breakwater and Setouchi Blue was so refreshing. Just staring at the sea and zoning out felt like the ultimate luxury 😮💨✨ 📍Minato Dining (right by Fukuda Port) 🍲 A warm eatery run by a sweet grandma. The cozy interior with a stove was so relaxing◎ After much deliberation, I ordered: ⚫︎ Nabeyaki Ramen (800 yen)! Packed with chicken, egg, chikuwa, and bean sprouts, it was super filling! Delicious and comforting 😍 Perfect way to end the trip. 📍Fukuda Port → Himeji Port 🚢 @shodoshimaferry Enjoyed a leisurely ferry ride back. The sea remained beautiful till the end, making me want to visit again 😌🌊 Day 2 was all about "sea × retro × laid-back travel" 🫶🏻 Off-season meant fewer tourists and a more relaxed vibe ☻ Highly recommended!

Just got back from Shangri-La, and some hard truths must be told 💔✨ Shangri-La in November is truly beautiful, but the pitfalls are real too! Read this and I guarantee fewer travel mishaps~ First lesson on the plateau: either your body or your soul must be on the road​ Shangri-La’s altitude is ridiculously high; on the first day, altitude sickness taught me a hard lesson 😵‍💫🌬️ Headache so bad I questioned my life, didn’t even have the energy to put on makeup! Locals laugh and say, “Don’t try to be tough here, slow is the way.” ✅ Blood and tears advice: Drink Rhodiola three days before departure, and don’t wash your hair or shower right after arrival! Layer a down jacket with a windbreaker; the temperature difference between morning and night will make you experience all four seasons in one day 🌞❄️ Apply sunscreen thickly, the UV rays will give you a plateau sunburn in no time! Accommodation traps: Old Town guesthouses look great in photos, but your suitcase will suffer​ Tibetan-style guesthouses in Dukezong Old Town are definitely photogenic 📸🌄 But dragging a suitcase on the cobblestone streets nearly wrecked my wheels! Luckily, I chose a guesthouse that offers luggage check-in service, otherwise it would have been a nightmare from the start… ✅ Smart choice: When booking, filter out “no elevator” and “steep climb” options, prioritize the edges of the Old Town for quiet and cheaper stays. Remember to pick a room with a humidifier; the dryness is no joke—you’ll wake up thirsty in the middle of the night 💦🔥 (Don’t ask me how I know) Attraction tips: Save money with these quick hacks!​ Songzanlin Monastery: Don’t foolishly buy the 90 RMB ticket online! Go straight to the manual ticket window, tickets plus shuttle bus only cost 55 RMB 🕶️🙏 You can get a free blessing with a prayer bracelet at the mountaintop hall, but remember to be quiet and respectful, don’t snap photos wildly of the monks~ Napahai Lake: Never search “Napahai” directly on navigation! Otherwise, you’ll definitely be taken to a paid horse ranch 💸🐎 The correct way is to search “Huanhu Road,” take bus No. 12 around the lake, and enjoy free views of waterfowl, meadows, and snow-capped mountains—breathtakingly beautiful 🦢🌊 (Riding horses? Ask the price clearly before mounting!) Potatso National Park: November’s colorful forests look like a spilled palette 🏞️🍂 But bring an oxygen tank for hiking! I stubbornly didn’t, and was gasping after just a few steps… The park has lots of little bugs, spray mosquito repellent generously! Transportation insider: The battle between charter cars and buses​ Shangri-La’s attractions are scattered, and bus schedules are pitifully sparse 😭 Carpooling with friends is the most cost-effective, but never trust airport black taxis! Book a car in advance on Trip.com; local drivers often double as guides, telling fascinating Tibetan stories along the way~ ✅ Money-saving bonus: There’s a direct shuttle from Dukezong Old Town to Potatso, buying the ticket plus park entrance as a package saves you enough for a hotpot meal 🍲💃 (Don’t say I didn’t tell you!) Food hits and misses: Yak meat hotpot is legendary, but some trendy restaurants disappoint​ A certain popular Tibetan restaurant in the Old Town had a one-hour wait, but the yak meat was so tough it got stuck in my teeth 🦷⚡ Then I found a small alley restaurant called “Lixing Specialty Tibetan Cuisine,” where the hotpot broth was incredibly fresh, and the barley cakes dipped in butter tea were so good I licked the plate! ✅ Must-eat list: Yak meat hotpot (about 80 RMB per person), roadside mom’s freshly baked barley cakes, yogurt sprinkled with sugar… Warning! If you have a weak stomach, don’t try raw dairy products—trust me, it’s a half-day bathroom tour 🚽💨 November’s exclusive romance: Few people, stunning scenery, like having the place to yourself​ This season in Shangri-La is full of hidden perks! Migratory birds flock at Napahai, morning mist swirls around the golden roof of Songzanlin Monastery, no crowds fighting for spots at the prayer wheels in Dukezong Old Town… At night, dance the Guozhuang with Tibetan aunties, and when cold, retreat to a teahouse for butter tea, instantly healing all fatigue 💫🌟 Most unforgettable was stargazing at Guishan Park, the Milky Way shining like special effects—at that moment, I suddenly understood what “the sun and moon in the heart” means 🌌💖 Ultimate tips: Listen to these before you go​ ▪️ Step over temple thresholds, don’t step on them! Turn prayer wheels clockwise~ ▪️ Buy souvenirs at local markets, compare prices for Tibetan silver jewelry, don’t impulse buy! ▪️ Bring colorful scarves and sunglasses, they brighten your photos and protect from wind! ▪️ Slow your pace: when it rains on the plateau, stay cozy in the guesthouse by the fire; when it’s sunny, rush outside—being spontaneous is the right way to enjoy Shangri-La! Autumn in Shangri-La is a dream with lasting impact 🍁 Even after returning, flipping through photos still makes my heart flutter… Here’s the guide, the rest is for you to experience in person! 💃❤️🔥

If there’s only one thing you do this spring, let it be watching a sunset in one of Adelaide’s most popular sunset lookouts 😍 📍Mount Osmond Lookout It’s looking absolutely sensational right with all the flowers in bloom! Ughhh what a way to end a day 🥹✨ But it does get soooo busy so do head out there early! You can park along Hayward Dr and walk along an easy trail to get to the lookout. This is your sign to go! #southaustralia #sunsetplaces

From the hotel, we could see Sydney Tower, constantly surrounded by its presence. By chance, we stumbled upon its ground floor entrance and decided to go up and take a look! We purchased instant confirmation tickets online and followed the signs to the fifth floor. Unexpectedly, we took a photo for verification and joined the tourists heading towards the elevator. Finally, someone asked if we had tickets, and after scanning our e-tickets, we smoothly made our way upstairs! It was just the right time for the sunset, offering a golden view of Sydney Harbour, a glimpse of the Opera House, Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, and more! The city lights slowly began to illuminate the nightscape. Sometimes, accidental encounters lead to wonderful experiences!

If you’re looking for adrenaline just outside of Sydney, abseiling in the Blue Mountains is the ultimate day out. 🏞️🧗♀️ We tackled cliffs up to 30 metres high, rappelling down sheer rock faces with epic views over the Jamison Valley. Whether you’re a beginner or thrill-seeker, most tours start small (around 5–10m descents) and build up to the big drops — with expert guides coaching you every step of the way. And the reward? Unreal panoramas, heart-pounding fun, and a massive sense of accomplishment. 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park (tours often depart from Katoomba) 🚗 Getting there: ~2 hrs drive/train from Sydney 🧢 What to bring: Activewear, closed shoes, water, courage! Abseiling is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains — from a whole new perspective. #tripcom #bluemountains #abseilingaustralia #outdooradventure #explorensw #visitaustralia #katoomba #naturelovers #thrillseekers #epicviews #sydneydaytrip
