This is a must-see! I went to Dalian with my best friend and stayed at the Dalian Yidong Hotel. It was amazing! I would call it a &quot;photo paradise&quot; + &quot;thoughtful service ceiling&quot;. I can't believe there are still people who don't know about it!
 
🚪 Stepping into the lobby is like falling into a dreamy space of art. The warm lighting is soft and gentle, and the soft furnishings are very stylish. You can take a picture anywhere and it will look great. They also gave us postcards of Dalian and introduced us to nearby attractions and planned a route for us. I was very impressed!
 
🛏 The room was decorated in a way that really appealed to me and my best friend. The minimalist decor was clean and cozy, and the lighting was great. The sunlight came through the window and onto the bed, creating a lazy atmosphere! The little ornaments in the room were delicate and cute, and we went crazy taking pictures. Every corner was photogenic. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and we fell asleep as soon as we lay down after a long day.
 
📸 The hotel's public areas are also great for taking pictures. The art paintings in the corridors and the spiral staircase are perfect for fashion shoots. There's also a coffee bar! Coffee and snacks are free! The hotel also has a gym, a chess room, a hair salon, and a children's playroom! They also offer free laundry service!
 
🍽 The restaurant is also very nice. The breakfast is varied, the freshly cooked food smells delicious, and the fresh fruit is sweet. They have both Chinese and Western food, and the service is very attentive.
 
📍 The area around the hotel is also very fun. It's just a few minutes' walk to the bustling shopping street, where you can find all kinds of snacks and specialty shops. It's so relaxing to experience the nightlife in Dalian.
 
My trip to Dalian Yidong Hotel with my best friend was amazing! Whether it's taking pictures or enjoying the thoughtful service, it's perfect. If you're coming to Dalian, you have to stay at this hotel!

Two days and one night in Dalian! This hotel is a must!


I happened to be back in Melbourne during Yayoi Kusama's polka dot exhibition, and I definitely couldn't miss it. Many exhibits are being shown in Australia for the first time, and the popularity is evident in the fact that tickets need to be purchased several days in advance.

🎫 How to book:
This exhibition is extremely popular, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance on the NGV's official website to avoid sell-outs.
If you prefer a less crowded viewing experience, it's recommended to book the earliest time slot, around 9:00 am, when there are the fewest people.
💰 AUD 38

❤️ Must-see photo spots:
Most of the amazing photo opportunities are in Part 2.
1️⃣ World premiere! The stunning new work - the kaleidoscopic Infinity Mirrored Room. It's like stepping into a parallel universe!
2️⃣ Australian premiere! The 5-meter-tall sculpture &quot;Dancing Pumpkin&quot; is super cute and incredibly photogenic.
3️⃣ Classic polka dot paintings + immersive mirror rooms + psychedelic sculptures - every room is a great photo op.
4️⃣ Pumpkin Mirror Room: There's a queue, and each person only has about 20 seconds to look around. You won't have time to use a camera here, so it's recommended to use your phone to take pictures through the small opening.

📌 Exhibition tips:
1️⃣ Attire: It's recommended to wear form-fitting clothing in solid colors (black, white, beige, or other low-saturation colors). The exhibition is full of highly saturated colors and patterns, which might be overwhelming for those with trypophobia.
2️⃣ Viewing order: You can scan your ticket and enter up to half an hour before your entry time. You must visit Part 1 before Part 2. If you see Part 2 first, you won't be able to go back to Part 1, as tickets are scanned separately for each part.
3️⃣ Bring a friend who's good at taking photos, and be patient. The popular spots require quick shots and waiting.
4️⃣ There are also many photo opportunities in the public areas on the first floor. You can take photos for free with a pumpkin sculpture, a field of silver balls, and the polka dot balloons hanging from the ceiling in the rest area.
5️⃣ The exhibition merchandise is also great. I ended up buying a polka dot backpack and a makeup bag.

📍 National Gallery of Victoria
⏰ Dates: December 15, 2024–April 21, 2025, 9:00 am–5:00 pm

The incredibly popular Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the NGV is a must-see in Melbourne.

 Africa is not just about the savannah. It is also home to the &quot;original paradise&quot; described by Mark Twain, Mauritius, the pearl of the Indian Ocean. 
This is one of the most popular island resorts for Westerners. It is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to Hawaii. On this subtropical island, you can not only enjoy the unique beauty of the underwater waterfall in Mauritius, but also follow the dolphins and enjoy a romantic vacation with blue waters and white sand beaches. 
In addition, Mauritius is visa-free for Chinese citizens. You can travel smoothly with just a passport and no complicated procedures. The price is not expensive compared to other high-end islands. You can enjoy a high-end island at a mid-range price, which is very cost-effective! 
7 days and 5 nights in Mauritius: 
DAY 1 Arrival, private transfer, check in, free time 
DAY 2 Catamaran dolphin watching, BBQ at sea 
DAY 3 Helicopter tour of the underwater waterfall + lunch at a mountain restaurant + walk with lions 
DAY 4 Free time, book free water activities at the hotel (kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc., subject to hotel arrangements) 
DAY 5 Visit &Icirc;le aux Cerfs, comparable to Tahiti 
DAY 6 Northern cultural tour, visit Port Louis, Royal Botanic Gardens, Red Roof Church, Caudan Waterfront, and the filming location of the movie &quot;Breakup Buddies&quot;, transfer to the airport after the tour 
DAY 7 Return home

Hidden Pearl, Love in Davao - Pearl Farm Beach Resort

I've been living in Dali for 2 years and have started exploring lesser-known cities in Yunnan. I found Mile, a small city just 30 minutes away from Kunming by high-speed rail. I stayed there for two days. There were few tourists, many attractions, great photo opportunities, and delicious food. I want to share it with you all!

🚗 Transportation
High-speed rail: Mile is directly accessible from Kunming, Dali, Nanning, Beihai, Guangzhou, and other cities. You can also transfer in Kunming, which is only half an hour away.
Public transportation: Mile has buses and taxis, and you can also use ride-hailing apps.

🏝️ Attractions
1️⃣ Dongfengyun Scenic Area: One of the most famous attractions in Mile, known for its unique red brick buildings and beautiful natural scenery. The scenic area has many photo spots, such as the Kaleidoscope Art Museum and Half Cloud Lounge.
2️⃣ Lake Spring Ecological Park: A large park in the city with waterfalls, clear water, white sand, and abundant plants. It's a great place for walking and relaxing.
3️⃣ Yunnan Red Wine Manor: You can visit the underground wine cellar, learn about wine culture and production, taste wine, and buy souvenirs.
4️⃣ Keyi Town: A Yi village with attractions such as hand-painted walls and the Acacia Suspension Bridge. You can watch the Axie Tiaoyue Dance and experience Yi culture.
5️⃣ Jinping Mountain Scenic Area: The mountain is home to Mile Temple and the Great Buddha of Mile, a Buddhist cultural site.
6️⃣ Taiping Lake Forest Park: Beautiful scenery with large flower fields and lakes, perfect for outdoor activities and leisure vacations.

🏠 Accommodation
Mile MGallery Hotel: Located in Dongfengyun Scenic Area, it blends in with the scenic area and is one of the most photogenic hotels in Yunnan.
Lake Spring Hotel: A one-stop shop for dining, accommodation, and entertainment, with a hot spring on the mountainside.

🍜 Food
❣️ Braised chicken: A local specialty, the chicken is tender and juicy with a rich braised flavor.
❣️ Lamb rice noodles: Made with fresh lamb and rice noodles, it's delicious.
❣️ Cold rice noodles: Smooth and refreshing, served with special sauces and seasonings, very appetizing.
❣️ Grilled tofu: A local snack, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served with dipping sauce, very tasty.
❣️ Wine: Mile is a famous wine-producing region in Yunnan, where you can taste a variety of high-quality wines.

I've included a map for you to plan your route. Mile has beautiful scenery and delicious food, making it a great city for a vacation. Many elderly people come here for health and wellness. I hope this helps!

I'm still traveling around China with my husband. We've been on the road for 3 years and will share more travel tips with you in the future!

The Internet is right! This hidden gem in Yunnan is perfect for a vacation! 

With the opening of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou High-Speed Railway, more and more hidden gems are being discovered. 
Lili Ancient Town is everything I imagined an ancient town to be. 

After seeing so many commercialized ancient towns, I realized how rare Lili is. There are no cookie-cutter photo spots or grilled squid stalls here. Instead, you'll find small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses with flying eaves. You'll see women washing clothes by the river, old men sunbathing, and shop owners busy preparing lunch. 

Lili's history dates back 2,500 years. As the doors and windows creak open, I cross more than 20 stone bridges and 150 alleys. The old dreams sheltered by the misty corridors fill me with energy as I immerse myself in the ancient town's rustic charm. 
📍 Name: Lili Ancient Town, Wujiang District, Suzhou 
💰 Admission: Free (some attractions charge a fee) 
🚘 Self-driving: 1 hour from Suzhou city center 
🚄 High-speed train: 30 minutes from Shanghai Hongqiao to Suzhou South Station 
Take a taxi or bus for 20–30 minutes to reach the town. 

🎁 [Before you go] 
⚠️ To celebrate the opening of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou High-Speed Railway, high-speed train passengers can exchange their tickets for a free pass to the scenic area at the Lili Visitor Center within 7 days of arriving in Wujiang. You can also use your train ticket to get discounts at hotels, restaurants, and more. 
🎞️ Lili Ancient Town was a filming location for the TV series &quot;Good League Member&quot;. 
📸 If you want to take photos in traditional Chinese clothing or a qipao, you'll need to bring your own clothes and makeup, as there are no costume shops in the ancient town. 
🗺️ The ancient town is small, but the shops are full of surprises. Behind the small storefronts, you'll find intangible cultural heritage crafts, private museums, and time-honored restaurants. Take your time to explore. 
🏨 Accommodation: The ancient town has mid-range and high-end homestays. We stayed at Lixuan Academy, which offers great value for money in the off-season. There are many chain restaurants and drink shops nearby, and food delivery is very convenient. 

🗺️ [Ancient town attractions]

✅ Jiangnan Folk Museum/Dongsheng Hall 
✅ Ancient town boat ride 💰180 round-trip or 130 one-way for 6 people

✅ Liuyue Museum 💰100, half price with a train ticket 
This museum, valued at over 2.2 billion yuan, was opened by an American! The collection includes hundreds of thousands of traditional folk items from all over China, collected over 40 years. It's truly amazing. 
✅ Western Museum (Western Art Museum) 
This museum, which was converted from an old house, features a collection of foreign items owned by Chinese people. The crisscrossing alleys are full of surprises, and the exquisite collection of luxury items from over 350 years ago is breathtaking (98 per person, reservation required).

✅ Anti-theft article
Always remember to bring a mobile phone lanyard when you go to London! It can greatly reduce the probability of being stolen my friend and I did not encounter thieves throughout the whole process ~
⚠️ suggest hanging a mobile phone lanyard ➕ dumpling bag in front of the body, it will be much safer!
⚠️ Keep an eye on everything you own. There are a lot of thieves out there!
⚠️ don't recommend carrying a backpack 🎒 easy to be stolen! Crossbody bags should also be in front of you to be ok
⚠️ Remember the fanny pack must be carried in front of you the whole time, once you go to the side or the back it can be dangerous!!!!
⚠️ pay special attention to not use the mobile phone should also be held firmly, or may end up with only empty phone case
⚠️ usually go out with only mobile phone lanyard, mobile phone, charging treasure, bank card, sunglasses lipstick sunscreen, etc., and student card
⚠️ In short, watch your mobile phone, bag and bank card throughout London! It's easy to lose things!
This trip to London has come to a successful end, the big city ➕ capital is really worth a visit! London has a lot of things that Edinburgh doesn't have, but the overall pace of the city is much faster than Edinburgh! Both cities are beautiful, long-lost bustle vs. quaint serenity, each with their own characteristics ✨.

I found a hidden gem in Chengdu this time
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is just outside the hotel, so convenient~
🌿The design of this hotel is amazing!
The Chinese-style courtyard makes me feel like I'm in an ancient small courtyard, full of cultural atmosphere everywhere
Every corner is suitable for taking photos
Especially the little bear in the yard🐼
It's a great tool for taking photos!
🚶‍♀️ Du Fu Thatched Cottage is just 5 minutes' walk from the hotel
I feel so happy just thinking about it!
And the transportation around is also very convenient
I'm not afraid of getting lost wherever I go
It's definitely the best choice for travel!
🍽️ There are many kinds of breakfast and the time is especially suitable for young people (7:00-11:00). It's just right to go to the scenic spots after breakfast
And if you leave the hotel before 7 o'clock
The hotel will pack breakfast for you
It's really so warm!
💪And it's really well-equipped
There is a luxurious gym and a laundry room with a washing and drying machine
It really feels like home
The environment of the restaurant is also very quiet
It's suitable for drinking coffee and dealing with work in the afternoon
Take a break, it's so beautiful~

On the vast Mediterranean map, Ibiza is like a lost, dazzling pearl, exuding an irresistible charm. Stepping onto this land is like stepping into a dreamland interwoven with natural beauty, historical charm, and a unique artistic atmosphere.

Ibiza's beaches are nature's most stunning masterpieces. The white sand is as fine as powder, shimmering with a golden glow under the sun's kiss. The Mediterranean Sea displays a captivating blue, ranging from light to deep, like a gradient painting. As the waves gently lap the shore, the soft lapping sound is like the sea whispering in your ear. Lie on a beach chair and let the sun shine down on you, or plunge into the crystal-clear waters, play with the waves, and feel the embrace of the sea. All your fatigue will be swept away.

History has left a rich mark on Ibiza. Walking into Ibiza's Old Town is like traveling through time, back to a bygone era. The winding cobblestone streets bear the footprints of time. The white buildings on both sides are scattered in an orderly fashion, and the walls are slightly mottled after years of weathering, adding to the quaint charm. The castle on the top of the mountain stands quietly, witnessing the rise and fall of this island. Standing on the castle walls, the sea breeze caresses your face, and before you lies the boundless sea and the ancient town, bringing a profound sense of history.

Ibiza is also an island full of artistic atmosphere. As night falls, it becomes a sea of music and dance. World-class electronic music parties take place here in turn, with dynamic rhythms and dazzling lights complementing the Mediterranean starry sky. People sway to the music, releasing their inner passion and vitality. Art galleries and handicraft shops in the streets and alleys also showcase the unique creativity of local artists, and each piece embodies a love for life and nature.

In Ibiza, food is also a feast not to be missed. Freshly caught seafood, paired with local olive oil and spices, creates delicious dishes. Tender fish, plump shrimp and crabs, every bite is full of the fresh aroma of the Mediterranean. There are also various colorful fruits, sweet and juicy, adding a touch of freshness to this culinary journey.

Ibiza is a place that makes you never want to leave. It uses nature as its brush, history as its ink, and art as its color, painting a unique and dreamy picture. Here, time seems to slow down, and the soul finds its resting place. When you leave this island, its beauty and uniqueness will forever remain in the depths of your memory, becoming a most precious memory in your heart.
