《A guide to traveling cheap in Georgia: drink red wine 🍷 as water, the scenery is so beautiful that it’s unfair, and your wallet can still go home alive!》

【Things to know before departure】
1. Visa:
- ✅Chinese passports are visa-free! You can go whenever you want, without even seeing a visa officer, and save money on a barbecue 🥩.
- ✅But remember to print the return ticket reservation form, otherwise the customs uncle may look at you with suspicion (don’t panic, smile + pretend to be good).
2. Currency:
- ✅Georgian Lari (GEL), 1 GEL ≈ 2.7 RMB (2023).
- ✅The airport exchange rate is a rip-off, find the "**Bank of Georgia" ATM in the city to withdraw cash directly, the handling fee is so low that it is negligible.

【Poor but comfortable accommodation guide】
- Tbilisi Youth Hostel:
- ✅Fabrika Hostel (Internet celebrity youth hostel, 30-50 GEL/night, a paradise for social maniacs, with impromptu jazz parties at night).
- ✅Pushkin 10 (literary retro style, the owner will give you a glass of homemade chacha).
- Batumi Sea View B&B🏨:
- ✅Guest House Mari (80 GEL/night, balcony directly overlooking the Black Sea, the breakfast made by the landlady can feed a bear).
- Mine avoidance:
- ✅Don't stay in the alleys too deep in the old city, otherwise the navigation will crash, and you will be wandering in the maze of Tbilisi until dawn.

【Foodie Radar: The joy of carbohydrates + alcohol】
1. Must-eat list:
- ✅Khachapuri (cheese bread🍞): Georgian national dish, calorie bomb, eat a bite to gain three pounds, but it's worth it!
- ✅Khinkali (big soup dumpling): The correct way to eat it - take a small bite to suck the soup first, otherwise you will spray the person opposite you in the face (don't ask me how I learned it).
- ✅Churchkhela (nut candy string): It looks like a candle on the outside, but it is sweet and sinful on the inside. It is a must-have "life-saving artifact" when hiking.
2. Restaurant Amway:
- Tbilisi:
- ✅Salobie Bia (20 GEL per person, local canteen, Khinkali is bigger than a fist).
- ✅Shavi Lomi (Internet celebrity restaurant, the environment is like a forest, you can get 100 likes by taking photos and posting them on Instagram).
- Sighnaghi:
- ✅Okro’s Wine (the soul of the wine town, 5 GEL a glass of red wine, drink until you are slightly drunk and watch the sunset).

[Free happiness]
- Tbilisi:
- ✅Wandering in the old town: free! Colorful wooden balconies, exterior views of the sulfur baths (you have to pay to enter), and more wanderers than tourists.
- ✅Dry Bridge Market: Hunt for Soviet antiques (bargaining tips: pretend to leave, the boss will call you back).
- Kazbek:
- ✅Hike to Gergeti Trinity Church**: Free! Snowy mountains + lonely church, like a Windows desktop turned into a spirit.
- Batumi:
- ✅Ali & Nino sculpture: Watch two steel lovers hug and separate every day for free (dog abuse scene).
---
【Anti-pit Easter egg】
- ✅ Taxi does not use meters? Bargain directly, the upper limit in Tbilisi is 10 GEL, otherwise the driver will think you are stupid and rich.
- ✅Beware of the "free wine tasting" trap-you may not be able to resist buying a box to take home after drinking (don't ask me how my suitcase 🧳 is overweight).

[The last sentence is heartfelt]
Georgia is suitable for: alcoholics, poor people, landscape lovers, Soviet nostalgia lovers, and those who "just want to find a place to lie down, but the circle of friends must be high-end". #Ruge's journey #The place where friends are asked most #Learn to take photos

Walking on the fashionable 🏤Shota Rustaveli Avenue If you are not careful, you may not find the entrance! Open the door and you will see their huge light box hanging at the staircase Don't worry! Go down the stairs boldly! - This is probably a basement or air-raid shelter conversion The decoration of the restroom is very unique After entering the store, the whole space is decorated with many paintings The glass cabinet in the corner is full of butcher knives and bottle openers Some daily necessities, utensils, and old objects are combined It can be seen that the layout is still very thoughtful - 💁 🐟Sour fish Very sour! But it's not the sourness of sauerkraut as we understand it, it's more like fish cooked with sour sauce and herbs. I don't like sourness and think the fish is good. My friend really appreciates its sour sauce. 🍖 Ojakhuri, roasted pork with potatoes I've eaten roasted pork from several restaurants in a row. This one is pretty good. The meat is slightly crispy but not too dry. It has meaty gravy and the roasted potatoes are also delicious. 🐓 Shkmeruli, garlic butter chicken The cream taste is not too strong and very fragrant. For chicken steak, this one is already very good. 🥗 Flower salad An upgraded version of Georgian traditional salad. In addition to tomatoes and cucumbers, some flowers are added. The taste of this flower is quite special. The salad sauce is also different from the traditional salad sauce in other restaurants. 🍒 Cherry drink The taste is very strong, so strong that you can add a lot of ice to dilute it. It is freshly squeezed from meat. 🍸 chacha (green) The alcohol content is quite high. I forgot whether it is mint or some herb. - 🏠 Salobie Bia 🕐 12:00-23:00 📍 Rustaveli Theater, 17 Shota Rustaveli Ave, Tbilisi 🧾 Cash, credit card (UnionPay accepted) 🚽 Available for consumption 🤵🏻♀️ No service fee - My homepage also has many recommendations for food, drink and entertainment in Georgia💖 #Mid-Autumn Festival must-go #National Day travel diary #Romantic date restaurant #Local food #Overseas niche travel destination recommendation
