I just got back from Changsha with my kids, and I really felt the enthusiasm of the people of Changsha. I want to take my kids to check in and play, but I don't want to be too tired. Save this guide■ and take your time to experience a different Changsha! "My Day Tour Route" Day 1: Bisha Lake Subway Station - Meixi Lake Knot Bridge - Huangxing Square - Wuyi Square Day ❷: Meixi Lake Art Center - Yuelu Mountain - Orange Isle I took my kids to these places: 1️⃣ Orange Isle 2️⃣ Meixi Lake Knot Bridge 3️⃣ Wuyi Square 4️⃣ Bisha Lake Subway Station 5️⃣ Huangxing Square 6️⃣ Yuelu Mountain 7️⃣ Meixi Lake Art Center 💢💢💢 Traveling with kids, rest is so important~ I chose the [The Luxury Collection Changsha Jinmao Hotel], which is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The hotel service is very warm, and you can rest well while traveling. 📍Location It is very close to the subway station, and the subway line 2 goes directly to it. Next to it is the Meixi Lake Art Center, which is very close to Orange Isle, Yuelu Mountain, and the Chinese Knot Bridge. It is very convenient to take photos and check in. Wuyi Square is directly accessible by subway. The hotel room is spacious, and the Meixi Lake Art Center is right outside the window, with a great view! The bath is Byredo, the bathrobe is flannel, and there is Asuri magazine! The children's favorite is the hotel's pet park, where they can play for a long time: horses, deer, alpacas, lop-eared rabbits, piglets, etc. can all interact, and there is also a small playground next to it. The hotel's infinity pool is really romantic, with a great view, and the gym and spa are also very good. The lobby bar combines elegance and modern design. When you are tired of playing, you can have an afternoon tea with both looks and taste. The design is full of Changsha culture, and you can see the little thoughts everywhere. Restaurant🍴 The dining environment of the Wild Restaurant on the first floor is very comfortable, with a wide variety of food in the morning, and it is very delicious.

There are also various internet-famous restaurants around the hotel. I really love Changsha, wait for good weather, and set off again on a weekend~

The flowering plums at Chengdu's Qingyang Temple are now at their peak! The flowering plums at Qingyang Temple, anticipated all year, are finally in bloom! Resembling both plum and peach blossoms, yet neither, this flower is a hybrid of the double-flowered pink plum and the purple-leaf plum, a mixed-blood variety. Qingyang Temple, originally named Qingyang Si, was first built during the Zhou Dynasty, approximately 3,000 years ago. Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty took refuge in Sichuan and used this temple as his temporary palace, hence the name change to Qingyang Temple. The existing buildings were gradually rebuilt and restored during the Qing Dynasty, under the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Currently, 80% of the flowering plums are in bloom, and the flowering period is expected to last for another week, so visit soon! The flowers are low-hanging, making them perfect for portraits without the need for elevation. Next to the flowering plums stands a 240-year-old camphor tree, which served as the prototype for the fruit tree in the 1983 version of *Journey to the West*, in the scene where the fruit of immortality is stolen. During filming, the art department significantly modified the base of the tree, adding a pedestal, which makes it look slightly different from the "fruit of immortality tree" in the show. Location: Qingyang Temple, Chengdu. The plum blossoms are located to the right of the Sanqing Hall. Subway: Take Subway Line 5 to Qingyang Temple Station, Exit C. Direct subway access! Food and Drink: Vegetarian meals are served at 11:30 am for CNY 15 per person. If you get tired from taking photos, there's a teahouse in the Tangwang Hall where you can relax and enjoy some tea. Nearby Attractions: Culture Park, Sui and Tang Dynasties Kiln Site Museum, Baihuatan Park, Sichuan Museum, and Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum are all nearby. You can choose to visit any of these attractions that interest you.

Egypt's second largest city If you are traveling from Cairo for six hours, I really don't recommend it We were on our way back from Siwa/Marsa Matruh and stopped by for a day trip · There are basically no monuments to see The monuments that can be seen are mediocre compared to the attractions on the southern line The Library of Alexandria was rebuilt on the original site (speculated) The Citadel of Qaitbay was also rebuilt on the original site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the original Seven Wonders of the World · The self-driving experience is not very good The roads are narrow and the traffic is chaotic The public transportation we saw was mainly minibuses They stop when you wave I don't know exactly where to go or how to get there · It is definitely impossible to say that there are no scammers or harassment But it is indeed much better than Cairo · 📍Qaitbay Square 📍Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa 📍Pompey's Pillar 📍Library of Alexandria 📍Fish Market Marina 📍SUNRISE Alex Avenue Hotel
