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

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.

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.

❣️ 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.

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!

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

✅ 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 ✨.

Shanghai is just a 30-minute high-speed train ride away from this ancient town!
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 "Good League Member".
📸 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.

Nhâm cafe
#vietnamtrip
The restaurant is quite famous and has a stable number of customers. I have been there since the restaurant first opened, but I just posted this post now 🥹 and my previous experience was better than the present.
The space is extremely spacious, with two floors and a large garden, the ceiling is high so it always feels airy and not stuffy, it is invested quite carefully so you can take pictures from almost any corner, the yellow lights are soft, the space is quiet so it feels quite relaxing.
The menu is a minus point because it only has simple drinks with normal taste, not very special, you should review this part, the price is also quite high compared to the general level here, but in return, the investment in the look is very careful, focusing on the decor so it feels worth it, in addition to drinks, there are also cakes, prices from about 45 to 75k.
The restaurant is now open 24/7 so you can come anytime, the restaurant is spacious, has many tables and is almost always crowded and the dishes are served quite slowly. Parking in front of the restaurant.

⚠️Tips
🌸 It is recommended to rent a small electric bike, which is convenient to go anywhere. Sightseeing buses on the island charge by trip.
🌹 Be sure to go when the weather is sunny, the scenery is more beautiful. It was a pity that the weather was bad when I took the photos.
🌹 The sun is strong by the sea, so take sun protection measures. Meizhou Island is not very cold in winter.
🌹 When eating at a seafood restaurant, be sure to check the price first and pay attention to the unit to avoid being ripped off.

Meizhou Island is not far from Quanzhou. If you go to Quanzhou, don't miss this place. It is a niche and romantic island. If you don't want to work, go to this island for a while, enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset over the orange sea, it's really relaxing~
Before leaving Beijing, be sure to visit this century-old church.
Beijing is truly a treasure trove! Having lived here for over 20 years, this is the first time I've discovered such a stunning Catholic church. 💒
Don't miss this place during your short holiday in Beijing.
This is the Xishiku Church ⛪️, which has a history of over 100 years and is the largest Catholic church in Beijing. It has been around for over 300 years and still retains the calligraphy of Emperor Kangxi.
The main building is a three-story Gothic structure with 11 spires at the top, and the building's floor plan is cross-shaped.
The two Chinese-style pavilions outside the church give it a unique blend of Eastern and Western aesthetics.
The church's interior is resplendent, with a golden dome supported by 300 giant columns and 80 stained glass windows depicting the history of Catholicism in China.
The church has a strong Oriental character, and the sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows in the afternoon is incredibly sacred.
Many couples choose to hold their weddings here. 💒 On the day we visited, we saw three couples entering the church one after another.
The church offers different beautiful views at different times of the year. 🌸 In spring, there are crabapple blossoms, and in winter, ❄️ the snow-covered pine trees in front of the church add to its mystery.
⚠️Note:
📍 No. 33, Xishiku Street, Xicheng District
👉🏼 About reservations: No reservation is required, and you can enter the church! However, the main entrance is usually closed, so you need to enter through the small door on the right.

Last year, I visited Huakai Haishang Ecological Park for the first time, and I couldn't forget the beautiful scenery there. This year, I decided to go again. From early November, the kochia began to change color, with red, orange, yellow, and green interwoven together, looking both lovely and unique. By mid-November, although most of them had turned red, they were still colorful. The whole garden was surrounded by warm tones, like a fairy tale world.
There are many viewing platforms and winding paths in the park. You can overlook the whole garden from a high place or get close to the charming kochia. In addition, pink muhly grass and other colorful flowers are scattered among them, which are very suitable for taking photos.
Huakai Haishang Ecological Park is located in Xiujing Village, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, and is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm every day.

I Found a Stunningly Beautiful Town in Europe
In Europe, countless charming towns are hidden away like dreams, and Giethoorn, Netherlands, is one of these shining pearls, enjoying the reputation of "Little Venice of the Netherlands."⭐️⭐️
📍 Location:
Giethoorn, nestled in the province of Overijssel in the northeastern Netherlands, sits quietly in the embrace of Weerribben-Wieden National Park.💥
⭐️Attraction Information:
Although Giethoorn is just a small village, it has the resounding name of "Venice of the North." The idyllic scenery here is picturesque, with crisscrossing canals winding through it and quaint thatched houses scattered throughout, forming a tranquil and peaceful rural landscape.
Stepping into Giethoorn is like stepping into a paradise. There is no noise from modern transportation, and 176 arched bridges, like ribbons, connect the entire village. As far as the eye can see, the water ripples gently, and the reflections of trees and houses intertwine in the water, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Founded in 1230, Giethoorn has a rich history. The various islands in the village are ingeniously connected by more than 100 small wooden bridges. The area is shaded by lush trees, filled with the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, and permeated with an air of tranquility and leisure, making it impossible not to be captivated.
🎈 Tour Guide:
Giethoorn's waterways are crisscrossed and accessible in all directions, and renting a characteristic electric flat-bottomed wooden boat is the best way to explore. Gently cruising through the waterways, you can listen to the boatman tell the stories behind each house while experiencing the unique elegance and comfort of the place.
1️⃣Boat Rental: It is recommended to go early, arriving before 10:00 am, when there are fewer tourists. There are various ways to explore Giethoorn, including walking, cycling, renting a boat, and taking a sightseeing boat, among which renting a boat is the preferred option. Boat types are categorized by passenger capacity and class, and prices vary. The cheapest 4-seater boat is approximately EUR 20/hr. There are also four or five rental locations on the village's main street, but the prices are relatively higher (the boats may be somewhat better). For example, one rental location offering boats with steering wheels charges EUR 30 per hour, with a minimum rental period of two hours. There is also a type of boat with an engine at the stern and a joystick for steering, which is slightly cheaper.
2️⃣Sightseeing Boat: Taking a sightseeing boat is also a good choice, and a free hot drink is included. A one-hour boat trip around the eastern part of the village costs only EUR 7.50, offering excellent value for money.
Try the Dutch specialty—Hollandse Nieuwe haring🥩🥓
On the main street, there is a fast-food restaurant that sells the legendary Hollandse Nieuwe haring (HARLING). This is considered a Dutch specialty. Slices of white-fleshed, gray-skinned haring are marinated in pickled onions and eaten raw. It may not look appealing, but it is said to be delicious. The price is also reasonable.
🚘 Transportation:
If you choose to travel by train, you can first arrive at Steenwijk station (approximately a 2-hour journey from Amsterdam Central Station). The bus station is right outside the train station. Transfer to bus route 70 and get off at Giethoorn, Dominee Hylkemaweg (approximately a half-hour bus ride, with buses departing every hour) to reach this dreamy town.
