I went to Zhangzhou, Fujian with my parents for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ancient city of Zhangzhou has been renovated but still retains its unique charm. The entire ancient city is dominated by red brick colors, but old signs are also preserved. The ground is paved with granite. Most of the shops in the ancient city sell local snacks, but there are also clothing stores, photo studios, and pharmacies. There is a beautiful small river in the ancient city, with willow trees along the banks, creating a pleasant atmosphere. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the ancient city is decorated with lanterns everywhere, making it very beautiful, especially at night. During the long Mid-Autumn Festival weekend, the ancient city is filled with tourists, making it very lively. The most amazing thing is that we saw a few stalls with long queues for food. The ancient city feels a bit like a night market, with many visitors taking photos everywhere even at night. It is currently very popular for girls in China to rent local costumes at photo studios to take artistic photos. So, you can see girls wearing floral hairpins and local costumes everywhere. 💰Average Spending: The food prices vary, with the cheapest being around 9 yuan and the more expensive ones costing several dozen yuan per portion. 🗓️Itinerary: If you don't mind a tight schedule, a weekend is enough. Take the train from West Kowloon to Zhangzhou at 8:42 AM, arriving at 12:14 PM. Arrange accommodation near the ancient city, and after checking in, explore the ancient city until the evening. On the second day, you can sleep in, then explore a bit more before taking the high-speed train from Zhangzhou back to West Kowloon at 5:50 PM, arriving in Hong Kong at 9:28 PM. 💞Recommended Reason: A simple, relaxing, and affordable weekend trip.

Meizhou Island, located in Putian, Fujian, is also known as the Mecca of the Sea because of its famous Mazu Temple, which attracts many devout followers. After arriving at the pier, it takes about ten minutes on foot to reach the Mazu Temple. Notable sights include the several-meter-tall stone statue of Mazu and the golden statue of Mazu. The stone statue is situated on a small hill, and it takes about ten minutes to walk up the stone steps. The entire temple visit takes about an hour. After worshiping Mazu, you can enjoy a bowl of Mazu noodles or Peace noodles. We tried the Mazu noodles and loved them. Don't be fooled by the term 'small bowl' here; it's quite substantial. My parents and I ordered a medium bowl, and it took all three of us considerable effort to finish it. The most worthwhile attraction on Meizhou Island is the Mazu Temple, followed by a spot in the southern part of the island where you can admire unique sea rocks. If your main purpose is to worship Mazu, a weekend is sufficient. Note that during the summer, you should pay attention to the weather and avoid visiting during typhoon season. 🗓️Itinerary: Take the earliest high-speed train from Shenzhen North to Putian in the morning, arriving at 12:43. Then take a bus or taxi to Wenjia Pier. The bus costs RMB 9 per person and takes about 50 minutes. The ferry to Meizhou Island takes about 15 minutes. A regular round-trip ticket, including the entrance fee, costs RMB 125. For Taiwan residents, it's RMB 20. It's free for those over 70. After worshiping, you can return to Putian for the night or stay on the island. The next day, you can continue exploring the island or Putian, and take a train back to Shenzhen North around 5 PM. 💞Recommended because: It's a simple weekend trip.

Address - 23rd Floor, Fuxing Century Building, Futian, Shenzhen Environment/Facilities - Located within the building Features - Very spacious rooms Price per person - $100/person Rating - 7.5/10 This was my first time trying a budget hotel-style apartment in Shenzhen, and I chose Dongfeng•Shanhai Light Residence for several reasons. It is set to open in 2024, and the entire building is in the move-in phase, making it very new. Additionally, the price is quite reasonable, the rooms are spacious enough for a family, and the front desk staff provides good service, quickly addressing any issues. The location is near Huaqiangbei Metro Station, just a five-minute walk away. However, there are some drawbacks, such as the shops in the mall not being open yet, no large shopping centers nearby, and few attractions in the vicinity.

Address - B1 Level, Link Central City, Futian, Shenzhen Environment/Facilities - Authentic Japanese noodle shop style Specialty - Chinese-style Japanese ramen Average Price - $60/person Rating - 7/10 Recently, the B1 level of Link Central City has been transformed into a food space, with many new restaurants and shops opening after renovations. Visiting on a weekend, I found the entire area to be very bright and clean, with an occupancy rate of 80-90%. I chose Menya Pig One for lunch. The shop is not very large but has a decor reminiscent of authentic Japanese small shops. The ramen looks similar to that of authentic Japanese ramen shops but is much cheaper. The taste is acceptable, although the ingredients are locally sourced rather than imported from Japan, resulting in a slightly inferior overall texture.

Longji Rice Terraces are perfect for a weekend getaway. Some people love the green terraces, some prefer the yellow ones, but I personally enjoy the water-filled terraces. We specifically chose a guesthouse with a terrace view of the rice fields, so we could admire the terraces from our balcony. At night, we could hear the croaking of frogs and chirping of crickets, which was quite interesting. The next day, the guesthouse owner drove us to the cable car station, and we took the cable car to a viewing platform to appreciate the terraces from a different angle. There are several viewing platforms at Longji Rice Terraces, but only one is accessible by cable car; the others require hiking, which we skipped due to the heat. Longji Rice Terraces are vast, divided into three main areas. One area is popular with tour groups and sometimes features evening performances and light shows, making it quite lively. It's said to have some nice hotels. The second area is mainly for independent travelers, less crowded, with mostly guesthouses ranging from budget to luxury, though those with better views tend to be more expensive. The third area is still under development. Our guesthouse provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast included the famous rice noodles. For lunch and dinner, you could order dishes. Most guesthouses know how to cook bamboo chicken, chicken soup, and tomato fish. However, be cautious with freshwater fish as they have many bones. Guesthouses usually offer sweet homemade rice wine. The terraces are filled with water in May and June, but it's best to call the guesthouse before your trip to confirm the exact timing, as it depends on the weather. 🗓️ Itinerary: Take the high-speed train to Guilin West Station, then a taxi to the Longji Rice Terraces parking lot, which takes about an hour and a half. Arrange with the guesthouse in advance to pick you up at the parking lot; otherwise, finding the guesthouse on the mountain roads with your luggage can be troublesome. For the return trip, have the guesthouse take you to the parking lot, then either pre-arrange with the taxi driver to take you back to Guilin West Station or find a taxi at the parking lot to take you there.

Gulangyu Island in Xiamen is not very large, located just 600 meters away from Xiamen's downtown area. You need to take a ferry to get there, but be aware that the ferry schedule is quite sparse. The overall feel of the island is somewhat similar to Taiwan's Penghu or Kaohsiung's Cijin. A few years ago, it was officially listed as a World Heritage Site. The most famous feature is its modern Western-style buildings, which come in various styles and unique designs. Notable examples include the British and Japanese consulates, the old site of HSBC's residence, the Bagua Building, the Trinity Building, the Huang Rongyuan Hall, and the Guancai Building. There are truly too many to count, with at least dozens of well-known structures, each with its own unique charm, making it a feast for the eyes.

Address - Ngong Ping Road, Lantau Island Environment/Facilities - Picturesque scenery Feature - 260-step long staircase Average Price - Free admission Rating - 9.5/10 The Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong is located at the peak of Mount Muk Yue on Lantau Island. It is the world's largest outdoor bronze seated Buddha statue, weighing 250 tons and standing 23 meters tall, built in the early 1990s. The Buddha was designed according to the thirty-two aspects of a Buddha as described in the sutras. Its facial features are modeled after the Lushena Buddha in the Longmen Grottoes, while the drapery and head ornaments reference the Sakyamuni Buddha statue in the 360th cave of the Mogao Caves, thus embodying the characteristics of Buddhist statues from the prosperous Sui and Tang dynasties. To reach the base of the Tian Tan, one must climb 260 stone steps. The base is modeled after the Circular Mound Altar at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. The interior structure is divided into three layers: the Hall of Merit, the exhibition hall, and the memorial hall. Along the trail next to the Po Lin Monastery is the 2.5-kilometer-long Ngong Ping Fun Walk, which is wide, flat, and scenic, leading directly to the tea garden, making it most suitable for beginner hikers. Additionally, Lantau Island is nearly twice the size of Hong Kong Island, with most of its area designated as country parks, offering a tranquil environment. Hong Kong International Airport and Disneyland are also located on Lantau Island, allowing for combined visits.
