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.

✅ 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 ✨.

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.

♨️ Half Tatami Double Private Hot Spring Courtyard
A classic double private hot spring courtyard, I always like to stay in rooms with tatami mats, because the photos taken on the tatami mats are always great. The room facilities include a XGIMI projector and giant screen, TOTO toilet, and smart home facilities. Just call "Xiaodu" to control the curtains, lights, and other facilities. The private hot spring pools are available indoors and outdoors, and the temperature can be adjusted. After a soak, I feel so relaxed, and then I can lie in bed and watch a movie in the evening. I can't live without a private hot spring in winter, and I have to stay with Yipiao forever.

Alexandria is not worth it
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

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.

Pink Beach
The pink beach, famous on Instagram, is known for its pink sand, which is due to the presence of red coral fragments. Under sunlight, the beach shines with a pink glow, making it incredibly beautiful. To capture the best photos, a drone is recommended.
Padar Island
This is a gem of the Komodo Islands. The viewpoint on Padar Island is the best place to appreciate the unique terrain formed by three bays. The scenery is especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Flying a drone on Padar Island requires prior registration and a fee of 1000K IDR.

⚠️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.

A poetic getaway in Hangzhou, a tranquil time at Xiang Lake.
My destination this time is Hangzhou, and I am at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Walking to the window, I can see the green Xiang Lake. I chose to come to Hangzhou to experience this unique tranquility and comfort.
I chose to stay at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Here, it is away from the dust but not the city, hidden from the world but not far from the world. Xiang Lake Freedom Manor is located in Xiang Lake National Tourism Resort, and its unique geographical location and architectural style attracted me.
During the day, you can choose to take a boat tour of Xiang Lake. The boat is on the water, and the surrounding mountains and rivers seem to become agile. Whenever the boat passes a small island or a stone bridge, I feel a poetic picture. When the setting sun is on the lake, the golden light makes Xiang Lake more charming.
After nightfall, I chose to stroll by Xiang Lake. Watching a live performance "Xiang Lake Ya Yun" in Xiang Lake opened up another side of this landscape for me. In this quiet night, listening to the sound of water, the sound of wind, and the sound of opera, it is intoxicating. I felt this unique charm and poetry of Xiang Lake.
The accommodation experience of Xiang Lake Freedom Manor also impressed me. The hotel's design integrates natural and modern elements, both ancient charm and fashionable atmosphere. The hotel's facilities are complete, whether it is an indoor swimming pool or a children's playground, gym, etc., it makes people feel the warmth and comfort of home. And the photos taken by the outdoor swimming pool at night are even more refreshing.
During these three days and two nights of vacation in Hangzhou, I felt an unprecedented relaxation and comfort at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. There is not only beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation experience, but also a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature. I believe that this wonderful time will become one of my unforgettable memories in my life.

You will walk through a mysterious tunnel to enter this tranquil world, as if delving into the depths of your soul. At the end of the tunnel, a Buddha statue surrounded by a lotus pond appears before your eyes, with water features and plants inviting you to quietly reflect.
