♨️ 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.

Beside Erhai Lake in Dali! I love this beautiful sea view homestay.
Erhai Lake is half of the romance of Dali,

You can also sit in the yard in the sunny afternoon, drink afternoon tea, and look at the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake. It seems that time has stopped. You can also enjoy the sunset at sunset. I like this relaxation!
Downstairs is not only a small courtyard with a strong ins style, but also a sky on the top of the building. Every shot is a big movie. Come and have a romantic encounter with Erhai Lake~

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.

No Special Forces! 3-Day 2-Night Family Trip to Changsha
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. My two kids are very satisfied with the food every day! The dinner buffet is very complete, with a variety of global dishes, and you can also eat local Hunan cuisine! 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~
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.

I want to ask everyone why no one travels to Cambodia anymore?
Just came back from Phnom Penh, it feels like there are so few tourists, far less than the plane full of Chinese tourists when I went to Siem Reap a few years ago.
Do you still have interest in Cambodia?
In fact, Phnom Penh is much more prosperous than I imagined, apart from the higher prices, it doesn't seem as chaotic as rumored. Here's a Citywalk route in the city for your reference:
👣Wat Phnom - Central Market - Royal Palace of Phnom Penh - Mekong River
Except for the Grand Palace, there are no admission fees, which is very suitable for tourists to stroll around.
1️⃣ Central Market
Originally a French church, it was later turned into a market. The interior dome is very distinctive, and they sell everything, but just looking is fine, no need to buy.
2️⃣ Wat Phnom
A typical Southeast Asian temple, right in the city center, close to everything, not very big, just for a leisurely walk. If you have been to Angkor Wat, you will find Wat Phnom too ordinary.
3️⃣ Royal Palace of Phnom Penh
Probably the most worthwhile place to visit in the Phnom Penh city area.
Admission is 10 US dollars (really expensive).
The open part is not much, but the architecture is still exquisite, and there are few tourists. Feeding pigeons at the entrance is also nice. Pay attention to the dress code; tops should have sleeves, and bottoms should be below the knee.
4️⃣ The Mekong River is very suitable for walking, and there are quite a few people running in the morning. Watching the sunset is nice.
🏨 Hotel: Rosewood Phnom Penh
I just found out that there is a Rosewood in Phnom Penh, located on the top floor inside the Vattanac Capital Tower, boasting all the high-altitude scenery of Phnom Penh, with the entire cityscape and the world-famous Mekong River in view. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to all major attractions.
☑️ It blends modern and traditional styles, with both old money vibe and artistic sense.
☑️ The dining options are rich and varied. I tried the Brasserie Louis restaurant on the 35th floor and the dazzling Chinese restaurant on B1 for everyone. I love the Hong Kong-style roast meats and pig's trotter noodles, saying it's the best Chinese food in Phnom Penh is not an overstatement.
☑️ You must go to the sky bar on the 37th floor for a drink! The cantilevered terrace is really amazing, with the sunset and city night view in full view.
☑️ The hotel has its own tuk-tuk, no need to be cheated by roadside tuk-tuks anymore.
PS: Be sure to negotiate the price before getting on a roadside tuk-tuk; I think the security is okay, but it's still better not to go out alone at night; take good care of your belongings, if you have a camera, try to hang it around your neck.

Don't miss this spot when you travel to Nairobi, Kenya!
Finally set foot on the magical land of Kenya!🇰🇪
I spent a super fulfilling day in Nairobi, using point-to-point taxis throughout the whole journey.
Playing freely and without any pressure.
✨One-day tour route in Nairobi:
Giraffe Centre➡️Karen Blixen Museum➡️National Museums of Kenya
You must visit the National Museums of Kenya when you come to Nairobi!
It doesn't cover a particularly large area, and you can easily explore it in one or two hours.
However, the museum has a rich collection, carrying Kenya's profound historical and cultural heritage.
Stepping into the museum is like opening a vivid historical masterpiece.🦋
From the ancient Kenyan tribal culture to the social changes during the colonial period, and then to the vigorous development after independence, precious cultural relics and detailed information from various historical stages are all presented here.🪄
The lifelike animal specimens in the museum are also amazing.💐
They vividly restore Kenya's diverse wildlife ecology.
From the lion, the king of the grasslands, to the agile antelope, and then to the huge elephant, each specimen is exquisitely made.🦒
It makes people feel as if they are in the vast wilderness of Kenya.
Here, you can not only appreciate the beauty of animals' forms🦁
but also gain an in-depth understanding of their living habits and habitats.
You can have a more comprehensive understanding of Kenya's unique ecosystem~
There is also a snake park next to the museum, which you can visit if you have time.
💡However, I have to complain that buying tickets here is really inconvenient.
Just like the Karen Blixen Museum, you can only buy tickets using the local M-Pesa.
So everyone must allow enough time!

If you're staying at a B&B,
they'll take you on a short hike, about 1 hour long.
If you want a longer route,
the hike is about 4–6 hrs.

🌴Scenery along the way:
Along the way, you can trek through jungles, climb hillsides,

🗺️ Route
d1 Dajingfan → Dukezong Ancient Town
d2 Songzanlin Monastery → Napa Lake → Black Bean Coffee
d3 Pudacuo National Park
.
day1
➡️ Dajingfan
Arrive at Dajingfan around 12:00, when the lighting is best for photos. We recommend wearing Tibetan clothes for the best photos.
➡️ Dukezong Ancient Town
We recommend these shops: "Sangji Weina Vintage Bookstore, Old Tibet, and Pugu Cang." They're all great to visit. The classic photo spot in the ancient town is shown in picture 2. Navigate to "Zangjiwang Inn" and then go to Guishan Park to overlook the ancient town and spin the prayer wheel.
.
day2
➡️ Songzanlin Monastery
Known as the "Little Potala Palace," it is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan. It's a great place for photos! Highly recommended!
➡️ Napa Lake - Black Bean Coffee
The view from the window is stunning, and there's a healing little farm! Take bus No. 3 from Songzanlin Monastery to Hongtaiyang Square Station, then take bus No. 12 to Napa Lake. Bus No. 12 is a loop line, with the starting and ending points both at Hongtaiyang Square. Get off at Napa Lake when you see the beautiful scenery. Take bus No. 12 back to Jiantang Police Station (near the north gate of the ancient town).
.
day3
It's easy to get altitude sickness when you first arrive, so we recommend staying around the ancient town. On the third day, you can go further: Yubeng, Pudacuo National Park, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Meili Snow Mountain, etc.
➡️ Pudacuo National Park
Bus: Buy tickets at the Dukezong Ancient Town East Gate Bus Station (CNY 15 per person).
Self-driving: Navigate to the Pudacuo National Park Ticket Office. There are parking spaces at the entrance. The drive takes about 30 minutes.
.
🔖 Tips
❶ The temperature difference between day and night is large, so dress warmly. The UV rays are strong, and the weather is dry, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated.
❷ Try not to wash your hair on the first night. Eating less meat can help reduce altitude sickness. Open the window a little at night to improve air circulation, which can help relieve altitude sickness.

I unearthed a hidden gem of a luxury homestay nestled within the Yuanyang Rice Terraces!
❗️The weather during my trip to Yuanyang wasn't ideal. The sun only peeked out for a bit on the first day when I arrived at the homestay. Thankfully, the homestay itself made up for it, bringing my rice terrace experience back into positive territory!
💗Shengtian Manshanlai consists of three yellow houses located in the valley of the Duoyishu scenic area.
👉Figure 2 shows a view from the parking lot looking down. The scenery is beautiful with the sunlight around 5 or 6 o'clock.
👉Figures 3-7 capture the view from the balcony of my room right after check in. Who needs Aichunlan when you have a sky mirror right here?
You can go down to the rice terraces and capture photos of the Hani people working.
There's a dedicated shuttle service between the homestay and the parking lot, making it very convenient to come and go.
👉Figures 10-12 showcase the room's decor, which I absolutely adored. The simple yet elegant design, with attention to detail in every corner, creates a wonderful ambiance. The room is equipped with a 4K projector, a smart toilet, and a huge window-side bathtub. You can also watch the sunrise over the Duoyishu Rice Terraces from the rooftop.
🌧️The fog and rain on the second day revealed another side of this ancient village, a truly calming experience. I loved sitting by the window, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, especially with the peach blossom tree outside. After breakfast, I strolled around the village, taking some atmospheric photos. The tranquil Duoyishu exuded a gentle yet pure power.
