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.

LALALAND CAFE
#vietnamtrip
Just like the
phrases above, the shop owns beautifully designed space. Classic European style, exudes elegance and nobility. Meticulous investment and attention to every small detail.
Past time, the shop was under the management of Phin Deli Coffee brand. With a reasonable price, only 30k or more and no additional Vat. Later, Phin Deli leaves and is hired by another place to change the name to Lalaland Cafe. Space and everything are still intact, only the price is higher than before and there is additional Vat, service fee. Enough to understand for such a beautiful space but compared to Saigon, the price is still much easier to breathe.
Address: Khu đô thị Aqua City, Long Hưng, thành phố Biên Hòa , Đồng Nai.

Pingtan | Breathtaking Santorini-Style Ocean View Rooms on a Cliff
I searched with my friends for a relatively less-known place to see the ocean, and we finally chose Pingtan. It was the right choice!
🌊Pingtan has an understated beauty, perfect for a relaxing and comfortable vacation.
After much comparison with my friends, we chose the Pingtan Ximo Cliff Ocean View Hotel, and it was amazing!
We were extremely satisfied with our stay. 😍 The hotel environment was comfortable and beautiful, with snow-white ocean view rooms, just like Pingtan's own Santorini.
Located on the cliffs of Pingtan Island, it not only offers beautiful scenery but also faces the sea directly. 🌊
The room has floor-to-ceiling windows that directly face the ocean, allowing you to enjoy the sea view while lying down.
You can watch the sunrise and sunset from your bed; it's incredibly romantic. 🌅
The room design is simple and sophisticated. I especially loved the oversized bathtub in the room. Taking a bath at night was pure bliss. 🛁
The hotel's infinity pool is also perfect for a relaxing vacation.
The view of the ocean and sky merging from the pool is stunning; every photo is a masterpiece.
In the evening, the sunset casts a golden glow on the sea, creating a magical atmosphere.
The nights were quiet, and we slept very well. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves with my friends was incredibly therapeutic.
[Nearby Attractions]
1️⃣ Tannan Bay Beach No. 7: Not far from the hotel, the beach is clean and perfect for taking photos and playing in the water. 🏖️
2️⃣ Haitan Ancient City: The architecture is unique, and you can experience the local culture. 🏯
3️⃣ Pingtan Blue Tears: If you visit during the right season, you can see the magical blue tears at night. 💧
[Tips]
- It's recommended to book in advance, especially for ocean view rooms, as they are very popular!
- Bring a light jacket, as it can be windy on the cliffs at night.
- For photos, it's recommended to wear light-colored clothing, which complements the ocean view better!
In short, this hotel is definitely worth visiting again and again. I'll stay here next time I'm in Pingtan!
Beijing Metro Line 3 Finally Opens After Half a Century
On December 15, 2024, Beijing Metro Line 3 finally opened after 60 years of waiting 🎉
I had seen the reserved mysterious platform at Dongsi Shitiao 🚉
The metro line was first proposed in the 1970s
After 60 years, it finally returned to the Beijing metro network family~
Beijing Metro Line 3, like Lines 1 and 2, is one of the earliest planned lines in Beijing
In 1956, five Soviet experts came to Beijing and guided the drawing of the earliest Beijing metro plan
When Dongsi Shitiao Station on Line 2 was built in 1971, the platform and concourse of Line 3 were reserved under the concourse
Completed in 1984, it was rated as one of the top ten buildings in Beijing in the 1980s, and the only underground building among them
I remember last time I went to Chengde, I had to take a taxi to Chaoyang Station 🚕
Now the metro is seamlessly connected to 🚄 Chaoyang Railway Station, which is very convenient 🎉
If you like taking photos, you must visit Chaoyang Station
The newly opened west square and concourse of Beijing Chaoyang Station are a bit like Daxing Airport ✈️
The Chaoyang Comprehensive Hub Transfer Station is composed of a single-layer steel box girder reticulated shell structure, which is very spectacular 😮
There are also signs of meeting points on the pillars of Chaoyang Station on Line 3
It's so convenient to meet up with friends, such a thoughtful design ♥️

Soneva Secret Island, the only floating villa in the Maldives
Soneva Secret is located in the westernmost part of the Maldives, in the Kaafu Atoll. This area is rarely visited and is completely undeveloped, with an excellent natural environment and rich marine life. The only resort here has a huge lagoon and is isolated from the world.
The island's facilities are new and complete, with a high coverage of vegetation and good privacy. There are only 14 rooms on the island, including the first floating villa in the Maldives.
The resort offers extremely attentive and thoughtful service, with each villa providing a professional team of three (24-hour butler service, private assistant, and exclusive chef). It redefines the luxury holiday experience in the Maldives.
The resort's culinary team consists of chefs from 14 different countries, including Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, the Maldives, Italy, Indonesia, France, South America, Sri Lanka, China, the Middle East, South Korea, India, and Northern Europe. This means that guests can enjoy cuisine from around the world without leaving the island.
The resort has a Soneva signature kids' club, which encourages children to use their creativity and curiosity while learning and playing, and to explore the mysteries of nature. The resort has professional babysitters, so parents can enjoy their vacation time with peace of mind.
In terms of entertainment facilities, the resort's activity center offers a wide range of activities, such as sunset dolphin cruises and astronomy dinner cruises.

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

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.

Sydney family trip with a 6-year-old, 20,000 steps a day

2️⃣Quest North Sydney 1 night (Sydney weekend room rates are very high, the last night was chosen in North Sydney, there is a subway bus at the door, also thinking of visiting the North Sydney night view, the most important thing is to choose an apartment to cook, fry steak)

Day 1: The night before, flew from Melbourne to Sydney late, woke up naturally in the morning, the first day was mainly a leisurely Citywalk: Hyde Park, St. Mary's Cathedral, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Mrs. Macquarie's Chair, Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney Opera House.
Day 2: Early morning Royal Botanic Garden (because the previous afternoon's Mrs. Macquarie's Chair photo was backlit, the teammate insisted on getting up early, re-punching the Opera House's beautiful location, and it turned out that the morning sea was indeed much more beautiful, 40 minutes round trip); after breakfast and rest at the hotel, took the bus to Bondi Beach; returned to the North Sydney hotel at 4 pm to rest and adjust, went to Lavender Bay in the evening to see the night view, walked along the coastal trail to Luna Park, took a cab back to the hotel, bought steak, lamb chops, oysters, and mussels at a nearby supermarket to make dinner at the apartment.
Day 3: Woke up naturally, took the bus from the North Sydney apartment to Taronga Zoo 🐨, 20+ minutes direct to the north gate of the zoo, all the way downhill, returned to the south gate, took the ferry directly to Circular Quay, no return trip, recommended route! After getting off the boat at Circular Quay, took the bus directly to the University of Sydney, took a little stroll, went to Jeffrey Street Wharf in North Sydney to watch the sunset, very few people, a very quiet and great sunset spot, highly recommended!

💖Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Madurai in the morning and take an auto-rickshaw to the hotel to check in. After a short rest, walk to the Meenakshi Amman Temple. This temple has a rich history, and its exquisite carvings and unique architectural style are truly stunning. It's a great spot for taking photos. I recommend spending about three hours here.

In the afternoon, visit Alagar Hills, which offers stunning natural scenery. From the hilltop, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city. Plan to spend around 2.5 hrs here.
Day 3: Enjoy a full day of leisure activities. You can explore the local markets, find some unique souvenirs, and experience the vibrant atmosphere.

🍱Food Recommendations
I highly recommend Chandra Mess, located near the temple. Their signature dish, mutton biryani, features tender and juicy mutton with perfectly cooked rice, infused with unique spices. It's incredibly satisfying! Also, try the masala dosa, a thin rice pancake filled with spicy mashed potatoes and served with various chutneys. The rich flavors are a must-try!

I stayed at the Madurai Residency hotel, which has a fantastic location. Auto-rickshaws are readily available just steps from the hotel, making it very convenient for getting around. The rooms are clean and bright, the bedding is comfortable, and the front desk staff is warm and welcoming. They helped me plan my itinerary and book tickets, making it a great value for the price.

Shanghai | This place is absolutely beautiful this week.
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. The ticket price is CNY 30, which can be purchased online in advance or on-site. In terms of transportation, it is recommended to take the high-speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao Station to Jinshan North Station, which takes only 18 minutes and costs about CNY 22. After leaving the station, it is less than 3 kilometers from the destination, and it costs about CNY 20 to take a taxi.

Guangzhou 1h | Discover a free mist forest
| Discover a free mist forest. Departing from Guangzhou 🚗 for 1 hour, I discovered a secluded forest wonderland with few visitors.
It hides hundreds of freely growing thousand-year-old olive trees.
Their trunks vary in shape, and their tops are lush with branches and leaves.
It's like a real-life version of the world of Zelda 🖼️
Hidden next to this small village, it seems a bit out of place.
Few people have ever visited, let alone commercialized it.
Having existed for thousands of years, it bears many marks of time.
I saw tree trunks that were dry inside but still stubbornly growing.
I also saw broken and decayed branches that were thick and strong.
And there were spikes left on the trees by people harvesting olives.
I walked into the chaotic moss-covered stones🪨
and marveled at the endless charm of nature~
