This place is not only a site of religious faith but also a center for cultural exchange. After my visit, I left deeply moved and look forward to returning to this historically and spiritually rich place.
Macau Hipster Cafe Recommendations
The shop is a hipster café with a completely white entrance and wooden chairs, perfect for taking photos. The restaurant mainly serves shaved ice, but I wasn't in the mood for it that day, so I opted for other desserts instead.ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
✨Caramel Pudding - Hojicha Flavor / Original Flavor (MOP50)
I usually have the original flavor, but it's rare to find hojicha-flavored pudding. The caramel top is very crispy, and the hojicha pudding has a rich, fragrant taste with moderate sweetness. It also comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream covered in lotus biscuit crumbs, which is amazing. 🥰🥰 The original flavor has a strong egg aroma, but the hojicha flavor is even more special!

Luhu Park is so beautiful.
Today, I visited Luhu Park and felt exceptionally happy. The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and the shimmering lake surface made me feel incredibly relaxed. I strolled along the lakeside path, with birds singing in my ears, as if they were offering me a wonderful concert.
The flowers in the park were in full bloom, colorful and attracting many visitors to take photos. I also rented a bicycle and rode along the lakeside, feeling the breeze on my face, which made me even more cheerful. For lunch, I enjoyed a cup of rich coffee and fresh pastries at a lakeside café. It was truly a wonderful day. The beautiful scenery of Luhu Park made me reluctant to leave, and I look forward to coming back next time!
Found a charming cafe while cycling.
With the perfect weather, it's the best time to visit OCT-LOFT for a relaxing low tea and a cup of coffee.
OCT-LOFT is a well-established cultural and creative park in Shenzhen, known as one of the most successful and popular cultural parks in the city. Many locals have probably already visited it.

Cycling in the Greater Bay Area is really a great activity.
Short to Medium Distance Cycling in the West 🚴
Futian Port > Shenzhen Bay Mangrove Ecological Park > Dasha River Cycling Greenway
The route from the port to the mangroves is mostly urban bike paths, but it's a bit far 🚦
Many people have been to the mangroves, which are by the seaside outside of Happy Coast, across from Tin Shui Wai 🎡
Dasha River is a pleasant surprise, similar to an upgraded version of Shing Mun River, and the restrooms even have showers 🏞
From the end of Dasha River, you can cross the overpass to reach MixC World

This dish was a bit dry with less oil, but it had a strong garlic aroma. The smoked salmon slices were also quite large 👍.

This large drink can be shared by 2-3 people. The lemon tea was very fresh with just the right amount of sweetness. It had a light honey flavor, and the yuzu made the lemon tea even more refreshing and thirst-quenching.

The main goal of this trip to Phuket was to play golf. Laguna Golf Phuket is a well-known local course, offering a challenging experience with beautiful scenery. The caddies are very professional and helpful, allowing me to focus solely on my game. They even gave me tips, almost helping me make that one shot into the hole! There weren't many visitors that day, so the pace was very enjoyable.
Considering the weather in Thailand, if you don't want it to be too hot, it's recommended to start your game early in the morning.
