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
Take a taxi or bus for 20–30 minutes to reach the town.
🎁 [Before you go]
⚠️ To celebrate the opening of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou High-Speed Railway, high-speed train passengers can exchange their tickets for a free pass to the scenic area at the Lili Visitor Center within 7 days of arriving in Wujiang. 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.

♨️ 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.

Chengdu - Qingyang Temple - Flowering Plum
The flowering plums at Chengdu's Qingyang Temple are now at their peak!
The flowering plums at Qingyang Temple, anticipated all year, are finally in bloom!
Resembling both plum and peach blossoms, yet neither, this flower is a hybrid of the double-flowered pink plum and the purple-leaf plum, a mixed-blood variety.
Qingyang Temple, originally named Qingyang Si, was first built during the Zhou Dynasty, approximately 3,000 years ago.
Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty took refuge in Sichuan and used this temple as his temporary palace, hence the name change to Qingyang Temple. The existing buildings were gradually rebuilt and restored during the Qing Dynasty, under the reign of Emperor Kangxi.
Currently, 80% of the flowering plums are in bloom, and the flowering period is expected to last for another week, so visit soon!
The flowers are low-hanging, making them perfect for portraits without the need for elevation.
Next to the flowering plums stands a 240-year-old camphor tree, which served as the prototype for the fruit tree in the 1983 version of *Journey to the West*, in the scene where the fruit of immortality is stolen. During filming, the art department significantly modified the base of the tree, adding a pedestal, which makes it look slightly different from the "fruit of immortality tree" in the show.
Location: Qingyang Temple, Chengdu. The plum blossoms are located to the right of the Sanqing Hall.
Subway: Take Subway Line 5 to Qingyang Temple Station, Exit C. Direct subway access!
Food and Drink: Vegetarian meals are served at 11:30 am for CNY 15 per person. If you get tired from taking photos, there's a teahouse in the Tangwang Hall where you can relax and enjoy some tea.
Nearby Attractions: Culture Park, Sui and Tang Dynasties Kiln Site Museum, Baihuatan Park, Sichuan Museum, and Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum are all nearby. You can choose to visit any of these attractions that interest you.

🌸 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.
.
Meizhou Island is not far from Quanzhou. If you go to Quanzhou, don't miss this place. It is a niche and romantic island. If you don't want to work, go to this island for a while, enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset over the orange sea, it's really relaxing~
First time traveling to Jeju Island, I recommend copying this travel guide
Taking advantage of the weekend holiday and visa-free policy
With just 1.5 hours of flight✈️ time, I flew from Ningbo to Jeju Island
I stayed in a countryside homestay in a seaside village in Hallim-eup
This is a typical Jeju Island🏝️ stone house🛖
The accommodation space is Japanese-style, mainly in wooden tones
Not far from the door is the fishing village port⚓️ and offshore wind turbines
Sitting on the lawn of the courtyard🏡, you can feel the gentle sea breeze blowing
🔵Sharing some beautiful photo📷 spots in Jeju Island
❶ Seongsan Ilchulbong, the left check-in point is free and does not require a ticket🎫
❷ Udo Island, taking a speedboat🚤 you can see five attractions on Udo Island, very worthwhile
❸ Aewol-eup, Coffee Street, cafes like Team Blow☕️ are very photogenic
❹ Lazy Pump, near Aewol-eup, 🈶 a piano🎹 on the cliff and a window with a sea view, very beautiful
❺ Woljeong-ri Cafe Mou Moon, this window can see wind turbines and the sea
❻ Hamdeok Beach, Cafe Delmoondo, this place is also very photogenic
❼ Book Coffee in the old town, a bookstore in an alley, very quiet and liked
❽ Gwangchigi Beach, near Seopjikoji, this beach has a patch of moss, in winter it feels like Iceland, now the beach is full of white crinum lilies🌸
✔️ The homestay here checks out at 11 am and checks in at 4 pm. If you need to store your luggage🛅 in advance, you can contact the host
✔️ Hygiene is very important here, you need to take your own trash or put it in the designated place outside
Evangeline_7_Nightshade_91 Sydney🇦🇺｜5-Day Itinerary Recommended by International Students (Non-Exhausting Version)
As a former international student in Australia, I still want to write a post to record my favourite Sydney ~ I've brought my family here twice since graduation, so I'll share the places I think I must must must must visit!
Itinerary ✈️
🌟Day 1: Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Chinatown, Lover's Harbour
We recommend staying near the Opera House, you can see the sea view every day and the traffic and food is very convenient. Opera House at 4 or 5 pm to find an outdoor restaurant to sit until the sunset, really beautiful ~
Night to go to Chinatown, and then walk a few steps to Darling Harbour, Valentine's Harbour, every Saturday there are fireworks 🎆 recommended seafood restaurants Nick's restaurants
🌟Day 2: Taronga zoo, Observatory
-Take a ferry from Circular Quay to Taronga zoo and get off the boat, see the kangaroos and koalas, and enjoy the harbour bridge and opera house from the sea! Absolutely beautiful! The zoo is also by the sea, definitely the most beautiful zoo I've ever seen!
-Go to The Observatory Hill Park at dusk to watch the sunset, the scene is very much like a heart-thumping film scene!
🌟Day 3: Beachcombing～!
Take the ferry from Circular Quay to Rose Bay, then Watsons Bay, then Bondi (Sydney's most famous and crowded beach).
I recommend Diamond Bay the most! It's a cliff view! It's very out of the film and not too crowded!
🌟Day 4: University of Sydney, Art Gallery of New South Wales
Sydney University is worth taking the time to see, come to Harry Potter building to see, we took graduation photos are here, the old castle that is the sense of vision!
Then go to the art gallery to hang out ~ there are real paintings of Van Gogh and Monet!
🌟Day 5: Shopping 🛍️
Finally open the shopping mode, after all, can be tax-free is really cheaper than domestic. Recommended to go to Queen Victoria BuildingQueen Victoria Building here has a hundred years of history, retro decoration ~ can be around this neighbourhood shopping, all kinds of brands have ~
Then go to eat super hot watermelon cake Black Star Pastry really I will buy one every time I go, strong push!
🌟 Food Recommendations
❕Auvers! I've been here n times, brunch first choice! Near Chinatown
❕ Porcelain (Beijing cuisine) in Chinatown, do not love Western food on the word to eat this certainly will not step on the mine ~ instantly back to the feeling of China!
❕Danjee Korean Restaurant! I've been to Korean food n times!
There are many many more food in Sydney, Japanese food is also very good but I forgot the name ~ the three above are the ones I've eaten n times and still remember clearly!

48 hours Flash trip to Copenhagen? Why not!
Copenhagen.
48-hour flash trip to Copenhagen? Why not!
Copenhagen, known as *the capital of Hygge*, is expensive for everything (except for transportation). Hence, here are 10 free attractions and money-saving tips for Copenhagen:
1. Stroll around Nyhavn. Whether it's daytime or evening, it offers different vibes.
2. Visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum on the last Wednesday of each month for free. The second floor showcases works by Impressionist masters like Monet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin.
3. Visit Thorvaldsens Museum for free every Wednesday.
4. Wondering around the Open market: TorvehallerneKBH in the city center. The food is expensive though, so just feast with your eyes.
5. Wander the streets. Along Gråbrødretorv, Strøget, or Værnedamsvej, you'll find old houses, cafes, and home goods stores filled with Hygge elements.
6. Visit Nordic churches. Surprisingly, most churches in Copenhagen are free to enter. Whether it's the minimalist Church of Our Lady or the grand Frederik's Church with the largest dome in Scandinavia, they bring a sense of inner peace.
7. Explore the Royal Library, and take a walk along the canal to admire Nordic architecture.
8. Check out Nyboder, a filming location for *The Danish Girl*. These rows of simple yellow buildings, built in the 17th and 18th centuries, were once naval barracks. Nearby, Kastellet, a star-shaped fortress, is still an active military base. There are guards at the entrance, but locals prefer jogging around its walls.
9. Travelling from the airport to the city, whether by train or metro, it costs only DKK 30 (HKD 33.6), which is quite reasonable for European airport transportation. Metro day passes are also available—details can be found via the DOT Ticket app.
10. If accommodation in Copenhagen is too expensive, consider staying in nearby cities like Malmö or Helsingør, which are within an hour's travel time. Factoring in transportation costs, it might be cheaper than staying in Copenhagen itself.
Some might say traveling to Scandinavia is always expensive, and that people without money shouldn’t go. But this journey to discover Nordic happiness led me to read *The Little Book of Hygge* before my trip, and I learned that Hygge isn’t about spending more to gain happiness. If high costs make you uncomfortable, you’ve missed the point of Hygge.

Save this guide■ and take your time to experience a different Changsha!

3️⃣ Wuyi Square
4️⃣ Bisha Lake Subway Station

💢💢💢
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!

Just got back from an 11-day trip to New Zealand, and I have some honest thoughts to share...
I joined a small Chinese tour group with three other girls. We were all around the same age, and we got along really well. We took photos of each other and chatted about gossip, which was a lot of fun!
.
I really want to recommend this small tour group! Our tour guide was really nice, and I genuinely want him to have more customers. First of all, he was a good driver. It was already spring when we went, and we could take a helicopter to hike on the glacier! The mountain roads here aren't great, and I was worried about safety if I drove myself. The tour guide drove the whole way, and we didn't encounter any danger.
.
Here are some things I liked about this small tour group (I promise I'm not lying to my online friends!).
.
Transportation: We took a 9-seater business car 🚗, and our luggage came with us. It was spacious and comfortable. Although the roads in New Zealand aren't great, our tour guide was a good driver, so we didn't get carsick. He even took us to see the aurora! We saw it in more than one place! It was so beautiful that I cried.
.
Hotels: The hotels booked by this small tour group were really nice. When I was researching, I found that many tour groups take you to designated hotels, which are very noisy 👯. So before I booked, I specifically emphasized that I didn't want to go to those hotels. I wanted to be comfortable, which would make the travel experience better.
.
Food: To be honest, food in New Zealand is quite expensive 🌮🍤🍧🍛🌭🍖. But since I was there, I had to try the local specialties. I asked the tour guide to recommend a few restaurants. Fergburger in Queenstown was really good. The burgers were bigger than my face, and I couldn't finish one, haha. The lamb chops at a local restaurant next to Wakatipu were also delicious and fragrant, with no mutton smell! The tour guide also helped us book a table at the famous Mt Cook Alpine Salmon farm. The salmon was really delicious! It was just a bit expensive.
.
Group experience: I went alone, so I joined a small group to meet people and make new friends. It turned out to be a lot of fun. If you're going to New Zealand for the first time, you can consider joining a small group 💞.
Cost: Tour fee + airfare and visa + extra food and drinks + Cook Mountain glacier hike + other shopping, totaling 32,000 yuan.
I took super romantic photos of pink cherry blossoms in Chengdu!!
I predict!! In the next two days!!
Chengdu will have a wave of good weather...
I'm begging all the pretty girls in Chengdu to come here and take photos of the cherry blossoms!!!
It's really beautiful ahhh...
·
📸Photo Spots
✔️Enter through the east gate, there is a large area of pink cherry blossoms 🌸 currently in full bloom. There are also many red tulips under the cherry trees. Super beautiful!
✔️Walk straight from the east gate. The pink railing is also a great place to take photos, but the flowers here will take about a week to reach full bloom.
✔️Continue up from the pink railing, go through the black and white piano key stairs, and turn left. There are more pink cherry blossoms in full bloom.
·
📝Photo Tips
✔️Pretty girls can wear JK uniforms, Hanfu, or light-colored dresses.
✔️Prepare some small props: newspapers, straw hats, wicker baskets...they will make your photos even better.
✔️The park is pet-friendly. You can bring your furry friends.
·
This season, not only are there pink cherry blossoms, but also tulips and poppies in full bloom!!
According to the staff, the peak bloom period for the white cherry blossoms here is mid-March.
