Breathtaking Yellow Mountains
They say the Yellow Mountains (Huangshan) are some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world, and I must agree. I took a train from Beijing and stayed a night in the town at the base of the mountains to prepare for the hike up the next morning. Although there are lifts to carry you up part way, I chose to hike on foot, which took about 3 hours. I stayed at a hotel for a night at the top to view the sunrise, and the unforgettable, breathtaking views were worth it in spite of the sore muscles and lack of sleep.

a new place to chill at 1912, Nueva Sensa
How to Get There: Take Didi to Starbucks 1912; Nuova Sensa is the restaurant across the street.
a wonderful menu at a very unusual restaurant that is also reasonably priced. The chicken poppers, fries, and chicken patas are all must-tries. My girlfriends and I also enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea of ginger lemon tea, which cost 30 rmb and had a wonderful, soothing flavor. They have a variety of wines and other beverages, so we will definitely return to try those.
Note: a good place for insta pic too ❤️

What a fantastic day for Vietnamese cuisine!
It's Phoo Day today!
What a fantastic day for Vietnamese cuisine.
You must try this restaurant. It is located in Hefei, Anhui, in 1912. It’s simple to locate, merely on a store's third floor. They've got patios too, a good place to chill out and see 1912 Street more.
It features a lovely music, a quiet atmosphere, and a really pleasant vibe.
Despite the menu's limited selection, the cuisine is both good and reasonably priced.
A bowl of beef soup might only cost 30 to 40 rmb.
Personally, I think you should try this one and the rolls. You can have an option of one that is fried and not fried.
To attempt something new is absolutely great. So enjoy 😉

Wuo hu zhan long 🐅 🐉
Village life in Hongcun is picture perfect and you’ll find many an art student capturing the Hui style architecture of snow white washed walls and tiled roofs that reflects so perfectly around South Lake. We visited on a cloudy day at the suggestion of our hotelier having climbed Mt. Huangshan the day before and would recommend adding it to your itinerary when in the area.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000, with over 900 years of history, it’s no wonder that the crooked alleys, many streams and the now museums of authentic Ming and Qing residences enchant visitors every year and even film makers.
Can you guess the movie that helped put this area on the map?

How could riding a tricycle be this much fun?
Getting around in Hefei is a fun thing to do, especially when you get into Sanshigang Park, where the Three Kingdoms Site Park is located. It’s a huge park, so riding a tricycle would be very convenient and exciting. Enjoy the culture, have fun with different activities you can do, even picnics, archery, etc. It's a good place for family and friends. Maybe taking a taxi or didi might be difficult, so be patient or try to walk to the bus stop.

Come play with me and feel like a kid.
The walking street in Yintai Center is a great place to feel like a kid again. Enjoy walking and the mini game stalls where you can play different exciting games to get cute stuff and toys. Just be reminded that they open at a certain time. This year, hopefully in winter again.

indoor heated pool in gloomy, rainy weather
In the cold, wet months, we all require access to an indoor heated pool.
We are swimming and rejoicing in the indoor heated pool while on holiday at the Hilton Hefei.
There are 3 separate pools, two of which are circular heated pools. The third, larger pool, is a nice place to swim.
It has a wonderful ambiance, polite and helpful personnel, and is clean.
A great spot to unwind and treat ourselves.

A look of a luxurious hotel in Binhu, Chaohu
The Country Garden Phoenix Hotel Binhu City in Chaohu is a fantastic place for a city trip or staycation and has a beautiful interior design.
It has spacious conference rooms, a lavish hallway with an exquisite design, and helpful staff.
Unfortunately, the swimming pool isn't open this season.They guaranteed it would be used in July and August.
We can also find a self-service store that is easy and economical.
It's also lovely to see a playground designed for children inside.
We can find a bonfire stand outside the hotel, especially for late-night visitors.
still a must-see location #mytripvlogs#mytripvlog #chaohu #staycation #hotelstay #tripblazers#hotel #hefei #anhui #anhuitravel #china #chinalife #holidayvacation #holiday
Hefei’s European Custom Street
Welcome to Hefei ⭐️
I’ve been living in Hefei for a year and I didn’t know about this cool little area until few weeks ago.
Location : I don’t have the exact location, but if you type Frank’s in your DiDi app, you’ll be at the right place.
Attractions: Nice European architecture, a small walking street, tons of restaurants and little coffee shops. I only went there during the day, but I’d recommend going there for dinner and enjoy the evening strolling around. 😊
⏰ Recommended time: About 2-3 hours.

Xiantong Temple in Huabei China 🇨🇳
Xiantong Temple is located in the city of Huaibei in the province of Anhui in China. It is considered a small city by local standards but the temple happens to be one of their bigger attractions and happens to be located next to some mountains that people hike recreationally.
The temple constantly has monk music playing that tends to relax people as they are exploring around and people can be seen giving candle offerings and praying.
It is worth a day trip to the temple and if you can definitely bring some friends or family with you so that you all can have the experience together.
Would definitely recommend.

Have courage and experience the best 🏔 🌊
#passionpassport
It feels amazing to be near to nature, to experience seeing amazing natural scenery around. Here in Qinglongbay you can try boat riding ( you can choose what kind would you like, and pay accordingly if how many people you will be) For example the minimum price for a small speed boat ferry is 80 rmb per person (6 people one boat). But if you are just 4 like you can divide the price of 480 rmb to 4= 120 rmb each. And definitely it’s worth it, it’s exciting and you can take a lot of pictures.

758 steps 🥾up to the top of the mountain ⛰
#passionpassport
You can take a boat in qinglong Bay, and they will take you to the chosen places you like. For example the nearest one would be the temple that you can walk up, like hiking around 758 steps. It’s a very popular place here in Ningguo, Anhui, China. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and for summer the most less clothes and comfy one too. Remember to be hydrated and no worries there’s a small store up so you can always have a refreshment. You can see a temple and amazing view to the top.

Shuimotingxi scenic spot is a beautiful place to go to for walking, swimming, fishing, exploring the water and mountains, trees, and doing some fun activities that you can find inside the scenic spot. We found a small cave, a lot of interesting plants and animals (frogs). You can see the clear water, amazing different shapes of stones, somehow slippery so be careful on your steps all the time. It’s just so relaxing to feel the breeze, be closer to the nature and just admiring it. Remember to wear comfortable shoes for walking and swimming on the water with stones ( we bought crocs on the street for 25rmb) It’s super comfy and reliable to wear around.

This spot has the best view of the mountains

We decided to stay in a small kinda hotel and we found this Moon River Bay House. It’s a walking distance from the Moon River Bay, and the street where you can have food tripping at night. It has a nice rooftop, you can sit and relax. You can feel the breeze and enjoy the amazing Mountain View. It’s a good place for photography. You can do a photoshoot ( countryside like) of the landscape view of the mountains, trees and the whole village.
From the balcony of the hotel you can also see the simple daily life of the locals. Like doing the laundry in the small stream , bay.
