We have been traveling frequently from Beijing to Chongli this winter season and have had the time of our life. We have a crush on the Thaiwoo resort because it’s very foreign friendly and just such a charming village. For a snowboarder at my level this resort have been more than enough. After graduating from the lovely blue Salsa slope we have almost tried every slope this season and it has been lovely. 🚗 3h drive from Beijing more or less. 🕰️Business Hours: December - March #travel #chongli #winterolympicparkbeijing #thaiwoo

It has been a dream for many years to visit Changbai mountain and I finally made it 🩷 We were so lucky with the weather ☀️ in the mountains that I almost can not believe it. We had set aside a few days just in case the view of the heavenly lake was not clear but we got the best views. After spending time on the top of the mountain for the hotspot of the trip we followed the bus to a valley and a forest that was part of the ticket. Amazing day with amazing nature I must say. Since we had some extra time in the area we also went drifting down the river on a float. Super relaxing and fun activity. Again China never stops to surprise me with its beauty and I am super grateful that I got the opportunity to find the mountain in exceptional good weather conditions. #changbaimountain #travel #travelgram #dongbei

Indonesia, you’ve left me speechless! 🌏✨ Just returned from an incredible 10-day adventure, and I’m still dreaming about the vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Here’s a snapshot of my unforgettable journey: My trip began in Bali, where I stayed in Ubud, surrounded by lush rice terraces and serene vibes. I spent my days exploring the Sacred Monkey Forest, wandering through art markets, and indulging in local dishes like Babi Guling and Nasi Goreng. One highlight was the sunrise hike at Mount Batur – the view from the summit as the sun peeked over the clouds was absolutely magical. Next, I hopped over to Nusa Penida, a paradise of rugged cliffs and turquoise waters. Kelingking Beach took my breath away – it’s no wonder it’s called the “T-Rex Beach”! Snorkeling at Crystal Bay and Manta Point was surreal, swimming alongside manta rays and vibrant coral reefs. From there, I flew to Labuan Bajo to visit Komodo Island. Seeing the Komodo dragons in their natural habitat was both thrilling and humbling. The pink sand beaches and crystal-clear waters made it feel like a dream. My cultural immersion continued in Yogyakarta, where I marveled at the ancient temples of Borobudur and Prambanan. Watching the sunrise over Borobudur, with mist rising over the surrounding mountains, was a spiritual experience I’ll never forget. Finally, I ended my trip in the Gili Islands, where time seemed to stand still. Cycling around Gili Trawangan, snorkeling with sea turtles, and lounging on white sandy beaches was the perfect way to unwind. The sunsets here are unlike anything I’ve ever seen – pure magic. Indonesia, you’ve captured my heart with your beauty and diversity. From the bustling streets of Bali to the serene beaches of the Gilis, every moment was a treasure. Can’t wait to return! #Indonesia #TravelDiaries #Bali #KomodoIsland #GiliIslands #Yogyakarta #ParadiseAwaits #travel#thingstodo#trip

This place was amazing, for rm8/person there was so much to see, so many photos to take, be careful of your phone battery running out 😂 cacti, various flowers, apple trees and some grape vines! Whenever you think you have reached the end of the platform you would be surprised with another flight of rainbow stairs to more flowers or cacti. Though their stairs are even and organised, it may be slightly narrow so watch your steps while coming down) You could also buy the plants they have in the valley at their store (if you just wanted to buy the plants it is free entrance), children (and adults, too) would love the lego flowers they sell. A very short walk from the Big Red Strawberry farm, so you could visit both! #travel #staycation

Slightly dark atmosphere that invites a sense of coziness, with warm, ambient lighting casting soft glows across wooden tables. Faint aromas of coffee are lingering along with the smell of weekend brunch specialities. I found the weekend brunch choices heavily to my likening. The Turkish Breakfast to be radiant with its menemen that was spiced with tomato sauce and pepper. The yogurt dip was quite peculiar but nevertheless had a tangy, intriguing flavor. #australiatrip#travel #thingstodo

#travelinginchina This is Shanghai! Over three days, I followed a classic tourist route. Starting from Wukang Road, with its old - style buildings, I moved to Anfu Road's hip cafes. Jing'an Temple offered a peaceful break, then I shopped on Huaihai Middle Road and the busy Nanjing Road. The Bund was a highlight, with its blend of old and new architecture. I also checked out the Garden Bridge, North Bund, Century Avenue, and Lujiazui's skyscrapers. Yu Garden and The Chenghuang Temple showed Shanghai's traditional side. People often wonder: what's the real Shanghai? The old - world charm of Wukang Road or Pudong's modern skyscrapers? The truth is, both make Shanghai special. I also took great pics at Tianzifang, with its cool alleys full of unique shops, and Xintiandi, where old Shikumen buildings mix with modern structures. Highly recommended for visitors from China and abroad if you got the chance to visit Shanghai don’t miss these common attractions. #trip #travel #localguides #localguides

#travelinspiration My Trip to Seattle North Falls National Park Day 1. Thunder Knob Trail: One - way distance is 1.8 miles. It starts with a rocky road and a small stream. After climbing, it's sunny and hot with many dirt roads. The round - trip takes about 2 hours. The view of Diablo Lake from the mountaintop is great, a must - visit. • Diablo Lake Overlook: Has a parking lot. No need to climb. Spend about 10 - 15 minutes. The view is unobstructed, perfect for photos. • Washington Pass: Wide view of mountains and highways. In summer, snow melts a lot. A 5 - 10 - minute stop is enough. • Three Fingered Jack's Saloon: Arrived at 7 pm on Saturday. Waited 20 minutes for a seat and 50 minutes for food. The food is average, but drinks are refillable for free. • AbbyCreen Inn: Good service, great rooms, an outdoor pool and lawn. Room rate includes breakfast with self - made waffles. Day 2. Rainy Lake Trail: No climbing, fully paved. There's a waterfall at the start. It takes 30 minutes one - way to Rainy Lake. You can boat and swim there. The scenery is not as good as Diablo Lake but still nice with views of snow - capped mountains and waterfalls. • Lake Shannon Recreation Area: On the way back to Seattle. No prior plan, but it turned out great. Access requires a long, bumpy dirt road. People boat, ride water motorcycles, swim, and picnic here. There are pavilions and bathrooms. The only drawback is the car gets very dirty. Highly recommended for visitors who want to see natural places. #travelinspiration #familytrip #trip #travel

#travelinginchina Lugu Lake, located on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in southwestern China, is a breathtaking alpine lake renowned for its crystal-clear waters, serene surroundings, and unique cultural heritage. Nestled at an altitude of 2,685 meters, the lake is surrounded by lush mountains and is home to the Mosuo people, one of China’s most fascinating ethnic minorities. The Mosuo culture is central to Lugu Lake’s identity. Often referred to as the “Kingdom of Women,” the Mosuo society is matriarchal, with family lineage and property passed through the female line. Women hold significant authority in households, and the Mosuo practice a tradition called “walking marriage” (zouhun), where couples maintain separate households and men visit their partners at night. This unique system emphasizes emotional bonds over formal marriage structures, making Mosuo culture a subject of intrigue and study. Highly recommended who like to explore Chine culture and traditions. #familytrip #localguides#trip #travel

#travelinginchina The temple where you can enjoy the snow on Cangshan Mountain and overlook Erhai Lake is worth visiting. The temple is very large and you can purchase a ticket with a one-way shuttle bus. Take the shuttle bus first and walk down from top to bottom. The temple is very large, with many cherry blossom trees, very beautiful. There is still vegetarian food available at the entrance of Chongsheng Temple. You can eat vegetarian food before leaving. Suggest wearing a mask, as the wind is particularly strong in the mountains. If the weather is nice then this place is very nice to visit highly recommended for the visitors who are in Kunming. Don’t miss Dali beauty. The atmosphere here is calm and the food is delicious. #trip #familytrip #historicallandmarks #familytrip #localguides #travel
