Trip Moments Recommendations
Step back in time visiting Zhouzhuang Ancient town
Visiting China’s number one water town was definitely a must see on my 3 day trip to Suzhou
Definitely worth the 1.5 hour trip to and from!
It was nice to have some time to take photos before everyone arrived.. my ticket was for 7.30am-12pm and though I was rushing to arrive early, most shops didn't open until around 9am so don't recommend arriving so early unless you'd like to take photos with no people around
🗓️Itinerary Scheduling: I think this could possibly be a better view/experience in the afternoon/night time if you get the chance.. And l'd say half a day there is enough time to view!
🕰️ Business Hours: 7.30am to 8pm Year round
📍 Address: No.43, Quanfu Road, Zhouzhuang Town,
Kunshan City
🚉 Metro line 4 to Tongli Station and 25 minute DiDi ride ($10-15AUD one way)
💸 Average Price P/P : $21AUD (Children and seniors free)
🍛 Food and drink: Plenty of places to eat at and drink in the town including local snacks and drinks and also sit down rest and deserts, I recommend a visit for breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner!

Where Heritage Comes Alive: Yunnan Ethnic Village
#chinatrip
During my visit to Kunming, Yunnan Ethnic Village 云南民族村 was a must-see destination! This beautiful cultural park is the perfect place to discover the rich diversity of Yunnan's ethnic groups.
As I walked through the intricately designed gates, I was greeted by traditional architecture, vibrant colors, and a welcoming atmosphere. The village showcases the unique traditions and lifestyles of Yunnan's 26 ethnic minorities, each with their own distinct culture. From the Bai’s stunning pagodas to the Yi’s lively decorations, every corner was a celebration of heritage and art.
One of my favorite experiences was watching a cultural performance filled with music, dancing, and colorful costumes. It was so lively and fun! I also enjoyed exploring the handicraft stalls, where I found unique souvenirs and tried delicious local snacks.
The surroundings were equally breathtaking, with lush greenery, serene lakes, and beautiful pavilions. It felt like stepping into a storybook with the perfect mix of nature and culture.

Another popular photo spot for Chinese PR. Guaranteed by the number of photographers and models. But since this area is not very large, if you want to take photos without people and don't have to wait in line for a long time, I recommend coming early in the morning.
We went late because there were a lot of people and cars.😅
The popular corners of this spot are the Former Rowing Club swimming pool and the Union Church on the opposite side.
From this point, you can walk to the Rock Bund zone.

Focus on: Ancient Town of Fenghuang
Fenghuang in China was a great stop for 2 days during my trip to Hunan. The town is so pretty, with its old wooden houses along the river. I loved walking through the narrow streets, exploring local shops, and along the embankment- that's where the best views are.
One tip: be prepared for crowds, especially during weekends. I was there during the week and still amount of people was impressive.

Exploring the Beauty of Longji Rice Terraces
Visiting the Longji Rice Terraces was amazing! The views were incredible—green fields stretching across the mountains. It felt like something out of a movie. I went in the summer, and seeing the rice growing everywhere was really cool.
The hike up to the top wasn’t too hard, but it’s steep, so make sure to wear good shoes. The little villages around the terraces were super cute, and it was nice seeing locals working the land in old ways.
A tip: the weather can change fast, so bring a light jacket. Also, go early or late to avoid the crowds and get the best photos. It’s a peaceful place that’s definitely worth the trip!

Grilled Insects experience in ancient village
Dehang Village was a unique experience. Even though it was rainy when I visited, it still felt magical—plus, there were hardly any tourists, so it was peaceful and quiet. The village is surrounded by beautiful mountains and has a really authentic, calm vibe.
One fun thing: I tried my first insect ever here! I'm not a 100% sure but if I understood the old vendor lady correctly- it was a grilled dragonfly's caterpillar. I did not know what to expect honestly but I actually liked it!
I really enjoyed the old traditional architecture in Dehang. The wooden houses and narrow alleys made me feel like I had stepped back in time. It was so nice to see a place that has kept its authentic charm over the years.

Sanbao village was absolutely breathtaking with its autumn backdrop. 🍂

“Monkey”ing around in Zhangjiajie
One of the best elements of a Zhangjiajie trip is the encounters with these mischief makers.
Some tips to keep in mind:
- Don’t feed the monkeys!
A lot of locals will be throwing food at the monkeys, but the moment you do, they’ll start following you and becoming more aggressive. Plus, it’s just a crappy thing to do. These animals can eat grass and they tend to rummage through the trash cans too. They are not lacking in food at all.
- Be mindful of your bags.
I saw some monkeys steal a woman’s tote bag and take the items out. They also got very territorial when she tried to take her stuff back. So when you visit the park, try to keep your items in a zippable bag. Eventually the monkeys got bored and left, but not before stealing some feminine pads from her.
- Keep your distance.
For the most part, these monkeys are used to tourists. However, mama monkeys with their babies, mating pairs, and solitary males can react negatively if you get too close. My friend got a little too close to a monkey who took aim at her with its claws. Thankfully she was unharmed, but the same can’t be said for her jacket.
Just use common sense (i.e. don’t try to touch or feed the animals) and you’ll be just fine.

Sunbird Symbol Unearthed at Jinsha Site Museum
Highlights - Jinsha Site Museum has the sunbird gold sheet artifact, gold mask which is cuter and handsome, and several highly artistic jade ornaments. Large outdoor area with river, trees and flowers suitable for relaxation, locals were seen strolling with their children and babies.
Impressions - While the artifacts in Sanxingdui are surreal and even outrageous thus intriguing, those in Jinsha Site Museum are in my opinion, of elevated artistic values, which can be adopted into the present day culture and lifestyle. That's why the sunbird symbol can be seen in many places in Chengdu and still hold great amount of appeal to the people. The number of artifacts, although very well preserved and intact, are much lesser in numbers than Sanxingdui, so I could take my time strolling by not only the artifacts, but also the idea and hypotheses from the findings. It so happened that I visited the Jinsha Site Museum before Sanxingdui, and I found this to help me understand the content in Sanxingdui much easier than if I hadn't. The museum have less visitors, so I bought the ticket online after arriving.
Getting There - Took line 7 subway to Jinsha Site Museum stop.
Attractions - Historical artifacts unearthed from Jinsha Site. Garden outside the museum.
Language - Chinese language, English.
Recommended duration - 2-3 hrs to half a day.
Enter - I bought my entrance ticket through the trip.com app and enter using my passport.

Jiuzhaigou: Heaven on Earth in Winter
Jiuzhaigou 🇨🇳, a World Heritage Site 🏔️
Located in the national park within the valleys of Sichuan Province, China, Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful it seems unreal, but it truly exists on Earth!
The name “Jiuzhaigou” translates to “Nine Village Valley” because, in the past, there were nine villages along the stream where Tibetan people lived.
Each month offers a different view. The picture shows November, a period between autumn and winter. Some parts have yellow leaves 🍂, while others are already covered in snow ❄️. The weather is quite cold. There are many spots in the park to visit, and each one is stunning. Let the pictures tell the story 🙂
If you're interested in this route, it's recommended to go with a tour for convenience. However, if you prefer to travel on your own, you can use the high-speed train, but you might need to transfer to another vehicle to reach the park.
