Citywalk and Hamgzhou's hidden streets and West Lake
The West Lake is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Hangzhou, it is beautiful but also very crowded, especially on weekends.
I would recommend a visit to the southern east side which is a bit less crowded and surrounded by many wide beautiful parks.
not far from that part of the West Lake, you can find a commercial street named GāoYínJiē with many shops full of souvenirs, local snacks, jewelry, and many other things.
It is a nice place to visit for people visiting the city for the first time, especially for tourists new to China.
if you want to spend more time exploring you should search for the streets branching out of that area, you will find lots of little cute cafes, some of them even serve specialty desserts, special coffee and tea blends, and local beer brands.
a perfect place to spend a relaxing day, walking around and exploring the city.
address in Chinese for the commercial street: 浙江省杭州市上城区高银街

Xuzhou Han Dynasty Terracotta Warriors and Horses
Xuzhou Han Dynasty Terracotta Warriors and Horses - The terracotta warriors and horses excavation site covers 6,000 square meters and includes 4,800 pieces of terracotta warriors and horses interred during the burial of Liu Wu, the third king of the Chu Kingdom during the Western Han dynasty.
The sculptures were found in 1984 in six pits, three infantry pits, one pottery-guard pit, one cavalry pit and one chariot pit. But, only two infantry pits and the pottery-guard pit have been fully excavated. The two infantry pits yielded 2,393 figures but they are smaller in size, about a foot tall, than the life-sized Xi’an terracotta warriors and horses from the Qin dynasty.

Where does The Great wall end?
#naturalbeauty Have you ever wondered where does The Great Wall of China end on the eastern side?
Well, if you follow the wall from end-to-end, it eventually runs into the sea! This site can be seen in a small village in Qinhuangdao city.
An interesting note is I took these photos in spring time just after most of the snow melted. A definite recommendation to visit as most tourist locations along The Great Wall are usually very busy, this little town is magnificent with a lot of cultural history!
A local hotel is very affordable and the people are very friendly and hospitable. The food they cook mouthwatering delicious!
Chairman Mao once said "不去长城 非好汉" (Bù qù chángchéng fēi hǎohàn) - "He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man"

Fun Day at Universal Beijing Resort in China 🇨🇳
Here are some of my tips to ensure you have the best day at Universal Studios Beijing! 🌟
🪄 Wizarding World of Harry Potter ～ this area can get very busy. There are many photo opportunities outside Hogwarts and other shops throughout Hogsmeade. I love seeing everyone buying wands and wearing their wizard outfits! My favourite attraction here is Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
🤖 Transformers Metrobase ～ I love walking around this futuristic city and seeing the transformers! There is a huge high speed rollercoaster, Decepticoaster, that is amazing! It is similar to The Hulk in other Universal Studios parks.
🐼 Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness ～ this land is entirely inside so it’s a great place to go if it’s raining. There are many family friendly rides in here, and don’t miss out on Kung Fu Panda Journey of the Dragon Warrior!
📸 There are so many photo spots around the park. Some of my favourites include the big Universal globe outside the park and Mel’s Drive-In with all of the classic cars outside. There are also many opportunities to meet characters. Download the official Universal Studios Beijing app to check the times and locations of character meet and greets.

Get amused by the beautiful gardens🌸
Do you enjoy walking? If yes, you will love going to Tongli Suzhou Old Town. This old town has a lot of gardens inside. You can pay 100 rmb, and you can enjoy and learn about the history of the town. You can check out the Tuisi Garden, Pearl Tower Garden, Jiayin Hall, Chongben Hall, and Gengle Hall. We found out that this old town is free after 5 p.m.

Upperhills, a mall with a difference
Upperhills Is on of Shenzhen’s newest malls and it’s design really helps it stand out from all the other malls in the city. Located towards the north of downtown it’s been built on a huge plot of land so it’s able to offer a lot more than your standard mall.
Inside you have the usual offerings of fast fashion, mid level brands and accessories - along with a big decathlon store for sporting goods.
The stand out feature of the mall by far is the roof level, there is a sprawling outdoor section that’s full of coffee shops, restaurants and smaller boutique stores. The walls where are all painted different shades or red & orange and the al fresco dining helps you feel like you’re somewhere in Europe. The combination of small stores, colourful decorations and towering skyscrapers make this a very popular spot for photos so it can get very busy
The roof of the mall is also linked by bridge to the Lianhua mountain park - the cities best spot for views. I like to eat dinner in the mall then head to park via the roof to watch the sunset over the city. can’t be missed!
The mall has lots of parking, it’s on many major bus routes and is now linked to the Shenzhen metro via Donggualing metro station.

Qingdao's Coastal Coffee Experience ☕️
#timetotravel
📍 极简主义coffee沙滩音乐节 : Shazikou Residential District Xijiang Gezhuang Community I3-36, Laoshan, Qingdao
🚘 We decided to explore the 极简主义coffee沙滩音乐节, which is located near the Jinxiu seascape theme restaurant. Getting there was a bit of a journey, and we opted for a Didi ride since it was quite far from the subway.
📸 The cafe offers a picturesque view of the sea. However, I found it to be just average in terms of ambiance; it really shines when you capture the right moments through editing in photos.
☕️ 🌊 What truly stood out was the opportunity to face the sea breeze while sipping a cup of coffee, creating a more artistic atmosphere. You could also enjoy some time on the beach, although it wasn't particularly expansive.
😌 Surprisingly, there weren't many people during our visit, which allowed us to have a serene two-hour stay. Afterward, we decided to take a leisurely stroll along the street and stumbled upon several interesting places nearby.
🏕️ We found the Stone Man Sightseeing Garden, a golf club, and camping sites, which piqued our curiosity for future visits.
