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.

🏡Accommodation Recommendations
We stayed at the Meilihui Hotel (Changbai Mountain Haolike Hotel) and the Swiss Hotel in the resort. Both were quite nice, with spacious and comfortable rooms. We also visited the RV and tent campsite, which we really liked and plan to stay there next time!
🥯About Food
We tried the Italian restaurant at the Swiss Hotel. The first floor of the Italian restaurant features Western à la carte specialties, while the second floor focuses on Chinese cuisine. Zantunzi Pot Fish, Wula Manchu Hot Pot, and Boxing Lamb Craft Beer House all tasted good and are Northeast specialties.
Ulaman Eco Luxury Retreat
My stay at Ulaman Eco Luxury Retreat was a unique experience that combined well-being and sustainability in the heart of nature. This resort is built with eco-friendly designs, and natural materials blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The villa I stayed in was elegant and comfortable, offering charming views of the forest and river. I loved the serene atmosphere that encouraged relaxation and meditation, as well as the yoga sessions and natural therapies at the spa. Enjoying the fresh vegetarian food offered at the restaurant, which enhances the well-being and sustainability experience, was also delightful. This place is perfect for relaxing and changing your daily routine in a quiet and comfortable natural setting.
Visa-free Armenia travel guide
Visa-free Armenia is a hidden gem in the Caucasus!
The capital Yerevan has a unique slow pace, as if time has slowed down. Especially the Yerevan Cascade, which is a must-see!
It was designed by architect Alexander Tamanyan
Located on the central axis of Yerevan
Although it is an "unfinished building" of the former Soviet Union
But that doesn't stop it from being charming
The whole building is in the shape of a waterfall staircase
The layered design is extremely grand and spectacular
It takes about half an hour to climb up from the bottom
The scenery along the way changes with the steps
Each level offers a different view of the city
It's like a deep conversation with the city
Inside the steps is the Cafesjian Museum of Art
After admiring the grandeur of the exterior of the building, walk into the museum
You can immerse yourself in the ocean of art and feel the perfect fusion of art and architecture.
If you don't want to climb the stairs, you can also take the elevator up to the top and enjoy the beautiful view of Yerevan 👀
Not far from the Cascade is Freedom Square
The Yerevan Opera House is also here, and you must go to the opera house to see a ballet! We saw the classic "Swan Lake", the ticket price is very affordable, the performance is very exciting, definitely a feast for the eyes! 👀
There is also Republic Square, which is very lively
Surrounded by concert halls, the Prime Minister's Office, museums, clock towers and other buildings
Classical and modern elements intertwine and collide
The History Museum of Armenia is here
It can take you to appreciate the ancient history and splendid culture of this country, with various ancient shoes, exquisite carpets and unique pottery on display, all of which tell the story of the past.
There are often street performers singing and playing by the fountain at the entrance of the museum
The melodious singing adds a lot of romance to the whole square
The Armenian Genocide Museum is also worth a visit
It carries a heavy history
Commemorating the tragic past of the Armenian massacre by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923, the memorial next to it is solemn and solemn, and the monument is composed of a series of spikes, constantly reminding the world not to forget the pain of history.
The Yerevan Cathedral is also a landmark building, as famous as the Tbilisi Holy Trinity Cathedral, and is one of the most magnificent cathedrals in the Caucasus, with exquisite interior decoration and magnificent exterior design, showing the classic Armenian style.

Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay | A Dream Hotel You'll Want to Visit Again
| A dream hotel you'll want to visit again. Recently, I stayed at the Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay, and the experience was amazing. I just had to share it with you all!
📍 Location & Transportation:
The hotel is in a great location, right near the harbor, making it super convenient to get around. It's not far from the ferry terminal, and a quick taxi ride will get you there in no time. There are also plenty of local food stalls and convenience stores nearby, so if you want to grab a snack or try some local flavors, it's just a short walk away.
🏨 Hotel Environment:
As soon as you step into the hotel, you can feel the upscale atmosphere. The lobby is spacious and bright, with exquisite decor and tasteful arrangements. The lighting is just right, creating a warm and cozy ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly, offering to help with luggage as soon as you arrive. They're also very patient when answering questions during check-in, providing excellent service that instantly puts you in a vacation mood.
🛏 Room Experience:
The rooms are fantastic! They're spacious, with soft, comfortable beds that feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. The cleanliness is impeccable, with everything spotless and dust-free. The bathroom is well-designed, with separate wet and dry areas, and the toiletries are of good quality, leaving your hair feeling silky smooth. The best part is the stunning view from the room's window, overlooking the harbor. During the day, the sunlight sparkles on the water, and at night, the view is mesmerizing. Enjoying such a beautiful view from the comfort of your room is pure bliss.
🍽 Dining Recommendations:
The hotel's restaurant is worth mentioning. The breakfast spread is extensive, with a variety of fresh fruits, bread, hot dishes, cold dishes, and local specialties to cater to different tastes. We also had dinner at the hotel, trying some Indonesian dishes and seafood, and the flavors were truly impressive. The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning was perfect, and the chef's skills were top-notch!
💆♀️ Leisure Facilities:
You must try the hotel's pool! It's large, with clean water, and surrounded by plenty of loungers and umbrellas. After a swim, you can relax on a lounger, soak up the sun, and enjoy a cocktail. The gym is also well-equipped, perfect for fitness enthusiasts like me who want to maintain their workout routine even on vacation.
🌅 Nearby Attractions:
There are plenty of fun places to explore around the hotel. It's close to the beach, where you can take a stroll, play in the sand, sunbathe, or try some water activities like banana boating or snorkeling. There are also local markets nearby, where you can find unique handicrafts and souvenirs, and experience the local culture.
Overall, my stay at the Batam Marriott Hotel Harbour Bay was fantastic, and I was satisfied with every aspect. If you're planning a trip to Batam, I highly recommend considering this hotel. Trust me, you'll fall in love with it!
The first Maldivian resort opened by Chinese people - the cost performance ratio is amazing!
The Maldives Le Yi Resort Kunawasi Island, which opened in May last year, is one of the few islands in the Maldives that can combine snorkeling and sea views. The sapphire lagoon water makes people fall into this dreamy beauty at a glance. The hotel is also surrounded by many famous nurse sharks and dolphin haunts in the Maldives. Dolphins can often be seen on the island.
This island has no seagrass. The selected sand is particularly delicate. The vegetation on the island is still in the growth stage, but it does not affect the privacy of the sand house. This is a resort hotel with a high cost performance ratio. The transportation cost to the island is only 200 US dollars per person. It is precisely because of this that although everything is available, it is definitely not comparable to luxury islands. It is a high-quality choice for pursuing cost performance!
It is worth mentioning that the owner of this resort hotel is Chinese. This is also the first resort hotel opened by Chinese people in the Maldives. The hotel is a brand new hotel brand. My feeling after staying is that the overall is not bad. Worth a stay!
This mountain! It never disappoints! A fairy tale world!
🌍The Alps, the highest mountain range in Western Europe, is like a giant dragon lying on the European continent. It starts from the southeast of France, passes through the north of Italy, the south of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the south of Germany, and ends in Austria and Slovenia. It is about 1,200 kilometers long and 130 to 260 kilometers wide, with an average altitude of 3,000 meters.
🌟Must-visit attractions:
- Mont Blanc: Located at the border of France and Italy, it is 4,810 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak in the Alps and the highest peak in Western Europe. Standing on the top of the mountain, it feels like being above the sea of clouds, with a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. The continuous mountains, blue sky, and white clouds form a beautiful picture.
- Matterhorn: The iconic mountain in Switzerland, the unique triangular pyramid shape makes it one of the most famous mountains in the Alps. The mountain is steep and majestic, shining with charming silver light under the sun.
- Jungfrau: Known as the "Top of Europe", Jungfrau is about 3,454 meters above sea level and has the highest railway station in Europe. Taking the train all the way up, you can enjoy the completely different landscape changes within a mountain, from green grass to white snow, as if experiencing a cycle of four seasons.
- Alpe di Siusi: In the Dolomites region in northeastern Italy, it is the largest alpine meadow in Europe, with a length of more than 30 kilometers from east to west and a width of more than 10 kilometers from north to south. From late June to early August each year, flowers are everywhere, beautiful as a poem or a painting.
🛬Transportation guide:
- International transportation: You can fly to Milan or Munich first, and then take a train to a city near the Alps, such as Bolzano.
- Local transportation: In the Alps, public transportation is relatively developed. You can take trains, cable cars, buses, etc. to various attractions. For example, you can take the famous Jungfrau Railway in Switzerland; in the Dolomites, you can take a cable car to Alpe di Siusi, etc.
🏠Accommodation guide:
- Mountain hotels: Many mountains have hotels. These hotels are in excellent locations and allow you to enjoy the beautiful mountain view when you wake up in the morning. Some hotels also provide hot spring services. After a day of play, soaking in a hot spring can relieve fatigue.
- Town B&Bs: There are many characteristic B&Bs in the towns around the Alps. They are not only relatively affordable, but also allow you to experience the local customs. For example, the B&Bs in Zell am See, Austria, have a beautiful environment and complete surrounding facilities.
💡Other tips:
- Changeable climate: The climate of the Alps is changeable. Even in summer, the temperature on the mountain may be low. It is recommended to bring warm clothing and sunscreen.
- Plan in advance: There are many attractions in the Alps, and they are relatively scattered. It is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance, arrange your time reasonably, so that you can fully appreciate the beauty of each attraction.
- Respect local culture: The Alps region has a rich culture and tradition. During the tour, respect local customs and cultural differences.
In short, the Alps is a worthwhile tourist destination. Whether you like mountaineering, skiing, or enjoying natural scenery, it can meet your needs. Come to the Alps and start an unforgettable journey!

Riga - is a real hidden gem in Eastern Europe
#myhiddengems
I’ll share with you my spots for perfect pictures in Riga, the capital of Latvia. It is definitely worth to visit during summer time to get great weather and don’t spend much money
1. GO BUCK WILD IN OLD TOWN
Out of all the picturesque things to do in Riga, walking around in Old Town takes the cake. Everywhere you turn, there are colorful shop fronts, intricate architecture and tiny streets. It's picture perfect overload, and overwhelment is inevitable. Prepare accordingly.
2. RIDE TO THE TOP OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH
Not gonna lie, this is probably going to be your most expensive pic of the trip.
It costs €9 to ride the elevator to the top of St.
Peter's Church but it's a small price to pay for having the best photo on your friends' feeds and the best view of the city (but who cares about the latter.. am I right?). Circle around the tower for a 360° view of Riga and see everything from the Freedom Tower to the Central Market and of course, Old Town.
PRO TIP: Visit just before the sun goes down for the the best light and hopefully a beautiful sunset backdrop.
3. WALK DOWN ALBERTA IELA
Riga is known to have the finest collection of Art Nouveau buildings in the world. To get the most bang for your buck, head to Albert Street
4. TAKE A STROLL THROUGH
VERMANES GARDEN
I'm not usually the type to seek out parks when I travel but Vermanes Garden was especially beautiful.
You can sit on the dock, walk along tree-lined paths, or even rent a small boat.
5. GET COZY AT ASPARA TEA
HOUSE
Apsara Tea House has the right ingredients for a perfect Instagram picture: 1. tea/coffee
2. floor pillows 3. a chandelier. The tea house also has floor to ceiling windows and is located right on the river which gives you a great backdrop.

This isn't Santorini, Greece. This is Avia Villa Resort on Lombok Island, Indonesia!

Ali & Nino, the most romantic city in the Caucasus, Batumi.
Finally arrived in the visa-free country of the Caucasus, Georgia 🇬🇪
I thought Tbilisi was beautiful
Until I came to Batumi 🌊
I am glad that I did not miss this city by the Black Sea
Famous for the sculpture of Ali & Nino
At sunset, under the Ferris wheel
The two sculptures approach and separate, but never really touch
Full of unpredictable metaphors
I would like to call it the most romantic city in the Caucasus 💕
The inspiration for the Ali & Nino sculpture comes from the novel "Ali and Nino"
Ali is a young Azerbaijani Muslim, and Nino is a Georgian princess who believes in Christianity. The two met in high school and fell in love
But because of different beliefs and wars
In the end, it became a tragedy under the tease of fate
The Ali & Nino statue today is performing a story of approaching and separating every day
With a cycle of 10 minutes and 05 seconds, they meet briefly but can never embrace
This moving sculpture also brings a touch of mysterious romanticism to Batumi
Watching the sculpture slowly moving by the Black Sea at sunset
The setting sun dyed the entire coast golden
The world should be so beautiful 🌅

Exhibition in Germany | A pink Rococo abbey for a relaxing getaway
| A pink Rococo abbey for a relaxing getaway. Influenced by the luxurious taste of Louis XIV, Rococo style was all the rage in 18th-century Europe🌼. The magnificent library of Wiblingen Abbey in Germany is one of the representative works of the time✨.
In the vision of the then abbot, Hamberg, the library in the abbey "should be beautiful and encourage diligence"🎈. The magnificent and delicate cream white and light pink fill this 74.5×36-foot hall. In addition, there are a few books that survived the Napoleonic Wars📚, and a large fresco of a female figure on the ceiling. All of these reflect the exquisite craftsmanship and a new love for study🌟.
📍Address: Kloster Wiblingen, SchloBstraBe 38, 89079 Ulm

World Slow Tour | There is a kind of blue called Maldives blue.
|There is a kind of blue called Maldives blue. 💖Hard Rock Hotel Maldives | The ultimate dream island trip💖
🎈After seeing the Maldives from God's perspective, I am convinced that the Creator is partial. And Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is the brilliant crystallization of this partiality. 😍
📍Excellent location:
It only takes 15 minutes by speedboat from Male Airport to the island, which is fast and convenient. It is connected to SAii Lagoon Maldives by a long bridge. No matter which hotel you prefer, you can come to the leisure business district The Marina and enjoy the entertainment facilities. 🎊
🛏Luxury room type:
The Hard Rock Hotel, which opened in 2019, is in its prime. We chose the FB package and stayed in a water villa with a private pool. We didn't expect the butler to upgrade our room for free. Facing the endless Indian Ocean, that mood is simply indescribable. 🌊
🏊♀️Leisure resort:
The place I like to stay every day is the main swimming pool and the main beach, which is where I stay the most. The swimming pool and the beach switch seamlessly, the clothes are dry and wet, wet and dry, but never tired. 💦
🍽Food paradise:
The Elephant And The Butterfly is the restaurant we linger the most, close to the villa area, rich in variety and excellent in taste. The evening menu is different from the daytime, and we prefer the evening atmosphere. 🥂
Hard Rock Cafe Maldives offers rock live performances at night, and lively buddies must not miss it. 🎶
Sessions is a food-oriented restaurant with local flavors and dishes from all over the world. Among them, I personally think the lamb chops are very nice. 😋
In addition, you can also come to the business district (The Marina) or SAii Lagoon to taste a variety of foods, and it is so capricious to play three islands for a penny. 💃
In short, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives is the best choice for a dream island trip. Come here to experience the ultimate beauty and luxury! 💖

Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this small city listed by National Geographic
Having traveled to many places in Jiangxi, if you ask me to recommend one must-visit destination, I would suggest Shangrao. This small city, recognized by National Geographic, features Huangling, one of China's most beautiful villages, and Sanqing Mountain, a Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, along with many other hidden gems. It's truly worth spending a few days exploring.
📚 Travel Guide:
🚩 4-day, 3-night itinerary (see route in P4‼️)
🔸Day 1: Take a high-speed train to Shangrao Station → Wangxiangu, stay at Wangxiangu
🔸Day 2: Wangxiangu → Sanqing Mountain, stay at Sanqing Mountain
🔸Day 3: Sanqing Mountain → Huangling → Wunvzhou night view, stay in Wuyuan County
🔸Day 4: Hotel → Wuyuan Station, return by high-speed train
⚠️ For a more relaxed trip, consider staying overnight in Huangling as well, as the area is less crowded before 9 AM. After visiting Huangling, head to Wunvzhou for the night view. During the day, you can explore lesser-known ancient villages like Tancun and Sanyan Bridge.
📷 Must-visit Spots
✅ Wangxiangu (P1-P3): An ancient-style town built on cliffs, reminiscent of a fantasy world. It offers a unique atmosphere at dusk.
✅ Sanqing Mountain (P5): A Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, featuring stunning peaks, ancient trees, and misty clouds, showcasing nature's artistry.
✅ Huangling (P6, P7): Recognized as one of China's most beautiful villages by National Geographic, famous for its rapeseed flower fields.
✅ Wunvzhou (P8-P10): A must-see night view in Wuyuan, with magnificent architecture, bright lights, and spectacular fireworks. Don't miss the traditional iron flower performance.
📌 Tips:
❶ Wunvzhou is mainly for night views and not much to see during the day. It's close to the county, so staying there can save on accommodation costs.
❷ The distances between these attractions are not short, and public transport is not very convenient. It's recommended to rent a car and opt for a one-way rental, as the arrival and departure high-speed train stations are different‼️

🇵🇹 Lisbon Old Town One-Day City Walk Itinerary
Lisbon is a city perfect for city walks, despite its undulating slopes that can be quite tiring on the legs. However, this is also a unique feature of the city. As you stroll through the old town, you can see the city's worn charm, which does not detract from its appeal. The city exudes a relaxed atmosphere, and the streets are full of character.
During my day in Lisbon, the weather was unpredictable, with intermittent rain ☔️ and sunshine 🌞. Regardless of the conditions, every snapshot was picturesque. Here are some of the beautiful spots I captured:
Photo 2️⃣3️⃣: Bica Funicular, a hill-climbing tool that offers a stunning view of the sea at its highest point. I recommend taking a taxi directly to the top 📍Livraria Antiquaria do Calhariz to save some legwork‼️
Photo 4️⃣: The first intersection after climbing the Bica Funicular, where you can capture a side view of the funicular.
Photos 5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣: Starting from the Bica Funicular, follow the route of Tram 28 🚃 and walk along the undulating roads. Every shot is beautiful, although it was raining when we walked this stretch, and it would be even more stunning on a sunny day.
Photo 8️⃣: After walking through the narrow alleys, you'll arrive at a large intersection 📍Cc.Estrela Tram Station, where you can also capture the blue jacaranda trees. The sun suddenly came out when we reached this spot, after raining earlier 🌧️.
Photo 9️⃣: Located at 📍Rua de Sao Felix, this area is a quiet residential district with few people and beautiful scenery, including views of the sea.
Photo 10: Lisbon Cathedral, capturing the scene of a tram passing by.
Photos 11·12: Miradouro de Santa Luzia, a free viewpoint where you can gaze at the red rooftops and the sea.
Photo 1️⃣: Taken on the way from Lisbon Cathedral to Miradouro de Santa Luzia, I loved this shot so much that I used it as the cover photo. It's a picture I think could be made into a fridge magnet‼️
Photos 13·14·15: Located at 📍Chafariz das Moiras, this spot is absolutely stunning‼️ There's a beautiful blue jacaranda tree 🌸.
Photos 16·17: São Jorge Castle, in my opinion, is the best viewpoint in Lisbon. It's situated at the highest point, offering a 360-degree panoramic view. Although there's an entrance fee, the view is indeed better than the free viewpoints, with fewer people. It's also a great spot to watch the sunset 🌇. Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal during our visit, with too many clouds and no sunset to see. There were also many peacocks 🦚 inside.
