Lugu Lake is a 100/100!
Life is short, so it's okay to be confused sometimes. 🥴
Today, I finally checked into the "Confused Nest"!!
I took a half-month vacation during the National Day holiday 🏖️
and flew directly to Lugu Lake 😌
I wanted to see this rare paradise~
Lugu Lake is really beautiful
There are no cars or horses
Only the chirping of hundreds of birds
Hundreds of seagulls fly around my boat 🚢
It's so beautiful~
The Confused Nest is near Lugu Lake
This is also the filming location of "Dear Inn"
The entire season was filmed here
It's so easy to get a celebrity-style room 🫴🏠
Every brick and tile is the ingenuity of the Mosuo people ❤️
The beautiful open garden port is definitely a popular check-in spot
There is also a super long sky corridor...
Standing by the window, you can experience the tranquility of Lugu Lake
In the evening, you can enjoy a health spa
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‼️

♨️ Half Tatami Double Private Hot Spring Courtyard
A classic double private hot spring courtyard, I always like to stay in rooms with tatami mats, because the photos taken on the tatami mats are always great. The room facilities include a XGIMI projector and giant screen, TOTO toilet, and smart home facilities. Just call "Xiaodu" to control the curtains, lights, and other facilities. The private hot spring pools are available indoors and outdoors, and the temperature can be adjusted. After a soak, I feel so relaxed, and then I can lie in bed and watch a movie in the evening. I can't live without a private hot spring in winter, and I have to stay with Yipiao forever.

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.

This hotel in Shanghai is my favorite!
I went to Shanghai a while ago and spent a long time choosing a hotel. I finally decided to stay at the Seagull on the Bund Hotel. As soon as I entered, I could feel the unique atmosphere. It wasn't cold and luxurious, but warm and stylish. I was really surprised. 😆 Here is my experience. If you like it, please like and save it.
😍 Hotel Highlights
1️⃣ Amazing views: If you stay in the Seagull Suite or a room with a king bed on the 11th floor, you can enjoy views of the Bund and Waibaidu Bridge. The view is beautiful at night when the lights are on. It's a great place to enjoy the view. 💕
2️⃣ Thoughtful service: The butler service is considerate. I communicated with them in advance about birthday decorations. They not only upgraded my room, but also provided welcome fruit and cake. The staff were friendly and made me feel happy. 😊
3️⃣ Exquisite decor: The hotel is themed around the sea and flowers, with Lingnan-style decor. The crystal chandeliers and spiral staircases have an "old money" feel. The details are great, and it's a great place to take photos. 📸
🍕 Great food
1️⃣ Afternoon tea: The afternoon tea is on the first floor. It looks and tastes great. The pistachio caramel crisp is delicious. You can take photos on the sofa with your own lighting. You can also take photos with the piano. There aren't many people, and the staff are friendly.
2️⃣ Breakfast: The Chinese and Western food is authentic. The noodles are from Songhelou. You can enjoy the view of the river while eating. 🥰
3️⃣ Jinlin Chinese Restaurant: The Cantonese food is good, and the views of the river are amazing.
‼️ Tips
1️⃣ Room selection: The rooms aren't very spacious. If you have a large budget, I recommend choosing a suite. 💴
2️⃣ Afternoon tea: You can walk in at around 5 pm, but the large sofa is a little dirty, so take photos quickly. 📷 The lighting is better during the day. 🌞
Photo locations: In addition to the room, the afternoon tea sofa, the sofa and screen to the left of the entrance, and the stairs are all great places to take photos.
🌟 Notes: The corridors have a strong fragrance, and the wardrobe smells like new decor. Remember to close the curtains, as the room is quite visible from outside at night. 😲
Overall, the Seagull on the Bund Hotel is really worth staying at. The small flaws don't affect the overall experience. I'll come back for the view. 😉

Visit Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou and take a cable car to a concert.
Fanjing Mountain is a paradise of natural wonders. Take the Sante cable car to the top of the mountain and start your exploration. The cable car slowly ascends, and the scenery outside the window changes constantly, like a vivid nature documentary. Here, you can see a variety of rare plants that thrive in the mountains, creating a green world. The attractions of the Sky City, Red Cloud Golden Summit, Mushroom Stone, Old Golden Summit, and Wanbao Rock are the highlights of this documentary. Each of them shows its unique charm, whether mysterious, peculiar, majestic, or simple, all of which are fascinating. In Fanjing Mountain, it is a dream boat that shuttles between heaven and earth. It is like a silver ribbon, hanging in the mountains, connecting the human world and the fairyland. The cabins are like exquisite pavilions in the air, carrying tourists slowly up, through the veil of clouds and mist, over the treetops, and heading towards the sacred mountain top, allowing people to enjoy the dreamlike beauty of Fanjing Mountain during this leisurely journey.
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!

Egypt Travel | A Trip You Won't Regret
|A trip you won't regret. Why do we yearn for Egypt?
To see the mysterious pyramids, the scenery of the Nile, or the ancient legends passed down for thousands of years?
From the pyramids to the Red Sea, from the pharaoh's tomb to the legendary hotel, every journey in Egypt seems to travel through thousands of years, touching the ancient and great civilization with your own hands.

1️⃣ Giza Pyramids and Sphinx
Standing at the foot of one of the wonders of the world, the pyramids, and witnessing these majestic and shocking ancient buildings, you will feel the greatness and mystery of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Located in Cairo, it houses countless treasures, including Tutankhamun's golden mask. Each exhibit tells the glorious history of ancient Egypt.

Many pharaohs rest here. Walking into this tomb complex is like entering a time tunnel, exploring secrets sealed for thousands of years.

Egypt has many ancient temples, most of which are large in scale and well-preserved. The magnificent buildings and huge stone pillars of these two temples will let you truly appreciate the splendor and exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian architecture.

5️⃣ Dendera Temple
A niche but charming site. The well-preserved murals are colorful and vivid, depicting the ancient Egyptians' understanding and worship of astronomy and the universe.
·

Overlooking the city from the Saladin Citadel in Cairo, or strolling through the Islamic Old City, visiting the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, and experiencing the local life and Arabian style.

A poetic getaway in Hangzhou, a tranquil time at Xiang Lake.
My destination this time is Hangzhou, and I am at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Walking to the window, I can see the green Xiang Lake. I chose to come to Hangzhou to experience this unique tranquility and comfort.
I chose to stay at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Here, it is away from the dust but not the city, hidden from the world but not far from the world. Xiang Lake Freedom Manor is located in Xiang Lake National Tourism Resort, and its unique geographical location and architectural style attracted me.
During the day, you can choose to take a boat tour of Xiang Lake. The boat is on the water, and the surrounding mountains and rivers seem to become agile. Whenever the boat passes a small island or a stone bridge, I feel a poetic picture. When the setting sun is on the lake, the golden light makes Xiang Lake more charming.
After nightfall, I chose to stroll by Xiang Lake. Watching a live performance "Xiang Lake Ya Yun" in Xiang Lake opened up another side of this landscape for me. In this quiet night, listening to the sound of water, the sound of wind, and the sound of opera, it is intoxicating. I felt this unique charm and poetry of Xiang Lake.
The accommodation experience of Xiang Lake Freedom Manor also impressed me. The hotel's design integrates natural and modern elements, both ancient charm and fashionable atmosphere. The hotel's facilities are complete, whether it is an indoor swimming pool or a children's playground, gym, etc., it makes people feel the warmth and comfort of home. And the photos taken by the outdoor swimming pool at night are even more refreshing.
During these three days and two nights of vacation in Hangzhou, I felt an unprecedented relaxation and comfort at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. There is not only beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation experience, but also a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature. I believe that this wonderful time will become one of my unforgettable memories in my life.

MellifluousEphemeralZephyr Alexandria is not worth it
Egypt's second largest city
If you are traveling from Cairo for six hours, I really don't recommend it
We were on our way back from Siwa/Marsa Matruh and stopped by for a day trip

There are basically no monuments to see
The monuments that can be seen are mediocre compared to the attractions on the southern line

The restaurant is quite famous and has a stable number of customers. I have been there since the restaurant first opened, but I just posted this post now 🥹 and my previous experience was better than the present.
The space is extremely spacious, with two floors and a large garden, the ceiling is high so it always feels airy and not stuffy, it is invested quite carefully so you can take pictures from almost any corner, the yellow lights are soft, the space is quiet so it feels quite relaxing.
The menu is a minus point because it only has simple drinks with normal taste, not very special, you should review this part, the price is also quite high compared to the general level here, but in return, the investment in the look is very careful, focusing on the decor so it feels worth it, in addition to drinks, there are also cakes, prices from about 45 to 75k.
The restaurant is now open 24/7 so you can come anytime, the restaurant is spacious, has many tables and is almost always crowded and the dishes are served quite slowly. Parking in front of the restaurant.

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.

Enjoying such a beautiful view from the comfort of your room is pure bliss.

The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning was perfect, and the chef's skills were top-notch!

Mauritius is a must-visit! Not every island is visa-free.
Africa is not just about the savannah. It is also home to the "original paradise" described by Mark Twain, Mauritius, the pearl of the Indian Ocean.
This is one of the most popular island resorts for Westerners. It is no exaggeration to say that it is comparable to Hawaii. On this subtropical island, you can not only enjoy the unique beauty of the underwater waterfall in Mauritius, but also follow the dolphins and enjoy a romantic vacation with blue waters and white sand beaches.
In addition, Mauritius is visa-free for Chinese citizens. You can travel smoothly with just a passport and no complicated procedures. The price is not expensive compared to other high-end islands. You can enjoy a high-end island at a mid-range price, which is very cost-effective!
7 days and 5 nights in Mauritius:
DAY 1 Arrival, private transfer, check in, free time
DAY 2 Catamaran dolphin watching, BBQ at sea
DAY 3 Helicopter tour of the underwater waterfall + lunch at a mountain restaurant + walk with lions
DAY 4 Free time, book free water activities at the hotel (kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc., subject to hotel arrangements)
DAY 5 Visit Île aux Cerfs, comparable to Tahiti
DAY 6 Northern cultural tour, visit Port Louis, Royal Botanic Gardens, Red Roof Church, Caudan Waterfront, and the filming location of the movie "Breakup Buddies", transfer to the airport after the tour
DAY 7 Return home
Beijing Metro Line 3 Finally Opens After Half a Century
On December 15, 2024, Beijing Metro Line 3 finally opened after 60 years of waiting 🎉
I had seen the reserved mysterious platform at Dongsi Shitiao 🚉
The metro line was first proposed in the 1970s
After 60 years, it finally returned to the Beijing metro network family~
Beijing Metro Line 3, like Lines 1 and 2, is one of the earliest planned lines in Beijing
In 1956, five Soviet experts came to Beijing and guided the drawing of the earliest Beijing metro plan
When Dongsi Shitiao Station on Line 2 was built in 1971, the platform and concourse of Line 3 were reserved under the concourse
Completed in 1984, it was rated as one of the top ten buildings in Beijing in the 1980s, and the only underground building among them
I remember last time I went to Chengde, I had to take a taxi to Chaoyang Station 🚕
Now the metro is seamlessly connected to 🚄 Chaoyang Railway Station, which is very convenient 🎉
If you like taking photos, you must visit Chaoyang Station
The newly opened west square and concourse of Beijing Chaoyang Station are a bit like Daxing Airport ✈️
The Chaoyang Comprehensive Hub Transfer Station is composed of a single-layer steel box girder reticulated shell structure, which is very spectacular 😮
There are also signs of meeting points on the pillars of Chaoyang Station on Line 3
It's so convenient to meet up with friends, such a thoughtful design ♥️
This isn't Santorini, Greece. This is Avia Villa Resort on Lombok Island, Indonesia!
When people talk about tourist destinations in Indonesia, Bali is often the first choice. However, just east of Bali, Lombok Island lies quietly in the Indian Ocean. It has equally charming beaches, but without the hustle and bustle of Bali. Lombok Island is a hidden gem, adjacent to the bustling Bali, but with a completely different charm. It boasts breathtaking natural scenery, rich cultural heritage, and enchanting hidden beaches.
Lombok Island is located in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. It is Bali's neighbor, but with a completely different style. The beaches here are more pristine and tranquil than those in Bali, and the Sasak culture on the island showcases Indonesia's unique ethnic style. When you come to Lombok Island, you will feel a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. The natural beauty and local culture here blend perfectly, creating an irresistible charm.
Lombok Island also has a treasure hotel, the Royal Avila Boutique Resort, built on the cliff slopes of the west coast of Lombok Island. The blue and white buildings and overall style are very similar to Santorini, Greece. No wonder locals call it that! The hotel not only has similar colors, but also a Santorini-style spa and beach club. Especially after a spa treatment, swimming in the exclusive pool of the spa center will make you feel like you're in the Aegean Sea!
