Hidden behind historic walls and winding pathways, Westgate Garden feels like stepping into a quieter version of England — one filled with riverside flowers, ancient stone ruins, and the peaceful sound of water flowing past. Located beside Canterbury’s medieval city walls, this charming public garden is the perfect place to slow down after exploring the busy streets nearby. I loved wandering through the flower-lined paths, watching boats drift along the River Stour, and finding little corners where time seemed to stand still. In spring and summer, the garden bursts into color, while autumn gives the whole place a soft golden glow. 🍂✨ What makes Westgate Garden special isn’t just the scenery — it’s the atmosphere. One moment you’re surrounded by centuries of history, and the next you’re sitting quietly by the river listening to birds and church bells in the distance. It feels romantic, peaceful, and wonderfully English all at once. If you visit Canterbury, don’t rush past this hidden gem. Spend an hour here with a coffee, a camera, or simply no plans at all — and let the city slow down around you. 🇬🇧🌸

🇬🇧 One of London’s Most Underrated Spots If someone had shown me these photos without any context, I would’ve guessed they were taken somewhere along the Italian coast or in the south of France. But no… This hidden gem is tucked away in Little Venice, right in the heart of London. Surrounded by colourful narrowboats, blooming flowers and peaceful canals, The Summerhouse feels like stepping into a completely different world. It’s hard to believe you’re only minutes away from the busy streets of central London. 📍 Where to Find It 🍽️ The Summerhouse 📍 60 Blomfield Road, Little Venice, London W9 2PA 🚇 Nearest Underground Station: Warwick Avenue (Bakerloo Line) Only a 3-minute walk from the station. Alternatively, you can enjoy a beautiful 15-20 minute walk from Paddington Station along Regent’s Canal before arriving. The walk itself is part of the experience. 🌸 Why It’s Worth Visiting The Summerhouse sits right on the edge of the canal, with waterside tables, colourful flowers and charming narrowboats drifting quietly past. On a sunny day, it barely feels like London. Whether you’re visiting for lunch, a romantic date or simply a relaxing afternoon, the atmosphere is what makes this place so special. Sometimes the best places aren’t the famous landmarks. They’re the ones you discover by accident. 🍽️ What to Expect The Summerhouse is well known for its fresh seafood, although there are plenty of options for everyone. The food is beautifully presented, the service is friendly, and every table overlooking the canal offers a view that’s hard to forget. 💡 Travel Tip If the weather is good, request a table by the water. The combination of sunshine, flowers, boats and peaceful canal views makes this one of the most relaxing dining experiences you’ll find in London. Book in advance, especially on weekends. ❤️ What I Loved 🌸 One of London’s most underrated spots. 🚤 Beautiful canal-side setting in Little Venice. ☀️ Even more magical on a sunny day. 🍽️ Excellent seafood and relaxed atmosphere. 🚇 Easy to reach from central London. 📸 A hidden gem that’s incredibly photogenic. ⭐ Final Thoughts London is full of famous attractions, but sometimes it’s the underrated spots that leave the biggest impression. Last Sunday, The Summerhouse reminded me that you don’t always need to leave the city to feel like you’re on holiday. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, beautiful and a little different, this is a place you’ll want to keep coming back to.

After heading north from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, the scenery suddenly becomes desolate. When the A82 road passes through Glencoe Gorge, the mountains on both sides are steep. In April, lingering snow clings to the shaded slopes. This area is a filming location for 007 and Harry Potter. Following closely is the Loch Ness cruise. The lake is nearly 300 meters deep and remains unfrozen year-round. The lake itself is already impressive enough.

Last weekend, I met up with some friends in Oxford for Hangzhou cuisine. The restaurant was opened by a team from Xixi in Hangzhou, and the food was incredibly authentic. From the sauce dishes and tableware to the wooden tables and chairs outside, everything felt just like being back in China. The stir-fried noodles with pork kidney (Yaohua Banchuan) were absolutely amazing. The rich, fragrant sauce was packed with flavour, and you could see the chef preparing everything fresh before bringing the noodles out and pouring the topping over them. It was seriously delicious. After a satisfying meal, we drove to Bicester Village. It was just in time for the summer sale, with plenty of extra discounts. Loewe, Celine, and Max Mara were all great for shopping, and I also enjoyed browsing Bamford, a lovely organic lifestyle brand. Before heading home, we wandered around Oxford for a bit. During the summer time, England really does have its own charm. #summertime

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing with friends about the joyful family time we had last year in Amalfi, Italy. Unexpectedly, this weekend, taking advantage of the good weather, I brought my child to Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and successfully relived that "Italian-style" romance and comfort! The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village away from the hustle and bustle, with a superior location. It takes only about an hour by car from Xiamen or Quanzhou, making transportation convenient and very suitable for a short family vacation with kids. Upon arriving at the hotel, the sea breeze gently brushed my cheeks. Sitting quietly by the sea with my child, watching the waves repeatedly crash against the shore and listening to the sound of the sea instantly relaxed both body and mind. The golden sand beneath our feet was soft and crisp, feeling especially comfortable as if giving a natural foot massage. The child excitedly ran and played on the beach, releasing energy to the fullest. The most surprising thing was the excellent view from the hotel rooms. Opening my eyes from the bed, I could see the vast and boundless sea and sky merging into one. The deep blue sea connected with the sky, creating a stunning view. Every time the child woke up, they were amazed by the scene and filled with joy. Even more unexpectedly, a friend specially prepared a parent-child kayaking activity 🚣‍♀️! Taking the child to try boating at sea for the first time, under the guidance of a professional coach, gradually mastering paddling skills. Watching the child’s serious expression while paddling and the happy smile after successfully handling the kayak made this unique parent-child experience especially precious. 💡 Highlights of the family experience: · Beach play: Play with your child on the hotel’s surrounding beach, build sandcastles, collect shells, and enjoy a leisurely family beach time. · Seaside sightseeing: In the early morning or evening, take your child to watch the sunrise or sunset by the sea and feel the magnificent natural scenery. · Kayaking experience: Under professional guidance, let your child experience kayaking, training courage and coordination, and enhancing parent-child interaction. · Fishing village exploration: Take your child into the nearby small fishing villages to experience the simple charm of the fishing village and learn about the daily life of fishermen. 🏨 Accommodation experience: The hotel rooms are designed simply yet stylishly, incorporating marine elements, warm and comfortable, allowing family guests to have a good rest. Some rooms have balconies where you can see the sea just by opening the window, letting children feel the charm of the ocean anytime. Staying with kids at Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, spending a weekend by the sea full of "Italian-style" charm, gaining abundant family happiness and memories, is definitely a highly recommended short family vacation!

On my trip to the UK’s Lake District, I found the most worthwhile stay of my life! This century-old house nestled halfway up the mountain is truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness😭 Open the window in the early morning, and the entire Lake Windermere quietly spreads out beneath your feet, with layers of green mountains and crystal-clear blue water. The evening breeze gently blows through the mountains, and the air is filled with the fresh sweetness of damp moss and wild roses. It’s exactly the kind of British countryside healing feeling you read about in poetry🌿 ✨Real Stay Rating Reference Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A perfect score without hesitation!)

Service & Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Gentle and attentive, with a fully immersive atmosphere) 📍Location|A Quiet Secret Halfway Up the Mountain The hotel is located on the most classic lakeside highland of Lake Windermere, and the location is truly unbeatable! It’s super close to the busiest town main street and lakeside trail, making it very convenient for outings, dining, and buying souvenirs. But the entire old house is independently tucked away on a private half-mountain estate, almost isolated from the world. Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, the whole forest is extremely quiet, with only crisp bird songs, rustling leaves, and the gentle sound of the lake by your ears—perfectly unlocking the English countryside secluded life! 🛏️Rooms|Gentle and Healing Lake View Residences I absolutely love the hotel’s decor style! It preserves the classic vintage architectural framework of the century-old house, paired with minimalist and gentle modern furnishings—a sophisticated and comfortable blend of old and new. The overall creamy white and gray-green low-saturation color scheme is gentle and healing, perfectly matching my aesthetic. The mattress on the large bed is thick and soft; lying down feels like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away travel fatigue. I sincerely recommend booking a lake view room! The extra-large floor-to-ceiling window is a natural picture frame; pull back the curtains to take in the layers of green forest and the clear waters of Lake Windermere, a view full of healing natural greenery. Some room types come with an outdoor bathtub; soaking in warm water at dusk while quietly watching the distant mountain skyline shift from green to gentle pink-orange, with the mountain breeze brushing your face, all worries are healed, and your soul is fully recharged✨ 🌳Public Areas|14 Acres of Private Forest Estate Who can resist an English estate with thousands of acres of forest!

Winding gravel paths weave through the greenery, with artistic sculptures and niche floral landscapes around every corner—every step a surprise, every snapshot a British countryside masterpiece. There’s a private niche lake where you can leisurely row a small wooden boat and immerse yourself in the gentle mountain and water scenery of the Lake District. The large, flat English lawn is perfect for spreading out a picnic blanket for an authentic English picnic with full atmosphere, instantly elevating your vacation ritual. My favorite is the glass greenhouse bar! The transparent glass building is filled with natural light; sitting there in the backlight, daydreaming, sipping drinks, and watching the mountains and lake, the relaxation vibe is off the charts—you could spend the whole afternoon without getting bored~ 🤍Service|Gentle and Thoughtful Customized Experience The hotel’s service is low-key yet attentive, never overly enthusiastic. Staff will help you plan a free one-day Lake District itinerary based on your schedule. They’ll arrange popular lakeside trails, vintage trains, lake cruises, and niche valley check-in spots in a reasonable order, so you don’t have to do the research yourself—a blessing for the lazy!

#hellohalloween From across the Thames, the London Eye rises like a slow-spinning halo above the city — elegant, enormous, and quietly commanding. Each rotation takes over 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline: bridges, spires, glass towers, and the pulse of the city below. Each capsule fits up to 25 people, floating like bubbles in a giant wheel of wonder. For many, it’s a bucket-list experience. For me, it was a moment of admiration from afar — a bit too pricey for my budget, but no less magical. I stood by the river, camera in hand, capturing its silhouette against the sky. Sometimes, seeing from a distance is its own kind of intimacy.

If there's one thing London does brilliantly, it's bakeries. Whether you're after flaky pastries or the perfect coffee stop, these are the ones I'd genuinely recommend. 🥐 Fortitude Bakehouse - One of London's most-loved bakeries. Get there early because the pastries sell out fast. The cinnamon bun and filled doughnuts are always worth the queue. 🍰 Miel Bakery - A cosy little French bakery serving buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, and some of the best madeleines I've had in London. 🥖 Jolene - Famous for naturally fermented bread and seasonal pastries. Simple, fresh, and consistently excellent. 🥐 Pophams Bakery - Their laminated pastries are unreal, especially the bacon and maple swirl if you fancy something savoury. 🍓 Arôme Bakery - A French-Asian bakery known for creative pastries, matcha bakes, and incredible fruit danishes. My advice? Go early, grab a coffee, and try a few things to share. London's best bakeries are popular for a reason, and once you've had your first bite, you'll understand why. ☕🥐

This exceptionally unique hotel took my wife and me completely by surprise. The first thing that grabs your attention is undoubtedly the stunning design and architecture of the Yacht Hotel. However, the real highlight becomes evident as soon as you check in—the staff are some of the nicest and most friendly people I’ve encountered in a very long time. The exceptional restaurant is incredibly accommodating, and the lovely views over the water add to the experience. The Sun Deck Bar is outstanding, with really good prices to match. We absolutely loved our room, which gave the sensation of being on a very exclusive cruise. We’ll definitely be back and are excited about the rumored changes that might be coming to the Sunborn.

Finally, at the Greenwich Observatory, I found the Prime Meridian, standing with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere, very memorable DAY 4|Museums & Theatre British Museum → National Gallery → Phantom of the Opera in the evening. How can you come to the UK without seeing a show? Highly recommended DAY 5|Museums & Shopping to Finish Natural History Museum → V&A → Westminster Abbey → Shopping at Harrods / Selfridges 🛍️.

Brewing a cup of rich Dahongpao tea with your children, you can feel the blend of tea fragrance and autumn atmosphere, starting a leisurely day. The distinctive bamboo raft afternoon tea is an excellent choice for parent-child interaction. Drifting on a bamboo raft over the calm water, admiring the autumn-colored forests on both banks, with a gentle breeze and peaceful time, creates warm family memories. In the evening, take a stroll along Chongyang Creek. The autumn evening breeze is gentle and comfortable, the creek flows softly, children pick up pebbles by the water, enjoying the fun of nature, while adults appreciate the mountain and water scenery under the sunset glow, washing away fatigue. Even without visiting scenic spots, staying at the hotel for two days allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of Wuyi Mountain, letting family time slow down. During the off-season, the hotel offers excellent value for money. The garden is very quiet, and except for breakfast time, you hardly see other guests. Wandering with your children, you can enjoy this tranquility and beauty exclusively. The hotel’s electric cart service is efficient and thoughtful, arriving within two minutes after ringing the bell, so traveling with children is hassle-free. The drivers are warm and attentive, patiently introducing the hotel’s architectural history and Wuyi Mountain travel tips to the children, helping the whole family quickly integrate into the environment and gain a lot. The hotel’s leisure facilities are comprehensive. The lakeside spa allows adults to relax body and mind, the gym meets exercise needs, and the pool is a joyful place for children. The autumn water temperature is suitable, letting children play freely in the pool and enjoy happy times. The hotel lobby offers free Song Dynasty costume rentals. Wearing exquisite Song-style clothes with your children, you can take photos and check in at the courtyard, experiencing the charm of Song culture and capturing unique family moments. Each room includes three complimentary travel photo services. Professional photography captures warm interactions between parents and children. However, if you want some quiet time alone, brewing tea in the room and quietly enjoying the autumn mountain view is also a rare pleasure. The breakfast variety is rich and delicious, featuring all kinds of Wuyi specialties with balanced nutrition to satisfy the whole family’s tastes. The sweet, soft, and juicy guava is especially loved by children. Many guests get up early to taste this delicacy, making it a major highlight of the hotel. A minor drawback is that the bedroom space in the Shanjing room type is relatively small, contrasting with the spacious bathroom, making the space allocation somewhat unreasonable, but it does not affect the overall living experience. In summary, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is a treasure choice for family trips to Wuyi Mountain. Whether it’s the Song-style aesthetic atmosphere, high-quality service, or rich family facilities, it allows the whole family to spend an unforgettable autumn vacation. Highly recommended!

During this trip to Xingyi, Guizhou, I specifically chose to stay at Fengxi Cave Homestay to experience a luxurious getaway that blends seamlessly with nature. Known as the 'paradise under the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest,' Xingyi, combined with the unique cave design of this homestay, is irresistibly appealing—perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and completely relax. The hotel is located in Group 2, Changchong Village, Zherong Town, hidden within a natural cave atop a mountain. Opening the door reveals breathtaking views of Wanfeng Lake and the layered mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment is in the early morning when swallows return to their nests outside the window, filling the valley with vitality. It feels deeply connected to nature, and even breathing feels fresher. The air here is excellent, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and birds, making it ideal for travelers wanting to shed their burdens and forget urban stress. The rooms are designed with high-end comfort in mind, with some featuring smart home systems. The interiors are clean and elegant, with thoughtful attention to detail. Upon check-in, the hotel staff proactively assist with luggage and provide attentive service, quickly responding to any needs. Their complimentary afternoon tea and exquisite breakfast are particularly recommended. The restaurant uses local ingredients, and every meal is satisfying and heartfelt. The hotel's surroundings are very tranquil, creating a relaxed atmosphere suitable for couples, families, or solo travelers. There are many nearby attractions worth visiting. Besides Wanfeng Lake, I recommend exploring the hiking trails of Wanfeng Forest, which offer stunning scenery along the way and small villages to leisurely stroll through. If you're driving, transportation is more convenient as the homestay provides parking. For public transport, you can first reach Xingyi City, then hire a car or take a minibus to the homestay. Travel Tips: It's recommended to check in early to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the lake view in the restaurant, immersing yourself in the most leisurely vacation vibe. In the morning, don't miss watching the swallows return to their nests—it's undoubtedly the most enchanting moment of the day. Booking Tips: These types of cave homestays are limited in number and tend to be fully booked during peak seasons or holidays. It's advisable to book at least two weeks in advance. Choose your room type based on whether you prefer smart home features or lake-view windows. For those who love taking photos, opt for a room with panoramic windows. City Travel Notes: Xingyi has significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so bring a jacket. The mountainous area has many mosquitoes, so remember to bring insect repellent. Xingyi is ideal for slow travel, so consider staying longer at the homestay to fully enjoy the luxurious and natural vacation experience.

After heading north from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, the scenery suddenly becomes desolate. When the A82 road passes through Glencoe Gorge, the mountains on both sides are steep. In April, lingering snow clings to the shaded slopes. This area is a filming location for 007 and Harry Potter. Following closely is the Loch Ness cruise. The lake is nearly 300 meters deep and remains unfrozen year-round. The lake itself is already impressive enough.

Last weekend, I met up with some friends in Oxford for Hangzhou cuisine. The restaurant was opened by a team from Xixi in Hangzhou, and the food was incredibly authentic. From the sauce dishes and tableware to the wooden tables and chairs outside, everything felt just like being back in China. The stir-fried noodles with pork kidney (Yaohua Banchuan) were absolutely amazing. The rich, fragrant sauce was packed with flavour, and you could see the chef preparing everything fresh before bringing the noodles out and pouring the topping over them. It was seriously delicious. After a satisfying meal, we drove to Bicester Village. It was just in time for the summer sale, with plenty of extra discounts. Loewe, Celine, and Max Mara were all great for shopping, and I also enjoyed browsing Bamford, a lovely organic lifestyle brand. Before heading home, we wandered around Oxford for a bit. During the summer time, England really does have its own charm. #summertime

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing with friends about the joyful family time we had last year in Amalfi, Italy. Unexpectedly, this weekend, taking advantage of the good weather, I brought my child to Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and successfully relived that "Italian-style" romance and comfort! The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village away from the hustle and bustle, with a superior location. It takes only about an hour by car from Xiamen or Quanzhou, making transportation convenient and very suitable for a short family vacation with kids. Upon arriving at the hotel, the sea breeze gently brushed my cheeks. Sitting quietly by the sea with my child, watching the waves repeatedly crash against the shore and listening to the sound of the sea instantly relaxed both body and mind. The golden sand beneath our feet was soft and crisp, feeling especially comfortable as if giving a natural foot massage. The child excitedly ran and played on the beach, releasing energy to the fullest. The most surprising thing was the excellent view from the hotel rooms. Opening my eyes from the bed, I could see the vast and boundless sea and sky merging into one. The deep blue sea connected with the sky, creating a stunning view. Every time the child woke up, they were amazed by the scene and filled with joy. Even more unexpectedly, a friend specially prepared a parent-child kayaking activity 🚣‍♀️! Taking the child to try boating at sea for the first time, under the guidance of a professional coach, gradually mastering paddling skills. Watching the child’s serious expression while paddling and the happy smile after successfully handling the kayak made this unique parent-child experience especially precious. 💡 Highlights of the family experience: · Beach play: Play with your child on the hotel’s surrounding beach, build sandcastles, collect shells, and enjoy a leisurely family beach time. · Seaside sightseeing: In the early morning or evening, take your child to watch the sunrise or sunset by the sea and feel the magnificent natural scenery. · Kayaking experience: Under professional guidance, let your child experience kayaking, training courage and coordination, and enhancing parent-child interaction. · Fishing village exploration: Take your child into the nearby small fishing villages to experience the simple charm of the fishing village and learn about the daily life of fishermen. 🏨 Accommodation experience: The hotel rooms are designed simply yet stylishly, incorporating marine elements, warm and comfortable, allowing family guests to have a good rest. Some rooms have balconies where you can see the sea just by opening the window, letting children feel the charm of the ocean anytime. Staying with kids at Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, spending a weekend by the sea full of "Italian-style" charm, gaining abundant family happiness and memories, is definitely a highly recommended short family vacation!

On my trip to the UK’s Lake District, I found the most worthwhile stay of my life! This century-old house nestled halfway up the mountain is truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness😭 Open the window in the early morning, and the entire Lake Windermere quietly spreads out beneath your feet, with layers of green mountains and crystal-clear blue water. The evening breeze gently blows through the mountains, and the air is filled with the fresh sweetness of damp moss and wild roses. It’s exactly the kind of British countryside healing feeling you read about in poetry🌿 ✨Real Stay Rating Reference Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A perfect score without hesitation!) Cleanliness & Facilities: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (The old house retains a vintage charm, with clean and exquisite facilities) Environment & Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (The ultimate Lake District view!) Service & Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Gentle and attentive, with a fully immersive atmosphere) 📍Location|A Quiet Secret Halfway Up the Mountain The hotel is located on the most classic lakeside highland of Lake Windermere, and the location is truly unbeatable! It’s super close to the busiest town main street and lakeside trail, making it very convenient for outings, dining, and buying souvenirs. But the entire old house is independently tucked away on a private half-mountain estate, almost isolated from the world. Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, the whole forest is extremely quiet, with only crisp bird songs, rustling leaves, and the gentle sound of the lake by your ears—perfectly unlocking the English countryside secluded life! 🛏️Rooms|Gentle and Healing Lake View Residences I absolutely love the hotel’s decor style! It preserves the classic vintage architectural framework of the century-old house, paired with minimalist and gentle modern furnishings—a sophisticated and comfortable blend of old and new. The overall creamy white and gray-green low-saturation color scheme is gentle and healing, perfectly matching my aesthetic. The mattress on the large bed is thick and soft; lying down feels like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away travel fatigue. I sincerely recommend booking a lake view room! The extra-large floor-to-ceiling window is a natural picture frame; pull back the curtains to take in the layers of green forest and the clear waters of Lake Windermere, a view full of healing natural greenery. Some room types come with an outdoor bathtub; soaking in warm water at dusk while quietly watching the distant mountain skyline shift from green to gentle pink-orange, with the mountain breeze brushing your face, all worries are healed, and your soul is fully recharged✨ 🌳Public Areas|14 Acres of Private Forest Estate Who can resist an English estate with thousands of acres of forest!

#hellohalloween From across the Thames, the London Eye rises like a slow-spinning halo above the city — elegant, enormous, and quietly commanding. Each rotation takes over 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline: bridges, spires, glass towers, and the pulse of the city below. Each capsule fits up to 25 people, floating like bubbles in a giant wheel of wonder. For many, it’s a bucket-list experience. For me, it was a moment of admiration from afar — a bit too pricey for my budget, but no less magical. I stood by the river, camera in hand, capturing its silhouette against the sky. Sometimes, seeing from a distance is its own kind of intimacy.

If there's one thing London does brilliantly, it's bakeries. Whether you're after flaky pastries or the perfect coffee stop, these are the ones I'd genuinely recommend. 🥐 Fortitude Bakehouse - One of London's most-loved bakeries. Get there early because the pastries sell out fast. The cinnamon bun and filled doughnuts are always worth the queue. 🍰 Miel Bakery - A cosy little French bakery serving buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, and some of the best madeleines I've had in London. 🥖 Jolene - Famous for naturally fermented bread and seasonal pastries. Simple, fresh, and consistently excellent. 🥐 Pophams Bakery - Their laminated pastries are unreal, especially the bacon and maple swirl if you fancy something savoury. 🍓 Arôme Bakery - A French-Asian bakery known for creative pastries, matcha bakes, and incredible fruit danishes. My advice? Go early, grab a coffee, and try a few things to share. London's best bakeries are popular for a reason, and once you've had your first bite, you'll understand why. ☕🥐

This exceptionally unique hotel took my wife and me completely by surprise. The first thing that grabs your attention is undoubtedly the stunning design and architecture of the Yacht Hotel. However, the real highlight becomes evident as soon as you check in—the staff are some of the nicest and most friendly people I’ve encountered in a very long time. The exceptional restaurant is incredibly accommodating, and the lovely views over the water add to the experience. The Sun Deck Bar is outstanding, with really good prices to match. We absolutely loved our room, which gave the sensation of being on a very exclusive cruise. We’ll definitely be back and are excited about the rumored changes that might be coming to the Sunborn.

Thanks to its excellent location and high-quality service, it ranks as the top scenic hotel in Guilin, offering a perfect stay experience. The hotel is located by the lake with a unique geographical advantage, just a 2-minute walk to the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The mountain and lake view room we booked offers an excellent view. Opening the window, the autumn lake and mountain scenery perfectly frame the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The sky is clear, the lake is blue, and the leaves are turning golden, creating a picturesque scene. At 7 p.m., the Sun and Moon Twin Towers light up, shining brilliantly against the autumn night sky. Watching this stunning view with the kids by the window is especially romantic. Nearby attractions are convenient to visit. A 10-minute walk takes you to Xiangshan Scenic Area, where you can take a boat ride on the Lijiang River, enjoying the autumn landscape along both banks.

In autumn, Wuyi Mountain boasts clear skies and crisp air, with forests dyed in layers of color, adding charm to the mountain and water scenery. Bringing your children here for a vacation, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice. As the top hotel in the hearts of tour guides, its unique Song Dynasty aesthetics, high-quality service, and excellent environment bring full surprises and comfort to family trips. The hotel centers on Song Dynasty architectural aesthetics, with an overall elegant and rustic style. The autumn garden is especially beautiful, with golden leaves complementing the antique buildings, creating a picturesque scene as if stepping into a Song Dynasty painting. In the early morning, opening the balcony door reveals the mist-shrouded Dawang Peak faintly visible in the autumn morning light. Brewing a cup of rich Dahongpao tea with your children, you can feel the blend of tea fragrance and autumn atmosphere, starting a leisurely day. The distinctive bamboo raft afternoon tea is an excellent choice for parent-child interaction. Drifting on a bamboo raft over the calm water, admiring the autumn-colored forests on both banks, with a gentle breeze and peaceful time, creates warm family memories. In the evening, take a stroll along Chongyang Creek. The autumn evening breeze is gentle and comfortable, the creek flows softly, children pick up pebbles by the water, enjoying the fun of nature, while adults appreciate the mountain and water scenery under the sunset glow, washing away fatigue. Even without visiting scenic spots, staying at the hotel for two days allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of Wuyi Mountain, letting family time slow down. During the off-season, the hotel offers excellent value for money. The garden is very quiet, and except for breakfast time, you hardly see other guests. Wandering with your children, you can enjoy this tranquility and beauty exclusively. The hotel’s electric cart service is efficient and thoughtful, arriving within two minutes after ringing the bell, so traveling with children is hassle-free. The drivers are warm and attentive, patiently introducing the hotel’s architectural history and Wuyi Mountain travel tips to the children, helping the whole family quickly integrate into the environment and gain a lot. The hotel’s leisure facilities are comprehensive. The lakeside spa allows adults to relax body and mind, the gym meets exercise needs, and the pool is a joyful place for children. The autumn water temperature is suitable, letting children play freely in the pool and enjoy happy times. The hotel lobby offers free Song Dynasty costume rentals. Wearing exquisite Song-style clothes with your children, you can take photos and check in at the courtyard, experiencing the charm of Song culture and capturing unique family moments. Each room includes three complimentary travel photo services. Professional photography captures warm interactions between parents and children. However, if you want some quiet time alone, brewing tea in the room and quietly enjoying the autumn mountain view is also a rare pleasure. The breakfast variety is rich and delicious, featuring all kinds of Wuyi specialties with balanced nutrition to satisfy the whole family’s tastes. The sweet, soft, and juicy guava is especially loved by children. Many guests get up early to taste this delicacy, making it a major highlight of the hotel. A minor drawback is that the bedroom space in the Shanjing room type is relatively small, contrasting with the spacious bathroom, making the space allocation somewhat unreasonable, but it does not affect the overall living experience. In summary, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is a treasure choice for family trips to Wuyi Mountain. Whether it’s the Song-style aesthetic atmosphere, high-quality service, or rich family facilities, it allows the whole family to spend an unforgettable autumn vacation. Highly recommended!

During this trip to Xingyi, Guizhou, I specifically chose to stay at Fengxi Cave Homestay to experience a luxurious getaway that blends seamlessly with nature. Known as the 'paradise under the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest,' Xingyi, combined with the unique cave design of this homestay, is irresistibly appealing—perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and completely relax. The hotel is located in Group 2, Changchong Village, Zherong Town, hidden within a natural cave atop a mountain. Opening the door reveals breathtaking views of Wanfeng Lake and the layered mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment is in the early morning when swallows return to their nests outside the window, filling the valley with vitality. It feels deeply connected to nature, and even breathing feels fresher. The air here is excellent, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and birds, making it ideal for travelers wanting to shed their burdens and forget urban stress. The rooms are designed with high-end comfort in mind, with some featuring smart home systems. The interiors are clean and elegant, with thoughtful attention to detail. Upon check-in, the hotel staff proactively assist with luggage and provide attentive service, quickly responding to any needs. Their complimentary afternoon tea and exquisite breakfast are particularly recommended. The restaurant uses local ingredients, and every meal is satisfying and heartfelt. The hotel's surroundings are very tranquil, creating a relaxed atmosphere suitable for couples, families, or solo travelers. There are many nearby attractions worth visiting. Besides Wanfeng Lake, I recommend exploring the hiking trails of Wanfeng Forest, which offer stunning scenery along the way and small villages to leisurely stroll through. If you're driving, transportation is more convenient as the homestay provides parking. For public transport, you can first reach Xingyi City, then hire a car or take a minibus to the homestay. Travel Tips: It's recommended to check in early to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the lake view in the restaurant, immersing yourself in the most leisurely vacation vibe. In the morning, don't miss watching the swallows return to their nests—it's undoubtedly the most enchanting moment of the day. Booking Tips: These types of cave homestays are limited in number and tend to be fully booked during peak seasons or holidays. It's advisable to book at least two weeks in advance. Choose your room type based on whether you prefer smart home features or lake-view windows. For those who love taking photos, opt for a room with panoramic windows. City Travel Notes: Xingyi has significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so bring a jacket. The mountainous area has many mosquitoes, so remember to bring insect repellent. Xingyi is ideal for slow travel, so consider staying longer at the homestay to fully enjoy the luxurious and natural vacation experience.

Located beside Canterbury’s medieval city walls, this charming public garden is the perfect place to slow down after exploring the busy streets nearby.

After heading north from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, the scenery suddenly becomes desolate. When the A82 road passes through Glencoe Gorge, the mountains on both sides are steep. In April, lingering snow clings to the shaded slopes. This area is a filming location for 007 and Harry Potter. Following closely is the Loch Ness cruise. The lake is nearly 300 meters deep and remains unfrozen year-round. The lake itself is already impressive enough.

Last weekend, I met up with some friends in Oxford for Hangzhou cuisine. The restaurant was opened by a team from Xixi in Hangzhou, and the food was incredibly authentic. From the sauce dishes and tableware to the wooden tables and chairs outside, everything felt just like being back in China. The stir-fried noodles with pork kidney (Yaohua Banchuan) were absolutely amazing. The rich, fragrant sauce was packed with flavour, and you could see the chef preparing everything fresh before bringing the noodles out and pouring the topping over them. It was seriously delicious. After a satisfying meal, we drove to Bicester Village. It was just in time for the summer sale, with plenty of extra discounts. Loewe, Celine, and Max Mara were all great for shopping, and I also enjoyed browsing Bamford, a lovely organic lifestyle brand. Before heading home, we wandered around Oxford for a bit. During the summer time, England really does have its own charm. #summertime

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing with friends about the joyful family time we had last year in Amalfi, Italy. Unexpectedly, this weekend, taking advantage of the good weather, I brought my child to Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and successfully relived that "Italian-style" romance and comfort! The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village away from the hustle and bustle, with a superior location. It takes only about an hour by car from Xiamen or Quanzhou, making transportation convenient and very suitable for a short family vacation with kids. Upon arriving at the hotel, the sea breeze gently brushed my cheeks. Sitting quietly by the sea with my child, watching the waves repeatedly crash against the shore and listening to the sound of the sea instantly relaxed both body and mind. The golden sand beneath our feet was soft and crisp, feeling especially comfortable as if giving a natural foot massage. The child excitedly ran and played on the beach, releasing energy to the fullest. The most surprising thing was the excellent view from the hotel rooms. Opening my eyes from the bed, I could see the vast and boundless sea and sky merging into one. The deep blue sea connected with the sky, creating a stunning view. Every time the child woke up, they were amazed by the scene and filled with joy. Even more unexpectedly, a friend specially prepared a parent-child kayaking activity 🚣‍♀️! Taking the child to try boating at sea for the first time, under the guidance of a professional coach, gradually mastering paddling skills. Watching the child’s serious expression while paddling and the happy smile after successfully handling the kayak made this unique parent-child experience especially precious. 💡 Highlights of the family experience: · Beach play: Play with your child on the hotel’s surrounding beach, build sandcastles, collect shells, and enjoy a leisurely family beach time. · Seaside sightseeing: In the early morning or evening, take your child to watch the sunrise or sunset by the sea and feel the magnificent natural scenery. · Kayaking experience: Under professional guidance, let your child experience kayaking, training courage and coordination, and enhancing parent-child interaction. · Fishing village exploration: Take your child into the nearby small fishing villages to experience the simple charm of the fishing village and learn about the daily life of fishermen. 🏨 Accommodation experience: The hotel rooms are designed simply yet stylishly, incorporating marine elements, warm and comfortable, allowing family guests to have a good rest. Some rooms have balconies where you can see the sea just by opening the window, letting children feel the charm of the ocean anytime. Staying with kids at Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, spending a weekend by the sea full of "Italian-style" charm, gaining abundant family happiness and memories, is definitely a highly recommended short family vacation!

On my trip to the UK’s Lake District, I found the most worthwhile stay of my life! This century-old house nestled halfway up the mountain is truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness😭 Open the window in the early morning, and the entire Lake Windermere quietly spreads out beneath your feet, with layers of green mountains and crystal-clear blue water. The evening breeze gently blows through the mountains, and the air is filled with the fresh sweetness of damp moss and wild roses. It’s exactly the kind of British countryside healing feeling you read about in poetry🌿 ✨Real Stay Rating Reference Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A perfect score without hesitation!) Cleanliness & Facilities: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (The old house retains a vintage charm, with clean and exquisite facilities) Environment & Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (The ultimate Lake District view!) Service & Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Gentle and attentive, with a fully immersive atmosphere) 📍Location|A Quiet Secret Halfway Up the Mountain The hotel is located on the most classic lakeside highland of Lake Windermere, and the location is truly unbeatable! It’s super close to the busiest town main street and lakeside trail, making it very convenient for outings, dining, and buying souvenirs. But the entire old house is independently tucked away on a private half-mountain estate, almost isolated from the world. Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, the whole forest is extremely quiet, with only crisp bird songs, rustling leaves, and the gentle sound of the lake by your ears—perfectly unlocking the English countryside secluded life! 🛏️Rooms|Gentle and Healing Lake View Residences I absolutely love the hotel’s decor style! It preserves the classic vintage architectural framework of the century-old house, paired with minimalist and gentle modern furnishings—a sophisticated and comfortable blend of old and new. The overall creamy white and gray-green low-saturation color scheme is gentle and healing, perfectly matching my aesthetic. The mattress on the large bed is thick and soft; lying down feels like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away travel fatigue. I sincerely recommend booking a lake view room! The extra-large floor-to-ceiling window is a natural picture frame; pull back the curtains to take in the layers of green forest and the clear waters of Lake Windermere, a view full of healing natural greenery. Some room types come with an outdoor bathtub; soaking in warm water at dusk while quietly watching the distant mountain skyline shift from green to gentle pink-orange, with the mountain breeze brushing your face, all worries are healed, and your soul is fully recharged✨ 🌳Public Areas|14 Acres of Private Forest Estate Who can resist an English estate with thousands of acres of forest! The hotel is surrounded by a private garden and woodland spanning fourteen acres, offering a large private estate with exclusive tranquil scenery. Winding gravel paths weave through the greenery, with artistic sculptures and niche floral landscapes around every corner—every step a surprise, every snapshot a British countryside masterpiece. There’s a private niche lake where you can leisurely row a small wooden boat and immerse yourself in the gentle mountain and water scenery of the Lake District. The large, flat English lawn is perfect for spreading out a picnic blanket for an authentic English picnic with full atmosphere, instantly elevating your vacation ritual. My favorite is the glass greenhouse bar! The transparent glass building is filled with natural light; sitting there in the backlight, daydreaming, sipping drinks, and watching the mountains and lake, the relaxation vibe is off the charts—you could spend the whole afternoon without getting bored~ 🤍Service|Gentle and Thoughtful Customized Experience The hotel’s service is low-key yet attentive, never overly enthusiastic. Staff will help you plan a free one-day Lake District itinerary based on your schedule. They’ll arrange popular lakeside trails, vintage trains, lake cruises, and niche valley check-in spots in a reasonable order, so you don’t have to do the research yourself—a blessing for the lazy! Important tip! The hotel restaurant’s atmosphere is amazing. If it’s an anniversary or a couple’s trip, be sure to ask the front desk in advance to reserve a scenic seat. The gentle lighting combined with lake and mountain views will take the romantic atmosphere to the next level, making the occasion unforgettable💐 🚗Nearby Activities|Super Convenient Lake District Travel ▫️Short Trips: Walk or take a few minutes’ drive to the lakeside trail and town main street—perfect for shopping, enjoying English afternoon tea, and lakeside strolls. ▫️Deep Hiking: Drive 20-30 minutes to reach the remote original valleys of the Lake District, unlocking niche hiking routes with fewer people and beautiful scenery, immersing yourself in the English countryside landscape.

#hellohalloween From across the Thames, the London Eye rises like a slow-spinning halo above the city — elegant, enormous, and quietly commanding. Each rotation takes over 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline: bridges, spires, glass towers, and the pulse of the city below. Each capsule fits up to 25 people, floating like bubbles in a giant wheel of wonder. For many, it’s a bucket-list experience. For me, it was a moment of admiration from afar — a bit too pricey for my budget, but no less magical. I stood by the river, camera in hand, capturing its silhouette against the sky. Sometimes, seeing from a distance is its own kind of intimacy.

If there's one thing London does brilliantly, it's bakeries. Whether you're after flaky pastries or the perfect coffee stop, these are the ones I'd genuinely recommend. 🥐 Fortitude Bakehouse - One of London's most-loved bakeries. Get there early because the pastries sell out fast. The cinnamon bun and filled doughnuts are always worth the queue. 🍰 Miel Bakery - A cosy little French bakery serving buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, and some of the best madeleines I've had in London. 🥖 Jolene - Famous for naturally fermented bread and seasonal pastries. Simple, fresh, and consistently excellent. 🥐 Pophams Bakery - Their laminated pastries are unreal, especially the bacon and maple swirl if you fancy something savoury. 🍓 Arôme Bakery - A French-Asian bakery known for creative pastries, matcha bakes, and incredible fruit danishes. My advice? Go early, grab a coffee, and try a few things to share. London's best bakeries are popular for a reason, and once you've had your first bite, you'll understand why. ☕🥐

This exceptionally unique hotel took my wife and me completely by surprise. The first thing that grabs your attention is undoubtedly the stunning design and architecture of the Yacht Hotel. However, the real highlight becomes evident as soon as you check in—the staff are some of the nicest and most friendly people I’ve encountered in a very long time. The exceptional restaurant is incredibly accommodating, and the lovely views over the water add to the experience. The Sun Deck Bar is outstanding, with really good prices to match. We absolutely loved our room, which gave the sensation of being on a very exclusive cruise. We’ll definitely be back and are excited about the rumored changes that might be coming to the Sunborn.

There’s a market on Saturdays with the best atmosphere! You can watch the movie "Notting Hill" 🎞️ before you go DAY 3|Searching for the Prime Meridian Originally planned to visit the White Cliffs, but the weather wasn’t good, so changed plans last minute. Exploring Camden’s small shops randomly was the most fun. Finally, at the Greenwich Observatory, I found the Prime Meridian, standing with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere, very memorable DAY 4|Museums & Theatre British Museum → National Gallery → Phantom of the Opera in the evening. How can you come to the UK without seeing a show? Highly recommended DAY 5|Museums & Shopping to Finish Natural History Museum → V&A → Westminster Abbey → Shopping at Harrods / Selfridges 🛍️.

In autumn, Wuyi Mountain boasts clear skies and crisp air, with forests dyed in layers of color, adding charm to the mountain and water scenery. Bringing your children here for a vacation, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice. As the top hotel in the hearts of tour guides, its unique Song Dynasty aesthetics, high-quality service, and excellent environment bring full surprises and comfort to family trips. The hotel centers on Song Dynasty architectural aesthetics, with an overall elegant and rustic style. The autumn garden is especially beautiful, with golden leaves complementing the antique buildings, creating a picturesque scene as if stepping into a Song Dynasty painting. In the early morning, opening the balcony door reveals the mist-shrouded Dawang Peak faintly visible in the autumn morning light. Brewing a cup of rich Dahongpao tea with your children, you can feel the blend of tea fragrance and autumn atmosphere, starting a leisurely day. The distinctive bamboo raft afternoon tea is an excellent choice for parent-child interaction. Drifting on a bamboo raft over the calm water, admiring the autumn-colored forests on both banks, with a gentle breeze and peaceful time, creates warm family memories. In the evening, take a stroll along Chongyang Creek. The autumn evening breeze is gentle and comfortable, the creek flows softly, children pick up pebbles by the water, enjoying the fun of nature, while adults appreciate the mountain and water scenery under the sunset glow, washing away fatigue. Even without visiting scenic spots, staying at the hotel for two days allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of Wuyi Mountain, letting family time slow down. During the off-season, the hotel offers excellent value for money. The garden is very quiet, and except for breakfast time, you hardly see other guests. Wandering with your children, you can enjoy this tranquility and beauty exclusively. The hotel’s electric cart service is efficient and thoughtful, arriving within two minutes after ringing the bell, so traveling with children is hassle-free. The drivers are warm and attentive, patiently introducing the hotel’s architectural history and Wuyi Mountain travel tips to the children, helping the whole family quickly integrate into the environment and gain a lot. The hotel’s leisure facilities are comprehensive. The lakeside spa allows adults to relax body and mind, the gym meets exercise needs, and the pool is a joyful place for children. The autumn water temperature is suitable, letting children play freely in the pool and enjoy happy times. The hotel lobby offers free Song Dynasty costume rentals. Wearing exquisite Song-style clothes with your children, you can take photos and check in at the courtyard, experiencing the charm of Song culture and capturing unique family moments. Each room includes three complimentary travel photo services. Professional photography captures warm interactions between parents and children. However, if you want some quiet time alone, brewing tea in the room and quietly enjoying the autumn mountain view is also a rare pleasure. The breakfast variety is rich and delicious, featuring all kinds of Wuyi specialties with balanced nutrition to satisfy the whole family’s tastes. The sweet, soft, and juicy guava is especially loved by children. Many guests get up early to taste this delicacy, making it a major highlight of the hotel. A minor drawback is that the bedroom space in the Shanjing room type is relatively small, contrasting with the spacious bathroom, making the space allocation somewhat unreasonable, but it does not affect the overall living experience. In summary, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is a treasure choice for family trips to Wuyi Mountain. Whether it’s the Song-style aesthetic atmosphere, high-quality service, or rich family facilities, it allows the whole family to spend an unforgettable autumn vacation. Highly recommended!

During this trip to Xingyi, Guizhou, I specifically chose to stay at Fengxi Cave Homestay to experience a luxurious getaway that blends seamlessly with nature.

The most unforgettable moment is in the early morning when swallows return to their nests outside the window, filling the valley with vitality. It feels deeply connected to nature, and even breathing feels fresher. The air here is excellent, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and birds, making it ideal for travelers wanting to shed their burdens and forget urban stress. The rooms are designed with high-end comfort in mind, with some featuring smart home systems. The interiors are clean and elegant, with thoughtful attention to detail. Upon check-in, the hotel staff proactively assist with luggage and provide attentive service, quickly responding to any needs. Their complimentary afternoon tea and exquisite breakfast are particularly recommended. The restaurant uses local ingredients, and every meal is satisfying and heartfelt. The hotel's surroundings are very tranquil, creating a relaxed atmosphere suitable for couples, families, or solo travelers. There are many nearby attractions worth visiting. Besides Wanfeng Lake, I recommend exploring the hiking trails of Wanfeng Forest, which offer stunning scenery along the way and small villages to leisurely stroll through. If you're driving, transportation is more convenient as the homestay provides parking. For public transport, you can first reach Xingyi City, then hire a car or take a minibus to the homestay. Travel Tips: It's recommended to check in early to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the lake view in the restaurant, immersing yourself in the most leisurely vacation vibe. In the morning, don't miss watching the swallows return to their nests—it's undoubtedly the most enchanting moment of the day. Booking Tips: These types of cave homestays are limited in number and tend to be fully booked during peak seasons or holidays. It's advisable to book at least two weeks in advance. Choose your room type based on whether you prefer smart home features or lake-view windows. For those who love taking photos, opt for a room with panoramic windows. City Travel Notes: Xingyi has significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so bring a jacket. The mountainous area has many mosquitoes, so remember to bring insect repellent. Xingyi is ideal for slow travel, so consider staying longer at the homestay to fully enjoy the luxurious and natural vacation experience.

But no… This hidden gem is tucked away in Little Venice, right in the heart of London.

After heading north from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, the scenery suddenly becomes desolate. When the A82 road passes through Glencoe Gorge, the mountains on both sides are steep. In April, lingering snow clings to the shaded slopes. This area is a filming location for 007 and Harry Potter. Following closely is the Loch Ness cruise. The lake is nearly 300 meters deep and remains unfrozen year-round. The lake itself is already impressive enough.

Last weekend, I met up with some friends in Oxford for Hangzhou cuisine. The restaurant was opened by a team from Xixi in Hangzhou, and the food was incredibly authentic. From the sauce dishes and tableware to the wooden tables and chairs outside, everything felt just like being back in China. The stir-fried noodles with pork kidney (Yaohua Banchuan) were absolutely amazing. The rich, fragrant sauce was packed with flavour, and you could see the chef preparing everything fresh before bringing the noodles out and pouring the topping over them. It was seriously delicious. After a satisfying meal, we drove to Bicester Village. It was just in time for the summer sale, with plenty of extra discounts. Loewe, Celine, and Max Mara were all great for shopping, and I also enjoyed browsing Bamford, a lovely organic lifestyle brand. Before heading home, we wandered around Oxford for a bit. During the summer time, England really does have its own charm. #summertime

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing with friends about the joyful family time we had last year in Amalfi, Italy. Unexpectedly, this weekend, taking advantage of the good weather, I brought my child to Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and successfully relived that "Italian-style" romance and comfort! The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village away from the hustle and bustle, with a superior location. It takes only about an hour by car from Xiamen or Quanzhou, making transportation convenient and very suitable for a short family vacation with kids. Upon arriving at the hotel, the sea breeze gently brushed my cheeks. Sitting quietly by the sea with my child, watching the waves repeatedly crash against the shore and listening to the sound of the sea instantly relaxed both body and mind. The golden sand beneath our feet was soft and crisp, feeling especially comfortable as if giving a natural foot massage. The child excitedly ran and played on the beach, releasing energy to the fullest. The most surprising thing was the excellent view from the hotel rooms. Opening my eyes from the bed, I could see the vast and boundless sea and sky merging into one. The deep blue sea connected with the sky, creating a stunning view. Every time the child woke up, they were amazed by the scene and filled with joy. Even more unexpectedly, a friend specially prepared a parent-child kayaking activity 🚣‍♀️! Taking the child to try boating at sea for the first time, under the guidance of a professional coach, gradually mastering paddling skills. Watching the child’s serious expression while paddling and the happy smile after successfully handling the kayak made this unique parent-child experience especially precious. 💡 Highlights of the family experience: · Beach play: Play with your child on the hotel’s surrounding beach, build sandcastles, collect shells, and enjoy a leisurely family beach time. · Seaside sightseeing: In the early morning or evening, take your child to watch the sunrise or sunset by the sea and feel the magnificent natural scenery. · Kayaking experience: Under professional guidance, let your child experience kayaking, training courage and coordination, and enhancing parent-child interaction. · Fishing village exploration: Take your child into the nearby small fishing villages to experience the simple charm of the fishing village and learn about the daily life of fishermen. 🏨 Accommodation experience: The hotel rooms are designed simply yet stylishly, incorporating marine elements, warm and comfortable, allowing family guests to have a good rest. Some rooms have balconies where you can see the sea just by opening the window, letting children feel the charm of the ocean anytime. Staying with kids at Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, spending a weekend by the sea full of "Italian-style" charm, gaining abundant family happiness and memories, is definitely a highly recommended short family vacation!

On my trip to the UK’s Lake District, I found the most worthwhile stay of my life! This century-old house nestled halfway up the mountain is truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness😭 Open the window in the early morning, and the entire Lake Windermere quietly spreads out beneath your feet, with layers of green mountains and crystal-clear blue water. The evening breeze gently blows through the mountains, and the air is filled with the fresh sweetness of damp moss and wild roses. It’s exactly the kind of British countryside healing feeling you read about in poetry🌿 ✨Real Stay Rating Reference Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (A perfect score without hesitation!)

Service & Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Gentle and attentive, with a fully immersive atmosphere) 📍Location|A Quiet Secret Halfway Up the Mountain The hotel is located on the most classic lakeside highland of Lake Windermere, and the location is truly unbeatable! It’s super close to the busiest town main street and lakeside trail, making it very convenient for outings, dining, and buying souvenirs. But the entire old house is independently tucked away on a private half-mountain estate, almost isolated from the world. Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, the whole forest is extremely quiet, with only crisp bird songs, rustling leaves, and the gentle sound of the lake by your ears—perfectly unlocking the English countryside secluded life! 🛏️Rooms|Gentle and Healing Lake View Residences I absolutely love the hotel’s decor style! It preserves the classic vintage architectural framework of the century-old house, paired with minimalist and gentle modern furnishings—a sophisticated and comfortable blend of old and new. The overall creamy white and gray-green low-saturation color scheme is gentle and healing, perfectly matching my aesthetic. The mattress on the large bed is thick and soft; lying down feels like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away travel fatigue. I sincerely recommend booking a lake view room! The extra-large floor-to-ceiling window is a natural picture frame; pull back the curtains to take in the layers of green forest and the clear waters of Lake Windermere, a view full of healing natural greenery.

There’s a private niche lake where you can leisurely row a small wooden boat and immerse yourself in the gentle mountain and water scenery of the Lake District. The large, flat English lawn is perfect for spreading out a picnic blanket for an authentic English picnic with full atmosphere, instantly elevating your vacation ritual. My favorite is the glass greenhouse bar! The transparent glass building is filled with natural light; sitting there in the backlight, daydreaming, sipping drinks, and watching the mountains and lake, the relaxation vibe is off the charts—you could spend the whole afternoon without getting bored~ 🤍Service|Gentle and Thoughtful Customized Experience The hotel’s service is low-key yet attentive, never overly enthusiastic.

#hellohalloween From across the Thames, the London Eye rises like a slow-spinning halo above the city — elegant, enormous, and quietly commanding. Each rotation takes over 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline: bridges, spires, glass towers, and the pulse of the city below. Each capsule fits up to 25 people, floating like bubbles in a giant wheel of wonder. For many, it’s a bucket-list experience. For me, it was a moment of admiration from afar — a bit too pricey for my budget, but no less magical. I stood by the river, camera in hand, capturing its silhouette against the sky. Sometimes, seeing from a distance is its own kind of intimacy.

If there's one thing London does brilliantly, it's bakeries. Whether you're after flaky pastries or the perfect coffee stop, these are the ones I'd genuinely recommend. 🥐 Fortitude Bakehouse - One of London's most-loved bakeries. Get there early because the pastries sell out fast. The cinnamon bun and filled doughnuts are always worth the queue. 🍰 Miel Bakery - A cosy little French bakery serving buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, and some of the best madeleines I've had in London. 🥖 Jolene - Famous for naturally fermented bread and seasonal pastries. Simple, fresh, and consistently excellent. 🥐 Pophams Bakery - Their laminated pastries are unreal, especially the bacon and maple swirl if you fancy something savoury. 🍓 Arôme Bakery - A French-Asian bakery known for creative pastries, matcha bakes, and incredible fruit danishes.

This exceptionally unique hotel took my wife and me completely by surprise. The first thing that grabs your attention is undoubtedly the stunning design and architecture of the Yacht Hotel. However, the real highlight becomes evident as soon as you check in—the staff are some of the nicest and most friendly people I’ve encountered in a very long time. The exceptional restaurant is incredibly accommodating, and the lovely views over the water add to the experience. The Sun Deck Bar is outstanding, with really good prices to match. We absolutely loved our room, which gave the sensation of being on a very exclusive cruise. We’ll definitely be back and are excited about the rumored changes that might be coming to the Sunborn.

The city’s attractions are concentrated, requiring no long-distance travel, making it easy to explore on foot—perfect for traveling with kids. This time, we stayed at the Lijiang Boyin Hotel (Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Xiangshan Scenic Area branch). Thanks to its excellent location and high-quality service, it ranks as the top scenic hotel in Guilin, offering a perfect stay experience. The hotel is located by the lake with a unique geographical advantage, just a 2-minute walk to the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The mountain and lake view room we booked offers an excellent view. Opening the window, the autumn lake and mountain scenery perfectly frame the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The sky is clear, the lake is blue, and the leaves are turning golden, creating a picturesque scene. At 7 p.m., the Sun and Moon Twin Towers light up, shining brilliantly against the autumn night sky. Watching this stunning view with the kids by the window is especially romantic. Nearby attractions are convenient to visit. A 10-minute walk takes you to Xiangshan Scenic Area, where you can take a boat ride on the Lijiang River, enjoying the autumn landscape along both banks.

In autumn, Wuyi Mountain boasts clear skies and crisp air, with forests dyed in layers of color, adding charm to the mountain and water scenery. Bringing your children here for a vacation, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice. As the top hotel in the hearts of tour guides, its unique Song Dynasty aesthetics, high-quality service, and excellent environment bring full surprises and comfort to family trips. The hotel centers on Song Dynasty architectural aesthetics, with an overall elegant and rustic style. The autumn garden is especially beautiful, with golden leaves complementing the antique buildings, creating a picturesque scene as if stepping into a Song Dynasty painting. In the early morning, opening the balcony door reveals the mist-shrouded Dawang Peak faintly visible in the autumn morning light. Brewing a cup of rich Dahongpao tea with your children, you can feel the blend of tea fragrance and autumn atmosphere, starting a leisurely day. The distinctive bamboo raft afternoon tea is an excellent choice for parent-child interaction. Drifting on a bamboo raft over the calm water, admiring the autumn-colored forests on both banks, with a gentle breeze and peaceful time, creates warm family memories. In the evening, take a stroll along Chongyang Creek. The autumn evening breeze is gentle and comfortable, the creek flows softly, children pick up pebbles by the water, enjoying the fun of nature, while adults appreciate the mountain and water scenery under the sunset glow, washing away fatigue. Even without visiting scenic spots, staying at the hotel for two days allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of Wuyi Mountain, letting family time slow down. During the off-season, the hotel offers excellent value for money. The garden is very quiet, and except for breakfast time, you hardly see other guests. Wandering with your children, you can enjoy this tranquility and beauty exclusively. The hotel’s electric cart service is efficient and thoughtful, arriving within two minutes after ringing the bell, so traveling with children is hassle-free. The drivers are warm and attentive, patiently introducing the hotel’s architectural history and Wuyi Mountain travel tips to the children, helping the whole family quickly integrate into the environment and gain a lot. The hotel’s leisure facilities are comprehensive. The lakeside spa allows adults to relax body and mind, the gym meets exercise needs, and the pool is a joyful place for children. The autumn water temperature is suitable, letting children play freely in the pool and enjoy happy times. The hotel lobby offers free Song Dynasty costume rentals. Wearing exquisite Song-style clothes with your children, you can take photos and check in at the courtyard, experiencing the charm of Song culture and capturing unique family moments. Each room includes three complimentary travel photo services. Professional photography captures warm interactions between parents and children. However, if you want some quiet time alone, brewing tea in the room and quietly enjoying the autumn mountain view is also a rare pleasure. The breakfast variety is rich and delicious, featuring all kinds of Wuyi specialties with balanced nutrition to satisfy the whole family’s tastes. The sweet, soft, and juicy guava is especially loved by children. Many guests get up early to taste this delicacy, making it a major highlight of the hotel. A minor drawback is that the bedroom space in the Shanjing room type is relatively small, contrasting with the spacious bathroom, making the space allocation somewhat unreasonable, but it does not affect the overall living experience. In summary, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is a treasure choice for family trips to Wuyi Mountain. Whether it’s the Song-style aesthetic atmosphere, high-quality service, or rich family facilities, it allows the whole family to spend an unforgettable autumn vacation. Highly recommended!

During this trip to Xingyi, Guizhou, I specifically chose to stay at Fengxi Cave Homestay to experience a luxurious getaway that blends seamlessly with nature. Known as the 'paradise under the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest,' Xingyi, combined with the unique cave design of this homestay, is irresistibly appealing—perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and completely relax. The hotel is located in Group 2, Changchong Village, Zherong Town, hidden within a natural cave atop a mountain. Opening the door reveals breathtaking views of Wanfeng Lake and the layered mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment is in the early morning when swallows return to their nests outside the window, filling the valley with vitality. It feels deeply connected to nature, and even breathing feels fresher. The air here is excellent, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and birds, making it ideal for travelers wanting to shed their burdens and forget urban stress. The rooms are designed with high-end comfort in mind, with some featuring smart home systems. The interiors are clean and elegant, with thoughtful attention to detail. Upon check-in, the hotel staff proactively assist with luggage and provide attentive service, quickly responding to any needs. Their complimentary afternoon tea and exquisite breakfast are particularly recommended. The restaurant uses local ingredients, and every meal is satisfying and heartfelt. The hotel's surroundings are very tranquil, creating a relaxed atmosphere suitable for couples, families, or solo travelers. There are many nearby attractions worth visiting. Besides Wanfeng Lake, I recommend exploring the hiking trails of Wanfeng Forest, which offer stunning scenery along the way and small villages to leisurely stroll through. If you're driving, transportation is more convenient as the homestay provides parking. For public transport, you can first reach Xingyi City, then hire a car or take a minibus to the homestay. Travel Tips: It's recommended to check in early to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the lake view in the restaurant, immersing yourself in the most leisurely vacation vibe. In the morning, don't miss watching the swallows return to their nests—it's undoubtedly the most enchanting moment of the day. Booking Tips: These types of cave homestays are limited in number and tend to be fully booked during peak seasons or holidays. It's advisable to book at least two weeks in advance. Choose your room type based on whether you prefer smart home features or lake-view windows. For those who love taking photos, opt for a room with panoramic windows. City Travel Notes: Xingyi has significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so bring a jacket. The mountainous area has many mosquitoes, so remember to bring insect repellent. Xingyi is ideal for slow travel, so consider staying longer at the homestay to fully enjoy the luxurious and natural vacation experience.

After heading north from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, the scenery suddenly becomes desolate. When the A82 road passes through Glencoe Gorge, the mountains on both sides are steep. In April, lingering snow clings to the shaded slopes. This area is a filming location for 007 and Harry Potter. Following closely is the Loch Ness cruise. The lake is nearly 300 meters deep and remains unfrozen year-round. The lake itself is already impressive enough.

Last weekend, I met up with some friends in Oxford for Hangzhou cuisine. The restaurant was opened by a team from Xixi in Hangzhou, and the food was incredibly authentic. From the sauce dishes and tableware to the wooden tables and chairs outside, everything felt just like being back in China. The stir-fried noodles with pork kidney (Yaohua Banchuan) were absolutely amazing. The rich, fragrant sauce was packed with flavour, and you could see the chef preparing everything fresh before bringing the noodles out and pouring the topping over them. It was seriously delicious. After a satisfying meal, we drove to Bicester Village. It was just in time for the summer sale, with plenty of extra discounts. Loewe, Celine, and Max Mara were all great for shopping, and I also enjoyed browsing Bamford, a lovely organic lifestyle brand. Before heading home, we wandered around Oxford for a bit. During the summer time, England really does have its own charm. #summertime

#underratedspots 🌀 Is your brain ready to be tricked? 🤯 We spent a few hours exploring the Twist Museum in London, where every room challenged the way we see the world. From optical illusions and mind-bending exhibits to interactive installations, it was impossible not to smile (and take lots of photos! 📸). It's a brilliant indoor activity if you're visiting London, especially on a hot or rainy day, and it's just as much fun for adults as it is for kids. Have you visited the Twist Museum? Which illusion would you want to try first? 👇 #TwistMuseum #London #VisitLondon #LondonDaysOut #CheckinAway

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing with friends about the joyful family time we had last year in Amalfi, Italy. Unexpectedly, this weekend, taking advantage of the good weather, I brought my child to Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and successfully relived that "Italian-style" romance and comfort! The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village away from the hustle and bustle, with a superior location. It takes only about an hour by car from Xiamen or Quanzhou, making transportation convenient and very suitable for a short family vacation with kids. Upon arriving at the hotel, the sea breeze gently brushed my cheeks. Sitting quietly by the sea with my child, watching the waves repeatedly crash against the shore and listening to the sound of the sea instantly relaxed both body and mind. The golden sand beneath our feet was soft and crisp, feeling especially comfortable as if giving a natural foot massage. The child excitedly ran and played on the beach, releasing energy to the fullest. The most surprising thing was the excellent view from the hotel rooms. Opening my eyes from the bed, I could see the vast and boundless sea and sky merging into one. The deep blue sea connected with the sky, creating a stunning view. Every time the child woke up, they were amazed by the scene and filled with joy. Even more unexpectedly, a friend specially prepared a parent-child kayaking activity 🚣‍♀️! Taking the child to try boating at sea for the first time, under the guidance of a professional coach, gradually mastering paddling skills. Watching the child’s serious expression while paddling and the happy smile after successfully handling the kayak made this unique parent-child experience especially precious. 💡 Highlights of the family experience: · Beach play: Play with your child on the hotel’s surrounding beach, build sandcastles, collect shells, and enjoy a leisurely family beach time. · Seaside sightseeing: In the early morning or evening, take your child to watch the sunrise or sunset by the sea and feel the magnificent natural scenery. · Kayaking experience: Under professional guidance, let your child experience kayaking, training courage and coordination, and enhancing parent-child interaction. · Fishing village exploration: Take your child into the nearby small fishing villages to experience the simple charm of the fishing village and learn about the daily life of fishermen. 🏨 Accommodation experience: The hotel rooms are designed simply yet stylishly, incorporating marine elements, warm and comfortable, allowing family guests to have a good rest. Some rooms have balconies where you can see the sea just by opening the window, letting children feel the charm of the ocean anytime. Staying with kids at Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, spending a weekend by the sea full of "Italian-style" charm, gaining abundant family happiness and memories, is definitely a highly recommended short family vacation!

On my trip to the UK’s Lake District, I found the most worthwhile stay of my life! This century-old house nestled halfway up the mountain is truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness😭 Open the window in the early morning, and the entire Lake Windermere quietly spreads out beneath your feet, with layers of green mountains and crystal-clear blue water. The evening breeze gently blows through the mountains, and the air is filled with the fresh sweetness of damp moss and wild roses.

It’s super close to the busiest town main street and lakeside trail, making it very convenient for outings, dining, and buying souvenirs. But the entire old house is independently tucked away on a private half-mountain estate, almost isolated from the world. Far from the tourist hustle and bustle, the whole forest is extremely quiet, with only crisp bird songs, rustling leaves, and the gentle sound of the lake by your ears—perfectly unlocking the English countryside secluded life! 🛏️Rooms|Gentle and Healing Lake View Residences I absolutely love the hotel’s decor style! It preserves the classic vintage architectural framework of the century-old house, paired with minimalist and gentle modern furnishings—a sophisticated and comfortable blend of old and new. The overall creamy white and gray-green low-saturation color scheme is gentle and healing, perfectly matching my aesthetic. The mattress on the large bed is thick and soft; lying down feels like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away travel fatigue. I sincerely recommend booking a lake view room! The extra-large floor-to-ceiling window is a natural picture frame; pull back the curtains to take in the layers of green forest and the clear waters of Lake Windermere, a view full of healing natural greenery.

Winding gravel paths weave through the greenery, with artistic sculptures and niche floral landscapes around every corner—every step a surprise, every snapshot a British countryside masterpiece. There’s a private niche lake where you can leisurely row a small wooden boat and immerse yourself in the gentle mountain and water scenery of the Lake District. The large, flat English lawn is perfect for spreading out a picnic blanket for an authentic English picnic with full atmosphere, instantly elevating your vacation ritual. My favorite is the glass greenhouse bar! The transparent glass building is filled with natural light; sitting there in the backlight, daydreaming, sipping drinks, and watching the mountains and lake, the relaxation vibe is off the charts—you could spend the whole afternoon without getting bored~ 🤍Service|Gentle and Thoughtful Customized Experience The hotel’s service is low-key yet attentive, never overly enthusiastic.

#hellohalloween From across the Thames, the London Eye rises like a slow-spinning halo above the city — elegant, enormous, and quietly commanding. Each rotation takes over 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline: bridges, spires, glass towers, and the pulse of the city below. Each capsule fits up to 25 people, floating like bubbles in a giant wheel of wonder. For many, it’s a bucket-list experience. For me, it was a moment of admiration from afar — a bit too pricey for my budget, but no less magical. I stood by the river, camera in hand, capturing its silhouette against the sky. Sometimes, seeing from a distance is its own kind of intimacy.

If there's one thing London does brilliantly, it's bakeries. Whether you're after flaky pastries or the perfect coffee stop, these are the ones I'd genuinely recommend. 🥐 Fortitude Bakehouse - One of London's most-loved bakeries. Get there early because the pastries sell out fast. The cinnamon bun and filled doughnuts are always worth the queue. 🍰 Miel Bakery - A cosy little French bakery serving buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, and some of the best madeleines I've had in London. 🥖 Jolene - Famous for naturally fermented bread and seasonal pastries. Simple, fresh, and consistently excellent. 🥐 Pophams Bakery - Their laminated pastries are unreal, especially the bacon and maple swirl if you fancy something savoury. 🍓 Arôme Bakery - A French-Asian bakery known for creative pastries, matcha bakes, and incredible fruit danishes. My advice? Go early, grab a coffee, and try a few things to share. London's best bakeries are popular for a reason, and once you've had your first bite, you'll understand why. ☕🥐

This exceptionally unique hotel took my wife and me completely by surprise. The first thing that grabs your attention is undoubtedly the stunning design and architecture of the Yacht Hotel. However, the real highlight becomes evident as soon as you check in—the staff are some of the nicest and most friendly people I’ve encountered in a very long time. The exceptional restaurant is incredibly accommodating, and the lovely views over the water add to the experience. The Sun Deck Bar is outstanding, with really good prices to match. We absolutely loved our room, which gave the sensation of being on a very exclusive cruise. We’ll definitely be back and are excited about the rumored changes that might be coming to the Sunborn.

There’s a market on Saturdays with the best atmosphere! You can watch the movie "Notting Hill" 🎞️ before you go DAY 3|Searching for the Prime Meridian Originally planned to visit the White Cliffs, but the weather wasn’t good, so changed plans last minute. Exploring Camden’s small shops randomly was the most fun. Finally, at the Greenwich Observatory, I found the Prime Meridian, standing with one foot in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere, very memorable DAY 4|Museums & Theatre British Museum → National Gallery → Phantom of the Opera in the evening. How can you come to the UK without seeing a show? Highly recommended DAY 5|Museums & Shopping to Finish Natural History Museum → V&A → Westminster Abbey → Shopping at Harrods / Selfridges 🛍️.

In autumn, Wuyi Mountain boasts clear skies and crisp air, with forests dyed in layers of color, adding charm to the mountain and water scenery. Bringing your children here for a vacation, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice. As the top hotel in the hearts of tour guides, its unique Song Dynasty aesthetics, high-quality service, and excellent environment bring full surprises and comfort to family trips. The hotel centers on Song Dynasty architectural aesthetics, with an overall elegant and rustic style. The autumn garden is especially beautiful, with golden leaves complementing the antique buildings, creating a picturesque scene as if stepping into a Song Dynasty painting. In the early morning, opening the balcony door reveals the mist-shrouded Dawang Peak faintly visible in the autumn morning light. Brewing a cup of rich Dahongpao tea with your children, you can feel the blend of tea fragrance and autumn atmosphere, starting a leisurely day. The distinctive bamboo raft afternoon tea is an excellent choice for parent-child interaction. Drifting on a bamboo raft over the calm water, admiring the autumn-colored forests on both banks, with a gentle breeze and peaceful time, creates warm family memories. In the evening, take a stroll along Chongyang Creek. The autumn evening breeze is gentle and comfortable, the creek flows softly, children pick up pebbles by the water, enjoying the fun of nature, while adults appreciate the mountain and water scenery under the sunset glow, washing away fatigue. Even without visiting scenic spots, staying at the hotel for two days allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of Wuyi Mountain, letting family time slow down. During the off-season, the hotel offers excellent value for money. The garden is very quiet, and except for breakfast time, you hardly see other guests. Wandering with your children, you can enjoy this tranquility and beauty exclusively. The hotel’s electric cart service is efficient and thoughtful, arriving within two minutes after ringing the bell, so traveling with children is hassle-free. The drivers are warm and attentive, patiently introducing the hotel’s architectural history and Wuyi Mountain travel tips to the children, helping the whole family quickly integrate into the environment and gain a lot. The hotel’s leisure facilities are comprehensive. The lakeside spa allows adults to relax body and mind, the gym meets exercise needs, and the pool is a joyful place for children. The autumn water temperature is suitable, letting children play freely in the pool and enjoy happy times. The hotel lobby offers free Song Dynasty costume rentals. Wearing exquisite Song-style clothes with your children, you can take photos and check in at the courtyard, experiencing the charm of Song culture and capturing unique family moments. Each room includes three complimentary travel photo services. Professional photography captures warm interactions between parents and children. However, if you want some quiet time alone, brewing tea in the room and quietly enjoying the autumn mountain view is also a rare pleasure. The breakfast variety is rich and delicious, featuring all kinds of Wuyi specialties with balanced nutrition to satisfy the whole family’s tastes. The sweet, soft, and juicy guava is especially loved by children. Many guests get up early to taste this delicacy, making it a major highlight of the hotel. A minor drawback is that the bedroom space in the Shanjing room type is relatively small, contrasting with the spacious bathroom, making the space allocation somewhat unreasonable, but it does not affect the overall living experience. In summary, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is a treasure choice for family trips to Wuyi Mountain. Whether it’s the Song-style aesthetic atmosphere, high-quality service, or rich family facilities, it allows the whole family to spend an unforgettable autumn vacation. Highly recommended!

During this trip to Xingyi, Guizhou, I specifically chose to stay at Fengxi Cave Homestay to experience a luxurious getaway that blends seamlessly with nature. Known as the 'paradise under the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest,' Xingyi, combined with the unique cave design of this homestay, is irresistibly appealing—perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and completely relax. The hotel is located in Group 2, Changchong Village, Zherong Town, hidden within a natural cave atop a mountain. Opening the door reveals breathtaking views of Wanfeng Lake and the layered mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment is in the early morning when swallows return to their nests outside the window, filling the valley with vitality. It feels deeply connected to nature, and even breathing feels fresher. The air here is excellent, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and birds, making it ideal for travelers wanting to shed their burdens and forget urban stress. The rooms are designed with high-end comfort in mind, with some featuring smart home systems. The interiors are clean and elegant, with thoughtful attention to detail. Upon check-in, the hotel staff proactively assist with luggage and provide attentive service, quickly responding to any needs. Their complimentary afternoon tea and exquisite breakfast are particularly recommended. The restaurant uses local ingredients, and every meal is satisfying and heartfelt. The hotel's surroundings are very tranquil, creating a relaxed atmosphere suitable for couples, families, or solo travelers. There are many nearby attractions worth visiting. Besides Wanfeng Lake, I recommend exploring the hiking trails of Wanfeng Forest, which offer stunning scenery along the way and small villages to leisurely stroll through. If you're driving, transportation is more convenient as the homestay provides parking. For public transport, you can first reach Xingyi City, then hire a car or take a minibus to the homestay. Travel Tips: It's recommended to check in early to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the lake view in the restaurant, immersing yourself in the most leisurely vacation vibe. In the morning, don't miss watching the swallows return to their nests—it's undoubtedly the most enchanting moment of the day. Booking Tips: These types of cave homestays are limited in number and tend to be fully booked during peak seasons or holidays. It's advisable to book at least two weeks in advance. Choose your room type based on whether you prefer smart home features or lake-view windows. For those who love taking photos, opt for a room with panoramic windows. City Travel Notes: Xingyi has significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so bring a jacket. The mountainous area has many mosquitoes, so remember to bring insect repellent. Xingyi is ideal for slow travel, so consider staying longer at the homestay to fully enjoy the luxurious and natural vacation experience.

After heading north from Edinburgh into the Scottish Highlands, the scenery suddenly becomes desolate. When the A82 road passes through Glencoe Gorge, the mountains on both sides are steep. In April, lingering snow clings to the shaded slopes. This area is a filming location for 007 and Harry Potter. Following closely is the Loch Ness cruise. The lake is nearly 300 meters deep and remains unfrozen year-round. The lake itself is already impressive enough.

Last weekend, I met up with some friends in Oxford for Hangzhou cuisine. The restaurant was opened by a team from Xixi in Hangzhou, and the food was incredibly authentic. From the sauce dishes and tableware to the wooden tables and chairs outside, everything felt just like being back in China. The stir-fried noodles with pork kidney (Yaohua Banchuan) were absolutely amazing. The rich, fragrant sauce was packed with flavour, and you could see the chef preparing everything fresh before bringing the noodles out and pouring the topping over them. It was seriously delicious. After a satisfying meal, we drove to Bicester Village. It was just in time for the summer sale, with plenty of extra discounts. Loewe, Celine, and Max Mara were all great for shopping, and I also enjoyed browsing Bamford, a lovely organic lifestyle brand. Before heading home, we wandered around Oxford for a bit. During the summer time, England really does have its own charm. #summertime

Just a few days ago, I was reminiscing with friends about the joyful family time we had last year in Amalfi, Italy. Unexpectedly, this weekend, taking advantage of the good weather, I brought my child to Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and successfully relived that "Italian-style" romance and comfort! The hotel is located in a quiet fishing village away from the hustle and bustle, with a superior location. It takes only about an hour by car from Xiamen or Quanzhou, making transportation convenient and very suitable for a short family vacation with kids. Upon arriving at the hotel, the sea breeze gently brushed my cheeks. Sitting quietly by the sea with my child, watching the waves repeatedly crash against the shore and listening to the sound of the sea instantly relaxed both body and mind. The golden sand beneath our feet was soft and crisp, feeling especially comfortable as if giving a natural foot massage. The child excitedly ran and played on the beach, releasing energy to the fullest. The most surprising thing was the excellent view from the hotel rooms. Opening my eyes from the bed, I could see the vast and boundless sea and sky merging into one. The deep blue sea connected with the sky, creating a stunning view. Every time the child woke up, they were amazed by the scene and filled with joy. Even more unexpectedly, a friend specially prepared a parent-child kayaking activity 🚣‍♀️! Taking the child to try boating at sea for the first time, under the guidance of a professional coach, gradually mastering paddling skills. Watching the child’s serious expression while paddling and the happy smile after successfully handling the kayak made this unique parent-child experience especially precious. 💡 Highlights of the family experience: · Beach play: Play with your child on the hotel’s surrounding beach, build sandcastles, collect shells, and enjoy a leisurely family beach time. · Seaside sightseeing: In the early morning or evening, take your child to watch the sunrise or sunset by the sea and feel the magnificent natural scenery. · Kayaking experience: Under professional guidance, let your child experience kayaking, training courage and coordination, and enhancing parent-child interaction. · Fishing village exploration: Take your child into the nearby small fishing villages to experience the simple charm of the fishing village and learn about the daily life of fishermen. 🏨 Accommodation experience: The hotel rooms are designed simply yet stylishly, incorporating marine elements, warm and comfortable, allowing family guests to have a good rest. Some rooms have balconies where you can see the sea just by opening the window, letting children feel the charm of the ocean anytime. Staying with kids at Qixu·Reef Hotel in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, spending a weekend by the sea full of "Italian-style" charm, gaining abundant family happiness and memories, is definitely a highly recommended short family vacation!

On my trip to the UK’s Lake District, I found the most worthwhile stay of my life! This century-old house nestled halfway up the mountain is truly breathtaking to the point of speechlessness😭 Open the window in the early morning, and the entire Lake Windermere quietly spreads out beneath your feet, with layers of green mountains and crystal-clear blue water.

But the entire old house is independently tucked away on a private half-mountain estate, almost isolated from the world.

The mattress on the large bed is thick and soft; lying down feels like sinking into a cloud, instantly melting away travel fatigue. I sincerely recommend booking a lake view room! The extra-large floor-to-ceiling window is a natural picture frame; pull back the curtains to take in the layers of green forest and the clear waters of Lake Windermere, a view full of healing natural greenery.

#hellohalloween From across the Thames, the London Eye rises like a slow-spinning halo above the city — elegant, enormous, and quietly commanding. Each rotation takes over 30 minutes, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline: bridges, spires, glass towers, and the pulse of the city below. Each capsule fits up to 25 people, floating like bubbles in a giant wheel of wonder. For many, it’s a bucket-list experience. For me, it was a moment of admiration from afar — a bit too pricey for my budget, but no less magical. I stood by the river, camera in hand, capturing its silhouette against the sky. Sometimes, seeing from a distance is its own kind of intimacy.

If there's one thing London does brilliantly, it's bakeries. Whether you're after flaky pastries or the perfect coffee stop, these are the ones I'd genuinely recommend. 🥐 Fortitude Bakehouse - One of London's most-loved bakeries. Get there early because the pastries sell out fast. The cinnamon bun and filled doughnuts are always worth the queue. 🍰 Miel Bakery - A cosy little French bakery serving buttery croissants, beautiful tarts, and some of the best madeleines I've had in London. 🥖 Jolene - Famous for naturally fermented bread and seasonal pastries. Simple, fresh, and consistently excellent. 🥐 Pophams Bakery - Their laminated pastries are unreal, especially the bacon and maple swirl if you fancy something savoury. 🍓 Arôme Bakery - A French-Asian bakery known for creative pastries, matcha bakes, and incredible fruit danishes. My advice? Go early, grab a coffee, and try a few things to share. London's best bakeries are popular for a reason, and once you've had your first bite, you'll understand why. ☕🥐

This exceptionally unique hotel took my wife and me completely by surprise. The first thing that grabs your attention is undoubtedly the stunning design and architecture of the Yacht Hotel.

The exceptional restaurant is incredibly accommodating, and the lovely views over the water add to the experience. The Sun Deck Bar is outstanding, with really good prices to match. We absolutely loved our room, which gave the sensation of being on a very exclusive cruise. We’ll definitely be back and are excited about the rumored changes that might be coming to the Sunborn.

How can you come to the UK without seeing a show? Highly recommended DAY 5|Museums & Shopping to Finish Natural History Museum → V&A → Westminster Abbey → Shopping at Harrods / Selfridges 🛍️.

In autumn, Guilin boasts clear skies, refreshing air, and pleasant weather. The city’s attractions are concentrated, requiring no long-distance travel, making it easy to explore on foot—perfect for traveling with kids. This time, we stayed at the Lijiang Boyin Hotel (Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Xiangshan Scenic Area branch). Thanks to its excellent location and high-quality service, it ranks as the top scenic hotel in Guilin, offering a perfect stay experience. The hotel is located by the lake with a unique geographical advantage, just a 2-minute walk to the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The mountain and lake view room we booked offers an excellent view. Opening the window, the autumn lake and mountain scenery perfectly frame the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The sky is clear, the lake is blue, and the leaves are turning golden, creating a picturesque scene. At 7 p.m., the Sun and Moon Twin Towers light up, shining brilliantly against the autumn night sky. Watching this stunning view with the kids by the window is especially romantic. Nearby attractions are convenient to visit. A 10-minute walk takes you to Xiangshan Scenic Area, where you can take a boat ride on the Lijiang River, enjoying the autumn landscape along both banks. Although Xiangshan itself is not particularly spectacular, the boat experience delights the children. An 8-minute walk leads to Xiangyang Road Pedestrian Street, a food paradise with numerous souvenir shops. With the kids, you can start a food tour, tasting special treats like sweet osmanthus cake, delicious rice noodles, and flavorful meat skewers, making the kids happily full and unable to stop eating.

At the end of Dongxi Alley is the 5A scenic spot Jingjiang Princes’ Palace. A few more minutes’ walk brings you to Xiaoyao Tower, where you can overlook the autumn panorama of Guilin city from the top, with colorful forests and breathtaking views.

The route is gentle and walkable, suitable for children. It allows you to enjoy both natural and cultural beauty while tasting local delicacies, making for a fulfilling and pleasant experience. At night, returning to the hotel, the Sun and Moon Twin Towers are already lit. The Sun and Moon Bay Pier below the hotel has few visitors, making it an excellent spot for night views. Strolling by the lake with the kids, feeling the autumn evening breeze, and admiring the dazzling twin towers at night, you can experience Guilin’s tranquility and beauty. The family time is warm and unforgettable. Accommodation tips: Nearby are well-known hotels such as Guilin Shangri-La Hotel and Guilin Lijiang Waterfall Hotel.

🌸 One of London’s Most Underrated Afternoon Tea Spots If you’re looking for a truly magical afternoon tea in London, this seasonal experience at Roast Restaurant inside Borough Market’s Floral Hall deserves a spot on your list. For a limited time, the restaurant has been transformed into a breathtaking floral garden, with cascading wisteria, colourful flowers and giant butterflies covering almost every corner. It honestly feels like stepping into a fairytale. I tried their Butterfly in the Meadow Afternoon Tea, starting from £59 per person, and I was genuinely impressed not just by the decorations, but by the food too. Our afternoon tea included: 🥪 Pulled pork brioche roll 🐟 Smoked salmon & cream cheese sandwich 🥩 Roast beef & horseradish sandwich 🥚 Roast signature Scotch egg 🥐 Signature sausage roll 🥩 Braised beef croquette 🌹 Roast rose signature dessert 🥥 Coconut & passionfruit cheesecake 🍯 London honey délice 🍓 Freshly baked scones served with jam & clotted cream We also ordered one of their beautiful butterfly-inspired drinks, which matched the whole floral theme perfectly. 📍 Roast Restaurant Floral Hall, Borough Market, London 🚇 Nearest station: London Bridge (2-minute walk) 💡 Travel Tip: Try to book a window table a few weeks in advance, especially on weekends. After afternoon tea, spend some time exploring Borough Market or take a walk along the Thames towards Tower Bridge, it’s one of my favourite routes in London. Have you tried this seasonal afternoon tea yet? 🌸🦋 #london #afternoontea #roastrestaurant #boroughmarket #hiddenlondon #londonfood #visitlondon #foodie #luxurytravel #travelguide #uktravel #bucketlist #londonlife #travelinspiration #tripcom

In autumn, Wuyi Mountain boasts clear skies and crisp air, with forests dyed in layers of color, adding charm to the mountain and water scenery. Bringing your children here for a vacation, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice. As the top hotel in the hearts of tour guides, its unique Song Dynasty aesthetics, high-quality service, and excellent environment bring full surprises and comfort to family trips. The hotel centers on Song Dynasty architectural aesthetics, with an overall elegant and rustic style. The autumn garden is especially beautiful, with golden leaves complementing the antique buildings, creating a picturesque scene as if stepping into a Song Dynasty painting. In the early morning, opening the balcony door reveals the mist-shrouded Dawang Peak faintly visible in the autumn morning light. Brewing a cup of rich Dahongpao tea with your children, you can feel the blend of tea fragrance and autumn atmosphere, starting a leisurely day. The distinctive bamboo raft afternoon tea is an excellent choice for parent-child interaction. Drifting on a bamboo raft over the calm water, admiring the autumn-colored forests on both banks, with a gentle breeze and peaceful time, creates warm family memories. In the evening, take a stroll along Chongyang Creek. The autumn evening breeze is gentle and comfortable, the creek flows softly, children pick up pebbles by the water, enjoying the fun of nature, while adults appreciate the mountain and water scenery under the sunset glow, washing away fatigue. Even without visiting scenic spots, staying at the hotel for two days allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of Wuyi Mountain, letting family time slow down. During the off-season, the hotel offers excellent value for money. The garden is very quiet, and except for breakfast time, you hardly see other guests. Wandering with your children, you can enjoy this tranquility and beauty exclusively. The hotel’s electric cart service is efficient and thoughtful, arriving within two minutes after ringing the bell, so traveling with children is hassle-free. The drivers are warm and attentive, patiently introducing the hotel’s architectural history and Wuyi Mountain travel tips to the children, helping the whole family quickly integrate into the environment and gain a lot. The hotel’s leisure facilities are comprehensive. The lakeside spa allows adults to relax body and mind, the gym meets exercise needs, and the pool is a joyful place for children. The autumn water temperature is suitable, letting children play freely in the pool and enjoy happy times. The hotel lobby offers free Song Dynasty costume rentals. Wearing exquisite Song-style clothes with your children, you can take photos and check in at the courtyard, experiencing the charm of Song culture and capturing unique family moments. Each room includes three complimentary travel photo services. Professional photography captures warm interactions between parents and children. However, if you want some quiet time alone, brewing tea in the room and quietly enjoying the autumn mountain view is also a rare pleasure. The breakfast variety is rich and delicious, featuring all kinds of Wuyi specialties with balanced nutrition to satisfy the whole family’s tastes. The sweet, soft, and juicy guava is especially loved by children. Many guests get up early to taste this delicacy, making it a major highlight of the hotel. A minor drawback is that the bedroom space in the Shanjing room type is relatively small, contrasting with the spacious bathroom, making the space allocation somewhat unreasonable, but it does not affect the overall living experience. In summary, Wuyi Chunbo Hotel is a treasure choice for family trips to Wuyi Mountain. Whether it’s the Song-style aesthetic atmosphere, high-quality service, or rich family facilities, it allows the whole family to spend an unforgettable autumn vacation. Highly recommended!

During this trip to Xingyi, Guizhou, I specifically chose to stay at Fengxi Cave Homestay to experience a luxurious getaway that blends seamlessly with nature. Known as the 'paradise under the Ten Thousand Peaks Forest,' Xingyi, combined with the unique cave design of this homestay, is irresistibly appealing—perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and completely relax. The hotel is located in Group 2, Changchong Village, Zherong Town, hidden within a natural cave atop a mountain. Opening the door reveals breathtaking views of Wanfeng Lake and the layered mountain ranges. The most unforgettable moment is in the early morning when swallows return to their nests outside the window, filling the valley with vitality. It feels deeply connected to nature, and even breathing feels fresher. The air here is excellent, and at night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and birds, making it ideal for travelers wanting to shed their burdens and forget urban stress. The rooms are designed with high-end comfort in mind, with some featuring smart home systems. The interiors are clean and elegant, with thoughtful attention to detail. Upon check-in, the hotel staff proactively assist with luggage and provide attentive service, quickly responding to any needs. Their complimentary afternoon tea and exquisite breakfast are particularly recommended. The restaurant uses local ingredients, and every meal is satisfying and heartfelt. The hotel's surroundings are very tranquil, creating a relaxed atmosphere suitable for couples, families, or solo travelers. There are many nearby attractions worth visiting. Besides Wanfeng Lake, I recommend exploring the hiking trails of Wanfeng Forest, which offer stunning scenery along the way and small villages to leisurely stroll through. If you're driving, transportation is more convenient as the homestay provides parking. For public transport, you can first reach Xingyi City, then hire a car or take a minibus to the homestay. Travel Tips: It's recommended to check in early to enjoy afternoon tea while admiring the lake view in the restaurant, immersing yourself in the most leisurely vacation vibe. In the morning, don't miss watching the swallows return to their nests—it's undoubtedly the most enchanting moment of the day. Booking Tips: These types of cave homestays are limited in number and tend to be fully booked during peak seasons or holidays. It's advisable to book at least two weeks in advance. Choose your room type based on whether you prefer smart home features or lake-view windows. For those who love taking photos, opt for a room with panoramic windows. City Travel Notes: Xingyi has significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so bring a jacket. The mountainous area has many mosquitoes, so remember to bring insect repellent. Xingyi is ideal for slow travel, so consider staying longer at the homestay to fully enjoy the luxurious and natural vacation experience.
