If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy.

In secret realms far from the hustle and bustle of the world, those "real-life immortal worlds" certified by National Geographic quietly await travelers who truly understand them, with mist as their veil and strange peaks as their bones. These hidden places not only boast stunning natural wonders but also harbor cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. This guide takes you beyond Wangxian Valley to five immortal secret realms, offering an immersive cultivation journey with fewer people and beautiful scenery. 1. Enshi Grand Canyon: An Immortal Epic of Karst Landforms Highlights: As one of National Geographic’s "Most Beautiful Places in China," Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its rare global "fissure-sinkhole-rock pillar" composite karst landforms. Yunlong Fissure is called "the most beautiful scar on Earth," with rock layers on both sides recording hundreds of millions of years of geological changes; the "Incense Stick" stone pillar in Qixingzhai Scenic Area stands 150 meters tall, resembling a magical artifact left by immortals in the mist. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Off-peak visits: Enter at 7:30 AM on a weekday, start with Yunlong Fissure to avoid tour group peaks. 2. Reverse route: Take the cable car from the north gate up the mountain, then walk backward along the cliffside plank road to enjoy the sea of clouds rolling over White Crane Peak alone. 3.

The twin peaks of the Golden Summit face each other, and in the morning mist, it looks like a Daoist arena where immortals fly on swords. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Choose the East Gate: Fewer tourists than the West Gate, and you can take a cable car through the primeval forest, occasionally spotting Guizhou golden monkeys. 2. Early arrival: Book the first cable car at 7:00 AM to enjoy the breathtaking view of the sea of clouds and sunrise alone at the summit. 3.

Shenxianju: An Immortal Dream on the Cliffside Plank Road Highlights: Known for "sea of clouds, strange peaks, and steep cliffs," Shenxianju’s S-shaped Ruyi Bridge is hailed as "China’s most beautiful bridge," and when shrouded in mist, it looks like a heavenly palace. The scenic area has a high negative ion concentration of 88,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a natural "lung cleansing sanctuary." Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Enter from the North Gate: Fewer tourists than the South Gate, and you can take a cable car directly to Beihai Scenic Area, avoiding the hiking trail crowds. 2. Off-peak photography: Arrive at Ruyi Bridge before 7:30 AM when the mist still lingers, making portrait shots look like you’re in the clouds. 3. Deep hiking: Hike from the Beihai cable car upper station to Nantian Peak, passing lesser-known spots like "Flying Waterfall" and "Lovers’ Forest," with almost no other visitors.

Qiyun Mountain: A Taoist Secret Realm in Danxia Landforms Highlights: Qiyun Mountain is famous for its "Danxia red cliffs and Taoist culture." The "Heavenly Street" buildings on Yuehua Street hang on cliff walls, looking like a fairyland in the mist. The "True Immortal Cave" cliff inscriptions record Taoist culture from the Tang and Song dynasties. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Travel on weekdays: Most visitors come on weekends; on weekdays, you can almost enjoy the tranquility of the "Cloud Heavenly Street" alone. 2. Hiking route: Hike from Dengfeng Bridge (about 2 hours), passing secret spots like "Longevity Rock" and "Elephant Trunk Rock," with almost no other tourists. 3.

Zhaoxing Dong Village: A Dong Ethnic Peach Blossom Land on the Edge of Time Highlights: Zhaoxing Dong Village is rated by National Geographic as one of the "33 Most Enticing Travel Destinations Worldwide." The five drum tower clusters appear faintly in the morning mist, like magical castles from a fairy tale. The heavenly sound of Dong grand songs echoes between the Wind and Rain Bridges, making visitors forget worldly troubles. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Early morning and evening: Arrive at the viewing platform before 6:00 AM when the terraced fields are still asleep, with almost no other tourists for panoramic shots; return after 6:00 PM to enjoy the dazzling night view of thousands of lights. 2. Deep experience: Join a "Dong indigo dyeing" workshop to make a unique Dong cloth scarf under the guidance of a master, avoiding the main street crowds. 3.

Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Dong lodging: Zhaoxing Dong Village Tianzhiyi Resort Hotel’s stilt house rooms have wooden bathtubs; at night, listen to Dong pipa songs on the terrace and feel the blend of "poetry and distant places." - Sour soup cuisine: The "Dong Sour Soup Fish" restaurant on the main street serves rice field fish hotpot with litsea cubeba oil and local chili, sour and spicy to whet the appetite, all for about 40 yuan per person. Travel Tips 1. Transportation planning: These secret realms are mostly in mountainous areas; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexible itineraries. For example, Enshi Grand Canyon, Fanjing Mountain, and Shenxianju can be connected via the "Hunan-Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou" self-driving loop, about 1,200 kilometers and 5-7 days. 2. Gear suggestions: Bring waterproof hiking shoes, lightweight raincoat, thermos (due to large temperature differences in mountains), and telephoto lens (for shooting distant strange peaks and rocks). 3. Cultural respect: When visiting ethnic minority areas, respect local customs, such as not touching the beams and pillars of drum towers in Dong villages to avoid disturbing villagers’ daily lives. 4. Off-peak travel: Avoid public holidays and weekends; choose weekdays to not only avoid crowds but also enjoy better accommodation prices. These immortal secret realms privately treasured by National Geographic not only have breathtaking natural landscapes but also cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. By mastering the tips to avoid crowds, you can experience the true charm of the "immortal world" in these secret places and create unforgettable travel memories.

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Opening the book of Central Asia, I arrived in Uzbekistan, with its blue mosaic buildings, at the moment when the lights first come on, the world of One Thousand and One Nights shines into reality. On my second visit to Uzbekistan, I still love these places— the ancient cities, the architecture, the people, and even the slightly greasy plov, as well as the spiritual nourishment this Silk Road country has given us. The blue classics of Samarkand, I linger repeatedly, weaving through the buildings, touching, spinning, savoring, lost in this blue world, the lights are the switch that illuminates the fairy tale world, opening up a unique charm. Lonely Planet made this ancient city famous, the charming four-columned buildings have become the symbol of Bukhara. Bukhara is not only rich in history, but also has many markets for treasure hunting, and it is also the hometown of Afanti. The ancient city of Khiva in Khwarezm recreates the look of a Silk Road commercial hub. Walking among the ancient historic buildings, it feels like traveling through time, on a treasure hunt journey with the merchants of the steppes. Tashkent blends modernity and history, with many new places to explore, the lively atmosphere of the domed markets, the Soviet-style metro stations, and the grandeur of Uzbek hotels are all must-visit spots in the capital.

Just finished a 5-day food and shopping trip in Shanghai, and now seeing the night view of the Bund and the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road still makes my heart flutter — In September-October, Shanghai bids farewell to the summer heat, with a pleasant breeze in the mornings and evenings. The scent of osmanthus fills the streets, making even a stroll along the road a delight! As a first-time deep traveler and “citywalk” enthusiast in Shanghai, this guide compiles all the hidden gems and must-try experiences, so you won’t go wrong following it~ Let’s start with the must-visit citywalk route, which covers Shanghai’s most romantic spots: Wukang Road → Anfu Road → Yuyuan Road → Jing’an Temple → West Nanjing Road → The Bund. In September-October, the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road just start to turn yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the old Western-style houses, making every photo look like a French film scene 📸; Anfu Road is full of niche cafes and creative shops—pick one, sit by the window, sip coffee, and watch passersby, so cozy you won’t want to leave; at night, the Bund is a must-visit, with the lights of Lujiazui shining across the river and a refreshing breeze from the river. You can also take the ferry (2 RMB per person) across the Huangpu River, which is much cheaper than a cruise. Recommended spots & must-try activities: ① Shanghai Disneyland, less crowded in September-October than summer, so shorter lines. Recommended rides: “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” and “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.” The nighttime fireworks show is super romantic. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official app, about 435 RMB per person; ② Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden with a traditional atmosphere. There might be Mid-Autumn or National Day themed events in September-October. After touring the garden, try the Nanxiang soup dumplings. Admission is 40 RMB, and 2-3 hours is just right; ③ Lujiazui, climb the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower for panoramic views of Shanghai. It’s best to go at dusk to see the transition from day to night. Tickets: Oriental Pearl Tower 199 RMB, Shanghai Tower “Shanghai Top” 180 RMB; ④ Tianzifang, an artsy neighborhood hidden in old alleys, full of handicraft shops and food stalls. When tired, have a bowl of crab roe soup dumplings—super satisfying. Free entry. Transportation & independent travel tips: Shanghai’s transport is very convenient, with the subway reaching most attractions. It’s recommended to download the “Metro Metropolis” app to scan QR codes for entry. Subway fares range from 3 to 10 RMB; for exploring small city streets, shared bikes are perfect, costing 1.5 RMB per 30 minutes, and you can park right in front of your favorite shops; to get to Disneyland, take Line 11 directly, about 1 hour from downtown. Go early in the morning to enjoy more rides. Food recommendations are a must! ① Crab roe soup dumplings, thin skin and full filling, bursting with juice in every bite. Recommended: “Nanxiang Mantou Dian” (Yuyuan branch), about 50 RMB per person, eat while hot; ② Shengjian buns, crispy outside with fresh meat inside.

Accommodation suggestions by scenario! ① For convenience in the city center, stay near East Nanjing Road. The hotel I stayed at was a 10-minute walk to the Bund, and you can stroll the Nanjing Road night market in the evening, about 300 RMB per night per person; ② For an artsy vibe, stay near Wukang Road. The guesthouses have old Western-style architecture, and many niche shops are within walking distance, about 250 RMB per night per person; ③ For cost-effectiveness, stay near Metro Line 2, which connects to Hongqiao and Pudong airports. Chain hotels cost about 200 RMB per night per person, with very convenient transport. Avoidance tips & practical advice: ① Book Disneyland’s fast pass in advance on the app, don’t buy from scalpers to avoid scams; ② Souvenirs at Yuyuan and Tianzifang are a bit pricey, remember to bargain; ③ It may rain occasionally in Shanghai in September-October, bring an umbrella; ④ Don’t buy specialties at tourist spots, supermarkets in the city are cheaper. Recommended gifts: White Rabbit candy, pear syrup candy, and Xinghualou mooncakes; ⑤ Avoid visiting the Bund on holidays due to crowds, evenings on regular days are more comfortable. Finally, photo-worthy spots: Wukang Road’s Wukang Mansion, side shots have a strong French vibe; The Bund’s Peace Hotel, with its vintage architecture, makes for textured photos; Disneyland’s castle, especially at night with fireworks, is super romantic; Yuyuan Road’s old Western-style houses, with greenery and doorplates at the entrance, are perfect for artsy photos. September-October in Shanghai is romantic and comfortable, truly perfect for a trip—you’ll definitely fall in love~

If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy. Please like, share, and follow for more updates!

In secret realms far from the hustle and bustle of the world, those "real-life immortal worlds" certified by National Geographic quietly await travelers who truly understand them, with mist as their veil and strange peaks as their bones. These hidden places not only boast stunning natural wonders but also harbor cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. This guide takes you beyond Wangxian Valley to five immortal secret realms, offering an immersive cultivation journey with fewer people and beautiful scenery. 1. Enshi Grand Canyon: An Immortal Epic of Karst Landforms Highlights: As one of National Geographic’s "Most Beautiful Places in China," Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its rare global "fissure-sinkhole-rock pillar" composite karst landforms.

Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Off-peak visits: Enter at 7:30 AM on a weekday, start with Yunlong Fissure to avoid tour group peaks. 2.

The twin peaks of the Golden Summit face each other, and in the morning mist, it looks like a Daoist arena where immortals fly on swords. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Choose the East Gate: Fewer tourists than the West Gate, and you can take a cable car through the primeval forest, occasionally spotting Guizhou golden monkeys. 2.

The scenic area has a high negative ion concentration of 88,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a natural "lung cleansing sanctuary." Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Enter from the North Gate: Fewer tourists than the South Gate, and you can take a cable car directly to Beihai Scenic Area, avoiding the hiking trail crowds. 2. Off-peak photography: Arrive at Ruyi Bridge before 7:30 AM when the mist still lingers, making portrait shots look like you’re in the clouds. 3.

Qiyun Mountain: A Taoist Secret Realm in Danxia Landforms Highlights: Qiyun Mountain is famous for its "Danxia red cliffs and Taoist culture." The "Heavenly Street" buildings on Yuehua Street hang on cliff walls, looking like a fairyland in the mist.

Zhaoxing Dong Village: A Dong Ethnic Peach Blossom Land on the Edge of Time Highlights: Zhaoxing Dong Village is rated by National Geographic as one of the "33 Most Enticing Travel Destinations Worldwide." The five drum tower clusters appear faintly in the morning mist, like magical castles from a fairy tale. The heavenly sound of Dong grand songs echoes between the Wind and Rain Bridges, making visitors forget worldly troubles. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Early morning and evening: Arrive at the viewing platform before 6:00 AM when the terraced fields are still asleep, with almost no other tourists for panoramic shots; return after 6:00 PM to enjoy the dazzling night view of thousands of lights. 2.

Travel Tips 1. Transportation planning: These secret realms are mostly in mountainous areas; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexible itineraries. For example, Enshi Grand Canyon, Fanjing Mountain, and Shenxianju can be connected via the "Hunan-Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou" self-driving loop, about 1,200 kilometers and 5-7 days. 2. Gear suggestions: Bring waterproof hiking shoes, lightweight raincoat, thermos (due to large temperature differences in mountains), and telephoto lens (for shooting distant strange peaks and rocks). 3. Cultural respect: When visiting ethnic minority areas, respect local customs, such as not touching the beams and pillars of drum towers in Dong villages to avoid disturbing villagers’ daily lives. 4.

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Opening the book of Central Asia, I arrived in Uzbekistan, with its blue mosaic buildings, at the moment when the lights first come on, the world of One Thousand and One Nights shines into reality. On my second visit to Uzbekistan, I still love these places— the ancient cities, the architecture, the people, and even the slightly greasy plov, as well as the spiritual nourishment this Silk Road country has given us. The blue classics of Samarkand, I linger repeatedly, weaving through the buildings, touching, spinning, savoring, lost in this blue world, the lights are the switch that illuminates the fairy tale world, opening up a unique charm. Lonely Planet made this ancient city famous, the charming four-columned buildings have become the symbol of Bukhara. Bukhara is not only rich in history, but also has many markets for treasure hunting, and it is also the hometown of Afanti. The ancient city of Khiva in Khwarezm recreates the look of a Silk Road commercial hub. Walking among the ancient historic buildings, it feels like traveling through time, on a treasure hunt journey with the merchants of the steppes. Tashkent blends modernity and history, with many new places to explore, the lively atmosphere of the domed markets, the Soviet-style metro stations, and the grandeur of Uzbek hotels are all must-visit spots in the capital.

Just finished a 5-day food and shopping trip in Shanghai, and now seeing the night view of the Bund and the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road still makes my heart flutter — In September-October, Shanghai bids farewell to the summer heat, with a pleasant breeze in the mornings and evenings. The scent of osmanthus fills the streets, making even a stroll along the road a delight! As a first-time deep traveler and “citywalk” enthusiast in Shanghai, this guide compiles all the hidden gems and must-try experiences, so you won’t go wrong following it~ Let’s start with the must-visit citywalk route, which covers Shanghai’s most romantic spots: Wukang Road → Anfu Road → Yuyuan Road → Jing’an Temple → West Nanjing Road → The Bund. In September-October, the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road just start to turn yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the old Western-style houses, making every photo look like a French film scene 📸; Anfu Road is full of niche cafes and creative shops—pick one, sit by the window, sip coffee, and watch passersby, so cozy you won’t want to leave; at night, the Bund is a must-visit, with the lights of Lujiazui shining across the river and a refreshing breeze from the river. You can also take the ferry (2 RMB per person) across the Huangpu River, which is much cheaper than a cruise. Recommended spots & must-try activities: ① Shanghai Disneyland, less crowded in September-October than summer, so shorter lines. Recommended rides: “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” and “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.” The nighttime fireworks show is super romantic. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official app, about 435 RMB per person; ② Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden with a traditional atmosphere. There might be Mid-Autumn or National Day themed events in September-October. After touring the garden, try the Nanxiang soup dumplings. Admission is 40 RMB, and 2-3 hours is just right; ③ Lujiazui, climb the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower for panoramic views of Shanghai. It’s best to go at dusk to see the transition from day to night. Tickets: Oriental Pearl Tower 199 RMB, Shanghai Tower “Shanghai Top” 180 RMB; ④ Tianzifang, an artsy neighborhood hidden in old alleys, full of handicraft shops and food stalls. When tired, have a bowl of crab roe soup dumplings—super satisfying. Free entry. Transportation & independent travel tips: Shanghai’s transport is very convenient, with the subway reaching most attractions. It’s recommended to download the “Metro Metropolis” app to scan QR codes for entry. Subway fares range from 3 to 10 RMB; for exploring small city streets, shared bikes are perfect, costing 1.5 RMB per 30 minutes, and you can park right in front of your favorite shops; to get to Disneyland, take Line 11 directly, about 1 hour from downtown. Go early in the morning to enjoy more rides. Food recommendations are a must! ① Crab roe soup dumplings, thin skin and full filling, bursting with juice in every bite. Recommended: “Nanxiang Mantou Dian” (Yuyuan branch), about 50 RMB per person, eat while hot; ② Shengjian buns, crispy outside with fresh meat inside. Recommended: “Xiaoyang Shengjian,” about 20 RMB per person, perfect with a bowl of beef soup; ③ Local Shanghai cuisine, braised pork belly is rich but not greasy, sweet and sour ribs are tasty. Recommended: “Lvbolang” or “Lao Jishi Restaurant,” about 100 RMB per person, great for groups; ④ Cifan Tuan (sticky rice roll), a Shanghai breakfast specialty with glutinous rice wrapped around fried dough and pickled vegetables, 10 RMB each, available at street breakfast stalls; ⑤ Osmanthus sweet porridge, a seasonal snack in September-October, sweet with a fragrant osmanthus aroma, 15 RMB per bowl, available in Tianzifang. Accommodation suggestions by scenario! ① For convenience in the city center, stay near East Nanjing Road. The hotel I stayed at was a 10-minute walk to the Bund, and you can stroll the Nanjing Road night market in the evening, about 300 RMB per night per person; ② For an artsy vibe, stay near Wukang Road. The guesthouses have old Western-style architecture, and many niche shops are within walking distance, about 250 RMB per night per person; ③ For cost-effectiveness, stay near Metro Line 2, which connects to Hongqiao and Pudong airports. Chain hotels cost about 200 RMB per night per person, with very convenient transport. Avoidance tips & practical advice: ① Book Disneyland’s fast pass in advance on the app, don’t buy from scalpers to avoid scams; ② Souvenirs at Yuyuan and Tianzifang are a bit pricey, remember to bargain; ③ It may rain occasionally in Shanghai in September-October, bring an umbrella; ④ Don’t buy specialties at tourist spots, supermarkets in the city are cheaper. Recommended gifts: White Rabbit candy, pear syrup candy, and Xinghualou mooncakes; ⑤ Avoid visiting the Bund on holidays due to crowds, evenings on regular days are more comfortable. Finally, photo-worthy spots: Wukang Road’s Wukang Mansion, side shots have a strong French vibe; The Bund’s Peace Hotel, with its vintage architecture, makes for textured photos; Disneyland’s castle, especially at night with fireworks, is super romantic; Yuyuan Road’s old Western-style houses, with greenery and doorplates at the entrance, are perfect for artsy photos. September-October in Shanghai is romantic and comfortable, truly perfect for a trip—you’ll definitely fall in love~

If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy. Please like, share, and follow for more updates!

Yunlong Fissure is called "the most beautiful scar on Earth," with rock layers on both sides recording hundreds of millions of years of geological changes; the "Incense Stick" stone pillar in Qixingzhai Scenic Area stands 150 meters tall, resembling a magical artifact left by immortals in the mist. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Off-peak visits: Enter at 7:30 AM on a weekday, start with Yunlong Fissure to avoid tour group peaks. 2. Reverse route: Take the cable car from the north gate up the mountain, then walk backward along the cliffside plank road to enjoy the sea of clouds rolling over White Crane Peak alone. 3. Deep exploration: Hike the undeveloped Qingjiang ancient riverbed, encounter waterfalls and caves in the primeval forest, and experience the surprise of "accidentally entering Peach Blossom Land." Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Cliffside lodging: The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows of Zhanshan Yunju Resort Hotel face the canyon; in the morning, the sea of clouds flows past the window, as if in a heavenly palace. - Tujia cuisine: Try Zhangguan Hezha’s bean dregs hotpot with cured meat, sour and spicy to whet the appetite; at Daughter City Night Market, the crispy yet tender Youxiang’er costs only 5 yuan for authentic flavor. 2. Fanjing Mountain: A Buddhist Holy Land in the Sea of Clouds and Buddha Light Highlights: A World Natural Heritage site, Fanjing Mountain is famous for geological wonders like "mushroom stones" and the "Red Cloud Golden Summit," and is praised by National Geographic as the top "lesser-known mountain" in China. The twin peaks of the Golden Summit face each other, and in the morning mist, it looks like a Daoist arena where immortals fly on swords. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Choose the East Gate: Fewer tourists than the West Gate, and you can take a cable car through the primeval forest, occasionally spotting Guizhou golden monkeys. 2. Early arrival: Book the first cable car at 7:00 AM to enjoy the breathtaking view of the sea of clouds and sunrise alone at the summit. 3.

Shenxianju: An Immortal Dream on the Cliffside Plank Road Highlights: Known for "sea of clouds, strange peaks, and steep cliffs," Shenxianju’s S-shaped Ruyi Bridge is hailed as "China’s most beautiful bridge," and when shrouded in mist, it looks like a heavenly palace. The scenic area has a high negative ion concentration of 88,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a natural "lung cleansing sanctuary." Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Enter from the North Gate: Fewer tourists than the South Gate, and you can take a cable car directly to Beihai Scenic Area, avoiding the hiking trail crowds. 2. Off-peak photography: Arrive at Ruyi Bridge before 7:30 AM when the mist still lingers, making portrait shots look like you’re in the clouds. 3. Deep hiking: Hike from the Beihai cable car upper station to Nantian Peak, passing lesser-known spots like "Flying Waterfall" and "Lovers’ Forest," with almost no other visitors.

Qiyun Mountain: A Taoist Secret Realm in Danxia Landforms Highlights: Qiyun Mountain is famous for its "Danxia red cliffs and Taoist culture." The "Heavenly Street" buildings on Yuehua Street hang on cliff walls, looking like a fairyland in the mist. The "True Immortal Cave" cliff inscriptions record Taoist culture from the Tang and Song dynasties. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Travel on weekdays: Most visitors come on weekends; on weekdays, you can almost enjoy the tranquility of the "Cloud Heavenly Street" alone. 2. Hiking route: Hike from Dengfeng Bridge (about 2 hours), passing secret spots like "Longevity Rock" and "Elephant Trunk Rock," with almost no other tourists. 3. Night visits: The scenic area is open until 9:00 PM; the lights on Yuehua Street at night are dazzling, perfect for photos combining starry skies and ancient architecture.

Zhaoxing Dong Village: A Dong Ethnic Peach Blossom Land on the Edge of Time Highlights: Zhaoxing Dong Village is rated by National Geographic as one of the "33 Most Enticing Travel Destinations Worldwide." The five drum tower clusters appear faintly in the morning mist, like magical castles from a fairy tale. The heavenly sound of Dong grand songs echoes between the Wind and Rain Bridges, making visitors forget worldly troubles. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Early morning and evening: Arrive at the viewing platform before 6:00 AM when the terraced fields are still asleep, with almost no other tourists for panoramic shots; return after 6:00 PM to enjoy the dazzling night view of thousands of lights. 2. Deep experience: Join a "Dong indigo dyeing" workshop to make a unique Dong cloth scarf under the guidance of a master, avoiding the main street crowds. 3.

Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Dong lodging: Zhaoxing Dong Village Tianzhiyi Resort Hotel’s stilt house rooms have wooden bathtubs; at night, listen to Dong pipa songs on the terrace and feel the blend of "poetry and distant places." - Sour soup cuisine: The "Dong Sour Soup Fish" restaurant on the main street serves rice field fish hotpot with litsea cubeba oil and local chili, sour and spicy to whet the appetite, all for about 40 yuan per person. Travel Tips 1. Transportation planning: These secret realms are mostly in mountainous areas; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexible itineraries. For example, Enshi Grand Canyon, Fanjing Mountain, and Shenxianju can be connected via the "Hunan-Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou" self-driving loop, about 1,200 kilometers and 5-7 days. 2. Gear suggestions: Bring waterproof hiking shoes, lightweight raincoat, thermos (due to large temperature differences in mountains), and telephoto lens (for shooting distant strange peaks and rocks). 3. Cultural respect: When visiting ethnic minority areas, respect local customs, such as not touching the beams and pillars of drum towers in Dong villages to avoid disturbing villagers’ daily lives. 4. Off-peak travel: Avoid public holidays and weekends; choose weekdays to not only avoid crowds but also enjoy better accommodation prices. These immortal secret realms privately treasured by National Geographic not only have breathtaking natural landscapes but also cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. By mastering the tips to avoid crowds, you can experience the true charm of the "immortal world" in these secret places and create unforgettable travel memories.

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Opening the book of Central Asia, I arrived in Uzbekistan, with its blue mosaic buildings, at the moment when the lights first come on, the world of One Thousand and One Nights shines into reality. On my second visit to Uzbekistan, I still love these places— the ancient cities, the architecture, the people, and even the slightly greasy plov, as well as the spiritual nourishment this Silk Road country has given us. The blue classics of Samarkand, I linger repeatedly, weaving through the buildings, touching, spinning, savoring, lost in this blue world, the lights are the switch that illuminates the fairy tale world, opening up a unique charm. Lonely Planet made this ancient city famous, the charming four-columned buildings have become the symbol of Bukhara. Bukhara is not only rich in history, but also has many markets for treasure hunting, and it is also the hometown of Afanti. The ancient city of Khiva in Khwarezm recreates the look of a Silk Road commercial hub. Walking among the ancient historic buildings, it feels like traveling through time, on a treasure hunt journey with the merchants of the steppes. Tashkent blends modernity and history, with many new places to explore, the lively atmosphere of the domed markets, the Soviet-style metro stations, and the grandeur of Uzbek hotels are all must-visit spots in the capital.

Just finished a 5-day food and shopping trip in Shanghai, and now seeing the night view of the Bund and the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road still makes my heart flutter — In September-October, Shanghai bids farewell to the summer heat, with a pleasant breeze in the mornings and evenings. The scent of osmanthus fills the streets, making even a stroll along the road a delight! As a first-time deep traveler and “citywalk” enthusiast in Shanghai, this guide compiles all the hidden gems and must-try experiences, so you won’t go wrong following it~ Let’s start with the must-visit citywalk route, which covers Shanghai’s most romantic spots: Wukang Road → Anfu Road → Yuyuan Road → Jing’an Temple → West Nanjing Road → The Bund. In September-October, the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road just start to turn yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the old Western-style houses, making every photo look like a French film scene 📸; Anfu Road is full of niche cafes and creative shops—pick one, sit by the window, sip coffee, and watch passersby, so cozy you won’t want to leave; at night, the Bund is a must-visit, with the lights of Lujiazui shining across the river and a refreshing breeze from the river. You can also take the ferry (2 RMB per person) across the Huangpu River, which is much cheaper than a cruise. Recommended spots & must-try activities: ① Shanghai Disneyland, less crowded in September-October than summer, so shorter lines. Recommended rides: “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” and “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.” The nighttime fireworks show is super romantic. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official app, about 435 RMB per person; ② Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden with a traditional atmosphere. There might be Mid-Autumn or National Day themed events in September-October. After touring the garden, try the Nanxiang soup dumplings. Admission is 40 RMB, and 2-3 hours is just right; ③ Lujiazui, climb the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower for panoramic views of Shanghai. It’s best to go at dusk to see the transition from day to night. Tickets: Oriental Pearl Tower 199 RMB, Shanghai Tower “Shanghai Top” 180 RMB; ④ Tianzifang, an artsy neighborhood hidden in old alleys, full of handicraft shops and food stalls. When tired, have a bowl of crab roe soup dumplings—super satisfying. Free entry. Transportation & independent travel tips: Shanghai’s transport is very convenient, with the subway reaching most attractions. It’s recommended to download the “Metro Metropolis” app to scan QR codes for entry. Subway fares range from 3 to 10 RMB; for exploring small city streets, shared bikes are perfect, costing 1.5 RMB per 30 minutes, and you can park right in front of your favorite shops; to get to Disneyland, take Line 11 directly, about 1 hour from downtown. Go early in the morning to enjoy more rides. Food recommendations are a must! ① Crab roe soup dumplings, thin skin and full filling, bursting with juice in every bite. Recommended: “Nanxiang Mantou Dian” (Yuyuan branch), about 50 RMB per person, eat while hot; ② Shengjian buns, crispy outside with fresh meat inside. Recommended: “Xiaoyang Shengjian,” about 20 RMB per person, perfect with a bowl of beef soup; ③ Local Shanghai cuisine, braised pork belly is rich but not greasy, sweet and sour ribs are tasty. Recommended: “Lvbolang” or “Lao Jishi Restaurant,” about 100 RMB per person, great for groups; ④ Cifan Tuan (sticky rice roll), a Shanghai breakfast specialty with glutinous rice wrapped around fried dough and pickled vegetables, 10 RMB each, available at street breakfast stalls; ⑤ Osmanthus sweet porridge, a seasonal snack in September-October, sweet with a fragrant osmanthus aroma, 15 RMB per bowl, available in Tianzifang. Accommodation suggestions by scenario! ① For convenience in the city center, stay near East Nanjing Road. The hotel I stayed at was a 10-minute walk to the Bund, and you can stroll the Nanjing Road night market in the evening, about 300 RMB per night per person; ② For an artsy vibe, stay near Wukang Road. The guesthouses have old Western-style architecture, and many niche shops are within walking distance, about 250 RMB per night per person; ③ For cost-effectiveness, stay near Metro Line 2, which connects to Hongqiao and Pudong airports. Chain hotels cost about 200 RMB per night per person, with very convenient transport. Avoidance tips & practical advice: ① Book Disneyland’s fast pass in advance on the app, don’t buy from scalpers to avoid scams; ② Souvenirs at Yuyuan and Tianzifang are a bit pricey, remember to bargain; ③ It may rain occasionally in Shanghai in September-October, bring an umbrella; ④ Don’t buy specialties at tourist spots, supermarkets in the city are cheaper. Recommended gifts: White Rabbit candy, pear syrup candy, and Xinghualou mooncakes; ⑤ Avoid visiting the Bund on holidays due to crowds, evenings on regular days are more comfortable. Finally, photo-worthy spots: Wukang Road’s Wukang Mansion, side shots have a strong French vibe; The Bund’s Peace Hotel, with its vintage architecture, makes for textured photos; Disneyland’s castle, especially at night with fireworks, is super romantic; Yuyuan Road’s old Western-style houses, with greenery and doorplates at the entrance, are perfect for artsy photos. September-October in Shanghai is romantic and comfortable, truly perfect for a trip—you’ll definitely fall in love~

If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy. Please like, share, and follow for more updates!

In secret realms far from the hustle and bustle of the world, those "real-life immortal worlds" certified by National Geographic quietly await travelers who truly understand them, with mist as their veil and strange peaks as their bones. These hidden places not only boast stunning natural wonders but also harbor cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. This guide takes you beyond Wangxian Valley to five immortal secret realms, offering an immersive cultivation journey with fewer people and beautiful scenery. 1. Enshi Grand Canyon: An Immortal Epic of Karst Landforms Highlights: As one of National Geographic’s "Most Beautiful Places in China," Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its rare global "fissure-sinkhole-rock pillar" composite karst landforms. Yunlong Fissure is called "the most beautiful scar on Earth," with rock layers on both sides recording hundreds of millions of years of geological changes; the "Incense Stick" stone pillar in Qixingzhai Scenic Area stands 150 meters tall, resembling a magical artifact left by immortals in the mist. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Off-peak visits: Enter at 7:30 AM on a weekday, start with Yunlong Fissure to avoid tour group peaks. 2. Reverse route: Take the cable car from the north gate up the mountain, then walk backward along the cliffside plank road to enjoy the sea of clouds rolling over White Crane Peak alone. 3. Deep exploration: Hike the undeveloped Qingjiang ancient riverbed, encounter waterfalls and caves in the primeval forest, and experience the surprise of "accidentally entering Peach Blossom Land." Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Cliffside lodging: The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows of Zhanshan Yunju Resort Hotel face the canyon; in the morning, the sea of clouds flows past the window, as if in a heavenly palace. - Tujia cuisine: Try Zhangguan Hezha’s bean dregs hotpot with cured meat, sour and spicy to whet the appetite; at Daughter City Night Market, the crispy yet tender Youxiang’er costs only 5 yuan for authentic flavor. 2. Fanjing Mountain: A Buddhist Holy Land in the Sea of Clouds and Buddha Light Highlights: A World Natural Heritage site, Fanjing Mountain is famous for geological wonders like "mushroom stones" and the "Red Cloud Golden Summit," and is praised by National Geographic as the top "lesser-known mountain" in China. The twin peaks of the Golden Summit face each other, and in the morning mist, it looks like a Daoist arena where immortals fly on swords. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Choose the East Gate: Fewer tourists than the West Gate, and you can take a cable car through the primeval forest, occasionally spotting Guizhou golden monkeys. 2. Early arrival: Book the first cable car at 7:00 AM to enjoy the breathtaking view of the sea of clouds and sunrise alone at the summit. 3. Hiking route: Hike up from Yu’ao (about 4 hours), passing secret spots like "Ten Thousand Scrolls Cliff," with almost no other tourists.

Shenxianju: An Immortal Dream on the Cliffside Plank Road Highlights: Known for "sea of clouds, strange peaks, and steep cliffs," Shenxianju’s S-shaped Ruyi Bridge is hailed as "China’s most beautiful bridge," and when shrouded in mist, it looks like a heavenly palace. The scenic area has a high negative ion concentration of 88,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a natural "lung cleansing sanctuary." Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Enter from the North Gate: Fewer tourists than the South Gate, and you can take a cable car directly to Beihai Scenic Area, avoiding the hiking trail crowds. 2. Off-peak photography: Arrive at Ruyi Bridge before 7:30 AM when the mist still lingers, making portrait shots look like you’re in the clouds. 3. Deep hiking: Hike from the Beihai cable car upper station to Nantian Peak, passing lesser-known spots like "Flying Waterfall" and "Lovers’ Forest," with almost no other visitors. Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Immortal lodging: Xianju Yueliu Hotel’s creekside rooms offer bamboo views; at night, listen to insects by the stream and feel the poetic mood of "walking to the water’s end, sitting to watch the clouds rise." - Mountain delicacies: The "Eight Big Bowls" restaurant in Shenxianju Oxygen Bar Town serves farmhouse dishes like native chicken stew and dried bamboo shoots with cured meat, all for about 50 yuan per person. 4. Qiyun Mountain: A Taoist Secret Realm in Danxia Landforms Highlights: Qiyun Mountain is famous for its "Danxia red cliffs and Taoist culture." The "Heavenly Street" buildings on Yuehua Street hang on cliff walls, looking like a fairyland in the mist. The "True Immortal Cave" cliff inscriptions record Taoist culture from the Tang and Song dynasties. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Travel on weekdays: Most visitors come on weekends; on weekdays, you can almost enjoy the tranquility of the "Cloud Heavenly Street" alone. 2. Hiking route: Hike from Dengfeng Bridge (about 2 hours), passing secret spots like "Longevity Rock" and "Elephant Trunk Rock," with almost no other tourists. 3. Night visits: The scenic area is open until 9:00 PM; the lights on Yuehua Street at night are dazzling, perfect for photos combining starry skies and ancient architecture. Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Taoist lodging: Rooms at Qiyun Mountain Wangxianlou Inn are named after famous quotes from the Tao Te Ching; in the morning, join a Taoist master to learn Tai Chi and experience the "unity of heaven and man." - Health cuisine: The vegetarian noodle shop near Xuantian Taisu Palace serves "Tai Chi noodles," shaped like yin-yang fish, paired with mushroom soup made from mountain spring water, light and nourishing. 5. Zhaoxing Dong Village: A Dong Ethnic Peach Blossom Land on the Edge of Time Highlights: Zhaoxing Dong Village is rated by National Geographic as one of the "33 Most Enticing Travel Destinations Worldwide." The five drum tower clusters appear faintly in the morning mist, like magical castles from a fairy tale. The heavenly sound of Dong grand songs echoes between the Wind and Rain Bridges, making visitors forget worldly troubles. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Early morning and evening: Arrive at the viewing platform before 6:00 AM when the terraced fields are still asleep, with almost no other tourists for panoramic shots; return after 6:00 PM to enjoy the dazzling night view of thousands of lights. 2. Deep experience: Join a "Dong indigo dyeing" workshop to make a unique Dong cloth scarf under the guidance of a master, avoiding the main street crowds. 3. Surrounding hikes: Hike from Tang’an Dong Village to Zhaoxing (about 3 hours), passing the "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon" terraced fields, with almost no other visitors. Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Dong lodging: Zhaoxing Dong Village Tianzhiyi Resort Hotel’s stilt house rooms have wooden bathtubs; at night, listen to Dong pipa songs on the terrace and feel the blend of "poetry and distant places." - Sour soup cuisine: The "Dong Sour Soup Fish" restaurant on the main street serves rice field fish hotpot with litsea cubeba oil and local chili, sour and spicy to whet the appetite, all for about 40 yuan per person. Travel Tips 1. Transportation planning: These secret realms are mostly in mountainous areas; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexible itineraries. For example, Enshi Grand Canyon, Fanjing Mountain, and Shenxianju can be connected via the "Hunan-Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou" self-driving loop, about 1,200 kilometers and 5-7 days. 2. Gear suggestions: Bring waterproof hiking shoes, lightweight raincoat, thermos (due to large temperature differences in mountains), and telephoto lens (for shooting distant strange peaks and rocks). 3. Cultural respect: When visiting ethnic minority areas, respect local customs, such as not touching the beams and pillars of drum towers in Dong villages to avoid disturbing villagers’ daily lives. 4. Off-peak travel: Avoid public holidays and weekends; choose weekdays to not only avoid crowds but also enjoy better accommodation prices. These immortal secret realms privately treasured by National Geographic not only have breathtaking natural landscapes but also cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. By mastering the tips to avoid crowds, you can experience the true charm of the "immortal world" in these secret places and create unforgettable travel memories.

Yet, less than an hour from Hangzhou lies another treasure – Haining, a town that preserves timeless tranquility, historic charm, and rich cultural heritage. 🌊 The Mark of the Sea and Tides Since ancient times, Haining has been famous for its spectacular “Qiantang Tide Bore” – a natural wonder where waves surge across the river like a straight, majestic line.

At times, you may even catch traditional opera performances – a rare and captivating piece of intangible heritage. 🌅 Nature’s Tranquility Don’t miss Fairy Lake, where calm, glassy waters reflect the sky. Sunset here is especially magical, the perfect moment for a peaceful walk or quiet reflection. 👉 Haining is neither crowded nor noisy. It offers a gentle journey – where you can step into layers of cultural history while enjoying the poetic beauty of nature. A perfect destination for those who cherish nostalgia and seek serenity amid the rush of modern life. 📍 Location: Haining City, Zhejiang Province, China.

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Opening the book of Central Asia, I arrived in Uzbekistan, with its blue mosaic buildings, at the moment when the lights first come on, the world of One Thousand and One Nights shines into reality. On my second visit to Uzbekistan, I still love these places— the ancient cities, the architecture, the people, and even the slightly greasy plov, as well as the spiritual nourishment this Silk Road country has given us. The blue classics of Samarkand, I linger repeatedly, weaving through the buildings, touching, spinning, savoring, lost in this blue world, the lights are the switch that illuminates the fairy tale world, opening up a unique charm. Lonely Planet made this ancient city famous, the charming four-columned buildings have become the symbol of Bukhara. Bukhara is not only rich in history, but also has many markets for treasure hunting, and it is also the hometown of Afanti. The ancient city of Khiva in Khwarezm recreates the look of a Silk Road commercial hub. Walking among the ancient historic buildings, it feels like traveling through time, on a treasure hunt journey with the merchants of the steppes. Tashkent blends modernity and history, with many new places to explore, the lively atmosphere of the domed markets, the Soviet-style metro stations, and the grandeur of Uzbek hotels are all must-visit spots in the capital.

Just finished a 5-day food and shopping trip in Shanghai, and now seeing the night view of the Bund and the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road still makes my heart flutter — In September-October, Shanghai bids farewell to the summer heat, with a pleasant breeze in the mornings and evenings. The scent of osmanthus fills the streets, making even a stroll along the road a delight! As a first-time deep traveler and “citywalk” enthusiast in Shanghai, this guide compiles all the hidden gems and must-try experiences, so you won’t go wrong following it~ Let’s start with the must-visit citywalk route, which covers Shanghai’s most romantic spots: Wukang Road → Anfu Road → Yuyuan Road → Jing’an Temple → West Nanjing Road → The Bund. In September-October, the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road just start to turn yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the old Western-style houses, making every photo look like a French film scene 📸; Anfu Road is full of niche cafes and creative shops—pick one, sit by the window, sip coffee, and watch passersby, so cozy you won’t want to leave; at night, the Bund is a must-visit, with the lights of Lujiazui shining across the river and a refreshing breeze from the river. You can also take the ferry (2 RMB per person) across the Huangpu River, which is much cheaper than a cruise. Recommended spots & must-try activities: ① Shanghai Disneyland, less crowded in September-October than summer, so shorter lines. Recommended rides: “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” and “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.” The nighttime fireworks show is super romantic. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official app, about 435 RMB per person; ② Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden with a traditional atmosphere. There might be Mid-Autumn or National Day themed events in September-October. After touring the garden, try the Nanxiang soup dumplings. Admission is 40 RMB, and 2-3 hours is just right; ③ Lujiazui, climb the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower for panoramic views of Shanghai. It’s best to go at dusk to see the transition from day to night. Tickets: Oriental Pearl Tower 199 RMB, Shanghai Tower “Shanghai Top” 180 RMB; ④ Tianzifang, an artsy neighborhood hidden in old alleys, full of handicraft shops and food stalls. When tired, have a bowl of crab roe soup dumplings—super satisfying. Free entry. Transportation & independent travel tips: Shanghai’s transport is very convenient, with the subway reaching most attractions. It’s recommended to download the “Metro Metropolis” app to scan QR codes for entry. Subway fares range from 3 to 10 RMB; for exploring small city streets, shared bikes are perfect, costing 1.5 RMB per 30 minutes, and you can park right in front of your favorite shops; to get to Disneyland, take Line 11 directly, about 1 hour from downtown. Go early in the morning to enjoy more rides. Food recommendations are a must! ① Crab roe soup dumplings, thin skin and full filling, bursting with juice in every bite. Recommended: “Nanxiang Mantou Dian” (Yuyuan branch), about 50 RMB per person, eat while hot; ② Shengjian buns, crispy outside with fresh meat inside. Recommended: “Xiaoyang Shengjian,” about 20 RMB per person, perfect with a bowl of beef soup; ③ Local Shanghai cuisine, braised pork belly is rich but not greasy, sweet and sour ribs are tasty. Recommended: “Lvbolang” or “Lao Jishi Restaurant,” about 100 RMB per person, great for groups; ④ Cifan Tuan (sticky rice roll), a Shanghai breakfast specialty with glutinous rice wrapped around fried dough and pickled vegetables, 10 RMB each, available at street breakfast stalls; ⑤ Osmanthus sweet porridge, a seasonal snack in September-October, sweet with a fragrant osmanthus aroma, 15 RMB per bowl, available in Tianzifang. Accommodation suggestions by scenario! ① For convenience in the city center, stay near East Nanjing Road. The hotel I stayed at was a 10-minute walk to the Bund, and you can stroll the Nanjing Road night market in the evening, about 300 RMB per night per person; ② For an artsy vibe, stay near Wukang Road. The guesthouses have old Western-style architecture, and many niche shops are within walking distance, about 250 RMB per night per person; ③ For cost-effectiveness, stay near Metro Line 2, which connects to Hongqiao and Pudong airports. Chain hotels cost about 200 RMB per night per person, with very convenient transport. Avoidance tips & practical advice: ① Book Disneyland’s fast pass in advance on the app, don’t buy from scalpers to avoid scams; ② Souvenirs at Yuyuan and Tianzifang are a bit pricey, remember to bargain; ③ It may rain occasionally in Shanghai in September-October, bring an umbrella; ④ Don’t buy specialties at tourist spots, supermarkets in the city are cheaper. Recommended gifts: White Rabbit candy, pear syrup candy, and Xinghualou mooncakes; ⑤ Avoid visiting the Bund on holidays due to crowds, evenings on regular days are more comfortable. Finally, photo-worthy spots: Wukang Road’s Wukang Mansion, side shots have a strong French vibe; The Bund’s Peace Hotel, with its vintage architecture, makes for textured photos; Disneyland’s castle, especially at night with fireworks, is super romantic; Yuyuan Road’s old Western-style houses, with greenery and doorplates at the entrance, are perfect for artsy photos. September-October in Shanghai is romantic and comfortable, truly perfect for a trip—you’ll definitely fall in love~

If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy. Please like, share, and follow for more updates!

In secret realms far from the hustle and bustle of the world, those "real-life immortal worlds" certified by National Geographic quietly await travelers who truly understand them, with mist as their veil and strange peaks as their bones. These hidden places not only boast stunning natural wonders but also harbor cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. This guide takes you beyond Wangxian Valley to five immortal secret realms, offering an immersive cultivation journey with fewer people and beautiful scenery. 1. Enshi Grand Canyon: An Immortal Epic of Karst Landforms Highlights: As one of National Geographic’s "Most Beautiful Places in China," Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its rare global "fissure-sinkhole-rock pillar" composite karst landforms. Yunlong Fissure is called "the most beautiful scar on Earth," with rock layers on both sides recording hundreds of millions of years of geological changes; the "Incense Stick" stone pillar in Qixingzhai Scenic Area stands 150 meters tall, resembling a magical artifact left by immortals in the mist. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Off-peak visits: Enter at 7:30 AM on a weekday, start with Yunlong Fissure to avoid tour group peaks. 2. Reverse route: Take the cable car from the north gate up the mountain, then walk backward along the cliffside plank road to enjoy the sea of clouds rolling over White Crane Peak alone. 3.

Fanjing Mountain: A Buddhist Holy Land in the Sea of Clouds and Buddha Light Highlights: A World Natural Heritage site, Fanjing Mountain is famous for geological wonders like "mushroom stones" and the "Red Cloud Golden Summit," and is praised by National Geographic as the top "lesser-known mountain" in China. The twin peaks of the Golden Summit face each other, and in the morning mist, it looks like a Daoist arena where immortals fly on swords. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Choose the East Gate: Fewer tourists than the West Gate, and you can take a cable car through the primeval forest, occasionally spotting Guizhou golden monkeys. 2. Early arrival: Book the first cable car at 7:00 AM to enjoy the breathtaking view of the sea of clouds and sunrise alone at the summit. 3.

Shenxianju: An Immortal Dream on the Cliffside Plank Road Highlights: Known for "sea of clouds, strange peaks, and steep cliffs," Shenxianju’s S-shaped Ruyi Bridge is hailed as "China’s most beautiful bridge," and when shrouded in mist, it looks like a heavenly palace. The scenic area has a high negative ion concentration of 88,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a natural "lung cleansing sanctuary." Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Enter from the North Gate: Fewer tourists than the South Gate, and you can take a cable car directly to Beihai Scenic Area, avoiding the hiking trail crowds. 2. Off-peak photography: Arrive at Ruyi Bridge before 7:30 AM when the mist still lingers, making portrait shots look like you’re in the clouds. 3. Deep hiking: Hike from the Beihai cable car upper station to Nantian Peak, passing lesser-known spots like "Flying Waterfall" and "Lovers’ Forest," with almost no other visitors.

Qiyun Mountain: A Taoist Secret Realm in Danxia Landforms Highlights: Qiyun Mountain is famous for its "Danxia red cliffs and Taoist culture." The "Heavenly Street" buildings on Yuehua Street hang on cliff walls, looking like a fairyland in the mist. The "True Immortal Cave" cliff inscriptions record Taoist culture from the Tang and Song dynasties. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Travel on weekdays: Most visitors come on weekends; on weekdays, you can almost enjoy the tranquility of the "Cloud Heavenly Street" alone. 2. Hiking route: Hike from Dengfeng Bridge (about 2 hours), passing secret spots like "Longevity Rock" and "Elephant Trunk Rock," with almost no other tourists. 3.

Zhaoxing Dong Village: A Dong Ethnic Peach Blossom Land on the Edge of Time Highlights: Zhaoxing Dong Village is rated by National Geographic as one of the "33 Most Enticing Travel Destinations Worldwide." The five drum tower clusters appear faintly in the morning mist, like magical castles from a fairy tale. The heavenly sound of Dong grand songs echoes between the Wind and Rain Bridges, making visitors forget worldly troubles. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Early morning and evening: Arrive at the viewing platform before 6:00 AM when the terraced fields are still asleep, with almost no other tourists for panoramic shots; return after 6:00 PM to enjoy the dazzling night view of thousands of lights. 2. Deep experience: Join a "Dong indigo dyeing" workshop to make a unique Dong cloth scarf under the guidance of a master, avoiding the main street crowds. 3.

Trip.com Popular Experiences: - Dong lodging: Zhaoxing Dong Village Tianzhiyi Resort Hotel’s stilt house rooms have wooden bathtubs; at night, listen to Dong pipa songs on the terrace and feel the blend of "poetry and distant places." - Sour soup cuisine: The "Dong Sour Soup Fish" restaurant on the main street serves rice field fish hotpot with litsea cubeba oil and local chili, sour and spicy to whet the appetite, all for about 40 yuan per person. Travel Tips 1. Transportation planning: These secret realms are mostly in mountainous areas; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexible itineraries. For example, Enshi Grand Canyon, Fanjing Mountain, and Shenxianju can be connected via the "Hunan-Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou" self-driving loop, about 1,200 kilometers and 5-7 days. 2. Gear suggestions: Bring waterproof hiking shoes, lightweight raincoat, thermos (due to large temperature differences in mountains), and telephoto lens (for shooting distant strange peaks and rocks). 3. Cultural respect: When visiting ethnic minority areas, respect local customs, such as not touching the beams and pillars of drum towers in Dong villages to avoid disturbing villagers’ daily lives. 4. Off-peak travel: Avoid public holidays and weekends; choose weekdays to not only avoid crowds but also enjoy better accommodation prices. These immortal secret realms privately treasured by National Geographic not only have breathtaking natural landscapes but also cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. By mastering the tips to avoid crowds, you can experience the true charm of the "immortal world" in these secret places and create unforgettable travel memories.

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Opening the book of Central Asia, I arrived in Uzbekistan, with its blue mosaic buildings, at the moment when the lights first come on, the world of One Thousand and One Nights shines into reality. On my second visit to Uzbekistan, I still love these places— the ancient cities, the architecture, the people, and even the slightly greasy plov, as well as the spiritual nourishment this Silk Road country has given us. The blue classics of Samarkand, I linger repeatedly, weaving through the buildings, touching, spinning, savoring, lost in this blue world, the lights are the switch that illuminates the fairy tale world, opening up a unique charm. Lonely Planet made this ancient city famous, the charming four-columned buildings have become the symbol of Bukhara. Bukhara is not only rich in history, but also has many markets for treasure hunting, and it is also the hometown of Afanti. The ancient city of Khiva in Khwarezm recreates the look of a Silk Road commercial hub. Walking among the ancient historic buildings, it feels like traveling through time, on a treasure hunt journey with the merchants of the steppes. Tashkent blends modernity and history, with many new places to explore, the lively atmosphere of the domed markets, the Soviet-style metro stations, and the grandeur of Uzbek hotels are all must-visit spots in the capital.

Just finished a 5-day food and shopping trip in Shanghai, and now seeing the night view of the Bund and the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road still makes my heart flutter — In September-October, Shanghai bids farewell to the summer heat, with a pleasant breeze in the mornings and evenings. The scent of osmanthus fills the streets, making even a stroll along the road a delight! As a first-time deep traveler and “citywalk” enthusiast in Shanghai, this guide compiles all the hidden gems and must-try experiences, so you won’t go wrong following it~ Let’s start with the must-visit citywalk route, which covers Shanghai’s most romantic spots: Wukang Road → Anfu Road → Yuyuan Road → Jing’an Temple → West Nanjing Road → The Bund. In September-October, the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road just start to turn yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the old Western-style houses, making every photo look like a French film scene 📸; Anfu Road is full of niche cafes and creative shops—pick one, sit by the window, sip coffee, and watch passersby, so cozy you won’t want to leave; at night, the Bund is a must-visit, with the lights of Lujiazui shining across the river and a refreshing breeze from the river. You can also take the ferry (2 RMB per person) across the Huangpu River, which is much cheaper than a cruise. Recommended spots & must-try activities: ① Shanghai Disneyland, less crowded in September-October than summer, so shorter lines. Recommended rides: “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” and “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.” The nighttime fireworks show is super romantic. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official app, about 435 RMB per person; ② Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden with a traditional atmosphere. There might be Mid-Autumn or National Day themed events in September-October. After touring the garden, try the Nanxiang soup dumplings. Admission is 40 RMB, and 2-3 hours is just right; ③ Lujiazui, climb the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower for panoramic views of Shanghai. It’s best to go at dusk to see the transition from day to night. Tickets: Oriental Pearl Tower 199 RMB, Shanghai Tower “Shanghai Top” 180 RMB; ④ Tianzifang, an artsy neighborhood hidden in old alleys, full of handicraft shops and food stalls. When tired, have a bowl of crab roe soup dumplings—super satisfying. Free entry. Transportation & independent travel tips: Shanghai’s transport is very convenient, with the subway reaching most attractions. It’s recommended to download the “Metro Metropolis” app to scan QR codes for entry. Subway fares range from 3 to 10 RMB; for exploring small city streets, shared bikes are perfect, costing 1.5 RMB per 30 minutes, and you can park right in front of your favorite shops; to get to Disneyland, take Line 11 directly, about 1 hour from downtown. Go early in the morning to enjoy more rides. Food recommendations are a must! ① Crab roe soup dumplings, thin skin and full filling, bursting with juice in every bite. Recommended: “Nanxiang Mantou Dian” (Yuyuan branch), about 50 RMB per person, eat while hot; ② Shengjian buns, crispy outside with fresh meat inside.

Accommodation suggestions by scenario! ① For convenience in the city center, stay near East Nanjing Road. The hotel I stayed at was a 10-minute walk to the Bund, and you can stroll the Nanjing Road night market in the evening, about 300 RMB per night per person; ② For an artsy vibe, stay near Wukang Road. The guesthouses have old Western-style architecture, and many niche shops are within walking distance, about 250 RMB per night per person; ③ For cost-effectiveness, stay near Metro Line 2, which connects to Hongqiao and Pudong airports. Chain hotels cost about 200 RMB per night per person, with very convenient transport. Avoidance tips & practical advice: ① Book Disneyland’s fast pass in advance on the app, don’t buy from scalpers to avoid scams; ② Souvenirs at Yuyuan and Tianzifang are a bit pricey, remember to bargain; ③ It may rain occasionally in Shanghai in September-October, bring an umbrella; ④ Don’t buy specialties at tourist spots, supermarkets in the city are cheaper. Recommended gifts: White Rabbit candy, pear syrup candy, and Xinghualou mooncakes; ⑤ Avoid visiting the Bund on holidays due to crowds, evenings on regular days are more comfortable. Finally, photo-worthy spots: Wukang Road’s Wukang Mansion, side shots have a strong French vibe; The Bund’s Peace Hotel, with its vintage architecture, makes for textured photos; Disneyland’s castle, especially at night with fireworks, is super romantic; Yuyuan Road’s old Western-style houses, with greenery and doorplates at the entrance, are perfect for artsy photos. September-October in Shanghai is romantic and comfortable, truly perfect for a trip—you’ll definitely fall in love~

If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy. Please like, share, and follow for more updates!

In secret realms far from the hustle and bustle of the world, those "real-life immortal worlds" certified by National Geographic quietly await travelers who truly understand them, with mist as their veil and strange peaks as their bones. These hidden places not only boast stunning natural wonders but also harbor cultural charms untouched by over-commercialization. This guide takes you beyond Wangxian Valley to five immortal secret realms, offering an immersive cultivation journey with fewer people and beautiful scenery. 1. Enshi Grand Canyon: An Immortal Epic of Karst Landforms Highlights: As one of National Geographic’s "Most Beautiful Places in China," Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its rare global "fissure-sinkhole-rock pillar" composite karst landforms.

Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Off-peak visits: Enter at 7:30 AM on a weekday, start with Yunlong Fissure to avoid tour group peaks. 2.

The twin peaks of the Golden Summit face each other, and in the morning mist, it looks like a Daoist arena where immortals fly on swords. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Choose the East Gate: Fewer tourists than the West Gate, and you can take a cable car through the primeval forest, occasionally spotting Guizhou golden monkeys. 2.

The scenic area has a high negative ion concentration of 88,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a natural "lung cleansing sanctuary." Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Enter from the North Gate: Fewer tourists than the South Gate, and you can take a cable car directly to Beihai Scenic Area, avoiding the hiking trail crowds. 2. Off-peak photography: Arrive at Ruyi Bridge before 7:30 AM when the mist still lingers, making portrait shots look like you’re in the clouds. 3.

Qiyun Mountain: A Taoist Secret Realm in Danxia Landforms Highlights: Qiyun Mountain is famous for its "Danxia red cliffs and Taoist culture." The "Heavenly Street" buildings on Yuehua Street hang on cliff walls, looking like a fairyland in the mist.

Zhaoxing Dong Village: A Dong Ethnic Peach Blossom Land on the Edge of Time Highlights: Zhaoxing Dong Village is rated by National Geographic as one of the "33 Most Enticing Travel Destinations Worldwide." The five drum tower clusters appear faintly in the morning mist, like magical castles from a fairy tale. The heavenly sound of Dong grand songs echoes between the Wind and Rain Bridges, making visitors forget worldly troubles. Tips to Avoid Crowds: 1. Early morning and evening: Arrive at the viewing platform before 6:00 AM when the terraced fields are still asleep, with almost no other tourists for panoramic shots; return after 6:00 PM to enjoy the dazzling night view of thousands of lights. 2.

Travel Tips 1. Transportation planning: These secret realms are mostly in mountainous areas; self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexible itineraries. For example, Enshi Grand Canyon, Fanjing Mountain, and Shenxianju can be connected via the "Hunan-Hubei-Chongqing-Guizhou" self-driving loop, about 1,200 kilometers and 5-7 days. 2. Gear suggestions: Bring waterproof hiking shoes, lightweight raincoat, thermos (due to large temperature differences in mountains), and telephoto lens (for shooting distant strange peaks and rocks). 3. Cultural respect: When visiting ethnic minority areas, respect local customs, such as not touching the beams and pillars of drum towers in Dong villages to avoid disturbing villagers’ daily lives. 4.

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Opening the book of Central Asia, I arrived in Uzbekistan, with its blue mosaic buildings, at the moment when the lights first come on, the world of One Thousand and One Nights shines into reality. On my second visit to Uzbekistan, I still love these places— the ancient cities, the architecture, the people, and even the slightly greasy plov, as well as the spiritual nourishment this Silk Road country has given us. The blue classics of Samarkand, I linger repeatedly, weaving through the buildings, touching, spinning, savoring, lost in this blue world, the lights are the switch that illuminates the fairy tale world, opening up a unique charm. Lonely Planet made this ancient city famous, the charming four-columned buildings have become the symbol of Bukhara. Bukhara is not only rich in history, but also has many markets for treasure hunting, and it is also the hometown of Afanti. The ancient city of Khiva in Khwarezm recreates the look of a Silk Road commercial hub. Walking among the ancient historic buildings, it feels like traveling through time, on a treasure hunt journey with the merchants of the steppes. Tashkent blends modernity and history, with many new places to explore, the lively atmosphere of the domed markets, the Soviet-style metro stations, and the grandeur of Uzbek hotels are all must-visit spots in the capital.

Just finished a 5-day food and shopping trip in Shanghai, and now seeing the night view of the Bund and the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road still makes my heart flutter — In September-October, Shanghai bids farewell to the summer heat, with a pleasant breeze in the mornings and evenings. The scent of osmanthus fills the streets, making even a stroll along the road a delight! As a first-time deep traveler and “citywalk” enthusiast in Shanghai, this guide compiles all the hidden gems and must-try experiences, so you won’t go wrong following it~ Let’s start with the must-visit citywalk route, which covers Shanghai’s most romantic spots: Wukang Road → Anfu Road → Yuyuan Road → Jing’an Temple → West Nanjing Road → The Bund. In September-October, the plane tree leaves on Wukang Road just start to turn yellow, and sunlight filters through the leaves onto the old Western-style houses, making every photo look like a French film scene 📸; Anfu Road is full of niche cafes and creative shops—pick one, sit by the window, sip coffee, and watch passersby, so cozy you won’t want to leave; at night, the Bund is a must-visit, with the lights of Lujiazui shining across the river and a refreshing breeze from the river. You can also take the ferry (2 RMB per person) across the Huangpu River, which is much cheaper than a cruise. Recommended spots & must-try activities: ① Shanghai Disneyland, less crowded in September-October than summer, so shorter lines. Recommended rides: “TRON Lightcycle Power Run” and “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.” The nighttime fireworks show is super romantic. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official app, about 435 RMB per person; ② Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden with a traditional atmosphere. There might be Mid-Autumn or National Day themed events in September-October. After touring the garden, try the Nanxiang soup dumplings. Admission is 40 RMB, and 2-3 hours is just right; ③ Lujiazui, climb the Oriental Pearl Tower or Shanghai Tower for panoramic views of Shanghai. It’s best to go at dusk to see the transition from day to night. Tickets: Oriental Pearl Tower 199 RMB, Shanghai Tower “Shanghai Top” 180 RMB; ④ Tianzifang, an artsy neighborhood hidden in old alleys, full of handicraft shops and food stalls. When tired, have a bowl of crab roe soup dumplings—super satisfying. Free entry. Transportation & independent travel tips: Shanghai’s transport is very convenient, with the subway reaching most attractions. It’s recommended to download the “Metro Metropolis” app to scan QR codes for entry. Subway fares range from 3 to 10 RMB; for exploring small city streets, shared bikes are perfect, costing 1.5 RMB per 30 minutes, and you can park right in front of your favorite shops; to get to Disneyland, take Line 11 directly, about 1 hour from downtown. Go early in the morning to enjoy more rides. Food recommendations are a must! ① Crab roe soup dumplings, thin skin and full filling, bursting with juice in every bite. Recommended: “Nanxiang Mantou Dian” (Yuyuan branch), about 50 RMB per person, eat while hot; ② Shengjian buns, crispy outside with fresh meat inside. Recommended: “Xiaoyang Shengjian,” about 20 RMB per person, perfect with a bowl of beef soup; ③ Local Shanghai cuisine, braised pork belly is rich but not greasy, sweet and sour ribs are tasty. Recommended: “Lvbolang” or “Lao Jishi Restaurant,” about 100 RMB per person, great for groups; ④ Cifan Tuan (sticky rice roll), a Shanghai breakfast specialty with glutinous rice wrapped around fried dough and pickled vegetables, 10 RMB each, available at street breakfast stalls; ⑤ Osmanthus sweet porridge, a seasonal snack in September-October, sweet with a fragrant osmanthus aroma, 15 RMB per bowl, available in Tianzifang. Accommodation suggestions by scenario! ① For convenience in the city center, stay near East Nanjing Road. The hotel I stayed at was a 10-minute walk to the Bund, and you can stroll the Nanjing Road night market in the evening, about 300 RMB per night per person; ② For an artsy vibe, stay near Wukang Road. The guesthouses have old Western-style architecture, and many niche shops are within walking distance, about 250 RMB per night per person; ③ For cost-effectiveness, stay near Metro Line 2, which connects to Hongqiao and Pudong airports. Chain hotels cost about 200 RMB per night per person, with very convenient transport. Avoidance tips & practical advice: ① Book Disneyland’s fast pass in advance on the app, don’t buy from scalpers to avoid scams; ② Souvenirs at Yuyuan and Tianzifang are a bit pricey, remember to bargain; ③ It may rain occasionally in Shanghai in September-October, bring an umbrella; ④ Don’t buy specialties at tourist spots, supermarkets in the city are cheaper. Recommended gifts: White Rabbit candy, pear syrup candy, and Xinghualou mooncakes; ⑤ Avoid visiting the Bund on holidays due to crowds, evenings on regular days are more comfortable. Finally, photo-worthy spots: Wukang Road’s Wukang Mansion, side shots have a strong French vibe; The Bund’s Peace Hotel, with its vintage architecture, makes for textured photos; Disneyland’s castle, especially at night with fireworks, is super romantic; Yuyuan Road’s old Western-style houses, with greenery and doorplates at the entrance, are perfect for artsy photos. September-October in Shanghai is romantic and comfortable, truly perfect for a trip—you’ll definitely fall in love~
