After eight years, I finally got to attend a World Cup match in person again. Woke up at 6 AM, had three eggs, a corn cob, and a protein shake with milk, then drove eight hours straight to Kansas City to catch the first group stage match. Every bit of it was worth it! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Group stage opener: 3-0—another unforgettable historic night. Eight years ago, I saw you score the only goal for that World Cup. Eight years later, I witnessed your first hat-trick on the World Cup stage ⚽️⚽️⚽️. The Argentina team led by Scaloni is completely different from the one eight years ago, but what hasn’t changed is you 🐐👑. Here’s my KC match experience 👇 Today’s match, being the first World Cup game hosted in Kansas City, was a letdown in terms of on-site experience. In one word: bad. In two words: very bad. In three words: extremely bad! 😤😤😤 1. Got in line for security at 5 PM sharp, but it took a full 45 minutes to get through. 2. The fan experience activities at the venue were poorly organized. Despite the large open space, the activities felt like a hastily thrown-together amateur setup. For example, the photo booth for creating player cards had only one machine, resulting in a long line. On average, it took two minutes per person, so unless you were willing to wait two hours, you wouldn’t get your turn! Think twice before joining this line! The face-painting stations for national flags only had two counters. I waited over ten minutes without moving an inch—absolutely frustrating. 3. Avoid choosing non-popular park & ride pickup points❕❕❕ I picked the Independence Center shuttle point to get to the stadium. After the match, when trying to return, shuttles to this less popular point were scarce. Meanwhile, multiple empty buses were heading to the Plaza shuttle point. I had to wait for over ten buses before finally getting one to Independence Center! The organizers didn’t allow buses to adjust routes to accommodate stranded fans at less popular points. Watching others leave while I was stuck there, exhausted and starving, left me speechless 🙄. I was too tired to even complain 😅. In conclusion, I now fully understand why some media outlets rated KC as the worst host city before the tournament 🫪.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Arches National Geologic Park is located in the town of Moab, Utah, USA. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Years of wind and time have sculpted the red rock landscape, creating a strong sense of wilderness desolation. It is also an unmissable natural landmark on any American West road trip. The entire park is connected by a scenic road linking all the attractions, allowing you to drive slowly along the route and stop freely for photos. The Delicate Arch is the soul landmark of the entire park and a symbol of Utah. At sunset, the orange-red rock walls are wrapped in the glow of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking scene 📸 The North and South Window Arches trail is gentle and easy, allowing you to check in at two adjacent stone arches with a short walk, making it stress-free for beginners and elders. Devil’s Garden hides the Landscape Arch, which spans 93 meters in length. The thin rock wall standing between the canyons offers a visually stunning experience. The balanced rock by the roadside stands firmly on a narrow stone base, perfect for snapping fun wilderness shots 🪨 Far from city light pollution in the desert area, the Milky Way clearly spreads above the arches at night. The quiet wilderness is perfect for slowing down and feeling the romantic sediment of geological time. ✅ Concise and Practical Guide at the End Transportation 1. Self-driving (the only recommended way) Base yourself in Moab town, just a 10-minute drive to the park entrance; from Salt Lake City, it’s a 4-hour drive, and from Zion National Park, about 3.5 hours by car. There is no public bus service inside the park. Sedans can access the main roads, while less-traveled gravel roads are better suited for SUVs. 2. Public Transportation There are almost no convenient public transport options, so relying on public transit is not recommended. Short-distance car rentals are an alternative. 🅿️ Parking Each trailhead has its own dedicated parking lot. Parking spaces are very tight during the peak season from May to October. Arriving before 7 AM increases your chances of finding a spot. Delicate Arch, Devil’s Garden, and the Window areas consume parking spaces the fastest. If parking is full, you can first visit smaller, less crowded viewpoints along the way and return later to avoid peak times. All parking in the park is free 🆓. Parking on the roadside or blocking traffic is prohibited. ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1. Delicate Arch: The park’s core landmark and prime sunset photo spot, with a simple distant viewing platform requiring no strenuous hiking. 2. North and South Window Arches: Low-difficulty leisure trail with two stone frame arches that are very photogenic. 3. Landscape Arch: The world’s longest natural stone arch, with a flat and easy trail. 4. Balanced Rock: A short roadside stop with a giant suspended rock that is highly recognizable. 5. Devil’s Garden Loop: An advanced hiking route unlocking multiple lesser-known arches in one go. ✅ Practical Tips 1. Duration: Allocate 3 hours for a relaxed self-driving visit; a full day is needed to complete the core hiking routes. 2. Best Time to Visit: April to May and September to October, when the weather is cool and you avoid the desert’s intense summer heat. 3. Entrance Fee: $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days. For better value, consider the $80 annual pass for all U.S. national parks. 4. Essentials: The desert sun is intense, so bring plenty of drinking water, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip hiking shoes. There are no restaurants inside the park, so stock up on snacks and water in Moab beforehand. 5. Precautions: Do not climb or touch the sandstone walls, as weathered rocks are prone to falling and collapsing.

🥅 The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan, I decided to join the fun. 🇺🇸 Surprisingly, Washington, D.C., isn't one of the host cities, so I chose Philadelphia and attended the cheapest group stage match: Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 vs Curaçao 🇨🇼. 🎫 World Cup tickets are quite expensive. This match was a less popular one, but even the furthest seats at the top cost $500 each. Parking fees were also steep—$150 for one match. The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans, and the atmosphere was electric. Every time a goal was scored, the crowd erupted in cheers. The final score was 2-0, with Curaçao eliminated. 💚 Something funny happened that day. I wore an NCT WINWIN basketball jersey (and even brought a matching plush doll and photo card). While eating, a foreigner came up to me and asked if my jersey was from NCT. I was surprised to see NCT still has recognition in the US, haha! 🥪 If you plan to eat, make sure to arrive early or eat beforehand. I arrived two hours early and almost missed the kickoff because the food lines were so long. First, you queue at a self-service machine to order, then wait in another line to pick up your food. The machines were overwhelmed, and each dish took about 30 minutes to order and even longer to prepare. I ended up with a beef sandwich, but it seemed like they had run out of ingredients—no sauce, no cheese, just cold, hard bread and beef slices. It was pretty tasteless 😅. 🍧 I regret not doing more research beforehand. I missed out on getting a wristband and commemorative ticket. I also found out too late that only tiny or transparent bags are allowed, so I had to walk back to the parking lot to leave my bag in the car. Later, I learned that each person can bring one bottle of water, while buying one inside costs $7. The open-air stadium was scorching, so bringing a small fan is a good idea. They sell shaved ice inside, and you can mix two flavors in one cup. It was refreshing in the heat, even though it was full of artificial coloring—I looked like an Avatar after eating it! 📍 Lincoln Financial Field • Philadelphia • Pennsylvania • USA 🇺🇸

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: · Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. · Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. · Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

📍Universal Studios Hollywood 🗺️No backtracking route 💡 Map is in the last picture: ⚠️ There are many escalators between the lower and upper parks. Elevators are far apart and require a shuttle, so it’s recommended to travel light. One person can carry the child while the other handles the stroller on the escalator. 【Lower Park】(Recommended to visit first thing in the morning) 1. 🌟 Super Nintendo World: Mario Kart 🏎️ and live-action Mario. You can buy an interactive wristband. The Mario restaurant requires an app reservation in advance, but there is actually a side entrance where you can enter and order directly. 2. 🦕 Jurassic World: The Ride, very likely to get soaked in the front row, remember to bring a raincoat. 3. ⚰️ The Mummy: Not suitable for small children. 4. 🤖 Transformers: Great 5D effects, but strong visual impact that might scare little kids. 【Upper Park】(Leisurely visit in the afternoon) 5. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The Simpsons: Various mini-games. 6. 🌟 Studio Tour: Take a bus 🚌 to see movie sets. Recommended to sit on the right window side for the best view! 7. 🪄 Harry Potter: The roller coaster and Forbidden Journey are thrilling, not suitable for young children, but there is child swap so parents can take turns riding. Must try the “Butterbeer,” which, despite the name, is a non-alcoholic sweet sparkling drink safe for kids. 8. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda: A short special effects movie with non-shaking seats available for parents holding children. 9&10.🐶 Minions / Secret Life of Pets: Cute style, kid-friendly. 11.🌊 WaterWorld Show: Stunning stunts. Seats are color-coded: blue for soaking wet, green for half wet, choose gray safe zone if with kids. 🚗 🅿️ Two tips to get $5 parking (save dozens of dollars) Method 1️⃣: Buy a same-day movie ticket at the CityWalk AMC theater via the AMC App ➡️ Tell the parking attendant you’re there for the movie, and parking fee instantly becomes $5 ➡️ Before the movie starts, cancel the ticket online in the app (with a $2-$3 handling fee). Total cost is under $8 for official parking. 👀 If there’s an issue with the ticket system, you must pay parking first, then buy a ticket on-site to get a parking rebate, and then cancel the movie ticket. Method 2️⃣: Navigate to 3913 Lankershim Blvd parking lot, $3 per day. Park and walk over the skybridge to take the free shuttle bus into the park. But theoretically, this is a subway station 🚉 parking lot, so there might be a risk of towing. Next time, I’ll share a detailed guide on the live-action Mario in Super Nintendo World.

I've been longing for this white horse for a long time! When I was in school, I saw my senior's graduation photo and thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely take a photo sitting on a horse's back. More than a year after graduation! I finally got the chance! I got on! Took the photo! No more regrets about USC! It's really impossible to get on with just one person helping. At least one more person is needed! One side needs the photographer to hold my hand, and the other side needs my husband to support my leg to get up (big thanks to these two helpers). Beautiful photos like this are made this way! “As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others.”

#bestplacestowatchfootball Beyond sports, the venue transforms into a gallery, featuring impressive contemporary artwork and a deep commitment to sustainability as a LEED-certified building utilizing solar panels and urban gardens. Fan-Friendly Concessions: One of the most praised aspects of the venue is its revolutionized "fan-first" pricing. Unlike typical major stadiums, food and drink options are surprisingly affordable, featuring reasonable pricing alongside popular vendors like Chick-fil-A, Tex-Mex options, and standard stadium favorites. Exceptional Accessibility: The stadium is top-tier when it comes to inclusion. Visitors commend the seamless wheelchair accessibility, highlighting dedicated staff assistance, easy floor-to-floor transit, and spacious, accommodating restroom facilities. Vibrant Atmosphere: Driven by a premium sound system and cutting-edge lighting, the environment during games and concerts is described as utterly electric, frequently prompting the entire crowd to stand up and dance. Logistical Disadvantages: While the interior experience receives universal acclaim, leaving the venue can present challenges. Reviewers note that navigating the surrounding traffic and exiting the paid parking garages can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour post-event due to a lack of directed traffic flow at the end of the night.

My journey in Spain began in the south. There was one small town on the itinerary that was a must-visit pilgrimage site—Ronda. A place worth traveling a thousand miles for must have its highlights: Some say Ronda is the "white town built on a cliff"; Some say Ronda is the "birthplace of modern bullfighting"; And some say Ronda is "the best place for a honeymoon or to elope." Ronda doesn’t have the famous cathedrals of Barcelona, nor the palaces of Seville. It only has cliffs. But those cliffs are enough to define it as the "elopement town" the world knows—astonishingly so. Throughout history, "elopement" may be one of the most romantic words in the world. The title of Spain’s "elopement town" is not self-proclaimed by Ronda but was lavishly praised by the great writer Ernest Hemingway: “If you want to honeymoon or elope in Spain, Ronda is the most suitable place; the entire city is filled with romantic scenery as far as the eye can see...” This small town, standing freely on the cliff edge❸❹❺, is unique in the world, just like the pure and unique love all lovers seek. The gorge carved by the Guadalevín River looks as if it was split by a divine broad axe⓬⓰⓱. The old and new towns lie on opposite sides, like a pair of lovers separated by the world, a hundred meters apart, gazing but unable to meet. Fortunately, the magnificent new bridge spanning the gorge builds a "magpie bridge" connecting them. Countless couples stand at the cliff’s edge waiting for sunrise and sunset, before them the magnificent cliffs, around them the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and doves fluttering by, beside them the lover they have chosen to hold hands with for life. Passing through the archway of the old bridge❶⓭⓮, you enter the old town, where narrow alleys wind like a maze, and every step might collide with history. The pebble-paved streets shine under the sun, white walls like freshly fallen snow, and every windowsill is adorned with flaming bougainvillea. As you walk through the alleys, you hear guitar chords, the notes wrapped in the scent of orange blossoms drifting toward the cliff—there, a couple presses their foreheads together, framed by white houses, looking like people stepped out of a painting. Hemingway, who once lived here, probably heard such strings too, which is why he said, “Here, as far as the eye can see, everything is romantic.” Ronda is also the birthplace of Spain’s national treasure, bullfighting, and home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The bronze bull sculpture raises its horns under the sun❽❾. In the past, bullfighting was an activity exclusive to the nobility, who fought bulls on horseback. Until one nobleman, lacking skill, was thrown off by a bull, and at that life-or-death moment, a commoner rushed into the ring, waving his hat to distract the bull. This act not only saved the nobleman but also ushered in a new era of bullfighters fighting on foot at Ronda’s bullring. In this 1785 circular arena, it is said that Pedro Romero fought 5,000 bulls over 28 years without a scratch. Today, the benches still hold the warmth of past years, sunlight weaves the shadows of fences on the yellow sand, like a bullfighter’s red cape spread into a sea. I look up at the weathered bronze sculptures by the ring, as if hearing the cheers of the crowd mixed with the low moans of bulls, sinking into this thick, intense air. Ronda’s most beautiful moment is dusk. I wanted to take a photo of the "golden light through the arch" by the new bridge❿⓫, but found the cliffs to be the most magnificent backdrop, the sunset a natural romantic filter, even silence turning into love words. Built on a crack, it achieves unparalleled wholeness; bearing the heavy history of bullfighting and war, it exudes the ultimate romantic aura. It teaches the preciousness of reliance through the cliff’s steepness; it highlights the nobility of love through the depth of the gorge. Before coming, I always thought the "elopement city" was a distant dream, a romance too good to be true like in novels. But when I actually stepped on the flower-shadowed old town streets and touched the stone texture of the new bridge, I suddenly laughed out loud: It turns out those gentlenesses I dared not hope for Had long been blown by the wind on this cliff, becoming the scenery at my feet; And it was Ronda’s light that filled my arms with orange gold.

💎Overseas secret wild ambassador | California Fort Bragg glass beach film-style travel guide Destination: Glass Beach at MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg, California. Once a city dump site, decades of ocean waves have polished it into a coast of sparkling sea glass. A must-stop natural hidden gem on the Highway 1 road trip. 🚗 Two travel options Drive north from San Francisco along CA-1 Highway. The drive takes about 3.5 hours with Pacific cliffside ocean views all along the way, where you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. There is a small free parking lot at the beach’s end. Parking is limited during peak season, so try to arrive before 9 AM. Paid parking in the state park costs US$10 per day. If you don’t have a car, you can take the Greyhound bus to Fort Bragg town, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. The total trip takes 6 to 8 hours. Local carpool or day tours are also options. 📸 Four main highlights ✨ Rainbow sea glass beach: White and green sea glass are most common. Red and blue are rare and only fully visible at low tide when the entire tidal flat is exposed. The coast is divided into three beach areas. Beach 3 has the largest amount of sea glass and the best viewing. A gentle coastal boardwalk lets you see small marine creatures like crabs and sea anemones in tide pools. Stop by the Skunk vintage forest train and the colorful seaside fairy-tale town of Mendocino. The golden hour from 3 PM to 5 PM offers soft backlighting. Wet sea glass becomes translucent and reflective, perfect for atmospheric film-style photos. 🦋 Fun experiences Hunt for smooth sea glass on the tidal flats, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, ride the vintage train through redwood forests, and capture breathtaking ocean views from the cliffs. 🍤 Local food options In Fort Bragg town, enjoy fresh seafood, classic clam chowder, American burgers with craft beer, authentic Mexican tacos, or bring your own ingredients for a picnic by the sea. 🏡 Two types of accommodations ▫️ Fort Bragg town: Well-developed with plenty of sea view vacation rentals and convenient daily shopping. ▫️ Mendocino town: Rich in artistic atmosphere with stylish seaside cabins, ideal for a slow-paced, immersive vacation. 💡 Essential travel tips The beach is covered with glass shards, so wear non-slip, durable hiking shoes to protect your feet from cuts. Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

Who would have thought that Northern California hides this healing Glass Beach? It used to be a century-old landfill, but after decades of ocean waves washing over it, the sharp broken glass has all been polished into smooth colorful stones, covering the entire coastline. Under the sunlight, it sparkles like a spilled candy jar 💎 📍Exact address: Fort Bragg, CA 95437 A 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco, heading north along Highway CA-1, the coastal scenery along the way is truly soothing. The best time to visit is between 3-5 PM when the soft light makes the glass stones look transparent and bright. Be sure to time your visit with low tide so that the large patches of colorful gems are fully exposed, creating a perfect atmosphere for photos. Two must-shoot spots to remember: a panoramic aerial view of Rainbow Beach with stunning color layers; and by the sea cave waiting for sunlight to refract through the waves, creating amazing light and shadow effects. Travel tips: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It’s windy by the sea, so bring a light jacket. Absolutely do not take any glass stones—leave them for others to enjoy. After checking out the beach, you can also plan nearby activities: ride the Skunk Train through the forest, visit the fairy-tale-like town of Mendocino. A full day trip without rushing. This hidden gem away from the crowds offers perfect shots for your social feed.

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver.

SAVE THIS! ⭐️General: Do not get an electric car because we wasted quite a bit of time finding charging points and waiting for the Tesla to fully charge. ⭐️Antelope Canyons: It is mandatory to book a tour for the Canyons. We chose Upper instead of Lower because it’s more picturesque and mostly flat while in Lower, you had to descend and ascend equivalent to 3-4 flights of stairs with ladders during the 600 meters walk. We booked a 1.5 hour tour but it only lasted 1 hour because we took a ride to and from the meet up point. Book a photography tour instead if you’d like to spend more time taking pictures. 1 hour was too short! ⭐️Horseshoe Bend: The hike to the viewpoint is about 2.4km round trip. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. For the best photos, wide-angle lens are important to capture the entire bend in the river. ⭐️Grand Canyon: We chose South Rim instead of West Rim as the West is closer to Las Vegas so we could do a West Rim Helicopter ride next time we’re in Vegas. Besides, it is less developed and offers fewer amenities and viewpoints compared to the South Rim. It is $35 per private vehicle for a pass valid for 7 days. With 20 viewpoints accessible by vehicle, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Desert View are the best viewpoints. Use the free shuttle services available to explore different viewpoints without the hassle of driving and parking. #grouptravel

After eight years, I finally got to attend a World Cup match in person again. Woke up at 6 AM, had three eggs, a corn cob, and a protein shake with milk, then drove eight hours straight to Kansas City to catch the first group stage match. Every bit of it was worth it! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Group stage opener: 3-0—another unforgettable historic night. Eight years ago, I saw you score the only goal for that World Cup. Eight years later, I witnessed your first hat-trick on the World Cup stage ⚽️⚽️⚽️. The Argentina team led by Scaloni is completely different from the one eight years ago, but what hasn’t changed is you 🐐👑. Here’s my KC match experience 👇 Today’s match, being the first World Cup game hosted in Kansas City, was a letdown in terms of on-site experience. In one word: bad. In two words: very bad. In three words: extremely bad! 😤😤😤 1. Got in line for security at 5 PM sharp, but it took a full 45 minutes to get through. 2. The fan experience activities at the venue were poorly organized. Despite the large open space, the activities felt like a hastily thrown-together amateur setup. For example, the photo booth for creating player cards had only one machine, resulting in a long line. On average, it took two minutes per person, so unless you were willing to wait two hours, you wouldn’t get your turn! Think twice before joining this line! The face-painting stations for national flags only had two counters. I waited over ten minutes without moving an inch—absolutely frustrating. 3. Avoid choosing non-popular park & ride pickup points❕❕❕ I picked the Independence Center shuttle point to get to the stadium. After the match, when trying to return, shuttles to this less popular point were scarce. Meanwhile, multiple empty buses were heading to the Plaza shuttle point. I had to wait for over ten buses before finally getting one to Independence Center! The organizers didn’t allow buses to adjust routes to accommodate stranded fans at less popular points. Watching others leave while I was stuck there, exhausted and starving, left me speechless 🙄. I was too tired to even complain 😅. In conclusion, I now fully understand why some media outlets rated KC as the worst host city before the tournament 🫪.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Arches National Geologic Park is located in the town of Moab, Utah, USA. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Years of wind and time have sculpted the red rock landscape, creating a strong sense of wilderness desolation. It is also an unmissable natural landmark on any American West road trip. The entire park is connected by a scenic road linking all the attractions, allowing you to drive slowly along the route and stop freely for photos. The Delicate Arch is the soul landmark of the entire park and a symbol of Utah. At sunset, the orange-red rock walls are wrapped in the glow of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking scene 📸 The North and South Window Arches trail is gentle and easy, allowing you to check in at two adjacent stone arches with a short walk, making it stress-free for beginners and elders. Devil’s Garden hides the Landscape Arch, which spans 93 meters in length. The thin rock wall standing between the canyons offers a visually stunning experience. The balanced rock by the roadside stands firmly on a narrow stone base, perfect for snapping fun wilderness shots 🪨 Far from city light pollution in the desert area, the Milky Way clearly spreads above the arches at night. The quiet wilderness is perfect for slowing down and feeling the romantic sediment of geological time. ✅ Concise and Practical Guide at the End Transportation 1. Self-driving (the only recommended way) Base yourself in Moab town, just a 10-minute drive to the park entrance; from Salt Lake City, it’s a 4-hour drive, and from Zion National Park, about 3.5 hours by car. There is no public bus service inside the park. Sedans can access the main roads, while less-traveled gravel roads are better suited for SUVs. 2. Public Transportation There are almost no convenient public transport options, so relying on public transit is not recommended. Short-distance car rentals are an alternative. 🅿️ Parking Each trailhead has its own dedicated parking lot. Parking spaces are very tight during the peak season from May to October. Arriving before 7 AM increases your chances of finding a spot. Delicate Arch, Devil’s Garden, and the Window areas consume parking spaces the fastest. If parking is full, you can first visit smaller, less crowded viewpoints along the way and return later to avoid peak times. All parking in the park is free 🆓. Parking on the roadside or blocking traffic is prohibited. ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1. Delicate Arch: The park’s core landmark and prime sunset photo spot, with a simple distant viewing platform requiring no strenuous hiking. 2. North and South Window Arches: Low-difficulty leisure trail with two stone frame arches that are very photogenic. 3. Landscape Arch: The world’s longest natural stone arch, with a flat and easy trail. 4. Balanced Rock: A short roadside stop with a giant suspended rock that is highly recognizable. 5. Devil’s Garden Loop: An advanced hiking route unlocking multiple lesser-known arches in one go. ✅ Practical Tips 1. Duration: Allocate 3 hours for a relaxed self-driving visit; a full day is needed to complete the core hiking routes. 2. Best Time to Visit: April to May and September to October, when the weather is cool and you avoid the desert’s intense summer heat. 3. Entrance Fee: $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days. For better value, consider the $80 annual pass for all U.S. national parks. 4. Essentials: The desert sun is intense, so bring plenty of drinking water, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip hiking shoes. There are no restaurants inside the park, so stock up on snacks and water in Moab beforehand. 5. Precautions: Do not climb or touch the sandstone walls, as weathered rocks are prone to falling and collapsing.

🥅 The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan, I decided to join the fun. 🇺🇸 Surprisingly, Washington, D.C., isn't one of the host cities, so I chose Philadelphia and attended the cheapest group stage match: Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 vs Curaçao 🇨🇼. 🎫 World Cup tickets are quite expensive. This match was a less popular one, but even the furthest seats at the top cost $500 each. Parking fees were also steep—$150 for one match. The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans, and the atmosphere was electric. Every time a goal was scored, the crowd erupted in cheers. The final score was 2-0, with Curaçao eliminated. 💚 Something funny happened that day. I wore an NCT WINWIN basketball jersey (and even brought a matching plush doll and photo card). While eating, a foreigner came up to me and asked if my jersey was from NCT. I was surprised to see NCT still has recognition in the US, haha! 🥪 If you plan to eat, make sure to arrive early or eat beforehand. I arrived two hours early and almost missed the kickoff because the food lines were so long. First, you queue at a self-service machine to order, then wait in another line to pick up your food. The machines were overwhelmed, and each dish took about 30 minutes to order and even longer to prepare. I ended up with a beef sandwich, but it seemed like they had run out of ingredients—no sauce, no cheese, just cold, hard bread and beef slices. It was pretty tasteless 😅. 🍧 I regret not doing more research beforehand. I missed out on getting a wristband and commemorative ticket. I also found out too late that only tiny or transparent bags are allowed, so I had to walk back to the parking lot to leave my bag in the car. Later, I learned that each person can bring one bottle of water, while buying one inside costs $7. The open-air stadium was scorching, so bringing a small fan is a good idea. They sell shaved ice inside, and you can mix two flavors in one cup. It was refreshing in the heat, even though it was full of artificial coloring—I looked like an Avatar after eating it! 📍 Lincoln Financial Field • Philadelphia • Pennsylvania • USA 🇺🇸

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: · Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. · Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. · Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

📍Universal Studios Hollywood 🗺️No backtracking route 💡 Map is in the last picture: ⚠️ There are many escalators between the lower and upper parks. Elevators are far apart and require a shuttle, so it’s recommended to travel light. One person can carry the child while the other handles the stroller on the escalator. 【Lower Park】(Recommended to visit first thing in the morning) 1. 🌟 Super Nintendo World: Mario Kart 🏎️ and live-action Mario. You can buy an interactive wristband. The Mario restaurant requires an app reservation in advance, but there is actually a side entrance where you can enter and order directly. 2. 🦕 Jurassic World: The Ride, very likely to get soaked in the front row, remember to bring a raincoat. 3. ⚰️ The Mummy: Not suitable for small children. 4. 🤖 Transformers: Great 5D effects, but strong visual impact that might scare little kids. 【Upper Park】(Leisurely visit in the afternoon) 5. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The Simpsons: Various mini-games. 6. 🌟 Studio Tour: Take a bus 🚌 to see movie sets. Recommended to sit on the right window side for the best view! 7. 🪄 Harry Potter: The roller coaster and Forbidden Journey are thrilling, not suitable for young children, but there is child swap so parents can take turns riding. Must try the “Butterbeer,” which, despite the name, is a non-alcoholic sweet sparkling drink safe for kids. 8. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda: A short special effects movie with non-shaking seats available for parents holding children. 9&10.🐶 Minions / Secret Life of Pets: Cute style, kid-friendly. 11.🌊 WaterWorld Show: Stunning stunts. Seats are color-coded: blue for soaking wet, green for half wet, choose gray safe zone if with kids. 🚗 🅿️ Two tips to get $5 parking (save dozens of dollars) Method 1️⃣: Buy a same-day movie ticket at the CityWalk AMC theater via the AMC App ➡️ Tell the parking attendant you’re there for the movie, and parking fee instantly becomes $5 ➡️ Before the movie starts, cancel the ticket online in the app (with a $2-$3 handling fee). Total cost is under $8 for official parking. 👀 If there’s an issue with the ticket system, you must pay parking first, then buy a ticket on-site to get a parking rebate, and then cancel the movie ticket. Method 2️⃣: Navigate to 3913 Lankershim Blvd parking lot, $3 per day. Park and walk over the skybridge to take the free shuttle bus into the park. But theoretically, this is a subway station 🚉 parking lot, so there might be a risk of towing. Next time, I’ll share a detailed guide on the live-action Mario in Super Nintendo World.

I've been longing for this white horse for a long time! When I was in school, I saw my senior's graduation photo and thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely take a photo sitting on a horse's back. More than a year after graduation! I finally got the chance! I got on! Took the photo! No more regrets about USC! It's really impossible to get on with just one person helping. At least one more person is needed! One side needs the photographer to hold my hand, and the other side needs my husband to support my leg to get up (big thanks to these two helpers). Beautiful photos like this are made this way! “As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others.”

#bestplacestowatchfootball Beyond sports, the venue transforms into a gallery, featuring impressive contemporary artwork and a deep commitment to sustainability as a LEED-certified building utilizing solar panels and urban gardens. Fan-Friendly Concessions: One of the most praised aspects of the venue is its revolutionized "fan-first" pricing. Unlike typical major stadiums, food and drink options are surprisingly affordable, featuring reasonable pricing alongside popular vendors like Chick-fil-A, Tex-Mex options, and standard stadium favorites. Exceptional Accessibility: The stadium is top-tier when it comes to inclusion. Visitors commend the seamless wheelchair accessibility, highlighting dedicated staff assistance, easy floor-to-floor transit, and spacious, accommodating restroom facilities. Vibrant Atmosphere: Driven by a premium sound system and cutting-edge lighting, the environment during games and concerts is described as utterly electric, frequently prompting the entire crowd to stand up and dance. Logistical Disadvantages: While the interior experience receives universal acclaim, leaving the venue can present challenges. Reviewers note that navigating the surrounding traffic and exiting the paid parking garages can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour post-event due to a lack of directed traffic flow at the end of the night.

My journey in Spain began in the south. There was one small town on the itinerary that was a must-visit pilgrimage site—Ronda. A place worth traveling a thousand miles for must have its highlights: Some say Ronda is the "white town built on a cliff"; Some say Ronda is the "birthplace of modern bullfighting"; And some say Ronda is "the best place for a honeymoon or to elope." Ronda doesn’t have the famous cathedrals of Barcelona, nor the palaces of Seville. It only has cliffs. But those cliffs are enough to define it as the "elopement town" the world knows—astonishingly so. Throughout history, "elopement" may be one of the most romantic words in the world. The title of Spain’s "elopement town" is not self-proclaimed by Ronda but was lavishly praised by the great writer Ernest Hemingway: “If you want to honeymoon or elope in Spain, Ronda is the most suitable place; the entire city is filled with romantic scenery as far as the eye can see...” This small town, standing freely on the cliff edge❸❹❺, is unique in the world, just like the pure and unique love all lovers seek. The gorge carved by the Guadalevín River looks as if it was split by a divine broad axe⓬⓰⓱. The old and new towns lie on opposite sides, like a pair of lovers separated by the world, a hundred meters apart, gazing but unable to meet. Fortunately, the magnificent new bridge spanning the gorge builds a "magpie bridge" connecting them. Countless couples stand at the cliff’s edge waiting for sunrise and sunset, before them the magnificent cliffs, around them the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and doves fluttering by, beside them the lover they have chosen to hold hands with for life. Passing through the archway of the old bridge❶⓭⓮, you enter the old town, where narrow alleys wind like a maze, and every step might collide with history. The pebble-paved streets shine under the sun, white walls like freshly fallen snow, and every windowsill is adorned with flaming bougainvillea. As you walk through the alleys, you hear guitar chords, the notes wrapped in the scent of orange blossoms drifting toward the cliff—there, a couple presses their foreheads together, framed by white houses, looking like people stepped out of a painting. Hemingway, who once lived here, probably heard such strings too, which is why he said, “Here, as far as the eye can see, everything is romantic.” Ronda is also the birthplace of Spain’s national treasure, bullfighting, and home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The bronze bull sculpture raises its horns under the sun❽❾. In the past, bullfighting was an activity exclusive to the nobility, who fought bulls on horseback. Until one nobleman, lacking skill, was thrown off by a bull, and at that life-or-death moment, a commoner rushed into the ring, waving his hat to distract the bull. This act not only saved the nobleman but also ushered in a new era of bullfighters fighting on foot at Ronda’s bullring. In this 1785 circular arena, it is said that Pedro Romero fought 5,000 bulls over 28 years without a scratch. Today, the benches still hold the warmth of past years, sunlight weaves the shadows of fences on the yellow sand, like a bullfighter’s red cape spread into a sea. I look up at the weathered bronze sculptures by the ring, as if hearing the cheers of the crowd mixed with the low moans of bulls, sinking into this thick, intense air. Ronda’s most beautiful moment is dusk. I wanted to take a photo of the "golden light through the arch" by the new bridge❿⓫, but found the cliffs to be the most magnificent backdrop, the sunset a natural romantic filter, even silence turning into love words. Built on a crack, it achieves unparalleled wholeness; bearing the heavy history of bullfighting and war, it exudes the ultimate romantic aura. It teaches the preciousness of reliance through the cliff’s steepness; it highlights the nobility of love through the depth of the gorge. Before coming, I always thought the "elopement city" was a distant dream, a romance too good to be true like in novels. But when I actually stepped on the flower-shadowed old town streets and touched the stone texture of the new bridge, I suddenly laughed out loud: It turns out those gentlenesses I dared not hope for Had long been blown by the wind on this cliff, becoming the scenery at my feet; And it was Ronda’s light that filled my arms with orange gold.

Wet sea glass becomes translucent and reflective, perfect for atmospheric film-style photos. 🦋 Fun experiences Hunt for smooth sea glass on the tidal flats, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, ride the vintage train through redwood forests, and capture breathtaking ocean views from the cliffs. 🍤 Local food options In Fort Bragg town, enjoy fresh seafood, classic clam chowder, American burgers with craft beer, authentic Mexican tacos, or bring your own ingredients for a picnic by the sea. 🏡 Two types of accommodations ▫️ Fort Bragg town: Well-developed with plenty of sea view vacation rentals and convenient daily shopping. ▫️ Mendocino town: Rich in artistic atmosphere with stylish seaside cabins, ideal for a slow-paced, immersive vacation. 💡 Essential travel tips The beach is covered with glass shards, so wear non-slip, durable hiking shoes to protect your feet from cuts. Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

Who would have thought that Northern California hides this healing Glass Beach? It used to be a century-old landfill, but after decades of ocean waves washing over it, the sharp broken glass has all been polished into smooth colorful stones, covering the entire coastline. Under the sunlight, it sparkles like a spilled candy jar 💎 📍Exact address: Fort Bragg, CA 95437 A 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco, heading north along Highway CA-1, the coastal scenery along the way is truly soothing. The best time to visit is between 3-5 PM when the soft light makes the glass stones look transparent and bright. Be sure to time your visit with low tide so that the large patches of colorful gems are fully exposed, creating a perfect atmosphere for photos. Two must-shoot spots to remember: a panoramic aerial view of Rainbow Beach with stunning color layers; and by the sea cave waiting for sunlight to refract through the waves, creating amazing light and shadow effects. Travel tips: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It’s windy by the sea, so bring a light jacket. Absolutely do not take any glass stones—leave them for others to enjoy. After checking out the beach, you can also plan nearby activities: ride the Skunk Train through the forest, visit the fairy-tale-like town of Mendocino. A full day trip without rushing. This hidden gem away from the crowds offers perfect shots for your social feed.

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere. This is Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the soul of the town—Queen Street—is definitely the pinnacle of short trips in Canada!

SAVE THIS! ⭐️General: Do not get an electric car because we wasted quite a bit of time finding charging points and waiting for the Tesla to fully charge. ⭐️Antelope Canyons: It is mandatory to book a tour for the Canyons. We chose Upper instead of Lower because it’s more picturesque and mostly flat while in Lower, you had to descend and ascend equivalent to 3-4 flights of stairs with ladders during the 600 meters walk. We booked a 1.5 hour tour but it only lasted 1 hour because we took a ride to and from the meet up point. Book a photography tour instead if you’d like to spend more time taking pictures. 1 hour was too short! ⭐️Horseshoe Bend: The hike to the viewpoint is about 2.4km round trip. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. For the best photos, wide-angle lens are important to capture the entire bend in the river. ⭐️Grand Canyon: We chose South Rim instead of West Rim as the West is closer to Las Vegas so we could do a West Rim Helicopter ride next time we’re in Vegas. Besides, it is less developed and offers fewer amenities and viewpoints compared to the South Rim. It is $35 per private vehicle for a pass valid for 7 days. With 20 viewpoints accessible by vehicle, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Desert View are the best viewpoints. Use the free shuttle services available to explore different viewpoints without the hassle of driving and parking. #grouptravel

After eight years, I finally got to attend a World Cup match in person again. Woke up at 6 AM, had three eggs, a corn cob, and a protein shake with milk, then drove eight hours straight to Kansas City to catch the first group stage match. Every bit of it was worth it! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Group stage opener: 3-0—another unforgettable historic night. Eight years ago, I saw you score the only goal for that World Cup. Eight years later, I witnessed your first hat-trick on the World Cup stage ⚽️⚽️⚽️. The Argentina team led by Scaloni is completely different from the one eight years ago, but what hasn’t changed is you 🐐👑. Here’s my KC match experience 👇 Today’s match, being the first World Cup game hosted in Kansas City, was a letdown in terms of on-site experience. In one word: bad. In two words: very bad. In three words: extremely bad! 😤😤😤 1. Got in line for security at 5 PM sharp, but it took a full 45 minutes to get through. 2. The fan experience activities at the venue were poorly organized. Despite the large open space, the activities felt like a hastily thrown-together amateur setup. For example, the photo booth for creating player cards had only one machine, resulting in a long line. On average, it took two minutes per person, so unless you were willing to wait two hours, you wouldn’t get your turn! Think twice before joining this line! The face-painting stations for national flags only had two counters. I waited over ten minutes without moving an inch—absolutely frustrating. 3. Avoid choosing non-popular park & ride pickup points❕❕❕ I picked the Independence Center shuttle point to get to the stadium. After the match, when trying to return, shuttles to this less popular point were scarce. Meanwhile, multiple empty buses were heading to the Plaza shuttle point. I had to wait for over ten buses before finally getting one to Independence Center! The organizers didn’t allow buses to adjust routes to accommodate stranded fans at less popular points. Watching others leave while I was stuck there, exhausted and starving, left me speechless 🙄. I was too tired to even complain 😅. In conclusion, I now fully understand why some media outlets rated KC as the worst host city before the tournament 🫪.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Arches National Geologic Park is located in the town of Moab, Utah, USA. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Years of wind and time have sculpted the red rock landscape, creating a strong sense of wilderness desolation. It is also an unmissable natural landmark on any American West road trip. The entire park is connected by a scenic road linking all the attractions, allowing you to drive slowly along the route and stop freely for photos. The Delicate Arch is the soul landmark of the entire park and a symbol of Utah. At sunset, the orange-red rock walls are wrapped in the glow of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking scene 📸 The North and South Window Arches trail is gentle and easy, allowing you to check in at two adjacent stone arches with a short walk, making it stress-free for beginners and elders. Devil’s Garden hides the Landscape Arch, which spans 93 meters in length. The thin rock wall standing between the canyons offers a visually stunning experience. The balanced rock by the roadside stands firmly on a narrow stone base, perfect for snapping fun wilderness shots 🪨 Far from city light pollution in the desert area, the Milky Way clearly spreads above the arches at night. The quiet wilderness is perfect for slowing down and feeling the romantic sediment of geological time. ✅ Concise and Practical Guide at the End Transportation 1. Self-driving (the only recommended way) Base yourself in Moab town, just a 10-minute drive to the park entrance; from Salt Lake City, it’s a 4-hour drive, and from Zion National Park, about 3.5 hours by car. There is no public bus service inside the park. Sedans can access the main roads, while less-traveled gravel roads are better suited for SUVs. 2. Public Transportation There are almost no convenient public transport options, so relying on public transit is not recommended. Short-distance car rentals are an alternative. 🅿️ Parking Each trailhead has its own dedicated parking lot. Parking spaces are very tight during the peak season from May to October. Arriving before 7 AM increases your chances of finding a spot. Delicate Arch, Devil’s Garden, and the Window areas consume parking spaces the fastest. If parking is full, you can first visit smaller, less crowded viewpoints along the way and return later to avoid peak times. All parking in the park is free 🆓. Parking on the roadside or blocking traffic is prohibited. ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1. Delicate Arch: The park’s core landmark and prime sunset photo spot, with a simple distant viewing platform requiring no strenuous hiking. 2. North and South Window Arches: Low-difficulty leisure trail with two stone frame arches that are very photogenic. 3. Landscape Arch: The world’s longest natural stone arch, with a flat and easy trail. 4. Balanced Rock: A short roadside stop with a giant suspended rock that is highly recognizable. 5. Devil’s Garden Loop: An advanced hiking route unlocking multiple lesser-known arches in one go. ✅ Practical Tips 1. Duration: Allocate 3 hours for a relaxed self-driving visit; a full day is needed to complete the core hiking routes. 2. Best Time to Visit: April to May and September to October, when the weather is cool and you avoid the desert’s intense summer heat. 3. Entrance Fee: $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days. For better value, consider the $80 annual pass for all U.S. national parks. 4. Essentials: The desert sun is intense, so bring plenty of drinking water, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip hiking shoes. There are no restaurants inside the park, so stock up on snacks and water in Moab beforehand. 5. Precautions: Do not climb or touch the sandstone walls, as weathered rocks are prone to falling and collapsing.

🥅 The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan, I decided to join the fun. 🇺🇸 Surprisingly, Washington, D.C., isn't one of the host cities, so I chose Philadelphia and attended the cheapest group stage match: Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 vs Curaçao 🇨🇼. 🎫 World Cup tickets are quite expensive. This match was a less popular one, but even the furthest seats at the top cost $500 each. Parking fees were also steep—$150 for one match. The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans, and the atmosphere was electric. Every time a goal was scored, the crowd erupted in cheers. The final score was 2-0, with Curaçao eliminated. 💚 Something funny happened that day. I wore an NCT WINWIN basketball jersey (and even brought a matching plush doll and photo card). While eating, a foreigner came up to me and asked if my jersey was from NCT. I was surprised to see NCT still has recognition in the US, haha! 🥪 If you plan to eat, make sure to arrive early or eat beforehand. I arrived two hours early and almost missed the kickoff because the food lines were so long. First, you queue at a self-service machine to order, then wait in another line to pick up your food. The machines were overwhelmed, and each dish took about 30 minutes to order and even longer to prepare. I ended up with a beef sandwich, but it seemed like they had run out of ingredients—no sauce, no cheese, just cold, hard bread and beef slices. It was pretty tasteless 😅. 🍧 I regret not doing more research beforehand. I missed out on getting a wristband and commemorative ticket. I also found out too late that only tiny or transparent bags are allowed, so I had to walk back to the parking lot to leave my bag in the car. Later, I learned that each person can bring one bottle of water, while buying one inside costs $7. The open-air stadium was scorching, so bringing a small fan is a good idea. They sell shaved ice inside, and you can mix two flavors in one cup. It was refreshing in the heat, even though it was full of artificial coloring—I looked like an Avatar after eating it! 📍 Lincoln Financial Field • Philadelphia • Pennsylvania • USA 🇺🇸

No way you can finish it alone. · Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. · Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

📍Universal Studios Hollywood 🗺️No backtracking route 💡 Map is in the last picture: ⚠️ There are many escalators between the lower and upper parks. Elevators are far apart and require a shuttle, so it’s recommended to travel light. One person can carry the child while the other handles the stroller on the escalator. 【Lower Park】(Recommended to visit first thing in the morning) 1. 🌟 Super Nintendo World: Mario Kart 🏎️ and live-action Mario. You can buy an interactive wristband. The Mario restaurant requires an app reservation in advance, but there is actually a side entrance where you can enter and order directly. 2. 🦕 Jurassic World: The Ride, very likely to get soaked in the front row, remember to bring a raincoat. 3. ⚰️ The Mummy: Not suitable for small children. 4. 🤖 Transformers: Great 5D effects, but strong visual impact that might scare little kids. 【Upper Park】(Leisurely visit in the afternoon) 5. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The Simpsons: Various mini-games. 6. 🌟 Studio Tour: Take a bus 🚌 to see movie sets. Recommended to sit on the right window side for the best view! 7. 🪄 Harry Potter: The roller coaster and Forbidden Journey are thrilling, not suitable for young children, but there is child swap so parents can take turns riding. Must try the “Butterbeer,” which, despite the name, is a non-alcoholic sweet sparkling drink safe for kids. 8. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda: A short special effects movie with non-shaking seats available for parents holding children. 9&10.🐶 Minions / Secret Life of Pets: Cute style, kid-friendly. 11.🌊 WaterWorld Show: Stunning stunts. Seats are color-coded: blue for soaking wet, green for half wet, choose gray safe zone if with kids. 🚗 🅿️ Two tips to get $5 parking (save dozens of dollars) Method 1️⃣: Buy a same-day movie ticket at the CityWalk AMC theater via the AMC App ➡️ Tell the parking attendant you’re there for the movie, and parking fee instantly becomes $5 ➡️ Before the movie starts, cancel the ticket online in the app (with a $2-$3 handling fee). Total cost is under $8 for official parking. 👀 If there’s an issue with the ticket system, you must pay parking first, then buy a ticket on-site to get a parking rebate, and then cancel the movie ticket. Method 2️⃣: Navigate to 3913 Lankershim Blvd parking lot, $3 per day. Park and walk over the skybridge to take the free shuttle bus into the park. But theoretically, this is a subway station 🚉 parking lot, so there might be a risk of towing. Next time, I’ll share a detailed guide on the live-action Mario in Super Nintendo World.

I've been longing for this white horse for a long time! When I was in school, I saw my senior's graduation photo and thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely take a photo sitting on a horse's back. More than a year after graduation! I finally got the chance! I got on! Took the photo! No more regrets about USC! It's really impossible to get on with just one person helping. At least one more person is needed! One side needs the photographer to hold my hand, and the other side needs my husband to support my leg to get up (big thanks to these two helpers). Beautiful photos like this are made this way! “As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others.”

#bestplacestowatchfootball Beyond sports, the venue transforms into a gallery, featuring impressive contemporary artwork and a deep commitment to sustainability as a LEED-certified building utilizing solar panels and urban gardens.

Exceptional Accessibility: The stadium is top-tier when it comes to inclusion.

Vibrant Atmosphere: Driven by a premium sound system and cutting-edge lighting, the environment during games and concerts is described as utterly electric, frequently prompting the entire crowd to stand up and dance. Logistical Disadvantages: While the interior experience receives universal acclaim, leaving the venue can present challenges. Reviewers note that navigating the surrounding traffic and exiting the paid parking garages can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour post-event due to a lack of directed traffic flow at the end of the night.

My journey in Spain began in the south. There was one small town on the itinerary that was a must-visit pilgrimage site—Ronda. A place worth traveling a thousand miles for must have its highlights: Some say Ronda is the "white town built on a cliff"; Some say Ronda is the "birthplace of modern bullfighting"; And some say Ronda is "the best place for a honeymoon or to elope." Ronda doesn’t have the famous cathedrals of Barcelona, nor the palaces of Seville. It only has cliffs. But those cliffs are enough to define it as the "elopement town" the world knows—astonishingly so. Throughout history, "elopement" may be one of the most romantic words in the world. The title of Spain’s "elopement town" is not self-proclaimed by Ronda but was lavishly praised by the great writer Ernest Hemingway: “If you want to honeymoon or elope in Spain, Ronda is the most suitable place; the entire city is filled with romantic scenery as far as the eye can see...” This small town, standing freely on the cliff edge❸❹❺, is unique in the world, just like the pure and unique love all lovers seek. The gorge carved by the Guadalevín River looks as if it was split by a divine broad axe⓬⓰⓱. The old and new towns lie on opposite sides, like a pair of lovers separated by the world, a hundred meters apart, gazing but unable to meet. Fortunately, the magnificent new bridge spanning the gorge builds a "magpie bridge" connecting them. Countless couples stand at the cliff’s edge waiting for sunrise and sunset, before them the magnificent cliffs, around them the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and doves fluttering by, beside them the lover they have chosen to hold hands with for life. Passing through the archway of the old bridge❶⓭⓮, you enter the old town, where narrow alleys wind like a maze, and every step might collide with history. The pebble-paved streets shine under the sun, white walls like freshly fallen snow, and every windowsill is adorned with flaming bougainvillea. As you walk through the alleys, you hear guitar chords, the notes wrapped in the scent of orange blossoms drifting toward the cliff—there, a couple presses their foreheads together, framed by white houses, looking like people stepped out of a painting. Hemingway, who once lived here, probably heard such strings too, which is why he said, “Here, as far as the eye can see, everything is romantic.” Ronda is also the birthplace of Spain’s national treasure, bullfighting, and home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The bronze bull sculpture raises its horns under the sun❽❾. In the past, bullfighting was an activity exclusive to the nobility, who fought bulls on horseback. Until one nobleman, lacking skill, was thrown off by a bull, and at that life-or-death moment, a commoner rushed into the ring, waving his hat to distract the bull. This act not only saved the nobleman but also ushered in a new era of bullfighters fighting on foot at Ronda’s bullring. In this 1785 circular arena, it is said that Pedro Romero fought 5,000 bulls over 28 years without a scratch. Today, the benches still hold the warmth of past years, sunlight weaves the shadows of fences on the yellow sand, like a bullfighter’s red cape spread into a sea. I look up at the weathered bronze sculptures by the ring, as if hearing the cheers of the crowd mixed with the low moans of bulls, sinking into this thick, intense air. Ronda’s most beautiful moment is dusk. I wanted to take a photo of the "golden light through the arch" by the new bridge❿⓫, but found the cliffs to be the most magnificent backdrop, the sunset a natural romantic filter, even silence turning into love words. Built on a crack, it achieves unparalleled wholeness; bearing the heavy history of bullfighting and war, it exudes the ultimate romantic aura. It teaches the preciousness of reliance through the cliff’s steepness; it highlights the nobility of love through the depth of the gorge. Before coming, I always thought the "elopement city" was a distant dream, a romance too good to be true like in novels. But when I actually stepped on the flower-shadowed old town streets and touched the stone texture of the new bridge, I suddenly laughed out loud: It turns out those gentlenesses I dared not hope for Had long been blown by the wind on this cliff, becoming the scenery at my feet; And it was Ronda’s light that filled my arms with orange gold.

💎Overseas secret wild ambassador | California Fort Bragg glass beach film-style travel guide Destination: Glass Beach at MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg, California. Once a city dump site, decades of ocean waves have polished it into a coast of sparkling sea glass. A must-stop natural hidden gem on the Highway 1 road trip. 🚗 Two travel options Drive north from San Francisco along CA-1 Highway. The drive takes about 3.5 hours with Pacific cliffside ocean views all along the way, where you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. There is a small free parking lot at the beach’s end. Parking is limited during peak season, so try to arrive before 9 AM. Paid parking in the state park costs US$10 per day. If you don’t have a car, you can take the Greyhound bus to Fort Bragg town, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. The total trip takes 6 to 8 hours. Local carpool or day tours are also options. 📸 Four main highlights ✨ Rainbow sea glass beach: White and green sea glass are most common. Red and blue are rare and only fully visible at low tide when the entire tidal flat is exposed. The coast is divided into three beach areas. Beach 3 has the largest amount of sea glass and the best viewing. A gentle coastal boardwalk lets you see small marine creatures like crabs and sea anemones in tide pools. Stop by the Skunk vintage forest train and the colorful seaside fairy-tale town of Mendocino. The golden hour from 3 PM to 5 PM offers soft backlighting. Wet sea glass becomes translucent and reflective, perfect for atmospheric film-style photos. 🦋 Fun experiences Hunt for smooth sea glass on the tidal flats, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, ride the vintage train through redwood forests, and capture breathtaking ocean views from the cliffs. 🍤 Local food options In Fort Bragg town, enjoy fresh seafood, classic clam chowder, American burgers with craft beer, authentic Mexican tacos, or bring your own ingredients for a picnic by the sea. 🏡 Two types of accommodations ▫️ Fort Bragg town: Well-developed with plenty of sea view vacation rentals and convenient daily shopping. ▫️ Mendocino town: Rich in artistic atmosphere with stylish seaside cabins, ideal for a slow-paced, immersive vacation. 💡 Essential travel tips The beach is covered with glass shards, so wear non-slip, durable hiking shoes to protect your feet from cuts. Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

Who would have thought that Northern California hides this healing Glass Beach? It used to be a century-old landfill, but after decades of ocean waves washing over it, the sharp broken glass has all been polished into smooth colorful stones, covering the entire coastline. Under the sunlight, it sparkles like a spilled candy jar 💎 📍Exact address: Fort Bragg, CA 95437 A 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco, heading north along Highway CA-1, the coastal scenery along the way is truly soothing. The best time to visit is between 3-5 PM when the soft light makes the glass stones look transparent and bright. Be sure to time your visit with low tide so that the large patches of colorful gems are fully exposed, creating a perfect atmosphere for photos. Two must-shoot spots to remember: a panoramic aerial view of Rainbow Beach with stunning color layers; and by the sea cave waiting for sunlight to refract through the waves, creating amazing light and shadow effects. Travel tips: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It’s windy by the sea, so bring a light jacket. Absolutely do not take any glass stones—leave them for others to enjoy.

This hidden gem away from the crowds offers perfect shots for your social feed.

SAVE THIS! ⭐️General: Do not get an electric car because we wasted quite a bit of time finding charging points and waiting for the Tesla to fully charge. ⭐️Antelope Canyons: It is mandatory to book a tour for the Canyons. We chose Upper instead of Lower because it’s more picturesque and mostly flat while in Lower, you had to descend and ascend equivalent to 3-4 flights of stairs with ladders during the 600 meters walk. We booked a 1.5 hour tour but it only lasted 1 hour because we took a ride to and from the meet up point. Book a photography tour instead if you’d like to spend more time taking pictures. 1 hour was too short! ⭐️Horseshoe Bend: The hike to the viewpoint is about 2.4km round trip. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. For the best photos, wide-angle lens are important to capture the entire bend in the river. ⭐️Grand Canyon: We chose South Rim instead of West Rim as the West is closer to Las Vegas so we could do a West Rim Helicopter ride next time we’re in Vegas. Besides, it is less developed and offers fewer amenities and viewpoints compared to the South Rim. It is $35 per private vehicle for a pass valid for 7 days. With 20 viewpoints accessible by vehicle, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Desert View are the best viewpoints. Use the free shuttle services available to explore different viewpoints without the hassle of driving and parking. #grouptravel

After eight years, I finally got to attend a World Cup match in person again. Woke up at 6 AM, had three eggs, a corn cob, and a protein shake with milk, then drove eight hours straight to Kansas City to catch the first group stage match. Every bit of it was worth it! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Group stage opener: 3-0—another unforgettable historic night. Eight years ago, I saw you score the only goal for that World Cup. Eight years later, I witnessed your first hat-trick on the World Cup stage ⚽️⚽️⚽️. The Argentina team led by Scaloni is completely different from the one eight years ago, but what hasn’t changed is you 🐐👑. Here’s my KC match experience 👇 Today’s match, being the first World Cup game hosted in Kansas City, was a letdown in terms of on-site experience. In one word: bad. In two words: very bad. In three words: extremely bad! 😤😤😤 1. Got in line for security at 5 PM sharp, but it took a full 45 minutes to get through. 2. The fan experience activities at the venue were poorly organized. Despite the large open space, the activities felt like a hastily thrown-together amateur setup. For example, the photo booth for creating player cards had only one machine, resulting in a long line. On average, it took two minutes per person, so unless you were willing to wait two hours, you wouldn’t get your turn! Think twice before joining this line! The face-painting stations for national flags only had two counters. I waited over ten minutes without moving an inch—absolutely frustrating. 3. Avoid choosing non-popular park & ride pickup points❕❕❕ I picked the Independence Center shuttle point to get to the stadium. After the match, when trying to return, shuttles to this less popular point were scarce. Meanwhile, multiple empty buses were heading to the Plaza shuttle point. I had to wait for over ten buses before finally getting one to Independence Center! The organizers didn’t allow buses to adjust routes to accommodate stranded fans at less popular points. Watching others leave while I was stuck there, exhausted and starving, left me speechless 🙄. I was too tired to even complain 😅. In conclusion, I now fully understand why some media outlets rated KC as the worst host city before the tournament 🫪.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Arches National Geologic Park is located in the town of Moab, Utah, USA. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Years of wind and time have sculpted the red rock landscape, creating a strong sense of wilderness desolation. It is also an unmissable natural landmark on any American West road trip. The entire park is connected by a scenic road linking all the attractions, allowing you to drive slowly along the route and stop freely for photos. The Delicate Arch is the soul landmark of the entire park and a symbol of Utah. At sunset, the orange-red rock walls are wrapped in the glow of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking scene 📸 The North and South Window Arches trail is gentle and easy, allowing you to check in at two adjacent stone arches with a short walk, making it stress-free for beginners and elders. Devil’s Garden hides the Landscape Arch, which spans 93 meters in length. The thin rock wall standing between the canyons offers a visually stunning experience. The balanced rock by the roadside stands firmly on a narrow stone base, perfect for snapping fun wilderness shots 🪨 Far from city light pollution in the desert area, the Milky Way clearly spreads above the arches at night. The quiet wilderness is perfect for slowing down and feeling the romantic sediment of geological time. ✅ Concise and Practical Guide at the End Transportation 1. Self-driving (the only recommended way) Base yourself in Moab town, just a 10-minute drive to the park entrance; from Salt Lake City, it’s a 4-hour drive, and from Zion National Park, about 3.5 hours by car. There is no public bus service inside the park. Sedans can access the main roads, while less-traveled gravel roads are better suited for SUVs. 2. Public Transportation There are almost no convenient public transport options, so relying on public transit is not recommended. Short-distance car rentals are an alternative. 🅿️ Parking Each trailhead has its own dedicated parking lot. Parking spaces are very tight during the peak season from May to October. Arriving before 7 AM increases your chances of finding a spot. Delicate Arch, Devil’s Garden, and the Window areas consume parking spaces the fastest. If parking is full, you can first visit smaller, less crowded viewpoints along the way and return later to avoid peak times. All parking in the park is free 🆓. Parking on the roadside or blocking traffic is prohibited. ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1. Delicate Arch: The park’s core landmark and prime sunset photo spot, with a simple distant viewing platform requiring no strenuous hiking. 2. North and South Window Arches: Low-difficulty leisure trail with two stone frame arches that are very photogenic. 3. Landscape Arch: The world’s longest natural stone arch, with a flat and easy trail. 4. Balanced Rock: A short roadside stop with a giant suspended rock that is highly recognizable. 5. Devil’s Garden Loop: An advanced hiking route unlocking multiple lesser-known arches in one go. ✅ Practical Tips 1. Duration: Allocate 3 hours for a relaxed self-driving visit; a full day is needed to complete the core hiking routes. 2. Best Time to Visit: April to May and September to October, when the weather is cool and you avoid the desert’s intense summer heat. 3. Entrance Fee: $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days. For better value, consider the $80 annual pass for all U.S. national parks. 4. Essentials: The desert sun is intense, so bring plenty of drinking water, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip hiking shoes. There are no restaurants inside the park, so stock up on snacks and water in Moab beforehand. 5. Precautions: Do not climb or touch the sandstone walls, as weathered rocks are prone to falling and collapsing.

🥅 The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan, I decided to join the fun. 🇺🇸 Surprisingly, Washington, D.C., isn't one of the host cities, so I chose Philadelphia and attended the cheapest group stage match: Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 vs Curaçao 🇨🇼. 🎫 World Cup tickets are quite expensive. This match was a less popular one, but even the furthest seats at the top cost $500 each. Parking fees were also steep—$150 for one match. The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans, and the atmosphere was electric. Every time a goal was scored, the crowd erupted in cheers. The final score was 2-0, with Curaçao eliminated. 💚 Something funny happened that day. I wore an NCT WINWIN basketball jersey (and even brought a matching plush doll and photo card). While eating, a foreigner came up to me and asked if my jersey was from NCT. I was surprised to see NCT still has recognition in the US, haha! 🥪 If you plan to eat, make sure to arrive early or eat beforehand. I arrived two hours early and almost missed the kickoff because the food lines were so long. First, you queue at a self-service machine to order, then wait in another line to pick up your food. The machines were overwhelmed, and each dish took about 30 minutes to order and even longer to prepare. I ended up with a beef sandwich, but it seemed like they had run out of ingredients—no sauce, no cheese, just cold, hard bread and beef slices. It was pretty tasteless 😅. 🍧 I regret not doing more research beforehand. I missed out on getting a wristband and commemorative ticket. I also found out too late that only tiny or transparent bags are allowed, so I had to walk back to the parking lot to leave my bag in the car. Later, I learned that each person can bring one bottle of water, while buying one inside costs $7. The open-air stadium was scorching, so bringing a small fan is a good idea. They sell shaved ice inside, and you can mix two flavors in one cup. It was refreshing in the heat, even though it was full of artificial coloring—I looked like an Avatar after eating it! 📍 Lincoln Financial Field • Philadelphia • Pennsylvania • USA 🇺🇸

No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

📍Universal Studios Hollywood 🗺️No backtracking route 💡 Map is in the last picture: ⚠️ There are many escalators between the lower and upper parks. Elevators are far apart and require a shuttle, so it’s recommended to travel light. One person can carry the child while the other handles the stroller on the escalator. 【Lower Park】(Recommended to visit first thing in the morning) 1. 🌟 Super Nintendo World: Mario Kart 🏎️ and live-action Mario. You can buy an interactive wristband. The Mario restaurant requires an app reservation in advance, but there is actually a side entrance where you can enter and order directly. 2. 🦕 Jurassic World: The Ride, very likely to get soaked in the front row, remember to bring a raincoat. 3. ⚰️ The Mummy: Not suitable for small children. 4. 🤖 Transformers: Great 5D effects, but strong visual impact that might scare little kids. 【Upper Park】(Leisurely visit in the afternoon) 5. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The Simpsons: Various mini-games. 6. 🌟 Studio Tour: Take a bus 🚌 to see movie sets. Recommended to sit on the right window side for the best view! 7. 🪄 Harry Potter: The roller coaster and Forbidden Journey are thrilling, not suitable for young children, but there is child swap so parents can take turns riding. Must try the “Butterbeer,” which, despite the name, is a non-alcoholic sweet sparkling drink safe for kids. 8. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda: A short special effects movie with non-shaking seats available for parents holding children. 9&10.🐶 Minions / Secret Life of Pets: Cute style, kid-friendly. 11.🌊 WaterWorld Show: Stunning stunts. Seats are color-coded: blue for soaking wet, green for half wet, choose gray safe zone if with kids. 🚗 🅿️ Two tips to get $5 parking (save dozens of dollars) Method 1️⃣: Buy a same-day movie ticket at the CityWalk AMC theater via the AMC App ➡️ Tell the parking attendant you’re there for the movie, and parking fee instantly becomes $5 ➡️ Before the movie starts, cancel the ticket online in the app (with a $2-$3 handling fee). Total cost is under $8 for official parking. 👀 If there’s an issue with the ticket system, you must pay parking first, then buy a ticket on-site to get a parking rebate, and then cancel the movie ticket. Method 2️⃣: Navigate to 3913 Lankershim Blvd parking lot, $3 per day. Park and walk over the skybridge to take the free shuttle bus into the park. But theoretically, this is a subway station 🚉 parking lot, so there might be a risk of towing. Next time, I’ll share a detailed guide on the live-action Mario in Super Nintendo World.

I've been longing for this white horse for a long time! When I was in school, I saw my senior's graduation photo and thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely take a photo sitting on a horse's back. More than a year after graduation! I finally got the chance! I got on! Took the photo! No more regrets about USC! It's really impossible to get on with just one person helping. At least one more person is needed! One side needs the photographer to hold my hand, and the other side needs my husband to support my leg to get up (big thanks to these two helpers). Beautiful photos like this are made this way! “As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others.”

#bestplacestowatchfootball Beyond sports, the venue transforms into a gallery, featuring impressive contemporary artwork and a deep commitment to sustainability as a LEED-certified building utilizing solar panels and urban gardens.

Exceptional Accessibility: The stadium is top-tier when it comes to inclusion.

Vibrant Atmosphere: Driven by a premium sound system and cutting-edge lighting, the environment during games and concerts is described as utterly electric, frequently prompting the entire crowd to stand up and dance. Logistical Disadvantages: While the interior experience receives universal acclaim, leaving the venue can present challenges. Reviewers note that navigating the surrounding traffic and exiting the paid parking garages can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour post-event due to a lack of directed traffic flow at the end of the night.

My journey in Spain began in the south. There was one small town on the itinerary that was a must-visit pilgrimage site—Ronda. A place worth traveling a thousand miles for must have its highlights: Some say Ronda is the "white town built on a cliff"; Some say Ronda is the "birthplace of modern bullfighting"; And some say Ronda is "the best place for a honeymoon or to elope." Ronda doesn’t have the famous cathedrals of Barcelona, nor the palaces of Seville. It only has cliffs. But those cliffs are enough to define it as the "elopement town" the world knows—astonishingly so. Throughout history, "elopement" may be one of the most romantic words in the world. The title of Spain’s "elopement town" is not self-proclaimed by Ronda but was lavishly praised by the great writer Ernest Hemingway: “If you want to honeymoon or elope in Spain, Ronda is the most suitable place; the entire city is filled with romantic scenery as far as the eye can see...” This small town, standing freely on the cliff edge❸❹❺, is unique in the world, just like the pure and unique love all lovers seek. The gorge carved by the Guadalevín River looks as if it was split by a divine broad axe⓬⓰⓱. The old and new towns lie on opposite sides, like a pair of lovers separated by the world, a hundred meters apart, gazing but unable to meet. Fortunately, the magnificent new bridge spanning the gorge builds a "magpie bridge" connecting them. Countless couples stand at the cliff’s edge waiting for sunrise and sunset, before them the magnificent cliffs, around them the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and doves fluttering by, beside them the lover they have chosen to hold hands with for life. Passing through the archway of the old bridge❶⓭⓮, you enter the old town, where narrow alleys wind like a maze, and every step might collide with history. The pebble-paved streets shine under the sun, white walls like freshly fallen snow, and every windowsill is adorned with flaming bougainvillea. As you walk through the alleys, you hear guitar chords, the notes wrapped in the scent of orange blossoms drifting toward the cliff—there, a couple presses their foreheads together, framed by white houses, looking like people stepped out of a painting. Hemingway, who once lived here, probably heard such strings too, which is why he said, “Here, as far as the eye can see, everything is romantic.” Ronda is also the birthplace of Spain’s national treasure, bullfighting, and home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The bronze bull sculpture raises its horns under the sun❽❾. In the past, bullfighting was an activity exclusive to the nobility, who fought bulls on horseback. Until one nobleman, lacking skill, was thrown off by a bull, and at that life-or-death moment, a commoner rushed into the ring, waving his hat to distract the bull. This act not only saved the nobleman but also ushered in a new era of bullfighters fighting on foot at Ronda’s bullring. In this 1785 circular arena, it is said that Pedro Romero fought 5,000 bulls over 28 years without a scratch. Today, the benches still hold the warmth of past years, sunlight weaves the shadows of fences on the yellow sand, like a bullfighter’s red cape spread into a sea. I look up at the weathered bronze sculptures by the ring, as if hearing the cheers of the crowd mixed with the low moans of bulls, sinking into this thick, intense air. Ronda’s most beautiful moment is dusk. I wanted to take a photo of the "golden light through the arch" by the new bridge❿⓫, but found the cliffs to be the most magnificent backdrop, the sunset a natural romantic filter, even silence turning into love words. Built on a crack, it achieves unparalleled wholeness; bearing the heavy history of bullfighting and war, it exudes the ultimate romantic aura. It teaches the preciousness of reliance through the cliff’s steepness; it highlights the nobility of love through the depth of the gorge. Before coming, I always thought the "elopement city" was a distant dream, a romance too good to be true like in novels. But when I actually stepped on the flower-shadowed old town streets and touched the stone texture of the new bridge, I suddenly laughed out loud: It turns out those gentlenesses I dared not hope for Had long been blown by the wind on this cliff, becoming the scenery at my feet; And it was Ronda’s light that filled my arms with orange gold.

💎Overseas secret wild ambassador | California Fort Bragg glass beach film-style travel guide Destination: Glass Beach at MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg, California. Once a city dump site, decades of ocean waves have polished it into a coast of sparkling sea glass. A must-stop natural hidden gem on the Highway 1 road trip. 🚗 Two travel options Drive north from San Francisco along CA-1 Highway. The drive takes about 3.5 hours with Pacific cliffside ocean views all along the way, where you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. There is a small free parking lot at the beach’s end. Parking is limited during peak season, so try to arrive before 9 AM. Paid parking in the state park costs US$10 per day. If you don’t have a car, you can take the Greyhound bus to Fort Bragg town, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. The total trip takes 6 to 8 hours. Local carpool or day tours are also options. 📸 Four main highlights ✨ Rainbow sea glass beach: White and green sea glass are most common. Red and blue are rare and only fully visible at low tide when the entire tidal flat is exposed. The coast is divided into three beach areas. Beach 3 has the largest amount of sea glass and the best viewing. A gentle coastal boardwalk lets you see small marine creatures like crabs and sea anemones in tide pools. Stop by the Skunk vintage forest train and the colorful seaside fairy-tale town of Mendocino. The golden hour from 3 PM to 5 PM offers soft backlighting. Wet sea glass becomes translucent and reflective, perfect for atmospheric film-style photos. 🦋 Fun experiences Hunt for smooth sea glass on the tidal flats, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, ride the vintage train through redwood forests, and capture breathtaking ocean views from the cliffs. 🍤 Local food options In Fort Bragg town, enjoy fresh seafood, classic clam chowder, American burgers with craft beer, authentic Mexican tacos, or bring your own ingredients for a picnic by the sea. 🏡 Two types of accommodations ▫️ Fort Bragg town: Well-developed with plenty of sea view vacation rentals and convenient daily shopping. ▫️ Mendocino town: Rich in artistic atmosphere with stylish seaside cabins, ideal for a slow-paced, immersive vacation. 💡 Essential travel tips The beach is covered with glass shards, so wear non-slip, durable hiking shoes to protect your feet from cuts. Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

Who would have thought that Northern California hides this healing Glass Beach? It used to be a century-old landfill, but after decades of ocean waves washing over it, the sharp broken glass has all been polished into smooth colorful stones, covering the entire coastline. Under the sunlight, it sparkles like a spilled candy jar 💎 📍Exact address: Fort Bragg, CA 95437 A 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco, heading north along Highway CA-1, the coastal scenery along the way is truly soothing. The best time to visit is between 3-5 PM when the soft light makes the glass stones look transparent and bright. Be sure to time your visit with low tide so that the large patches of colorful gems are fully exposed, creating a perfect atmosphere for photos. Two must-shoot spots to remember: a panoramic aerial view of Rainbow Beach with stunning color layers; and by the sea cave waiting for sunlight to refract through the waves, creating amazing light and shadow effects. Travel tips: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It’s windy by the sea, so bring a light jacket. Absolutely do not take any glass stones—leave them for others to enjoy.

This hidden gem away from the crowds offers perfect shots for your social feed.

SAVE THIS! ⭐️General: Do not get an electric car because we wasted quite a bit of time finding charging points and waiting for the Tesla to fully charge. ⭐️Antelope Canyons: It is mandatory to book a tour for the Canyons. We chose Upper instead of Lower because it’s more picturesque and mostly flat while in Lower, you had to descend and ascend equivalent to 3-4 flights of stairs with ladders during the 600 meters walk. We booked a 1.5 hour tour but it only lasted 1 hour because we took a ride to and from the meet up point. Book a photography tour instead if you’d like to spend more time taking pictures. 1 hour was too short! ⭐️Horseshoe Bend: The hike to the viewpoint is about 2.4km round trip. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. For the best photos, wide-angle lens are important to capture the entire bend in the river. ⭐️Grand Canyon: We chose South Rim instead of West Rim as the West is closer to Las Vegas so we could do a West Rim Helicopter ride next time we’re in Vegas. Besides, it is less developed and offers fewer amenities and viewpoints compared to the South Rim. It is $35 per private vehicle for a pass valid for 7 days. With 20 viewpoints accessible by vehicle, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Desert View are the best viewpoints. Use the free shuttle services available to explore different viewpoints without the hassle of driving and parking. #grouptravel

Touring hotels has become a signature activity in the gambling city. The most popular is the Bellagio, which features a free indoor conservatory garden in its lobby. Surrounded by colorful flowers and sculptures, it feels like stepping into a real-life fairy tale world~

After eight years, I finally got to attend a World Cup match in person again. Woke up at 6 AM, had three eggs, a corn cob, and a protein shake with milk, then drove eight hours straight to Kansas City to catch the first group stage match. Every bit of it was worth it! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Group stage opener: 3-0—another unforgettable historic night. Eight years ago, I saw you score the only goal for that World Cup. Eight years later, I witnessed your first hat-trick on the World Cup stage ⚽️⚽️⚽️. The Argentina team led by Scaloni is completely different from the one eight years ago, but what hasn’t changed is you 🐐👑. Here’s my KC match experience 👇 Today’s match, being the first World Cup game hosted in Kansas City, was a letdown in terms of on-site experience. In one word: bad. In two words: very bad. In three words: extremely bad! 😤😤😤 1. Got in line for security at 5 PM sharp, but it took a full 45 minutes to get through. 2. The fan experience activities at the venue were poorly organized. Despite the large open space, the activities felt like a hastily thrown-together amateur setup. For example, the photo booth for creating player cards had only one machine, resulting in a long line. On average, it took two minutes per person, so unless you were willing to wait two hours, you wouldn’t get your turn! Think twice before joining this line! The face-painting stations for national flags only had two counters. I waited over ten minutes without moving an inch—absolutely frustrating. 3. Avoid choosing non-popular park & ride pickup points❕❕❕ I picked the Independence Center shuttle point to get to the stadium. After the match, when trying to return, shuttles to this less popular point were scarce. Meanwhile, multiple empty buses were heading to the Plaza shuttle point. I had to wait for over ten buses before finally getting one to Independence Center! The organizers didn’t allow buses to adjust routes to accommodate stranded fans at less popular points. Watching others leave while I was stuck there, exhausted and starving, left me speechless 🙄. I was too tired to even complain 😅. In conclusion, I now fully understand why some media outlets rated KC as the worst host city before the tournament 🫪.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Arches National Geologic Park is located in the town of Moab, Utah, USA. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Years of wind and time have sculpted the red rock landscape, creating a strong sense of wilderness desolation. It is also an unmissable natural landmark on any American West road trip. The entire park is connected by a scenic road linking all the attractions, allowing you to drive slowly along the route and stop freely for photos. The Delicate Arch is the soul landmark of the entire park and a symbol of Utah. At sunset, the orange-red rock walls are wrapped in the glow of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking scene 📸 The North and South Window Arches trail is gentle and easy, allowing you to check in at two adjacent stone arches with a short walk, making it stress-free for beginners and elders. Devil’s Garden hides the Landscape Arch, which spans 93 meters in length. The thin rock wall standing between the canyons offers a visually stunning experience. The balanced rock by the roadside stands firmly on a narrow stone base, perfect for snapping fun wilderness shots 🪨 Far from city light pollution in the desert area, the Milky Way clearly spreads above the arches at night. The quiet wilderness is perfect for slowing down and feeling the romantic sediment of geological time. ✅ Concise and Practical Guide at the End Transportation 1. Self-driving (the only recommended way) Base yourself in Moab town, just a 10-minute drive to the park entrance; from Salt Lake City, it’s a 4-hour drive, and from Zion National Park, about 3.5 hours by car. There is no public bus service inside the park. Sedans can access the main roads, while less-traveled gravel roads are better suited for SUVs. 2. Public Transportation There are almost no convenient public transport options, so relying on public transit is not recommended. Short-distance car rentals are an alternative. 🅿️ Parking Each trailhead has its own dedicated parking lot. Parking spaces are very tight during the peak season from May to October. Arriving before 7 AM increases your chances of finding a spot. Delicate Arch, Devil’s Garden, and the Window areas consume parking spaces the fastest. If parking is full, you can first visit smaller, less crowded viewpoints along the way and return later to avoid peak times. All parking in the park is free 🆓. Parking on the roadside or blocking traffic is prohibited. ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1. Delicate Arch: The park’s core landmark and prime sunset photo spot, with a simple distant viewing platform requiring no strenuous hiking. 2. North and South Window Arches: Low-difficulty leisure trail with two stone frame arches that are very photogenic. 3. Landscape Arch: The world’s longest natural stone arch, with a flat and easy trail. 4. Balanced Rock: A short roadside stop with a giant suspended rock that is highly recognizable. 5. Devil’s Garden Loop: An advanced hiking route unlocking multiple lesser-known arches in one go. ✅ Practical Tips 1. Duration: Allocate 3 hours for a relaxed self-driving visit; a full day is needed to complete the core hiking routes. 2. Best Time to Visit: April to May and September to October, when the weather is cool and you avoid the desert’s intense summer heat. 3. Entrance Fee: $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days. For better value, consider the $80 annual pass for all U.S. national parks. 4. Essentials: The desert sun is intense, so bring plenty of drinking water, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip hiking shoes. There are no restaurants inside the park, so stock up on snacks and water in Moab beforehand. 5. Precautions: Do not climb or touch the sandstone walls, as weathered rocks are prone to falling and collapsing.

🥅 The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan, I decided to join the fun. 🇺🇸 Surprisingly, Washington, D.C., isn't one of the host cities, so I chose Philadelphia and attended the cheapest group stage match: Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 vs Curaçao 🇨🇼. 🎫 World Cup tickets are quite expensive. This match was a less popular one, but even the furthest seats at the top cost $500 each. Parking fees were also steep—$150 for one match. The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans, and the atmosphere was electric. Every time a goal was scored, the crowd erupted in cheers. The final score was 2-0, with Curaçao eliminated. 💚 Something funny happened that day. I wore an NCT WINWIN basketball jersey (and even brought a matching plush doll and photo card). While eating, a foreigner came up to me and asked if my jersey was from NCT. I was surprised to see NCT still has recognition in the US, haha! 🥪 If you plan to eat, make sure to arrive early or eat beforehand. I arrived two hours early and almost missed the kickoff because the food lines were so long. First, you queue at a self-service machine to order, then wait in another line to pick up your food. The machines were overwhelmed, and each dish took about 30 minutes to order and even longer to prepare. I ended up with a beef sandwich, but it seemed like they had run out of ingredients—no sauce, no cheese, just cold, hard bread and beef slices. It was pretty tasteless 😅. 🍧 I regret not doing more research beforehand. I missed out on getting a wristband and commemorative ticket. I also found out too late that only tiny or transparent bags are allowed, so I had to walk back to the parking lot to leave my bag in the car. Later, I learned that each person can bring one bottle of water, while buying one inside costs $7. The open-air stadium was scorching, so bringing a small fan is a good idea. They sell shaved ice inside, and you can mix two flavors in one cup. It was refreshing in the heat, even though it was full of artificial coloring—I looked like an Avatar after eating it! 📍 Lincoln Financial Field • Philadelphia • Pennsylvania • USA 🇺🇸

Let me say this without exaggeration... This place is not just an amusement park; it’s a whole new world—a world filled with imagination, laughter, and tangible happiness 🥹💖 🚪 The moment you step in… Disney music fills the air, the scent of treats wafts by, accompanied by a gentle breeze and warm sunlight. It feels like the outside world disappears, and you’re fully immersed in a Disney movie 🎬 🏰 Seeing Sleeping Beauty’s Castle for the first time: I didn’t cry… but my eyes got teary 😭. It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: · Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. · Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. · Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

📍Universal Studios Hollywood 🗺️No backtracking route 💡 Map is in the last picture: ⚠️ There are many escalators between the lower and upper parks. Elevators are far apart and require a shuttle, so it’s recommended to travel light. One person can carry the child while the other handles the stroller on the escalator. 【Lower Park】(Recommended to visit first thing in the morning) 1. 🌟 Super Nintendo World: Mario Kart 🏎️ and live-action Mario. You can buy an interactive wristband. The Mario restaurant requires an app reservation in advance, but there is actually a side entrance where you can enter and order directly. 2. 🦕 Jurassic World: The Ride, very likely to get soaked in the front row, remember to bring a raincoat. 3. ⚰️ The Mummy: Not suitable for small children. 4. 🤖 Transformers: Great 5D effects, but strong visual impact that might scare little kids. 【Upper Park】(Leisurely visit in the afternoon) 5. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The Simpsons: Various mini-games. 6. 🌟 Studio Tour: Take a bus 🚌 to see movie sets. Recommended to sit on the right window side for the best view! 7. 🪄 Harry Potter: The roller coaster and Forbidden Journey are thrilling, not suitable for young children, but there is child swap so parents can take turns riding. Must try the “Butterbeer,” which, despite the name, is a non-alcoholic sweet sparkling drink safe for kids. 8. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda: A short special effects movie with non-shaking seats available for parents holding children. 9&10.🐶 Minions / Secret Life of Pets: Cute style, kid-friendly. 11.🌊 WaterWorld Show: Stunning stunts. Seats are color-coded: blue for soaking wet, green for half wet, choose gray safe zone if with kids. 🚗 🅿️ Two tips to get $5 parking (save dozens of dollars) Method 1️⃣: Buy a same-day movie ticket at the CityWalk AMC theater via the AMC App ➡️ Tell the parking attendant you’re there for the movie, and parking fee instantly becomes $5 ➡️ Before the movie starts, cancel the ticket online in the app (with a $2-$3 handling fee). Total cost is under $8 for official parking. 👀 If there’s an issue with the ticket system, you must pay parking first, then buy a ticket on-site to get a parking rebate, and then cancel the movie ticket. Method 2️⃣: Navigate to 3913 Lankershim Blvd parking lot, $3 per day. Park and walk over the skybridge to take the free shuttle bus into the park. But theoretically, this is a subway station 🚉 parking lot, so there might be a risk of towing. Next time, I’ll share a detailed guide on the live-action Mario in Super Nintendo World.

I've been longing for this white horse for a long time! When I was in school, I saw my senior's graduation photo and thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely take a photo sitting on a horse's back. More than a year after graduation! I finally got the chance! I got on! Took the photo! No more regrets about USC! It's really impossible to get on with just one person helping. At least one more person is needed! One side needs the photographer to hold my hand, and the other side needs my husband to support my leg to get up (big thanks to these two helpers). Beautiful photos like this are made this way! “As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others.”

#bestplacestowatchfootball Beyond sports, the venue transforms into a gallery, featuring impressive contemporary artwork and a deep commitment to sustainability as a LEED-certified building utilizing solar panels and urban gardens.

Vibrant Atmosphere: Driven by a premium sound system and cutting-edge lighting, the environment during games and concerts is described as utterly electric, frequently prompting the entire crowd to stand up and dance. Logistical Disadvantages: While the interior experience receives universal acclaim, leaving the venue can present challenges. Reviewers note that navigating the surrounding traffic and exiting the paid parking garages can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour post-event due to a lack of directed traffic flow at the end of the night.

My journey in Spain began in the south. There was one small town on the itinerary that was a must-visit pilgrimage site—Ronda. A place worth traveling a thousand miles for must have its highlights: Some say Ronda is the "white town built on a cliff"; Some say Ronda is the "birthplace of modern bullfighting"; And some say Ronda is "the best place for a honeymoon or to elope." Ronda doesn’t have the famous cathedrals of Barcelona, nor the palaces of Seville. It only has cliffs. But those cliffs are enough to define it as the "elopement town" the world knows—astonishingly so. Throughout history, "elopement" may be one of the most romantic words in the world. The title of Spain’s "elopement town" is not self-proclaimed by Ronda but was lavishly praised by the great writer Ernest Hemingway: “If you want to honeymoon or elope in Spain, Ronda is the most suitable place; the entire city is filled with romantic scenery as far as the eye can see...” This small town, standing freely on the cliff edge❸❹❺, is unique in the world, just like the pure and unique love all lovers seek. The gorge carved by the Guadalevín River looks as if it was split by a divine broad axe⓬⓰⓱. The old and new towns lie on opposite sides, like a pair of lovers separated by the world, a hundred meters apart, gazing but unable to meet. Fortunately, the magnificent new bridge spanning the gorge builds a "magpie bridge" connecting them. Countless couples stand at the cliff’s edge waiting for sunrise and sunset, before them the magnificent cliffs, around them the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and doves fluttering by, beside them the lover they have chosen to hold hands with for life. Passing through the archway of the old bridge❶⓭⓮, you enter the old town, where narrow alleys wind like a maze, and every step might collide with history. The pebble-paved streets shine under the sun, white walls like freshly fallen snow, and every windowsill is adorned with flaming bougainvillea. As you walk through the alleys, you hear guitar chords, the notes wrapped in the scent of orange blossoms drifting toward the cliff—there, a couple presses their foreheads together, framed by white houses, looking like people stepped out of a painting. Hemingway, who once lived here, probably heard such strings too, which is why he said, “Here, as far as the eye can see, everything is romantic.” Ronda is also the birthplace of Spain’s national treasure, bullfighting, and home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The bronze bull sculpture raises its horns under the sun❽❾. In the past, bullfighting was an activity exclusive to the nobility, who fought bulls on horseback. Until one nobleman, lacking skill, was thrown off by a bull, and at that life-or-death moment, a commoner rushed into the ring, waving his hat to distract the bull. This act not only saved the nobleman but also ushered in a new era of bullfighters fighting on foot at Ronda’s bullring. In this 1785 circular arena, it is said that Pedro Romero fought 5,000 bulls over 28 years without a scratch. Today, the benches still hold the warmth of past years, sunlight weaves the shadows of fences on the yellow sand, like a bullfighter’s red cape spread into a sea. I look up at the weathered bronze sculptures by the ring, as if hearing the cheers of the crowd mixed with the low moans of bulls, sinking into this thick, intense air. Ronda’s most beautiful moment is dusk. I wanted to take a photo of the "golden light through the arch" by the new bridge❿⓫, but found the cliffs to be the most magnificent backdrop, the sunset a natural romantic filter, even silence turning into love words. Built on a crack, it achieves unparalleled wholeness; bearing the heavy history of bullfighting and war, it exudes the ultimate romantic aura. It teaches the preciousness of reliance through the cliff’s steepness; it highlights the nobility of love through the depth of the gorge. Before coming, I always thought the "elopement city" was a distant dream, a romance too good to be true like in novels. But when I actually stepped on the flower-shadowed old town streets and touched the stone texture of the new bridge, I suddenly laughed out loud: It turns out those gentlenesses I dared not hope for Had long been blown by the wind on this cliff, becoming the scenery at my feet; And it was Ronda’s light that filled my arms with orange gold.

💎Overseas secret wild ambassador | California Fort Bragg glass beach film-style travel guide Destination: Glass Beach at MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg, California. Once a city dump site, decades of ocean waves have polished it into a coast of sparkling sea glass. A must-stop natural hidden gem on the Highway 1 road trip. 🚗 Two travel options Drive north from San Francisco along CA-1 Highway. The drive takes about 3.5 hours with Pacific cliffside ocean views all along the way, where you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. There is a small free parking lot at the beach’s end. Parking is limited during peak season, so try to arrive before 9 AM. Paid parking in the state park costs US$10 per day. If you don’t have a car, you can take the Greyhound bus to Fort Bragg town, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. The total trip takes 6 to 8 hours. Local carpool or day tours are also options. 📸 Four main highlights ✨ Rainbow sea glass beach: White and green sea glass are most common. Red and blue are rare and only fully visible at low tide when the entire tidal flat is exposed. The coast is divided into three beach areas. Beach 3 has the largest amount of sea glass and the best viewing. A gentle coastal boardwalk lets you see small marine creatures like crabs and sea anemones in tide pools. Stop by the Skunk vintage forest train and the colorful seaside fairy-tale town of Mendocino. The golden hour from 3 PM to 5 PM offers soft backlighting. Wet sea glass becomes translucent and reflective, perfect for atmospheric film-style photos. 🦋 Fun experiences Hunt for smooth sea glass on the tidal flats, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, ride the vintage train through redwood forests, and capture breathtaking ocean views from the cliffs. 🍤 Local food options In Fort Bragg town, enjoy fresh seafood, classic clam chowder, American burgers with craft beer, authentic Mexican tacos, or bring your own ingredients for a picnic by the sea. 🏡 Two types of accommodations ▫️ Fort Bragg town: Well-developed with plenty of sea view vacation rentals and convenient daily shopping. ▫️ Mendocino town: Rich in artistic atmosphere with stylish seaside cabins, ideal for a slow-paced, immersive vacation. 💡 Essential travel tips The beach is covered with glass shards, so wear non-slip, durable hiking shoes to protect your feet from cuts. Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

Who would have thought that Northern California hides this healing Glass Beach? It used to be a century-old landfill, but after decades of ocean waves washing over it, the sharp broken glass has all been polished into smooth colorful stones, covering the entire coastline. Under the sunlight, it sparkles like a spilled candy jar 💎 📍Exact address: Fort Bragg, CA 95437 A 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco, heading north along Highway CA-1, the coastal scenery along the way is truly soothing. The best time to visit is between 3-5 PM when the soft light makes the glass stones look transparent and bright. Be sure to time your visit with low tide so that the large patches of colorful gems are fully exposed, creating a perfect atmosphere for photos. Two must-shoot spots to remember: a panoramic aerial view of Rainbow Beach with stunning color layers; and by the sea cave waiting for sunlight to refract through the waves, creating amazing light and shadow effects. Travel tips: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It’s windy by the sea, so bring a light jacket. Absolutely do not take any glass stones—leave them for others to enjoy. After checking out the beach, you can also plan nearby activities: ride the Skunk Train through the forest, visit the fairy-tale-like town of Mendocino. A full day trip without rushing. This hidden gem away from the crowds offers perfect shots for your social feed.

SAVE THIS! ⭐️General: Do not get an electric car because we wasted quite a bit of time finding charging points and waiting for the Tesla to fully charge. ⭐️Antelope Canyons: It is mandatory to book a tour for the Canyons. We chose Upper instead of Lower because it’s more picturesque and mostly flat while in Lower, you had to descend and ascend equivalent to 3-4 flights of stairs with ladders during the 600 meters walk. We booked a 1.5 hour tour but it only lasted 1 hour because we took a ride to and from the meet up point. Book a photography tour instead if you’d like to spend more time taking pictures. 1 hour was too short! ⭐️Horseshoe Bend: The hike to the viewpoint is about 2.4km round trip. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. For the best photos, wide-angle lens are important to capture the entire bend in the river. ⭐️Grand Canyon: We chose South Rim instead of West Rim as the West is closer to Las Vegas so we could do a West Rim Helicopter ride next time we’re in Vegas. Besides, it is less developed and offers fewer amenities and viewpoints compared to the South Rim. It is $35 per private vehicle for a pass valid for 7 days. With 20 viewpoints accessible by vehicle, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Desert View are the best viewpoints. Use the free shuttle services available to explore different viewpoints without the hassle of driving and parking. #grouptravel

Touring hotels has become a signature activity in the gambling city. The most popular is the Bellagio, which features a free indoor conservatory garden in its lobby. Surrounded by colorful flowers and sculptures, it feels like stepping into a real-life fairy tale world~

After eight years, I finally got to attend a World Cup match in person again. Woke up at 6 AM, had three eggs, a corn cob, and a protein shake with milk, then drove eight hours straight to Kansas City to catch the first group stage match. Every bit of it was worth it! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 Group stage opener: 3-0—another unforgettable historic night. Eight years ago, I saw you score the only goal for that World Cup. Eight years later, I witnessed your first hat-trick on the World Cup stage ⚽️⚽️⚽️. The Argentina team led by Scaloni is completely different from the one eight years ago, but what hasn’t changed is you 🐐👑. Here’s my KC match experience 👇 Today’s match, being the first World Cup game hosted in Kansas City, was a letdown in terms of on-site experience. In one word: bad. In two words: very bad. In three words: extremely bad! 😤😤😤 1. Got in line for security at 5 PM sharp, but it took a full 45 minutes to get through. 2. The fan experience activities at the venue were poorly organized. Despite the large open space, the activities felt like a hastily thrown-together amateur setup. For example, the photo booth for creating player cards had only one machine, resulting in a long line. On average, it took two minutes per person, so unless you were willing to wait two hours, you wouldn’t get your turn! Think twice before joining this line! The face-painting stations for national flags only had two counters. I waited over ten minutes without moving an inch—absolutely frustrating. 3. Avoid choosing non-popular park & ride pickup points❕❕❕ I picked the Independence Center shuttle point to get to the stadium. After the match, when trying to return, shuttles to this less popular point were scarce. Meanwhile, multiple empty buses were heading to the Plaza shuttle point. I had to wait for over ten buses before finally getting one to Independence Center! The organizers didn’t allow buses to adjust routes to accommodate stranded fans at less popular points. Watching others leave while I was stuck there, exhausted and starving, left me speechless 🙄. I was too tired to even complain 😅. In conclusion, I now fully understand why some media outlets rated KC as the worst host city before the tournament 🫪.

This time, I took the kids to Vegas and finally included Antelope Canyon in the itinerary! The 10-hour round trip was really tough, but experiencing the charm of nature with the kids made it all worth it, and of course, you have to get great photos! Here are some very important family tips that I hope will help sisters avoid any traps: 1️⃣ Make sure the kids wear proper walking shoes! Absolutely! The park is full of red sand and uneven paths, so kids must wear non-slip sneakers. Avoid flip-flops or sandals to prevent slipping and blisters. 2️⃣ Antelope Canyon can only be visited with a local guide. If you’re with kids, it’s recommended to tip $5-$10 before the tour. Each group has about a dozen people waiting to enter, and you can’t fall behind. We didn’t tip, and the guide kept rushing us, so we barely had time to take photos, and the kids got anxious. Later we learned that tipping slows the guide down and they help find good photo spots, making the experience better with kids. 3️⃣ Antelope Canyon has top lighting, so front-facing photos aren’t ideal most of the time. Try having the kids look up or take parent-child photos from behind. The easiest trick is to have the kids wear sunglasses for better shots. The canyon is narrow, so it’s best to walk at the front or back of the group to avoid crowds and make it easier to take photos and rest with kids. 4️⃣ Family outfit tips: Black, white, or brown colors look best in photos. Parents and kids can coordinate with matching colors for more harmonious family pictures. 5️⃣ Actually, photos inside Antelope Canyon are all pretty similar. The wide-open area outside is much more spacious and there’s no guide rushing you, so you can comfortably take family photos and let the kids run and play freely. 6️⃣ Don’t forget sun protection! The park is very hot, so fully protect the kids with sun-protective clothing, hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid sunburn. 7️⃣ There are no clean restrooms inside the park, only pit toilets. You can change clothes and freshen up at a clean restroom the guide takes you to beforehand. Bring wet wipes and tissues to keep the kids clean. 8️⃣ Bring enough drinking water and light snacks for the kids. Supplies inside the park are scarce and expensive, so avoid hunger and thirst. 9️⃣ Pack common medicines and band-aids for the kids to handle emergencies like falls or scrapes. Regarding group tours, I did a lot of research because I didn’t want to be packed on a big bus. After reading many posts and checking foreign platforms, 50-person Antelope Canyon tours cost about $200 round trip from Vegas; 14-person business buses are around $250, with fixed hotel pickups—no door-to-door service, and extra fees or early pickups if you’re not at the designated hotels. This time, I found a private small group tour with a business car for up to 5 people at $259. They pick up from all central Vegas hotels and picked us up at 6 AM, saving a lot of time compared to regular tours. The guide was a kind Chinese lady, the car was clean, and they even provided umbrellas, ice water, iced cola, and sunscreen. The kids slept both ways—super comfortable. I really want to recommend it; it’s so good it feels like a secret, but no lies here~ The only regret is there’s no two-day tour option. Otherwise, we could have stayed overnight in Page town and had time to check out the Jennie-style Powell Lake boat tour for a richer experience with the kids. A couple traveling with us didn’t want to go, so we missed out—so regretful~ Next post will be about Horseshoe Bend! It’s insanely photogenic. You can skip Antelope Canyon, but Horseshoe Bend is definitely worth taking the kids to~

Arches National Geologic Park is located in the town of Moab, Utah, USA. It is home to over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Years of wind and time have sculpted the red rock landscape, creating a strong sense of wilderness desolation. It is also an unmissable natural landmark on any American West road trip. The entire park is connected by a scenic road linking all the attractions, allowing you to drive slowly along the route and stop freely for photos. The Delicate Arch is the soul landmark of the entire park and a symbol of Utah. At sunset, the orange-red rock walls are wrapped in the glow of the setting sun, creating a breathtaking scene 📸 The North and South Window Arches trail is gentle and easy, allowing you to check in at two adjacent stone arches with a short walk, making it stress-free for beginners and elders. Devil’s Garden hides the Landscape Arch, which spans 93 meters in length. The thin rock wall standing between the canyons offers a visually stunning experience. The balanced rock by the roadside stands firmly on a narrow stone base, perfect for snapping fun wilderness shots 🪨 Far from city light pollution in the desert area, the Milky Way clearly spreads above the arches at night. The quiet wilderness is perfect for slowing down and feeling the romantic sediment of geological time. ✅ Concise and Practical Guide at the End Transportation 1. Self-driving (the only recommended way) Base yourself in Moab town, just a 10-minute drive to the park entrance; from Salt Lake City, it’s a 4-hour drive, and from Zion National Park, about 3.5 hours by car. There is no public bus service inside the park. Sedans can access the main roads, while less-traveled gravel roads are better suited for SUVs. 2. Public Transportation There are almost no convenient public transport options, so relying on public transit is not recommended. Short-distance car rentals are an alternative. 🅿️ Parking Each trailhead has its own dedicated parking lot. Parking spaces are very tight during the peak season from May to October. Arriving before 7 AM increases your chances of finding a spot. Delicate Arch, Devil’s Garden, and the Window areas consume parking spaces the fastest. If parking is full, you can first visit smaller, less crowded viewpoints along the way and return later to avoid peak times. All parking in the park is free 🆓. Parking on the roadside or blocking traffic is prohibited. ✅ Must-Visit Spots 1. Delicate Arch: The park’s core landmark and prime sunset photo spot, with a simple distant viewing platform requiring no strenuous hiking. 2. North and South Window Arches: Low-difficulty leisure trail with two stone frame arches that are very photogenic. 3. Landscape Arch: The world’s longest natural stone arch, with a flat and easy trail. 4. Balanced Rock: A short roadside stop with a giant suspended rock that is highly recognizable. 5. Devil’s Garden Loop: An advanced hiking route unlocking multiple lesser-known arches in one go. ✅ Practical Tips 1. Duration: Allocate 3 hours for a relaxed self-driving visit; a full day is needed to complete the core hiking routes. 2. Best Time to Visit: April to May and September to October, when the weather is cool and you avoid the desert’s intense summer heat. 3. Entrance Fee: $30 per private vehicle, valid for 7 days. For better value, consider the $80 annual pass for all U.S. national parks. 4. Essentials: The desert sun is intense, so bring plenty of drinking water, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and non-slip hiking shoes. There are no restaurants inside the park, so stock up on snacks and water in Moab beforehand. 5. Precautions: Do not climb or touch the sandstone walls, as weathered rocks are prone to falling and collapsing.

🥅 The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Even though I'm not a big soccer fan, I decided to join the fun. 🇺🇸 Surprisingly, Washington, D.C., isn't one of the host cities, so I chose Philadelphia and attended the cheapest group stage match: Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮 vs Curaçao 🇨🇼. 🎫 World Cup tickets are quite expensive. This match was a less popular one, but even the furthest seats at the top cost $500 each. Parking fees were also steep—$150 for one match. The stadium was packed with tens of thousands of fans, and the atmosphere was electric. Every time a goal was scored, the crowd erupted in cheers. The final score was 2-0, with Curaçao eliminated. 💚 Something funny happened that day. I wore an NCT WINWIN basketball jersey (and even brought a matching plush doll and photo card). While eating, a foreigner came up to me and asked if my jersey was from NCT. I was surprised to see NCT still has recognition in the US, haha! 🥪 If you plan to eat, make sure to arrive early or eat beforehand. I arrived two hours early and almost missed the kickoff because the food lines were so long. First, you queue at a self-service machine to order, then wait in another line to pick up your food. The machines were overwhelmed, and each dish took about 30 minutes to order and even longer to prepare. I ended up with a beef sandwich, but it seemed like they had run out of ingredients—no sauce, no cheese, just cold, hard bread and beef slices. It was pretty tasteless 😅. 🍧 I regret not doing more research beforehand. I missed out on getting a wristband and commemorative ticket. I also found out too late that only tiny or transparent bags are allowed, so I had to walk back to the parking lot to leave my bag in the car. Later, I learned that each person can bring one bottle of water, while buying one inside costs $7. The open-air stadium was scorching, so bringing a small fan is a good idea. They sell shaved ice inside, and you can mix two flavors in one cup. It was refreshing in the heat, even though it was full of artificial coloring—I looked like an Avatar after eating it! 📍 Lincoln Financial Field • Philadelphia • Pennsylvania • USA 🇺🇸

It’s like stepping into the scenes I used to watch as a child, but now I’m actually walking into them. 🎢 Top 3 rides to recommend: 1. Indiana Jones Adventure – It feels like you’re dodging traps in the movie. So thrilling! 2. Haunted Mansion – Spooky but adorable! Disney ghosts aren’t scary, but the design is so stunning it gives you chills. 3. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – A dream come true for Star Wars fans 🚀🌌 🍽️ Food is another highlight of the trip: · Turkey Leg 🦃: It’s massive! No way you can finish it alone. · Mickey-shaped Pretzel: A must-try! Eat, take a photo, and eat some more. · Churros with cinnamon aroma: Perfect for snacking all day long. 🎆 Ending the day with the Disney Fireworks Show: I teared up without shame. The music, lights, and Walt Disney’s words at the end made me feel that "dreams" always hold power as long as we don’t forget them. 💬 Summary of the Disneyland California trip: This place is not just an amusement park… It’s a space where you can reconnect with the version of yourself that believes in magic. No one will think you’re crazy if you get excited about princesses or dance to the music in the streets. Because everyone at Disneyland… comes to "believe in something beautiful" together 💫

📍Universal Studios Hollywood 🗺️No backtracking route 💡 Map is in the last picture: ⚠️ There are many escalators between the lower and upper parks. Elevators are far apart and require a shuttle, so it’s recommended to travel light. One person can carry the child while the other handles the stroller on the escalator. 【Lower Park】(Recommended to visit first thing in the morning) 1. 🌟 Super Nintendo World: Mario Kart 🏎️ and live-action Mario. You can buy an interactive wristband. The Mario restaurant requires an app reservation in advance, but there is actually a side entrance where you can enter and order directly. 2. 🦕 Jurassic World: The Ride, very likely to get soaked in the front row, remember to bring a raincoat. 3. ⚰️ The Mummy: Not suitable for small children. 4. 🤖 Transformers: Great 5D effects, but strong visual impact that might scare little kids. 【Upper Park】(Leisurely visit in the afternoon) 5. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The Simpsons: Various mini-games. 6. 🌟 Studio Tour: Take a bus 🚌 to see movie sets. Recommended to sit on the right window side for the best view! 7. 🪄 Harry Potter: The roller coaster and Forbidden Journey are thrilling, not suitable for young children, but there is child swap so parents can take turns riding. Must try the “Butterbeer,” which, despite the name, is a non-alcoholic sweet sparkling drink safe for kids. 8. 🐼 Kung Fu Panda: A short special effects movie with non-shaking seats available for parents holding children. 9&10.🐶 Minions / Secret Life of Pets: Cute style, kid-friendly. 11.🌊 WaterWorld Show: Stunning stunts. Seats are color-coded: blue for soaking wet, green for half wet, choose gray safe zone if with kids. 🚗 🅿️ Two tips to get $5 parking (save dozens of dollars) Method 1️⃣: Buy a same-day movie ticket at the CityWalk AMC theater via the AMC App ➡️ Tell the parking attendant you’re there for the movie, and parking fee instantly becomes $5 ➡️ Before the movie starts, cancel the ticket online in the app (with a $2-$3 handling fee). Total cost is under $8 for official parking. 👀 If there’s an issue with the ticket system, you must pay parking first, then buy a ticket on-site to get a parking rebate, and then cancel the movie ticket. Method 2️⃣: Navigate to 3913 Lankershim Blvd parking lot, $3 per day. Park and walk over the skybridge to take the free shuttle bus into the park. But theoretically, this is a subway station 🚉 parking lot, so there might be a risk of towing. Next time, I’ll share a detailed guide on the live-action Mario in Super Nintendo World.

I've been longing for this white horse for a long time! When I was in school, I saw my senior's graduation photo and thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely take a photo sitting on a horse's back. More than a year after graduation! I finally got the chance! I got on! Took the photo! No more regrets about USC! It's really impossible to get on with just one person helping. At least one more person is needed! One side needs the photographer to hold my hand, and the other side needs my husband to support my leg to get up (big thanks to these two helpers). Beautiful photos like this are made this way! “As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassed ones are others.”

#bestplacestowatchfootball Beyond sports, the venue transforms into a gallery, featuring impressive contemporary artwork and a deep commitment to sustainability as a LEED-certified building utilizing solar panels and urban gardens. Fan-Friendly Concessions: One of the most praised aspects of the venue is its revolutionized "fan-first" pricing.

Reviewers note that navigating the surrounding traffic and exiting the paid parking garages can take upwards of 45 minutes to an hour post-event due to a lack of directed traffic flow at the end of the night.

My journey in Spain began in the south. There was one small town on the itinerary that was a must-visit pilgrimage site—Ronda. A place worth traveling a thousand miles for must have its highlights: Some say Ronda is the "white town built on a cliff"; Some say Ronda is the "birthplace of modern bullfighting"; And some say Ronda is "the best place for a honeymoon or to elope." Ronda doesn’t have the famous cathedrals of Barcelona, nor the palaces of Seville. It only has cliffs. But those cliffs are enough to define it as the "elopement town" the world knows—astonishingly so. Throughout history, "elopement" may be one of the most romantic words in the world. The title of Spain’s "elopement town" is not self-proclaimed by Ronda but was lavishly praised by the great writer Ernest Hemingway: “If you want to honeymoon or elope in Spain, Ronda is the most suitable place; the entire city is filled with romantic scenery as far as the eye can see...” This small town, standing freely on the cliff edge❸❹❺, is unique in the world, just like the pure and unique love all lovers seek. The gorge carved by the Guadalevín River looks as if it was split by a divine broad axe⓬⓰⓱. The old and new towns lie on opposite sides, like a pair of lovers separated by the world, a hundred meters apart, gazing but unable to meet. Fortunately, the magnificent new bridge spanning the gorge builds a "magpie bridge" connecting them. Countless couples stand at the cliff’s edge waiting for sunrise and sunset, before them the magnificent cliffs, around them the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and doves fluttering by, beside them the lover they have chosen to hold hands with for life. Passing through the archway of the old bridge❶⓭⓮, you enter the old town, where narrow alleys wind like a maze, and every step might collide with history. The pebble-paved streets shine under the sun, white walls like freshly fallen snow, and every windowsill is adorned with flaming bougainvillea. As you walk through the alleys, you hear guitar chords, the notes wrapped in the scent of orange blossoms drifting toward the cliff—there, a couple presses their foreheads together, framed by white houses, looking like people stepped out of a painting. Hemingway, who once lived here, probably heard such strings too, which is why he said, “Here, as far as the eye can see, everything is romantic.” Ronda is also the birthplace of Spain’s national treasure, bullfighting, and home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The bronze bull sculpture raises its horns under the sun❽❾. In the past, bullfighting was an activity exclusive to the nobility, who fought bulls on horseback. Until one nobleman, lacking skill, was thrown off by a bull, and at that life-or-death moment, a commoner rushed into the ring, waving his hat to distract the bull. This act not only saved the nobleman but also ushered in a new era of bullfighters fighting on foot at Ronda’s bullring. In this 1785 circular arena, it is said that Pedro Romero fought 5,000 bulls over 28 years without a scratch. Today, the benches still hold the warmth of past years, sunlight weaves the shadows of fences on the yellow sand, like a bullfighter’s red cape spread into a sea. I look up at the weathered bronze sculptures by the ring, as if hearing the cheers of the crowd mixed with the low moans of bulls, sinking into this thick, intense air. Ronda’s most beautiful moment is dusk. I wanted to take a photo of the "golden light through the arch" by the new bridge❿⓫, but found the cliffs to be the most magnificent backdrop, the sunset a natural romantic filter, even silence turning into love words. Built on a crack, it achieves unparalleled wholeness; bearing the heavy history of bullfighting and war, it exudes the ultimate romantic aura. It teaches the preciousness of reliance through the cliff’s steepness; it highlights the nobility of love through the depth of the gorge. Before coming, I always thought the "elopement city" was a distant dream, a romance too good to be true like in novels. But when I actually stepped on the flower-shadowed old town streets and touched the stone texture of the new bridge, I suddenly laughed out loud: It turns out those gentlenesses I dared not hope for Had long been blown by the wind on this cliff, becoming the scenery at my feet; And it was Ronda’s light that filled my arms with orange gold.

💎Overseas secret wild ambassador | California Fort Bragg glass beach film-style travel guide Destination: Glass Beach at MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg, California. Once a city dump site, decades of ocean waves have polished it into a coast of sparkling sea glass. A must-stop natural hidden gem on the Highway 1 road trip. 🚗 Two travel options Drive north from San Francisco along CA-1 Highway. The drive takes about 3.5 hours with Pacific cliffside ocean views all along the way, where you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. There is a small free parking lot at the beach’s end. Parking is limited during peak season, so try to arrive before 9 AM. Paid parking in the state park costs US$10 per day. If you don’t have a car, you can take the Greyhound bus to Fort Bragg town, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. The total trip takes 6 to 8 hours. Local carpool or day tours are also options. 📸 Four main highlights ✨ Rainbow sea glass beach: White and green sea glass are most common. Red and blue are rare and only fully visible at low tide when the entire tidal flat is exposed. The coast is divided into three beach areas. Beach 3 has the largest amount of sea glass and the best viewing. A gentle coastal boardwalk lets you see small marine creatures like crabs and sea anemones in tide pools. Stop by the Skunk vintage forest train and the colorful seaside fairy-tale town of Mendocino. The golden hour from 3 PM to 5 PM offers soft backlighting. Wet sea glass becomes translucent and reflective, perfect for atmospheric film-style photos. 🦋 Fun experiences Hunt for smooth sea glass on the tidal flats, take a leisurely walk along the coastline, ride the vintage train through redwood forests, and capture breathtaking ocean views from the cliffs. 🍤 Local food options In Fort Bragg town, enjoy fresh seafood, classic clam chowder, American burgers with craft beer, authentic Mexican tacos, or bring your own ingredients for a picnic by the sea. 🏡 Two types of accommodations ▫️ Fort Bragg town: Well-developed with plenty of sea view vacation rentals and convenient daily shopping. ▫️ Mendocino town: Rich in artistic atmosphere with stylish seaside cabins, ideal for a slow-paced, immersive vacation. 💡 Essential travel tips The beach is covered with glass shards, so wear non-slip, durable hiking shoes to protect your feet from cuts. Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

Who would have thought that Northern California hides this healing Glass Beach? It used to be a century-old landfill, but after decades of ocean waves washing over it, the sharp broken glass has all been polished into smooth colorful stones, covering the entire coastline. Under the sunlight, it sparkles like a spilled candy jar 💎 📍Exact address: Fort Bragg, CA 95437 A 3.5-hour drive from San Francisco, heading north along Highway CA-1, the coastal scenery along the way is truly soothing. The best time to visit is between 3-5 PM when the soft light makes the glass stones look transparent and bright. Be sure to time your visit with low tide so that the large patches of colorful gems are fully exposed, creating a perfect atmosphere for photos. Two must-shoot spots to remember: a panoramic aerial view of Rainbow Beach with stunning color layers; and by the sea cave waiting for sunlight to refract through the waves, creating amazing light and shadow effects. Travel tips: The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It’s windy by the sea, so bring a light jacket. Absolutely do not take any glass stones—leave them for others to enjoy. After checking out the beach, you can also plan nearby activities: ride the Skunk Train through the forest, visit the fairy-tale-like town of Mendocino. A full day trip without rushing. This hidden gem away from the crowds offers perfect shots for your social feed.

SAVE THIS! ⭐️General: Do not get an electric car because we wasted quite a bit of time finding charging points and waiting for the Tesla to fully charge. ⭐️Antelope Canyons: It is mandatory to book a tour for the Canyons. We chose Upper instead of Lower because it’s more picturesque and mostly flat while in Lower, you had to descend and ascend equivalent to 3-4 flights of stairs with ladders during the 600 meters walk. We booked a 1.5 hour tour but it only lasted 1 hour because we took a ride to and from the meet up point. Book a photography tour instead if you’d like to spend more time taking pictures. 1 hour was too short! ⭐️Horseshoe Bend: The hike to the viewpoint is about 2.4km round trip. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. For the best photos, wide-angle lens are important to capture the entire bend in the river. ⭐️Grand Canyon: We chose South Rim instead of West Rim as the West is closer to Las Vegas so we could do a West Rim Helicopter ride next time we’re in Vegas. Besides, it is less developed and offers fewer amenities and viewpoints compared to the South Rim. It is $35 per private vehicle for a pass valid for 7 days. With 20 viewpoints accessible by vehicle, Mather Point, Yavapai Point, and Desert View are the best viewpoints. Use the free shuttle services available to explore different viewpoints without the hassle of driving and parking. #grouptravel

Head to Ontario's Niagara Falls in midsummer, where abundant meltwater rushes down and rainbows often appear in the mist. Take the Maid of the Mist boat to pass through the waterfall curtain, feeling the spray on your face. Climb the observation tower for a breathtaking view of the falls, and at night, colorful lights illuminate the waterfall surface. The lakeside town’s flower trail offers a peaceful and healing escape, blending hustle and gentleness. The overwhelming power of nature touches your soul, making it a rare journey to soothe both body and mind. [Beach] Travel Tips 1. When taking the Maid of the Mist, be sure to bring a waterproof jacket and a waterproof phone pouch, as the mist can easily soak clothes and devices. 2. Summer sees large crowds; it’s recommended to visit the boat and observation tower during off-peak times to avoid the midday rush. 3. The lakeside trail has strong UV rays, so prepare sun hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. 4. The nighttime light show can be chilly, so carry a light jacket; for better photos, avoid perfectly symmetrical compositions. 5. The viewing edges can be slippery; pay attention to safety when with elderly or children, and do not climb over the protective railings.
