Destination Introduction Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area, located in Bloomfield, San Juan County, New Mexico, USA, is a hidden desert treasure in North America. Featuring stunning alien-like colorful Danxia landforms, ancient dinosaur fossils, and a starry sky free from light pollution, it is also a filming location for the TV series "The Mandalorian." Known as the real-life lunar wilderness and a natural set for Western sci-fi blockbusters. 📍Basic Information Full Address: Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area, Bloomfield, NM 87413 Admission: Free, no reservation required Facilities: No shops, restrooms, or supply stations throughout; no cell phone signal; must download offline maps and carry satellite GPS in advance 🚗 Transportation Guide 1. Departure City: About 3.5 hours drive from Albuquerque 2. Road Conditions: The last 10 miles are gravel and dirt roads, bumpy and full of potholes; a four-wheel drive or high-clearance off-road vehicle is required; regular cars are very likely to scrape the bottom 3. Travel Tips: Gas stations are scarce along the way; fill up the tank before departure; no public transportation available, self-driving only 4. Best Photography Times: 2 hours after sunrise and 1.5 hours before sunset for the most saturated rock colors; at night, you can shoot the desert Milky Way starry sky 🗺️ Three Core Routes 1. Badlands Overlook | 360° Danxia Panorama The highest point in the area, surrounded by colorful rock pillars in a ring. In the early morning, mist covers the iconic mushroom rocks, creating a full atmospheric vibe. Photography Tips: Use a wide-angle lens for panoramic canyon shots and a telephoto lens to compress rock layers; wear bright red, orange, or yellow clothing to contrast with the earth-yellow and orange-red rock walls for striking photos. 2. Fossil Valley Trail | Jurassic Archaeological Site The trail surface is scattered with numerous dinosaur bone fossils visible up close, but strict rules apply: · Maintain a 1.5-meter safe distance from fossils; no stepping on or climbing the rock layers · You may bring a small brush to clean off loose dirt for a simple archaeological experience; it is illegal to remove any fossils · The ground clay is soft; stay on existing trails and avoid stepping on soil slopes 3. Alien Canyon | Sci-Fi Filming Location The most famous spot in the entire park, with fluorescent orange, mint green, and creamy white multi-layered rocks interwoven, creating a surreal color clash like an alien surface. ⚠️ Safety Reminder: The rock walls are loose and prone to collapse; strictly follow marked routes and do not venture deep into the canyon. 🌌 Night Tour Exclusive: Desert Milky Way Starry Night Far from city light pollution, the entire wilderness reveals the full Milky Way to the naked eye at night. The rock pillars framed against the starry sky create a powerful visual impact. Photography Gear: Tripod, large aperture camera, headlamp; use long exposure of 10–15 seconds, ISO 1600–3200 to easily capture stunning star trails. Tips: The desert has extreme temperature differences between day and night; bring a windproof thick jacket for nighttime. 🎒 Essential Packing List · Clothing: High-top anti-slip hiking boots, windproof face mask, wide-brim sun hat · Water: Large capacity water bags with at least 3 liters per person; the desert has no shade and intense sun exposure, with a high risk of dehydration · Equipment: Satellite GPS/offline maps, camera + tripod, sunscreen with SPF 50+ · Others: Basic first aid kit, some dry snacks, trash bags (all trash must be carried out) ⚠️ Strict Safety Rules & Pitfall Warnings 1. Avoid during rainy season: Heavy rains frequently occur from July to September, causing flash floods in desert canyons; visiting during this period is not recommended 2. Drone Restrictions: Drones are prohibited throughout the protected area; violations will be penalized 3. Wildlife Encounters: If you encounter rattlesnakes or venomous lizards, stay still and slowly back away without disturbing them 4. Geomorphology Protection: Do not climb fragile rock pillars, carve graffiti, or move rocks; these billion-year weathered landforms are easily damaged 5. Camping Tips: Only primitive camping is allowed; check forest fire bans in advance; open flames are strictly prohibited Simple Itinerary Reference (One-Day Deep Exploration) 09:00 Arrive at the park, visit Badlands Overlook to photograph the morning Danxia 11:00 Hike Fossil Valley to observe ancient fossils up close 14:00 Rest and hydrate, then head to Alien Canyon to check out the sci-fi rock walls 18:00 Wait for the golden hour sunset to capture stunning rock layer sunset shots 21:00 Stay on site until dark to photograph the desert Milky Way star trails

Captured some of the best photos of my life in the Kulun Desert✨ Endless seas of sand, silhouettes under the sunset glow, wild off-road motorcycles… Every spot holds the secret to great shots. This personally tested guide with 5 key photo locations + detailed tips will help you easily unlock the desert’s romance and wildness. Even beginners can shoot stunning photos without any pitfalls! 📸 Key Photo Spots (Beginner-friendly tutorial with details) 【Sand Ridge Line・Ultimate Atmosphere】 Spot details: The top sand ridge line of any tall dune is the soul of desert photography! ✅ Shooting tips: Wide shot: Have the photographer shoot upward from the dune base, with the person standing in the middle of the ridge line, arms spread or naturally down, background is the endless sand sea, instantly highlighting the vastness and smallness; Close-up: Sit on the ridge, legs naturally extended to one side (crossed or straight), showing off long legs! Photographer shoots from a 45° side angle, using light and shadow to outline body lines, shoot one hour before sunset for warm, atmospheric light; Dynamic: Walk slowly along the ridge line, capturing moments of skirt or clothing fluttering, wild and free. Practical tips: Wear light or contrasting colors (white, red, ginger yellow) to strongly contrast with the yellow sand; avoid harsh midday light, best to shoot before 9 AM or at dusk. 【Desert Off-road Vehicle・Must-have for Trendy Girls】 Spot details: The orange off-road vehicles in the park come with a built-in trendy filter, 100% photo success rate! ✅ Shooting tips: Cool getting off: One foot on the pedal, body slightly turned, hand on the door, wearing sunglasses looking into the distance, instantly full of trendy girl vibes; Leaning on the hood: Sit on the hood, legs bent, hands supporting behind, head tilted back looking at the sky, casual yet cool; Inside view: Sit in the driver’s seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other playing with hair, shoot a half-body shot from outside the window, full of story. Practical tips: Off-road vehicles can be rented (about 200-300 RMB/hour, subject to on-site pricing), communicate with the owner before shooting; some owners allow free exterior shots; watch your feet to avoid scratching the vehicle. 【Desert Camels・Silk Road Vibes】 Spot details: The park offers camel rides; using camels as props instantly boosts atmosphere! ✅ Shooting tips: Side shot: Ride the camel, hold the reins firmly, body slightly turned, looking into the distance, photographer shoots full body from the side, creating a vintage “Silk Road” feel; Long-distance telephoto: Have a friend shoot from afar with a telephoto lens, person riding camel walking in the sand sea, small figure contrasting with vast desert, stunning mood; Static interaction: Stand beside the camel, gently stroke its neck (stay safe and follow the handler’s instructions), shoot a half-body shot, gentle and full of story. Practical tips: Camel rides cost about 100 RMB per round (subject to on-site pricing); don’t scare the camels when shooting; wearing long skirts or ethnic-style clothing fits the Silk Road theme better. 【ATV Off-road Motorcycle・Wild Style】 Spot details: ATV is the most stress-relieving desert activity and a photo magic tool! ✅ Shooting tips: Standing pose: Stand next to the ATV, one hand on the handlebar, the other on the waist or raised, chest out and head up, exuding cool and wild vibes; Riding action shot: Start the ATV and ride slowly, photographer captures from the side-rear, flying sand and motion blur add impact; Close-up: Shoot close-ups of hands gripping the handlebar and feet on pedals, with desert background, full of detail. Practical tips: ATV rental costs about 150-200 RMB/hour (subject to on-site pricing), helmets are required (provided free by the park), beginners should ride slowly, safety first; wear cargo pants or jeans for ease of movement. 【Desert Tribe・Photo Spot Cluster】 Spot details: The Desert Tribe area has various trendy photo installations (swings, signposts, colorful tents, etc.), any shot here looks great! ✅ Shooting tips: Desert swing: Sit on the swing, swing slowly, photographer captures the moment in mid-air, skirt fluttering, romantic and healing; Trendy signpost: Stand next to the signpost, point into the distance, or lean on it for a half-body shot, very artistic; Colorful tents: Use the tents as background, sit on the sand, hug knees, look up and smile, fresh and natural. Practical tips: Desert Tribe is free to enter, weekends are busier, recommend arriving early to secure spots; some installations require queuing, shoot orderly and don’t take too long. ✨ Practical Guide (Transport + Costs + Pitfalls, all essentials) Transport guide: Self-driving (recommended): From Shenyang, take the Changshen Expressway, about 3.5 hours, toll about 150 RMB; parking available in the park, about 10 RMB/day (subject to on-site fees); Public transport: Take high-speed train from Shenyang Station/Shenyang North Station to Tongliao Station, then transfer to a bus to Kulun Banner, finally taxi to the park (about 5 hours total, less convenient than driving). Cost details (per person reference): Tickets: Kulun Silver Sand Bay Scenic Area ticket about 30 RMB (subject to official latest pricing); Rental: Off-road vehicle 200-300 RMB/hour, ATV 150-200 RMB/hour, camel ride 100 RMB/round; Food: Small snack stalls in the park (barbecue skewers, instant noodles, bottled water, etc.), about 50 RMB/day per person; recommend bringing enough drinking water and snacks. Pitfall tips: Sun protection! Sun protection! Sun protection!

New York is great, but I won’t go a second time 💔|A regular traveler’s honest guide to what to avoid I have to admit, New York’s vibe is truly unique. The Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty at dusk, Central Park’s autumn sunsets, the timeless masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, street art, Broadway lights—seeing the hustle and romance of this world-class city in person is truly breathtaking. But after experiencing a solo trip firsthand, the exhaustion, hidden costs, and safety concerns add up. No matter how stunning the sights, it’s hard to want to go back. Keep this honest guide to what to avoid handy! ✨ —— 📢 Honest advice to reconsider, set your expectations early 1. Prices are generally high, and tipping is everywhere Restaurants expect 15%–20% tips by default. You also need to tip for coffee, takeout, and hotel housekeeping. Simple meals on the street start at 120 yuan per person, and full meals are over 300 yuan per person. Accommodation is expensive—basic hotels in Manhattan start at 1,000 yuan per night with small rooms. 2. The city is crowded and chaotic, which is physically draining Manhattan is extremely dense and crowded. Most attractions require walking and subway transfers, often walking tens of thousands of steps daily. Trash and homeless people are common on the streets, very different from the polished scenes in movies and TV shows. 3. The subway is old and unsafe The century-old subway system is outdated, with no air conditioning and strong odors. Late-night cars have a mixed crowd, so keep valuables close. Avoid traveling alone during early morning hours. 4. Many hidden fees and traps Observation decks, boat tours, and museums charge separately. Popular combo tickets are expensive. Street performers charge for photos, public restrooms and luggage storage usually require payment. 5. Huge differences between neighborhoods Uptown Manhattan is prosperous and clean. Brooklyn and some remote areas are chaotic. Avoid walking alone late at night. · — 📝 Essential travel info ✅ Visa: US B1/B2 tourist visa, apply in advance. Have round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready for inspection ✅ Currency: US dollars. Most malls and restaurants accept credit cards. Carry some cash for emergencies ✅ Best travel time: April–June, September–November for comfortable temperatures. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are very cold ✅ Must-haves: portable anti-theft bag, comfortable walking shoes, power adapter, mask (subway ventilation is poor) · — 🗓 Classic 5-day relaxed itinerary (no boot camp) Day 1 Downtown Manhattan landmarks Statue of Liberty boat tour (buy tickets online in advance) → Wall Street bull → Walk Brooklyn Bridge, capture Manhattan skyline sunset in the evening Day 2 Midtown core shopping district Choose either Empire State Building or Top of the Rock observation deck → Times Square → Broadway show (buy tickets online in advance for better prices) Day 3 Artsy slow day Spend the day wandering Central Park → Metropolitan Museum of Art, allow half a day or more to explore slowly, watch the park sunset in the evening Day 4 Off-the-beaten-path route High Line Park → Chelsea art district → Flatiron Building, experience the city’s popular elevated walkway Day 5 Shopping and rest Shop along Fifth Avenue or visit a lesser-known Jersey City viewpoint to avoid city crowds, then rest before heading home · — 🍽 Food guide, save money and avoid pitfalls 🔶 Affordable must-tries: Shake Shack burgers, New York pizza, bagel breakfast. Local chains offer the best value 🔶 Special experiences: Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants and trendy steakhouses are overpriced. Regular tourists don’t need to rush to these 💡 Money-saving tips 1. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets; convenience stores near attractions charge double 2. Choose pickup when ordering food to avoid delivery tips 3. Chinatown offers great value Chinese food with flavors familiar to Chinese travelers, much cheaper than Western food ⚠️ Important pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) 1️⃣ Safety first: carry your backpack in front, watch your phone and wallet in the subway and crowded areas. Don’t engage with overly friendly strangers on the street or accept gifts—they will demand tips later. 2️⃣ Buy tickets online in advance: lines are long and prices are higher on site. Book Statue of Liberty tours, observation decks, and museums on official websites ahead of time. 3️⃣ Remember tipping rules: restaurant bills don’t include tips; you need to add them separately. Leave $1–2 per day for hotel housekeeping. 4️⃣ Transportation: use the subway for short trips. For longer distances, use ride-hailing apps—they cost half as much as hailing taxis on the street. Avoid driving if unfamiliar with the area; parking is very expensive. 5️⃣ Accommodation tips: if on a budget, stay in New Jersey or Long Island suburbs with subway access to Manhattan. You can save half on housing costs but expect longer commutes. Avoid remote neighborhoods. 💰 5-day per person budget reference (excluding international flights) · Comfortable trip: 6,500–10,000 yuan (city hotels + classic attractions + several full meals) · Budget trip: 4,000–5,500 yuan (suburban lodging, public transport, affordable meals) ✨ Final honest words New York is a city of extremes, where top-tier luxury and gritty street life coexist. It’s worth visiting once to see a world-class city firsthand. But if you prefer clean, tidy, stress-free vacations and dislike high tipping and crowded environments, New York probably won’t match your travel style. Adjust your expectations before you go.

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#bucketlistdestinations Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills State Park is Ohio’s most famous hike— a 1-mile loop through a mossy gorge with waterfalls, caves, and sandstone cliffs. Entrance is free (no day-use fee), and the trailhead has a large parking lot (free, but fills by 8 am on weekends). The trail is rocky, with some steep sections and a few stairs—I wore hiking boots and watched my step on the mossy rocks. I carried 1 liter of water; there’s a water fountain at the visitor center, but not on the trail. A park ranger told me the cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s—“the moss was his carpet.” Kindness beat: a park volunteer gave me a free “Hocking Hills Explorer” booklet and told me to visit the “Devil’s Bathtub” (a nearby natural pool) early in the morning—“the moss is magical when the sun hits it.” My take: Old Man’s Cave is a reminder that “magic” can be found in your own backyard. The moss on the rocks is a sign that the forest is alive, even in a state park with millions of visitors. Should we prioritize “accessibility” in state parks, or keep some trails rugged and undeveloped?

The blend of rain and fall colors at Multnomah Falls creates a surreal, almost dreamlike feeling. #waterfalls #pacificnorthwest #pnw #beautifuldestinations #waterfalllovers #nature #pnwphotography #pnwexplored

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

#mytripvlog Beautiful Dillon Lake, known as Dillion Reserve Recreation Area in Dillon, is one of the giant freshwater lakes in Colorado where you can hike and fish.

In the United States, there are many national parks, and Denali National Park in Alaska is one of them. We were fortunate to have been able to see grizzly bears and a moose pretty close by. Together with the majestic mountains and golden yellow trees, they make for a great real life documentary! #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers

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 🫪.

#epictravelmoments The sheer, ancient majesty of the Grand Canyon hits you before you even hit the first wave, but nothing compares to the raw adrenaline when your raft drops into a roaring stretch of Class IV whitewater. As I gripped the safety ropes and felt the freezing, silty water crash over the bow, the towering red sandstone cliffs above seemed to close in, framing a narrow ribbon of sky that felt worlds away from modern life. Every plunge through the rapids was a dance between chaos and control, followed immediately by moments of unbelievable calm where the river slicked out like glass. Floating past rock layers carved over millions of years, I found myself completely captivated by the rhythm of the water, the echo of the canyon walls, and the unspoken camaraderie that forms when a group of strangers pitches in to row, rig, and navigate through one of nature's greatest masterpieces. When the sun began to dip, painting the sheer rock faces in shades of burnt orange and deep magenta, we pulled our rafts onto a isolated sandbar to set up camp under a sky bursting with stars. Gathering around a backcountry meal cooked over a camp stove, the silence of the canyon settled in, broken only by the steady murmur of the river drifting past. That night, sleeping on the warm sand with the fresh night air brushing against my face, I realized that rafting the Colorado River is far more than a thrilling sports adventure. It is a profound, grounding reset, a rare chance to unplug entirely and feel genuinely tiny in the presence of timeless geology and boundless open space. For anyone looking to experience this bucket-list expedition, proper planning is essential to pull off a seamless journey into the wilderness. Costs vary depending on the style of your trip, with short one-day or half-day runs starting around $150 to $400, while full multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 18 days typically cost anywhere between $1,500 and $6,000+ per person, which covers gear, professional guides, meals, and permits. Getting there usually starts by flying into Phoenix or Las Vegas, followed by a drive to Flagstaff or Page, Arizona, where most outfitters meet before shuttling you directly to the primary launch point at Lees Ferry. This was such an epic travel moment for me that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

When you step into Plaza de España in Seville, it feels like walking into a vibrant historical painting. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this square is the soul of Seville. Its huge semicircular layout resembles a crescent moon embedded on the east side of María Luisa Park. The architectural complex designed by Aníbal González blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and other styles, with every detail exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. 🔆 The fountain in the center of the square splashes water that sparkles under the sunlight, like a dancer of time, endlessly performing the melody of the years. The surrounding colonnade is the most stunning part. Fifty-eight mosaic tile murals depict historical scenes and landscapes from various provinces of Spain, like an open history book telling the country's glory and vicissitudes. Sitting on a bench, looking at these exquisite tile paintings, you can almost feel the life of people from different regions and hear the rolling wheels of history passing by. 💃 When flamenco music plays in the square, passionate dancers express the passion and vitality of life through their body language. You will be infected by the enthusiasm of this square and involuntarily blend into the joyful atmosphere. At sunset, it is the most beautiful moment of the square. Warm sunlight shines on the orange walls, bathing the entire square in a golden glow. The horseshoe-shaped colonnade, with the interplay of light and shadow, looks like a time tunnel, making you feel as if you can travel back to the past and converse with history. 🏵️ Plaza de España in Seville is not just a building; it is a symbol of Spanish culture and history, a place that captivates visitors, immersing them in its beauty and charm.

Philadelphia is the cradle of American history and a very walkable city. This guide condenses the highlights for you, whether for a day trip or a longer stay. 🏛️ Must-see core area (historic district) · Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: they are next to each other and are American national treasures. Be sure to reserve Independence Hall tickets on the official website in advance. Tickets are free but often sell out in peak season. · National Constitution Center: interactive exhibits vividly tell the story of the U.S. Constitution. It's next to Independence Hall and worth visiting together. 🖼️ Art and culture (two highlights) · Philadelphia Museum of Art: a world-class museum. Don't miss Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. The Rocky steps in front of the museum are a must for film fans. · Barnes Foundation: one of the world's finest collections of Impressionist art, with many works by Renoir and Cezanne. Tickets are strongly recommended in advance, and daily visitor limits apply. 🥩 Signature eats (Philadelphia specialties) · Philly cheesesteak (beef and cheese sandwich): a must-eat. Two rival longtime shops face each other across the street: Pat's and Geno's, both open 24 hours. Try a Whiz wit (with cheese sauce and onions). · Reading Terminal Market: a century-old indoor food hall. Try DiNic's roast pork sandwich (rated one of the best in the U.S.), and the Dutch-style fresh-made donuts. 📸 Off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots · Magic Garden: a whimsical courtyard of mosaic tile collages that's very photogenic. Tickets required. · Eastern State Penitentiary: once held 'Scarface' Al Capone, this Gothic prison ruin hosts special Halloween events and is impressive even for a regular visit. 🚇 Practical tips · Getting around: take the SEPTA regional rail from the airport (about $10) directly to downtown. Old City attractions are concentrated, so walking is best. · Shopping: sales tax is lower than in New York, and King of Prussia Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S., reachable by bus or taxi from the city. · Weather: hot and humid in summer, snowy in winter, and best in spring and fall. 🗺️ Ideal day-trip itinerary Morning Independence Hall → Liberty Bell → lunch at Reading Terminal Market → afternoon at the Barnes Foundation or Philadelphia Museum of Art → evening on South Street for a cheesesteak. If you have extra time, I highly recommend spending half a day visiting the University of Pennsylvania; its architecture and museums are also well worth a visit.

Las Vegas can feel surprisingly varied when a day includes wellness, dining, hotel design, and a recognizable outdoor landmark. Begin with the bubbling pool at Lapis Spa, then look inside the spacious bathroom of a Vdara studio. Mama Put adds a colorful meal with Chief, while the High Roller framed above The LINQ creates an easy evening landmark. Beauty & Essex finishes the route with a moody dining room that feels completely different from the bright spa and outdoor views. This itinerary works best with time between stops, since resort entrances and internal walkways can add more distance than expected. Save the outdoor portion for cooler weather or later in the day, and use the indoor stops as comfortable breaks. #lasvegas #thingstodo #localfood #wellness #travel2026#thingstodo#myitinerary#localfood

📍 Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Fontainebleau is one of the Strip’s newest mega-resorts—a 67-story, 3,600-plus room tower that feels more like a glossy fashion set than a casino lobby. Think marble rings of floor around giant rose sculptures, champagne-gold chandeliers, and long blue hallways that look designed for slow-motion entrance videos. It’s all very “Miami meets north Strip,” with the bow-tie logo repeating in the ceilings, carpets, and even the driveway lights. Beyond the looks, this place is built to be a full-service base: a 170,000-square-foot casino, dozens of restaurants and bars (many first-to-market concepts), and rooms that lean soft blue and grey with big windows facing either the Strip or the mountains. If you’re here for conventions, it’s right by the Las Vegas Convention Center; if you’re here for nightlife, the BleauLive Theater and on-site clubs keep the energy inside the building so you don’t have to chase Ubers up and down the Strip. #lasvegas #fontainebleau #travel #lasvegasstriphotels

#mytripvlog Historic Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in the living room of the founder of the City of Covina, J.S. Phillips, on Trinity Sunday in 1887. It turned 135 years old this year, designed by artchtector Fr. Alfred Fletcher. Steeped in liturgical traditions, it also embraces progressive values. The blue and red cart in the front of the church is a full-size replica of the one that hauled big stones from the riverbed to build the church in 1910. Address: 100 N 3rd Ave, Covina, CA 91723

Autumn in the Northwest offers only a brief 20-day window for the desert poplars. As the Gobi turns to gold and sand dunes meet lakes, this 7-day, 6-night loop—featuring desert poplars, deserts, Danxia landforms, and grasslands—unlocks the diverse landscapes of the Northwest and fulfills your dream of desert photography. The trip begins in Lanzhou, with an upgraded one-night stay at a 4-diamond hotel to help you recover from your journey. We then head to Badan Lake in the Badain Jaran Desert to witness the unique spectacle of sand dunes and lakes coexisting. With golden dunes reflected in the crystal-clear water, you can enjoy sandboarding and stroll through the sand sea, experiencing the vastness and romance unique to the desert. Heading west, discover the diverse charms of the four major desert poplar forests. At Ruoshui Jinshawan, golden poplars stand along the clear waters of the Ruoshui River, creating dreamlike reflections. Step into the ancient city of Heishui to touch the imprints of history left by the Silk Road. At dusk, witness the stunning sunset at the "Strange Tree Forest," where the gnarled, withered poplars create desolate silhouettes against the evening glow, revealing the resilient spirit of these trees that are said to "live for a thousand years." In the early morning, head to Juyan Lake to watch the sunrise as the sun rises over the water, gilding the reeds and watching water birds skim across the sparkling surface—every moment is picture-perfect. Spend a full day exploring the Ejina Poplar Forest, visiting the Erdaoqiao Reflection Forest and Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, where the movie "Hero" was filmed. We also include admission tickets to the Desert Poplar Forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in the golden sea of trees. We have also reserved ample time to explore the Jinta Poplar Forest, where the water perfectly mirrors the golden canopy, making it an ideal spot for photography. After bidding farewell to the poplar forests, head to the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon, where the crisscrossing reddish-brown gullies offer a geological spectacle comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Finally, visit the Binggou River Scenic Area, where snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands unfold like an autumn oil painting. Experience the gentle poetry of the Northwest beneath the Qilian Mountains before returning to Lanzhou, where the tour concludes. September–October is the peak season for the desert poplars. Don't miss this limited golden window—pack your camera and embark on this autumn rendezvous with the thousand-year-old trees!

A 3.5-hour drive from Nanjing, you enter the autumn secret realm of Southern Anhui—featuring the crystal-clear waters of the "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden waves of rice fields, and the original Huizhou-style charm of ancient towns. This "beautiful scenery with fewer people" treasure route is a must-get❗️ 🌿 The itinerary can be three days and two nights or two days and one night Day 1: Nanjing → Kushan Village, Shitai → Baishiling (first encounter with rice fields and ancient village) Day 2: Baishiling → Guniujiang ("Little Jiuzhaigou" of Southern Anhui, a mountain and water healing spot) Day 3 (optional): Guniujiang → Lixi, Qimen → Return (slow time in Huizhou-style ancient town) 📍 Practical tips to copy directly · Transportation: Best to self-drive the whole way. Nanjing → Shitai 3.5h, Shitai → Guniujiang 1h, Guniujiang → Lixi 1.5h. The mountain roads are smooth; slow down in rainy weather. · Tickets: Guniujiang 108 RMB/person (includes shuttle bus, half price for students); Kushan, Baishiling, and Lixi are all free. · Accommodation: Many homestays available, not too tight, so I won’t specifically recommend any~ This Southern Anhui self-drive trip avoids crowded popular spots but lets you gather the clear waters of "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden rice fields, and the tranquility of ancient towns all in one go. Take advantage of the tail end of autumn for a wonderful and peaceful journey~ creator academy

Captured some of the best photos of my life in the Kulun Desert✨ Endless seas of sand, silhouettes under the sunset glow, wild off-road motorcycles… Every spot holds the secret to great shots.

New York is great, but I won’t go a second time 💔|A regular traveler’s honest guide to what to avoid I have to admit, New York’s vibe is truly unique. The Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty at dusk, Central Park’s autumn sunsets, the timeless masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, street art, Broadway lights—seeing the hustle and romance of this world-class city in person is truly breathtaking. But after experiencing a solo trip firsthand, the exhaustion, hidden costs, and safety concerns add up. No matter how stunning the sights, it’s hard to want to go back. Keep this honest guide to what to avoid handy! ✨ —— 📢 Honest advice to reconsider, set your expectations early 1. Prices are generally high, and tipping is everywhere Restaurants expect 15%–20% tips by default. You also need to tip for coffee, takeout, and hotel housekeeping. Simple meals on the street start at 120 yuan per person, and full meals are over 300 yuan per person. Accommodation is expensive—basic hotels in Manhattan start at 1,000 yuan per night with small rooms. 2. The city is crowded and chaotic, which is physically draining Manhattan is extremely dense and crowded. Most attractions require walking and subway transfers, often walking tens of thousands of steps daily. Trash and homeless people are common on the streets, very different from the polished scenes in movies and TV shows. 3. The subway is old and unsafe The century-old subway system is outdated, with no air conditioning and strong odors. Late-night cars have a mixed crowd, so keep valuables close. Avoid traveling alone during early morning hours. 4. Many hidden fees and traps Observation decks, boat tours, and museums charge separately. Popular combo tickets are expensive. Street performers charge for photos, public restrooms and luggage storage usually require payment. 5. Huge differences between neighborhoods Uptown Manhattan is prosperous and clean. Brooklyn and some remote areas are chaotic. Avoid walking alone late at night. · — 📝 Essential travel info ✅ Visa: US B1/B2 tourist visa, apply in advance. Have round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready for inspection ✅ Currency: US dollars. Most malls and restaurants accept credit cards. Carry some cash for emergencies ✅ Best travel time: April–June, September–November for comfortable temperatures. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are very cold ✅ Must-haves: portable anti-theft bag, comfortable walking shoes, power adapter, mask (subway ventilation is poor) · — 🗓 Classic 5-day relaxed itinerary (no boot camp) Day 1 Downtown Manhattan landmarks Statue of Liberty boat tour (buy tickets online in advance) → Wall Street bull → Walk Brooklyn Bridge, capture Manhattan skyline sunset in the evening Day 2 Midtown core shopping district Choose either Empire State Building or Top of the Rock observation deck → Times Square → Broadway show (buy tickets online in advance for better prices) Day 3 Artsy slow day Spend the day wandering Central Park → Metropolitan Museum of Art, allow half a day or more to explore slowly, watch the park sunset in the evening Day 4 Off-the-beaten-path route High Line Park → Chelsea art district → Flatiron Building, experience the city’s popular elevated walkway Day 5 Shopping and rest Shop along Fifth Avenue or visit a lesser-known Jersey City viewpoint to avoid city crowds, then rest before heading home · — 🍽 Food guide, save money and avoid pitfalls 🔶 Affordable must-tries: Shake Shack burgers, New York pizza, bagel breakfast. Local chains offer the best value 🔶 Special experiences: Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants and trendy steakhouses are overpriced. Regular tourists don’t need to rush to these 💡 Money-saving tips 1. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets; convenience stores near attractions charge double 2. Choose pickup when ordering food to avoid delivery tips 3. Chinatown offers great value Chinese food with flavors familiar to Chinese travelers, much cheaper than Western food ⚠️ Important pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) 1️⃣ Safety first: carry your backpack in front, watch your phone and wallet in the subway and crowded areas. Don’t engage with overly friendly strangers on the street or accept gifts—they will demand tips later. 2️⃣ Buy tickets online in advance: lines are long and prices are higher on site. Book Statue of Liberty tours, observation decks, and museums on official websites ahead of time. 3️⃣ Remember tipping rules: restaurant bills don’t include tips; you need to add them separately. Leave $1–2 per day for hotel housekeeping. 4️⃣ Transportation: use the subway for short trips. For longer distances, use ride-hailing apps—they cost half as much as hailing taxis on the street. Avoid driving if unfamiliar with the area; parking is very expensive. 5️⃣ Accommodation tips: if on a budget, stay in New Jersey or Long Island suburbs with subway access to Manhattan. You can save half on housing costs but expect longer commutes. Avoid remote neighborhoods. 💰 5-day per person budget reference (excluding international flights) · Comfortable trip: 6,500–10,000 yuan (city hotels + classic attractions + several full meals) · Budget trip: 4,000–5,500 yuan (suburban lodging, public transport, affordable meals) ✨ Final honest words New York is a city of extremes, where top-tier luxury and gritty street life coexist. It’s worth visiting once to see a world-class city firsthand. But if you prefer clean, tidy, stress-free vacations and dislike high tipping and crowded environments, New York probably won’t match your travel style. Adjust your expectations before you go.

#bucketlistdestinations Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills State Park is Ohio’s most famous hike— a 1-mile loop through a mossy gorge with waterfalls, caves, and sandstone cliffs. Entrance is free (no day-use fee), and the trailhead has a large parking lot (free, but fills by 8 am on weekends). The trail is rocky, with some steep sections and a few stairs—I wore hiking boots and watched my step on the mossy rocks. I carried 1 liter of water; there’s a water fountain at the visitor center, but not on the trail. A park ranger told me the cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s—“the moss was his carpet.” Kindness beat: a park volunteer gave me a free “Hocking Hills Explorer” booklet and told me to visit the “Devil’s Bathtub” (a nearby natural pool) early in the morning—“the moss is magical when the sun hits it.” My take: Old Man’s Cave is a reminder that “magic” can be found in your own backyard. The moss on the rocks is a sign that the forest is alive, even in a state park with millions of visitors. Should we prioritize “accessibility” in state parks, or keep some trails rugged and undeveloped?

The blend of rain and fall colors at Multnomah Falls creates a surreal, almost dreamlike feeling. #waterfalls #pacificnorthwest #pnw #beautifuldestinations #waterfalllovers #nature #pnwphotography #pnwexplored

⛳️🌍The wildest golf courses in the world, dare to play? Here, golf is not just a sport but a life experience! The 6 wildest golf courses in the world⛳️!

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

#mytripvlog Beautiful Dillon Lake, known as Dillion Reserve Recreation Area in Dillon, is one of the giant freshwater lakes in Colorado where you can hike and fish.

In the United States, there are many national parks, and Denali National Park in Alaska is one of them. We were fortunate to have been able to see grizzly bears and a moose pretty close by. Together with the majestic mountains and golden yellow trees, they make for a great real life documentary! #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers

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 🫪.

#epictravelmoments The sheer, ancient majesty of the Grand Canyon hits you before you even hit the first wave, but nothing compares to the raw adrenaline when your raft drops into a roaring stretch of Class IV whitewater. As I gripped the safety ropes and felt the freezing, silty water crash over the bow, the towering red sandstone cliffs above seemed to close in, framing a narrow ribbon of sky that felt worlds away from modern life. Every plunge through the rapids was a dance between chaos and control, followed immediately by moments of unbelievable calm where the river slicked out like glass. Floating past rock layers carved over millions of years, I found myself completely captivated by the rhythm of the water, the echo of the canyon walls, and the unspoken camaraderie that forms when a group of strangers pitches in to row, rig, and navigate through one of nature's greatest masterpieces. When the sun began to dip, painting the sheer rock faces in shades of burnt orange and deep magenta, we pulled our rafts onto a isolated sandbar to set up camp under a sky bursting with stars. Gathering around a backcountry meal cooked over a camp stove, the silence of the canyon settled in, broken only by the steady murmur of the river drifting past. That night, sleeping on the warm sand with the fresh night air brushing against my face, I realized that rafting the Colorado River is far more than a thrilling sports adventure. It is a profound, grounding reset, a rare chance to unplug entirely and feel genuinely tiny in the presence of timeless geology and boundless open space. For anyone looking to experience this bucket-list expedition, proper planning is essential to pull off a seamless journey into the wilderness. Costs vary depending on the style of your trip, with short one-day or half-day runs starting around $150 to $400, while full multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 18 days typically cost anywhere between $1,500 and $6,000+ per person, which covers gear, professional guides, meals, and permits. Getting there usually starts by flying into Phoenix or Las Vegas, followed by a drive to Flagstaff or Page, Arizona, where most outfitters meet before shuttling you directly to the primary launch point at Lees Ferry. This was such an epic travel moment for me that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

#photovsrealitytravel Everyone sees gorgeous pictures of Lake Tahoe, but does reality actually live up to the hype? The short answer is yes.

When you step into Plaza de España in Seville, it feels like walking into a vibrant historical painting. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this square is the soul of Seville. Its huge semicircular layout resembles a crescent moon embedded on the east side of María Luisa Park. The architectural complex designed by Aníbal González blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and other styles, with every detail exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. 🔆 The fountain in the center of the square splashes water that sparkles under the sunlight, like a dancer of time, endlessly performing the melody of the years. The surrounding colonnade is the most stunning part. Fifty-eight mosaic tile murals depict historical scenes and landscapes from various provinces of Spain, like an open history book telling the country's glory and vicissitudes. Sitting on a bench, looking at these exquisite tile paintings, you can almost feel the life of people from different regions and hear the rolling wheels of history passing by. 💃 When flamenco music plays in the square, passionate dancers express the passion and vitality of life through their body language. You will be infected by the enthusiasm of this square and involuntarily blend into the joyful atmosphere. At sunset, it is the most beautiful moment of the square. Warm sunlight shines on the orange walls, bathing the entire square in a golden glow. The horseshoe-shaped colonnade, with the interplay of light and shadow, looks like a time tunnel, making you feel as if you can travel back to the past and converse with history. 🏵️ Plaza de España in Seville is not just a building; it is a symbol of Spanish culture and history, a place that captivates visitors, immersing them in its beauty and charm.

Philadelphia is the cradle of American history and a very walkable city. This guide condenses the highlights for you, whether for a day trip or a longer stay. 🏛️ Must-see core area (historic district) · Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: they are next to each other and are American national treasures. Be sure to reserve Independence Hall tickets on the official website in advance. Tickets are free but often sell out in peak season. · National Constitution Center: interactive exhibits vividly tell the story of the U.S. Constitution. It's next to Independence Hall and worth visiting together. 🖼️ Art and culture (two highlights) · Philadelphia Museum of Art: a world-class museum. Don't miss Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. The Rocky steps in front of the museum are a must for film fans. · Barnes Foundation: one of the world's finest collections of Impressionist art, with many works by Renoir and Cezanne. Tickets are strongly recommended in advance, and daily visitor limits apply. 🥩 Signature eats (Philadelphia specialties) · Philly cheesesteak (beef and cheese sandwich): a must-eat. Two rival longtime shops face each other across the street: Pat's and Geno's, both open 24 hours. Try a Whiz wit (with cheese sauce and onions). · Reading Terminal Market: a century-old indoor food hall. Try DiNic's roast pork sandwich (rated one of the best in the U.S.), and the Dutch-style fresh-made donuts. 📸 Off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots · Magic Garden: a whimsical courtyard of mosaic tile collages that's very photogenic. Tickets required. · Eastern State Penitentiary: once held 'Scarface' Al Capone, this Gothic prison ruin hosts special Halloween events and is impressive even for a regular visit. 🚇 Practical tips · Getting around: take the SEPTA regional rail from the airport (about $10) directly to downtown. Old City attractions are concentrated, so walking is best. · Shopping: sales tax is lower than in New York, and King of Prussia Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S., reachable by bus or taxi from the city. · Weather: hot and humid in summer, snowy in winter, and best in spring and fall. 🗺️ Ideal day-trip itinerary Morning Independence Hall → Liberty Bell → lunch at Reading Terminal Market → afternoon at the Barnes Foundation or Philadelphia Museum of Art → evening on South Street for a cheesesteak. If you have extra time, I highly recommend spending half a day visiting the University of Pennsylvania; its architecture and museums are also well worth a visit.

Las Vegas can feel surprisingly varied when a day includes wellness, dining, hotel design, and a recognizable outdoor landmark. Begin with the bubbling pool at Lapis Spa, then look inside the spacious bathroom of a Vdara studio. Mama Put adds a colorful meal with Chief, while the High Roller framed above The LINQ creates an easy evening landmark. Beauty & Essex finishes the route with a moody dining room that feels completely different from the bright spa and outdoor views. This itinerary works best with time between stops, since resort entrances and internal walkways can add more distance than expected. Save the outdoor portion for cooler weather or later in the day, and use the indoor stops as comfortable breaks. #lasvegas #thingstodo #localfood #wellness #travel2026#thingstodo#myitinerary#localfood

📍 Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Fontainebleau is one of the Strip’s newest mega-resorts—a 67-story, 3,600-plus room tower that feels more like a glossy fashion set than a casino lobby. Think marble rings of floor around giant rose sculptures, champagne-gold chandeliers, and long blue hallways that look designed for slow-motion entrance videos. It’s all very “Miami meets north Strip,” with the bow-tie logo repeating in the ceilings, carpets, and even the driveway lights. Beyond the looks, this place is built to be a full-service base: a 170,000-square-foot casino, dozens of restaurants and bars (many first-to-market concepts), and rooms that lean soft blue and grey with big windows facing either the Strip or the mountains. If you’re here for conventions, it’s right by the Las Vegas Convention Center; if you’re here for nightlife, the BleauLive Theater and on-site clubs keep the energy inside the building so you don’t have to chase Ubers up and down the Strip. #lasvegas #fontainebleau #travel #lasvegasstriphotels

#mytripvlog Historic Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in the living room of the founder of the City of Covina, J.S. Phillips, on Trinity Sunday in 1887. It turned 135 years old this year, designed by artchtector Fr. Alfred Fletcher. Steeped in liturgical traditions, it also embraces progressive values. The blue and red cart in the front of the church is a full-size replica of the one that hauled big stones from the riverbed to build the church in 1910. Address: 100 N 3rd Ave, Covina, CA 91723

Autumn in the Northwest offers only a brief 20-day window for the desert poplars. As the Gobi turns to gold and sand dunes meet lakes, this 7-day, 6-night loop—featuring desert poplars, deserts, Danxia landforms, and grasslands—unlocks the diverse landscapes of the Northwest and fulfills your dream of desert photography. The trip begins in Lanzhou, with an upgraded one-night stay at a 4-diamond hotel to help you recover from your journey. We then head to Badan Lake in the Badain Jaran Desert to witness the unique spectacle of sand dunes and lakes coexisting. With golden dunes reflected in the crystal-clear water, you can enjoy sandboarding and stroll through the sand sea, experiencing the vastness and romance unique to the desert. Heading west, discover the diverse charms of the four major desert poplar forests. At Ruoshui Jinshawan, golden poplars stand along the clear waters of the Ruoshui River, creating dreamlike reflections. Step into the ancient city of Heishui to touch the imprints of history left by the Silk Road. At dusk, witness the stunning sunset at the "Strange Tree Forest," where the gnarled, withered poplars create desolate silhouettes against the evening glow, revealing the resilient spirit of these trees that are said to "live for a thousand years." In the early morning, head to Juyan Lake to watch the sunrise as the sun rises over the water, gilding the reeds and watching water birds skim across the sparkling surface—every moment is picture-perfect. Spend a full day exploring the Ejina Poplar Forest, visiting the Erdaoqiao Reflection Forest and Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, where the movie "Hero" was filmed. We also include admission tickets to the Desert Poplar Forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in the golden sea of trees. We have also reserved ample time to explore the Jinta Poplar Forest, where the water perfectly mirrors the golden canopy, making it an ideal spot for photography. After bidding farewell to the poplar forests, head to the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon, where the crisscrossing reddish-brown gullies offer a geological spectacle comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Finally, visit the Binggou River Scenic Area, where snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands unfold like an autumn oil painting. Experience the gentle poetry of the Northwest beneath the Qilian Mountains before returning to Lanzhou, where the tour concludes. September–October is the peak season for the desert poplars. Don't miss this limited golden window—pack your camera and embark on this autumn rendezvous with the thousand-year-old trees!

A 3.5-hour drive from Nanjing, you enter the autumn secret realm of Southern Anhui—featuring the crystal-clear waters of the "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden waves of rice fields, and the original Huizhou-style charm of ancient towns. This "beautiful scenery with fewer people" treasure route is a must-get❗️ 🌿 The itinerary can be three days and two nights or two days and one night Day 1: Nanjing → Kushan Village, Shitai → Baishiling (first encounter with rice fields and ancient village) Day 2: Baishiling → Guniujiang ("Little Jiuzhaigou" of Southern Anhui, a mountain and water healing spot) Day 3 (optional): Guniujiang → Lixi, Qimen → Return (slow time in Huizhou-style ancient town) 📍 Practical tips to copy directly · Transportation: Best to self-drive the whole way. Nanjing → Shitai 3.5h, Shitai → Guniujiang 1h, Guniujiang → Lixi 1.5h. The mountain roads are smooth; slow down in rainy weather. · Tickets: Guniujiang 108 RMB/person (includes shuttle bus, half price for students); Kushan, Baishiling, and Lixi are all free. · Accommodation: Many homestays available, not too tight, so I won’t specifically recommend any~ This Southern Anhui self-drive trip avoids crowded popular spots but lets you gather the clear waters of "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden rice fields, and the tranquility of ancient towns all in one go. Take advantage of the tail end of autumn for a wonderful and peaceful journey~ creator academy

Departure City: About 3.5 hours drive from Albuquerque 2. Road Conditions: The last 10 miles are gravel and dirt roads, bumpy and full of potholes; a four-wheel drive or high-clearance off-road vehicle is required; regular cars are very likely to scrape the bottom 3. Travel Tips: Gas stations are scarce along the way; fill up the tank before departure; no public transportation available, self-driving only 4. Best Photography Times: 2 hours after sunrise and 1.5 hours before sunset for the most saturated rock colors; at night, you can shoot the desert Milky Way starry sky 🗺️ Three Core Routes 1. Badlands Overlook | 360° Danxia Panorama The highest point in the area, surrounded by colorful rock pillars in a ring. In the early morning, mist covers the iconic mushroom rocks, creating a full atmospheric vibe. Photography Tips: Use a wide-angle lens for panoramic canyon shots and a telephoto lens to compress rock layers; wear bright red, orange, or yellow clothing to contrast with the earth-yellow and orange-red rock walls for striking photos. 2. Fossil Valley Trail | Jurassic Archaeological Site The trail surface is scattered with numerous dinosaur bone fossils visible up close, but strict rules apply: · Maintain a 1.5-meter safe distance from fossils; no stepping on or climbing the rock layers · You may bring a small brush to clean off loose dirt for a simple archaeological experience; it is illegal to remove any fossils · The ground clay is soft; stay on existing trails and avoid stepping on soil slopes 3. Alien Canyon | Sci-Fi Filming Location The most famous spot in the entire park, with fluorescent orange, mint green, and creamy white multi-layered rocks interwoven, creating a surreal color clash like an alien surface. ⚠️ Safety Reminder: The rock walls are loose and prone to collapse; strictly follow marked routes and do not venture deep into the canyon. 🌌 Night Tour Exclusive: Desert Milky Way Starry Night Far from city light pollution, the entire wilderness reveals the full Milky Way to the naked eye at night. The rock pillars framed against the starry sky create a powerful visual impact. Photography Gear: Tripod, large aperture camera, headlamp; use long exposure of 10–15 seconds, ISO 1600–3200 to easily capture stunning star trails. Tips: The desert has extreme temperature differences between day and night; bring a windproof thick jacket for nighttime. 🎒 Essential Packing List · Clothing: High-top anti-slip hiking boots, windproof face mask, wide-brim sun hat · Water: Large capacity water bags with at least 3 liters per person; the desert has no shade and intense sun exposure, with a high risk of dehydration · Equipment: Satellite GPS/offline maps, camera + tripod, sunscreen with SPF 50+ · Others: Basic first aid kit, some dry snacks, trash bags (all trash must be carried out) ⚠️ Strict Safety Rules & Pitfall Warnings 1.

Drone Restrictions: Drones are prohibited throughout the protected area; violations will be penalized 3. Wildlife Encounters: If you encounter rattlesnakes or venomous lizards, stay still and slowly back away without disturbing them 4.

Captured some of the best photos of my life in the Kulun Desert✨ Endless seas of sand, silhouettes under the sunset glow, wild off-road motorcycles… Every spot holds the secret to great shots. This personally tested guide with 5 key photo locations + detailed tips will help you easily unlock the desert’s romance and wildness. Even beginners can shoot stunning photos without any pitfalls! 📸 Key Photo Spots (Beginner-friendly tutorial with details) 【Sand Ridge Line・Ultimate Atmosphere】 Spot details: The top sand ridge line of any tall dune is the soul of desert photography! ✅ Shooting tips: Wide shot: Have the photographer shoot upward from the dune base, with the person standing in the middle of the ridge line, arms spread or naturally down, background is the endless sand sea, instantly highlighting the vastness and smallness; Close-up: Sit on the ridge, legs naturally extended to one side (crossed or straight), showing off long legs! Photographer shoots from a 45° side angle, using light and shadow to outline body lines, shoot one hour before sunset for warm, atmospheric light; Dynamic: Walk slowly along the ridge line, capturing moments of skirt or clothing fluttering, wild and free. Practical tips: Wear light or contrasting colors (white, red, ginger yellow) to strongly contrast with the yellow sand; avoid harsh midday light, best to shoot before 9 AM or at dusk. 【Desert Off-road Vehicle・Must-have for Trendy Girls】 Spot details: The orange off-road vehicles in the park come with a built-in trendy filter, 100% photo success rate! ✅ Shooting tips: Cool getting off: One foot on the pedal, body slightly turned, hand on the door, wearing sunglasses looking into the distance, instantly full of trendy girl vibes; Leaning on the hood: Sit on the hood, legs bent, hands supporting behind, head tilted back looking at the sky, casual yet cool; Inside view: Sit in the driver’s seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other playing with hair, shoot a half-body shot from outside the window, full of story. Practical tips: Off-road vehicles can be rented (about 200-300 RMB/hour, subject to on-site pricing), communicate with the owner before shooting; some owners allow free exterior shots; watch your feet to avoid scratching the vehicle. 【Desert Camels・Silk Road Vibes】 Spot details: The park offers camel rides; using camels as props instantly boosts atmosphere! ✅ Shooting tips: Side shot: Ride the camel, hold the reins firmly, body slightly turned, looking into the distance, photographer shoots full body from the side, creating a vintage “Silk Road” feel; Long-distance telephoto: Have a friend shoot from afar with a telephoto lens, person riding camel walking in the sand sea, small figure contrasting with vast desert, stunning mood; Static interaction: Stand beside the camel, gently stroke its neck (stay safe and follow the handler’s instructions), shoot a half-body shot, gentle and full of story. Practical tips: Camel rides cost about 100 RMB per round (subject to on-site pricing); don’t scare the camels when shooting; wearing long skirts or ethnic-style clothing fits the Silk Road theme better. 【ATV Off-road Motorcycle・Wild Style】 Spot details: ATV is the most stress-relieving desert activity and a photo magic tool! ✅ Shooting tips: Standing pose: Stand next to the ATV, one hand on the handlebar, the other on the waist or raised, chest out and head up, exuding cool and wild vibes; Riding action shot: Start the ATV and ride slowly, photographer captures from the side-rear, flying sand and motion blur add impact; Close-up: Shoot close-ups of hands gripping the handlebar and feet on pedals, with desert background, full of detail. Practical tips: ATV rental costs about 150-200 RMB/hour (subject to on-site pricing), helmets are required (provided free by the park), beginners should ride slowly, safety first; wear cargo pants or jeans for ease of movement. 【Desert Tribe・Photo Spot Cluster】 Spot details: The Desert Tribe area has various trendy photo installations (swings, signposts, colorful tents, etc.), any shot here looks great! ✅ Shooting tips: Desert swing: Sit on the swing, swing slowly, photographer captures the moment in mid-air, skirt fluttering, romantic and healing; Trendy signpost: Stand next to the signpost, point into the distance, or lean on it for a half-body shot, very artistic; Colorful tents: Use the tents as background, sit on the sand, hug knees, look up and smile, fresh and natural. Practical tips: Desert Tribe is free to enter, weekends are busier, recommend arriving early to secure spots; some installations require queuing, shoot orderly and don’t take too long. ✨ Practical Guide (Transport + Costs + Pitfalls, all essentials) Transport guide: Self-driving (recommended): From Shenyang, take the Changshen Expressway, about 3.5 hours, toll about 150 RMB; parking available in the park, about 10 RMB/day (subject to on-site fees); Public transport: Take high-speed train from Shenyang Station/Shenyang North Station to Tongliao Station, then transfer to a bus to Kulun Banner, finally taxi to the park (about 5 hours total, less convenient than driving).

New York is great, but I won’t go a second time 💔|A regular traveler’s honest guide to what to avoid I have to admit, New York’s vibe is truly unique. The Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty at dusk, Central Park’s autumn sunsets, the timeless masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, street art, Broadway lights—seeing the hustle and romance of this world-class city in person is truly breathtaking. But after experiencing a solo trip firsthand, the exhaustion, hidden costs, and safety concerns add up. No matter how stunning the sights, it’s hard to want to go back. Keep this honest guide to what to avoid handy! ✨ —— 📢 Honest advice to reconsider, set your expectations early 1. Prices are generally high, and tipping is everywhere Restaurants expect 15%–20% tips by default. You also need to tip for coffee, takeout, and hotel housekeeping. Simple meals on the street start at 120 yuan per person, and full meals are over 300 yuan per person. Accommodation is expensive—basic hotels in Manhattan start at 1,000 yuan per night with small rooms. 2. The city is crowded and chaotic, which is physically draining Manhattan is extremely dense and crowded. Most attractions require walking and subway transfers, often walking tens of thousands of steps daily. Trash and homeless people are common on the streets, very different from the polished scenes in movies and TV shows. 3. The subway is old and unsafe The century-old subway system is outdated, with no air conditioning and strong odors. Late-night cars have a mixed crowd, so keep valuables close. Avoid traveling alone during early morning hours. 4. Many hidden fees and traps Observation decks, boat tours, and museums charge separately. Popular combo tickets are expensive. Street performers charge for photos, public restrooms and luggage storage usually require payment. 5. Huge differences between neighborhoods Uptown Manhattan is prosperous and clean. Brooklyn and some remote areas are chaotic. Avoid walking alone late at night. · — 📝 Essential travel info ✅ Visa: US B1/B2 tourist visa, apply in advance. Have round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready for inspection ✅ Currency: US dollars. Most malls and restaurants accept credit cards. Carry some cash for emergencies ✅ Best travel time: April–June, September–November for comfortable temperatures. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are very cold ✅ Must-haves: portable anti-theft bag, comfortable walking shoes, power adapter, mask (subway ventilation is poor) · — 🗓 Classic 5-day relaxed itinerary (no boot camp) Day 1 Downtown Manhattan landmarks Statue of Liberty boat tour (buy tickets online in advance) → Wall Street bull → Walk Brooklyn Bridge, capture Manhattan skyline sunset in the evening Day 2 Midtown core shopping district Choose either Empire State Building or Top of the Rock observation deck → Times Square → Broadway show (buy tickets online in advance for better prices) Day 3 Artsy slow day Spend the day wandering Central Park → Metropolitan Museum of Art, allow half a day or more to explore slowly, watch the park sunset in the evening Day 4 Off-the-beaten-path route High Line Park → Chelsea art district → Flatiron Building, experience the city’s popular elevated walkway Day 5 Shopping and rest Shop along Fifth Avenue or visit a lesser-known Jersey City viewpoint to avoid city crowds, then rest before heading home · — 🍽 Food guide, save money and avoid pitfalls 🔶 Affordable must-tries: Shake Shack burgers, New York pizza, bagel breakfast. Local chains offer the best value 🔶 Special experiences: Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants and trendy steakhouses are overpriced. Regular tourists don’t need to rush to these 💡 Money-saving tips 1. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets; convenience stores near attractions charge double 2. Choose pickup when ordering food to avoid delivery tips 3. Chinatown offers great value Chinese food with flavors familiar to Chinese travelers, much cheaper than Western food ⚠️ Important pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) 1️⃣ Safety first: carry your backpack in front, watch your phone and wallet in the subway and crowded areas. Don’t engage with overly friendly strangers on the street or accept gifts—they will demand tips later. 2️⃣ Buy tickets online in advance: lines are long and prices are higher on site. Book Statue of Liberty tours, observation decks, and museums on official websites ahead of time. 3️⃣ Remember tipping rules: restaurant bills don’t include tips; you need to add them separately. Leave $1–2 per day for hotel housekeeping. 4️⃣ Transportation: use the subway for short trips. For longer distances, use ride-hailing apps—they cost half as much as hailing taxis on the street. Avoid driving if unfamiliar with the area; parking is very expensive. 5️⃣ Accommodation tips: if on a budget, stay in New Jersey or Long Island suburbs with subway access to Manhattan. You can save half on housing costs but expect longer commutes. Avoid remote neighborhoods. 💰 5-day per person budget reference (excluding international flights) · Comfortable trip: 6,500–10,000 yuan (city hotels + classic attractions + several full meals) · Budget trip: 4,000–5,500 yuan (suburban lodging, public transport, affordable meals) ✨ Final honest words New York is a city of extremes, where top-tier luxury and gritty street life coexist. It’s worth visiting once to see a world-class city firsthand. But if you prefer clean, tidy, stress-free vacations and dislike high tipping and crowded environments, New York probably won’t match your travel style. Adjust your expectations before you go.

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#bucketlistdestinations Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills State Park is Ohio’s most famous hike— a 1-mile loop through a mossy gorge with waterfalls, caves, and sandstone cliffs. Entrance is free (no day-use fee), and the trailhead has a large parking lot (free, but fills by 8 am on weekends). The trail is rocky, with some steep sections and a few stairs—I wore hiking boots and watched my step on the mossy rocks. I carried 1 liter of water; there’s a water fountain at the visitor center, but not on the trail. A park ranger told me the cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s—“the moss was his carpet.” Kindness beat: a park volunteer gave me a free “Hocking Hills Explorer” booklet and told me to visit the “Devil’s Bathtub” (a nearby natural pool) early in the morning—“the moss is magical when the sun hits it.” My take: Old Man’s Cave is a reminder that “magic” can be found in your own backyard. The moss on the rocks is a sign that the forest is alive, even in a state park with millions of visitors. Should we prioritize “accessibility” in state parks, or keep some trails rugged and undeveloped?

The blend of rain and fall colors at Multnomah Falls creates a surreal, almost dreamlike feeling. #waterfalls #pacificnorthwest #pnw #beautifuldestinations #waterfalllovers #nature #pnwphotography #pnwexplored

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

#mytripvlog Beautiful Dillon Lake, known as Dillion Reserve Recreation Area in Dillon, is one of the giant freshwater lakes in Colorado where you can hike and fish.

In the United States, there are many national parks, and Denali National Park in Alaska is one of them. We were fortunate to have been able to see grizzly bears and a moose pretty close by. Together with the majestic mountains and golden yellow trees, they make for a great real life documentary! #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers

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 🫪.

#epictravelmoments The sheer, ancient majesty of the Grand Canyon hits you before you even hit the first wave, but nothing compares to the raw adrenaline when your raft drops into a roaring stretch of Class IV whitewater. As I gripped the safety ropes and felt the freezing, silty water crash over the bow, the towering red sandstone cliffs above seemed to close in, framing a narrow ribbon of sky that felt worlds away from modern life. Every plunge through the rapids was a dance between chaos and control, followed immediately by moments of unbelievable calm where the river slicked out like glass. Floating past rock layers carved over millions of years, I found myself completely captivated by the rhythm of the water, the echo of the canyon walls, and the unspoken camaraderie that forms when a group of strangers pitches in to row, rig, and navigate through one of nature's greatest masterpieces. When the sun began to dip, painting the sheer rock faces in shades of burnt orange and deep magenta, we pulled our rafts onto a isolated sandbar to set up camp under a sky bursting with stars. Gathering around a backcountry meal cooked over a camp stove, the silence of the canyon settled in, broken only by the steady murmur of the river drifting past. That night, sleeping on the warm sand with the fresh night air brushing against my face, I realized that rafting the Colorado River is far more than a thrilling sports adventure. It is a profound, grounding reset, a rare chance to unplug entirely and feel genuinely tiny in the presence of timeless geology and boundless open space. For anyone looking to experience this bucket-list expedition, proper planning is essential to pull off a seamless journey into the wilderness. Costs vary depending on the style of your trip, with short one-day or half-day runs starting around $150 to $400, while full multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 18 days typically cost anywhere between $1,500 and $6,000+ per person, which covers gear, professional guides, meals, and permits. Getting there usually starts by flying into Phoenix or Las Vegas, followed by a drive to Flagstaff or Page, Arizona, where most outfitters meet before shuttling you directly to the primary launch point at Lees Ferry. This was such an epic travel moment for me that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

#photovsrealitytravel Everyone sees gorgeous pictures of Lake Tahoe, but does reality actually live up to the hype? The short answer is yes. In fact, these lesser known spots look even more breathtaking when you step onto the clear water and soft granite shores in person. Hidden Spots to Visit: · Secret Cove Location: East Shore near Incline Village Price: Free access · Monkey Rock Location: Incline Village trailhead Price: Free · Chimney Beach Location: East Shore, Nevada Price: Free · Eagle Rock Trail Location: West Shore near Homewood Price: Free · Whale Beach Location: East Shore, Lake Tahoe Price: Free Tips and Facts: · The water really is that brilliant turquoise in person, especially around midday when the sun shines directly overhead. · Camera lenses often miss the incredible scale of the surrounding mountains, so make sure to take in the full panoramic view in person. · Wearing polarized sunglasses gives you the same crystal clear underwater view in real life that professional photography captures. · Mistake to avoid: Parking along the narrow highway shoulders in undesignated zones, which can lead to heavy fines and long walks. · Mistake to avoid: Wearing slippery flat shoes on the steep, sandy paths that lead down to these secluded shores.

When you step into Plaza de España in Seville, it feels like walking into a vibrant historical painting. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this square is the soul of Seville. Its huge semicircular layout resembles a crescent moon embedded on the east side of María Luisa Park. The architectural complex designed by Aníbal González blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and other styles, with every detail exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. 🔆 The fountain in the center of the square splashes water that sparkles under the sunlight, like a dancer of time, endlessly performing the melody of the years. The surrounding colonnade is the most stunning part. Fifty-eight mosaic tile murals depict historical scenes and landscapes from various provinces of Spain, like an open history book telling the country's glory and vicissitudes. Sitting on a bench, looking at these exquisite tile paintings, you can almost feel the life of people from different regions and hear the rolling wheels of history passing by. 💃 When flamenco music plays in the square, passionate dancers express the passion and vitality of life through their body language. You will be infected by the enthusiasm of this square and involuntarily blend into the joyful atmosphere. At sunset, it is the most beautiful moment of the square. Warm sunlight shines on the orange walls, bathing the entire square in a golden glow. The horseshoe-shaped colonnade, with the interplay of light and shadow, looks like a time tunnel, making you feel as if you can travel back to the past and converse with history. 🏵️ Plaza de España in Seville is not just a building; it is a symbol of Spanish culture and history, a place that captivates visitors, immersing them in its beauty and charm.

Philadelphia is the cradle of American history and a very walkable city. This guide condenses the highlights for you, whether for a day trip or a longer stay. 🏛️ Must-see core area (historic district) · Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: they are next to each other and are American national treasures. Be sure to reserve Independence Hall tickets on the official website in advance. Tickets are free but often sell out in peak season. · National Constitution Center: interactive exhibits vividly tell the story of the U.S. Constitution. It's next to Independence Hall and worth visiting together. 🖼️ Art and culture (two highlights) · Philadelphia Museum of Art: a world-class museum. Don't miss Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. The Rocky steps in front of the museum are a must for film fans. · Barnes Foundation: one of the world's finest collections of Impressionist art, with many works by Renoir and Cezanne. Tickets are strongly recommended in advance, and daily visitor limits apply. 🥩 Signature eats (Philadelphia specialties) · Philly cheesesteak (beef and cheese sandwich): a must-eat. Two rival longtime shops face each other across the street: Pat's and Geno's, both open 24 hours. Try a Whiz wit (with cheese sauce and onions). · Reading Terminal Market: a century-old indoor food hall. Try DiNic's roast pork sandwich (rated one of the best in the U.S.), and the Dutch-style fresh-made donuts. 📸 Off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots · Magic Garden: a whimsical courtyard of mosaic tile collages that's very photogenic. Tickets required. · Eastern State Penitentiary: once held 'Scarface' Al Capone, this Gothic prison ruin hosts special Halloween events and is impressive even for a regular visit. 🚇 Practical tips · Getting around: take the SEPTA regional rail from the airport (about $10) directly to downtown. Old City attractions are concentrated, so walking is best. · Shopping: sales tax is lower than in New York, and King of Prussia Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S., reachable by bus or taxi from the city. · Weather: hot and humid in summer, snowy in winter, and best in spring and fall. 🗺️ Ideal day-trip itinerary Morning Independence Hall → Liberty Bell → lunch at Reading Terminal Market → afternoon at the Barnes Foundation or Philadelphia Museum of Art → evening on South Street for a cheesesteak. If you have extra time, I highly recommend spending half a day visiting the University of Pennsylvania; its architecture and museums are also well worth a visit.

Las Vegas can feel surprisingly varied when a day includes wellness, dining, hotel design, and a recognizable outdoor landmark. Begin with the bubbling pool at Lapis Spa, then look inside the spacious bathroom of a Vdara studio. Mama Put adds a colorful meal with Chief, while the High Roller framed above The LINQ creates an easy evening landmark. Beauty & Essex finishes the route with a moody dining room that feels completely different from the bright spa and outdoor views. This itinerary works best with time between stops, since resort entrances and internal walkways can add more distance than expected. Save the outdoor portion for cooler weather or later in the day, and use the indoor stops as comfortable breaks. #lasvegas #thingstodo #localfood #wellness #travel2026#thingstodo#myitinerary#localfood

📍 Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Fontainebleau is one of the Strip’s newest mega-resorts—a 67-story, 3,600-plus room tower that feels more like a glossy fashion set than a casino lobby. Think marble rings of floor around giant rose sculptures, champagne-gold chandeliers, and long blue hallways that look designed for slow-motion entrance videos. It’s all very “Miami meets north Strip,” with the bow-tie logo repeating in the ceilings, carpets, and even the driveway lights. Beyond the looks, this place is built to be a full-service base: a 170,000-square-foot casino, dozens of restaurants and bars (many first-to-market concepts), and rooms that lean soft blue and grey with big windows facing either the Strip or the mountains. If you’re here for conventions, it’s right by the Las Vegas Convention Center; if you’re here for nightlife, the BleauLive Theater and on-site clubs keep the energy inside the building so you don’t have to chase Ubers up and down the Strip. #lasvegas #fontainebleau #travel #lasvegasstriphotels

#mytripvlog Historic Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in the living room of the founder of the City of Covina, J.S. Phillips, on Trinity Sunday in 1887. It turned 135 years old this year, designed by artchtector Fr. Alfred Fletcher. Steeped in liturgical traditions, it also embraces progressive values. The blue and red cart in the front of the church is a full-size replica of the one that hauled big stones from the riverbed to build the church in 1910. Address: 100 N 3rd Ave, Covina, CA 91723

Autumn in the Northwest offers only a brief 20-day window for the desert poplars. As the Gobi turns to gold and sand dunes meet lakes, this 7-day, 6-night loop—featuring desert poplars, deserts, Danxia landforms, and grasslands—unlocks the diverse landscapes of the Northwest and fulfills your dream of desert photography. The trip begins in Lanzhou, with an upgraded one-night stay at a 4-diamond hotel to help you recover from your journey. We then head to Badan Lake in the Badain Jaran Desert to witness the unique spectacle of sand dunes and lakes coexisting. With golden dunes reflected in the crystal-clear water, you can enjoy sandboarding and stroll through the sand sea, experiencing the vastness and romance unique to the desert. Heading west, discover the diverse charms of the four major desert poplar forests. At Ruoshui Jinshawan, golden poplars stand along the clear waters of the Ruoshui River, creating dreamlike reflections. Step into the ancient city of Heishui to touch the imprints of history left by the Silk Road. At dusk, witness the stunning sunset at the "Strange Tree Forest," where the gnarled, withered poplars create desolate silhouettes against the evening glow, revealing the resilient spirit of these trees that are said to "live for a thousand years." In the early morning, head to Juyan Lake to watch the sunrise as the sun rises over the water, gilding the reeds and watching water birds skim across the sparkling surface—every moment is picture-perfect. Spend a full day exploring the Ejina Poplar Forest, visiting the Erdaoqiao Reflection Forest and Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, where the movie "Hero" was filmed. We also include admission tickets to the Desert Poplar Forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in the golden sea of trees. We have also reserved ample time to explore the Jinta Poplar Forest, where the water perfectly mirrors the golden canopy, making it an ideal spot for photography. After bidding farewell to the poplar forests, head to the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon, where the crisscrossing reddish-brown gullies offer a geological spectacle comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Finally, visit the Binggou River Scenic Area, where snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands unfold like an autumn oil painting. Experience the gentle poetry of the Northwest beneath the Qilian Mountains before returning to Lanzhou, where the tour concludes. September–October is the peak season for the desert poplars. Don't miss this limited golden window—pack your camera and embark on this autumn rendezvous with the thousand-year-old trees!

A 3.5-hour drive from Nanjing, you enter the autumn secret realm of Southern Anhui—featuring the crystal-clear waters of the "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden waves of rice fields, and the original Huizhou-style charm of ancient towns. This "beautiful scenery with fewer people" treasure route is a must-get❗️ 🌿 The itinerary can be three days and two nights or two days and one night Day 1: Nanjing → Kushan Village, Shitai → Baishiling (first encounter with rice fields and ancient village) Day 2: Baishiling → Guniujiang ("Little Jiuzhaigou" of Southern Anhui, a mountain and water healing spot) Day 3 (optional): Guniujiang → Lixi, Qimen → Return (slow time in Huizhou-style ancient town) 📍 Practical tips to copy directly · Transportation: Best to self-drive the whole way. Nanjing → Shitai 3.5h, Shitai → Guniujiang 1h, Guniujiang → Lixi 1.5h. The mountain roads are smooth; slow down in rainy weather. · Tickets: Guniujiang 108 RMB/person (includes shuttle bus, half price for students); Kushan, Baishiling, and Lixi are all free. · Accommodation: Many homestays available, not too tight, so I won’t specifically recommend any~ This Southern Anhui self-drive trip avoids crowded popular spots but lets you gather the clear waters of "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden rice fields, and the tranquility of ancient towns all in one go. Take advantage of the tail end of autumn for a wonderful and peaceful journey~ creator academy

Destination Introduction Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area, located in Bloomfield, San Juan County, New Mexico, USA, is a hidden desert treasure in North America. Featuring stunning alien-like colorful Danxia landforms, ancient dinosaur fossils, and a starry sky free from light pollution, it is also a filming location for the TV series "The Mandalorian." Known as the real-life lunar wilderness and a natural set for Western sci-fi blockbusters. 📍Basic Information Full Address: Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness Study Area, Bloomfield, NM 87413 Admission: Free, no reservation required Facilities: No shops, restrooms, or supply stations throughout; no cell phone signal; must download offline maps and carry satellite GPS in advance 🚗 Transportation Guide 1. Departure City: About 3.5 hours drive from Albuquerque 2. Road Conditions: The last 10 miles are gravel and dirt roads, bumpy and full of potholes; a four-wheel drive or high-clearance off-road vehicle is required; regular cars are very likely to scrape the bottom 3. Travel Tips: Gas stations are scarce along the way; fill up the tank before departure; no public transportation available, self-driving only 4. Best Photography Times: 2 hours after sunrise and 1.5 hours before sunset for the most saturated rock colors; at night, you can shoot the desert Milky Way starry sky 🗺️ Three Core Routes 1. Badlands Overlook | 360° Danxia Panorama The highest point in the area, surrounded by colorful rock pillars in a ring. In the early morning, mist covers the iconic mushroom rocks, creating a full atmospheric vibe. Photography Tips: Use a wide-angle lens for panoramic canyon shots and a telephoto lens to compress rock layers; wear bright red, orange, or yellow clothing to contrast with the earth-yellow and orange-red rock walls for striking photos. 2. Fossil Valley Trail | Jurassic Archaeological Site The trail surface is scattered with numerous dinosaur bone fossils visible up close, but strict rules apply: · Maintain a 1.5-meter safe distance from fossils; no stepping on or climbing the rock layers · You may bring a small brush to clean off loose dirt for a simple archaeological experience; it is illegal to remove any fossils · The ground clay is soft; stay on existing trails and avoid stepping on soil slopes 3. Alien Canyon | Sci-Fi Filming Location The most famous spot in the entire park, with fluorescent orange, mint green, and creamy white multi-layered rocks interwoven, creating a surreal color clash like an alien surface. ⚠️ Safety Reminder: The rock walls are loose and prone to collapse; strictly follow marked routes and do not venture deep into the canyon. 🌌 Night Tour Exclusive: Desert Milky Way Starry Night Far from city light pollution, the entire wilderness reveals the full Milky Way to the naked eye at night. The rock pillars framed against the starry sky create a powerful visual impact. Photography Gear: Tripod, large aperture camera, headlamp; use long exposure of 10–15 seconds, ISO 1600–3200 to easily capture stunning star trails. Tips: The desert has extreme temperature differences between day and night; bring a windproof thick jacket for nighttime. 🎒 Essential Packing List · Clothing: High-top anti-slip hiking boots, windproof face mask, wide-brim sun hat · Water: Large capacity water bags with at least 3 liters per person; the desert has no shade and intense sun exposure, with a high risk of dehydration · Equipment: Satellite GPS/offline maps, camera + tripod, sunscreen with SPF 50+ · Others: Basic first aid kit, some dry snacks, trash bags (all trash must be carried out) ⚠️ Strict Safety Rules & Pitfall Warnings 1. Avoid during rainy season: Heavy rains frequently occur from July to September, causing flash floods in desert canyons; visiting during this period is not recommended 2. Drone Restrictions: Drones are prohibited throughout the protected area; violations will be penalized 3. Wildlife Encounters: If you encounter rattlesnakes or venomous lizards, stay still and slowly back away without disturbing them 4. Geomorphology Protection: Do not climb fragile rock pillars, carve graffiti, or move rocks; these billion-year weathered landforms are easily damaged 5. Camping Tips: Only primitive camping is allowed; check forest fire bans in advance; open flames are strictly prohibited Simple Itinerary Reference (One-Day Deep Exploration) 09:00 Arrive at the park, visit Badlands Overlook to photograph the morning Danxia 11:00 Hike Fossil Valley to observe ancient fossils up close 14:00 Rest and hydrate, then head to Alien Canyon to check out the sci-fi rock walls 18:00 Wait for the golden hour sunset to capture stunning rock layer sunset shots 21:00 Stay on site until dark to photograph the desert Milky Way star trails

Captured some of the best photos of my life in the Kulun Desert✨ Endless seas of sand, silhouettes under the sunset glow, wild off-road motorcycles… Every spot holds the secret to great shots. This personally tested guide with 5 key photo locations + detailed tips will help you easily unlock the desert’s romance and wildness. Even beginners can shoot stunning photos without any pitfalls! 📸 Key Photo Spots (Beginner-friendly tutorial with details) 【Sand Ridge Line・Ultimate Atmosphere】 Spot details: The top sand ridge line of any tall dune is the soul of desert photography! ✅ Shooting tips: Wide shot: Have the photographer shoot upward from the dune base, with the person standing in the middle of the ridge line, arms spread or naturally down, background is the endless sand sea, instantly highlighting the vastness and smallness; Close-up: Sit on the ridge, legs naturally extended to one side (crossed or straight), showing off long legs! Photographer shoots from a 45° side angle, using light and shadow to outline body lines, shoot one hour before sunset for warm, atmospheric light; Dynamic: Walk slowly along the ridge line, capturing moments of skirt or clothing fluttering, wild and free. Practical tips: Wear light or contrasting colors (white, red, ginger yellow) to strongly contrast with the yellow sand; avoid harsh midday light, best to shoot before 9 AM or at dusk. 【Desert Off-road Vehicle・Must-have for Trendy Girls】 Spot details: The orange off-road vehicles in the park come with a built-in trendy filter, 100% photo success rate! ✅ Shooting tips: Cool getting off: One foot on the pedal, body slightly turned, hand on the door, wearing sunglasses looking into the distance, instantly full of trendy girl vibes; Leaning on the hood: Sit on the hood, legs bent, hands supporting behind, head tilted back looking at the sky, casual yet cool; Inside view: Sit in the driver’s seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other playing with hair, shoot a half-body shot from outside the window, full of story. Practical tips: Off-road vehicles can be rented (about 200-300 RMB/hour, subject to on-site pricing), communicate with the owner before shooting; some owners allow free exterior shots; watch your feet to avoid scratching the vehicle. 【Desert Camels・Silk Road Vibes】 Spot details: The park offers camel rides; using camels as props instantly boosts atmosphere! ✅ Shooting tips: Side shot: Ride the camel, hold the reins firmly, body slightly turned, looking into the distance, photographer shoots full body from the side, creating a vintage “Silk Road” feel; Long-distance telephoto: Have a friend shoot from afar with a telephoto lens, person riding camel walking in the sand sea, small figure contrasting with vast desert, stunning mood; Static interaction: Stand beside the camel, gently stroke its neck (stay safe and follow the handler’s instructions), shoot a half-body shot, gentle and full of story. Practical tips: Camel rides cost about 100 RMB per round (subject to on-site pricing); don’t scare the camels when shooting; wearing long skirts or ethnic-style clothing fits the Silk Road theme better. 【ATV Off-road Motorcycle・Wild Style】 Spot details: ATV is the most stress-relieving desert activity and a photo magic tool! ✅ Shooting tips: Standing pose: Stand next to the ATV, one hand on the handlebar, the other on the waist or raised, chest out and head up, exuding cool and wild vibes; Riding action shot: Start the ATV and ride slowly, photographer captures from the side-rear, flying sand and motion blur add impact; Close-up: Shoot close-ups of hands gripping the handlebar and feet on pedals, with desert background, full of detail. Practical tips: ATV rental costs about 150-200 RMB/hour (subject to on-site pricing), helmets are required (provided free by the park), beginners should ride slowly, safety first; wear cargo pants or jeans for ease of movement. 【Desert Tribe・Photo Spot Cluster】 Spot details: The Desert Tribe area has various trendy photo installations (swings, signposts, colorful tents, etc.), any shot here looks great! ✅ Shooting tips: Desert swing: Sit on the swing, swing slowly, photographer captures the moment in mid-air, skirt fluttering, romantic and healing; Trendy signpost: Stand next to the signpost, point into the distance, or lean on it for a half-body shot, very artistic; Colorful tents: Use the tents as background, sit on the sand, hug knees, look up and smile, fresh and natural. Practical tips: Desert Tribe is free to enter, weekends are busier, recommend arriving early to secure spots; some installations require queuing, shoot orderly and don’t take too long. ✨ Practical Guide (Transport + Costs + Pitfalls, all essentials) Transport guide: Self-driving (recommended): From Shenyang, take the Changshen Expressway, about 3.5 hours, toll about 150 RMB; parking available in the park, about 10 RMB/day (subject to on-site fees); Public transport: Take high-speed train from Shenyang Station/Shenyang North Station to Tongliao Station, then transfer to a bus to Kulun Banner, finally taxi to the park (about 5 hours total, less convenient than driving). Cost details (per person reference): Tickets: Kulun Silver Sand Bay Scenic Area ticket about 30 RMB (subject to official latest pricing); Rental: Off-road vehicle 200-300 RMB/hour, ATV 150-200 RMB/hour, camel ride 100 RMB/round; Food: Small snack stalls in the park (barbecue skewers, instant noodles, bottled water, etc.), about 50 RMB/day per person; recommend bringing enough drinking water and snacks. Pitfall tips: Sun protection! Sun protection! Sun protection!

New York is great, but I won’t go a second time 💔|A regular traveler’s honest guide to what to avoid I have to admit, New York’s vibe is truly unique. The Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty at dusk, Central Park’s autumn sunsets, the timeless masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, street art, Broadway lights—seeing the hustle and romance of this world-class city in person is truly breathtaking. But after experiencing a solo trip firsthand, the exhaustion, hidden costs, and safety concerns add up. No matter how stunning the sights, it’s hard to want to go back. Keep this honest guide to what to avoid handy! ✨ —— 📢 Honest advice to reconsider, set your expectations early 1. Prices are generally high, and tipping is everywhere Restaurants expect 15%–20% tips by default. You also need to tip for coffee, takeout, and hotel housekeeping. Simple meals on the street start at 120 yuan per person, and full meals are over 300 yuan per person. Accommodation is expensive—basic hotels in Manhattan start at 1,000 yuan per night with small rooms. 2. The city is crowded and chaotic, which is physically draining Manhattan is extremely dense and crowded. Most attractions require walking and subway transfers, often walking tens of thousands of steps daily. Trash and homeless people are common on the streets, very different from the polished scenes in movies and TV shows. 3. The subway is old and unsafe The century-old subway system is outdated, with no air conditioning and strong odors. Late-night cars have a mixed crowd, so keep valuables close. Avoid traveling alone during early morning hours. 4. Many hidden fees and traps Observation decks, boat tours, and museums charge separately. Popular combo tickets are expensive. Street performers charge for photos, public restrooms and luggage storage usually require payment. 5. Huge differences between neighborhoods Uptown Manhattan is prosperous and clean. Brooklyn and some remote areas are chaotic. Avoid walking alone late at night. · — 📝 Essential travel info ✅ Visa: US B1/B2 tourist visa, apply in advance. Have round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready for inspection ✅ Currency: US dollars. Most malls and restaurants accept credit cards. Carry some cash for emergencies ✅ Best travel time: April–June, September–November for comfortable temperatures. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are very cold ✅ Must-haves: portable anti-theft bag, comfortable walking shoes, power adapter, mask (subway ventilation is poor) · — 🗓 Classic 5-day relaxed itinerary (no boot camp) Day 1 Downtown Manhattan landmarks Statue of Liberty boat tour (buy tickets online in advance) → Wall Street bull → Walk Brooklyn Bridge, capture Manhattan skyline sunset in the evening Day 2 Midtown core shopping district Choose either Empire State Building or Top of the Rock observation deck → Times Square → Broadway show (buy tickets online in advance for better prices) Day 3 Artsy slow day Spend the day wandering Central Park → Metropolitan Museum of Art, allow half a day or more to explore slowly, watch the park sunset in the evening Day 4 Off-the-beaten-path route High Line Park → Chelsea art district → Flatiron Building, experience the city’s popular elevated walkway Day 5 Shopping and rest Shop along Fifth Avenue or visit a lesser-known Jersey City viewpoint to avoid city crowds, then rest before heading home · — 🍽 Food guide, save money and avoid pitfalls 🔶 Affordable must-tries: Shake Shack burgers, New York pizza, bagel breakfast. Local chains offer the best value 🔶 Special experiences: Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants and trendy steakhouses are overpriced. Regular tourists don’t need to rush to these 💡 Money-saving tips 1. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets; convenience stores near attractions charge double 2. Choose pickup when ordering food to avoid delivery tips 3. Chinatown offers great value Chinese food with flavors familiar to Chinese travelers, much cheaper than Western food ⚠️ Important pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) 1️⃣ Safety first: carry your backpack in front, watch your phone and wallet in the subway and crowded areas. Don’t engage with overly friendly strangers on the street or accept gifts—they will demand tips later. 2️⃣ Buy tickets online in advance: lines are long and prices are higher on site. Book Statue of Liberty tours, observation decks, and museums on official websites ahead of time. 3️⃣ Remember tipping rules: restaurant bills don’t include tips; you need to add them separately. Leave $1–2 per day for hotel housekeeping. 4️⃣ Transportation: use the subway for short trips. For longer distances, use ride-hailing apps—they cost half as much as hailing taxis on the street. Avoid driving if unfamiliar with the area; parking is very expensive. 5️⃣ Accommodation tips: if on a budget, stay in New Jersey or Long Island suburbs with subway access to Manhattan. You can save half on housing costs but expect longer commutes. Avoid remote neighborhoods. 💰 5-day per person budget reference (excluding international flights) · Comfortable trip: 6,500–10,000 yuan (city hotels + classic attractions + several full meals) · Budget trip: 4,000–5,500 yuan (suburban lodging, public transport, affordable meals) ✨ Final honest words New York is a city of extremes, where top-tier luxury and gritty street life coexist. It’s worth visiting once to see a world-class city firsthand. But if you prefer clean, tidy, stress-free vacations and dislike high tipping and crowded environments, New York probably won’t match your travel style. Adjust your expectations before you go.

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#bucketlistdestinations Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills State Park is Ohio’s most famous hike— a 1-mile loop through a mossy gorge with waterfalls, caves, and sandstone cliffs. Entrance is free (no day-use fee), and the trailhead has a large parking lot (free, but fills by 8 am on weekends). The trail is rocky, with some steep sections and a few stairs—I wore hiking boots and watched my step on the mossy rocks. I carried 1 liter of water; there’s a water fountain at the visitor center, but not on the trail. A park ranger told me the cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s—“the moss was his carpet.” Kindness beat: a park volunteer gave me a free “Hocking Hills Explorer” booklet and told me to visit the “Devil’s Bathtub” (a nearby natural pool) early in the morning—“the moss is magical when the sun hits it.” My take: Old Man’s Cave is a reminder that “magic” can be found in your own backyard. The moss on the rocks is a sign that the forest is alive, even in a state park with millions of visitors. Should we prioritize “accessibility” in state parks, or keep some trails rugged and undeveloped?

The blend of rain and fall colors at Multnomah Falls creates a surreal, almost dreamlike feeling. #waterfalls #pacificnorthwest #pnw #beautifuldestinations #waterfalllovers #nature #pnwphotography #pnwexplored

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

#mytripvlog Beautiful Dillon Lake, known as Dillion Reserve Recreation Area in Dillon, is one of the giant freshwater lakes in Colorado where you can hike and fish.

In the United States, there are many national parks, and Denali National Park in Alaska is one of them. We were fortunate to have been able to see grizzly bears and a moose pretty close by. Together with the majestic mountains and golden yellow trees, they make for a great real life documentary! #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers

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 🫪.

#epictravelmoments The sheer, ancient majesty of the Grand Canyon hits you before you even hit the first wave, but nothing compares to the raw adrenaline when your raft drops into a roaring stretch of Class IV whitewater. As I gripped the safety ropes and felt the freezing, silty water crash over the bow, the towering red sandstone cliffs above seemed to close in, framing a narrow ribbon of sky that felt worlds away from modern life. Every plunge through the rapids was a dance between chaos and control, followed immediately by moments of unbelievable calm where the river slicked out like glass. Floating past rock layers carved over millions of years, I found myself completely captivated by the rhythm of the water, the echo of the canyon walls, and the unspoken camaraderie that forms when a group of strangers pitches in to row, rig, and navigate through one of nature's greatest masterpieces. When the sun began to dip, painting the sheer rock faces in shades of burnt orange and deep magenta, we pulled our rafts onto a isolated sandbar to set up camp under a sky bursting with stars. Gathering around a backcountry meal cooked over a camp stove, the silence of the canyon settled in, broken only by the steady murmur of the river drifting past. That night, sleeping on the warm sand with the fresh night air brushing against my face, I realized that rafting the Colorado River is far more than a thrilling sports adventure. It is a profound, grounding reset, a rare chance to unplug entirely and feel genuinely tiny in the presence of timeless geology and boundless open space. For anyone looking to experience this bucket-list expedition, proper planning is essential to pull off a seamless journey into the wilderness. Costs vary depending on the style of your trip, with short one-day or half-day runs starting around $150 to $400, while full multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 18 days typically cost anywhere between $1,500 and $6,000+ per person, which covers gear, professional guides, meals, and permits. Getting there usually starts by flying into Phoenix or Las Vegas, followed by a drive to Flagstaff or Page, Arizona, where most outfitters meet before shuttling you directly to the primary launch point at Lees Ferry. This was such an epic travel moment for me that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

When you step into Plaza de España in Seville, it feels like walking into a vibrant historical painting. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this square is the soul of Seville. Its huge semicircular layout resembles a crescent moon embedded on the east side of María Luisa Park. The architectural complex designed by Aníbal González blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and other styles, with every detail exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. 🔆 The fountain in the center of the square splashes water that sparkles under the sunlight, like a dancer of time, endlessly performing the melody of the years. The surrounding colonnade is the most stunning part. Fifty-eight mosaic tile murals depict historical scenes and landscapes from various provinces of Spain, like an open history book telling the country's glory and vicissitudes. Sitting on a bench, looking at these exquisite tile paintings, you can almost feel the life of people from different regions and hear the rolling wheels of history passing by. 💃 When flamenco music plays in the square, passionate dancers express the passion and vitality of life through their body language. You will be infected by the enthusiasm of this square and involuntarily blend into the joyful atmosphere. At sunset, it is the most beautiful moment of the square. Warm sunlight shines on the orange walls, bathing the entire square in a golden glow. The horseshoe-shaped colonnade, with the interplay of light and shadow, looks like a time tunnel, making you feel as if you can travel back to the past and converse with history. 🏵️ Plaza de España in Seville is not just a building; it is a symbol of Spanish culture and history, a place that captivates visitors, immersing them in its beauty and charm.

Philadelphia is the cradle of American history and a very walkable city. This guide condenses the highlights for you, whether for a day trip or a longer stay. 🏛️ Must-see core area (historic district) · Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: they are next to each other and are American national treasures. Be sure to reserve Independence Hall tickets on the official website in advance. Tickets are free but often sell out in peak season. · National Constitution Center: interactive exhibits vividly tell the story of the U.S. Constitution. It's next to Independence Hall and worth visiting together. 🖼️ Art and culture (two highlights) · Philadelphia Museum of Art: a world-class museum. Don't miss Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. The Rocky steps in front of the museum are a must for film fans. · Barnes Foundation: one of the world's finest collections of Impressionist art, with many works by Renoir and Cezanne. Tickets are strongly recommended in advance, and daily visitor limits apply. 🥩 Signature eats (Philadelphia specialties) · Philly cheesesteak (beef and cheese sandwich): a must-eat. Two rival longtime shops face each other across the street: Pat's and Geno's, both open 24 hours. Try a Whiz wit (with cheese sauce and onions). · Reading Terminal Market: a century-old indoor food hall. Try DiNic's roast pork sandwich (rated one of the best in the U.S.), and the Dutch-style fresh-made donuts. 📸 Off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots · Magic Garden: a whimsical courtyard of mosaic tile collages that's very photogenic. Tickets required. · Eastern State Penitentiary: once held 'Scarface' Al Capone, this Gothic prison ruin hosts special Halloween events and is impressive even for a regular visit. 🚇 Practical tips · Getting around: take the SEPTA regional rail from the airport (about $10) directly to downtown. Old City attractions are concentrated, so walking is best. · Shopping: sales tax is lower than in New York, and King of Prussia Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S., reachable by bus or taxi from the city. · Weather: hot and humid in summer, snowy in winter, and best in spring and fall. 🗺️ Ideal day-trip itinerary Morning Independence Hall → Liberty Bell → lunch at Reading Terminal Market → afternoon at the Barnes Foundation or Philadelphia Museum of Art → evening on South Street for a cheesesteak. If you have extra time, I highly recommend spending half a day visiting the University of Pennsylvania; its architecture and museums are also well worth a visit.

Las Vegas can feel surprisingly varied when a day includes wellness, dining, hotel design, and a recognizable outdoor landmark. Begin with the bubbling pool at Lapis Spa, then look inside the spacious bathroom of a Vdara studio. Mama Put adds a colorful meal with Chief, while the High Roller framed above The LINQ creates an easy evening landmark. Beauty & Essex finishes the route with a moody dining room that feels completely different from the bright spa and outdoor views. This itinerary works best with time between stops, since resort entrances and internal walkways can add more distance than expected. Save the outdoor portion for cooler weather or later in the day, and use the indoor stops as comfortable breaks. #lasvegas #thingstodo #localfood #wellness #travel2026#thingstodo#myitinerary#localfood

📍 Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Fontainebleau is one of the Strip’s newest mega-resorts—a 67-story, 3,600-plus room tower that feels more like a glossy fashion set than a casino lobby. Think marble rings of floor around giant rose sculptures, champagne-gold chandeliers, and long blue hallways that look designed for slow-motion entrance videos. It’s all very “Miami meets north Strip,” with the bow-tie logo repeating in the ceilings, carpets, and even the driveway lights. Beyond the looks, this place is built to be a full-service base: a 170,000-square-foot casino, dozens of restaurants and bars (many first-to-market concepts), and rooms that lean soft blue and grey with big windows facing either the Strip or the mountains. If you’re here for conventions, it’s right by the Las Vegas Convention Center; if you’re here for nightlife, the BleauLive Theater and on-site clubs keep the energy inside the building so you don’t have to chase Ubers up and down the Strip. #lasvegas #fontainebleau #travel #lasvegasstriphotels

#mytripvlog Historic Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in the living room of the founder of the City of Covina, J.S. Phillips, on Trinity Sunday in 1887. It turned 135 years old this year, designed by artchtector Fr. Alfred Fletcher. Steeped in liturgical traditions, it also embraces progressive values. The blue and red cart in the front of the church is a full-size replica of the one that hauled big stones from the riverbed to build the church in 1910. Address: 100 N 3rd Ave, Covina, CA 91723

Autumn in the Northwest offers only a brief 20-day window for the desert poplars. As the Gobi turns to gold and sand dunes meet lakes, this 7-day, 6-night loop—featuring desert poplars, deserts, Danxia landforms, and grasslands—unlocks the diverse landscapes of the Northwest and fulfills your dream of desert photography. The trip begins in Lanzhou, with an upgraded one-night stay at a 4-diamond hotel to help you recover from your journey. We then head to Badan Lake in the Badain Jaran Desert to witness the unique spectacle of sand dunes and lakes coexisting. With golden dunes reflected in the crystal-clear water, you can enjoy sandboarding and stroll through the sand sea, experiencing the vastness and romance unique to the desert. Heading west, discover the diverse charms of the four major desert poplar forests. At Ruoshui Jinshawan, golden poplars stand along the clear waters of the Ruoshui River, creating dreamlike reflections. Step into the ancient city of Heishui to touch the imprints of history left by the Silk Road. At dusk, witness the stunning sunset at the "Strange Tree Forest," where the gnarled, withered poplars create desolate silhouettes against the evening glow, revealing the resilient spirit of these trees that are said to "live for a thousand years." In the early morning, head to Juyan Lake to watch the sunrise as the sun rises over the water, gilding the reeds and watching water birds skim across the sparkling surface—every moment is picture-perfect. Spend a full day exploring the Ejina Poplar Forest, visiting the Erdaoqiao Reflection Forest and Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, where the movie "Hero" was filmed. We also include admission tickets to the Desert Poplar Forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in the golden sea of trees. We have also reserved ample time to explore the Jinta Poplar Forest, where the water perfectly mirrors the golden canopy, making it an ideal spot for photography. After bidding farewell to the poplar forests, head to the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon, where the crisscrossing reddish-brown gullies offer a geological spectacle comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Finally, visit the Binggou River Scenic Area, where snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands unfold like an autumn oil painting. Experience the gentle poetry of the Northwest beneath the Qilian Mountains before returning to Lanzhou, where the tour concludes. September–October is the peak season for the desert poplars. Don't miss this limited golden window—pack your camera and embark on this autumn rendezvous with the thousand-year-old trees!

A 3.5-hour drive from Nanjing, you enter the autumn secret realm of Southern Anhui—featuring the crystal-clear waters of the "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden waves of rice fields, and the original Huizhou-style charm of ancient towns. This "beautiful scenery with fewer people" treasure route is a must-get❗️ 🌿 The itinerary can be three days and two nights or two days and one night Day 1: Nanjing → Kushan Village, Shitai → Baishiling (first encounter with rice fields and ancient village) Day 2: Baishiling → Guniujiang ("Little Jiuzhaigou" of Southern Anhui, a mountain and water healing spot) Day 3 (optional): Guniujiang → Lixi, Qimen → Return (slow time in Huizhou-style ancient town) 📍 Practical tips to copy directly · Transportation: Best to self-drive the whole way. Nanjing → Shitai 3.5h, Shitai → Guniujiang 1h, Guniujiang → Lixi 1.5h. The mountain roads are smooth; slow down in rainy weather. · Tickets: Guniujiang 108 RMB/person (includes shuttle bus, half price for students); Kushan, Baishiling, and Lixi are all free. · Accommodation: Many homestays available, not too tight, so I won’t specifically recommend any~ This Southern Anhui self-drive trip avoids crowded popular spots but lets you gather the clear waters of "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden rice fields, and the tranquility of ancient towns all in one go. Take advantage of the tail end of autumn for a wonderful and peaceful journey~ creator academy

Captured some of the best photos of my life in the Kulun Desert✨ Endless seas of sand, silhouettes under the sunset glow, wild off-road motorcycles… Every spot holds the secret to great shots.

Even beginners can shoot stunning photos without any pitfalls! 📸 Key Photo Spots (Beginner-friendly tutorial with details) 【Sand Ridge Line・Ultimate Atmosphere】 Spot details: The top sand ridge line of any tall dune is the soul of desert photography! ✅ Shooting tips: Wide shot: Have the photographer shoot upward from the dune base, with the person standing in the middle of the ridge line, arms spread or naturally down, background is the endless sand sea, instantly highlighting the vastness and smallness; Close-up: Sit on the ridge, legs naturally extended to one side (crossed or straight), showing off long legs!

New York is great, but I won’t go a second time 💔|A regular traveler’s honest guide to what to avoid I have to admit, New York’s vibe is truly unique. The Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty at dusk, Central Park’s autumn sunsets, the timeless masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, street art, Broadway lights—seeing the hustle and romance of this world-class city in person is truly breathtaking. But after experiencing a solo trip firsthand, the exhaustion, hidden costs, and safety concerns add up. No matter how stunning the sights, it’s hard to want to go back. Keep this honest guide to what to avoid handy! ✨ —— 📢 Honest advice to reconsider, set your expectations early 1. Prices are generally high, and tipping is everywhere Restaurants expect 15%–20% tips by default. You also need to tip for coffee, takeout, and hotel housekeeping. Simple meals on the street start at 120 yuan per person, and full meals are over 300 yuan per person. Accommodation is expensive—basic hotels in Manhattan start at 1,000 yuan per night with small rooms. 2. The city is crowded and chaotic, which is physically draining Manhattan is extremely dense and crowded. Most attractions require walking and subway transfers, often walking tens of thousands of steps daily. Trash and homeless people are common on the streets, very different from the polished scenes in movies and TV shows. 3. The subway is old and unsafe The century-old subway system is outdated, with no air conditioning and strong odors. Late-night cars have a mixed crowd, so keep valuables close. Avoid traveling alone during early morning hours. 4. Many hidden fees and traps Observation decks, boat tours, and museums charge separately. Popular combo tickets are expensive. Street performers charge for photos, public restrooms and luggage storage usually require payment. 5. Huge differences between neighborhoods Uptown Manhattan is prosperous and clean. Brooklyn and some remote areas are chaotic. Avoid walking alone late at night. · — 📝 Essential travel info ✅ Visa: US B1/B2 tourist visa, apply in advance. Have round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready for inspection ✅ Currency: US dollars. Most malls and restaurants accept credit cards. Carry some cash for emergencies ✅ Best travel time: April–June, September–November for comfortable temperatures. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are very cold ✅ Must-haves: portable anti-theft bag, comfortable walking shoes, power adapter, mask (subway ventilation is poor) · — 🗓 Classic 5-day relaxed itinerary (no boot camp) Day 1 Downtown Manhattan landmarks Statue of Liberty boat tour (buy tickets online in advance) → Wall Street bull → Walk Brooklyn Bridge, capture Manhattan skyline sunset in the evening Day 2 Midtown core shopping district Choose either Empire State Building or Top of the Rock observation deck → Times Square → Broadway show (buy tickets online in advance for better prices) Day 3 Artsy slow day Spend the day wandering Central Park → Metropolitan Museum of Art, allow half a day or more to explore slowly, watch the park sunset in the evening Day 4 Off-the-beaten-path route High Line Park → Chelsea art district → Flatiron Building, experience the city’s popular elevated walkway Day 5 Shopping and rest Shop along Fifth Avenue or visit a lesser-known Jersey City viewpoint to avoid city crowds, then rest before heading home · — 🍽 Food guide, save money and avoid pitfalls 🔶 Affordable must-tries: Shake Shack burgers, New York pizza, bagel breakfast. Local chains offer the best value 🔶 Special experiences: Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants and trendy steakhouses are overpriced. Regular tourists don’t need to rush to these 💡 Money-saving tips 1. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets; convenience stores near attractions charge double 2. Choose pickup when ordering food to avoid delivery tips 3. Chinatown offers great value Chinese food with flavors familiar to Chinese travelers, much cheaper than Western food ⚠️ Important pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) 1️⃣ Safety first: carry your backpack in front, watch your phone and wallet in the subway and crowded areas. Don’t engage with overly friendly strangers on the street or accept gifts—they will demand tips later. 2️⃣ Buy tickets online in advance: lines are long and prices are higher on site. Book Statue of Liberty tours, observation decks, and museums on official websites ahead of time. 3️⃣ Remember tipping rules: restaurant bills don’t include tips; you need to add them separately. Leave $1–2 per day for hotel housekeeping. 4️⃣ Transportation: use the subway for short trips. For longer distances, use ride-hailing apps—they cost half as much as hailing taxis on the street. Avoid driving if unfamiliar with the area; parking is very expensive. 5️⃣ Accommodation tips: if on a budget, stay in New Jersey or Long Island suburbs with subway access to Manhattan. You can save half on housing costs but expect longer commutes. Avoid remote neighborhoods. 💰 5-day per person budget reference (excluding international flights) · Comfortable trip: 6,500–10,000 yuan (city hotels + classic attractions + several full meals) · Budget trip: 4,000–5,500 yuan (suburban lodging, public transport, affordable meals) ✨ Final honest words New York is a city of extremes, where top-tier luxury and gritty street life coexist. It’s worth visiting once to see a world-class city firsthand. But if you prefer clean, tidy, stress-free vacations and dislike high tipping and crowded environments, New York probably won’t match your travel style. Adjust your expectations before you go.

#bucketlistdestinations Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills State Park is Ohio’s most famous hike— a 1-mile loop through a mossy gorge with waterfalls, caves, and sandstone cliffs. Entrance is free (no day-use fee), and the trailhead has a large parking lot (free, but fills by 8 am on weekends). The trail is rocky, with some steep sections and a few stairs—I wore hiking boots and watched my step on the mossy rocks. I carried 1 liter of water; there’s a water fountain at the visitor center, but not on the trail. A park ranger told me the cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s—“the moss was his carpet.” Kindness beat: a park volunteer gave me a free “Hocking Hills Explorer” booklet and told me to visit the “Devil’s Bathtub” (a nearby natural pool) early in the morning—“the moss is magical when the sun hits it.” My take: Old Man’s Cave is a reminder that “magic” can be found in your own backyard. The moss on the rocks is a sign that the forest is alive, even in a state park with millions of visitors. Should we prioritize “accessibility” in state parks, or keep some trails rugged and undeveloped?

The blend of rain and fall colors at Multnomah Falls creates a surreal, almost dreamlike feeling. #waterfalls #pacificnorthwest #pnw #beautifuldestinations #waterfalllovers #nature #pnwphotography #pnwexplored

⛳️🌍The wildest golf courses in the world, dare to play? Here, golf is not just a sport but a life experience! The 6 wildest golf courses in the world⛳️! It’s practically an animal kingdom! 🦁 ⛳️Leopard Creek Country Club (South Africa) The world’s best "Safari golf"👍 One of the world’s top 100 courses right on the wilderness border🏆 Hippos, crocodiles, elephant herds, giraffes appear anytime Hole 13 faces the Crocodile River 🏆 European Tour event course 🏨 Recommended luxury camps: Lion Sands / Singita, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the wild and river.

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

#mytripvlog Beautiful Dillon Lake, known as Dillion Reserve Recreation Area in Dillon, is one of the giant freshwater lakes in Colorado where you can hike and fish.

In the United States, there are many national parks, and Denali National Park in Alaska is one of them. We were fortunate to have been able to see grizzly bears and a moose pretty close by. Together with the majestic mountains and golden yellow trees, they make for a great real life documentary! #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers

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 🫪.

#epictravelmoments The sheer, ancient majesty of the Grand Canyon hits you before you even hit the first wave, but nothing compares to the raw adrenaline when your raft drops into a roaring stretch of Class IV whitewater. As I gripped the safety ropes and felt the freezing, silty water crash over the bow, the towering red sandstone cliffs above seemed to close in, framing a narrow ribbon of sky that felt worlds away from modern life. Every plunge through the rapids was a dance between chaos and control, followed immediately by moments of unbelievable calm where the river slicked out like glass. Floating past rock layers carved over millions of years, I found myself completely captivated by the rhythm of the water, the echo of the canyon walls, and the unspoken camaraderie that forms when a group of strangers pitches in to row, rig, and navigate through one of nature's greatest masterpieces. When the sun began to dip, painting the sheer rock faces in shades of burnt orange and deep magenta, we pulled our rafts onto a isolated sandbar to set up camp under a sky bursting with stars. Gathering around a backcountry meal cooked over a camp stove, the silence of the canyon settled in, broken only by the steady murmur of the river drifting past. That night, sleeping on the warm sand with the fresh night air brushing against my face, I realized that rafting the Colorado River is far more than a thrilling sports adventure. It is a profound, grounding reset, a rare chance to unplug entirely and feel genuinely tiny in the presence of timeless geology and boundless open space. For anyone looking to experience this bucket-list expedition, proper planning is essential to pull off a seamless journey into the wilderness. Costs vary depending on the style of your trip, with short one-day or half-day runs starting around $150 to $400, while full multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 18 days typically cost anywhere between $1,500 and $6,000+ per person, which covers gear, professional guides, meals, and permits. Getting there usually starts by flying into Phoenix or Las Vegas, followed by a drive to Flagstaff or Page, Arizona, where most outfitters meet before shuttling you directly to the primary launch point at Lees Ferry. This was such an epic travel moment for me that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

#photovsrealitytravel Everyone sees gorgeous pictures of Lake Tahoe, but does reality actually live up to the hype? The short answer is yes.

When you step into Plaza de España in Seville, it feels like walking into a vibrant historical painting. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this square is the soul of Seville. Its huge semicircular layout resembles a crescent moon embedded on the east side of María Luisa Park. The architectural complex designed by Aníbal González blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and other styles, with every detail exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. 🔆 The fountain in the center of the square splashes water that sparkles under the sunlight, like a dancer of time, endlessly performing the melody of the years. The surrounding colonnade is the most stunning part. Fifty-eight mosaic tile murals depict historical scenes and landscapes from various provinces of Spain, like an open history book telling the country's glory and vicissitudes. Sitting on a bench, looking at these exquisite tile paintings, you can almost feel the life of people from different regions and hear the rolling wheels of history passing by. 💃 When flamenco music plays in the square, passionate dancers express the passion and vitality of life through their body language. You will be infected by the enthusiasm of this square and involuntarily blend into the joyful atmosphere. At sunset, it is the most beautiful moment of the square. Warm sunlight shines on the orange walls, bathing the entire square in a golden glow. The horseshoe-shaped colonnade, with the interplay of light and shadow, looks like a time tunnel, making you feel as if you can travel back to the past and converse with history. 🏵️ Plaza de España in Seville is not just a building; it is a symbol of Spanish culture and history, a place that captivates visitors, immersing them in its beauty and charm.

Philadelphia is the cradle of American history and a very walkable city. This guide condenses the highlights for you, whether for a day trip or a longer stay. 🏛️ Must-see core area (historic district) · Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: they are next to each other and are American national treasures. Be sure to reserve Independence Hall tickets on the official website in advance. Tickets are free but often sell out in peak season. · National Constitution Center: interactive exhibits vividly tell the story of the U.S. Constitution. It's next to Independence Hall and worth visiting together. 🖼️ Art and culture (two highlights) · Philadelphia Museum of Art: a world-class museum. Don't miss Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. The Rocky steps in front of the museum are a must for film fans. · Barnes Foundation: one of the world's finest collections of Impressionist art, with many works by Renoir and Cezanne. Tickets are strongly recommended in advance, and daily visitor limits apply. 🥩 Signature eats (Philadelphia specialties) · Philly cheesesteak (beef and cheese sandwich): a must-eat. Two rival longtime shops face each other across the street: Pat's and Geno's, both open 24 hours. Try a Whiz wit (with cheese sauce and onions). · Reading Terminal Market: a century-old indoor food hall. Try DiNic's roast pork sandwich (rated one of the best in the U.S.), and the Dutch-style fresh-made donuts. 📸 Off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots · Magic Garden: a whimsical courtyard of mosaic tile collages that's very photogenic. Tickets required. · Eastern State Penitentiary: once held 'Scarface' Al Capone, this Gothic prison ruin hosts special Halloween events and is impressive even for a regular visit. 🚇 Practical tips · Getting around: take the SEPTA regional rail from the airport (about $10) directly to downtown. Old City attractions are concentrated, so walking is best. · Shopping: sales tax is lower than in New York, and King of Prussia Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S., reachable by bus or taxi from the city. · Weather: hot and humid in summer, snowy in winter, and best in spring and fall. 🗺️ Ideal day-trip itinerary Morning Independence Hall → Liberty Bell → lunch at Reading Terminal Market → afternoon at the Barnes Foundation or Philadelphia Museum of Art → evening on South Street for a cheesesteak. If you have extra time, I highly recommend spending half a day visiting the University of Pennsylvania; its architecture and museums are also well worth a visit.

Las Vegas can feel surprisingly varied when a day includes wellness, dining, hotel design, and a recognizable outdoor landmark. Begin with the bubbling pool at Lapis Spa, then look inside the spacious bathroom of a Vdara studio. Mama Put adds a colorful meal with Chief, while the High Roller framed above The LINQ creates an easy evening landmark. Beauty & Essex finishes the route with a moody dining room that feels completely different from the bright spa and outdoor views. This itinerary works best with time between stops, since resort entrances and internal walkways can add more distance than expected. Save the outdoor portion for cooler weather or later in the day, and use the indoor stops as comfortable breaks. #lasvegas #thingstodo #localfood #wellness #travel2026#thingstodo#myitinerary#localfood

📍 Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Fontainebleau is one of the Strip’s newest mega-resorts—a 67-story, 3,600-plus room tower that feels more like a glossy fashion set than a casino lobby. Think marble rings of floor around giant rose sculptures, champagne-gold chandeliers, and long blue hallways that look designed for slow-motion entrance videos. It’s all very “Miami meets north Strip,” with the bow-tie logo repeating in the ceilings, carpets, and even the driveway lights. Beyond the looks, this place is built to be a full-service base: a 170,000-square-foot casino, dozens of restaurants and bars (many first-to-market concepts), and rooms that lean soft blue and grey with big windows facing either the Strip or the mountains. If you’re here for conventions, it’s right by the Las Vegas Convention Center; if you’re here for nightlife, the BleauLive Theater and on-site clubs keep the energy inside the building so you don’t have to chase Ubers up and down the Strip. #lasvegas #fontainebleau #travel #lasvegasstriphotels

#mytripvlog Historic Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in the living room of the founder of the City of Covina, J.S. Phillips, on Trinity Sunday in 1887. It turned 135 years old this year, designed by artchtector Fr. Alfred Fletcher. Steeped in liturgical traditions, it also embraces progressive values. The blue and red cart in the front of the church is a full-size replica of the one that hauled big stones from the riverbed to build the church in 1910. Address: 100 N 3rd Ave, Covina, CA 91723

Autumn in the Northwest offers only a brief 20-day window for the desert poplars. As the Gobi turns to gold and sand dunes meet lakes, this 7-day, 6-night loop—featuring desert poplars, deserts, Danxia landforms, and grasslands—unlocks the diverse landscapes of the Northwest and fulfills your dream of desert photography. The trip begins in Lanzhou, with an upgraded one-night stay at a 4-diamond hotel to help you recover from your journey. We then head to Badan Lake in the Badain Jaran Desert to witness the unique spectacle of sand dunes and lakes coexisting. With golden dunes reflected in the crystal-clear water, you can enjoy sandboarding and stroll through the sand sea, experiencing the vastness and romance unique to the desert. Heading west, discover the diverse charms of the four major desert poplar forests. At Ruoshui Jinshawan, golden poplars stand along the clear waters of the Ruoshui River, creating dreamlike reflections. Step into the ancient city of Heishui to touch the imprints of history left by the Silk Road. At dusk, witness the stunning sunset at the "Strange Tree Forest," where the gnarled, withered poplars create desolate silhouettes against the evening glow, revealing the resilient spirit of these trees that are said to "live for a thousand years." In the early morning, head to Juyan Lake to watch the sunrise as the sun rises over the water, gilding the reeds and watching water birds skim across the sparkling surface—every moment is picture-perfect. Spend a full day exploring the Ejina Poplar Forest, visiting the Erdaoqiao Reflection Forest and Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, where the movie "Hero" was filmed. We also include admission tickets to the Desert Poplar Forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in the golden sea of trees. We have also reserved ample time to explore the Jinta Poplar Forest, where the water perfectly mirrors the golden canopy, making it an ideal spot for photography. After bidding farewell to the poplar forests, head to the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon, where the crisscrossing reddish-brown gullies offer a geological spectacle comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Finally, visit the Binggou River Scenic Area, where snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands unfold like an autumn oil painting. Experience the gentle poetry of the Northwest beneath the Qilian Mountains before returning to Lanzhou, where the tour concludes. September–October is the peak season for the desert poplars. Don't miss this limited golden window—pack your camera and embark on this autumn rendezvous with the thousand-year-old trees!

A 3.5-hour drive from Nanjing, you enter the autumn secret realm of Southern Anhui—featuring the crystal-clear waters of the "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden waves of rice fields, and the original Huizhou-style charm of ancient towns. This "beautiful scenery with fewer people" treasure route is a must-get❗️ 🌿 The itinerary can be three days and two nights or two days and one night Day 1: Nanjing → Kushan Village, Shitai → Baishiling (first encounter with rice fields and ancient village) Day 2: Baishiling → Guniujiang ("Little Jiuzhaigou" of Southern Anhui, a mountain and water healing spot) Day 3 (optional): Guniujiang → Lixi, Qimen → Return (slow time in Huizhou-style ancient town) 📍 Practical tips to copy directly · Transportation: Best to self-drive the whole way. Nanjing → Shitai 3.5h, Shitai → Guniujiang 1h, Guniujiang → Lixi 1.5h. The mountain roads are smooth; slow down in rainy weather. · Tickets: Guniujiang 108 RMB/person (includes shuttle bus, half price for students); Kushan, Baishiling, and Lixi are all free. · Accommodation: Many homestays available, not too tight, so I won’t specifically recommend any~ This Southern Anhui self-drive trip avoids crowded popular spots but lets you gather the clear waters of "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden rice fields, and the tranquility of ancient towns all in one go. Take advantage of the tail end of autumn for a wonderful and peaceful journey~ creator academy

Departure City: About 3.5 hours drive from Albuquerque 2. Road Conditions: The last 10 miles are gravel and dirt roads, bumpy and full of potholes; a four-wheel drive or high-clearance off-road vehicle is required; regular cars are very likely to scrape the bottom 3. Travel Tips: Gas stations are scarce along the way; fill up the tank before departure; no public transportation available, self-driving only 4. Best Photography Times: 2 hours after sunrise and 1.5 hours before sunset for the most saturated rock colors; at night, you can shoot the desert Milky Way starry sky 🗺️ Three Core Routes 1. Badlands Overlook | 360° Danxia Panorama The highest point in the area, surrounded by colorful rock pillars in a ring. In the early morning, mist covers the iconic mushroom rocks, creating a full atmospheric vibe. Photography Tips: Use a wide-angle lens for panoramic canyon shots and a telephoto lens to compress rock layers; wear bright red, orange, or yellow clothing to contrast with the earth-yellow and orange-red rock walls for striking photos. 2. Fossil Valley Trail | Jurassic Archaeological Site The trail surface is scattered with numerous dinosaur bone fossils visible up close, but strict rules apply: · Maintain a 1.5-meter safe distance from fossils; no stepping on or climbing the rock layers · You may bring a small brush to clean off loose dirt for a simple archaeological experience; it is illegal to remove any fossils · The ground clay is soft; stay on existing trails and avoid stepping on soil slopes 3. Alien Canyon | Sci-Fi Filming Location The most famous spot in the entire park, with fluorescent orange, mint green, and creamy white multi-layered rocks interwoven, creating a surreal color clash like an alien surface. ⚠️ Safety Reminder: The rock walls are loose and prone to collapse; strictly follow marked routes and do not venture deep into the canyon. 🌌 Night Tour Exclusive: Desert Milky Way Starry Night Far from city light pollution, the entire wilderness reveals the full Milky Way to the naked eye at night. The rock pillars framed against the starry sky create a powerful visual impact. Photography Gear: Tripod, large aperture camera, headlamp; use long exposure of 10–15 seconds, ISO 1600–3200 to easily capture stunning star trails. Tips: The desert has extreme temperature differences between day and night; bring a windproof thick jacket for nighttime. 🎒 Essential Packing List · Clothing: High-top anti-slip hiking boots, windproof face mask, wide-brim sun hat · Water: Large capacity water bags with at least 3 liters per person; the desert has no shade and intense sun exposure, with a high risk of dehydration · Equipment: Satellite GPS/offline maps, camera + tripod, sunscreen with SPF 50+ · Others: Basic first aid kit, some dry snacks, trash bags (all trash must be carried out) ⚠️ Strict Safety Rules & Pitfall Warnings 1.

Captured some of the best photos of my life in the Kulun Desert✨ Endless seas of sand, silhouettes under the sunset glow, wild off-road motorcycles… Every spot holds the secret to great shots. This personally tested guide with 5 key photo locations + detailed tips will help you easily unlock the desert’s romance and wildness. Even beginners can shoot stunning photos without any pitfalls! 📸 Key Photo Spots (Beginner-friendly tutorial with details) 【Sand Ridge Line・Ultimate Atmosphere】 Spot details: The top sand ridge line of any tall dune is the soul of desert photography! ✅ Shooting tips: Wide shot: Have the photographer shoot upward from the dune base, with the person standing in the middle of the ridge line, arms spread or naturally down, background is the endless sand sea, instantly highlighting the vastness and smallness; Close-up: Sit on the ridge, legs naturally extended to one side (crossed or straight), showing off long legs! Photographer shoots from a 45° side angle, using light and shadow to outline body lines, shoot one hour before sunset for warm, atmospheric light; Dynamic: Walk slowly along the ridge line, capturing moments of skirt or clothing fluttering, wild and free. Practical tips: Wear light or contrasting colors (white, red, ginger yellow) to strongly contrast with the yellow sand; avoid harsh midday light, best to shoot before 9 AM or at dusk. 【Desert Off-road Vehicle・Must-have for Trendy Girls】 Spot details: The orange off-road vehicles in the park come with a built-in trendy filter, 100% photo success rate! ✅ Shooting tips: Cool getting off: One foot on the pedal, body slightly turned, hand on the door, wearing sunglasses looking into the distance, instantly full of trendy girl vibes; Leaning on the hood: Sit on the hood, legs bent, hands supporting behind, head tilted back looking at the sky, casual yet cool; Inside view: Sit in the driver’s seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other playing with hair, shoot a half-body shot from outside the window, full of story. Practical tips: Off-road vehicles can be rented (about 200-300 RMB/hour, subject to on-site pricing), communicate with the owner before shooting; some owners allow free exterior shots; watch your feet to avoid scratching the vehicle. 【Desert Camels・Silk Road Vibes】 Spot details: The park offers camel rides; using camels as props instantly boosts atmosphere! ✅ Shooting tips: Side shot: Ride the camel, hold the reins firmly, body slightly turned, looking into the distance, photographer shoots full body from the side, creating a vintage “Silk Road” feel; Long-distance telephoto: Have a friend shoot from afar with a telephoto lens, person riding camel walking in the sand sea, small figure contrasting with vast desert, stunning mood; Static interaction: Stand beside the camel, gently stroke its neck (stay safe and follow the handler’s instructions), shoot a half-body shot, gentle and full of story. Practical tips: Camel rides cost about 100 RMB per round (subject to on-site pricing); don’t scare the camels when shooting; wearing long skirts or ethnic-style clothing fits the Silk Road theme better. 【ATV Off-road Motorcycle・Wild Style】 Spot details: ATV is the most stress-relieving desert activity and a photo magic tool! ✅ Shooting tips: Standing pose: Stand next to the ATV, one hand on the handlebar, the other on the waist or raised, chest out and head up, exuding cool and wild vibes; Riding action shot: Start the ATV and ride slowly, photographer captures from the side-rear, flying sand and motion blur add impact; Close-up: Shoot close-ups of hands gripping the handlebar and feet on pedals, with desert background, full of detail. Practical tips: ATV rental costs about 150-200 RMB/hour (subject to on-site pricing), helmets are required (provided free by the park), beginners should ride slowly, safety first; wear cargo pants or jeans for ease of movement. 【Desert Tribe・Photo Spot Cluster】 Spot details: The Desert Tribe area has various trendy photo installations (swings, signposts, colorful tents, etc.), any shot here looks great! ✅ Shooting tips: Desert swing: Sit on the swing, swing slowly, photographer captures the moment in mid-air, skirt fluttering, romantic and healing; Trendy signpost: Stand next to the signpost, point into the distance, or lean on it for a half-body shot, very artistic; Colorful tents: Use the tents as background, sit on the sand, hug knees, look up and smile, fresh and natural.

New York is great, but I won’t go a second time 💔|A regular traveler’s honest guide to what to avoid I have to admit, New York’s vibe is truly unique. The Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty at dusk, Central Park’s autumn sunsets, the timeless masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, street art, Broadway lights—seeing the hustle and romance of this world-class city in person is truly breathtaking. But after experiencing a solo trip firsthand, the exhaustion, hidden costs, and safety concerns add up. No matter how stunning the sights, it’s hard to want to go back. Keep this honest guide to what to avoid handy! ✨ —— 📢 Honest advice to reconsider, set your expectations early 1. Prices are generally high, and tipping is everywhere Restaurants expect 15%–20% tips by default. You also need to tip for coffee, takeout, and hotel housekeeping. Simple meals on the street start at 120 yuan per person, and full meals are over 300 yuan per person. Accommodation is expensive—basic hotels in Manhattan start at 1,000 yuan per night with small rooms. 2. The city is crowded and chaotic, which is physically draining Manhattan is extremely dense and crowded. Most attractions require walking and subway transfers, often walking tens of thousands of steps daily. Trash and homeless people are common on the streets, very different from the polished scenes in movies and TV shows. 3. The subway is old and unsafe The century-old subway system is outdated, with no air conditioning and strong odors. Late-night cars have a mixed crowd, so keep valuables close. Avoid traveling alone during early morning hours. 4. Many hidden fees and traps Observation decks, boat tours, and museums charge separately. Popular combo tickets are expensive. Street performers charge for photos, public restrooms and luggage storage usually require payment. 5. Huge differences between neighborhoods Uptown Manhattan is prosperous and clean. Brooklyn and some remote areas are chaotic. Avoid walking alone late at night. · — 📝 Essential travel info ✅ Visa: US B1/B2 tourist visa, apply in advance. Have round-trip tickets and hotel bookings ready for inspection ✅ Currency: US dollars. Most malls and restaurants accept credit cards. Carry some cash for emergencies ✅ Best travel time: April–June, September–November for comfortable temperatures. Summers are hot and rainy, winters are very cold ✅ Must-haves: portable anti-theft bag, comfortable walking shoes, power adapter, mask (subway ventilation is poor) · — 🗓 Classic 5-day relaxed itinerary (no boot camp) Day 1 Downtown Manhattan landmarks Statue of Liberty boat tour (buy tickets online in advance) → Wall Street bull → Walk Brooklyn Bridge, capture Manhattan skyline sunset in the evening Day 2 Midtown core shopping district Choose either Empire State Building or Top of the Rock observation deck → Times Square → Broadway show (buy tickets online in advance for better prices) Day 3 Artsy slow day Spend the day wandering Central Park → Metropolitan Museum of Art, allow half a day or more to explore slowly, watch the park sunset in the evening Day 4 Off-the-beaten-path route High Line Park → Chelsea art district → Flatiron Building, experience the city’s popular elevated walkway Day 5 Shopping and rest Shop along Fifth Avenue or visit a lesser-known Jersey City viewpoint to avoid city crowds, then rest before heading home · — 🍽 Food guide, save money and avoid pitfalls 🔶 Affordable must-tries: Shake Shack burgers, New York pizza, bagel breakfast. Local chains offer the best value 🔶 Special experiences: Michelin-starred Manhattan restaurants and trendy steakhouses are overpriced. Regular tourists don’t need to rush to these 💡 Money-saving tips 1. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets; convenience stores near attractions charge double 2. Choose pickup when ordering food to avoid delivery tips 3. Chinatown offers great value Chinese food with flavors familiar to Chinese travelers, much cheaper than Western food ⚠️ Important pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) 1️⃣ Safety first: carry your backpack in front, watch your phone and wallet in the subway and crowded areas. Don’t engage with overly friendly strangers on the street or accept gifts—they will demand tips later. 2️⃣ Buy tickets online in advance: lines are long and prices are higher on site. Book Statue of Liberty tours, observation decks, and museums on official websites ahead of time. 3️⃣ Remember tipping rules: restaurant bills don’t include tips; you need to add them separately. Leave $1–2 per day for hotel housekeeping. 4️⃣ Transportation: use the subway for short trips. For longer distances, use ride-hailing apps—they cost half as much as hailing taxis on the street. Avoid driving if unfamiliar with the area; parking is very expensive. 5️⃣ Accommodation tips: if on a budget, stay in New Jersey or Long Island suburbs with subway access to Manhattan. You can save half on housing costs but expect longer commutes. Avoid remote neighborhoods. 💰 5-day per person budget reference (excluding international flights) · Comfortable trip: 6,500–10,000 yuan (city hotels + classic attractions + several full meals) · Budget trip: 4,000–5,500 yuan (suburban lodging, public transport, affordable meals) ✨ Final honest words New York is a city of extremes, where top-tier luxury and gritty street life coexist. It’s worth visiting once to see a world-class city firsthand. But if you prefer clean, tidy, stress-free vacations and dislike high tipping and crowded environments, New York probably won’t match your travel style. Adjust your expectations before you go.

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes. About 10 miles south of Las Vegas, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone decided on the location to present his large-scale public art to brighten the Mojave desert day and night.

#bucketlistdestinations Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills State Park is Ohio’s most famous hike— a 1-mile loop through a mossy gorge with waterfalls, caves, and sandstone cliffs. Entrance is free (no day-use fee), and the trailhead has a large parking lot (free, but fills by 8 am on weekends). The trail is rocky, with some steep sections and a few stairs—I wore hiking boots and watched my step on the mossy rocks. I carried 1 liter of water; there’s a water fountain at the visitor center, but not on the trail. A park ranger told me the cave is named after a hermit who lived there in the 1800s—“the moss was his carpet.” Kindness beat: a park volunteer gave me a free “Hocking Hills Explorer” booklet and told me to visit the “Devil’s Bathtub” (a nearby natural pool) early in the morning—“the moss is magical when the sun hits it.” My take: Old Man’s Cave is a reminder that “magic” can be found in your own backyard. The moss on the rocks is a sign that the forest is alive, even in a state park with millions of visitors. Should we prioritize “accessibility” in state parks, or keep some trails rugged and undeveloped?

The blend of rain and fall colors at Multnomah Falls creates a surreal, almost dreamlike feeling. #waterfalls #pacificnorthwest #pnw #beautifuldestinations #waterfalllovers #nature #pnwphotography #pnwexplored

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

#mytripvlog Beautiful Dillon Lake, known as Dillion Reserve Recreation Area in Dillon, is one of the giant freshwater lakes in Colorado where you can hike and fish.

In the United States, there are many national parks, and Denali National Park in Alaska is one of them. We were fortunate to have been able to see grizzly bears and a moose pretty close by. Together with the majestic mountains and golden yellow trees, they make for a great real life documentary! #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers

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 🫪.

#epictravelmoments The sheer, ancient majesty of the Grand Canyon hits you before you even hit the first wave, but nothing compares to the raw adrenaline when your raft drops into a roaring stretch of Class IV whitewater. As I gripped the safety ropes and felt the freezing, silty water crash over the bow, the towering red sandstone cliffs above seemed to close in, framing a narrow ribbon of sky that felt worlds away from modern life. Every plunge through the rapids was a dance between chaos and control, followed immediately by moments of unbelievable calm where the river slicked out like glass. Floating past rock layers carved over millions of years, I found myself completely captivated by the rhythm of the water, the echo of the canyon walls, and the unspoken camaraderie that forms when a group of strangers pitches in to row, rig, and navigate through one of nature's greatest masterpieces. When the sun began to dip, painting the sheer rock faces in shades of burnt orange and deep magenta, we pulled our rafts onto a isolated sandbar to set up camp under a sky bursting with stars. Gathering around a backcountry meal cooked over a camp stove, the silence of the canyon settled in, broken only by the steady murmur of the river drifting past. That night, sleeping on the warm sand with the fresh night air brushing against my face, I realized that rafting the Colorado River is far more than a thrilling sports adventure. It is a profound, grounding reset, a rare chance to unplug entirely and feel genuinely tiny in the presence of timeless geology and boundless open space. For anyone looking to experience this bucket-list expedition, proper planning is essential to pull off a seamless journey into the wilderness. Costs vary depending on the style of your trip, with short one-day or half-day runs starting around $150 to $400, while full multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 18 days typically cost anywhere between $1,500 and $6,000+ per person, which covers gear, professional guides, meals, and permits. Getting there usually starts by flying into Phoenix or Las Vegas, followed by a drive to Flagstaff or Page, Arizona, where most outfitters meet before shuttling you directly to the primary launch point at Lees Ferry. This was such an epic travel moment for me that I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

#photovsrealitytravel Everyone sees gorgeous pictures of Lake Tahoe, but does reality actually live up to the hype? The short answer is yes. In fact, these lesser known spots look even more breathtaking when you step onto the clear water and soft granite shores in person. Hidden Spots to Visit: · Secret Cove Location: East Shore near Incline Village Price: Free access · Monkey Rock Location: Incline Village trailhead Price: Free · Chimney Beach Location: East Shore, Nevada Price: Free · Eagle Rock Trail Location: West Shore near Homewood Price: Free · Whale Beach Location: East Shore, Lake Tahoe Price: Free Tips and Facts: · The water really is that brilliant turquoise in person, especially around midday when the sun shines directly overhead. · Camera lenses often miss the incredible scale of the surrounding mountains, so make sure to take in the full panoramic view in person. · Wearing polarized sunglasses gives you the same crystal clear underwater view in real life that professional photography captures. · Mistake to avoid: Parking along the narrow highway shoulders in undesignated zones, which can lead to heavy fines and long walks. · Mistake to avoid: Wearing slippery flat shoes on the steep, sandy paths that lead down to these secluded shores.

When you step into Plaza de España in Seville, it feels like walking into a vibrant historical painting. Built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, this square is the soul of Seville. Its huge semicircular layout resembles a crescent moon embedded on the east side of María Luisa Park. The architectural complex designed by Aníbal González blends Moorish Revival, Gothic, Renaissance, and other styles, with every detail exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. 🔆 The fountain in the center of the square splashes water that sparkles under the sunlight, like a dancer of time, endlessly performing the melody of the years. The surrounding colonnade is the most stunning part. Fifty-eight mosaic tile murals depict historical scenes and landscapes from various provinces of Spain, like an open history book telling the country's glory and vicissitudes. Sitting on a bench, looking at these exquisite tile paintings, you can almost feel the life of people from different regions and hear the rolling wheels of history passing by. 💃 When flamenco music plays in the square, passionate dancers express the passion and vitality of life through their body language. You will be infected by the enthusiasm of this square and involuntarily blend into the joyful atmosphere. At sunset, it is the most beautiful moment of the square. Warm sunlight shines on the orange walls, bathing the entire square in a golden glow. The horseshoe-shaped colonnade, with the interplay of light and shadow, looks like a time tunnel, making you feel as if you can travel back to the past and converse with history. 🏵️ Plaza de España in Seville is not just a building; it is a symbol of Spanish culture and history, a place that captivates visitors, immersing them in its beauty and charm.

Philadelphia is the cradle of American history and a very walkable city. This guide condenses the highlights for you, whether for a day trip or a longer stay. 🏛️ Must-see core area (historic district) · Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: they are next to each other and are American national treasures. Be sure to reserve Independence Hall tickets on the official website in advance. Tickets are free but often sell out in peak season. · National Constitution Center: interactive exhibits vividly tell the story of the U.S. Constitution. It's next to Independence Hall and worth visiting together. 🖼️ Art and culture (two highlights) · Philadelphia Museum of Art: a world-class museum. Don't miss Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase. The Rocky steps in front of the museum are a must for film fans. · Barnes Foundation: one of the world's finest collections of Impressionist art, with many works by Renoir and Cezanne. Tickets are strongly recommended in advance, and daily visitor limits apply. 🥩 Signature eats (Philadelphia specialties) · Philly cheesesteak (beef and cheese sandwich): a must-eat. Two rival longtime shops face each other across the street: Pat's and Geno's, both open 24 hours. Try a Whiz wit (with cheese sauce and onions). · Reading Terminal Market: a century-old indoor food hall. Try DiNic's roast pork sandwich (rated one of the best in the U.S.), and the Dutch-style fresh-made donuts. 📸 Off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots · Magic Garden: a whimsical courtyard of mosaic tile collages that's very photogenic. Tickets required. · Eastern State Penitentiary: once held 'Scarface' Al Capone, this Gothic prison ruin hosts special Halloween events and is impressive even for a regular visit. 🚇 Practical tips · Getting around: take the SEPTA regional rail from the airport (about $10) directly to downtown. Old City attractions are concentrated, so walking is best. · Shopping: sales tax is lower than in New York, and King of Prussia Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S., reachable by bus or taxi from the city. · Weather: hot and humid in summer, snowy in winter, and best in spring and fall. 🗺️ Ideal day-trip itinerary Morning Independence Hall → Liberty Bell → lunch at Reading Terminal Market → afternoon at the Barnes Foundation or Philadelphia Museum of Art → evening on South Street for a cheesesteak. If you have extra time, I highly recommend spending half a day visiting the University of Pennsylvania; its architecture and museums are also well worth a visit.

Las Vegas can feel surprisingly varied when a day includes wellness, dining, hotel design, and a recognizable outdoor landmark. Begin with the bubbling pool at Lapis Spa, then look inside the spacious bathroom of a Vdara studio. Mama Put adds a colorful meal with Chief, while the High Roller framed above The LINQ creates an easy evening landmark. Beauty & Essex finishes the route with a moody dining room that feels completely different from the bright spa and outdoor views. This itinerary works best with time between stops, since resort entrances and internal walkways can add more distance than expected. Save the outdoor portion for cooler weather or later in the day, and use the indoor stops as comfortable breaks. #lasvegas #thingstodo #localfood #wellness #travel2026#thingstodo#myitinerary#localfood

📍 Fontainebleau Las Vegas 2777 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109 Fontainebleau is one of the Strip’s newest mega-resorts—a 67-story, 3,600-plus room tower that feels more like a glossy fashion set than a casino lobby. Think marble rings of floor around giant rose sculptures, champagne-gold chandeliers, and long blue hallways that look designed for slow-motion entrance videos. It’s all very “Miami meets north Strip,” with the bow-tie logo repeating in the ceilings, carpets, and even the driveway lights. Beyond the looks, this place is built to be a full-service base: a 170,000-square-foot casino, dozens of restaurants and bars (many first-to-market concepts), and rooms that lean soft blue and grey with big windows facing either the Strip or the mountains. If you’re here for conventions, it’s right by the Las Vegas Convention Center; if you’re here for nightlife, the BleauLive Theater and on-site clubs keep the energy inside the building so you don’t have to chase Ubers up and down the Strip. #lasvegas #fontainebleau #travel #lasvegasstriphotels

#mytripvlog Historic Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in the living room of the founder of the City of Covina, J.S. Phillips, on Trinity Sunday in 1887. It turned 135 years old this year, designed by artchtector Fr. Alfred Fletcher. Steeped in liturgical traditions, it also embraces progressive values. The blue and red cart in the front of the church is a full-size replica of the one that hauled big stones from the riverbed to build the church in 1910. Address: 100 N 3rd Ave, Covina, CA 91723

Autumn in the Northwest offers only a brief 20-day window for the desert poplars. As the Gobi turns to gold and sand dunes meet lakes, this 7-day, 6-night loop—featuring desert poplars, deserts, Danxia landforms, and grasslands—unlocks the diverse landscapes of the Northwest and fulfills your dream of desert photography. The trip begins in Lanzhou, with an upgraded one-night stay at a 4-diamond hotel to help you recover from your journey. We then head to Badan Lake in the Badain Jaran Desert to witness the unique spectacle of sand dunes and lakes coexisting. With golden dunes reflected in the crystal-clear water, you can enjoy sandboarding and stroll through the sand sea, experiencing the vastness and romance unique to the desert. Heading west, discover the diverse charms of the four major desert poplar forests. At Ruoshui Jinshawan, golden poplars stand along the clear waters of the Ruoshui River, creating dreamlike reflections. Step into the ancient city of Heishui to touch the imprints of history left by the Silk Road. At dusk, witness the stunning sunset at the "Strange Tree Forest," where the gnarled, withered poplars create desolate silhouettes against the evening glow, revealing the resilient spirit of these trees that are said to "live for a thousand years." In the early morning, head to Juyan Lake to watch the sunrise as the sun rises over the water, gilding the reeds and watching water birds skim across the sparkling surface—every moment is picture-perfect. Spend a full day exploring the Ejina Poplar Forest, visiting the Erdaoqiao Reflection Forest and Sidaoqiao Hero Forest, where the movie "Hero" was filmed. We also include admission tickets to the Desert Poplar Forest, allowing you to immerse yourself in the golden sea of trees. We have also reserved ample time to explore the Jinta Poplar Forest, where the water perfectly mirrors the golden canopy, making it an ideal spot for photography. After bidding farewell to the poplar forests, head to the Pingshanhu Grand Canyon, where the crisscrossing reddish-brown gullies offer a geological spectacle comparable to the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Finally, visit the Binggou River Scenic Area, where snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands unfold like an autumn oil painting. Experience the gentle poetry of the Northwest beneath the Qilian Mountains before returning to Lanzhou, where the tour concludes. September–October is the peak season for the desert poplars. Don't miss this limited golden window—pack your camera and embark on this autumn rendezvous with the thousand-year-old trees!

A 3.5-hour drive from Nanjing, you enter the autumn secret realm of Southern Anhui—featuring the crystal-clear waters of the "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden waves of rice fields, and the original Huizhou-style charm of ancient towns. This "beautiful scenery with fewer people" treasure route is a must-get❗️ 🌿 The itinerary can be three days and two nights or two days and one night Day 1: Nanjing → Kushan Village, Shitai → Baishiling (first encounter with rice fields and ancient village) Day 2: Baishiling → Guniujiang ("Little Jiuzhaigou" of Southern Anhui, a mountain and water healing spot) Day 3 (optional): Guniujiang → Lixi, Qimen → Return (slow time in Huizhou-style ancient town) 📍 Practical tips to copy directly · Transportation: Best to self-drive the whole way. Nanjing → Shitai 3.5h, Shitai → Guniujiang 1h, Guniujiang → Lixi 1.5h. The mountain roads are smooth; slow down in rainy weather. · Tickets: Guniujiang 108 RMB/person (includes shuttle bus, half price for students); Kushan, Baishiling, and Lixi are all free. · Accommodation: Many homestays available, not too tight, so I won’t specifically recommend any~ This Southern Anhui self-drive trip avoids crowded popular spots but lets you gather the clear waters of "Little Jiuzhaigou," the golden rice fields, and the tranquility of ancient towns all in one go. Take advantage of the tail end of autumn for a wonderful and peaceful journey~ creator academy
