There is a large Lego exhibition in the atrium of Megabox. There are many large exhibits built with Lego, including pyramids, lions, sloths and penguins, and what I think is the most beautiful windmill and sea of ​​flowers. There are also activities to play around in the middle, including the Penguin Save Operation and building designated items with Lego. Friends who like Lego should not miss it. #lego fans take note

Coconut trees, clear water and a tranquil environment are all reasons to visit Maceió, right?

#bucketlistdestinations Murici is 60 km from Maceió (bus to Murici town BRL 12, then mototaxi BRL 15 to the station gate). The ecological station is restricted—entry by permit only, applied via ICMBio 30 days ahead (free, passport number needed). I joined a research group: the Atlantic forest here is primary, moss on every trunk, 4 m ferns, the Alagoas antwren (critically endangered) calling. No facilities, no fee beyond the permit. Best Jul–Oct; I went Aug, 24°C, no leeches. Mistake: I wore perfume—researcher scolded, it biases bird counts. Kindness beat: the station cook fed me feijão verde and said “a estação é dos bichos, nós somos convidados” (the station belongs to the animals, we’re guests). When entry is by permit only, is the forest more wild or more watched?

Strolling casually along the soft sandy shore, the shells by my feet each boast their own exquisite shapes. Some are half-buried in the fine sand, revealing a milky white halo; others were gently pushed ashore by last night's tide, lying quietly as if counting the rhythm of the waves. The sea breeze, carrying a faint hint of salt, brushes against my cheeks. As my fingertips trace the smooth, luminous surfaces of the shells polished by the sea, I am suddenly reminded of the ancient couplet: "The ocean tide ebbs and flows, day after day it rises and falls; the floating clouds gather and scatter, time after time they appear and fade." Gazing at these tiny shells that have weathered countless tides, my mind is filled with an indescribable sense of clarity. The stress of daily life effortlessly melts away. The frustrations hidden in everyday trivialities are quietly washed away by the lightness of the shells. With no noisy crowds or artificial commercial traces, I simply wander the beach at my own pace. Occasionally, I crouch down to pick up a tiny shell with patterns resembling scattered stars, watching it shimmer with a soft, pearlescent glow under the midday sun. Even my breathing becomes lighter and more relaxed. There is no rush to hit the next viral photo spot, nor any pressure to capture the perfect travel shot. Spending a leisurely half-day in the company of these scattered shells, I realize that the most moving travel experiences are never forced. This grounding sense of peace, quietly accompanied by the little shells, is truly the most unforgettable takeaway from this trip. Even the small light purple shell clutched in my palm as I leave becomes a tender, joyful keepsake of this carefree getaway.

I went to a city called Maceio in Brazil. Where?! You might be wondering. I actually went there without much prior information and with a casual attitude. But!! I ended up loving it the most out of all the cities I've visited so far. The incredible blue beaches, the laid-back atmosphere unique to Brazil, and the shallow waters were truly beautiful and soothing. Safety is relatively good on the main streets, but I do feel like you should be a little careful if you go down a side street or at night. It's incredibly far from Japan, but I'd love to go again. #Brazil #TravelAbroad

Also named “Xiangshan Park”, the Comendador Ho Yin Park was built in 1993 in honour of Sir Ho Yin, who was a leader of the Chinese community of Macao. The park connects end to end with the Park of Dr. Carlos d'Assumpção, forming a rectangular stretch of green corridor. With a diverse array of facilities, the park features simple design with a strong sense of modernity. Owing to urban development, the park underwent restructuring works in 2005. An underground car park was constructed beneath the park. The park was restructured and separated into two sections which are interconnected by an underground passage
