Trip Moment recommendations

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

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere. This is Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the soul of the town—Queen Street—is definitely the pinnacle of short trips in Canada! Compared to the repetitive popular check-in spots in Canada, Queen Street focuses on an authentic vintage atmosphere and is also a local secret vacation treasure. Whether it's a couple's honeymoon, a trip with girlfriends, or a solo healing journey, this street can fulfill all your fantasies of a European small town. Once you visit, you'll be completely captivated ❤️ 📍 Overview Niagara-on-the-Lake is located on the banks of the Niagara River, adjacent to Niagara Falls, 1.5 hours by car from Toronto, and 40 minutes from Buffalo, New York. The entire town was once a century-old colonial stronghold. Queen Street, as the town's main artery, is only 1.2 kilometers long. The street isn't very long, but every inch of scenery is worth slowing down to savor. The whole street is dominated by Victorian vintage architecture, with neatly arranged colorful detached houses and vintage villas on both sides. The street is surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, with cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, and maple leaves in autumn, each season offering its own charm. Unlike the fast-food style commercialization of popular Canadian commercial streets, the shop density here is moderate, with no noisy tourist groups, quiet and relaxed, perfectly suited for a slow-paced trip. 🌟 Must-visit core check-in spots 1. Vintage Colorful Building Cluster [Top Photo Spot] The buildings along Queen Street span the 18th to 19th centuries, with detached houses in cream white, mint green, caramel brown, and creamy yellow scattered about. Carved window sills, vintage iron railings, and pointed attics make every snapshot look like a European movie scene 🎬 Recommended best photo spot: Around the mid-street city hall area, where there are fewer people and no cluttered modern buildings in the background.

Each old item carries a story of time. Antique lovers must not miss this; the niche collections offer great value for money; · Floral Handmade Shop: The store is wrapped in fresh flowers, focusing on dried flower decorations and preserved flower accessories. Prices are affordable, perfect for buying as travel souvenirs; · Local Winery Store: Niagara is a well-known Canadian ice wine region.

Century-old Theatre & Street Art Queen Street is home to Canada's long-established Shaw Festival Theatre, which has a history of over a century and stages plays, musicals, and stage dramas all year round. Compared to expensive theatre tickets in big cities, prices here are affordable (80-150 CAD per person), allowing an immersive experience of Western art and culture with a fully charged atmosphere. In addition, street performers are everywhere along the street, including violin solos, oil painting sketching, and vintage magic shows. Strolling the street, surrounded by melodious music, you can immerse yourself in a medieval European small town. 🍰 Food Exploration | Local Secret List Traveling to Queen Street is not complete without eating the right food! Avoid the tourist traps and here’s a list of real treasure shops: 1. The Bench Market Cafe The town’s top French brunch spot 🔥, must-try Eggs Benedict and crispy waffles paired with fresh raspberries and blueberries. Rich and creamy without being greasy.

Sitting in the outdoor dining area at dusk, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Niagara River. The romance level is maxed out, perfect for couples. 📝 Comprehensive Travel Tips Best Travel Time From May to October every year!

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

#arrivalguide Visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time is an unforgettable experience, and a little planning makes the trip much smoother. I entered through the South Rim, which is the most popular area and offers easy access to scenic viewpoints, visitor services, and walking trails. Arrive early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic, find parking more easily, and enjoy cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather can become hot and dry, especially in summer. Keep your camera ready because the canyon views change beautifully throughout the day. Follow all safety signs and stay behind railings where provided, as the canyon edges can be dangerous. Spend time at several viewpoints instead of rushing through just one stop. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the canyon is an experience you won't forget and makes the visit even more rewarding. #arrivalguide #grandcanyonnationalpark #arizona #usa #nationalparks

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

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

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

Deep Travel Guide to Tongna Yuwan: A Secret Rendezvous of Mountains, Waters, and Immortal Heroes Tongna Yuwan, hidden in Chongzuo, Guangxi, a national AAAA-level scenic area, poetically named with "Tong" meaning mountain and water village, "Na" meaning fertile land, "Yu" meaning small island like stars, and "Wan" meaning river bend for boat crossing.

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

Hidden in the mountains and forests of Qingyuan, the poetic guesthouse Xiyang Yishanjing offers a perfect escape from the city noise with your kids, where you can breathe fresh air and feel truly healed! 📍 Location and Environment: The guesthouse is nestled among green mountains. On the drive in, you are surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams, with the scent of grass and wood in the air. As soon as the kids got in the car, they said, "Mom, the air smells so good!" After getting off, the quaint and elegant white walls and black tiles of the guesthouse come into view, perfectly blending with the natural scenery. The kids couldn’t help but pull me to take photos~ 🏠 Room Setup: We booked a mountain view room, and opening the window reveals endless greenery. The first thing the kids do every morning is open the window to look at the mountains~ The room is simply and warmly decorated, with wooden furniture emitting a faint woody fragrance. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the kids slept very well, feeling refreshed the next day~ The bathroom is clean and tidy, thoughtfully equipped with disposable children’s toothbrushes, slippers, and bath towels, plus free children’s drinks (juice, milk). The attention to detail is impressive~ The biggest surprise was the small balcony with a cozy table and chairs, where we sat with the kids to brew tea and watch the distant mountains, making time feel like it slowed down~ 🍱 Dining Experience: The guesthouse’s food is very special, so no worries about picky eaters! Breakfast features local traditional dishes: light noodles, fresh vegetables, cut fruit, and refreshing pickles, each tasting like home. The kids ate heartily~ They also prepared a visually appealing and delicious afternoon tea, with low-sugar mini cakes and fresh juicy fruit. Sitting in the courtyard with the kids, basking in the sun and chatting, was super relaxing~ 🛎 Service Quality: The staff are extremely warm and friendly, from reception to the cleaning aunties, all wearing sincere smiles~ During check-in, they gave a detailed introduction to the guesthouse facilities and nearby family-friendly attractions. They especially mentioned that the guesthouse uses local mountain spring water with a dedicated filtration system, making it very safe for kids to drink~ When walking around the guesthouse with the kids, the staff would proactively greet them and share fun little stories about the mountains, very kind and approachable~ 💡 Nearby Activities: The area around the guesthouse is perfect for kids! There is a clear shallow stream nearby where kids can splash in the water, pick up small stones, and play with water guns, keeping them entertained all afternoon. Walking along the stream path, you can also see cute little insects (butterflies, beetles) and beautiful wildflowers, a great chance to teach kids about nature~ Not far away is a small village with distinctive white walls and black tiles, perfect for photo ops with the kids~ Overall, this stay at Xiyang Yishanjing guesthouse was fantastic! Like a hidden paradise in the mountains, it lets kids get close to nature and parents relax. Highly recommended~ 📌 Accommodation Tips: Nearby recommended stays — Qingyuan Xiyang Yishanjing Guesthouse (top choice for poetic family stays with a strong natural atmosphere), Qingyuan Huangteng Gorge family guesthouse (great for kids to enjoy thrilling and fun rafting).

📍Location: Ge Xian Village Resort, Shangrao, Jiangxi, Taixu Huanjing Boat Dock 🎫Tickets: 130 RMB, the ticket includes the Thousand Lantern Festival, various intangible cultural heritage performances, and interactive mini-games within the scenic area 🛶Boat Ticket: 100 RMB for half an hour, includes a pack of fish food. Some online sources mentioned a 20 RMB half-hour ticket, but when I went to the dock, I only saw boats starting at 100 RMB, with clear posted pricing rules and no cheaper options 👷🏻‍♂️Rowing: I paid an extra 50 RMB to have a dock staff row the boat for me. It’s a pedal boat, so the total cost was 50 + 100 = 150 RMB. You can also ask a companion to row, but the boat is hard to control. The boatman constantly adjusted the direction, scattered fish food, and pushed the boat to adjust angles during the shoot. It was quite tiring but he was very skilled and worked well with the photographer 📸Photographer: Highly recommend my photographer, super nice and very experienced. He kept communicating with the boatman about positioning, guided my poses, handed me props, and had great retouching skills! 399 RMB for about 40 minutes 💄Makeup & Hair: Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke, the shop is right by the koi pond inside the scenic area. Clothes are chosen on the second floor, makeup done on the first floor. No appointments, queue on site. Makeup packages are 268 RMB and 468 RMB. I only paid for makeup and hair, which was 168 RMB. Makeup took about 1 hour 💃🏻Clothing: I rented separately on Xianyu for 100 RMB. This outfit is called “You Yuan Jing Meng Hong Yu Fei Yan Hanfu,” which matches the koi colors well. Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke also offers this outfit plus makeup package, but it’s a premium option priced at 468 RMB, more expensive than my combination 💰Total photo shoot cost excluding tickets: 100 RMB boat + 50 RMB boatman + 399 RMB photographer + 168 RMB makeup & hair + 100 RMB clothing = 817 RMB 💡Camera Positions: 1️⃣Most photos were taken by the photographer standing on the wooden bridge by the pond. The boat is rowed close to the bridge, and a regular camera shooting downward can achieve a drone-like effect. This position is good for overhead shots (photos 1-3) 2️⃣Some photos were taken by the photographer standing on the shore next to the bridge, suitable for close-ups and seated poses (photos 5, 6, 7, 8) 3️⃣Photo 4 was taken by the photographer standing on the shore opposite the tower. The boat needs to be rowed to the far side of the pond, with the tower as the background Photo Poses: lying down, sitting, leaning forward pretending to feed fish 📌Tips: 1️⃣During the shoot, stay at the front of the boat and as close to the edge as possible. Leaning out looks better but be careful not to fall into the water 2️⃣Clothes will inevitably get wet during the shoot, which can be very cold. Keep warm and bring a thick jacket 3️⃣The best time for shooting is at dusk when the water surface is not reflective, the fish are clear, and you can capture both daytime and night scenes

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

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere. This is Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the soul of the town—Queen Street—is definitely the pinnacle of short trips in Canada! Compared to the repetitive popular check-in spots in Canada, Queen Street focuses on an authentic vintage atmosphere and is also a local secret vacation treasure. Whether it's a couple's honeymoon, a trip with girlfriends, or a solo healing journey, this street can fulfill all your fantasies of a European small town. Once you visit, you'll be completely captivated ❤️ 📍 Overview Niagara-on-the-Lake is located on the banks of the Niagara River, adjacent to Niagara Falls, 1.5 hours by car from Toronto, and 40 minutes from Buffalo, New York. The entire town was once a century-old colonial stronghold. Queen Street, as the town's main artery, is only 1.2 kilometers long. The street isn't very long, but every inch of scenery is worth slowing down to savor. The whole street is dominated by Victorian vintage architecture, with neatly arranged colorful detached houses and vintage villas on both sides. The street is surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, with cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, and maple leaves in autumn, each season offering its own charm. Unlike the fast-food style commercialization of popular Canadian commercial streets, the shop density here is moderate, with no noisy tourist groups, quiet and relaxed, perfectly suited for a slow-paced trip. 🌟 Must-visit core check-in spots 1. Vintage Colorful Building Cluster [Top Photo Spot] The buildings along Queen Street span the 18th to 19th centuries, with detached houses in cream white, mint green, caramel brown, and creamy yellow scattered about. Carved window sills, vintage iron railings, and pointed attics make every snapshot look like a European movie scene 🎬 Recommended best photo spot: Around the mid-street city hall area, where there are fewer people and no cluttered modern buildings in the background. On sunny days, the light and shadow atmosphere is perfect! Outfit suggestions include light-colored long dresses, French-style trench coats, and vintage suits, suitable for all styles with a 100% chance of great photos. 2. Niche Unique Treasure Shops The entire street gathers dozens of specialty shops including cultural and creative stores, antiques, aromatherapy, handmade crafts, wineries, and clothing stores, rejecting the uniformity of Yiwu-style small commodities: · Antique Collection Store: Displays century-old vintage cameras, silverware, old oil paintings, and vintage records. Each old item carries a story of time. Antique lovers must not miss this; the niche collections offer great value for money; · Floral Handmade Shop: The store is wrapped in fresh flowers, focusing on dried flower decorations and preserved flower accessories. Prices are affordable, perfect for buying as travel souvenirs; · Local Winery Store: Niagara is a well-known Canadian ice wine region. The street-side winery stores offer free tastings of ice wine and dry red wine, and even beginners can learn wine tasting knowledge for free. 3. Century-old Theatre & Street Art Queen Street is home to Canada's long-established Shaw Festival Theatre, which has a history of over a century and stages plays, musicals, and stage dramas all year round.

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

#arrivalguide Visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time is an unforgettable experience, and a little planning makes the trip much smoother. I entered through the South Rim, which is the most popular area and offers easy access to scenic viewpoints, visitor services, and walking trails. Arrive early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic, find parking more easily, and enjoy cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather can become hot and dry, especially in summer. Keep your camera ready because the canyon views change beautifully throughout the day. Follow all safety signs and stay behind railings where provided, as the canyon edges can be dangerous. Spend time at several viewpoints instead of rushing through just one stop. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the canyon is an experience you won't forget and makes the visit even more rewarding. #arrivalguide #grandcanyonnationalpark #arizona #usa #nationalparks

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

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 🫪.

Deep Travel Guide to Tongna Yuwan: A Secret Rendezvous of Mountains, Waters, and Immortal Heroes Tongna Yuwan, hidden in Chongzuo, Guangxi, a national AAAA-level scenic area, poetically named with "Tong" meaning mountain and water village, "Na" meaning fertile land, "Yu" meaning small island like stars, and "Wan" meaning river bend for boat crossing. It blends karst waterfront landscapes with Zhuang ethnic customs and is also a filming location for immortal hero dramas like "The Journey of Flower."

Core Activities: Two Routes Unlock Different Sceneries Recommended Route (Boat + Hiking, 2-3 hours) 1.

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

Hidden in the mountains and forests of Qingyuan, the poetic guesthouse Xiyang Yishanjing offers a perfect escape from the city noise with your kids, where you can breathe fresh air and feel truly healed! 📍 Location and Environment: The guesthouse is nestled among green mountains. On the drive in, you are surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams, with the scent of grass and wood in the air. As soon as the kids got in the car, they said, "Mom, the air smells so good!" After getting off, the quaint and elegant white walls and black tiles of the guesthouse come into view, perfectly blending with the natural scenery. The kids couldn’t help but pull me to take photos~ 🏠 Room Setup: We booked a mountain view room, and opening the window reveals endless greenery. The first thing the kids do every morning is open the window to look at the mountains~ The room is simply and warmly decorated, with wooden furniture emitting a faint woody fragrance. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the kids slept very well, feeling refreshed the next day~ The bathroom is clean and tidy, thoughtfully equipped with disposable children’s toothbrushes, slippers, and bath towels, plus free children’s drinks (juice, milk). The attention to detail is impressive~ The biggest surprise was the small balcony with a cozy table and chairs, where we sat with the kids to brew tea and watch the distant mountains, making time feel like it slowed down~ 🍱 Dining Experience: The guesthouse’s food is very special, so no worries about picky eaters! Breakfast features local traditional dishes: light noodles, fresh vegetables, cut fruit, and refreshing pickles, each tasting like home. The kids ate heartily~ They also prepared a visually appealing and delicious afternoon tea, with low-sugar mini cakes and fresh juicy fruit. Sitting in the courtyard with the kids, basking in the sun and chatting, was super relaxing~ 🛎 Service Quality: The staff are extremely warm and friendly, from reception to the cleaning aunties, all wearing sincere smiles~ During check-in, they gave a detailed introduction to the guesthouse facilities and nearby family-friendly attractions. They especially mentioned that the guesthouse uses local mountain spring water with a dedicated filtration system, making it very safe for kids to drink~ When walking around the guesthouse with the kids, the staff would proactively greet them and share fun little stories about the mountains, very kind and approachable~ 💡 Nearby Activities: The area around the guesthouse is perfect for kids! There is a clear shallow stream nearby where kids can splash in the water, pick up small stones, and play with water guns, keeping them entertained all afternoon. Walking along the stream path, you can also see cute little insects (butterflies, beetles) and beautiful wildflowers, a great chance to teach kids about nature~ Not far away is a small village with distinctive white walls and black tiles, perfect for photo ops with the kids~ Overall, this stay at Xiyang Yishanjing guesthouse was fantastic! Like a hidden paradise in the mountains, it lets kids get close to nature and parents relax. Highly recommended~ 📌 Accommodation Tips: Nearby recommended stays — Qingyuan Xiyang Yishanjing Guesthouse (top choice for poetic family stays with a strong natural atmosphere), Qingyuan Huangteng Gorge family guesthouse (great for kids to enjoy thrilling and fun rafting).

📍Location: Ge Xian Village Resort, Shangrao, Jiangxi, Taixu Huanjing Boat Dock 🎫Tickets: 130 RMB, the ticket includes the Thousand Lantern Festival, various intangible cultural heritage performances, and interactive mini-games within the scenic area 🛶Boat Ticket: 100 RMB for half an hour, includes a pack of fish food. Some online sources mentioned a 20 RMB half-hour ticket, but when I went to the dock, I only saw boats starting at 100 RMB, with clear posted pricing rules and no cheaper options 👷🏻‍♂️Rowing: I paid an extra 50 RMB to have a dock staff row the boat for me. It’s a pedal boat, so the total cost was 50 + 100 = 150 RMB. You can also ask a companion to row, but the boat is hard to control. The boatman constantly adjusted the direction, scattered fish food, and pushed the boat to adjust angles during the shoot. It was quite tiring but he was very skilled and worked well with the photographer 📸Photographer: Highly recommend my photographer, super nice and very experienced. He kept communicating with the boatman about positioning, guided my poses, handed me props, and had great retouching skills! 399 RMB for about 40 minutes 💄Makeup & Hair: Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke, the shop is right by the koi pond inside the scenic area. Clothes are chosen on the second floor, makeup done on the first floor. No appointments, queue on site. Makeup packages are 268 RMB and 468 RMB. I only paid for makeup and hair, which was 168 RMB. Makeup took about 1 hour 💃🏻Clothing: I rented separately on Xianyu for 100 RMB. This outfit is called “You Yuan Jing Meng Hong Yu Fei Yan Hanfu,” which matches the koi colors well. Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke also offers this outfit plus makeup package, but it’s a premium option priced at 468 RMB, more expensive than my combination 💰Total photo shoot cost excluding tickets: 100 RMB boat + 50 RMB boatman + 399 RMB photographer + 168 RMB makeup & hair + 100 RMB clothing = 817 RMB 💡Camera Positions: 1️⃣Most photos were taken by the photographer standing on the wooden bridge by the pond. The boat is rowed close to the bridge, and a regular camera shooting downward can achieve a drone-like effect. This position is good for overhead shots (photos 1-3) 2️⃣Some photos were taken by the photographer standing on the shore next to the bridge, suitable for close-ups and seated poses (photos 5, 6, 7, 8) 3️⃣Photo 4 was taken by the photographer standing on the shore opposite the tower. The boat needs to be rowed to the far side of the pond, with the tower as the background Photo Poses: lying down, sitting, leaning forward pretending to feed fish 📌Tips: 1️⃣During the shoot, stay at the front of the boat and as close to the edge as possible. Leaning out looks better but be careful not to fall into the water 2️⃣Clothes will inevitably get wet during the shoot, which can be very cold. Keep warm and bring a thick jacket 3️⃣The best time for shooting is at dusk when the water surface is not reflective, the fish are clear, and you can capture both daytime and night scenes

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

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere.

Sitting in the outdoor dining area at dusk, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Niagara River. The romance level is maxed out, perfect for couples. 📝 Comprehensive Travel Tips Best Travel Time From May to October every year!

Transportation Guide ✅ Self-driving: 1.5 hours from downtown Toronto, plenty of free roadside parking, most convenient for self-driving; ✅ Public transport: Direct bus from Toronto to the town, walkable to explore Queen Street upon arrival; ✅ Combined trips: After visiting Queen Street, a 15-minute drive takes you to Niagara Falls, perfect for a one-day dual itinerary.

💎Overseas secret wild ambassador | California Fort Bragg glass beach film-style travel guide Destination: Glass Beach at MacKerricher State Park, Fort Bragg, California. Once a city dump site, decades of ocean waves have polished it into a coast of sparkling sea glass. A must-stop natural hidden gem on the Highway 1 road trip. 🚗 Two travel options Drive north from San Francisco along CA-1 Highway. The drive takes about 3.5 hours with Pacific cliffside ocean views all along the way, where you can stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. There is a small free parking lot at the beach’s end. Parking is limited during peak season, so try to arrive before 9 AM. Paid parking in the state park costs US$10 per day. If you don’t have a car, you can take the Greyhound bus to Fort Bragg town, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the beach. The total trip takes 6 to 8 hours. Local carpool or day tours are also options. 📸 Four main highlights ✨ Rainbow sea glass beach: White and green sea glass are most common. Red and blue are rare and only fully visible at low tide when the entire tidal flat is exposed. The coast is divided into three beach areas.

Northern California’s coast is windy year-round with cooler temperatures, so bring a windbreaker and high-SPF sunscreen. Check the tide schedule before you go. Low tide is the only time to see large areas of sea glass. California state parks strictly prohibit collecting or removing sea glass. Violators face heavy fines. Photography is allowed. There are no shops or restaurants on the beach. Bring your own drinking water and snacks.

#arrivalguide Visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time is an unforgettable experience, and a little planning makes the trip much smoother. I entered through the South Rim, which is the most popular area and offers easy access to scenic viewpoints, visitor services, and walking trails. Arrive early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic, find parking more easily, and enjoy cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather can become hot and dry, especially in summer. Keep your camera ready because the canyon views change beautifully throughout the day. Follow all safety signs and stay behind railings where provided, as the canyon edges can be dangerous. Spend time at several viewpoints instead of rushing through just one stop. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the canyon is an experience you won't forget and makes the visit even more rewarding. #arrivalguide #grandcanyonnationalpark #arizona #usa #nationalparks

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

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 🫪.

Boat Exploration (50 minutes): Board at the Visitor Center dock, enjoy sights like Shuizhai Gate, Qixingyu Island, Water Mist Secret Realm, check in at filming spots like the suspension bridge from "The Journey of Flower" and Laughing Buddha Mountain. Zhuang ethnic sisters provide folk stories and sing mountain songs. 2. Island Hiking: After disembarking at Guantian Dock, first taste the Tusi welcoming rice wine to feel Zhuang hospitality, then visit in order: · Guantian Farm: Spring and summer flower seas bloom, restoring the pastoral scenery of Tusi’s farmland; · Chuanzi Stone Forest + Flower Valley: Strange stone formations and flower-filled valleys, like a fairy tale secret realm; · Chadong Coffee: Hidden among the stone forest, a perfect spot to rest and enjoy coffee; · Xiake Trail: Best viewpoint overlooking Longbitan tiered waterfalls, with Xu Xiake’s travel notes imprinted along the way; · Longbitan: The core attraction "Earth’s Heart," heart-shaped tiered waterfalls with flowing water through stones, crystal clear and green; · Return: Cross the river on a traditional Lala ferry, pass through the water forest secret realm, then take a boat from Bailadu Dock back to Tusi Dock. Pure Hiking Route (1 hour, suitable for those short on time) Starting from the scenic area entrance, pass Po Huang Island, Chuanzi Stone Forest, "The Journey of Flower" filming spots, Chadong, reach Longbitan, cross the water forest secret realm by Lala ferry to return. Though missing the water views, it’s more efficient. 4. Must-Experience Activities: Immersive Mountain and Water Culture · Bamboo Raft Drift / Paddleboard Experience: Ride an old-style bamboo raft while the raftman sings folk tunes, or take a transparent paddleboard to watch the sunset, the lake reflecting a soda-orange sky. Beginners get coach guidance, great for photos. · Folk Interaction: Watch toasting songs, bamboo pole dances, Flower Fairy solo dances, participate in grass dyeing, pottery making, and other hands-on experiences to deeply feel Zhuang culture. · Starry Camping: Set up tents on the scenic area lawn, roast marshmallows around the campfire, watch stars and fireflies dance together.

Food List: Unlock Local Specialty Flavors · Bamboo Tube Rice: Glutinous rice mixed with bamboo fragrance, wrapped with chicken and mushrooms, full of ritual sense; · Suanye (Sour Snack): Green mango, guava, pineapple soaked in sweet and sour sauce, sprinkled with chili powder, sour and spicy and refreshing; · Cassava Sweet Soup: Tapioca balls soaked in coconut milk, served with crushed ice to cool down, a must-have for summer heat relief; · Panshang Market Snacks: Stroll the riverside market, taste local farmers’ freshly made mixed grain cakes and specialty marinated flavors. 6. Accommodation Recommendations: Choose According to Your Needs · Light Luxury: Rainforest wooden cabins, open windows to greenery, listen to insects at night, greet the sun in the morning; · Cost-effective Choice: Riverside homestays / bay inns, step outside to streams, watch morning river mist, listen to Zhuang songs at night; · Convenient Choice: Star-rated hotels or budget inns in Chongzuo city, convenient for transportation and dining, suitable for multi-attraction trips.

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

Hidden in the mountains and forests of Qingyuan, the poetic guesthouse Xiyang Yishanjing offers a perfect escape from the city noise with your kids, where you can breathe fresh air and feel truly healed! 📍 Location and Environment: The guesthouse is nestled among green mountains. On the drive in, you are surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams, with the scent of grass and wood in the air. As soon as the kids got in the car, they said, "Mom, the air smells so good!" After getting off, the quaint and elegant white walls and black tiles of the guesthouse come into view, perfectly blending with the natural scenery. The kids couldn’t help but pull me to take photos~ 🏠 Room Setup: We booked a mountain view room, and opening the window reveals endless greenery. The first thing the kids do every morning is open the window to look at the mountains~ The room is simply and warmly decorated, with wooden furniture emitting a faint woody fragrance. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the kids slept very well, feeling refreshed the next day~ The bathroom is clean and tidy, thoughtfully equipped with disposable children’s toothbrushes, slippers, and bath towels, plus free children’s drinks (juice, milk). The attention to detail is impressive~ The biggest surprise was the small balcony with a cozy table and chairs, where we sat with the kids to brew tea and watch the distant mountains, making time feel like it slowed down~ 🍱 Dining Experience: The guesthouse’s food is very special, so no worries about picky eaters! Breakfast features local traditional dishes: light noodles, fresh vegetables, cut fruit, and refreshing pickles, each tasting like home. The kids ate heartily~ They also prepared a visually appealing and delicious afternoon tea, with low-sugar mini cakes and fresh juicy fruit. Sitting in the courtyard with the kids, basking in the sun and chatting, was super relaxing~ 🛎 Service Quality: The staff are extremely warm and friendly, from reception to the cleaning aunties, all wearing sincere smiles~ During check-in, they gave a detailed introduction to the guesthouse facilities and nearby family-friendly attractions. They especially mentioned that the guesthouse uses local mountain spring water with a dedicated filtration system, making it very safe for kids to drink~ When walking around the guesthouse with the kids, the staff would proactively greet them and share fun little stories about the mountains, very kind and approachable~ 💡 Nearby Activities: The area around the guesthouse is perfect for kids! There is a clear shallow stream nearby where kids can splash in the water, pick up small stones, and play with water guns, keeping them entertained all afternoon. Walking along the stream path, you can also see cute little insects (butterflies, beetles) and beautiful wildflowers, a great chance to teach kids about nature~ Not far away is a small village with distinctive white walls and black tiles, perfect for photo ops with the kids~ Overall, this stay at Xiyang Yishanjing guesthouse was fantastic! Like a hidden paradise in the mountains, it lets kids get close to nature and parents relax. Highly recommended~ 📌 Accommodation Tips: Nearby recommended stays — Qingyuan Xiyang Yishanjing Guesthouse (top choice for poetic family stays with a strong natural atmosphere), Qingyuan Huangteng Gorge family guesthouse (great for kids to enjoy thrilling and fun rafting).

📍Location: Ge Xian Village Resort, Shangrao, Jiangxi, Taixu Huanjing Boat Dock 🎫Tickets: 130 RMB, the ticket includes the Thousand Lantern Festival, various intangible cultural heritage performances, and interactive mini-games within the scenic area 🛶Boat Ticket: 100 RMB for half an hour, includes a pack of fish food. Some online sources mentioned a 20 RMB half-hour ticket, but when I went to the dock, I only saw boats starting at 100 RMB, with clear posted pricing rules and no cheaper options 👷🏻‍♂️Rowing: I paid an extra 50 RMB to have a dock staff row the boat for me. It’s a pedal boat, so the total cost was 50 + 100 = 150 RMB. You can also ask a companion to row, but the boat is hard to control. The boatman constantly adjusted the direction, scattered fish food, and pushed the boat to adjust angles during the shoot. It was quite tiring but he was very skilled and worked well with the photographer 📸Photographer: Highly recommend my photographer, super nice and very experienced. He kept communicating with the boatman about positioning, guided my poses, handed me props, and had great retouching skills! 399 RMB for about 40 minutes 💄Makeup & Hair: Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke, the shop is right by the koi pond inside the scenic area. Clothes are chosen on the second floor, makeup done on the first floor. No appointments, queue on site. Makeup packages are 268 RMB and 468 RMB. I only paid for makeup and hair, which was 168 RMB. Makeup took about 1 hour 💃🏻Clothing: I rented separately on Xianyu for 100 RMB. This outfit is called “You Yuan Jing Meng Hong Yu Fei Yan Hanfu,” which matches the koi colors well. Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke also offers this outfit plus makeup package, but it’s a premium option priced at 468 RMB, more expensive than my combination 💰Total photo shoot cost excluding tickets: 100 RMB boat + 50 RMB boatman + 399 RMB photographer + 168 RMB makeup & hair + 100 RMB clothing = 817 RMB 💡Camera Positions: 1️⃣Most photos were taken by the photographer standing on the wooden bridge by the pond. The boat is rowed close to the bridge, and a regular camera shooting downward can achieve a drone-like effect. This position is good for overhead shots (photos 1-3) 2️⃣Some photos were taken by the photographer standing on the shore next to the bridge, suitable for close-ups and seated poses (photos 5, 6, 7, 8) 3️⃣Photo 4 was taken by the photographer standing on the shore opposite the tower. The boat needs to be rowed to the far side of the pond, with the tower as the background Photo Poses: lying down, sitting, leaning forward pretending to feed fish 📌Tips: 1️⃣During the shoot, stay at the front of the boat and as close to the edge as possible. Leaning out looks better but be careful not to fall into the water 2️⃣Clothes will inevitably get wet during the shoot, which can be very cold. Keep warm and bring a thick jacket 3️⃣The best time for shooting is at dusk when the water surface is not reflective, the fish are clear, and you can capture both daytime and night scenes

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

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere. This is Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the soul of the town—Queen Street—is definitely the pinnacle of short trips in Canada! Compared to the repetitive popular check-in spots in Canada, Queen Street focuses on an authentic vintage atmosphere and is also a local secret vacation treasure. Whether it's a couple's honeymoon, a trip with girlfriends, or a solo healing journey, this street can fulfill all your fantasies of a European small town. Once you visit, you'll be completely captivated ❤️ 📍 Overview Niagara-on-the-Lake is located on the banks of the Niagara River, adjacent to Niagara Falls, 1.5 hours by car from Toronto, and 40 minutes from Buffalo, New York. The entire town was once a century-old colonial stronghold. Queen Street, as the town's main artery, is only 1.2 kilometers long. The street isn't very long, but every inch of scenery is worth slowing down to savor. The whole street is dominated by Victorian vintage architecture, with neatly arranged colorful detached houses and vintage villas on both sides. The street is surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, with cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, and maple leaves in autumn, each season offering its own charm. Unlike the fast-food style commercialization of popular Canadian commercial streets, the shop density here is moderate, with no noisy tourist groups, quiet and relaxed, perfectly suited for a slow-paced trip. 🌟 Must-visit core check-in spots 1. Vintage Colorful Building Cluster [Top Photo Spot] The buildings along Queen Street span the 18th to 19th centuries, with detached houses in cream white, mint green, caramel brown, and creamy yellow scattered about.

Century-old Theatre & Street Art Queen Street is home to Canada's long-established Shaw Festival Theatre, which has a history of over a century and stages plays, musicals, and stage dramas all year round. Compared to expensive theatre tickets in big cities, prices here are affordable (80-150 CAD per person), allowing an immersive experience of Western art and culture with a fully charged atmosphere. In addition, street performers are everywhere along the street, including violin solos, oil painting sketching, and vintage magic shows. Strolling the street, surrounded by melodious music, you can immerse yourself in a medieval European small town. 🍰 Food Exploration | Local Secret List Traveling to Queen Street is not complete without eating the right food! Avoid the tourist traps and here’s a list of real treasure shops: 1.

Sitting in the outdoor dining area at dusk, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Niagara River. The romance level is maxed out, perfect for couples. 📝 Comprehensive Travel Tips Best Travel Time From May to October every year! Flowers bloom in May and June with mild weather; September and October bring golden autumn with red and yellow maple leaves, doubling the vintage atmosphere—best time for photos; July and August are peak tourist seasons with more visitors. Transportation Guide ✅ Self-driving: 1.5 hours from downtown Toronto, plenty of free roadside parking, most convenient for self-driving; ✅ Public transport: Direct bus from Toronto to the town, walkable to explore Queen Street upon arrival; ✅ Combined trips: After visiting Queen Street, a 15-minute drive takes you to Niagara Falls, perfect for a one-day dual itinerary.

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

#arrivalguide Visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time is an unforgettable experience, and a little planning makes the trip much smoother. I entered through the South Rim, which is the most popular area and offers easy access to scenic viewpoints, visitor services, and walking trails. Arrive early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic, find parking more easily, and enjoy cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather can become hot and dry, especially in summer. Keep your camera ready because the canyon views change beautifully throughout the day. Follow all safety signs and stay behind railings where provided, as the canyon edges can be dangerous. Spend time at several viewpoints instead of rushing through just one stop. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the canyon is an experience you won't forget and makes the visit even more rewarding. #arrivalguide #grandcanyonnationalpark #arizona #usa #nationalparks

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

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 🫪.

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

Hidden in the mountains and forests of Qingyuan, the poetic guesthouse Xiyang Yishanjing offers a perfect escape from the city noise with your kids, where you can breathe fresh air and feel truly healed! 📍 Location and Environment: The guesthouse is nestled among green mountains. On the drive in, you are surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams, with the scent of grass and wood in the air. As soon as the kids got in the car, they said, "Mom, the air smells so good!" After getting off, the quaint and elegant white walls and black tiles of the guesthouse come into view, perfectly blending with the natural scenery. The kids couldn’t help but pull me to take photos~ 🏠 Room Setup: We booked a mountain view room, and opening the window reveals endless greenery. The first thing the kids do every morning is open the window to look at the mountains~ The room is simply and warmly decorated, with wooden furniture emitting a faint woody fragrance. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the kids slept very well, feeling refreshed the next day~ The bathroom is clean and tidy, thoughtfully equipped with disposable children’s toothbrushes, slippers, and bath towels, plus free children’s drinks (juice, milk). The attention to detail is impressive~ The biggest surprise was the small balcony with a cozy table and chairs, where we sat with the kids to brew tea and watch the distant mountains, making time feel like it slowed down~ 🍱 Dining Experience: The guesthouse’s food is very special, so no worries about picky eaters! Breakfast features local traditional dishes: light noodles, fresh vegetables, cut fruit, and refreshing pickles, each tasting like home. The kids ate heartily~ They also prepared a visually appealing and delicious afternoon tea, with low-sugar mini cakes and fresh juicy fruit. Sitting in the courtyard with the kids, basking in the sun and chatting, was super relaxing~ 🛎 Service Quality: The staff are extremely warm and friendly, from reception to the cleaning aunties, all wearing sincere smiles~ During check-in, they gave a detailed introduction to the guesthouse facilities and nearby family-friendly attractions. They especially mentioned that the guesthouse uses local mountain spring water with a dedicated filtration system, making it very safe for kids to drink~ When walking around the guesthouse with the kids, the staff would proactively greet them and share fun little stories about the mountains, very kind and approachable~ 💡 Nearby Activities: The area around the guesthouse is perfect for kids! There is a clear shallow stream nearby where kids can splash in the water, pick up small stones, and play with water guns, keeping them entertained all afternoon. Walking along the stream path, you can also see cute little insects (butterflies, beetles) and beautiful wildflowers, a great chance to teach kids about nature~ Not far away is a small village with distinctive white walls and black tiles, perfect for photo ops with the kids~ Overall, this stay at Xiyang Yishanjing guesthouse was fantastic! Like a hidden paradise in the mountains, it lets kids get close to nature and parents relax. Highly recommended~ 📌 Accommodation Tips: Nearby recommended stays — Qingyuan Xiyang Yishanjing Guesthouse (top choice for poetic family stays with a strong natural atmosphere), Qingyuan Huangteng Gorge family guesthouse (great for kids to enjoy thrilling and fun rafting).

📍Location: Ge Xian Village Resort, Shangrao, Jiangxi, Taixu Huanjing Boat Dock 🎫Tickets: 130 RMB, the ticket includes the Thousand Lantern Festival, various intangible cultural heritage performances, and interactive mini-games within the scenic area 🛶Boat Ticket: 100 RMB for half an hour, includes a pack of fish food. Some online sources mentioned a 20 RMB half-hour ticket, but when I went to the dock, I only saw boats starting at 100 RMB, with clear posted pricing rules and no cheaper options 👷🏻‍♂️Rowing: I paid an extra 50 RMB to have a dock staff row the boat for me. It’s a pedal boat, so the total cost was 50 + 100 = 150 RMB. You can also ask a companion to row, but the boat is hard to control. The boatman constantly adjusted the direction, scattered fish food, and pushed the boat to adjust angles during the shoot. It was quite tiring but he was very skilled and worked well with the photographer 📸Photographer: Highly recommend my photographer, super nice and very experienced. He kept communicating with the boatman about positioning, guided my poses, handed me props, and had great retouching skills! 399 RMB for about 40 minutes 💄Makeup & Hair: Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke, the shop is right by the koi pond inside the scenic area. Clothes are chosen on the second floor, makeup done on the first floor. No appointments, queue on site. Makeup packages are 268 RMB and 468 RMB. I only paid for makeup and hair, which was 168 RMB. Makeup took about 1 hour 💃🏻Clothing: I rented separately on Xianyu for 100 RMB. This outfit is called “You Yuan Jing Meng Hong Yu Fei Yan Hanfu,” which matches the koi colors well. Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke also offers this outfit plus makeup package, but it’s a premium option priced at 468 RMB, more expensive than my combination 💰Total photo shoot cost excluding tickets: 100 RMB boat + 50 RMB boatman + 399 RMB photographer + 168 RMB makeup & hair + 100 RMB clothing = 817 RMB 💡Camera Positions: 1️⃣Most photos were taken by the photographer standing on the wooden bridge by the pond. The boat is rowed close to the bridge, and a regular camera shooting downward can achieve a drone-like effect. This position is good for overhead shots (photos 1-3) 2️⃣Some photos were taken by the photographer standing on the shore next to the bridge, suitable for close-ups and seated poses (photos 5, 6, 7, 8) 3️⃣Photo 4 was taken by the photographer standing on the shore opposite the tower. The boat needs to be rowed to the far side of the pond, with the tower as the background Photo Poses: lying down, sitting, leaning forward pretending to feed fish 📌Tips: 1️⃣During the shoot, stay at the front of the boat and as close to the edge as possible. Leaning out looks better but be careful not to fall into the water 2️⃣Clothes will inevitably get wet during the shoot, which can be very cold. Keep warm and bring a thick jacket 3️⃣The best time for shooting is at dusk when the water surface is not reflective, the fish are clear, and you can capture both daytime and night scenes

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

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere. This is Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the soul of the town—Queen Street—is definitely the pinnacle of short trips in Canada! Compared to the repetitive popular check-in spots in Canada, Queen Street focuses on an authentic vintage atmosphere and is also a local secret vacation treasure. Whether it's a couple's honeymoon, a trip with girlfriends, or a solo healing journey, this street can fulfill all your fantasies of a European small town. Once you visit, you'll be completely captivated ❤️ 📍 Overview Niagara-on-the-Lake is located on the banks of the Niagara River, adjacent to Niagara Falls, 1.5 hours by car from Toronto, and 40 minutes from Buffalo, New York. The entire town was once a century-old colonial stronghold. Queen Street, as the town's main artery, is only 1.2 kilometers long. The street isn't very long, but every inch of scenery is worth slowing down to savor. The whole street is dominated by Victorian vintage architecture, with neatly arranged colorful detached houses and vintage villas on both sides. The street is surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, with cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, and maple leaves in autumn, each season offering its own charm. Unlike the fast-food style commercialization of popular Canadian commercial streets, the shop density here is moderate, with no noisy tourist groups, quiet and relaxed, perfectly suited for a slow-paced trip. 🌟 Must-visit core check-in spots 1. Vintage Colorful Building Cluster [Top Photo Spot] The buildings along Queen Street span the 18th to 19th centuries, with detached houses in cream white, mint green, caramel brown, and creamy yellow scattered about.

Century-old Theatre & Street Art Queen Street is home to Canada's long-established Shaw Festival Theatre, which has a history of over a century and stages plays, musicals, and stage dramas all year round. Compared to expensive theatre tickets in big cities, prices here are affordable (80-150 CAD per person), allowing an immersive experience of Western art and culture with a fully charged atmosphere. In addition, street performers are everywhere along the street, including violin solos, oil painting sketching, and vintage magic shows.

Sitting in the outdoor dining area at dusk, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Niagara River. The romance level is maxed out, perfect for couples. 📝 Comprehensive Travel Tips Best Travel Time From May to October every year! Flowers bloom in May and June with mild weather; September and October bring golden autumn with red and yellow maple leaves, doubling the vintage atmosphere—best time for photos; July and August are peak tourist seasons with more visitors. Transportation Guide ✅ Self-driving: 1.5 hours from downtown Toronto, plenty of free roadside parking, most convenient for self-driving; ✅ Public transport: Direct bus from Toronto to the town, walkable to explore Queen Street upon arrival; ✅ Combined trips: After visiting Queen Street, a 15-minute drive takes you to Niagara Falls, perfect for a one-day dual itinerary.

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

#arrivalguide Visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time is an unforgettable experience, and a little planning makes the trip much smoother. I entered through the South Rim, which is the most popular area and offers easy access to scenic viewpoints, visitor services, and walking trails. Arrive early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic, find parking more easily, and enjoy cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather can become hot and dry, especially in summer. Keep your camera ready because the canyon views change beautifully throughout the day. Follow all safety signs and stay behind railings where provided, as the canyon edges can be dangerous. Spend time at several viewpoints instead of rushing through just one stop. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the canyon is an experience you won't forget and makes the visit even more rewarding. #arrivalguide #grandcanyonnationalpark #arizona #usa #nationalparks

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

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 🫪.

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

Hidden in the mountains and forests of Qingyuan, the poetic guesthouse Xiyang Yishanjing offers a perfect escape from the city noise with your kids, where you can breathe fresh air and feel truly healed! 📍 Location and Environment: The guesthouse is nestled among green mountains. On the drive in, you are surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams, with the scent of grass and wood in the air. As soon as the kids got in the car, they said, "Mom, the air smells so good!" After getting off, the quaint and elegant white walls and black tiles of the guesthouse come into view, perfectly blending with the natural scenery. The kids couldn’t help but pull me to take photos~ 🏠 Room Setup: We booked a mountain view room, and opening the window reveals endless greenery. The first thing the kids do every morning is open the window to look at the mountains~ The room is simply and warmly decorated, with wooden furniture emitting a faint woody fragrance. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the kids slept very well, feeling refreshed the next day~ The bathroom is clean and tidy, thoughtfully equipped with disposable children’s toothbrushes, slippers, and bath towels, plus free children’s drinks (juice, milk). The attention to detail is impressive~ The biggest surprise was the small balcony with a cozy table and chairs, where we sat with the kids to brew tea and watch the distant mountains, making time feel like it slowed down~ 🍱 Dining Experience: The guesthouse’s food is very special, so no worries about picky eaters! Breakfast features local traditional dishes: light noodles, fresh vegetables, cut fruit, and refreshing pickles, each tasting like home. The kids ate heartily~ They also prepared a visually appealing and delicious afternoon tea, with low-sugar mini cakes and fresh juicy fruit. Sitting in the courtyard with the kids, basking in the sun and chatting, was super relaxing~ 🛎 Service Quality: The staff are extremely warm and friendly, from reception to the cleaning aunties, all wearing sincere smiles~ During check-in, they gave a detailed introduction to the guesthouse facilities and nearby family-friendly attractions. They especially mentioned that the guesthouse uses local mountain spring water with a dedicated filtration system, making it very safe for kids to drink~ When walking around the guesthouse with the kids, the staff would proactively greet them and share fun little stories about the mountains, very kind and approachable~ 💡 Nearby Activities: The area around the guesthouse is perfect for kids! There is a clear shallow stream nearby where kids can splash in the water, pick up small stones, and play with water guns, keeping them entertained all afternoon. Walking along the stream path, you can also see cute little insects (butterflies, beetles) and beautiful wildflowers, a great chance to teach kids about nature~ Not far away is a small village with distinctive white walls and black tiles, perfect for photo ops with the kids~ Overall, this stay at Xiyang Yishanjing guesthouse was fantastic! Like a hidden paradise in the mountains, it lets kids get close to nature and parents relax. Highly recommended~ 📌 Accommodation Tips: Nearby recommended stays — Qingyuan Xiyang Yishanjing Guesthouse (top choice for poetic family stays with a strong natural atmosphere), Qingyuan Huangteng Gorge family guesthouse (great for kids to enjoy thrilling and fun rafting).

📍Location: Ge Xian Village Resort, Shangrao, Jiangxi, Taixu Huanjing Boat Dock 🎫Tickets: 130 RMB, the ticket includes the Thousand Lantern Festival, various intangible cultural heritage performances, and interactive mini-games within the scenic area 🛶Boat Ticket: 100 RMB for half an hour, includes a pack of fish food. Some online sources mentioned a 20 RMB half-hour ticket, but when I went to the dock, I only saw boats starting at 100 RMB, with clear posted pricing rules and no cheaper options 👷🏻‍♂️Rowing: I paid an extra 50 RMB to have a dock staff row the boat for me. It’s a pedal boat, so the total cost was 50 + 100 = 150 RMB. You can also ask a companion to row, but the boat is hard to control. The boatman constantly adjusted the direction, scattered fish food, and pushed the boat to adjust angles during the shoot. It was quite tiring but he was very skilled and worked well with the photographer 📸Photographer: Highly recommend my photographer, super nice and very experienced. He kept communicating with the boatman about positioning, guided my poses, handed me props, and had great retouching skills! 399 RMB for about 40 minutes 💄Makeup & Hair: Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke, the shop is right by the koi pond inside the scenic area. Clothes are chosen on the second floor, makeup done on the first floor. No appointments, queue on site. Makeup packages are 268 RMB and 468 RMB. I only paid for makeup and hair, which was 168 RMB. Makeup took about 1 hour 💃🏻Clothing: I rented separately on Xianyu for 100 RMB. This outfit is called “You Yuan Jing Meng Hong Yu Fei Yan Hanfu,” which matches the koi colors well. Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke also offers this outfit plus makeup package, but it’s a premium option priced at 468 RMB, more expensive than my combination 💰Total photo shoot cost excluding tickets: 100 RMB boat + 50 RMB boatman + 399 RMB photographer + 168 RMB makeup & hair + 100 RMB clothing = 817 RMB 💡Camera Positions: 1️⃣Most photos were taken by the photographer standing on the wooden bridge by the pond. The boat is rowed close to the bridge, and a regular camera shooting downward can achieve a drone-like effect. This position is good for overhead shots (photos 1-3) 2️⃣Some photos were taken by the photographer standing on the shore next to the bridge, suitable for close-ups and seated poses (photos 5, 6, 7, 8) 3️⃣Photo 4 was taken by the photographer standing on the shore opposite the tower. The boat needs to be rowed to the far side of the pond, with the tower as the background Photo Poses: lying down, sitting, leaning forward pretending to feed fish 📌Tips: 1️⃣During the shoot, stay at the front of the boat and as close to the edge as possible. Leaning out looks better but be careful not to fall into the water 2️⃣Clothes will inevitably get wet during the shoot, which can be very cold. Keep warm and bring a thick jacket 3️⃣The best time for shooting is at dusk when the water surface is not reflective, the fish are clear, and you can capture both daytime and night scenes

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

Who would have thought! Hidden in Canada is a small town favored by time 🌿, avoiding the crowded crowds of Toronto and Vancouver. Here, there is no commercial hustle and bustle, only European vintage style everywhere. This is Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the soul of the town—Queen Street—is definitely the pinnacle of short trips in Canada! Compared to the repetitive popular check-in spots in Canada, Queen Street focuses on an authentic vintage atmosphere and is also a local secret vacation treasure. Whether it's a couple's honeymoon, a trip with girlfriends, or a solo healing journey, this street can fulfill all your fantasies of a European small town. Once you visit, you'll be completely captivated ❤️ 📍 Overview Niagara-on-the-Lake is located on the banks of the Niagara River, adjacent to Niagara Falls, 1.5 hours by car from Toronto, and 40 minutes from Buffalo, New York. The entire town was once a century-old colonial stronghold. Queen Street, as the town's main artery, is only 1.2 kilometers long. The street isn't very long, but every inch of scenery is worth slowing down to savor. The whole street is dominated by Victorian vintage architecture, with neatly arranged colorful detached houses and vintage villas on both sides. The street is surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, with cherry blossoms in spring, roses in summer, and maple leaves in autumn, each season offering its own charm. Unlike the fast-food style commercialization of popular Canadian commercial streets, the shop density here is moderate, with no noisy tourist groups, quiet and relaxed, perfectly suited for a slow-paced trip. 🌟 Must-visit core check-in spots 1. Vintage Colorful Building Cluster [Top Photo Spot] The buildings along Queen Street span the 18th to 19th centuries, with detached houses in cream white, mint green, caramel brown, and creamy yellow scattered about.

Century-old Theatre & Street Art Queen Street is home to Canada's long-established Shaw Festival Theatre, which has a history of over a century and stages plays, musicals, and stage dramas all year round. Compared to expensive theatre tickets in big cities, prices here are affordable (80-150 CAD per person), allowing an immersive experience of Western art and culture with a fully charged atmosphere. In addition, street performers are everywhere along the street, including violin solos, oil painting sketching, and vintage magic shows.

Sitting in the outdoor dining area at dusk, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset over the Niagara River. The romance level is maxed out, perfect for couples. 📝 Comprehensive Travel Tips Best Travel Time From May to October every year! Flowers bloom in May and June with mild weather; September and October bring golden autumn with red and yellow maple leaves, doubling the vintage atmosphere—best time for photos; July and August are peak tourist seasons with more visitors. Transportation Guide ✅ Self-driving: 1.5 hours from downtown Toronto, plenty of free roadside parking, most convenient for self-driving; ✅ Public transport: Direct bus from Toronto to the town, walkable to explore Queen Street upon arrival; ✅ Combined trips: After visiting Queen Street, a 15-minute drive takes you to Niagara Falls, perfect for a one-day dual itinerary.

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

#arrivalguide Visiting Grand Canyon National Park for the first time is an unforgettable experience, and a little planning makes the trip much smoother. I entered through the South Rim, which is the most popular area and offers easy access to scenic viewpoints, visitor services, and walking trails. Arrive early in the morning to avoid heavy traffic, find parking more easily, and enjoy cooler temperatures. Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, and a hat, as the weather can become hot and dry, especially in summer. Keep your camera ready because the canyon views change beautifully throughout the day. Follow all safety signs and stay behind railings where provided, as the canyon edges can be dangerous. Spend time at several viewpoints instead of rushing through just one stop. Watching the sunrise or sunset over the canyon is an experience you won't forget and makes the visit even more rewarding. #arrivalguide #grandcanyonnationalpark #arizona #usa #nationalparks

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

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 🫪.

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

On the drive in, you are surrounded by lush trees and babbling streams, with the scent of grass and wood in the air. As soon as the kids got in the car, they said, "Mom, the air smells so good!" After getting off, the quaint and elegant white walls and black tiles of the guesthouse come into view, perfectly blending with the natural scenery. The kids couldn’t help but pull me to take photos~ 🏠 Room Setup: We booked a mountain view room, and opening the window reveals endless greenery. The first thing the kids do every morning is open the window to look at the mountains~ The room is simply and warmly decorated, with wooden furniture emitting a faint woody fragrance. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the kids slept very well, feeling refreshed the next day~ The bathroom is clean and tidy, thoughtfully equipped with disposable children’s toothbrushes, slippers, and bath towels, plus free children’s drinks (juice, milk). The attention to detail is impressive~ The biggest surprise was the small balcony with a cozy table and chairs, where we sat with the kids to brew tea and watch the distant mountains, making time feel like it slowed down~ 🍱 Dining Experience: The guesthouse’s food is very special, so no worries about picky eaters! Breakfast features local traditional dishes: light noodles, fresh vegetables, cut fruit, and refreshing pickles, each tasting like home.

📍Location: Ge Xian Village Resort, Shangrao, Jiangxi, Taixu Huanjing Boat Dock 🎫Tickets: 130 RMB, the ticket includes the Thousand Lantern Festival, various intangible cultural heritage performances, and interactive mini-games within the scenic area 🛶Boat Ticket: 100 RMB for half an hour, includes a pack of fish food. Some online sources mentioned a 20 RMB half-hour ticket, but when I went to the dock, I only saw boats starting at 100 RMB, with clear posted pricing rules and no cheaper options 👷🏻‍♂️Rowing: I paid an extra 50 RMB to have a dock staff row the boat for me. It’s a pedal boat, so the total cost was 50 + 100 = 150 RMB. You can also ask a companion to row, but the boat is hard to control. The boatman constantly adjusted the direction, scattered fish food, and pushed the boat to adjust angles during the shoot. It was quite tiring but he was very skilled and worked well with the photographer 📸Photographer: Highly recommend my photographer, super nice and very experienced. He kept communicating with the boatman about positioning, guided my poses, handed me props, and had great retouching skills! 399 RMB for about 40 minutes 💄Makeup & Hair: Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke, the shop is right by the koi pond inside the scenic area. Clothes are chosen on the second floor, makeup done on the first floor. No appointments, queue on site. Makeup packages are 268 RMB and 468 RMB. I only paid for makeup and hair, which was 168 RMB. Makeup took about 1 hour 💃🏻Clothing: I rented separately on Xianyu for 100 RMB. This outfit is called “You Yuan Jing Meng Hong Yu Fei Yan Hanfu,” which matches the koi colors well. Qing Shan Yan Yu Ke also offers this outfit plus makeup package, but it’s a premium option priced at 468 RMB, more expensive than my combination 💰Total photo shoot cost excluding tickets: 100 RMB boat + 50 RMB boatman + 399 RMB photographer + 168 RMB makeup & hair + 100 RMB clothing = 817 RMB 💡Camera Positions: 1️⃣Most photos were taken by the photographer standing on the wooden bridge by the pond. The boat is rowed close to the bridge, and a regular camera shooting downward can achieve a drone-like effect. This position is good for overhead shots (photos 1-3) 2️⃣Some photos were taken by the photographer standing on the shore next to the bridge, suitable for close-ups and seated poses (photos 5, 6, 7, 8) 3️⃣Photo 4 was taken by the photographer standing on the shore opposite the tower. The boat needs to be rowed to the far side of the pond, with the tower as the background Photo Poses: lying down, sitting, leaning forward pretending to feed fish 📌Tips: 1️⃣During the shoot, stay at the front of the boat and as close to the edge as possible. Leaning out looks better but be careful not to fall into the water 2️⃣Clothes will inevitably get wet during the shoot, which can be very cold. Keep warm and bring a thick jacket 3️⃣The best time for shooting is at dusk when the water surface is not reflective, the fish are clear, and you can capture both daytime and night scenes
