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 🫪.

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. 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. Window seats face the vintage street scene, perfect for coffee and sunbathing, unlocking the European slow life. Average cost 25 CAD per person; 2. Ice Cream Cafe A century-old handmade ice cream shop with more than ten fruit flavors, all made with local milk and fresh fruit. Highly recommend the ice wine flavor, a Niagara exclusive, sweet and refreshing with no artificial flavoring; 3. Riverside Western Restaurant Specializes in Western-style steak and seafood platters. 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. Duration & Expenses Duration: 3-5 hours, half-day recommended, sunset views in the evening are the most beautiful; Expenses: Overall lower than downtown Toronto, dining averages 30-60 CAD per person, souvenirs average 10-50 CAD, offering much better value than popular tourist towns. Avoid Pitfalls 1. Most niche shops close by 6:00 PM, don’t go too late; 2. During peak season, occasional street vendors sell overpriced souvenirs, not recommended to buy; 3.

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.”

💎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

Explore Petra! The complete hiking guide to the New Seven Wonders of the World 🏜️ The Rose City traverses millennia of civilization! 🌹 Stunning moment! When the narrow Siq Canyon opens and the Treasury suddenly appears, tears almost welled up! No wonder it was a filming location for "Indiana Jones," the New Seven Wonders of the World truly lives up to its name~ ⏰ Suggested duration: At least a full day! I walked from 7 AM to 5 PM, took 30,000 steps and still felt there was more to see! 🚶‍♀️ Must-do routes: 1️⃣ Siq Canyon A 1.2 km long serpentine canyon with towering cliffs over 100 meters high on both sides! Remember to look up for the ancient water system and camel caravan carvings. 📸 Hidden spot: In the middle of the canyon, there is a natural heart-shaped rock (look on the right cliff wall). 2️⃣ The Treasury A Roman-style temple that suddenly appears at the end of the canyon! The best photo time is between 9-10 AM when sunlight shines on the rose-colored rock walls, creating stunning views. 💡 Insider tip: Locals say the second floor of the Treasury hides Pharaoh’s treasure (though you can’t enter, haha). 3️⃣ Royal Tombs Climb 800 steps to the King’s tomb and overlook the entire ancient city! If your stamina is average, you can pay to ride a donkey (remember to bargain). 4️⃣ The Monastery The toughest climb of the trip! You need to climb 1,820 steps, but the view from the top is definitely worth the ticket price. 🍵 Rest stop: Halfway up, there’s a Bedouin tea shop where you can enjoy mint tea and an unbeatable view for just 1 dinar. 🌙 Night tour bonus: Every Wednesday and Thursday night is Petra by Night! 1,800 candles are lit in front of the Treasury (tickets sold separately). ⚠️ Practical tips: · Wear comfortable hiking shoes! The paths are all gravel and steps. · Bring enough water and snacks; there are very few supply stations inside the park. · Solo female travelers are advised to hire a local guide (about 20 dinars). · Bargaining rule: Start by cutting the price in half, then slowly increase. 📸 Best photo spots: 1️⃣ The high platform to the right of the Treasury (tip the Bedouin guide to lead you). 2️⃣ The arch frame composition at the top of the Monastery. 🐪 Unique experience: Spend 5 dinars to ride a camel to the front of the Treasury! Remember to have your companion take epic side shots of you walking.

I'm Aqin, a professional photographer, and also a travel blogger with millions of followers who has been to 26 countries (on a certain platform). 2017 was my first time visiting Thoddoo Island. Back then, the beaches of Thoddoo were still undeveloped. I remember when I emerged from a wild coconut grove, the scene suddenly lit up before my eyes. Oh my god! A whole stretch of Tiffany blue lagoon was spread out right in front of me. It turned out that the Maldives I had imagined looked just like this place~ Its beauty shouldn’t be confined to just my camera lens. I want to share this treasure island with everyone. Some say the prices in the Maldives need to be lowered. I want to say, the Maldives itself isn’t expensive. Spending a week on Thoddoo Island can be done for just a few thousand yuan per person. If you come in the off-season and just lie on the beach every day without going out to sea, splitting hotel costs between two people, honestly, you won’t even spend 3,000 yuan in a week. This is the real cost of living on a Maldives local island. I have witnessed it with my own eyes: paradise doesn’t have to be expensive. I have been to more local islands than most local workers. I know which island has the most beautiful trailing sand beaches, which coral reef has the most fish for snorkeling, which island’s lagoon looks the best, and which island still preserves authentic local culture. Every island has its own strengths and weaknesses. When I see the very popular Maafushi and Fulidhoo on social media, I feel that Thoddoo Island should not be overlooked. I want more people to see what’s here. If you want to learn more about this island’s travel tips, I will keep updating more travel advice. Photos 1-2-4-5-6-10 show the scenery of Thoddoo Island itself. Photos 3-7-8-9 show the trailing sand beaches near Thoddoo Island.

Na Bua Villa Chiangrai is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, a route connecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, making it possible to explore both provinces in one trip. This resort was created with the intention of bringing people back to experience the memories of traditional Thai ways of life. The connection between rice fields, lotus ponds, and a simple lifestyle inspired the creation of this resort. Guests can stay amidst true nature, enjoying peace, tranquility, and relaxation. It's perfect for those looking to escape the chaos and reconnect with the warmth of nature in a traditional Thai setting. The resort features a wooden bridge extending into the rice fields, giving a feeling akin to being in a 'Maldives of the rice fields.' Each villa is circular in shape, with interiors designed in a simple style that incorporates local woven crafts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Breakfast is included and consists of simple yet delightful sets such as rice porridge, pan-fried eggs, bread with pandan custard, fresh avocado, along with fruit juice and fresh milk. Every dish is delicious, and enjoying it in the cool morning air is truly delightful. For dinner, I entrusted my meal to the resort, which served a set of local dishes. The sunset here is stunning, with a romantic atmosphere.

After visiting NYC around ten times, I finally made it to the Museum at Eldridge Street on my most recent trip—and I truly wish I had discovered it sooner. Conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, near Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge entrance, and several downtown attractions, it’s easy to fit into your plans while exploring the area. While there’s typically an admission fee, booking a solo visit online can grant free entry, and I highly recommend doing so. I arrived early, right after it opened, and practically had the whole place to myself. The visit only takes about 15–20 minutes, but the interior is stunning. It’s beautifully preserved, peaceful, and has so much character. Watching the morning light filter through the exquisite stained-glass windows was one of my favorite experiences. Though small, this museum is truly something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

For Christmas 2024, I once again traveled with my church to Dallas, Texas, to attend a global conference. This marked my second visit to this city. During my first trip, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to explore. This time, I promised myself to carve out some moments to truly experience the pulse of Dallas. The hotel was near the airport, and the roar of planes was a constant backdrop. One morning, I took a cab to the city center. As we drove, the cityscape gradually unfolded: orderly skyscrapers, slightly desolate street corners, and clusters of homeless individuals huddled on sidewalks, starkly contrasting with the hurried tourists nearby. To my surprise, I encountered quite a few Chinese faces on the streets, adding a touch of familiarity to this foreign city. Dallas didn’t leave a stunning first impression, but it carried a raw authenticity. The city wasn’t overly polished, yet it had a candid charm of its own. My first stop was the famous "Eye of Dallas," a glass sphere-like structure suspended in the sky, resembling an eye overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the city bathed in the golden hues of sunset, and the cold steel and concrete seemed to soften under the warm light. Next, I visited the "Hall of Thanksgiving," a place that pleasantly surprised me. The hall featured a towering stained-glass wall that seemed to fragment the sky into countless colorful pieces. Sunlight streamed through the interwoven blue, red, gold, and green glass, casting vibrant patterns on the floor and benches, as if God had accidentally spilled His paint. I sat quietly, enveloped in silence, with only the light in motion. The shifting shadows and colors, as time passed, transformed an ordinary afternoon into a solemn yet tender performance. This place bore no specific religious symbols and required no elaborate rituals. It felt more like a sanctuary for the weary soul. As I gazed up at the kaleidoscope of colors, an indescribable feeling welled up within me: the outside world might be noisy, harsh, and even cruel, but at this moment, I felt genuinely embraced by a gentle warmth. The light seemed to remind me—no matter how exhausting life gets, there’s always a place where one can pause, take a deep breath, and then move forward again. Of course, a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without barbecue. I made my way to Hutchins, hailed as the "pinnacle of Dallas BBQ." The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the aroma of grilled meat. The brisket was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful—each bite a smoky, fiery delight. But... the plate was all meat, meat, and more meat! By the end, I couldn’t help but groan internally, "It’s delicious, but I’m drowning in meat!" 😤 This brief city excursion didn’t feature grand spectacles or thrilling adventures, but it pieced together a genuine portrait of Dallas: a mix of ruggedness and warmth, boldness and comfort. As night fell, I returned to my hotel near the airport, feeling that this visit to Dallas had brought me closer to the city than the last.

📍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.

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

Beiji Island: A secluded maritime paradise, Zhejiang’s last pure fishing village 【Preface】 In the vast East China Sea southeast of Zhejiang, there is a small island forgotten by time—Beiji Island. It lacks the fame of Nanji Island and the artistic vibe of Dongji Island, but precisely because of this, it preserves the most original fishing village charm. Here, there is no overdevelopment, no bustling tourists, only blue sea and sky, rustic stone houses, simple fishermen, and the purest island life between the tides. If you are tired of crowded trendy spots and want to find a place to truly unwind, Beiji Island might be the answer. 【How to Get There?】 📍 Location: Southeast sea area of Rui’an, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 38 nautical miles from the mainland 🚢 Transportation: Rui’an South Gate Pier → Beiji Island (one trip daily, about 2.5 hours) Ticket: 130 RMB one way per person (advance booking recommended) Departure time: 9:00 AM (subject to pier announcement) Self-driving: Navigate to Rui’an South Gate Pier, parking available nearby ⚠️ Tips: Boat schedules are highly weather-dependent; check weather forecasts in advance No cars on the island; mainly walking or renting electric scooters (about 50 RMB/day) 【Must-Do on the Island】 1. Stroll through Beiji Fishing Village and feel the traces of frozen time The heart of Beiji Island is Beiji Fishing Village, where most houses are built of stone, nestled on the hillside in a staggered layout. In the early morning, fishermen return from the sea, and the lively fish trading scene at the pier makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back decades into fishing village life. 📸 Recommended photo spots: Lighthouse Road: The stone path leading to Beiji Lighthouse, flanked by stone houses and wildflowers, perfect for artistic shots Fishing Harbor Pier: Fishing boats returning at sunrise, with interplay of light and shadow, full of life atmosphere 2. Climb Beiji Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the East China Sea Beiji Lighthouse is the island’s highest point and one of the easternmost lighthouses in the East China Sea. From the top, you can enjoy a 360° unobstructed sea view, and on clear days, even see distant Nanji Island. 🌅 Best viewing time: sunrise or sunset 3. Discover the “Blue Tears” phenomenon (summer only) From May to August each year, the coastline of Beiji Island occasionally shows the “Blue Tears” (a bioluminescent plankton). At night, when waves hit the shore, the glowing blue light flickers like stars falling into the sea. 📍 Best viewing spot: Guoshu Yu Beach (check tide times with local fishermen in advance) 4. Tide pooling and fishing—be a fisherman for a day Beiji Island’s marine life is abundant. At low tide, you can dig for oysters, sea snails, and crabs on the rocky shore. If you like fishing, you can rent a small boat to go out to sea and experience real fisherman life. 🎣 Recommended experiences: Tide pooling (bring your own tools and gloves) Night squid fishing (summer special, super fun!) 5. Enjoy an authentic seafood feast The island’s seafood is freshly caught and cooked, affordable and delicious. Recommended dishes: Steamed wild yellow croaker (tender meat that melts in your mouth) Scallion oil razor clams (plump and juicy, local specialty) Seaweed and dried shrimp soup (Beiji seaweed is famous far and wide) 🍽️ Recommended restaurants: Fisherman’s Family Food Stall (near the pier, great value) Grandma’s Seafood Noodles (30-year-old shop, broth is incredibly flavorful) 【Accommodation Recommendations】 🏠 1. Beiji Island Homestays (converted fishing village stone houses, 150-300 RMB per person) Recommended: “Listen to the Sea” Homestay (facing the sea, terrace with sunrise view) Feature: Stone houses are warm in winter and cool in summer, with the sound of waves at night ⛺ 2. Camping (best in summer) Guoshu Yu Beach allows tent camping, but confirm tide safety in advance 【Suggested Itinerary】 ✅ Classic 2 days 1 night trip Day 1: Morning arrival → fishing village stroll → lighthouse sunset → night fishing/tide pooling Day 2: Early sunrise → beach shell collecting → seafood lunch → afternoon return ✅ In-depth 3 days 2 nights trip Add island hiking, visit uninhabited islets (like Xiadao Island), experience fishing family life, etc. 【Notes】 Limited supplies on the island; bring snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent Weak network signal, some areas only 2G, perfect for a “digital detox” Travel eco-friendly; please carry out your trash to protect this pristine sea area 【Final Words】 The beauty of Beiji Island lies in its originality and tranquility. There is no commercial hustle, only the truest island life. If you yearn for a slow life “facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming,” come here and be an islander cut off from the world for a few days. 🌊 “The sea breeze travels eight thousand miles; the place it comes from is home.” Beiji Island is worth your stay.

While others chase skyscrapers in Dubai, I prefer to delve into the folds of the desert; while others lie on the beaches in the Maldives, I dive into the deep sea to dance with schools of fish—this journey spanning two landscapes is full of unexpected surprises. In Dubai, I gave up queuing to check in at the Burj Khalifa and instead teamed up with a local guide to rush into the uninhabited area of the Liwa Desert. At sunset, instead of gathering around a campfire, I lay on the sand dunes watching the Milky Way spread across the sky. The wind blows the sand into flowing golden waves, and the occasional sound of camel bells in the distance is more beautiful than any city night view. I skipped the spice market in the old town and instead lingered in a niche café beside Al Fahidi Fort, watching an elderly man in a white robe brew coffee with a traditional copper pot. The bitterness mixed with the aroma of cardamom, as he told stories of Dubai’s transformation from a small fishing village to a metropolis. The coffee stains spreading on the paper coaster were the shapes of time. The most unexpected moment was at the pier near Jumeirah Beach, where I followed fishermen on a small wooden boat to fish, pulling up nets full of snapper with my own hands. Returning to shore at dusk, the restaurant cooked the catch fresh. The salty freshness of the sea mixed with the lemon’s fragrance gave a satisfaction that no hotel feast could match. Flying to the Maldives, I skipped the overcrowded popular islands and chose a niche atoll with only three overwater bungalows. There was no infinity pool for social media check-ins, but a private walkway led to the deep sea. Early in the morning, I fed fish with breadcrumbs, surrounded by thousands of colorful parrotfish around my ankles. Sunlight penetrated the water, turning the sea into scattered diamonds. In the afternoon, instead of lying on a beach chair, I rented a glass-bottom boat to drift over an uninhabited coral reef, watching small sharks swim among pink corals and giant sea turtles resting on the reef rocks, as if stepping into an underwater fairy tale. The most romantic moment at night wasn’t a beach dinner but pitching a tent on the terrace of the overwater bungalow, listening to the rhythm of waves hitting the shore. Looking up, the Milky Way shone without light pollution, and occasional shooting stars connected the deep sea and night sky into a galaxy. This journey had no checklist, only surprises encountered at will. The desert in Dubai taught me to feel the tenderness within ruggedness, and the deep sea in the Maldives helped me understand the passion within tranquility. The collision of these two beauties created a special twin-city memory.

On my first day in Namibia, I was stunned— The beauty here isn’t lively; it’s a sophisticated kind of solitude. · — Namib Desert Standing atop the world’s tallest red sand dunes, The wind shapes the sand into flowing lines. I suddenly realized: Nature can be a “minimalist” too. · Death Valley Black dead trees, white salt pans, orange dunes. No filters needed for photos here, Every spot looks like stepping into an art exhibition. That silence makes you lose track of time. · Desert meets the sea As the plane flew over the dunes, I saw where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean— Red waves and blue waves rolling together. At that moment, I held my breath. This isn’t just a view; it’s a miracle. · Etosha National Park The animals here aren’t just for show, They are truly “living.” Zebras line up crossing the road, Giraffes slowly emerge from the morning mist, Elephants drink water right in front of your car. This is what animals really look like. · — Why do I recommend Namibia? ✔ No worries about “overcrowded attractions” ✔ Every place feels like a sci-fi movie set ✔ Perfect for ultra-wide, minimalist, color-block photography ✔ The journey is wild, but emotionally healing · It’s not popular, it’s limited edition. Not soft, but stunningly beautiful. · — If you’re looking for a place to “escape the world” recently—come to Namibia. Here, you’ll rediscover the Earth and yourself.

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 🫪.

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.

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.”

💎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

Explore Petra! The complete hiking guide to the New Seven Wonders of the World 🏜️ The Rose City traverses millennia of civilization! 🌹 Stunning moment! When the narrow Siq Canyon opens and the Treasury suddenly appears, tears almost welled up! No wonder it was a filming location for "Indiana Jones," the New Seven Wonders of the World truly lives up to its name~ ⏰ Suggested duration: At least a full day! I walked from 7 AM to 5 PM, took 30,000 steps and still felt there was more to see! 🚶‍♀️ Must-do routes: 1️⃣ Siq Canyon A 1.2 km long serpentine canyon with towering cliffs over 100 meters high on both sides! Remember to look up for the ancient water system and camel caravan carvings. 📸 Hidden spot: In the middle of the canyon, there is a natural heart-shaped rock (look on the right cliff wall). 2️⃣ The Treasury A Roman-style temple that suddenly appears at the end of the canyon! The best photo time is between 9-10 AM when sunlight shines on the rose-colored rock walls, creating stunning views. 💡 Insider tip: Locals say the second floor of the Treasury hides Pharaoh’s treasure (though you can’t enter, haha). 3️⃣ Royal Tombs Climb 800 steps to the King’s tomb and overlook the entire ancient city! If your stamina is average, you can pay to ride a donkey (remember to bargain). 4️⃣ The Monastery The toughest climb of the trip! You need to climb 1,820 steps, but the view from the top is definitely worth the ticket price. 🍵 Rest stop: Halfway up, there’s a Bedouin tea shop where you can enjoy mint tea and an unbeatable view for just 1 dinar. 🌙 Night tour bonus: Every Wednesday and Thursday night is Petra by Night! 1,800 candles are lit in front of the Treasury (tickets sold separately). ⚠️ Practical tips: · Wear comfortable hiking shoes! The paths are all gravel and steps. · Bring enough water and snacks; there are very few supply stations inside the park. · Solo female travelers are advised to hire a local guide (about 20 dinars). · Bargaining rule: Start by cutting the price in half, then slowly increase. 📸 Best photo spots: 1️⃣ The high platform to the right of the Treasury (tip the Bedouin guide to lead you). 2️⃣ The arch frame composition at the top of the Monastery. 🐪 Unique experience: Spend 5 dinars to ride a camel to the front of the Treasury! Remember to have your companion take epic side shots of you walking.

I'm Aqin, a professional photographer, and also a travel blogger with millions of followers who has been to 26 countries (on a certain platform). 2017 was my first time visiting Thoddoo Island. Back then, the beaches of Thoddoo were still undeveloped. I remember when I emerged from a wild coconut grove, the scene suddenly lit up before my eyes. Oh my god! A whole stretch of Tiffany blue lagoon was spread out right in front of me. It turned out that the Maldives I had imagined looked just like this place~ Its beauty shouldn’t be confined to just my camera lens. I want to share this treasure island with everyone. Some say the prices in the Maldives need to be lowered. I want to say, the Maldives itself isn’t expensive. Spending a week on Thoddoo Island can be done for just a few thousand yuan per person. If you come in the off-season and just lie on the beach every day without going out to sea, splitting hotel costs between two people, honestly, you won’t even spend 3,000 yuan in a week. This is the real cost of living on a Maldives local island. I have witnessed it with my own eyes: paradise doesn’t have to be expensive. I have been to more local islands than most local workers. I know which island has the most beautiful trailing sand beaches, which coral reef has the most fish for snorkeling, which island’s lagoon looks the best, and which island still preserves authentic local culture. Every island has its own strengths and weaknesses. When I see the very popular Maafushi and Fulidhoo on social media, I feel that Thoddoo Island should not be overlooked. I want more people to see what’s here. If you want to learn more about this island’s travel tips, I will keep updating more travel advice. Photos 1-2-4-5-6-10 show the scenery of Thoddoo Island itself. Photos 3-7-8-9 show the trailing sand beaches near Thoddoo Island.

Na Bua Villa Chiangrai is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, a route connecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, making it possible to explore both provinces in one trip. This resort was created with the intention of bringing people back to experience the memories of traditional Thai ways of life. The connection between rice fields, lotus ponds, and a simple lifestyle inspired the creation of this resort. Guests can stay amidst true nature, enjoying peace, tranquility, and relaxation. It's perfect for those looking to escape the chaos and reconnect with the warmth of nature in a traditional Thai setting. The resort features a wooden bridge extending into the rice fields, giving a feeling akin to being in a 'Maldives of the rice fields.' Each villa is circular in shape, with interiors designed in a simple style that incorporates local woven crafts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Breakfast is included and consists of simple yet delightful sets such as rice porridge, pan-fried eggs, bread with pandan custard, fresh avocado, along with fruit juice and fresh milk. Every dish is delicious, and enjoying it in the cool morning air is truly delightful. For dinner, I entrusted my meal to the resort, which served a set of local dishes. The sunset here is stunning, with a romantic atmosphere.

After visiting NYC around ten times, I finally made it to the Museum at Eldridge Street on my most recent trip—and I truly wish I had discovered it sooner. Conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, near Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge entrance, and several downtown attractions, it’s easy to fit into your plans while exploring the area. While there’s typically an admission fee, booking a solo visit online can grant free entry, and I highly recommend doing so. I arrived early, right after it opened, and practically had the whole place to myself. The visit only takes about 15–20 minutes, but the interior is stunning. It’s beautifully preserved, peaceful, and has so much character. Watching the morning light filter through the exquisite stained-glass windows was one of my favorite experiences. Though small, this museum is truly something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

For Christmas 2024, I once again traveled with my church to Dallas, Texas, to attend a global conference. This marked my second visit to this city. During my first trip, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to explore. This time, I promised myself to carve out some moments to truly experience the pulse of Dallas. The hotel was near the airport, and the roar of planes was a constant backdrop. One morning, I took a cab to the city center. As we drove, the cityscape gradually unfolded: orderly skyscrapers, slightly desolate street corners, and clusters of homeless individuals huddled on sidewalks, starkly contrasting with the hurried tourists nearby. To my surprise, I encountered quite a few Chinese faces on the streets, adding a touch of familiarity to this foreign city. Dallas didn’t leave a stunning first impression, but it carried a raw authenticity. The city wasn’t overly polished, yet it had a candid charm of its own. My first stop was the famous "Eye of Dallas," a glass sphere-like structure suspended in the sky, resembling an eye overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the city bathed in the golden hues of sunset, and the cold steel and concrete seemed to soften under the warm light. Next, I visited the "Hall of Thanksgiving," a place that pleasantly surprised me. The hall featured a towering stained-glass wall that seemed to fragment the sky into countless colorful pieces. Sunlight streamed through the interwoven blue, red, gold, and green glass, casting vibrant patterns on the floor and benches, as if God had accidentally spilled His paint. I sat quietly, enveloped in silence, with only the light in motion. The shifting shadows and colors, as time passed, transformed an ordinary afternoon into a solemn yet tender performance. This place bore no specific religious symbols and required no elaborate rituals. It felt more like a sanctuary for the weary soul. As I gazed up at the kaleidoscope of colors, an indescribable feeling welled up within me: the outside world might be noisy, harsh, and even cruel, but at this moment, I felt genuinely embraced by a gentle warmth. The light seemed to remind me—no matter how exhausting life gets, there’s always a place where one can pause, take a deep breath, and then move forward again. Of course, a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without barbecue. I made my way to Hutchins, hailed as the "pinnacle of Dallas BBQ." The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the aroma of grilled meat. The brisket was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful—each bite a smoky, fiery delight. But... the plate was all meat, meat, and more meat! By the end, I couldn’t help but groan internally, "It’s delicious, but I’m drowning in meat!" 😤 This brief city excursion didn’t feature grand spectacles or thrilling adventures, but it pieced together a genuine portrait of Dallas: a mix of ruggedness and warmth, boldness and comfort. As night fell, I returned to my hotel near the airport, feeling that this visit to Dallas had brought me closer to the city than the last.

📍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.

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

Beiji Island: A secluded maritime paradise, Zhejiang’s last pure fishing village 【Preface】 In the vast East China Sea southeast of Zhejiang, there is a small island forgotten by time—Beiji Island. It lacks the fame of Nanji Island and the artistic vibe of Dongji Island, but precisely because of this, it preserves the most original fishing village charm. Here, there is no overdevelopment, no bustling tourists, only blue sea and sky, rustic stone houses, simple fishermen, and the purest island life between the tides. If you are tired of crowded trendy spots and want to find a place to truly unwind, Beiji Island might be the answer. 【How to Get There?】 📍 Location: Southeast sea area of Rui’an, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 38 nautical miles from the mainland 🚢 Transportation: Rui’an South Gate Pier → Beiji Island (one trip daily, about 2.5 hours) Ticket: 130 RMB one way per person (advance booking recommended) Departure time: 9:00 AM (subject to pier announcement) Self-driving: Navigate to Rui’an South Gate Pier, parking available nearby ⚠️ Tips: Boat schedules are highly weather-dependent; check weather forecasts in advance No cars on the island; mainly walking or renting electric scooters (about 50 RMB/day) 【Must-Do on the Island】 1. Stroll through Beiji Fishing Village and feel the traces of frozen time The heart of Beiji Island is Beiji Fishing Village, where most houses are built of stone, nestled on the hillside in a staggered layout. In the early morning, fishermen return from the sea, and the lively fish trading scene at the pier makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back decades into fishing village life. 📸 Recommended photo spots: Lighthouse Road: The stone path leading to Beiji Lighthouse, flanked by stone houses and wildflowers, perfect for artistic shots Fishing Harbor Pier: Fishing boats returning at sunrise, with interplay of light and shadow, full of life atmosphere 2. Climb Beiji Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the East China Sea Beiji Lighthouse is the island’s highest point and one of the easternmost lighthouses in the East China Sea. From the top, you can enjoy a 360° unobstructed sea view, and on clear days, even see distant Nanji Island. 🌅 Best viewing time: sunrise or sunset 3. Discover the “Blue Tears” phenomenon (summer only) From May to August each year, the coastline of Beiji Island occasionally shows the “Blue Tears” (a bioluminescent plankton). At night, when waves hit the shore, the glowing blue light flickers like stars falling into the sea. 📍 Best viewing spot: Guoshu Yu Beach (check tide times with local fishermen in advance) 4. Tide pooling and fishing—be a fisherman for a day Beiji Island’s marine life is abundant. At low tide, you can dig for oysters, sea snails, and crabs on the rocky shore. If you like fishing, you can rent a small boat to go out to sea and experience real fisherman life. 🎣 Recommended experiences: Tide pooling (bring your own tools and gloves) Night squid fishing (summer special, super fun!) 5. Enjoy an authentic seafood feast The island’s seafood is freshly caught and cooked, affordable and delicious. Recommended dishes: Steamed wild yellow croaker (tender meat that melts in your mouth) Scallion oil razor clams (plump and juicy, local specialty) Seaweed and dried shrimp soup (Beiji seaweed is famous far and wide) 🍽️ Recommended restaurants: Fisherman’s Family Food Stall (near the pier, great value) Grandma’s Seafood Noodles (30-year-old shop, broth is incredibly flavorful) 【Accommodation Recommendations】 🏠 1. Beiji Island Homestays (converted fishing village stone houses, 150-300 RMB per person) Recommended: “Listen to the Sea” Homestay (facing the sea, terrace with sunrise view) Feature: Stone houses are warm in winter and cool in summer, with the sound of waves at night ⛺ 2. Camping (best in summer) Guoshu Yu Beach allows tent camping, but confirm tide safety in advance 【Suggested Itinerary】 ✅ Classic 2 days 1 night trip Day 1: Morning arrival → fishing village stroll → lighthouse sunset → night fishing/tide pooling Day 2: Early sunrise → beach shell collecting → seafood lunch → afternoon return ✅ In-depth 3 days 2 nights trip Add island hiking, visit uninhabited islets (like Xiadao Island), experience fishing family life, etc. 【Notes】 Limited supplies on the island; bring snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent Weak network signal, some areas only 2G, perfect for a “digital detox” Travel eco-friendly; please carry out your trash to protect this pristine sea area 【Final Words】 The beauty of Beiji Island lies in its originality and tranquility. There is no commercial hustle, only the truest island life. If you yearn for a slow life “facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming,” come here and be an islander cut off from the world for a few days. 🌊 “The sea breeze travels eight thousand miles; the place it comes from is home.” Beiji Island is worth your stay.

While others chase skyscrapers in Dubai, I prefer to delve into the folds of the desert; while others lie on the beaches in the Maldives, I dive into the deep sea to dance with schools of fish—this journey spanning two landscapes is full of unexpected surprises. In Dubai, I gave up queuing to check in at the Burj Khalifa and instead teamed up with a local guide to rush into the uninhabited area of the Liwa Desert. At sunset, instead of gathering around a campfire, I lay on the sand dunes watching the Milky Way spread across the sky. The wind blows the sand into flowing golden waves, and the occasional sound of camel bells in the distance is more beautiful than any city night view. I skipped the spice market in the old town and instead lingered in a niche café beside Al Fahidi Fort, watching an elderly man in a white robe brew coffee with a traditional copper pot. The bitterness mixed with the aroma of cardamom, as he told stories of Dubai’s transformation from a small fishing village to a metropolis. The coffee stains spreading on the paper coaster were the shapes of time. The most unexpected moment was at the pier near Jumeirah Beach, where I followed fishermen on a small wooden boat to fish, pulling up nets full of snapper with my own hands. Returning to shore at dusk, the restaurant cooked the catch fresh. The salty freshness of the sea mixed with the lemon’s fragrance gave a satisfaction that no hotel feast could match. Flying to the Maldives, I skipped the overcrowded popular islands and chose a niche atoll with only three overwater bungalows. There was no infinity pool for social media check-ins, but a private walkway led to the deep sea. Early in the morning, I fed fish with breadcrumbs, surrounded by thousands of colorful parrotfish around my ankles. Sunlight penetrated the water, turning the sea into scattered diamonds. In the afternoon, instead of lying on a beach chair, I rented a glass-bottom boat to drift over an uninhabited coral reef, watching small sharks swim among pink corals and giant sea turtles resting on the reef rocks, as if stepping into an underwater fairy tale. The most romantic moment at night wasn’t a beach dinner but pitching a tent on the terrace of the overwater bungalow, listening to the rhythm of waves hitting the shore. Looking up, the Milky Way shone without light pollution, and occasional shooting stars connected the deep sea and night sky into a galaxy. This journey had no checklist, only surprises encountered at will. The desert in Dubai taught me to feel the tenderness within ruggedness, and the deep sea in the Maldives helped me understand the passion within tranquility. The collision of these two beauties created a special twin-city memory.

On my first day in Namibia, I was stunned— The beauty here isn’t lively; it’s a sophisticated kind of solitude. · — Namib Desert Standing atop the world’s tallest red sand dunes, The wind shapes the sand into flowing lines. I suddenly realized: Nature can be a “minimalist” too. · Death Valley Black dead trees, white salt pans, orange dunes. No filters needed for photos here, Every spot looks like stepping into an art exhibition. That silence makes you lose track of time. · Desert meets the sea As the plane flew over the dunes, I saw where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean— Red waves and blue waves rolling together. At that moment, I held my breath. This isn’t just a view; it’s a miracle. · Etosha National Park The animals here aren’t just for show, They are truly “living.” Zebras line up crossing the road, Giraffes slowly emerge from the morning mist, Elephants drink water right in front of your car. This is what animals really look like. · — Why do I recommend Namibia? ✔ No worries about “overcrowded attractions” ✔ Every place feels like a sci-fi movie set ✔ Perfect for ultra-wide, minimalist, color-block photography ✔ The journey is wild, but emotionally healing · It’s not popular, it’s limited edition. Not soft, but stunningly beautiful. · — If you’re looking for a place to “escape the world” recently—come to Namibia. Here, you’ll rediscover the Earth and yourself.

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 🫪.

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.”

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

Explore Petra! The complete hiking guide to the New Seven Wonders of the World 🏜️ The Rose City traverses millennia of civilization! 🌹 Stunning moment! When the narrow Siq Canyon opens and the Treasury suddenly appears, tears almost welled up! No wonder it was a filming location for "Indiana Jones," the New Seven Wonders of the World truly lives up to its name~ ⏰ Suggested duration: At least a full day! I walked from 7 AM to 5 PM, took 30,000 steps and still felt there was more to see! 🚶‍♀️ Must-do routes: 1️⃣ Siq Canyon A 1.2 km long serpentine canyon with towering cliffs over 100 meters high on both sides! Remember to look up for the ancient water system and camel caravan carvings. 📸 Hidden spot: In the middle of the canyon, there is a natural heart-shaped rock (look on the right cliff wall). 2️⃣ The Treasury A Roman-style temple that suddenly appears at the end of the canyon! The best photo time is between 9-10 AM when sunlight shines on the rose-colored rock walls, creating stunning views. 💡 Insider tip: Locals say the second floor of the Treasury hides Pharaoh’s treasure (though you can’t enter, haha). 3️⃣ Royal Tombs Climb 800 steps to the King’s tomb and overlook the entire ancient city! If your stamina is average, you can pay to ride a donkey (remember to bargain). 4️⃣ The Monastery The toughest climb of the trip! You need to climb 1,820 steps, but the view from the top is definitely worth the ticket price. 🍵 Rest stop: Halfway up, there’s a Bedouin tea shop where you can enjoy mint tea and an unbeatable view for just 1 dinar. 🌙 Night tour bonus: Every Wednesday and Thursday night is Petra by Night! 1,800 candles are lit in front of the Treasury (tickets sold separately). ⚠️ Practical tips: · Wear comfortable hiking shoes! The paths are all gravel and steps. · Bring enough water and snacks; there are very few supply stations inside the park. · Solo female travelers are advised to hire a local guide (about 20 dinars). · Bargaining rule: Start by cutting the price in half, then slowly increase. 📸 Best photo spots: 1️⃣ The high platform to the right of the Treasury (tip the Bedouin guide to lead you). 2️⃣ The arch frame composition at the top of the Monastery. 🐪 Unique experience: Spend 5 dinars to ride a camel to the front of the Treasury! Remember to have your companion take epic side shots of you walking.

I'm Aqin, a professional photographer, and also a travel blogger with millions of followers who has been to 26 countries (on a certain platform). 2017 was my first time visiting Thoddoo Island. Back then, the beaches of Thoddoo were still undeveloped. I remember when I emerged from a wild coconut grove, the scene suddenly lit up before my eyes. Oh my god! A whole stretch of Tiffany blue lagoon was spread out right in front of me. It turned out that the Maldives I had imagined looked just like this place~ Its beauty shouldn’t be confined to just my camera lens. I want to share this treasure island with everyone. Some say the prices in the Maldives need to be lowered. I want to say, the Maldives itself isn’t expensive. Spending a week on Thoddoo Island can be done for just a few thousand yuan per person. If you come in the off-season and just lie on the beach every day without going out to sea, splitting hotel costs between two people, honestly, you won’t even spend 3,000 yuan in a week. This is the real cost of living on a Maldives local island. I have witnessed it with my own eyes: paradise doesn’t have to be expensive. I have been to more local islands than most local workers. I know which island has the most beautiful trailing sand beaches, which coral reef has the most fish for snorkeling, which island’s lagoon looks the best, and which island still preserves authentic local culture. Every island has its own strengths and weaknesses. When I see the very popular Maafushi and Fulidhoo on social media, I feel that Thoddoo Island should not be overlooked. I want more people to see what’s here. If you want to learn more about this island’s travel tips, I will keep updating more travel advice. Photos 1-2-4-5-6-10 show the scenery of Thoddoo Island itself. Photos 3-7-8-9 show the trailing sand beaches near Thoddoo Island.

Na Bua Villa Chiangrai is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, a route connecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, making it possible to explore both provinces in one trip. This resort was created with the intention of bringing people back to experience the memories of traditional Thai ways of life. The connection between rice fields, lotus ponds, and a simple lifestyle inspired the creation of this resort. Guests can stay amidst true nature, enjoying peace, tranquility, and relaxation. It's perfect for those looking to escape the chaos and reconnect with the warmth of nature in a traditional Thai setting. The resort features a wooden bridge extending into the rice fields, giving a feeling akin to being in a 'Maldives of the rice fields.' Each villa is circular in shape, with interiors designed in a simple style that incorporates local woven crafts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Breakfast is included and consists of simple yet delightful sets such as rice porridge, pan-fried eggs, bread with pandan custard, fresh avocado, along with fruit juice and fresh milk. Every dish is delicious, and enjoying it in the cool morning air is truly delightful. For dinner, I entrusted my meal to the resort, which served a set of local dishes. The sunset here is stunning, with a romantic atmosphere.

After visiting NYC around ten times, I finally made it to the Museum at Eldridge Street on my most recent trip—and I truly wish I had discovered it sooner. Conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, near Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge entrance, and several downtown attractions, it’s easy to fit into your plans while exploring the area. While there’s typically an admission fee, booking a solo visit online can grant free entry, and I highly recommend doing so. I arrived early, right after it opened, and practically had the whole place to myself. The visit only takes about 15–20 minutes, but the interior is stunning. It’s beautifully preserved, peaceful, and has so much character. Watching the morning light filter through the exquisite stained-glass windows was one of my favorite experiences. Though small, this museum is truly something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

For Christmas 2024, I once again traveled with my church to Dallas, Texas, to attend a global conference. This marked my second visit to this city. During my first trip, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to explore. This time, I promised myself to carve out some moments to truly experience the pulse of Dallas. The hotel was near the airport, and the roar of planes was a constant backdrop. One morning, I took a cab to the city center. As we drove, the cityscape gradually unfolded: orderly skyscrapers, slightly desolate street corners, and clusters of homeless individuals huddled on sidewalks, starkly contrasting with the hurried tourists nearby. To my surprise, I encountered quite a few Chinese faces on the streets, adding a touch of familiarity to this foreign city. Dallas didn’t leave a stunning first impression, but it carried a raw authenticity. The city wasn’t overly polished, yet it had a candid charm of its own. My first stop was the famous "Eye of Dallas," a glass sphere-like structure suspended in the sky, resembling an eye overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the city bathed in the golden hues of sunset, and the cold steel and concrete seemed to soften under the warm light. Next, I visited the "Hall of Thanksgiving," a place that pleasantly surprised me. The hall featured a towering stained-glass wall that seemed to fragment the sky into countless colorful pieces. Sunlight streamed through the interwoven blue, red, gold, and green glass, casting vibrant patterns on the floor and benches, as if God had accidentally spilled His paint. I sat quietly, enveloped in silence, with only the light in motion. The shifting shadows and colors, as time passed, transformed an ordinary afternoon into a solemn yet tender performance. This place bore no specific religious symbols and required no elaborate rituals. It felt more like a sanctuary for the weary soul. As I gazed up at the kaleidoscope of colors, an indescribable feeling welled up within me: the outside world might be noisy, harsh, and even cruel, but at this moment, I felt genuinely embraced by a gentle warmth. The light seemed to remind me—no matter how exhausting life gets, there’s always a place where one can pause, take a deep breath, and then move forward again. Of course, a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without barbecue. I made my way to Hutchins, hailed as the "pinnacle of Dallas BBQ." The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the aroma of grilled meat. The brisket was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful—each bite a smoky, fiery delight. But... the plate was all meat, meat, and more meat! By the end, I couldn’t help but groan internally, "It’s delicious, but I’m drowning in meat!" 😤 This brief city excursion didn’t feature grand spectacles or thrilling adventures, but it pieced together a genuine portrait of Dallas: a mix of ruggedness and warmth, boldness and comfort. As night fell, I returned to my hotel near the airport, feeling that this visit to Dallas had brought me closer to the city than the last.

📍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.

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

Beiji Island: A secluded maritime paradise, Zhejiang’s last pure fishing village 【Preface】 In the vast East China Sea southeast of Zhejiang, there is a small island forgotten by time—Beiji Island. It lacks the fame of Nanji Island and the artistic vibe of Dongji Island, but precisely because of this, it preserves the most original fishing village charm. Here, there is no overdevelopment, no bustling tourists, only blue sea and sky, rustic stone houses, simple fishermen, and the purest island life between the tides. If you are tired of crowded trendy spots and want to find a place to truly unwind, Beiji Island might be the answer. 【How to Get There?】 📍 Location: Southeast sea area of Rui’an, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 38 nautical miles from the mainland 🚢 Transportation: Rui’an South Gate Pier → Beiji Island (one trip daily, about 2.5 hours) Ticket: 130 RMB one way per person (advance booking recommended) Departure time: 9:00 AM (subject to pier announcement) Self-driving: Navigate to Rui’an South Gate Pier, parking available nearby ⚠️ Tips: Boat schedules are highly weather-dependent; check weather forecasts in advance No cars on the island; mainly walking or renting electric scooters (about 50 RMB/day) 【Must-Do on the Island】 1. Stroll through Beiji Fishing Village and feel the traces of frozen time The heart of Beiji Island is Beiji Fishing Village, where most houses are built of stone, nestled on the hillside in a staggered layout. In the early morning, fishermen return from the sea, and the lively fish trading scene at the pier makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back decades into fishing village life. 📸 Recommended photo spots: Lighthouse Road: The stone path leading to Beiji Lighthouse, flanked by stone houses and wildflowers, perfect for artistic shots Fishing Harbor Pier: Fishing boats returning at sunrise, with interplay of light and shadow, full of life atmosphere 2. Climb Beiji Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the East China Sea Beiji Lighthouse is the island’s highest point and one of the easternmost lighthouses in the East China Sea. From the top, you can enjoy a 360° unobstructed sea view, and on clear days, even see distant Nanji Island. 🌅 Best viewing time: sunrise or sunset 3. Discover the “Blue Tears” phenomenon (summer only) From May to August each year, the coastline of Beiji Island occasionally shows the “Blue Tears” (a bioluminescent plankton). At night, when waves hit the shore, the glowing blue light flickers like stars falling into the sea. 📍 Best viewing spot: Guoshu Yu Beach (check tide times with local fishermen in advance) 4. Tide pooling and fishing—be a fisherman for a day Beiji Island’s marine life is abundant. At low tide, you can dig for oysters, sea snails, and crabs on the rocky shore. If you like fishing, you can rent a small boat to go out to sea and experience real fisherman life. 🎣 Recommended experiences: Tide pooling (bring your own tools and gloves) Night squid fishing (summer special, super fun!) 5. Enjoy an authentic seafood feast The island’s seafood is freshly caught and cooked, affordable and delicious. Recommended dishes: Steamed wild yellow croaker (tender meat that melts in your mouth) Scallion oil razor clams (plump and juicy, local specialty) Seaweed and dried shrimp soup (Beiji seaweed is famous far and wide) 🍽️ Recommended restaurants: Fisherman’s Family Food Stall (near the pier, great value) Grandma’s Seafood Noodles (30-year-old shop, broth is incredibly flavorful) 【Accommodation Recommendations】 🏠 1. Beiji Island Homestays (converted fishing village stone houses, 150-300 RMB per person) Recommended: “Listen to the Sea” Homestay (facing the sea, terrace with sunrise view) Feature: Stone houses are warm in winter and cool in summer, with the sound of waves at night ⛺ 2. Camping (best in summer) Guoshu Yu Beach allows tent camping, but confirm tide safety in advance 【Suggested Itinerary】 ✅ Classic 2 days 1 night trip Day 1: Morning arrival → fishing village stroll → lighthouse sunset → night fishing/tide pooling Day 2: Early sunrise → beach shell collecting → seafood lunch → afternoon return ✅ In-depth 3 days 2 nights trip Add island hiking, visit uninhabited islets (like Xiadao Island), experience fishing family life, etc. 【Notes】 Limited supplies on the island; bring snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent Weak network signal, some areas only 2G, perfect for a “digital detox” Travel eco-friendly; please carry out your trash to protect this pristine sea area 【Final Words】 The beauty of Beiji Island lies in its originality and tranquility. There is no commercial hustle, only the truest island life. If you yearn for a slow life “facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming,” come here and be an islander cut off from the world for a few days. 🌊 “The sea breeze travels eight thousand miles; the place it comes from is home.” Beiji Island is worth your stay.

While others chase skyscrapers in Dubai, I prefer to delve into the folds of the desert; while others lie on the beaches in the Maldives, I dive into the deep sea to dance with schools of fish—this journey spanning two landscapes is full of unexpected surprises. In Dubai, I gave up queuing to check in at the Burj Khalifa and instead teamed up with a local guide to rush into the uninhabited area of the Liwa Desert. At sunset, instead of gathering around a campfire, I lay on the sand dunes watching the Milky Way spread across the sky. The wind blows the sand into flowing golden waves, and the occasional sound of camel bells in the distance is more beautiful than any city night view. I skipped the spice market in the old town and instead lingered in a niche café beside Al Fahidi Fort, watching an elderly man in a white robe brew coffee with a traditional copper pot. The bitterness mixed with the aroma of cardamom, as he told stories of Dubai’s transformation from a small fishing village to a metropolis. The coffee stains spreading on the paper coaster were the shapes of time. The most unexpected moment was at the pier near Jumeirah Beach, where I followed fishermen on a small wooden boat to fish, pulling up nets full of snapper with my own hands. Returning to shore at dusk, the restaurant cooked the catch fresh. The salty freshness of the sea mixed with the lemon’s fragrance gave a satisfaction that no hotel feast could match. Flying to the Maldives, I skipped the overcrowded popular islands and chose a niche atoll with only three overwater bungalows. There was no infinity pool for social media check-ins, but a private walkway led to the deep sea. Early in the morning, I fed fish with breadcrumbs, surrounded by thousands of colorful parrotfish around my ankles. Sunlight penetrated the water, turning the sea into scattered diamonds. In the afternoon, instead of lying on a beach chair, I rented a glass-bottom boat to drift over an uninhabited coral reef, watching small sharks swim among pink corals and giant sea turtles resting on the reef rocks, as if stepping into an underwater fairy tale. The most romantic moment at night wasn’t a beach dinner but pitching a tent on the terrace of the overwater bungalow, listening to the rhythm of waves hitting the shore. Looking up, the Milky Way shone without light pollution, and occasional shooting stars connected the deep sea and night sky into a galaxy. This journey had no checklist, only surprises encountered at will. The desert in Dubai taught me to feel the tenderness within ruggedness, and the deep sea in the Maldives helped me understand the passion within tranquility. The collision of these two beauties created a special twin-city memory.

On my first day in Namibia, I was stunned— The beauty here isn’t lively; it’s a sophisticated kind of solitude. · — Namib Desert Standing atop the world’s tallest red sand dunes, The wind shapes the sand into flowing lines. I suddenly realized: Nature can be a “minimalist” too. · Death Valley Black dead trees, white salt pans, orange dunes. No filters needed for photos here, Every spot looks like stepping into an art exhibition. That silence makes you lose track of time. · Desert meets the sea As the plane flew over the dunes, I saw where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean— Red waves and blue waves rolling together. At that moment, I held my breath. This isn’t just a view; it’s a miracle. · Etosha National Park The animals here aren’t just for show, They are truly “living.” Zebras line up crossing the road, Giraffes slowly emerge from the morning mist, Elephants drink water right in front of your car. This is what animals really look like. · — Why do I recommend Namibia? ✔ No worries about “overcrowded attractions” ✔ Every place feels like a sci-fi movie set ✔ Perfect for ultra-wide, minimalist, color-block photography ✔ The journey is wild, but emotionally healing · It’s not popular, it’s limited edition. Not soft, but stunningly beautiful. · — If you’re looking for a place to “escape the world” recently—come to Namibia. Here, you’ll rediscover the Earth and yourself.

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 🫪.

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.”

💎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 walked from 7 AM to 5 PM, took 30,000 steps and still felt there was more to see! 🚶‍♀️ Must-do routes: 1️⃣ Siq Canyon A 1.2 km long serpentine canyon with towering cliffs over 100 meters high on both sides! Remember to look up for the ancient water system and camel caravan carvings. 📸 Hidden spot: In the middle of the canyon, there is a natural heart-shaped rock (look on the right cliff wall). 2️⃣ The Treasury A Roman-style temple that suddenly appears at the end of the canyon! The best photo time is between 9-10 AM when sunlight shines on the rose-colored rock walls, creating stunning views. 💡 Insider tip: Locals say the second floor of the Treasury hides Pharaoh’s treasure (though you can’t enter, haha). 3️⃣ Royal Tombs Climb 800 steps to the King’s tomb and overlook the entire ancient city! If your stamina is average, you can pay to ride a donkey (remember to bargain). 4️⃣ The Monastery The toughest climb of the trip! You need to climb 1,820 steps, but the view from the top is definitely worth the ticket price. 🍵 Rest stop: Halfway up, there’s a Bedouin tea shop where you can enjoy mint tea and an unbeatable view for just 1 dinar. 🌙 Night tour bonus: Every Wednesday and Thursday night is Petra by Night! 1,800 candles are lit in front of the Treasury (tickets sold separately). ⚠️ Practical tips: · Wear comfortable hiking shoes! The paths are all gravel and steps. · Bring enough water and snacks; there are very few supply stations inside the park. · Solo female travelers are advised to hire a local guide (about 20 dinars). · Bargaining rule: Start by cutting the price in half, then slowly increase. 📸 Best photo spots: 1️⃣ The high platform to the right of the Treasury (tip the Bedouin guide to lead you). 2️⃣ The arch frame composition at the top of the Monastery. 🐪 Unique experience: Spend 5 dinars to ride a camel to the front of the Treasury! Remember to have your companion take epic side shots of you walking.

#mytripvlog When people take a road trip, traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas along Interstate 15, the colorful installation art will catch travelers' eyes when passing through desert landscapes.

I'm Aqin, a professional photographer, and also a travel blogger with millions of followers who has been to 26 countries (on a certain platform). 2017 was my first time visiting Thoddoo Island. Back then, the beaches of Thoddoo were still undeveloped. I remember when I emerged from a wild coconut grove, the scene suddenly lit up before my eyes. Oh my god! A whole stretch of Tiffany blue lagoon was spread out right in front of me. It turned out that the Maldives I had imagined looked just like this place~ Its beauty shouldn’t be confined to just my camera lens. I want to share this treasure island with everyone. Some say the prices in the Maldives need to be lowered. I want to say, the Maldives itself isn’t expensive. Spending a week on Thoddoo Island can be done for just a few thousand yuan per person. If you come in the off-season and just lie on the beach every day without going out to sea, splitting hotel costs between two people, honestly, you won’t even spend 3,000 yuan in a week. This is the real cost of living on a Maldives local island. I have witnessed it with my own eyes: paradise doesn’t have to be expensive. I have been to more local islands than most local workers. I know which island has the most beautiful trailing sand beaches, which coral reef has the most fish for snorkeling, which island’s lagoon looks the best, and which island still preserves authentic local culture. Every island has its own strengths and weaknesses. When I see the very popular Maafushi and Fulidhoo on social media, I feel that Thoddoo Island should not be overlooked. I want more people to see what’s here. If you want to learn more about this island’s travel tips, I will keep updating more travel advice. Photos 1-2-4-5-6-10 show the scenery of Thoddoo Island itself. Photos 3-7-8-9 show the trailing sand beaches near Thoddoo Island.

Na Bua Villa Chiangrai is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, a route connecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, making it possible to explore both provinces in one trip. This resort was created with the intention of bringing people back to experience the memories of traditional Thai ways of life. The connection between rice fields, lotus ponds, and a simple lifestyle inspired the creation of this resort. Guests can stay amidst true nature, enjoying peace, tranquility, and relaxation. It's perfect for those looking to escape the chaos and reconnect with the warmth of nature in a traditional Thai setting. The resort features a wooden bridge extending into the rice fields, giving a feeling akin to being in a 'Maldives of the rice fields.' Each villa is circular in shape, with interiors designed in a simple style that incorporates local woven crafts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Breakfast is included and consists of simple yet delightful sets such as rice porridge, pan-fried eggs, bread with pandan custard, fresh avocado, along with fruit juice and fresh milk. Every dish is delicious, and enjoying it in the cool morning air is truly delightful. For dinner, I entrusted my meal to the resort, which served a set of local dishes. The sunset here is stunning, with a romantic atmosphere.

After visiting NYC around ten times, I finally made it to the Museum at Eldridge Street on my most recent trip—and I truly wish I had discovered it sooner. Conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, near Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge entrance, and several downtown attractions, it’s easy to fit into your plans while exploring the area. While there’s typically an admission fee, booking a solo visit online can grant free entry, and I highly recommend doing so. I arrived early, right after it opened, and practically had the whole place to myself. The visit only takes about 15–20 minutes, but the interior is stunning. It’s beautifully preserved, peaceful, and has so much character. Watching the morning light filter through the exquisite stained-glass windows was one of my favorite experiences. Though small, this museum is truly something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

For Christmas 2024, I once again traveled with my church to Dallas, Texas, to attend a global conference. This marked my second visit to this city. During my first trip, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to explore. This time, I promised myself to carve out some moments to truly experience the pulse of Dallas. The hotel was near the airport, and the roar of planes was a constant backdrop. One morning, I took a cab to the city center. As we drove, the cityscape gradually unfolded: orderly skyscrapers, slightly desolate street corners, and clusters of homeless individuals huddled on sidewalks, starkly contrasting with the hurried tourists nearby. To my surprise, I encountered quite a few Chinese faces on the streets, adding a touch of familiarity to this foreign city. Dallas didn’t leave a stunning first impression, but it carried a raw authenticity. The city wasn’t overly polished, yet it had a candid charm of its own. My first stop was the famous "Eye of Dallas," a glass sphere-like structure suspended in the sky, resembling an eye overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the city bathed in the golden hues of sunset, and the cold steel and concrete seemed to soften under the warm light. Next, I visited the "Hall of Thanksgiving," a place that pleasantly surprised me. The hall featured a towering stained-glass wall that seemed to fragment the sky into countless colorful pieces. Sunlight streamed through the interwoven blue, red, gold, and green glass, casting vibrant patterns on the floor and benches, as if God had accidentally spilled His paint. I sat quietly, enveloped in silence, with only the light in motion. The shifting shadows and colors, as time passed, transformed an ordinary afternoon into a solemn yet tender performance. This place bore no specific religious symbols and required no elaborate rituals. It felt more like a sanctuary for the weary soul. As I gazed up at the kaleidoscope of colors, an indescribable feeling welled up within me: the outside world might be noisy, harsh, and even cruel, but at this moment, I felt genuinely embraced by a gentle warmth. The light seemed to remind me—no matter how exhausting life gets, there’s always a place where one can pause, take a deep breath, and then move forward again. Of course, a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without barbecue. I made my way to Hutchins, hailed as the "pinnacle of Dallas BBQ." The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the aroma of grilled meat. The brisket was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful—each bite a smoky, fiery delight. But... the plate was all meat, meat, and more meat! By the end, I couldn’t help but groan internally, "It’s delicious, but I’m drowning in meat!" 😤 This brief city excursion didn’t feature grand spectacles or thrilling adventures, but it pieced together a genuine portrait of Dallas: a mix of ruggedness and warmth, boldness and comfort. As night fell, I returned to my hotel near the airport, feeling that this visit to Dallas had brought me closer to the city than the last.

📍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.

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

Beiji Island: A secluded maritime paradise, Zhejiang’s last pure fishing village 【Preface】 In the vast East China Sea southeast of Zhejiang, there is a small island forgotten by time—Beiji Island. It lacks the fame of Nanji Island and the artistic vibe of Dongji Island, but precisely because of this, it preserves the most original fishing village charm. Here, there is no overdevelopment, no bustling tourists, only blue sea and sky, rustic stone houses, simple fishermen, and the purest island life between the tides. If you are tired of crowded trendy spots and want to find a place to truly unwind, Beiji Island might be the answer. 【How to Get There?】 📍 Location: Southeast sea area of Rui’an, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 38 nautical miles from the mainland 🚢 Transportation: Rui’an South Gate Pier → Beiji Island (one trip daily, about 2.5 hours) Ticket: 130 RMB one way per person (advance booking recommended) Departure time: 9:00 AM (subject to pier announcement) Self-driving: Navigate to Rui’an South Gate Pier, parking available nearby ⚠️ Tips: Boat schedules are highly weather-dependent; check weather forecasts in advance No cars on the island; mainly walking or renting electric scooters (about 50 RMB/day) 【Must-Do on the Island】 1. Stroll through Beiji Fishing Village and feel the traces of frozen time The heart of Beiji Island is Beiji Fishing Village, where most houses are built of stone, nestled on the hillside in a staggered layout. In the early morning, fishermen return from the sea, and the lively fish trading scene at the pier makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back decades into fishing village life. 📸 Recommended photo spots: Lighthouse Road: The stone path leading to Beiji Lighthouse, flanked by stone houses and wildflowers, perfect for artistic shots Fishing Harbor Pier: Fishing boats returning at sunrise, with interplay of light and shadow, full of life atmosphere 2. Climb Beiji Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the East China Sea Beiji Lighthouse is the island’s highest point and one of the easternmost lighthouses in the East China Sea. From the top, you can enjoy a 360° unobstructed sea view, and on clear days, even see distant Nanji Island. 🌅 Best viewing time: sunrise or sunset 3. Discover the “Blue Tears” phenomenon (summer only) From May to August each year, the coastline of Beiji Island occasionally shows the “Blue Tears” (a bioluminescent plankton). At night, when waves hit the shore, the glowing blue light flickers like stars falling into the sea. 📍 Best viewing spot: Guoshu Yu Beach (check tide times with local fishermen in advance) 4. Tide pooling and fishing—be a fisherman for a day Beiji Island’s marine life is abundant. At low tide, you can dig for oysters, sea snails, and crabs on the rocky shore. If you like fishing, you can rent a small boat to go out to sea and experience real fisherman life. 🎣 Recommended experiences: Tide pooling (bring your own tools and gloves) Night squid fishing (summer special, super fun!) 5. Enjoy an authentic seafood feast The island’s seafood is freshly caught and cooked, affordable and delicious. Recommended dishes: Steamed wild yellow croaker (tender meat that melts in your mouth) Scallion oil razor clams (plump and juicy, local specialty) Seaweed and dried shrimp soup (Beiji seaweed is famous far and wide) 🍽️ Recommended restaurants: Fisherman’s Family Food Stall (near the pier, great value) Grandma’s Seafood Noodles (30-year-old shop, broth is incredibly flavorful) 【Accommodation Recommendations】 🏠 1. Beiji Island Homestays (converted fishing village stone houses, 150-300 RMB per person) Recommended: “Listen to the Sea” Homestay (facing the sea, terrace with sunrise view) Feature: Stone houses are warm in winter and cool in summer, with the sound of waves at night ⛺ 2. Camping (best in summer) Guoshu Yu Beach allows tent camping, but confirm tide safety in advance 【Suggested Itinerary】 ✅ Classic 2 days 1 night trip Day 1: Morning arrival → fishing village stroll → lighthouse sunset → night fishing/tide pooling Day 2: Early sunrise → beach shell collecting → seafood lunch → afternoon return ✅ In-depth 3 days 2 nights trip Add island hiking, visit uninhabited islets (like Xiadao Island), experience fishing family life, etc. 【Notes】 Limited supplies on the island; bring snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent Weak network signal, some areas only 2G, perfect for a “digital detox” Travel eco-friendly; please carry out your trash to protect this pristine sea area 【Final Words】 The beauty of Beiji Island lies in its originality and tranquility. There is no commercial hustle, only the truest island life. If you yearn for a slow life “facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming,” come here and be an islander cut off from the world for a few days. 🌊 “The sea breeze travels eight thousand miles; the place it comes from is home.” Beiji Island is worth your stay.

While others chase skyscrapers in Dubai, I prefer to delve into the folds of the desert; while others lie on the beaches in the Maldives, I dive into the deep sea to dance with schools of fish—this journey spanning two landscapes is full of unexpected surprises. In Dubai, I gave up queuing to check in at the Burj Khalifa and instead teamed up with a local guide to rush into the uninhabited area of the Liwa Desert. At sunset, instead of gathering around a campfire, I lay on the sand dunes watching the Milky Way spread across the sky. The wind blows the sand into flowing golden waves, and the occasional sound of camel bells in the distance is more beautiful than any city night view. I skipped the spice market in the old town and instead lingered in a niche café beside Al Fahidi Fort, watching an elderly man in a white robe brew coffee with a traditional copper pot. The bitterness mixed with the aroma of cardamom, as he told stories of Dubai’s transformation from a small fishing village to a metropolis. The coffee stains spreading on the paper coaster were the shapes of time. The most unexpected moment was at the pier near Jumeirah Beach, where I followed fishermen on a small wooden boat to fish, pulling up nets full of snapper with my own hands. Returning to shore at dusk, the restaurant cooked the catch fresh. The salty freshness of the sea mixed with the lemon’s fragrance gave a satisfaction that no hotel feast could match. Flying to the Maldives, I skipped the overcrowded popular islands and chose a niche atoll with only three overwater bungalows. There was no infinity pool for social media check-ins, but a private walkway led to the deep sea. Early in the morning, I fed fish with breadcrumbs, surrounded by thousands of colorful parrotfish around my ankles. Sunlight penetrated the water, turning the sea into scattered diamonds. In the afternoon, instead of lying on a beach chair, I rented a glass-bottom boat to drift over an uninhabited coral reef, watching small sharks swim among pink corals and giant sea turtles resting on the reef rocks, as if stepping into an underwater fairy tale. The most romantic moment at night wasn’t a beach dinner but pitching a tent on the terrace of the overwater bungalow, listening to the rhythm of waves hitting the shore. Looking up, the Milky Way shone without light pollution, and occasional shooting stars connected the deep sea and night sky into a galaxy. This journey had no checklist, only surprises encountered at will. The desert in Dubai taught me to feel the tenderness within ruggedness, and the deep sea in the Maldives helped me understand the passion within tranquility. The collision of these two beauties created a special twin-city memory.

On my first day in Namibia, I was stunned— The beauty here isn’t lively; it’s a sophisticated kind of solitude. · — Namib Desert Standing atop the world’s tallest red sand dunes, The wind shapes the sand into flowing lines. I suddenly realized: Nature can be a “minimalist” too. · Death Valley Black dead trees, white salt pans, orange dunes. No filters needed for photos here, Every spot looks like stepping into an art exhibition. That silence makes you lose track of time. · Desert meets the sea As the plane flew over the dunes, I saw where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean— Red waves and blue waves rolling together. At that moment, I held my breath. This isn’t just a view; it’s a miracle. · Etosha National Park The animals here aren’t just for show, They are truly “living.” Zebras line up crossing the road, Giraffes slowly emerge from the morning mist, Elephants drink water right in front of your car. This is what animals really look like. · — Why do I recommend Namibia? ✔ No worries about “overcrowded attractions” ✔ Every place feels like a sci-fi movie set ✔ Perfect for ultra-wide, minimalist, color-block photography ✔ The journey is wild, but emotionally healing · It’s not popular, it’s limited edition. Not soft, but stunningly beautiful. · — If you’re looking for a place to “escape the world” recently—come to Namibia. Here, you’ll rediscover the Earth and yourself.

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 🫪.

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.”

💎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'm Aqin, a professional photographer, and also a travel blogger with millions of followers who has been to 26 countries (on a certain platform). 2017 was my first time visiting Thoddoo Island. Back then, the beaches of Thoddoo were still undeveloped. I remember when I emerged from a wild coconut grove, the scene suddenly lit up before my eyes. Oh my god! A whole stretch of Tiffany blue lagoon was spread out right in front of me. It turned out that the Maldives I had imagined looked just like this place~ Its beauty shouldn’t be confined to just my camera lens. I want to share this treasure island with everyone. Some say the prices in the Maldives need to be lowered. I want to say, the Maldives itself isn’t expensive. Spending a week on Thoddoo Island can be done for just a few thousand yuan per person. If you come in the off-season and just lie on the beach every day without going out to sea, splitting hotel costs between two people, honestly, you won’t even spend 3,000 yuan in a week. This is the real cost of living on a Maldives local island. I have witnessed it with my own eyes: paradise doesn’t have to be expensive. I have been to more local islands than most local workers. I know which island has the most beautiful trailing sand beaches, which coral reef has the most fish for snorkeling, which island’s lagoon looks the best, and which island still preserves authentic local culture. Every island has its own strengths and weaknesses. When I see the very popular Maafushi and Fulidhoo on social media, I feel that Thoddoo Island should not be overlooked. I want more people to see what’s here. If you want to learn more about this island’s travel tips, I will keep updating more travel advice. Photos 1-2-4-5-6-10 show the scenery of Thoddoo Island itself. Photos 3-7-8-9 show the trailing sand beaches near Thoddoo Island.

Na Bua Villa Chiangrai is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, a route connecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, making it possible to explore both provinces in one trip. This resort was created with the intention of bringing people back to experience the memories of traditional Thai ways of life. The connection between rice fields, lotus ponds, and a simple lifestyle inspired the creation of this resort. Guests can stay amidst true nature, enjoying peace, tranquility, and relaxation. It's perfect for those looking to escape the chaos and reconnect with the warmth of nature in a traditional Thai setting. The resort features a wooden bridge extending into the rice fields, giving a feeling akin to being in a 'Maldives of the rice fields.' Each villa is circular in shape, with interiors designed in a simple style that incorporates local woven crafts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Breakfast is included and consists of simple yet delightful sets such as rice porridge, pan-fried eggs, bread with pandan custard, fresh avocado, along with fruit juice and fresh milk. Every dish is delicious, and enjoying it in the cool morning air is truly delightful. For dinner, I entrusted my meal to the resort, which served a set of local dishes. The sunset here is stunning, with a romantic atmosphere.

After visiting NYC around ten times, I finally made it to the Museum at Eldridge Street on my most recent trip—and I truly wish I had discovered it sooner. Conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, near Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge entrance, and several downtown attractions, it’s easy to fit into your plans while exploring the area. While there’s typically an admission fee, booking a solo visit online can grant free entry, and I highly recommend doing so. I arrived early, right after it opened, and practically had the whole place to myself. The visit only takes about 15–20 minutes, but the interior is stunning. It’s beautifully preserved, peaceful, and has so much character. Watching the morning light filter through the exquisite stained-glass windows was one of my favorite experiences. Though small, this museum is truly something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

For Christmas 2024, I once again traveled with my church to Dallas, Texas, to attend a global conference. This marked my second visit to this city. During my first trip, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to explore. This time, I promised myself to carve out some moments to truly experience the pulse of Dallas. The hotel was near the airport, and the roar of planes was a constant backdrop. One morning, I took a cab to the city center. As we drove, the cityscape gradually unfolded: orderly skyscrapers, slightly desolate street corners, and clusters of homeless individuals huddled on sidewalks, starkly contrasting with the hurried tourists nearby. To my surprise, I encountered quite a few Chinese faces on the streets, adding a touch of familiarity to this foreign city. Dallas didn’t leave a stunning first impression, but it carried a raw authenticity. The city wasn’t overly polished, yet it had a candid charm of its own. My first stop was the famous "Eye of Dallas," a glass sphere-like structure suspended in the sky, resembling an eye overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the city bathed in the golden hues of sunset, and the cold steel and concrete seemed to soften under the warm light. Next, I visited the "Hall of Thanksgiving," a place that pleasantly surprised me. The hall featured a towering stained-glass wall that seemed to fragment the sky into countless colorful pieces. Sunlight streamed through the interwoven blue, red, gold, and green glass, casting vibrant patterns on the floor and benches, as if God had accidentally spilled His paint. I sat quietly, enveloped in silence, with only the light in motion. The shifting shadows and colors, as time passed, transformed an ordinary afternoon into a solemn yet tender performance. This place bore no specific religious symbols and required no elaborate rituals. It felt more like a sanctuary for the weary soul. As I gazed up at the kaleidoscope of colors, an indescribable feeling welled up within me: the outside world might be noisy, harsh, and even cruel, but at this moment, I felt genuinely embraced by a gentle warmth. The light seemed to remind me—no matter how exhausting life gets, there’s always a place where one can pause, take a deep breath, and then move forward again. Of course, a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without barbecue. I made my way to Hutchins, hailed as the "pinnacle of Dallas BBQ." The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the aroma of grilled meat. The brisket was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful—each bite a smoky, fiery delight. But... the plate was all meat, meat, and more meat! By the end, I couldn’t help but groan internally, "It’s delicious, but I’m drowning in meat!" 😤 This brief city excursion didn’t feature grand spectacles or thrilling adventures, but it pieced together a genuine portrait of Dallas: a mix of ruggedness and warmth, boldness and comfort. As night fell, I returned to my hotel near the airport, feeling that this visit to Dallas had brought me closer to the city than the last.

📍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.

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

Beiji Island: A secluded maritime paradise, Zhejiang’s last pure fishing village 【Preface】 In the vast East China Sea southeast of Zhejiang, there is a small island forgotten by time—Beiji Island. It lacks the fame of Nanji Island and the artistic vibe of Dongji Island, but precisely because of this, it preserves the most original fishing village charm. Here, there is no overdevelopment, no bustling tourists, only blue sea and sky, rustic stone houses, simple fishermen, and the purest island life between the tides. If you are tired of crowded trendy spots and want to find a place to truly unwind, Beiji Island might be the answer. 【How to Get There?】 📍 Location: Southeast sea area of Rui’an, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 38 nautical miles from the mainland 🚢 Transportation: Rui’an South Gate Pier → Beiji Island (one trip daily, about 2.5 hours) Ticket: 130 RMB one way per person (advance booking recommended) Departure time: 9:00 AM (subject to pier announcement) Self-driving: Navigate to Rui’an South Gate Pier, parking available nearby ⚠️ Tips: Boat schedules are highly weather-dependent; check weather forecasts in advance No cars on the island; mainly walking or renting electric scooters (about 50 RMB/day) 【Must-Do on the Island】 1. Stroll through Beiji Fishing Village and feel the traces of frozen time The heart of Beiji Island is Beiji Fishing Village, where most houses are built of stone, nestled on the hillside in a staggered layout. In the early morning, fishermen return from the sea, and the lively fish trading scene at the pier makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back decades into fishing village life. 📸 Recommended photo spots: Lighthouse Road: The stone path leading to Beiji Lighthouse, flanked by stone houses and wildflowers, perfect for artistic shots Fishing Harbor Pier: Fishing boats returning at sunrise, with interplay of light and shadow, full of life atmosphere 2. Climb Beiji Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the East China Sea Beiji Lighthouse is the island’s highest point and one of the easternmost lighthouses in the East China Sea. From the top, you can enjoy a 360° unobstructed sea view, and on clear days, even see distant Nanji Island. 🌅 Best viewing time: sunrise or sunset 3. Discover the “Blue Tears” phenomenon (summer only) From May to August each year, the coastline of Beiji Island occasionally shows the “Blue Tears” (a bioluminescent plankton). At night, when waves hit the shore, the glowing blue light flickers like stars falling into the sea. 📍 Best viewing spot: Guoshu Yu Beach (check tide times with local fishermen in advance) 4. Tide pooling and fishing—be a fisherman for a day Beiji Island’s marine life is abundant. At low tide, you can dig for oysters, sea snails, and crabs on the rocky shore. If you like fishing, you can rent a small boat to go out to sea and experience real fisherman life. 🎣 Recommended experiences: Tide pooling (bring your own tools and gloves) Night squid fishing (summer special, super fun!) 5. Enjoy an authentic seafood feast The island’s seafood is freshly caught and cooked, affordable and delicious. Recommended dishes: Steamed wild yellow croaker (tender meat that melts in your mouth) Scallion oil razor clams (plump and juicy, local specialty) Seaweed and dried shrimp soup (Beiji seaweed is famous far and wide) 🍽️ Recommended restaurants: Fisherman’s Family Food Stall (near the pier, great value) Grandma’s Seafood Noodles (30-year-old shop, broth is incredibly flavorful) 【Accommodation Recommendations】 🏠 1. Beiji Island Homestays (converted fishing village stone houses, 150-300 RMB per person) Recommended: “Listen to the Sea” Homestay (facing the sea, terrace with sunrise view) Feature: Stone houses are warm in winter and cool in summer, with the sound of waves at night ⛺ 2. Camping (best in summer) Guoshu Yu Beach allows tent camping, but confirm tide safety in advance 【Suggested Itinerary】 ✅ Classic 2 days 1 night trip Day 1: Morning arrival → fishing village stroll → lighthouse sunset → night fishing/tide pooling Day 2: Early sunrise → beach shell collecting → seafood lunch → afternoon return ✅ In-depth 3 days 2 nights trip Add island hiking, visit uninhabited islets (like Xiadao Island), experience fishing family life, etc. 【Notes】 Limited supplies on the island; bring snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent Weak network signal, some areas only 2G, perfect for a “digital detox” Travel eco-friendly; please carry out your trash to protect this pristine sea area 【Final Words】 The beauty of Beiji Island lies in its originality and tranquility. There is no commercial hustle, only the truest island life.

While others chase skyscrapers in Dubai, I prefer to delve into the folds of the desert; while others lie on the beaches in the Maldives, I dive into the deep sea to dance with schools of fish—this journey spanning two landscapes is full of unexpected surprises. In Dubai, I gave up queuing to check in at the Burj Khalifa and instead teamed up with a local guide to rush into the uninhabited area of the Liwa Desert. At sunset, instead of gathering around a campfire, I lay on the sand dunes watching the Milky Way spread across the sky. The wind blows the sand into flowing golden waves, and the occasional sound of camel bells in the distance is more beautiful than any city night view. I skipped the spice market in the old town and instead lingered in a niche café beside Al Fahidi Fort, watching an elderly man in a white robe brew coffee with a traditional copper pot. The bitterness mixed with the aroma of cardamom, as he told stories of Dubai’s transformation from a small fishing village to a metropolis. The coffee stains spreading on the paper coaster were the shapes of time. The most unexpected moment was at the pier near Jumeirah Beach, where I followed fishermen on a small wooden boat to fish, pulling up nets full of snapper with my own hands. Returning to shore at dusk, the restaurant cooked the catch fresh. The salty freshness of the sea mixed with the lemon’s fragrance gave a satisfaction that no hotel feast could match. Flying to the Maldives, I skipped the overcrowded popular islands and chose a niche atoll with only three overwater bungalows. There was no infinity pool for social media check-ins, but a private walkway led to the deep sea. Early in the morning, I fed fish with breadcrumbs, surrounded by thousands of colorful parrotfish around my ankles. Sunlight penetrated the water, turning the sea into scattered diamonds. In the afternoon, instead of lying on a beach chair, I rented a glass-bottom boat to drift over an uninhabited coral reef, watching small sharks swim among pink corals and giant sea turtles resting on the reef rocks, as if stepping into an underwater fairy tale. The most romantic moment at night wasn’t a beach dinner but pitching a tent on the terrace of the overwater bungalow, listening to the rhythm of waves hitting the shore. Looking up, the Milky Way shone without light pollution, and occasional shooting stars connected the deep sea and night sky into a galaxy. This journey had no checklist, only surprises encountered at will. The desert in Dubai taught me to feel the tenderness within ruggedness, and the deep sea in the Maldives helped me understand the passion within tranquility. The collision of these two beauties created a special twin-city memory.

On my first day in Namibia, I was stunned— The beauty here isn’t lively; it’s a sophisticated kind of solitude. · — Namib Desert Standing atop the world’s tallest red sand dunes, The wind shapes the sand into flowing lines. I suddenly realized: Nature can be a “minimalist” too. · Death Valley Black dead trees, white salt pans, orange dunes. No filters needed for photos here, Every spot looks like stepping into an art exhibition. That silence makes you lose track of time. · Desert meets the sea As the plane flew over the dunes, I saw where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean— Red waves and blue waves rolling together. At that moment, I held my breath. This isn’t just a view; it’s a miracle. · Etosha National Park The animals here aren’t just for show, They are truly “living.” Zebras line up crossing the road, Giraffes slowly emerge from the morning mist, Elephants drink water right in front of your car. This is what animals really look like. · — Why do I recommend Namibia? ✔ No worries about “overcrowded attractions” ✔ Every place feels like a sci-fi movie set ✔ Perfect for ultra-wide, minimalist, color-block photography ✔ The journey is wild, but emotionally healing · It’s not popular, it’s limited edition. Not soft, but stunningly beautiful. · — If you’re looking for a place to “escape the world” recently—come to Namibia. Here, you’ll rediscover the Earth and yourself.

#itinerarycheck First time in Vegas? Don’t try to see everything ,pick the hotels that are actually worth stopping for.

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 🫪.

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.

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.”

💎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

Travel Tips: Gas stations are scarce along the way; fill up the tank before departure; no public transportation available, self-driving only 4. Best Photography Times: 2 hours after sunrise and 1.5 hours before sunset for the most saturated rock colors; at night, you can shoot the desert Milky Way starry sky 🗺️ Three Core Routes 1. Badlands Overlook | 360° Danxia Panorama The highest point in the area, surrounded by colorful rock pillars in a ring. In the early morning, mist covers the iconic mushroom rocks, creating a full atmospheric vibe. Photography Tips: Use a wide-angle lens for panoramic canyon shots and a telephoto lens to compress rock layers; wear bright red, orange, or yellow clothing to contrast with the earth-yellow and orange-red rock walls for striking photos. 2. Fossil Valley Trail | Jurassic Archaeological Site The trail surface is scattered with numerous dinosaur bone fossils visible up close, but strict rules apply: · Maintain a 1.5-meter safe distance from fossils; no stepping on or climbing the rock layers · You may bring a small brush to clean off loose dirt for a simple archaeological experience; it is illegal to remove any fossils · The ground clay is soft; stay on existing trails and avoid stepping on soil slopes 3. Alien Canyon | Sci-Fi Filming Location The most famous spot in the entire park, with fluorescent orange, mint green, and creamy white multi-layered rocks interwoven, creating a surreal color clash like an alien surface. ⚠️ Safety Reminder: The rock walls are loose and prone to collapse; strictly follow marked routes and do not venture deep into the canyon. 🌌 Night Tour Exclusive: Desert Milky Way Starry Night Far from city light pollution, the entire wilderness reveals the full Milky Way to the naked eye at night. The rock pillars framed against the starry sky create a powerful visual impact. Photography Gear: Tripod, large aperture camera, headlamp; use long exposure of 10–15 seconds, ISO 1600–3200 to easily capture stunning star trails. Tips: The desert has extreme temperature differences between day and night; bring a windproof thick jacket for nighttime. 🎒 Essential Packing List · Clothing: High-top anti-slip hiking boots, windproof face mask, wide-brim sun hat · Water: Large capacity water bags with at least 3 liters per person; the desert has no shade and intense sun exposure, with a high risk of dehydration · Equipment: Satellite GPS/offline maps, camera + tripod, sunscreen with SPF 50+ · Others: Basic first aid kit, some dry snacks, trash bags (all trash must be carried out) ⚠️ Strict Safety Rules & Pitfall Warnings 1. Avoid during rainy season: Heavy rains frequently occur from July to September, causing flash floods in desert canyons; visiting during this period is not recommended 2. Drone Restrictions: Drones are prohibited throughout the protected area; violations will be penalized 3. Wildlife Encounters: If you encounter rattlesnakes or venomous lizards, stay still and slowly back away without disturbing them 4. Geomorphology Protection: Do not climb fragile rock pillars, carve graffiti, or move rocks; these billion-year weathered landforms are easily damaged 5.

I'm Aqin, a professional photographer, and also a travel blogger with millions of followers who has been to 26 countries (on a certain platform). 2017 was my first time visiting Thoddoo Island. Back then, the beaches of Thoddoo were still undeveloped. I remember when I emerged from a wild coconut grove, the scene suddenly lit up before my eyes. Oh my god! A whole stretch of Tiffany blue lagoon was spread out right in front of me. It turned out that the Maldives I had imagined looked just like this place~ Its beauty shouldn’t be confined to just my camera lens. I want to share this treasure island with everyone. Some say the prices in the Maldives need to be lowered. I want to say, the Maldives itself isn’t expensive. Spending a week on Thoddoo Island can be done for just a few thousand yuan per person. If you come in the off-season and just lie on the beach every day without going out to sea, splitting hotel costs between two people, honestly, you won’t even spend 3,000 yuan in a week. This is the real cost of living on a Maldives local island. I have witnessed it with my own eyes: paradise doesn’t have to be expensive. I have been to more local islands than most local workers. I know which island has the most beautiful trailing sand beaches, which coral reef has the most fish for snorkeling, which island’s lagoon looks the best, and which island still preserves authentic local culture. Every island has its own strengths and weaknesses. When I see the very popular Maafushi and Fulidhoo on social media, I feel that Thoddoo Island should not be overlooked. I want more people to see what’s here. If you want to learn more about this island’s travel tips, I will keep updating more travel advice. Photos 1-2-4-5-6-10 show the scenery of Thoddoo Island itself. Photos 3-7-8-9 show the trailing sand beaches near Thoddoo Island.

Na Bua Villa Chiangrai is located in Wiang Pa Pao District, a route connecting Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, making it possible to explore both provinces in one trip. This resort was created with the intention of bringing people back to experience the memories of traditional Thai ways of life. The connection between rice fields, lotus ponds, and a simple lifestyle inspired the creation of this resort. Guests can stay amidst true nature, enjoying peace, tranquility, and relaxation. It's perfect for those looking to escape the chaos and reconnect with the warmth of nature in a traditional Thai setting. The resort features a wooden bridge extending into the rice fields, giving a feeling akin to being in a 'Maldives of the rice fields.' Each villa is circular in shape, with interiors designed in a simple style that incorporates local woven crafts, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Breakfast is included and consists of simple yet delightful sets such as rice porridge, pan-fried eggs, bread with pandan custard, fresh avocado, along with fruit juice and fresh milk. Every dish is delicious, and enjoying it in the cool morning air is truly delightful. For dinner, I entrusted my meal to the resort, which served a set of local dishes. The sunset here is stunning, with a romantic atmosphere.

After visiting NYC around ten times, I finally made it to the Museum at Eldridge Street on my most recent trip—and I truly wish I had discovered it sooner. Conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, near Chinatown, the Manhattan Bridge entrance, and several downtown attractions, it’s easy to fit into your plans while exploring the area. While there’s typically an admission fee, booking a solo visit online can grant free entry, and I highly recommend doing so. I arrived early, right after it opened, and practically had the whole place to myself. The visit only takes about 15–20 minutes, but the interior is stunning. It’s beautifully preserved, peaceful, and has so much character. Watching the morning light filter through the exquisite stained-glass windows was one of my favorite experiences. Though small, this museum is truly something special. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

For Christmas 2024, I once again traveled with my church to Dallas, Texas, to attend a global conference. This marked my second visit to this city. During my first trip, the schedule was so packed that I barely had time to explore. This time, I promised myself to carve out some moments to truly experience the pulse of Dallas. The hotel was near the airport, and the roar of planes was a constant backdrop. One morning, I took a cab to the city center. As we drove, the cityscape gradually unfolded: orderly skyscrapers, slightly desolate street corners, and clusters of homeless individuals huddled on sidewalks, starkly contrasting with the hurried tourists nearby. To my surprise, I encountered quite a few Chinese faces on the streets, adding a touch of familiarity to this foreign city. Dallas didn’t leave a stunning first impression, but it carried a raw authenticity. The city wasn’t overly polished, yet it had a candid charm of its own. My first stop was the famous "Eye of Dallas," a glass sphere-like structure suspended in the sky, resembling an eye overlooking the city. From this vantage point, the city bathed in the golden hues of sunset, and the cold steel and concrete seemed to soften under the warm light. Next, I visited the "Hall of Thanksgiving," a place that pleasantly surprised me. The hall featured a towering stained-glass wall that seemed to fragment the sky into countless colorful pieces. Sunlight streamed through the interwoven blue, red, gold, and green glass, casting vibrant patterns on the floor and benches, as if God had accidentally spilled His paint. I sat quietly, enveloped in silence, with only the light in motion. The shifting shadows and colors, as time passed, transformed an ordinary afternoon into a solemn yet tender performance. This place bore no specific religious symbols and required no elaborate rituals. It felt more like a sanctuary for the weary soul. As I gazed up at the kaleidoscope of colors, an indescribable feeling welled up within me: the outside world might be noisy, harsh, and even cruel, but at this moment, I felt genuinely embraced by a gentle warmth. The light seemed to remind me—no matter how exhausting life gets, there’s always a place where one can pause, take a deep breath, and then move forward again. Of course, a trip to Texas wouldn’t be complete without barbecue. I made my way to Hutchins, hailed as the "pinnacle of Dallas BBQ." The restaurant was bustling, the air thick with the aroma of grilled meat. The brisket was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful—each bite a smoky, fiery delight. But... the plate was all meat, meat, and more meat! By the end, I couldn’t help but groan internally, "It’s delicious, but I’m drowning in meat!" 😤 This brief city excursion didn’t feature grand spectacles or thrilling adventures, but it pieced together a genuine portrait of Dallas: a mix of ruggedness and warmth, boldness and comfort. As night fell, I returned to my hotel near the airport, feeling that this visit to Dallas had brought me closer to the city than the last.

📍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.

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

Beiji Island: A secluded maritime paradise, Zhejiang’s last pure fishing village 【Preface】 In the vast East China Sea southeast of Zhejiang, there is a small island forgotten by time—Beiji Island. It lacks the fame of Nanji Island and the artistic vibe of Dongji Island, but precisely because of this, it preserves the most original fishing village charm. Here, there is no overdevelopment, no bustling tourists, only blue sea and sky, rustic stone houses, simple fishermen, and the purest island life between the tides. If you are tired of crowded trendy spots and want to find a place to truly unwind, Beiji Island might be the answer. 【How to Get There?】 📍 Location: Southeast sea area of Rui’an, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, about 38 nautical miles from the mainland 🚢 Transportation: Rui’an South Gate Pier → Beiji Island (one trip daily, about 2.5 hours) Ticket: 130 RMB one way per person (advance booking recommended) Departure time: 9:00 AM (subject to pier announcement) Self-driving: Navigate to Rui’an South Gate Pier, parking available nearby ⚠️ Tips: Boat schedules are highly weather-dependent; check weather forecasts in advance No cars on the island; mainly walking or renting electric scooters (about 50 RMB/day) 【Must-Do on the Island】 1. Stroll through Beiji Fishing Village and feel the traces of frozen time The heart of Beiji Island is Beiji Fishing Village, where most houses are built of stone, nestled on the hillside in a staggered layout. In the early morning, fishermen return from the sea, and the lively fish trading scene at the pier makes you feel as if you’ve stepped back decades into fishing village life. 📸 Recommended photo spots: Lighthouse Road: The stone path leading to Beiji Lighthouse, flanked by stone houses and wildflowers, perfect for artistic shots Fishing Harbor Pier: Fishing boats returning at sunrise, with interplay of light and shadow, full of life atmosphere 2. Climb Beiji Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the East China Sea Beiji Lighthouse is the island’s highest point and one of the easternmost lighthouses in the East China Sea. From the top, you can enjoy a 360° unobstructed sea view, and on clear days, even see distant Nanji Island. 🌅 Best viewing time: sunrise or sunset 3. Discover the “Blue Tears” phenomenon (summer only) From May to August each year, the coastline of Beiji Island occasionally shows the “Blue Tears” (a bioluminescent plankton). At night, when waves hit the shore, the glowing blue light flickers like stars falling into the sea. 📍 Best viewing spot: Guoshu Yu Beach (check tide times with local fishermen in advance) 4. Tide pooling and fishing—be a fisherman for a day Beiji Island’s marine life is abundant. At low tide, you can dig for oysters, sea snails, and crabs on the rocky shore. If you like fishing, you can rent a small boat to go out to sea and experience real fisherman life. 🎣 Recommended experiences: Tide pooling (bring your own tools and gloves) Night squid fishing (summer special, super fun!) 5. Enjoy an authentic seafood feast The island’s seafood is freshly caught and cooked, affordable and delicious. Recommended dishes: Steamed wild yellow croaker (tender meat that melts in your mouth) Scallion oil razor clams (plump and juicy, local specialty) Seaweed and dried shrimp soup (Beiji seaweed is famous far and wide) 🍽️ Recommended restaurants: Fisherman’s Family Food Stall (near the pier, great value) Grandma’s Seafood Noodles (30-year-old shop, broth is incredibly flavorful) 【Accommodation Recommendations】 🏠 1. Beiji Island Homestays (converted fishing village stone houses, 150-300 RMB per person) Recommended: “Listen to the Sea” Homestay (facing the sea, terrace with sunrise view) Feature: Stone houses are warm in winter and cool in summer, with the sound of waves at night ⛺ 2. Camping (best in summer) Guoshu Yu Beach allows tent camping, but confirm tide safety in advance 【Suggested Itinerary】 ✅ Classic 2 days 1 night trip Day 1: Morning arrival → fishing village stroll → lighthouse sunset → night fishing/tide pooling Day 2: Early sunrise → beach shell collecting → seafood lunch → afternoon return ✅ In-depth 3 days 2 nights trip Add island hiking, visit uninhabited islets (like Xiadao Island), experience fishing family life, etc. 【Notes】 Limited supplies on the island; bring snacks, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent Weak network signal, some areas only 2G, perfect for a “digital detox” Travel eco-friendly; please carry out your trash to protect this pristine sea area 【Final Words】 The beauty of Beiji Island lies in its originality and tranquility. There is no commercial hustle, only the truest island life. If you yearn for a slow life “facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming,” come here and be an islander cut off from the world for a few days. 🌊 “The sea breeze travels eight thousand miles; the place it comes from is home.” Beiji Island is worth your stay.

While others chase skyscrapers in Dubai, I prefer to delve into the folds of the desert; while others lie on the beaches in the Maldives, I dive into the deep sea to dance with schools of fish—this journey spanning two landscapes is full of unexpected surprises. In Dubai, I gave up queuing to check in at the Burj Khalifa and instead teamed up with a local guide to rush into the uninhabited area of the Liwa Desert. At sunset, instead of gathering around a campfire, I lay on the sand dunes watching the Milky Way spread across the sky. The wind blows the sand into flowing golden waves, and the occasional sound of camel bells in the distance is more beautiful than any city night view. I skipped the spice market in the old town and instead lingered in a niche café beside Al Fahidi Fort, watching an elderly man in a white robe brew coffee with a traditional copper pot. The bitterness mixed with the aroma of cardamom, as he told stories of Dubai’s transformation from a small fishing village to a metropolis. The coffee stains spreading on the paper coaster were the shapes of time. The most unexpected moment was at the pier near Jumeirah Beach, where I followed fishermen on a small wooden boat to fish, pulling up nets full of snapper with my own hands. Returning to shore at dusk, the restaurant cooked the catch fresh. The salty freshness of the sea mixed with the lemon’s fragrance gave a satisfaction that no hotel feast could match. Flying to the Maldives, I skipped the overcrowded popular islands and chose a niche atoll with only three overwater bungalows. There was no infinity pool for social media check-ins, but a private walkway led to the deep sea. Early in the morning, I fed fish with breadcrumbs, surrounded by thousands of colorful parrotfish around my ankles. Sunlight penetrated the water, turning the sea into scattered diamonds. In the afternoon, instead of lying on a beach chair, I rented a glass-bottom boat to drift over an uninhabited coral reef, watching small sharks swim among pink corals and giant sea turtles resting on the reef rocks, as if stepping into an underwater fairy tale. The most romantic moment at night wasn’t a beach dinner but pitching a tent on the terrace of the overwater bungalow, listening to the rhythm of waves hitting the shore. Looking up, the Milky Way shone without light pollution, and occasional shooting stars connected the deep sea and night sky into a galaxy. This journey had no checklist, only surprises encountered at will. The desert in Dubai taught me to feel the tenderness within ruggedness, and the deep sea in the Maldives helped me understand the passion within tranquility. The collision of these two beauties created a special twin-city memory.

On my first day in Namibia, I was stunned— The beauty here isn’t lively; it’s a sophisticated kind of solitude. · — Namib Desert Standing atop the world’s tallest red sand dunes, The wind shapes the sand into flowing lines. I suddenly realized: Nature can be a “minimalist” too. · Death Valley Black dead trees, white salt pans, orange dunes. No filters needed for photos here, Every spot looks like stepping into an art exhibition. That silence makes you lose track of time. · Desert meets the sea As the plane flew over the dunes, I saw where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean— Red waves and blue waves rolling together. At that moment, I held my breath. This isn’t just a view; it’s a miracle. · Etosha National Park The animals here aren’t just for show, They are truly “living.” Zebras line up crossing the road, Giraffes slowly emerge from the morning mist, Elephants drink water right in front of your car. This is what animals really look like. · — Why do I recommend Namibia? ✔ No worries about “overcrowded attractions” ✔ Every place feels like a sci-fi movie set ✔ Perfect for ultra-wide, minimalist, color-block photography ✔ The journey is wild, but emotionally healing · It’s not popular, it’s limited edition. Not soft, but stunningly beautiful. · — If you’re looking for a place to “escape the world” recently—come to Namibia. Here, you’ll rediscover the Earth and yourself.
