Lijiang Rover 🛶 Raft boat Tour
#falltrip
It is always impressive when we get closer to those spiky big mountains and being on adds an immersive experience! 🏔️
.
we decided to go from Xingping village to the famous 9 horses mountain 🐎.
I have to say it wasn't my favorite trip, I expected more.
Our hotel had a deal for about 200rmb per person that includes pick up from our hotel in the West Street Area (45 min to Xingping) and return. Not a bad deal but still not sure if it is worth the money 💰.
.
It is mostly nice to be surrounded by nature in a quiet raft boat without crowds around.
My Rate - 🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐
enjoy your trip !

Breathtaking Fairyland of China 🇨🇳
#wecreate
We've been all around and so far Jiuzhai Valley is one of the best places I have ever visited and seen. The water is serene with majestic mountains that surround the lakes. Whereever you are in China, I suggest that this must be and should be in your list to visit before you leave this country. This place is such a feast in the eyes. So go and experience it yourself.
HOW TO GET HERE:
1. Take a long distance bus from Xinnamen Bus Station in Chengdu. It will take you around 8-10 hours travel time and if it is during holiday time then prepare for longer hours on the bus.
2. Take the plane. It will only take you approximately an hour to reach Jiuzhai Huanglong Aiport.
Note‼️
1. If you're weak in dealing with altitude then I suggest you prepare yourself by taking some altitude sickness a week before you explore this fairyland. You have to be in your best health to totally enjoy everything.
2. It is cold there and misty so bring a raincoat and wear comfortable shoes and clothes.

Bo’ao Buddhist Temple
This stunning buddhist temple is located in the town of Boao, Qionghai city, on Hainan island. It is a must-see attraction for those interested in Buddhism and Chinese culture.
The temple is situated in a beautiful natural spot, surrounded by mountains and facing the sea. The environment is so nice, peaceful and serene.
I was struck by the impressive statue of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy. Visitors can make offerings of incense, flowers, fruits…
I absolutely recommend a visit to Bo’ao Buddhist Temple for anyone living or visiting Hainan island. It is definitely a nice place to explore and learn about Chinese culture while enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Three days in Yangcheng
My family and I recently visited Yancheng for the May holidays, and we were immediately struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the city. The residents were extremely friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
We stayed at the Atour hotel, which was conveniently located near the railway station. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay comfortable. We appreciated the helpful staff who went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant experience.
Traveling with young children can be challenging, but we managed to visit a couple of attractions during our stay. Our first stop was Water Street in Yancheng, which was a delightful cultural and scenic spot. We enjoyed learning about the history and traditions of the Haiyan people.
Our next destination was the Dayangwanshengtvyou scenic area, which was a beautiful natural park with stunning views of the mountains. We hiked along the trails, admiring the scenery and taking plenty of photos. Our children enjoyed playing in the sand and camping out for day, and we all had a great time.
Although we only had a few days in Yancheng, we felt like there was so much more to explore and discover. We definitely plan to come back and explore more of the city and its surroundings. Overall, our trip was a wonderful family adventure that we will always remember.

My First Flight on a Boeing 787-9: Economy
Join me on my first flight on a Boeing 787-9 with Juneyao Air as I travel from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Follow along as I take you through the economy experience, including seat comfort, in-flight entertainment, and meal service.
In this video, you will see the stunning Juneyao Air Boeing 787-9 with its 29 business and 295 economy seats. I was lucky to have a window seat with a beautiful view of the wing, and the legroom was comfortable. You'll also see the clean and spacious toilet facilities.
During the flight, I checked out the inflight entertainment and found a good selection of movies and TV shows in both Chinese and English. Unfortunately, the onboard Wi-Fi didn't work, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the flight.
The crew started meal service shortly after takeoff, and I got a box with soya milk, snacks, tissues, crackers, and a sandwich. Although the sandwich didn't taste great, the overall meal was decent.
Finally, you'll witness the beautiful descent and landing into Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. This was not only my first flight on a Dreamliner, but also my first time in Guangzhou.

As a travel blogger, I have been fortunate enough to visit some of the most fascinating destinations in the world. But there is one place that left a special impression on me, and that is the beautiful and vibrant 外滩 (The Bund) in Shanghai, China.
Spring in The Bund is simply magical. The cherry blossom trees bloom all around you creating a stunning pink canopy. The gentle breeze carries the sweet fragrance of these flowers, and the sound of nature is mixed with the constant chatter of people from different ethnicities and cultures. The vitality of this place is infectious, and you cannot help but feel energized the moment you step foot here.
When the sun goes down, the lights in The Bund come alive. The bright neon lights reflect on the Huangpu River creating a kaleidoscope of colors. The grandiose buildings around you light up, and you get the feeling of being in a scene from Blade Runner. This unique aura will take your breath away and will make you want to stay here forever.
Despite being a modern and ever-progressing city, The Bund remains deeply rooted in Chinese culture. This is evident from the architecture which represents a mix of traditional and contemporary styles. If you look closely, you will see the intricate designs on the walls of the buildings that reflect Chinese art and culture.
The diversity of the people in The Bund is also noteworthy. It is a melting pot of cultures, and you can see people from different parts of the world sharing their customs and traditions.

A Hiking-Trip Above The Clouds
One of my last trips of this year brought me to Chengdu's mountain range in the West of Sichuan. The mountain is called: Jiufeng Mountain, you can translate it to 'Nine Peaks Mointain'.
🏔️ We went in December, the start of the hike was in the snow. After hiking for three hours, we finally reached the top of the clouds and hiked above it. The sea of clouds was amazing and suddenly we had blue sky. Winter and summer in one hike!
🚗 Best way to go there is by car. It's quite rural, so no public transportation is available. Nevertheless there are hotels and guesthouses in the towns around it. You can also do it as a day trip from Chengdu, but better start before 6am to avoid the dark in the evening.
🎟️ Jiufeng Mountain has no entrance ticket, but a parking fee.
I hope next year we can see many more hiking peaks, more nature and more mountains! My next dream destination would be Nepal's mountains... ⛰️🏞️🏔️

ARTIFICIAL BEACH IN HANGZHOU?? AMAZING!!!
RAINBOW COLOR PICNIC AT THE BEACH!
one thing I love is that it’s so artificial and yet gorgeous. the waterfall, the boats, the price is so affordable, for so much fun. too bad I didn’t take more pictures, ( I better improve 🙈) you pay 38 yuan at the gate. and you can access anything you want to do besides the boat. the boats were 50 yuan which is affordable aswell. we decided to have a picnic at the beach just to make it more fun and creative, I would highly recommend this to anyone new to Hangzhou. there’s a deep gorge swing too that’s free, it has more mini swings too that can keep you busy, there’s water to swim in…. there are cooling waterfalls to see and relax on…. there are cute spots for pictures! like yoh, what else would anybody want??😅 but all in all, I had 100% fun. loved it, went there by didi, just type boashan scenic area on your didi app. thank me later 😚😚
