Not Switzerland! I found a fairy tale secret place in Yunnan. I've been to Yunnan n times.
Not Switzerland! I found a fairy tale secret place in Yunnan.
I've been to Yunnan n times,
and finally went to Xueda Lake, which I've wanted to visit for a long time.
This is the only place in Shangri-La
where you can see the reflection of Meili Snow Mountain
and the golden mountain at sunrise.
There are very few tourists, and it's a beautiful secret place hidden in the mountains.
How to get there?
Navigate directly to Shuoda Village.
Route: Shangri-La - Benzilan - Deqin County - Foshan Township - Shuoda Village,
about 250 km, 5 hours.
The whole journey is on paved roads. The hardest part is the 50-minute drive up the mountain. Although it's a cement road, the winding and narrow roads are still challenging. New drivers should not try it easily.
Accommodation
Stay in Shuoda Village. If you want to see the golden mountain at sunrise, it's recommended to stay in Shuoda Village. Although it's a small village, the accommodation is still good.
Cost: about 600
Stay in Foshan Township. If you don't want to see the golden mountain at sunrise, you can stay at the foot of the mountain, which is Foshan Township.
Cost: 100–200
Travel time
The weather is stable in autumn and winter, and the chance of seeing snow-capped mountains is higher.
The trees have also turned yellow recently, so you can take pictures of both the snow-capped mountains and the autumn scenery. The yellow trees are expected to last until November, so hurry up!

Visit Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou and take a cable car to a concert.
Fanjing Mountain is a paradise of natural wonders. Take the Sante cable car to the top of the mountain and start your exploration. The cable car slowly ascends, and the scenery outside the window changes constantly, like a vivid nature documentary. Here, you can see a variety of rare plants that thrive in the mountains, creating a green world. The attractions of the Sky City, Red Cloud Golden Summit, Mushroom Stone, Old Golden Summit, and Wanbao Rock are the highlights of this documentary. Each of them shows its unique charm, whether mysterious, peculiar, majestic, or simple, all of which are fascinating. In Fanjing Mountain, it is a dream boat that shuttles between heaven and earth.

Shanghai | This place is absolutely beautiful this week.
Last year, I visited Huakai Haishang Ecological Park for the first time, and I couldn't forget the beautiful scenery there. This year, I decided to go again. From early November, the kochia began to change color, with red, orange, yellow, and green interwoven together, looking both lovely and unique. By mid-November, although most of them had turned red, they were still colorful. The whole garden was surrounded by warm tones, like a fairy tale world.
There are many viewing platforms and winding paths in the park. You can overlook the whole garden from a high place or get close to the charming kochia. In addition, pink muhly grass and other colorful flowers are scattered among them, which are very suitable for taking photos.
Huakai Haishang Ecological Park is located in Xiujing Village, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, and is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm every day. The ticket price is CNY 30, which can be purchased online in advance or on-site. In terms of transportation, it is recommended to take the high-speed train from Shanghai Hongqiao Station to Jinshan North Station, which takes only 18 minutes and costs about CNY 22. After leaving the station, it is less than 3 kilometers from the destination, and it costs about CNY 20 to take a taxi.

Shangri-La will punish anyone who doesn't do their homework...
One day, you'll find yourself in Shangri-La for any reason.
The place closest to "heaven" is truly beautiful.
Here's a travel guide for Shangri-La.
✅ Sleep in
✅ Take great photos
✅ No backtracking
.
🗺️ Route
d1 Dajingfan → Dukezong Ancient Town
d2 Songzanlin Monastery → Napa Lake → Black Bean Coffee
d3 Pudacuo National Park
.
day1
➡️ Dajingfan
Arrive at Dajingfan around 12:00, when the lighting is best for photos. We recommend wearing Tibetan clothes for the best photos.
➡️ Dukezong Ancient Town
We recommend these shops: "Sangji Weina Vintage Bookstore, Old Tibet, and Pugu Cang." They're all great to visit. The classic photo spot in the ancient town is shown in picture 2. Navigate to "Zangjiwang Inn" and then go to Guishan Park to overlook the ancient town and spin the prayer wheel.
.
day2
➡️ Songzanlin Monastery
Known as the "Little Potala Palace," it is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan. It's a great place for photos! Highly recommended!
➡️ Napa Lake - Black Bean Coffee
The view from the window is stunning, and there's a healing little farm! Take bus No. 3 from Songzanlin Monastery to Hongtaiyang Square Station, then take bus No. 12 to Napa Lake. Bus No. 12 is a loop line, with the starting and ending points both at Hongtaiyang Square. Get off at Napa Lake when you see the beautiful scenery. Take bus No. 12 back to Jiantang Police Station (near the north gate of the ancient town).
.
day3
It's easy to get altitude sickness when you first arrive, so we recommend staying around the ancient town. On the third day, you can go further: Yubeng, Pudacuo National Park, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Meili Snow Mountain, etc.
➡️ Pudacuo National Park
Bus: Buy tickets at the Dukezong Ancient Town East Gate Bus Station (CNY 15 per person).
Self-driving: Navigate to the Pudacuo National Park Ticket Office. There are parking spaces at the entrance. The drive takes about 30 minutes.
.
🔖 Tips
❶ The temperature difference between day and night is large, so dress warmly. The UV rays are strong, and the weather is dry, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated.
❷ Try not to wash your hair on the first night. Eating less meat can help reduce altitude sickness. Open the window a little at night to improve air circulation, which can help relieve altitude sickness.

✨ Wenmiao Street
Wenmiao Street! Various interesting antique ornaments, but when I went, a retro street had already been demolished, and at the end was a red wall.
✨ Tianfu Source Bridge
To see the blue tears, don't go to South Bridge!!
The lights come on at 6:00 pm, and the photos are amazing. Be sure to bring a fill light and a viewing light.
✨ Tianfu Yantianwo Square
Across the street from Tianfu Source Bridge is a giant panda selfie spot, and there are some photo spots nearby that you shouldn't miss.
✨ Zhongshuge
If you have time, you can go there. It's about a 15-minute drive away. It's one of those places that you can skip, but you'll regret it if you do. The photos are amazing. I went there on the second day of my self-driving tour of western Sichuan.
Eat in the ancient town. The online recommendations are generally good.

6️⃣ Yuelu Mountain

Traveling with kids, rest is so important~ I chose the [The Luxury Collection Changsha Jinmao Hotel], which is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The hotel service is very warm, and you can rest well while traveling.
📍Location
It is very close to the subway station, and the subway line 2 goes directly to it. Next to it is the Meixi Lake Art Center, which is very close to Orange Isle, Yuelu Mountain, and the Chinese Knot Bridge. It is very convenient to take photos and check in. Wuyi Square is directly accessible by subway.
The hotel room is spacious, and the Meixi Lake Art Center is right outside the window, with a great view! The bath is Byredo, the bathrobe is flannel, and there is Asuri magazine!
The children's favorite is the hotel's pet park, where they can play for a long time: horses, deer, alpacas, lop-eared rabbits, piglets, etc. can all interact, and there is also a small playground next to it.
The hotel's infinity pool is really romantic, with a great view, and the gym and spa are also very good. The lobby bar combines elegance and modern design. When you are tired of playing, you can have an afternoon tea with both looks and taste. The design is full of Changsha culture, and you can see the little thoughts everywhere.
Restaurant🍴
The dining environment of the Wild Restaurant on the first floor is very comfortable, with a wide variety of food in the morning, and it is very delicious. My two kids are very satisfied with the food every day! The dinner buffet is very complete, with a variety of global dishes, and you can also eat local Hunan cuisine! There are also various internet-famous restaurants around the hotel.
I really love Changsha, wait for good weather, and set off again on a weekend~

🌊 My itinerary
I recommend renting an electric bike, you can tour the island in one day. If you want to see the sunrise over the sea, you can stay on the island for one night:
Lianchi'ao Beach (sunrise) → Mazu Temple → Meiyu Chaoyin → Rainbow Road → Ewei Shenshi Park → Ewei Marine Erosion Geological Park → Golden Beach (sunset)
✅About the attractions:
❶ Meiyu Chaoyin: Unique marine erosion landform and a beautiful wooden walkway over the sea, but it is now damaged.
❷ Lianchi'ao Beach: A very clean and delicate beach, also a great place to watch the sunset.
❸ Ewei Park: Unique marine erosion landform, stone steps over the sea, a masterpiece of nature, great for photos.
❹ Golden Beach: The longest beach on Meizhou Island, where fishermen cast their nets.
❺ Flower Sea: A large area of colorful flowers dancing in the wind, very beautiful.
❻ Rainbow Road: A long rainbow road by the sea, where you can watch the sunrise. Ride a little donkey 🛵 and take beautiful photos.
❼ Ewei Xian: A beach where you can watch the sunset, drink coffee ☕️, drink 🍺, listen to music 🎵, enjoy the breeze, and walk on the waves.
⚠️Tips
🌸 It is recommended to rent a small electric bike, which is convenient to go anywhere. Sightseeing buses on the island charge by trip.
🌹 Be sure to go when the weather is sunny, the scenery is more beautiful. It was a pity that the weather was bad when I took the photos.
🌹 The sun is strong by the sea, so take sun protection measures. Meizhou Island is not very cold in winter.
🌹 When eating at a seafood restaurant, be sure to check the price first and pay attention to the unit to avoid being ripped off.
.
Meizhou Island is not far from Quanzhou. If you go to Quanzhou, don't miss this place. It is a niche and romantic island. If you don't want to work, go to this island for a while, enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset over the orange sea, it's really relaxing~

🅿️Parking is available at the port, with a maximum charge of 50
🚢Take a ferry from Wanzai Port to Macau Inner Harbor Ferry Terminal
🚢The journey takes only 5 minutes, 🎫28
🕑Zhuhai-Macau
7:20 am-10:00 pm, there are many times to choose from
🕑Macau-Zhuhai
7:10 am-9:45 pm, plan your time well for a day trip to Macau
There is a shuttle bus after passing the customs, which is very close to Taipa
📝Why is this port suitable for people with kids? Because you need to go through the manual window with kids, and there are more people at the manual window at other ports during the weekend peak. I went there on Saturday, and it was around 11 o'clock, and there were only 3 or 4 people in line, so I passed the customs smoothly.
This time, I mainly wanted to check in at the Parisian Macao lawn with my sister.
💕Surprisingly, there was a giant fat dragon on the lawn, which is perfect for taking photos.
Choose a good weather, with blue sky and white clouds and a pink fat dragon.
The fat dragon also has its own little tricks, with many interactive poses, recommended for check-in.
📷A fat dragon holding an umbrella for you
📷A fat dragon reading a book with you
🤳A fat dragon taking selfies with you
📷A fat dragon eating 🍔 with you (my sister refused to take a photo with this one 😩)
🔍My sister went to see every fat dragon with its mouth open, which was so funny. She probably wanted to see if it had cavities🦷🤣

travelholicชีวิตติดเที่ยว Beijing Metro Line 3 Finally Opens After Half a Century
On December 15, 2024, Beijing Metro Line 3 finally opened after 60 years of waiting 🎉
I had seen the reserved mysterious platform at Dongsi Shitiao 🚉
The metro line was first proposed in the 1970s
After 60 years, it finally returned to the Beijing metro network family~
Beijing Metro Line 3, like Lines 1 and 2, is one of the earliest planned lines in Beijing
In 1956, five Soviet experts came to Beijing and guided the drawing of the earliest Beijing metro plan
When Dongsi Shitiao Station on Line 2 was built in 1971, the platform and concourse of Line 3 were reserved under the concourse
Completed in 1984, it was rated as one of the top ten buildings in Beijing in the 1980s, and the only underground building among them
I remember last time I went to Chengde, I had to take a taxi to Chaoyang Station 🚕
Now the metro is seamlessly connected to 🚄 Chaoyang Railway Station, which is very convenient 🎉
If you like taking photos, you must visit Chaoyang Station
The newly opened west square and concourse of Beijing Chaoyang Station are a bit like Daxing Airport ✈️
The Chaoyang Comprehensive Hub Transfer Station is composed of a single-layer steel box girder reticulated shell structure, which is very spectacular 😮
There are also signs of meeting points on the pillars of Chaoyang Station on Line 3
It's so convenient to meet up with friends, such a thoughtful design ♥️
Quanzhou | I visited Quanzhou twice and only took 9 photos.
| I visited Quanzhou twice and only took 9 photos. I visited Quanzhou twice this year, but unfortunately, both times I encountered a typhoon, and the sky was always overcast. Fortunately, the red walls and orange tiles of old Quanzhou are warm colors even without sunlight.
-
1️⃣ The red wall of Kaiyuan Temple. I saw many travel photographers standing in front of the red wall to take close-up shots. Actually, if you take a step back and include the roof of Kaiyuan Temple with its Minnan architectural style, it will look even better.
2️⃣ The Song Dynasty Twin Pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple. This is a medium telephoto aerial shot.
3️⃣ The rooftop of West Street. Many cafes or restaurants along the street have rooftops or window views facing Kaiyuan Temple, where you can overlook the bustling crowds and gaze at the twin pagodas.
4️⃣ The rooftop of Rezen Hotel.
5️⃣ Aerial view of Zhongshan Middle Road. I really like this arcade pedestrian street, with the clock tower in the distance.
6️⃣ Aerial view of Chaotianmen. The orange rooftops of old Quanzhou are truly beautiful!
The above 6 places are all in the old city of Quanzhou, and you can explore them on foot or by riding a shared bike.
-
7️⃣&8️⃣ Luojia Temple built on the sea. Before the typhoon arrived, the white waves crashed against the temple's embankment, creating a stunning aerial view! The location for photo 7 is on the rocks next to the Guanyin statue on the west side. Be sure to check the tide times in advance, as the rising tide may cause waves to hit the rocks.
9️⃣ Wulin Traditional Village. In addition to traditional Minnan architecture, Western-style buildings also make great photos.
-
What I like most about Quanzhou is that West Street and Zhongshan Road Arcade Street intersect at the clock tower. The two different styles converge here without any sense of incongruity, adding to the charm of the ancient city. Perhaps this is the unique charm of Quanzhou as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and a place where Eastern and Western cultures blend.
-
I saw such a magical olive tree in Foshan for the first time. It is accessible by subway.
It is located in "Zhi'an Garden" in the Flower World of Chencun, Foshan.
Take Foshan Metro Line 2 to "Flower World" Station, and walk a few minutes from Exit C.
Olive trees are planted here.
The trees have a peculiar shape, and the branches are pruned into shapes.
The leaves are gray-green and white. 🤔
They look magical and special.
The photos are quite good, suitable for portraits.
"Olive Garden" is about 2 km away from here.
There are also olive trees here, and the lawn is green.
There are more than 10 Maitreya kapok trees.
The trunk looks like a vase, which is really cute.
Each tree is supported by several steel pipes.
When taking photos, try to avoid overlapping people and steel pipes.
It is more convenient to remove them in post-processing to make the photos look better.

✅ Anti-theft article
Always remember to bring a mobile phone lanyard when you go to London! It can greatly reduce the probability of being stolen my friend and I did not encounter thieves throughout the whole process ~
⚠️ suggest hanging a mobile phone lanyard ➕ dumpling bag in front of the body, it will be much safer!
⚠️ Keep an eye on everything you own. There are a lot of thieves out there!
⚠️ don't recommend carrying a backpack 🎒 easy to be stolen! Crossbody bags should also be in front of you to be ok
⚠️ Remember the fanny pack must be carried in front of you the whole time, once you go to the side or the back it can be dangerous!!!!
⚠️ pay special attention to not use the mobile phone should also be held firmly, or may end up with only empty phone case
⚠️ usually go out with only mobile phone lanyard, mobile phone, charging treasure, bank card, sunglasses lipstick sunscreen, etc., and student card
⚠️ In short, watch your mobile phone, bag and bank card throughout London! It's easy to lose things!
This trip to London has come to a successful end, the big city ➕ capital is really worth a visit! London has a lot of things that Edinburgh doesn't have, but the overall pace of the city is much faster than Edinburgh! Both cities are beautiful, long-lost bustle vs. quaint serenity, each with their own characteristics ✨.

Harbin Outfits｜A Southerner's Real Experience.
Today, I want to share with you my journey from Guangdong to Harbin, the land of ice and snow! As a southern girl who has never seen snow, I was so excited, even more than seeing a screen full of red envelopes! 🧧✨
👀 At first, I was anxious, afraid that I wouldn't be warm enough. After all, temperatures below zero are like an alien world to us! 🌌 So, I searched for at least 100 outfit guides online, and you know what happened... My shopping cart was full, and it felt like I was moving house, not packing! 🧳💸
But! After some practice, I found that it wasn't necessary to be so exaggerated! 🙅♀️ Here are my Harbin warmth tips, guaranteed to keep you stylish and warm! 🐶💨
First, remember: layering is key! 👑 Thermal tops are a must-have, like being wrapped in a warm cloud, no matter how cold the wind is! 💨💖 Cotton pants are also essential, don't think jeans can withstand the cold, that's just self-torture! 😅
As for outerwear, a windproof and warm down jacket is enough, don't bring too many, it's a burden! 🧥 The key is to pair it with windproof clothing, gloves, earmuffs, masks, and scarves, don't miss any of these accessories, especially for your ears and feet, we southerners can't stand the cold! 👂🦶
As for shoes, I suggest buying them in the northeast, at least one size larger, because you'll need to put warmers and thick socks in your snow boots! 🧦👢 I found snow boots at the shopping mall opposite St. Sophia Cathedral for only 59 yuan, a great deal! And they're super warm, more practical than those so-called "professional outdoor" ones online!
💕 Speaking of group tours, if it's your first time in the northeast, especially for us southerners who are unfamiliar with the north, I highly recommend joining a small group tour, it's worry-free, cost-effective, and super fun! 👭 I spent over 2,000 yuan for 5 days, and enjoyed skiing in Yabuli, snowmobiling, and the ice and snow in Snow Town, with a free set of six skiing essentials, which would have cost a fortune on-site! 💰🏂
The itinerary was also great, full but leisurely:
D1: Arrive in Harbin, the snow is breathtaking! 🛫❄️
D2: Head north, the rime corridor of the Yaxue Highway, the Ten-Mile Gallery, and the night view of Snow Town, every frame is a wallpaper! 🖼️🌌
D3: The charm of Hengdaohezi, the majesty of the Northeast Tiger Park, horse-drawn sleds, and snow tea, a true taste of the northeast! 🐯🍵
D4: Skiing in Yabuli, I fell a lot, but the feeling of speeding down the slope was exhilarating! 🏂💨
D5: Harbin city, the European architecture of Central Street, the solemnity of St. Sophia Cathedral, the historical feel of Binzhou Railway Bridge, every step is enchanting. 🏛️🛤️
💗 Finally, I want to say, cities with snow are so romantic! Take your partner and experience the pure beauty! 💏💕
Remember, no matter how cold the weather is, as long as there's love in your heart, everywhere is a warm harbor! 💖🌨️
Compared to Jingdezhen, I prefer this small city listed by National Geographic
Having traveled to many places in Jiangxi, if you ask me to recommend one must-visit destination, I would suggest Shangrao. This small city, recognized by National Geographic, features Huangling, one of China's most beautiful villages, and Sanqing Mountain, a Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, along with many other hidden gems. It's truly worth spending a few days exploring.
📚 Travel Guide:
🚩 4-day, 3-night itinerary (see route in P4‼️)
🔸Day 1: Take a high-speed train to Shangrao Station → Wangxiangu, stay at Wangxiangu
🔸Day 2: Wangxiangu → Sanqing Mountain, stay at Sanqing Mountain
🔸Day 3: Sanqing Mountain → Huangling → Wunvzhou night view, stay in Wuyuan County
🔸Day 4: Hotel → Wuyuan Station, return by high-speed train
⚠️ For a more relaxed trip, consider staying overnight in Huangling as well, as the area is less crowded before 9 AM. After visiting Huangling, head to Wunvzhou for the night view. During the day, you can explore lesser-known ancient villages like Tancun and Sanyan Bridge.
📷 Must-visit Spots
✅ Wangxiangu (P1-P3): An ancient-style town built on cliffs, reminiscent of a fantasy world. It offers a unique atmosphere at dusk.
✅ Sanqing Mountain (P5): A Taoist sacred mountain and World Natural Heritage site, featuring stunning peaks, ancient trees, and misty clouds, showcasing nature's artistry.
✅ Huangling (P6, P7): Recognized as one of China's most beautiful villages by National Geographic, famous for its rapeseed flower fields.
✅ Wunvzhou (P8-P10): A must-see night view in Wuyuan, with magnificent architecture, bright lights, and spectacular fireworks. Don't miss the traditional iron flower performance.
📌 Tips:
❶ Wunvzhou is mainly for night views and not much to see during the day. It's close to the county, so staying there can save on accommodation costs.
❷ The distances between these attractions are not short, and public transport is not very convenient. It's recommended to rent a car and opt for a one-way rental, as the arrival and departure high-speed train stations are different‼️

A lesser-known photo spot in Macau that 99% of people don't know about
