A backpacker's paradise! You can pretend you're in Switzerland on a $500 salary?

Who says "poor" and "beautiful" can't coexist? Georgia smiles: the snow-capped mountains are pure gold, the wine is drunk by the barrel, the beef is dirt cheap, and even the Garden of Eden is half price! Here, you can live in a castle, soak in sulfur hot springs, and be blown away by the snow-capped mountains on a $500 salary, and still have money left over to buy a house - yes, not a fridge magnet, a house! Attraction and food price guide: The scenery in Georgia is the "top of the line" in Europe. 1. Tbilisi Old Town: A thousand and one stained glass churches are hidden in the winding alleys, and the puppet clock tower puts on a "bell-ringing angel show" on the hour, for free! But be careful not to be tempted by the smell of cheese bread from the old lady on the side of the road (10 yuan for a full meal). 2. Mount Kazbek: There is a lonely church at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, a hiker's delight! A round trip by car costs 150 yuan, and the wind at the top of the mountain is strong enough to blow off your wig, but a photo can be bragged about for a lifetime. 3. Batumi Botanical Garden: A tropical rainforest on the Black Sea, tickets are 20 yuan, and it's recommended to bring a date - after all, a peacock's tail is no match for the drama of you two showing off your love. 4. Holy Trinity Cathedral: The pure gold dome is blinding, and the view of the city from the top is free, but the cable car down the mountain is 2.5 yuan, so it's recommended to spend it, after all, shaking legs are not elegant. Dining guide: - Authentic Georgian food costs 30-50 yuan per person, with a platter of grilled meat + cheese boat bread + unlimited wine (local wine is 15 yuan a glass, just right for a tipsy view of the snow-capped mountains). - Mineral water is 3 yuan a bottle, but don't drink too much - sulfur hot springs cost 20 yuan a soak, and it would be embarrassing if you can't hold it in.
