Egyptians speak of the story of Khan El-Khalili with historical reminiscence and pride in their national essence. Cairo's old city's Hussein Square is situated between the sacred Al-Azhar Mosque and the Imam Hussein Mosque. Historically, this was one of the urban centers during the Mamluk era! At that time, Cairo was exactly at the crossroads of the trade route extending from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea! In the 14th century, Egypt's rulers chose this geomantically auspicious site, ordered the demolition of nearby cemeteries, concentrated the country's folk artists and various craftsmen here, and according to the division of each industry into its own street and alley, built what would later become the famous traditional craft market of Egypt known throughout the Middle East and the world. To this day, the alleys of Khan El-Khalili still retain their original names. Even today, this market with a strong Islamic ambiance is still composed of thousands of individual small shops distributed along dozens of small streets and alleys. The market still retains the shopping environment and atmosphere of the Middle Ages in its narrow paths. The goods sold range from gold and silver jewelry, copper plates, stone carvings, leather goods to traditional Egyptian handicrafts, offering everything one could wish for, not to mention those tacky toy camels and pyramids and sphinxes made of alabaster. The very popular archway can navigate to the Omkalthoum Bar & Restaurant, just around the corner, but don't have too high hopes for the scenery and portrait photography. The attitudes of the owners of these two shops are very unfriendly, they will chase away and block tourists who are taking photos. Actually, I don't find anything wrong with this behavior at all, after all, different people have different ways of doing business and attitudes. I thought that buying something from their shop would allow me to take photos, but it wasn't the case. After we made our purchases, we thought we could take a few photos, but the shopkeeper still refused to move away. Not only did they refuse to move, but they also had a very unhappy look on their faces. But that's okay, they never said that buying something entitled you to take photos. In the end, I took a few shots with a telephoto lens. But what's more outrageous is that the item we bought was fine when we looked at it, but after the shopkeeper packaged it and gave it to us, we found it was broken when we got back to the hotel, and the broken part was glued back together (proving it wasn't damaged on the way back to the hotel). To be honest, if you want to take photos and check in, you can spend an evening browsing around, but if you want to buy something, I wouldn't recommend coming here~ Khan El-Khalili Market

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‼️ #JiangxiTravel #ShangraoTravel #ShangraoGuide #ShangraoTourism #Wangxiangu #SanqingMountain #WuyuanTravel #Huangling #NationalGeographic #TravelGuide

Take the Hoshinoya shuttle bus or taxi from the station and it only takes about 10 minutes to reach the HOSHINOYA reception desk in the Karuizawa Hoshinoya area. Not only this HOSHINOYA, but also other properties visited (such as Fuji and Tokyo) have adopted the concept of separating the reception desk and the front desk. This is relatively novel and can create a strong resort feeling, as if you have entered the hotel. The front door of Hoshinoya is completely isolated from the world🍁 The service starts from the moment of welcoming guests. The reception area is quite low-key and small. The walls are decorated with old photos of Hoshino's pioneering work in the Karuizawa area. A service staff began to perform on a copper percussion instrument in the corner of the room, and the welcome drink was grape juice 🥂 instead of tea as I imagined. After filling out a simple form, the check-in procedure is completed. At this point, Hoshinoya has also removed the credit card pre-authorization link, making the check-in procedure more enjoyable. After checking in, guests need to take a special car to move to their room. The service staff enthusiastically introduced the facilities in the area and the precautions for the guest rooms, and sent a map and activity list of the hotel area. It really felt like a resort. What was even more gratifying was that the map and activity arrangements were corresponding. Chinese version. There are a total of 77 guest rooms in Hoshinoya Karuizawa🏨, which are roughly divided into three types: water houses near the water, mountain-facing rooms on higher ground, and villas with courtyards. Each type is divided into single-family and single-family rooms. Stacked type. If you have enough budget, it is recommended to experience a single-family water wave house. It is surrounded by water on many sides and is an unbeatable choice in terms of landscape.

Chengdu has really entered winter with the push of a button ❄️ I took my child to escape the hustle and bustle of the city during the National Day holiday, so I chose the Sweet Potato Vine Resort Hotel near Chengdu. The hotel is located in the Sancha Lake Scenic Area, with a beautiful blend of nature and culture. The fresh white style and green plants are pleasing to the eye. The holiday vibe is full, and you might think you're abroad. Each room has a separate yard and hot spring pool♨️, which is clean, sanitary, and private. The 200-square-meter room is really big and suitable for active children. The home furnishings are exquisite and of good quality. The indoor playground and outdoor play facilities are very complete, and you can completely free your hands to walk the baby. You can also make an appointment to bake 🧁 cakes, pizzas 🍕, biscuits 🍪, etc. ⋯• The pizza 🍕 made by the children is delicious! The hotel actually prepares supper and beer 🍻 After eating supper, go back to the room and take a bath♨️ You can enjoy the view of Sancha Lake while soaking in the hot spring♨️ in the yard. This is not a holiday atmosphere‼️
