The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly. Jiushen Bay's summer is waiting for you to push open this wooden door. -

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

| The Ultimate Sunset Photography Spot. OMG, guys! Watching the sunset at Foshan Longwan Bridge feels like stepping into a Monet painting! This absolutely stunning spot deserves a top-notch photo guide, so here’s everything you need to know 👇 📍Address: Navigate directly to "Foshan Longwan Bridge." Parking is super convenient, making it road-trip friendly. If taking public transport, check the route in advance—just a short walk from the bus stop to the riverside for the best views. 🕙Best Time for Viewing & Shooting: Sunset times vary by season, so check a weather app beforehand. Arrive 1-2 hours early to catch the soft golden hour and the dreamy blue hour. In summer, sunset is around 18:30-19:00, so arriving by 17:00 is perfect. In winter, sunset is earlier (~17:00), so aim to arrive before 16:00. 📷Gear & Tips Gear: Use a wide-angle lens for the bridge and sunset panorama, or a telephoto lens for sun details. For phones, switch to Pro mode and bring a tripod for rock-steady shots! Composition: Place the sun at one of the rule-of-thirds grid points for an instant upgrade. Use the bridge lines or boats as foreground for max vibes. Pose by the river with the sunset as a silhouette backdrop—100% success rate! Exposure: Light changes fast at sunset. Lower exposure compensation on cameras or adjust ISO/shutter speed in Pro mode for stunning colors. Angles: Low angles highlight the bridge and sun; high angles capture the full scene; eye-level shots feel natural—all are photo-worthy. 👗Outfit Tips: Light colors like white dresses or beige shirts blend perfectly with warm sunset tones for a fresh, Japanese-style look. For retro vibes, go for red or yellow vintage dresses—instant Hong Kong film aesthetic. 💕Nearby Fun: Don’t rush off after sunset! Hit the lively night market nearby for endless snacks and local charm. Prefer activity? Stroll or jog along the riverside path—pure relaxation.

✨ A fairyland on earth where oxygen is scarce but faith abounds ✨ 📍 Location: Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province ⏰ Best Seasons: - September-October (Autumn scenery at its peak! Colorful forests + snow-capped mountain reflections) - May-June (Snowmelt season, alpine meadows burst into bloom) 🚗 Transportation Guide: - Chartered car/self-drive from Chengdu (approx. 12h drive, stopovers in Kangding and Litang) - Direct flight to Daocheng Yading Airport (altitude 4,411m, prepare for altitude sickness immediately upon landing!) 🎫 Ticket Tips: Entrance + shuttle bus ¥266 (valid for 2 days), electric sightseeing car ¥80 (highly recommended! Conserving energy for high-altitude hiking is key) 🌟 Hiker’s Paradise: Two routes to unlock breathtaking landscapes **Day 1 Long Route Challenge · Pilgrimage to the Three Sacred Mountains** Scenic area entrance → Zhaguanbeng → Luorong Pasture → Milk Lake → Five-Color Lake (approx. 7h round trip) - **Milk Lake**: A glacial lake at 4,600m with milky ripples—wear light-colored clothes for stunning silhouette shots! - **Five-Color Lake**: Mineral-rich waters shimmer in blue-green hues. Aerial drone shots reveal a gem embedded in the mountains; circling the lake three times for blessings is said to be miraculous. **Day 2 Short Route · Slow Travel Through Tibetan Culture** Chonggu Monastery → Pearl Lake → Mount Chenrezig (easy 2-3h hike) - **Chonggu Meadow**: Wooden boardwalks, Mani stone piles, and snow-capped backdrops. Rent Tibetan costumes for photos straight out of *I Belonged to You*! 📸 **Four Must-Capture Photo Spots for Wallpaper-Worthy Shots** 1. **Luorong Pasture**: Sunrise golden peaks + sunset golden meadows, with yaks and sacred mountains framing the shot. 2. **Chonggu Monastery**: Red walls, prayer flags, and snowy peaks—ask lamas to hang prayer flags for wishes. 3. **Milk Lake Boardwalk**: Capture the panoramic view from the lakeside vantage point. 4. **Five-Color Lake Pass**: Colors are most vibrant at noon—sunglasses are a must against UV rays! ⚠️ **High-Altitude Survival Guide** - **Altitude Sickness**: Take Rhodiola supplements 7 days prior. Carry oxygen cans (¥100/scenic area—buy in Chengdu!), glucose drinks, and ibuprofen. - **Gear List**: Windproof fleece jacket (-5°C + strong winds), waterproof hiking shoes (muddy in rainy season), wide-brim hat + UV-blocking sunglasses. - **Food Alert**: No restaurants uphill—pack chocolate/energy bars. Hot water stations at Luorong Pasture for instant noodles. - **Scam Warning**: Avoid "horse rides to the summit" (¥300-500, only halfway—the final steep climb still requires 1.5h hiking). 💌 **Hidden Gems**: Hang prayer flags at Chonggu Monastery while listening to lamas’ chants; photograph the Milky Way arching over the sacred peaks at Yading Village at dusk—unforgettable! Every step here feasts the eyes, every breath carries the weight of devotion. If you crave nature’s rawest beauty, Daocheng Yading’s holy peaks and lakes await your pilgrimage—an oxygen-thin but passion-rich rendezvous.

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

is absolutely the most stunning hotel in the city. Located on a small island by Jinji Lake, the Suzhou Four Seasons Hotel boasts the best position with 270-degree panoramic lake views that are simply breathtaking. The hotel features a neo-Chinese design. Upon entering the lobby, the scroll-shaped chandelier immediately catches the eye. The corridor connecting the lobby to the guest rooms draws inspiration from Suzhou garden window lattices. In the afternoon, sunlight casts beautiful shadows on the walls, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The rooms also embrace the neo-Chinese style with warm color tones. Many exquisite details stand out, such as the kintsugi blue-and-white porcelain screen that elegantly conceals the bathtub upon entry, and the delicate white porcelain decorations by the bed, exuding timeless elegance. The hotel's swimming pools are exceptionally designed. Suzhou Four Seasons offers both indoor and outdoor pools. The indoor pool is surrounded by lush greenery, with sunlight streaming in, bathing guests in a relaxing green oasis. The outdoor infinity pool provides even better views, directly facing Suzhou's landmark, the Gate of the Orient. There's also a children's pool and a water slide🛝 for fun. My personal favorite spot is the terrace of the hotel's buffet restaurant – it's the perfect place to unwind. On my first day at the hotel, I was treated to a spectacular sunset glow here, absolutely mesmerizing.

During my Guangzhou trip, I stayed at the New World Hotel, which belongs to the same group as Rosewood and is nicknamed "Little Rosewood." The reason it's called a contrast of styles is that the public areas exude the fashionable elegance of Rosewood, while the rooms feel more like a fresh and cozy home. Service The front desk staff were warm and professional, promptly adjusting to meet my needs. Everywhere in the hotel, I was greeted with friendly smiles. Dining The breakfast offered a decent variety, though the quality was just average. The in-room minibar's first round was complimentary (though it was all carbonated drinks). Wellness The outdoor pool overlooks residential buildings but features a large shallow area for kids to play. Right next to it is a children's playground, making it perfect for family vacations. Overall, the stay was quite pleasant, ideal for a city staycation.

Returning from Sanqing Mountain, the stunning beauty leaves a lasting impression. Rarely have I used the word "stunning" to describe a landscape before, but this time I finally understand why Mr. Dongpo praised it so highly. Stepping into Sanqing Mountain, you encounter jagged peaks and bizarre rocks, towering ridges upon ridges; lively waterfalls and streams, enchanting frost scenes; magnificent sunrises over seas of clouds, ancient trees and famous flowers full of charm, and thrilling cliffside plank roads. After rain, the mist swirls around as if stepping into a mystical fairyland; the sunrise over the sea of clouds is breathtaking, a rare earthly wonder not to be missed. The carefully planned route takes 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to experience the essence of the scenery: starting from Jinsha Cableway, passing Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, Penguin Offering Peach, Eastern Goddess, Azalea Valley, Jade Terrace, One Line Sky, Sunrise Villa, West Coast Plank Road, Pine Forest, Sunshine Coast Aerial Plank Road, Yuhuang Peak, Fox Biting Chicken, and then returning to Jinsha Cableway. From May 1st, the Sanqing Palace Scenic Area opens the Gangshou Cableway, providing direct access to the area for 1 to 2 hours of sightseeing. Early bird tickets are only 199 yuan, not to be missed. 【Transportation Guide】 📍 Located in the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, Yushan Station, or Yushan South Station, then transfer to a carpool or bus, about 1 hour to reach. The scenic area is open from 7:30 to 17:30. 【Must-See Attractions】 ✅ Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A giant granite pillar resembling a python, standing proudly after millions of years of weathering. ✅ Eastern Goddess: A girl with hair draped over her shoulders, naturally sculpted, showcasing nature’s exquisite craftsmanship. ✅ West Coast: The perfect place to watch the sunset, with picturesque views along the hiking plank road, every step a scenic spot. ✅ One Line Sky: A steep rise between cliffs, the narrowest part only wide enough for a person to squeeze sideways, full of thrilling excitement. ✅ Sanqing Palace: An open-air ancient architecture museum, gathering steles, pagodas, and stone carvings with superb craftsmanship. ✅ Azalea Valley: From late April to June, the slopes bloom with colorful alpine azaleas, a limited-time spectacular view not to be missed. 【Helpful Tips for Visitors】 ❣️ Cableway operating hours are 7:30 to 17:30; pay attention to the descent time to avoid delays. ❣️ Dress lightly, wear comfortable shoes, bring trekking poles and enough water. ❣️ The temperature varies greatly in the scenic area; if staying overnight to watch sunrise or sunset, bring warm clothing; prices on the mountain are relatively high, so prepare food in advance. ❣️ Frequent recent rains make paths slippery; elderly and children should be extra cautious. Always check the weather before traveling.
