Just came back from Guilin... I didn't make any mistakes during the whole trip 🫡 The best part of Guilin + Yangshuo‼ ️
1、Important things should be said three times! When you go to the store to eat rice noodles, don’t ask the price❗️Just tell the boss two taels of rice noodles! ! If you don't ask, it's 6 yuan. If you ask, he will recommend you the signature gold medal rice noodles for 20 yuan.  2、Don't believe the taxi driver who says he will give you a discount to take you into the scenic area. They do have ways, but they won't give you a discount for nothing. 3、Don't trust the aunties soliciting customers on the roadside in Yangshuo, you will be ripped off. 4、Don't buy things in the scenic area. You can buy the same souvenirs at the roadside stalls and stores outside, and they can be more than half cheaper.  5、It is recommended to rent a small electric donkey or bicycle to travel in the scenic areas in Yangshuo. The Shili Gallery will be so congested that you will doubt your life. 6、In Yangshuo, I really strongly recommend not to eat beer fish❗️That is tomato stewed fish. A fish will really cost you 600. It is recommended to eat at local chain restaurants. Chunji roast goose and other things are delicious and reasonably priced👌 7、You can go to Xingping Ancient Town to eat and play, but don't stay there 🙅It's a small town, and there's no one there at night 8、Don't rent a car near the scenic spot in Yangshuo. Compare more and you'll find a good value for money 9、Prepare raincoats and slippers in advance for Yulong River Rafting. It's more expensive to rent on site  ✅✅✅Recommend some correct ways to play ⭕️Any rice noodle in Guilin is delicious. Don't stick to the popular rice noodle shops ⭕️There is a [Big Beard Rice Noodle] in Yangshuo. If you're not a local, you don't know that his signature braised rice noodles are really amazing ⭕️Highly recommend [Haitian Rice Noodle Roll] It's not the kind of rice noodles in Guangdong. It's really amazing. It's so delicious that you lick the plate. His spicy sauce is very Guilin-style ⭕️Recommend [Vietnamese Rice Roll] in Tiexi. It's a long one, similar to rice noodles but different from rice noodles. The breakfast there can be said to be a one-stop service ⭕️Be sure to try the [Glutinous Rice] for three yuan each. Believe me, you'll be addicted! Personally, I think it tastes better than Guizhou! Recommend Nuoxiang Station👍 ⭕️There are many scenic cafes near Xiangbi Hill, which are worth a try and you can see the beautiful sunset ⭕️If you don’t want to be stuck in traffic in Yangshuo, rent a small electric donkey and bicycle to play ⭕️There is a Bingquan soy milk shop in Yangshuo, which is the childhood memory of many Guangxi people. The ice bean curd in it is delicious ⭕️You must drink grandma’s handmade milk tea, the best local milk tea brand in Guangxi. All of his signatures are what I like, especially the longan milk tea 💗I really think Guilin is worth a visit! It’s not the beauty in the filter, but the kind of beautiful sunset that you can enjoy in any leisure time when you take a picture of it. 🌄Other unknown places may make you feel like you are in a paradise❤️

Day1: Arrive in Sanya and stay at Sanya Bay.  We stay here every time we go to Sanya Bay. Across the road is the Coconut Dream Corridor Beach, where you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset in Sanya Bay. You can go to Yifenghe Life Plaza to try Hainan's special hot pot, coconut chicken, and their dessert, the island coconut milk parfait, which is delicious! ! Day2 Sanya Nanshan Tourist Area (5A)  Nanshan Temple is the largest seaside and Buddhist cultural tourist area in the country. The Nanhai Guanyin Statue is one of the iconic attractions in the Nanshan Tourist Area. The Guanyin Statue is 108 meters high (the largest Guanyin in the world) and stands in the sea, showing incomparable majesty and solemnity. From here you can overlook the entire South China Sea and feel the magnificent scenery of the sea and sky. If you don't know what to eat, you can go to the Sea Eye Market and try the Hongsha Food Stall. It is suitable for both adults and children. Their seafood is freshly caught and caught. Their pandan cake is very suitable for children's appetite. Day3 Xidao  It is very convenient to go to Xidao if you live in Sanya Bay. I have been to Xidao with my children twice and I like it very much. There are well-developed coastal bathing beaches, turtle beaches, Niuwangling, and fishing villages with fireworks and original ecology. The glass sea on a sunny day is super beautiful. You can take the K16 bus to Xidao Station and go there early in the morning. It is worth a day here. In the evening, you can go to the Sea Eye to try Qiongzhou dregs vinegar. Their hot pot is very special. You can drink the soup! ! You don't have to worry about your children not being able to eat it~
Pudong: From tidal flats to international financial center
Thirty years ago, Pudong was a tidal flat, but now it has become the financial center of Asia. As a history and culture enthusiast, I am curious about the changes in Pudong. The skyscrapers in the Lujiazui Financial District are a symbol of China's reform and opening up. The Oriental Pearl Tower, **Shanghai Tower and Jinmao Tower are three super high-rise buildings that stand side by side and have become the new landmark of Shanghai.** Shanghai Disneyland adds a touch of fantasy to the city, where both adults and children can find their own happiness. Pudong's development speed is amazing. It has witnessed the take-off of China's economy and also foreshadows a more brilliant future.

# Beijing798ArtDistrict  📍No. 2 Jiuxianqiao, Chaoyang District, Beijing 🚊Get off at Wangjing South Station on Metro Line 14 and walk about 1km 🚋You can take buses 401/402 to get there 🕙Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 - It is not an exaggeration to say that 798 is a pilgrimage site for young artists in Beijing. Various novel exhibitions and graffiti walls can be seen everywhere, as well as many stylish and popular coffee shops and restaurants, constantly convey a sense of freshness. Sisters who come to Beijing for the first time must check in‼ ️ - 🤫In order to avoid getting lost and repeating the route, it is recommended to follow the tour route so as not to waste time! Refer to Figure 2 route map‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️  - 👉751D.park #751 Art Space is one of the must-visit places. Although it is not in the 798 Park, it is a popular railway as a dividing line, so you can check in together. The locomotive and a series of winding large iron cans are a perfect place for taking photos‼ ️ Friends with plenty of time can consider checking in along the way! - I entered from Wanhong Road and then exited from Area A to end the trip👇👇👇Highlights‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️ ⚠️⚠️The recommended route is: Area F→Area E→751D.park→Area D→Area B→Area A ‼ ️It is recommended to save the route map in Figure 2 to avoid taking a lot of unnecessary detours  - 💡Tips: It will take a little longer to visit 751D.park than 798, and the geographical distribution is also wider. It is known as a gathering place for riders. Those who are familiar with motorcycle culture will not be unfamiliar with it. Old factories, abandoned trains, machinery, industrial oil tanks, strong metal temperament, very good for taking photos, friends who check in remember to allocate time reasonably  - 📍F District: Dream Plus, Shanzhongtian Art Center #Shanzhongtian Art Center - 📍E District: Graffiti Wall, UCCA Center for Contemporary Art #UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Bauhaus Square (Sculpture) #Bauhaus Square, Mirror Lake Art Space #Mirror Lake Art Space, Jiabaliu Design Store - 📍751D.park: #751D·PARK Beijing Fashion Design Plaza Locomotive Square, Old Lu District Square, Colored Containers, Train Tracks, Living 3D Museum #798/751 Living 3D Museum - 📍Zone D: M Woods Art Museum #M Woods Art Museum, Asia Art Center #Asia Art Center, Space Station, Ren Art Museum, 798 Opportunity Space, Can Art, Meilun Art Museum #Meilun Art Museum Saint Space, Xiaoke Theater #Xiaoke Theater, % Arabica Coffee Shop #% Arabica (M Woods Art Museum) - 📍Zone B: 798CUBE #798CUBE Art Center, Yue Art Museum #Yue·Art Museum, White Box Art Museum #White Box Art Museum, Fantasy Art Center #798 Fantasy Art Center·Barilin's Fantasy Journey, Sanyuan Contemporary Art Center #Sanyuan Contemporary Art Center, Name of the Rose - 📍Area A: Astronaut Reptile Club, Zhang Clay Figure Art Exhibition Hall, Arctic Coffee - 👉The most distinctive feature of 798 should be the art galleries and graffiti walls everywhere. If the weather is good, the photo output rate will be even higher. In addition to these, there are many creative markets and trendy toy stores from time to time. I personally think that Area E is the best to visit, and 751D.park and Area B are the best to take pictures‼ ️ Finally, I wish you all a happy time~ ❤️If you think it is useful, please click a little love and collect it! 👍
