Come to Beijing in early autumn, don't miss the Hutong Walk!  Not only beautiful, but also runs through Beijing's history and modernity, a super unique experience! It's perfect for a person to walk around for an afternoon! My route is 😗 ▶️Gulou—▶️Beiluoguxiang—▶️Shichahai—▶️Dongjiaominxiang  This route is the essence of Beijing's Hutong culture🧐 Under the subway Gulou Street, don't miss the punch-in at Gulou East Street, it's very Beijing-flavored!  Compared with Nanluoguxiang, Beiluoguxiang is more peaceful and suitable for a leisurely walk. Shichahai is the only open scenic spot with open water in the inner city of Beijing. The boat ride in autumn is beautiful! You can also come to skate in winter!  Dongjiaominxiang is the longest Hutong in Beijing. There are many Western buildings along the way, which is suitable for quietly feeling the history😭 ❤️tips❤️  - The whole journey is about 5km. Wear comfortable shoes, and the sun in Beijing may be very strong, remember to take sunscreen. -There are many photographers on Gulou Street. If you go out alone, you don’t have to worry about no one taking photos📸 - There are many specialty coffees along the way☕, I have sorted them out and put them in Figure 3, 🉑 Save it! - Yandaixie Street is right next to the Gulou, and there are many places selling small items inside, so it’s a good place to go shopping!

I had a great time in Guiyang for a few days🥳 The food, drinks and entertainment are all good and cheap. I will give you a guide right away 🚄High-speed rail: Guiyang North Station/Longdongbao Station (either is fine) I recommend Guiyang North Station because it is closer! 🏠Stay on the first day: near the fountain (very busy and close to many attractions, starting price) 🏠Stay on the second day: near Huaguoyuan (It depends on the distribution of the attractions you want to visit~ or it doesn’t matter if you stay near the fountain, they are not very far) I only write down some precautions for eating, drinking and visiting attractions below. You don’t have to follow my route completely. You can make your own choices 1️⃣Qianling Mountain Park  You can go to eat noodles in the morning and then go to the park Enter from the south gate and take the cable car🚡 directly to the highest point and walk down the mountain There are many attractions to see along the way (you must go to the zoo!) There are really many animals, all very cute and obedient Don’t feed the little monkeys on the roadside casually, they may steal things 2️⃣Qingyun Market  There are a lot of snacks and drinks there It’s quite lively. It’s recommended to go at night when the lights are on, it should be better It’s also fun to eat, drink and take pictures 3️⃣Dongshan Temple  If you take a taxi, it’s recommended to The intersection of Dongshan Road and Qixia Road It will be closer The scenery on the mountain is very good. Dongshan Temple is also very beautiful and good for taking photos It is also very comfortable to blow the wind on it 4️⃣City Walk Route Yuantong Street-Yantang Street-Provincial Government North Road  A street connected, all cute little shops, there are coffee shops, second-hand goods, and some accessories cat cafes. Anyway, there are many kinds of little shops The roadside is also very good for taking photos📷very atmospheric 5️⃣Jiaxiu Tower Recommend to go at night! Because it is not far from our hotel, we walked there It is still quite lively and good for taking photos. It is very good to take a walk after eating Photos are very good 6️⃣Caijia Street + Minsheng Road + Zhengxin Street  Three food streets are connected together. There are many local specialties If there are many people, you can try them all. The normal price is quite cheap 7️⃣Huaguoyuan (White House/Twin Towers) There is a large square in front of the White House. It is very lively at night. There are a lot of people. It is better to take photos after dark Go to the White House Square and you can see the White House and the Twin Towers at the same time ✨Then there are some food, drinks and fun! Guiyang is really delicious🤤 I feel like I will come again in the future Okay! I will stop here.
If I want to recommend a truly sparsely populated travel destination, I strongly recommend Pujiang County in Jinhua, Zhejiang.  Pujiang has few tourists, but it is the filming location of "Black Myth: Wukong", and it is also the "First Family in Jiangnan" granted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and many ancient mountain villages with few people and comfort. If you want to avoid the crowds, don't miss Pujiang:  🚶 Pujiang 2-day tour route 🟡 day1 Longde Temple Pagoda→Pujiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum→Longtan Ancient Temple→Xinguang Village 🟡 day2 First Family in Jiangnan→Songxi Ancient Village→Shangshan Archaeological Site Park  🎐 Must-visit attractions 1️⃣ First Family in Jiangnan 🎫 65r The most worthwhile place to visit in Pujiang is the Zheng family, where the fifteen clans lived together, which was granted the title of "First Family in Jiangnan" by Zhu Yuanzhang. Not only does it have a shocking group of Ming and Qing stone archways, but the wood carvings of the ancestral hall are also amazing.  2️⃣ Longde Temple Pagoda 🎫 Free This mysterious Song Dynasty pagoda was filmed in "Black Myth: Wukong". You must look up at the center of the pagoda and you will be amazed. 3️⃣ Longtan Ancient Temple 🎫 Free So far, I have been to the most Buddhist and non-commercial ancient temple. There is no merit box, free incense, free vegetarian meals... The monk master said: Buddha statues can be photographed. The temple is scattered with stone pagodas, flowers, cats and dogs. It is different from other temples. I don't want to leave after visiting for a long time.  4️⃣ Xinguang Village 🎫 Free Pujiang tycoon Zhu Kebin built an ancient rural manor here. You can visit the ancient building complex. The bench dragon in the hall is a Pujiang feature. 5️⃣ Songxi Ancient Village 🎫 Free An 800-year-old Zhejiang ancient village, ancestral halls, ancient roads, streams... Few people are comfortable.  6️⃣ Pujiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum 🎫 Free I came to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum specifically for the bench dragon. It is a special folk custom in Pujiang and very interesting🐉  7️⃣ Shangshan Archaeological Site Park 🎫 Free The earliest rice-growing civilization in the world was discovered here, which is 10,000 years old. The site park itself is also very beautiful, and many locals will rest on the big lawn.  💡💡 My travel tips 🚄 About transportation: It takes about 2 hours to drive from Hangzhou. For public transportation, you can take the high-speed rail to "Pujiang Station". You can take a taxi or bus to the city after leaving the station. 🏨 Accommodation & Food Recommendation: It is recommended to stay near the Longde Temple Tower, which is located in the Pujiang urban area and is convenient for travel. Must-eat food: beef clear soup, wheat cakes, and ice magnolia. Pujiang is such a low-key small town with few tourists. It is very comfortable to walk around and eat slowly.
