Beijing Dongcheng

Walking in the hutongs of Beijing in early autumn, it feels like Beijing😭

Come to Beijing in early autumn, don't miss the Hutong Walk! ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-6-2/1748832285167-image.png) 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 ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-6-2/1748832363200-image.png) 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! ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-6-2/1748832417601-image.png) 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! ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-6-2/1748832450209-image.png) Dongjiaominxiang is the longest Hutong in Beijing. There are many Western buildings along the way, which is suitable for quietly feeling the history😭 ❤️tips❤️ ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/2025-6-2/1748832472769-image.png) - 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!

Yunnan Dali

Dali: A poetic residence between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake

Dali is a city that makes people yearn for it. It has magnificent natural scenery and unique Bai culture. As a photography enthusiast, I am deeply attracted by the beauty of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. **The water quality of Erhai Lake is crystal clear.** ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749102160514.png) It is the most pleasant enjoyment to take a boat tour and enjoy the lake and mountains. The ancient city of Dali is well preserved, and the Bai dwellings, the reflections of the three towers, the wind, flowers, snow and moon and other attractions have their own characteristics. **The three towers of Chongsheng Temple are the landmark buildings of Dali. The thousand-year-old towers have witnessed the historical changes of Dali**. The Bai architecture and tie-dyeing craftsmanship of Xizhou Ancient Town show the unique charm of Bai culture. **Dali's food is also not to be missed. Rushan, Baba fish, bait blocks, etc. are all authentic Bai delicacies. Dali, a city that makes people linger.**

Zhejiang Hangzhou

Hangzhou West Lake: A poetic residence in paradise on earth

![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749102853346.png) "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", Hangzhou has a long-standing reputation. As a railway travel enthusiast, I took the high-speed rail to Hangzhou, and my first stop was of course the world-famous West Lake. ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749102818781.png) The ten scenic spots of West Lake each have their own merits, such as Broken Bridge and Residual Snow, Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, and Sunset over Leifeng Pagoda, which are all unforgettable. Stroll along the Su Causeway, enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains, and feel the humanistic atmosphere left by the Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo. ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749102836689.png) The ancient temple of Lingyin Temple and the grotto statues of Feilai Peak show the profound Buddhist culture of Hangzhou. West Lake Longjing tea is a specialty of Hangzhou. Taste a cup of authentic Longjing in Meijiawu and feel the artistic conception of "the breeze and the bright moon are priceless, and the nearby water and distant mountains are all affectionate". Hangzhou, a city that makes people yearn for.

Shanghai Xuhui

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.

Taiwan Taipei

Taipei: A blend of modernity and tradition

Taipei is a vibrant city with modern architecture and traditional cultural heritage. As a backpacker, I particularly like Taipei's convenient transportation and rich food. Taipei 101 was once the tallest building in the world. You can overlook the entire city of Taipei from the observation deck. The National Palace Museum has a large collection of precious Chinese cultural relics and is an important place to understand **Chinese history and culture**. ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749078674886.png) Ximending is a paradise for young people, with a variety of fashionable shops and food. Night market culture is a feature of Taipei. Shilin Night Market and Raohe Street Night Market are good places to taste snacks. Taipei's cafes and bookstores are also very distinctive, where you can feel the literary side of Taipei people. **Taipei, a city that makes people linger**.

Beijing 798 Art District | I have compiled the best check-in routes🔥

# Beijing798ArtDistrict ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749107628183.png) 📍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‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️ ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749107640582.png) - 👉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 ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749107664780.png) - 💡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 ![image.png](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/wangwenjie1314/markdown-to-image-r2/image_1749107682810.png) - 📍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! 👍

Guangxi GuiLin

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 eat rice noodles, don't ask the price❗️Just tell the boss that it's 2 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 ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871510263.png) 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 ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871521693.png) 3. Don't believe 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 in the roadside stalls and stores outside, and they can be more than half cheaper ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871538442.png) 5. It is recommended to rent a small electric donkey or bicycle to travel in the scenic areas in Yangshuo. The Ten-mile Gallery will be so congested that you 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 is delicious and reasonably priced👌 ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871550974.png) 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 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 ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871564027.png) ⭕️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 noodle roll in Guangdong. It's really amazing. It's so delicious that you lick the plate. His spicy sauce is very Guilin-style ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871573809.png) ⭕️Recommend [Vietnamese Rice Roll] in Tiexi. It's a long one, similar to rice noodle roll but different from rice noodle roll. The breakfast there can be said to be a one-stop service ⭕️Be sure to try the [Glutinous Rice Roll] 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 ![image.png](https://img.16781678.xyz/2025-06-14/image_1749871591370.png) 💗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❤️
