Macau boasts many indoor spaces perfect for photo ops. Here’s a guide to the best spots: Photo Locations • The Venetian Shopping Center: Located on the third floor of The Venetian Macao, this area features a lighted ceiling sky, charming streets, bridges, and lampposts. You can even ride a gondola, making it feel like you’re in Venice—a must-visit for photos. • The Londoner Hotel & Shopping Center: The hotel lobby’s Crystal Palace is grand and elegant, with fountains and a statue of Eros. The shopping center includes iconic British elements like double-decker buses and red phone booths. A platform on the second-floor corridor offers a panoramic view of the lobby. • Parisian Macao: The lobby’s beautiful dome and palace-style architecture exude European charm. The shopping center above the third floor is sleek and modern, ideal for photos. Don’t miss the chance to snap a shot with the Eiffel Tower replica from the hotel garden benches. • Morpheus Lobby: Designed by Zaha Hadid, this space features white and metallic tones with fluid lines and wall-mounted glass elevators, creating a futuristic vibe—a must-see for architecture enthusiasts. • Wynn Palace Shopping Area: Beyond the cable car and fountain shows, the first-floor shopping street is artistically decorated in opulent gold, making it highly photogenic. • MGM Sky Plaza: The exterior blends three colors, while the indoor plaza evokes the charm of Lisbon’s train stations. The giant cylindrical aquarium at the center adds a dreamy touch. • One Central Macau: The mall is filled with creative installations perfect for photos. The waterfront promenade hosts the "One Central Loves Macao" art exhibition and offers views of Macau Tower. The Poly MGM Museum here also showcases precious artifacts and artworks. Photo Tips • Use a wide-angle lens: Indoor spaces are often expansive, so a wide-angle lens helps capture more of the grandeur and unique features. • Play with light and shadow: Many hotel lobbies and malls have distinctive lighting designs. Use these to add depth to your photos—like the luxurious ambiance of Wynn Palace’s shopping area. • Incorporate props: At The Londoner Shopping Center, use props like red phone booths or double-decker buses to make your photos more storytelling.

Lahore is also known as the heart of Pakistan. A must-visit place when you come to Pakistan. I took a day trip in 40℃ heat. I was often stopped by strangers for photos... I really felt the fiery passion of Pakistan in every way 🔥 . 🇵🇰A Day Trip to Lahore 📍Badshahi Mosque The largest mosque in Pakistan 🕌 and also in the Mughal architectural style. If you visit during the day, be prepared for the ground to be very hot! You have to take off your shoes to enter, and white socks will instantly turn black🙈 . 📍Lahore Fort Just opposite the mosque, it is convenient to visit together. 💡Tickets are purchased at the north gate 🎫PKR 1,000 It was built in 1021 AD and is an architectural gem of the Mughal dynasty. A must-see is the Sheesh Mahal Lahore, which is also the gorgeous palace that Shah Jahan built for the Taj Mahal~ There is an additional PKR 100 entrance fee, and the Naulakha Pavilion is also here. Remember to check out the magnificent main gate, Alamgiri Gate, when you come out. . 📍Lahore Museum A very pleasant surprise! You can admire the Gandhara art treasures 🎫PKR 1,000 . 📍Anarkali Bazaar You can take a stroll here since it's near the museum. I found beautiful Pakistani clothes here! 👗 . 📍Shalimar Gardens If you have time, you can go. It was under maintenance and closed the day we went. . 📍India-Pakistan Flag Lowering Ceremony At Wagah Border, you must go early! Try to arrive before 4pm. It is now from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Enter one hour in advance. If you arrive late, you will not be allowed to enter. I didn't make it this time because of the traffic jam. Be prepared for the hot weather... . 🍴Restaurants 📍Haveli Restaurant It is on the street outside the mosque and is also a popular restaurant in Lahore. It is very hot during the day, so you can only dine indoors. The terrace is only open for photos. It is very suitable to sit on the terrace at night, where you can overlook the entire mosque. . 🏨Hotels 📍Hotel Nova Before coming, I was worried that I would be forcibly escorted or refused accommodation. This hotel confirmed in advance that I could stay and guaranteed freedom of entry and exit. The facilities and service are also very good! The only drawback is that it is a half-hour drive from the city center, but it is very convenient to call a car with inDrive, so it is completely acceptable. . 🚌Transportation Take the Faisal Movers bus from Faisal Movers in downtown Islamabad. It is a 5-hour direct trip to Lahore 📍Faisal Movers, Band Rd, Lahore I recommend the business class seat 🎫PKR 3,000! Water, food, and free Wi-Fi are provided 🆓 You can lie down the whole way and not be tired at all!

Half a month in Ili If I could choose again, I would undoubtedly spend more days exploring this provincial road in depth! This is the Tangbula Grassland, a hidden treasure yet to be fully discovered. Tangbula Grassland doesn't have a specific location; it spans a large area parallel to Provincial Road 315. Since it hasn't been overdeveloped, the scenery here is even more precious. If you can't get a 🚗 self-driving ticket for Nalati, I suggest skipping Nalati altogether and heading straight to Tangbula—you won't be disappointed❗️ 🌊 Mengkete Ancient Path Among all the self-driving accessible scenic spots in Ili, this is the only one that charges "per car," making it highly cost-effective. Snow-capped mountains, streams, grasslands, cattle, and sheep... Everything Nalati offers can also be found here. 🧚‍♀️ Fairy Lake Check out my previous notes 📒 for detailed tips. The lake's color is incredibly unique, and there are plenty of wildflowers along the shore. Although you can only reach it by horseback or hiking, it's absolutely worth it❗️ 🌳 Hundred-Mile Gallery Viewing Platform Here, you can capture the S-shaped stream. There's a long wooden boardwalk viewing platform, and aerial shots look even better. In fact, there are a total of 113 valleys along the Tangbula Grassland. Most of them haven't been developed into scenic spots and can only be accessed by hiking. Accommodation options are limited; the better ones are concentrated in the western Honeybee Town. The rest are tents and felt houses.

Walking on a prairie nearly 4,000 meters above sea level is a unique travel experience you can only have in China. The absence of commercial tourism here preserves its pristine nature, making our journey even more refreshing and precious. ▼What is this prairie called and where is it? This place is called "Bakatay," and we refer to it as the "Bakatay Cloud Prairie." Located in Guide County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, it has an average altitude of 3,700 meters. ▼Why call it the "Cloud Prairie"? First, the high altitude makes you feel like you're "in the clouds." Second, Highway G310 ascends continuously before reaching Bakatay, and the top of this road is the Bakatay Prairie—a vast plateau platform, a natural pasture on the highlands. Thus, calling it the "Cloud Prairie" carries a dual meaning. ▼What’s the travel experience like at Bakatay Cloud Prairie? -A grand canyon splits through the prairie platform Sitting leisurely on the grassland, you can overlook the entire canyon. The vastness between heaven and earth lies beneath your feet in the clouds—a feeling of pure bliss and freedom. -In summer, the prairie blooms with flowers, perfect for photography Strolling through the prairie in summer, vibrant flowers bloom everywhere, turning the landscape into a fairyland and a photographer’s paradise. 🚙Practical Tips for Self-Driving 📱Navigation: Set "Bakatay" as your destination 🛣️Road Conditions: Highway G310 near Bakatay is fully paved 🅿️Parking: There are rest areas along the road, and some spots allow off-road parking ⚠️Note: Prevent altitude sickness; avoid intense running or jumping ⏳Duration: Allocate 1-2 hours for exploration ▶️All photos are originally shot and produced by Mr. Some Dog & Caicai Juan'er. ▶️The above content is based on personal travel experiences; apologies for any omissions. ▶️Due to time constraints, some scenes may have changed; please verify on-site. ▶️All attractions visited by Caicai Juan'er and Mr. Some Dog are accessible by sedan. ▶️Address and location info are provided by the website; for more details, leave a comment. 🔸🔹🔸 Join Caicai Juan'er and Mr. Some Dog on a self-driving adventure to explore hidden travel gems.

When it comes to summer retreats in Zhejiang, Tonglu offers seclusion, while Qiandao Lake boasts vastness. Yet Jiande has carved its niche with the essence of "coolness": the Xin'an River, carrying the refreshing chill of Qiandao Lake, flows at a constant 17℃, its surface veiled in mist that further cools the senses. Finding a cozy spot to laze away the days is the ultimate antidote to summer heat. Jiande Country Villas—with their pools, courtyards, riverside villas, and breathtaking sunsets—present an irresistible proposition that beckons immediate departure. Perched at the confluence of three rivers, this ancient fishing village faces Wulong Mountain, Jiande's highest peak, and enjoys a prime location opposite the historic Yanzhou Ancient Town and the twin pagodas of Nanfeng and Beifeng across the river. This makes the villas not just a place to stay, but a scenic destination to explore. Jiande Country Villas sit at the intersection of the Xin'an, Fuchun, and Lan Rivers. If Erhai Lake is the soul of Dali, then these three waterways are the lifeblood flowing through Sandu. For centuries, they have nourished this land, fostering a half-mountain, half-water Jiangnan paradise. Navigate to Jiande Country Villas·Shankai, and you'll find it hidden within a scenic area transformed from a fishing village. Known as the "Nine-Surname Fishing Village," legend has it that its ancestors were deemed "lowly" by Ming and Qing rulers due to historical reasons, forced to live on boats without rights to settle ashore, take imperial exams, farm, or intermarry—restricted solely to fishing or transport. The village flourished here thanks to the strategic confluence of three rivers. It wasn't until the 1950s that the government resettled these waterborne communities, allowing the Nine-Surname fishermen to finally come ashore. They still preserve ancestral traditions like water weddings and the "Nine-Surname Nine-Flavors" cuisine. If interested, catch a grand Nine-Surname water wedding at the Sanjiangkou Pier every Sunday at 10:30 AM. The fishermen's painful past has evolved into a unique cultural heritage, while their once-forced settlement—now blessed with stunning landscapes—has been reborn as a chic resort. The riverside embankment offers unbroken beauty, with the villas occupying prime unobstructed views. Towering green mountains, rolling river waters, shifting sunlight, and misty rainscapes all unfold before your eyes. In summer, the spectacular sunsets are the most anticipated "once-in-a-lifetime" moments. The space here isn't overly polished or luxurious—it's rustic, warm, and comfortable. Like at a friend's or your own home, you can laugh loudly, relax freely, or gaze at the scenery through your window, savoring unconstrained moments. As the sign says, "unrestrained ease" is always the most moving.

Then head to Altay City, passing through Burqin and the S21 Desert Highway, crossing the Gurbantunggut Desert. The spectacular and breathtaking views on both sides of the highway! Don’t forget to climb to the top of the Camel Hump Scenic Area to see the night view. I really fell in love with Altay’s blue hour…🌃 - D3: Altay City ➠ Kanas Morning stroll in Altay city center: ✔️ Five Hundred Li Style Street ✔️ Altay’s Corner Travel Bookstore ✔️ Corner Little Travel Café ✔️ Kuran River Arrive in the afternoon at the divine backyard - Kanas, which includes Guanyuatai, Sanwan, Kanas Lake, and Baihaba.

Not far from the Qiaorma Service Area, we discovered a hidden gem - the Kashgar River S-bend, stunning and free! This highway, known as "China’s most beautiful highway," shows four seasons in one day, passing through canyons, Blue Heart Lake, waterfalls, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains—super beautiful! - D8: Urumqi ➠ Guangzhou On the return trip, you can still explore Urumqi. For food, visit Hetian Second Street, which is lively at night! For shopping, go to Jinquan Mall, and for specialties, visit Hongshan Dried Fruit Market. - ✨ Travel tips: 🔸 Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night and is dry, so bring windproof jackets, sunscreen, and moisturizing products. 🔸 Xinjiang is vast, so it’s recommended to rent a car or self-drive. Driving every day can be tiring, so this time I tried a group tour for the Northern Xinjiang loop and unexpectedly found a treasure small group "Shouju Qu Na’er." It’s a flexible and free 6-person small group with peers, pure play for 8 days, only 4k+ per person with great cost performance!!

Manzhouli, located on the China-Russia border, truly took my breath away. With its Russian-style castles and churches, my friends all thought I’d traveled abroad.

The vibrant buildings make for perfect photo ops. No need to enter the paid area—just snap pics outside. 📍 Bear Xiaoman Inside North Lake Park, you’ll find a giant pink strawberry bear.

The moment you push open the creaky wooden door, the phrase from Ji Cheng's "The Craft of Gardens"—"Though crafted by man, it seems born of nature"—comes to life. Ink from Mi Fu's brush seems to linger in the folds of Taihu rocks, while turning a corner in the winding corridor reveals a poem slip left behind by Wen Zhengming. This is no mere courtyard; it feels as though the ancients have sculpted the essence of mountains and rivers into a dwelling bathed in moonlight. 🪑 Sitting here, watching koi fish carry away Liu Zongyuan's verse "A single sound, and the mountains and waters turn green," one begins to understand what Wen Zhenheng meant in "Treatise on Superfluous Things": "Rocks evoke antiquity, water evokes distance." It’s not about landscaping techniques; it’s a philosophy teaching us how to let time polish life into a patina.

Looking up at it, I felt as if I had stepped into the sci-fi world of "The Three-Body Problem"—absolutely stunning! · Luna Bella A hidden gem for perfect shots 💯! The entrance of this place is fantastic for photos, giving off a 90s American street vibe 🎞️. Snap a shot and you’ll get movie-like frames! · Hantengri Mosque One of the larger Uyghur mosques in the city, its architectural style is unique, with a Baroque-style dome that’s truly magnificent! · White Mosque Located near the Grand Bazaar, this mosque features pure white walls and a jade-green dome, giving it a fairytale-like charm! The hidden photo spot is across the street from Xinjiang Min Street 📷. · Nurkan Stepping into this place left me with an unforgettable visual impact! The "palace-level" luxurious environment immediately caught my eye—carved crystal chandeliers, vintage fireplaces, stained glass windows... Every detail exudes opulence, making it a perfect spot for photos! · Yashan Observation Deck: From the observation deck, you can overlook the entire Urumqi nightscape! Navigate to "Huayuan Shangyuan Beige," enter through the black iron gate next to the residential area, and walk along the road for about 50 minutes or hike the dirt trail for about 30 minutes. We reached the summit just in time for the blue hour—it was stunning! The mountain is windy and cold, so don’t forget to bring a windbreaker. · 🏠 About Accommodation: I stayed at the Puyin Hotel this time, and the location is super convenient! It’s right across from Urumqi High-Speed Rail Station—just cross the street to get there. It’s also close to the airport, only a 20-minute drive away. The moment I stepped into the hotel, I was surrounded by the elegance of Oriental aesthetics. The handcrafted woven backdrop wall with the subtle "Puyin" characters caught my eye, and I even found poetic inscriptions in the lobby inspired by Wang Wei’s verse: "Bright moon shines between pine trees, clear spring flows over rocks," showcasing refined taste and charm. 🍵 The hotel also offers an exclusive "Puyin Tea" experience, said to be based on Qing Dynasty herbal recipes. There’s a high-tech 24-hour self-service laundry room where you can check real-time updates via an app—super convenient! Plus, there are robot deliveries and smart controls, perfect for someone like me who loves convenience! The next morning’s "wellness" breakfast was diverse and focused on balanced nutrition—it felt like I had stumbled into a health retreat. I chose the "Qinglian Residence" room type, featuring traditional Chinese-style wall art that embodies the cultural essence of "hidden in the city." After staying here for a day, I felt thoroughly cared for. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Urumqi!
