The beauty of Xinjiang is half hidden in the secret realms of Northern Xinjiang. It's truly worth visiting once in a lifetime! Flying over 3000+ kilometers from Guangzhou, everywhere there feels like a dream. Grasslands, lakes, canyons, highways, stunning landscapes— every frame captured looks like a movie 🎬 Sharing my 8-day Northern Xinjiang loop itinerary, only 4k per person! · 🚗 Itinerary: D1: Guangzhou ➠ Urumqi As the transit hub of Xinjiang, Urumqi is recommended to stay for half a day or a full day. It’s really great for food, shopping, and photography! - D2: Urumqi ➠ Tianshan Tianchi ➠ S21 Desert Highway ➠ Altay City A 1.5-hour drive from Urumqi takes you to the legendary "Queen Mother of the West’s Jade Pool" - Tianshan Tianchi. 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. Spend half a day visiting Kanas Lake and Guanyuatai. I also found a lesser-known spot with a stunning view of Kanas Lake, just a few hundred meters from the Kanas Visitor Center towards the bridge! - D4: Kanas ➠ Huyanghe City Morning tour of Kanas’s three bays: Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay. The most beautiful bay is Moon Bay, where you can capture the full S-shaped curve up close! The hiking trail from Moon Bay to Wolong Bay is also amazing! - D5: Huyanghe City ➠ Around Sailimu Lake ➠ Guozigou Bridge ➠ Yining The blue of Sailimu Lake is breathtaking. Kele Yongzhu and Songshutou are the best photo spots. In the evening, pass the spectacular Guozigou Bridge and arrive in Yining City. - D6: Yining ➠ Nalati Nalati is known as the crown of the Ili grasslands! The aerial grassland is the essence of Nalati! 🍃 The best photo spots are at nomadic homes. The popular bridge is there too, but you may need to queue for half an hour. You can continue walking up from the popular bridge for fewer people and more beautiful scenery! - D7: Nalati ➠ Tangbula ➠ Duku Highway ➠ Urumqi Depart from Nalati to Duku Highway, passing Tangbula, with grasslands and streams on both sides, full of beautiful scenery. 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!!

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.

This isn't a fairy tale—Xiapu's beaches in Fujian truly transform under sunlight into tiger-stripe patterns, S-curves, and vibrant color palettes! Picture this: at dawn, elderly farmers lead water buffalo under banyan trees through the mist; at dusk, hundreds of fishing boats trace graceful arcs across the sea; at low tide, the tidal flats reveal natural textures... Here, you won't find crowds—just authentic fishing village life and light-and-shadow magic that even master photographers marvel at. ✨ Every scenic spot looks like an ink painting leaping from a textbook, with Instagram-worthy shots at every turn!

If you come to Lijiang just to see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, trust me, go straight to this one — Lijiang Jinmao Puxiu Snow Mountain Hotel! As the only hotel in the scenic area that directly faces the snow mountain, during my 3-day stay, I completely understood what it means to "make your home part of the scenery"～ ✨Why do I say it’s a snow mountain treasure? These points make it legendary! Top-tier views of the snow mountain while lying down Built at 3,100 meters halfway up the mountain, every room has an extra-large balcony, and even the basic room type offers an unobstructed, face-to-face view of the snow mountain! Open the curtains in the morning, and the continuous snowy peaks come straight into your eyes. On good days, you can even catch the golden sunlight on the mountain (the mirrored platform and pool outside the yoga room are the best spots, with a 100% photo success rate📸). A carefully curated escape time Don’t worry about being bored on the mountain! Upon check-in, you’ll get an activity schedule packed from morning till night: During the day, you can try Naxi tie-dye, traditional papermaking, scripture copying for meditation, or learn tea art/coffee roasting with the instructor. Practice yoga under the snow mountain in the early morning, take a stroll to Ganhaizi to see cattle and horses in the evening (the hotel shuttle can take you there). At night, head to the observatory for stargazing (although there’s slight light pollution, you can still see a sky full of stars with the naked eye, totally worth it!). Service details so thoughtful it’s almost unfair Since Yinshe Yijing took over last year, the service has truly warmed my heart~ The manager is hands-on, staff proactively help with luggage and remind you to add or remove clothes, oxygen tanks and humidifiers are ready in the rooms (a lifesaver for dry skin!), and even afternoon tea has reserved scenic seats—luxurious yet warm, this is exactly it! Super convenient for exploring the snow mountain Only 2 km from the visitor center, you can walk to Blue Moon Valley, and it’s also close to Spruce Meadow and Yak Meadow. But honestly, the hotel is so comfortable that I gave up taking the cable car up the mountain and just enjoyed lying in the room watching the snow mountain—doesn’t that sound better? 📍How to play around? Here’s a lazy 3-day 2-night itinerary Within 1 hour around the hotel Blue Moon Valley: The "Little Jiuzhaigou" at the foot of the snow mountain, with crystal-clear blue lakes, reachable by a 20-minute scenic shuttle (ticket 100 + shuttle 20) Ganhaizi: A 10-minute hike, grassland with snow mountain backdrop, perfect for atmospheric photos Yuhu Village: A stone ancient village, Pushi Coffee’s rooftop offers snow mountain views in the same frame (free, 1 hour to explore) A bit farther but worth visiting Baisha Ancient Town: Quieter than Lijiang Old Town, 7 Sea Bar and Yi Wa Tang are popular photo spots (free, 30 minutes is enough) Tinghua Valley: Hobbit houses + alpacas, great for kids (ticket 80, fewer flowers in winter but the snow mountain backdrop is still healing) ⚠️Heartfelt minor flaws (please improve!) The bathroom has no separate ventilation, sometimes you need to open the balcony door for air Slight light pollution at night, making it a bit harder to photograph the Milky Way No food delivery on the mountain, snacks and drinks are recommended to be bought in town (Jinmao Hyatt in the city can restock) 📝Practical Tips (must-read before staying!) Booking: Available on Trip.com, prices over 3000 RMB including breakfast + afternoon tea + 2-person mountain entry permits (super cost-effective!) Mountain entry: First get the free mountain entry permit at Jinmao Hyatt at the foot of the mountain, then go up Dining: Must order yak meat hotpot for dinner (delicious and memorable), reserve scenic seats in the restaurant in advance Gear: Bring moisturizing skincare (very dry!), thick outerwear (big temperature difference between morning and night) Activities: Yoga classes and stargazing are recommended to book in advance, scripture copying and tie-dye are walk-in and play After staying here, I truly feel this isn’t just a hotel stay; it’s like living a poetic life with the snow mountain as your scroll～

Who can resist this? Waking up on the cliffs of Mount Siguniang, opening your eyes to snow-capped peaks, cascading clouds, and a cool 20°C breeze carrying the scent of nature right into your window—this is what summer should feel like! Xingshan Yueying Cliffside Inn (Changping Valley Scenic Area Branch) Located right next to the Changping Valley Scenic Area, just a 10-minute drive to the entrance. Save time on the road and enjoy an extra half-hour of sleep to catch the sunrise—doesn't that sound perfect? 🌅 Cliffside Terrace: Your Exclusive View of Mount Siguniang Awakened by the morning light, you stumble onto the terrace, curling up in a wicker chair. The breeze is cool, the clouds are soft, and the snow-capped peaks in the distance are as vivid as an ink painting. 🌌 Starry Nights: Where the Stars Fall into Your Glass The cliffside stargazing terrace is free from light pollution. As night falls, the silhouette of the snowy peaks contrasts against a sky full of stars, making it feel like you could reach out and pluck the Milky Way. Open a bottle of wine with friends, listen to the mountain winds sweeping through the valley, and suddenly, you understand the phrase "returning to nature is finding yourself"—your heart softens in such pure simplicity. 🚗 Explore Mount Siguniang Like Poetry During the day, head to Changping Valley from the inn, follow the boardwalks to chase clouds and waterfalls. In the evening, take a leisurely drive along the China Panda Avenue, a 210-kilometer stretch of pure scenery. When you're tired, return to the inn, brew a cup of tea, and watch the sunset gild the snowy peaks with golden light. This summer, don't hide in air-conditioned rooms. Come to Mount Siguniang, stay at Xingshan Yueying, and let the snowy peaks, cascading clouds, and starry skies accompany you through a cool 20°C summer.
