The shopping center above the third floor is sleek and modern, ideal for photos.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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～

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.

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.

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.

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～

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.

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.

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.

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～

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.

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.

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.

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～

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.

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.

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.

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～

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.

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.

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.

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～
