Cité de l'Espace
Trip to Toulouse 🇫🇷
It was a weekend trip to Toulouse, France with my partner. We started our trip at the iconic Place du Capitole*, the heart of Toulouse. The square is surrounded by beautiful historic buildings, including the Capitole de Toulouse. We wandered through the arcades and admired the stunning neoclassical architecture. The square is perfect for a morning coffee, so we sat down at Le Bibent for a quick coffee ☕️
📍5 Place du Capitole, 31000 Toulouse*
Next, we visited the Basilique Saint-Sernin, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest Romanesque churches in Europe. The beauty of its towering architecture amazed us, and the peaceful atmosphere inside was the perfect escape from the bustling streets 🙌
📍13 Place Saint-Sernin, 31000 Toulouse
In the afternoon, we explored the Jacobins Convent, a stunning medieval monastery with incredible stained glass windows and peaceful gardens. The highlight for us was the beautiful Palm Tree vault inside the church ⛪️ an architectural wonder! It’s a serene spot for both of us ro walk around and relax.
📍 69 Rue Pargaminières, 31000 Toulouse*
For dinner, we headed to Le Genty Magre, a modern French bistro offering a fantastic fine dining experience. We loved their duck breast which was tender and full of flavor. The wine 🍷 selection was also excellent, with a great range of local wines.
📍3 Rue Genty Magre, 31000 Toulouse*
We started the day with a stroll along the Garonne River, admiring the beautiful views of the Pont Neuf bridge, which dates back to the 16th century. It’s a lovely walk, especially in the early morning when the light is soft, and the city feels peaceful. We’d recommend grabbing a coffee ☕️ at one of the nearby cafés before setting out.
📍Pont Neuf, 31000 Toulouse*
**Midday: Les Abattoirs - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art**
In the afternoon, we took a short trip outside the city to visit the Cité de Espace, an interactive space museum. We explored exhibits on space exploration and even saw life-sized models of spacecraft! It’s perfect for couples who love science and want to learn something new ❤️
💰€21
📍 Avenue Jean Gonord, 31500 Toulouse*
To finish off our trip, we had dinner at Monsieur Georges, a chic restaurant offering a mix of French and Mediterranean dishes. The atmosphere was lively, and we particularly enjoyed their seafood platter. It’s a great spot for a memorable and intimate dinner.
📍 20 Place Saint-Georges, 31000 Toulouse*
The weekend in Toulouse was filled with beautiful sights, delicious food, and romantic moments. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I thought Xi'an was beautiful enough! Until I went to Luoyang
Luoyang, this city that carries the glorious history of thirteen ancient dynasties, boasts one of its treasures, the world-famous Longmen Grottoes. Located on the Longmen and Xiangshan mountains on both sides of the Yi River, the Longmen Grottoes are like a historical scroll unfolding, spanning from the Northern Wei to the Tang Dynasty, with over four hundred years of carving time, bringing together more than one hundred thousand Buddha statues and stele art, representing the pinnacle of Chinese stone carving art. Every Buddha statue, every mural, silently tells the faith and culture of that era.
🏞️【Must-Visit Attractions】
- West Hill Grottoes: The essence of the site, home to the most large-scale niches, including the not-to-be-missed treasure of the caves, the giant statue of Vairocana Buddha, standing at 17 meters tall, with a compassionate and solemn face, awe-inspiring.
- East Hill Grottoes: Relatively more serene than West Hill, fewer grottoes but exquisite, especially the group of Arhat statues in the Jingjing Temple, showcasing superb carving skills.
- Xiangshan Temple: Located on East Hill, facing the grottoes across the river, with a long history, the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once lived here, the temple environment is tranquil, a good place for rest.
- Bai Garden (Bai Juyi's Tomb): Strolling through the bamboo path, experiencing the elegant life of Tang Dynasty literati, this is the best place to pay homage to the poet demon Bai Juyi.
📍【Detailed Address】
Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province, Dragon Gate Town.
🚗【Transportation Tips】
- Public Transport: Take bus 60 or 81 from Luoyang city center directly to Longmen Grottoes Station.
- Self-driving: Drive along the Luoyang-Luanchuan Expressway, follow the signs after the exit, the scenic area has a large parking lot.
🍲【Food Recommendations】
- Luoyang Water Banquet: A traditional feast in Luoyang that must be tried, mainly featuring soups, such as Peony Yan Dish, Lian Tang Meat Slices, with a delicious taste and unique characteristics.
- Bu Fan Tang: A local snack with a hundred years of history, with a rich soup, served with thin pancakes and various ingredients, with a unique flavor.
🏞️【Nearby Attractions】
- White Horse Temple: China's first ancient temple, the first official temple after Buddhism was introduced to China, about half an hour's drive from Longmen Grottoes.
- Guanlin: A temple and mausoleum commemorating the famous Three Kingdoms general Guan Yu, integrating ancestral halls, tombs, and gardens, with a profound cultural heritage.
In the Longmen Grottoes of Luoyang, every step is a dialogue through a thousand years, every gaze is a deep look into history. This is not only a visual feast but also a purification of the soul! Let's feel the shock and beauty that transcends time and space together!

High-speed rail takes you to the real-life version of the ancient village in Spirited Away!!
High-speed rail takes you to the real-life version of the ancient village in Spirited Away!!
I found it!! An ancient village like Spirited Away~ I just came back from here a few days ago and I was so impressed by the beauty of the place. Lush green mountains and forests, wooden houses stacked on top of each other, and rice terraces and paddy fields.
It's like walking into a comic book scene! And you can get there by high-speed rail!!
Just in Guizhou √ Zhaoxing Dong Village After September, there are many fewer people here.
Now is the season when there are fewer people and beautiful scenery!
When you come to Zhaoxing Dong Village, you can also visit Tang'an Rice Terraces and Xage Rice Terraces. The green rice fields and terraces are so beautiful~
If you come a little later, in late September and early October, you can also see the autumn rice fields. It's so relaxing and photogenic to spend two days here on the weekend~
Tips:
Xage Rice Terraces, Tang'an Rice Terraces and Zhaoxing Dong Village are all together! So when you come to Zhaoxing Dong Village, you can also take a car up the mountain from the village and see two more rice terraces. It's amazing! And the village and rice terraces are not too big, so you can easily spend two days here on the weekend without getting tired~
Both photos were taken this week! The rice fields here are still green (if you like autumn rice fields, you can wait another half a month and visit in late September and early October).
Photo locations: Xage Rice Terraces
Xia Shan Dessert Shop's small terrace, rice field swing and wooden plank viewing platform
Zhaoxing Dong Village
Viewing platform opposite the village gate, window sill on the second floor of the Buzhengwu Roof Coffee Shop, Zhi Tuan Drum Tower, Batik Bridge, Li Tuan Drum Tower, Zhaoxing Wall from "Go Where the Wind Blows", Yi Tuan Drum Tower, Village Gate Steps

🚗 Take the high-speed rail to Congjiang Station, and take a scenic minibus for 15 minutes to get there.
A city in China with a fairy tale vibe, reminiscent of One Thousand and One Nights
💚Kashgar, a vibrant ancient city.
The architecture here still carries the colors of the Western Regions, and you rarely hear Mandarin on the streets, as if you have stepped into the fairy tale book of One Thousand and One Nights.
.
💛Kashgar is also the filming location for the movie The Kite Runner, with a romance that rivals Kabul in Afghanistan, but without any safety concerns.
(The safety level in Kashgar is almost as good as not having to worry about losing anything on the streets.)
·
What is Kashgar?
It is the Shule Kingdom, one of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions, the crossroads of the Eurasian continent, and the meeting point of three major religions and four great civilizations.
Zhang Qian has been here, Xuanzang has been here, and Marco Polo has been here.
When you stand on a high point in the ancient city and look into the distance, your gaze may inadvertently meet that of Xuanzang from a thousand years ago.
·
How to explore Kashgar?
1. Of course, you must stroll through the old city.
The old city of Kashgar is also called Kashgar, divided into east and west districts. Entering from the Id Kah Mosque is the west district of the ancient city, and the east district is opposite the Id Kah Mosque, with a sign saying "Han Bazaar" at the entrance.
Famous spots like Rainbow Alley, Bag Alley, the century-old teahouse, and the Id Kah Mosque are all in the west district.
I also recommend visiting the west district. There's no need to go to the internet-famous spots; just wander from the main road into the side alleys where mostly locals live. It's quiet and beautiful.
·
2. Left hand pilaf and lamb skewers, right hand coffee and tea.
Besides exploring the ancient city, another must-do is eating and drinking.
Kashgar has many must-visit eateries, and you definitely shouldn't miss the cuisine of southern Xinjiang.
Moreover, prices in Kashgar are very affordable. If you like lamb skewers, you can have them every day.
Teahouses and coffee shops are also a must-visit. I recommend the teahouses in the ancient city.
Kashgar's coffee shops are beautiful, sitting on exotic streets drinking coffee, with local children coming over to chat, it's very chill.
Must-try foods in Kashgar: yogurt, pilaf, lamb skewers, steel meat, roasted pigeon, fried rice noodles, yogurt...
·
How not to get lost in the ancient city?
When strolling in the ancient city of Kashgar, you must learn to read the floor tiles.
Hexagonal tiles can lead to any main road in the ancient city;
Horizontally laid tiles mean there's no road ahead;
Tiles with arrows indicate a clear path ahead;
·
About accommodation
There are many accommodation options in Kashgar, but it's not recommended to stay inside the ancient city as carrying luggage there is difficult. Budget hotels near the entrance of the ancient city are more suitable.
If you want exclusive panoramic views of the ancient city, you can stay at Zhe·Ka.
Accommodation in Kashgar is hard to book during peak season, so plan ahead!
·
Transportation in Kashgar
Taxis are easy to hail in Kashgar, and if you're moving around the ancient city area, the fare is usually the starting price.
If you're not in a hurry, you can take the bus, and both WeChat and Alipay are accepted.
If this is your first time in Hong Kong, simply follow this 3-day, 2-night itinerary.

Not New Zealand, but Zhejiang! A fairy tale world filled with hydrangea flowers!
Really, it's not New Zealand.
I'm in Huzhou, where I've discovered a real-life version of Hobbiton✨

What kind of fairy tale world is this?!🤔

Shandong Yantai Penglai Changdao three-day two-night travel guide 😜
Changdao is divided into South Island and North Island 🎈.
🚉 Transportation Guide:
Out-of-town cars are not allowed on Changdao, you have to take a boat from Penglai 😃. Buy tickets in advance 🎫. Sometimes the boat information will be updated, and sailings may be canceled on windy days. The ticket price is 45 yuan, and it takes 40 minutes to get there 😎.
Bring some ham and bread to feed the seagulls on the boat. It costs an extra 20 yuan on the way there and 10 yuan on the way back. Someone will sell you an upgrade to feed the seagulls on the boat 😜.
If you have luggage, the crew will collect it before boarding, and you can pick it up next to the boat when you disembark, so you don't have to carry it yourself 🧳. Taxis are inconvenient on the island, you have to wait for the bus, if there are many people, you can charter a car, if there are few people, you can rent an electric scooter. The attractions are not far, so a small electric scooter will do 🛵.
🏨 Hotel Environment:
There are many accommodation options on North Island, including fishing inns and homestays 😃. It is recommended to stay near Jiuzhangya, which is convenient for watching the sunset 🌅.
🍲 Food Recommendations:
Fishing inns offer group meals at 80 yuan and 50 yuan levels, with relatively light flavors 😕.
For those who like spicy food, bring some chili sauce 🌶️. You can also find highly-rated restaurants nearby, such as Sichuan cuisine restaurants 🥘. Mingzhu Plaza is a night market street with many options, and the barbecue is good 😋.
🗓 Itinerary:
DAY1: Arrive at Penglai Port, take a boat to Changdao, stay in a homestay, and after resting, visit the North Line: Crescent Bay + Jiuzhangya. These two places are connected, go to Crescent Bay first, then Jiuzhangya, and watch the sunset at Jiuzhangya, it's beautiful 😃!
DAY2: In the morning, take a boat to Daheishan Island (the filming location of "Parents' Love", actually all the islands are similar, going here is a bit of a hassle, it's more relaxing to go sea fishing 😜). In the afternoon, visit the South Island, first go to Xianjingyuan, the scenic area is small and there are few people, you can sit by the sea. Then go to Fengshan Linhai to see the boundary line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and wait for the sunset 🌄.
D3: Free arrangement, I returned to Penglai Pavilion in the morning, which is next to the pier, you can get there by scanning a shared electric scooter. If you don't want to enter the pavilion, just stroll along the seaside nearby 🚶♂️.
📝 Tips:
Essential items: sunscreen 🧴, sun hat 👒, sunglasses 🕶️, portable fan 💨, Huoxiang Zhengqi water 💊.

So far, the most satisfying hotel I've stayed at in Sanya, bar none
If there is another kind of luxury in this world, it must be like the Mandarin Oriental. As one of the top five luxury hotels in Sanya, the Mandarin Oriental Sanya Coral Bay Hotel exclusively enjoys the entire Coral Bay, nestled between mountains and water, truly stunning. Although we encountered typhoon and heavy rain weather during our stay, the rain stopped midway, and the moment we opened the door, it felt as if all the worldly troubles and mundane worries were washed away, leaving us in peace and tranquility.
👍Hotel Environment:
Facing the Coral Bay of the South China Sea, it exclusively enjoys a 1.2-kilometer beach, backed by lush mountains, truly a 'world within a bay.' When Southeast Asian style meets Oriental aesthetics, and Hainan's Li and Miao culture blends with minimalism, the entire hotel becomes more secluded and luxurious, with a unique charm. The public area in the South Asian style is incredibly impressive, with over 80% greenery coverage. The well-arranged vegetation complements the guest rooms, with every detail reflecting respect for nature and culture. Especially the giant phoenix tree on the large lawn, like a phoenix soaring in the sky, makes people want to make a wish under the tree.
👍Hotel Rooms:
The hotel rooms are roughly divided into three areas: mountain, sea, and sky, with room types including guest rooms, suites, and villas, each area having its own characteristics. This time, we stayed in the Helena Rubinstein co-branded suite. Open the door and see the sea. The room is spacious, and going out from the back door is the Im Afun check-in point. Because of the small courtyard, the soundproofing and privacy are excellent. Guests staying in this room type also receive a Helena Rubinstein set. Additionally, the villas are highly recommended, with villa + pool + sea view, only MO has it in Sanya.
👍Hotel Public Area:
You must leisurely stroll around the hotel's public area. It can be said without reservation that it is the pinnacle of Sanya hotel public areas. With over 11,000 green plants, it is simply an oxygen paradise. Sculptures of people and animals can be seen everywhere, seemingly telling ancient stories. At sunset, you must go near the beach to chase a romantic moment. There are many check-in points in the public area, you can refer to the pictures.
👍Hotel Dining:
🔹Yi Yang Chinese Restaurant: Traditional Chinese cuisine, Southeast Asian specialties combined with Cantonese cuisine, you must try the fermented vinegar lamb, the taste is very exquisite.
🔹Hai Jiao Xuan: An open sunset restaurant, eating Western food while listening to the story of the sea, who can refuse such romance?
🔹Seafood Buffet: An open-air beach restaurant, truly sitting by the sea eating seafood. Lobster, foie gras, durian unlimited, also my personal favorite restaurant.
👍Other Features:
