If the Maldives is synonymous with a paradise getaway, then Miyakojima in Japan is its Eastern counterpart. 🌴 Rosewood Miyakojima — Rosewood's first property in Japan, redefining "understated luxury" to its pinnacle upon opening. 🏝 Where is Miyakojima, and why is it worth a special trip? Located on the southernmost island of Okinawa Prefecture, it boasts clearer waters and more pristine beaches than the mainland, epitomizing the dreamy "Miyako Blue" seen in Japanese dramas and magazines. 📍 Fly to Miyako Airport from Tokyo, Osaka, Naha, etc., followed by a 20-minute drive to the resort. ✔ Nestled between sugarcane fields and white sand beaches, the hotel naturally shields you from all noise. 🪵 Architectural Aesthetics: 55 All-Ocean-View Villas, Infused with Ryukyu Poetry Designed by Dutch architect Piet Boon in collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate, the resort uses local Ryukyu limestone and natural materials to blend "modern wabi-sabi × tropical wilderness" into a poetic ambiance. Each villa features: 🏊‍♀️ Private pool 🌿 Tropical garden 🌅 Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the "Miyako Blue" sea Ultimate privacy, undisturbed 💎 What defines Rosewood's "understated luxury"? Low-density design with only 55 villas, offering such spaciousness it feels like having the entire beach to yourself. Service reflects Rosewood's signature "gentle yet restrained" approach—every interaction is perfectly measured. SPA and wellness integrate sustainability, using local plants, sea salt, wind, and sound as healing elements. Dining highlights the "true essence of island ingredients"—light, uncomplicated, and pure as air. 🌿 Final Thoughts: A "filter-free" luxury island escape Many hotels boast scenery, but what truly moves people is the silent power of nature, architecture, and humanity in harmony. Rosewood Miyakojima is unpretentious and unhurried—it simply welcomes you quietly to disconnect in high quality, embracing Ryukyu's winds, sunlight, and ocean. 📌 Tips: • Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or solo healing journeys • Book peak seasons (especially spring/autumn and year-end holidays) early—it’s highly sought after • Miyakojima itself is perfect for light adventures: snorkeling, beach cycling, and exploring untouched shores

For a perfect summer family trip, I highly recommend Mile with its pleasant 22°C climate! This hidden gem offers an ideal "reverse tourism" experience. I used to think Dali was the pinnacle of beauty—until I discovered Mile in southeastern Yunnan. This underrated destination, often called China's Morocco, boasts a consistently comfortable 22°C temperature year-round! **Unique Southeastern Yunnan Experience** Here, you can leisurely ride horse-drawn carriages, enjoy water fights for summer refreshment, savor lotus-themed feasts, light up fireworks at night, and stroll through lavender fields. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time—when life moved slower, letters traveled far, and love was cherished deeply. **Southeastern Yunnan Itinerary** **DAY1: Kunming → Mile** After being greeted by our guide at the airport, we headed to Mile’s Dongfengyun Farm, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope." This magical red-brick castle, built over 8 years, showcases extraordinary architectural artistry. **DAY2: Mile → Jianshui** Morning: Explore the colorful, whimsical Jianshui Ant Workshop and immerse in purple clay culture. Afternoon: Visit Jianshui Ancient Town to admire the ethnic-style Chaoyang Tower and the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan"—the Zhu Family Garden. Don’t miss local delicacies like Jianshui tofu, steamed pot chicken, cross-bridge rice noodles with jelly, and pomegranate juice. **DAY3: Jianshui → Honghe/Yuanyang** Morning: Ride the unique Yunnan-Vietnam sightseeing railway to Tuanshan Village, discovering ancient Hani and Yi ethnic settlements. Afternoon: Head to Honghe Valley’s Tent Camp. **DAY4: Yuanyang → Fuxian Lake** Morning: Enjoy a leisurely private camp retreat, with a guided light hike through Yuanyang’s terraced fields. Afternoon: Arrive at Stone Village, then unwind by serene Fuxian Lake for a breathtaking sunset. **DAY5: Fuxian Lake → Kunming → Departure** Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also fantastic for relaxation—offering both ocean-like vistas and tranquil downtime. **Travel Tips** • This route is far less crowded than Yunnan’s tourist hotspots—perfect for peak-season escapes. • Yunnan’s UV rays are strong year-round; pack hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. • Large temperature swings between day and night—bring extra layers.

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

The mist on your face is both refreshing and awe-inspiring. Standing here, you'll truly understand the phrase "Yellow River water comes from heaven!" Yucha Grand Canyon (Located in Yucha Village, Ganquan County, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province) The canyon is narrow, with only a sliver of sky visible overhead.

Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1️⃣0️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣ HaiShilù 75 Café Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1️⃣2️⃣ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1️⃣3️⃣ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1️⃣4️⃣ Shangqingsi Police Station 1️⃣5️⃣ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1️⃣6️⃣ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1️⃣7️⃣ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1️⃣8️⃣ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its “golden hour,” the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic. Snapping a photo isn’t hard; capturing Chongqing’s unique texture might take visiting several times. But every time I wander this city, I’m blown away again by its layers and rhythm. #mountaincityromance #cyberpunk #chongqing #chongqingtravel #chongqingphotography #chongqingphotospots #chongqingphotoheaven #chongqingphotoguide #urbannoir #neondreams #monorailmagic #cityoffogandlights #filmscenevibes #djimini3pro #cityscapeobsession

Start your Citywalk at Yasaka Pagoda (Hōkan-ji Temple) at 6:00 AM, passing through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, with Kiyomizu-dera as the final destination. The entire route takes 3 hours. Kyoto's ancient stone-paved paths and staggered traditional Japanese wooden houses create perfect photo backdrops at every quiet street corner!! 📷 🗺️ Kyoto Citywalk Route Mizuiro-tei → (🚶6min) Park Hyatt Kyoto → (🚶2min) Niinii San → (🚶2min) Akuya Chaya → (🚶2min) Nishimukai-in → (🚶3min) Akehodono-tei → (🚶8min) Kiyomizu-dera 1️⃣ Yasaka Pagoda, Kyoto's iconic landmark. Navigate to "Mizuiro-tei" for a frontal shot near the fish vine sign. Continue uphill to the pagoda's rear by navigating to "Nishimukai-in." 2️⃣ Walk along the outer wall of Park Hyatt Kyoto up the hillside for a distant view of Yasaka Pagoda—a relatively undiscovered spot with few people, perfect for photos. 3️⃣ Ninenzaka: Navigate to "Niinii San" and stand in the middle of the road to capture the depth and rustic charm of the Japanese streets. 4️⃣ Intersection of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akuya Chaya" for a prime photo spot at the slope's turn. 5️⃣ On the way from Ninenzaka to Sannenzaka, the "Kyo Shirakawa" sign by the roadside is very picturesque. 6️⃣ Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akehodono-tei" and stroll along the bluestone-paved path lined with quaint old Japanese wooden houses. 7️⃣ Kiyomizu-dera: Stand on the Kiyomizu Stage for a panoramic view of Kyoto, or visit the "Okunoin" observation deck for the iconic Shinchan and Ran photo spot. ⚠️ Note: This route is entirely uphill and quite strenuous, but Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka get crowded early, so the earlier you go, the better the photos. To save energy, consider starting from Kiyomizu-dera and walking the route in reverse.

🇮🇸The Highlands are open for a limited time in summer – miss it and wait another year!|||In the coming Iceland: where daylight never ends, winds sweep between wilderness and snow-capped mountains, and sunlight transforms the land into a divine palette – volcanoes glow red, rivers shimmer blue, mossy plains stay green, while the Highlands' solitude shines golden. - 💬Why must you visit the Icelandic Highlands every summer? Because it's "Europe's last uninhabited frontier," only accessible from late May to September each year, remaining ice-locked and isolated the rest of the time. Here, you step not just into Iceland's heartland, but into the planet's most primordial landscape. - 📍5 Must-See Wonders of Iceland's Summer Highlands ▪ Landmannalaugar Rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and wild hot springs weave together into a rainbow valley. Try the 3-hour summer hiking loop through black lava to multicolored peaks – like walking through a living painting. Pack a quick-dry towel for the natural hot spring finale. ▪ Þórsmörk Valley Where volcanoes and glaciers face off dramatically (a Game of Thrones filming location). Hike deep into the valley to Eyjafjallajökull viewpoint, overlooking remnants of the 2010 eruption – hearing Earth's subterranean whispers. ▪ Askja Caldera An instantly lovable ice-blue lake hidden in volcanic depths. Trek across black deserts to reach Viti crater, then (in summer) swim in 25°C geothermal waters – experiencing "A Song of Ice and Fire" in reality. ▪ Maelifell Volcano A perfect green conical peak resembling matcha-dusted dessert. When post-rain sunlight pierces the mist, the mountain glows mysteriously – photographers call it "Iceland's Emerald." ▪ Kerlingarfjöll (Hell Valley) The Highlands' most dreamlike steam valley where colorful rocks bubble with hot springs. Summer mists transform it into an ethereal wonderland – perfect for contemplative wandering and photography. - 🚗Highlands Travel Tips ✅F-numbered mountain roads require 4WD vehicles only – regular cars risk heavy fines ✅Rent a 4x4 with full insurance (gravel damage coverage ⚠️ mandatory) ✅Beginners should join local Chinese-guided tours for safety and best photo ops - 🗺️ Highlands Survival Guide ❗Check road.is daily for closures (some areas flood after storms) ❗Always fill your tank – some stretches have no gas for 200km ❗Never step on moss! Fines up to 100,000 ISK ❗Download Maps.me offline maps – no signal in many areas ❗Wear waterproof hiking boots, pack quick-dry clothes, snacks, and a thermos

The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly.

If the Maldives is synonymous with a paradise getaway, then Miyakojima in Japan is its Eastern counterpart. 🌴 Rosewood Miyakojima — Rosewood's first property in Japan, redefining "understated luxury" to its pinnacle upon opening. 🏝 Where is Miyakojima, and why is it worth a special trip? Located on the southernmost island of Okinawa Prefecture, it boasts clearer waters and more pristine beaches than the mainland, epitomizing the dreamy "Miyako Blue" seen in Japanese dramas and magazines. 📍 Fly to Miyako Airport from Tokyo, Osaka, Naha, etc., followed by a 20-minute drive to the resort. ✔ Nestled between sugarcane fields and white sand beaches, the hotel naturally shields you from all noise. 🪵 Architectural Aesthetics: 55 All-Ocean-View Villas, Infused with Ryukyu Poetry Designed by Dutch architect Piet Boon in collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate, the resort uses local Ryukyu limestone and natural materials to blend "modern wabi-sabi × tropical wilderness" into a poetic ambiance. Each villa features: 🏊‍♀️ Private pool 🌿 Tropical garden 🌅 Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the "Miyako Blue" sea Ultimate privacy, undisturbed 💎 What defines Rosewood's "understated luxury"? Low-density design with only 55 villas, offering such spaciousness it feels like having the entire beach to yourself. Service reflects Rosewood's signature "gentle yet restrained" approach—every interaction is perfectly measured. SPA and wellness integrate sustainability, using local plants, sea salt, wind, and sound as healing elements. Dining highlights the "true essence of island ingredients"—light, uncomplicated, and pure as air. 🌿 Final Thoughts: A "filter-free" luxury island escape Many hotels boast scenery, but what truly moves people is the silent power of nature, architecture, and humanity in harmony. Rosewood Miyakojima is unpretentious and unhurried—it simply welcomes you quietly to disconnect in high quality, embracing Ryukyu's winds, sunlight, and ocean. 📌 Tips: • Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or solo healing journeys • Book peak seasons (especially spring/autumn and year-end holidays) early—it’s highly sought after • Miyakojima itself is perfect for light adventures: snorkeling, beach cycling, and exploring untouched shores

For a perfect summer family trip, I highly recommend Mile with its pleasant 22°C climate! This hidden gem offers an ideal "reverse tourism" experience. I used to think Dali was the pinnacle of beauty—until I discovered Mile in southeastern Yunnan. This underrated destination, often called China's Morocco, boasts a consistently comfortable 22°C temperature year-round! **Unique Southeastern Yunnan Experience** Here, you can leisurely ride horse-drawn carriages, enjoy water fights for summer refreshment, savor lotus-themed feasts, light up fireworks at night, and stroll through lavender fields. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time—when life moved slower, letters traveled far, and love was cherished deeply. **Southeastern Yunnan Itinerary** **DAY1: Kunming → Mile** After being greeted by our guide at the airport, we headed to Mile’s Dongfengyun Farm, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope." This magical red-brick castle, built over 8 years, showcases extraordinary architectural artistry. **DAY2: Mile → Jianshui** Morning: Explore the colorful, whimsical Jianshui Ant Workshop and immerse in purple clay culture. Afternoon: Visit Jianshui Ancient Town to admire the ethnic-style Chaoyang Tower and the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan"—the Zhu Family Garden. Don’t miss local delicacies like Jianshui tofu, steamed pot chicken, cross-bridge rice noodles with jelly, and pomegranate juice. **DAY3: Jianshui → Honghe/Yuanyang** Morning: Ride the unique Yunnan-Vietnam sightseeing railway to Tuanshan Village, discovering ancient Hani and Yi ethnic settlements. Afternoon: Head to Honghe Valley’s Tent Camp. **DAY4: Yuanyang → Fuxian Lake** Morning: Enjoy a leisurely private camp retreat, with a guided light hike through Yuanyang’s terraced fields. Afternoon: Arrive at Stone Village, then unwind by serene Fuxian Lake for a breathtaking sunset. **DAY5: Fuxian Lake → Kunming → Departure** Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also fantastic for relaxation—offering both ocean-like vistas and tranquil downtime. **Travel Tips** • This route is far less crowded than Yunnan’s tourist hotspots—perfect for peak-season escapes. • Yunnan’s UV rays are strong year-round; pack hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. • Large temperature swings between day and night—bring extra layers.

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

“Cyber city! It’s crazy!” That phrase from Jia-Kang-Ge (甲亢哥) went viral everywhere when he recently visited Chongqing. But honestly, Chongqing’s nights have long amazed countless photographers. The monorail weaving between skyscrapers, the sea of taxis beneath neon-red and green lights, the overpasses at dusk… Mist, lights, density, speed—every frame feels like living inside a movie. Below are some of my favorite cyberpunk-inspired shooting spots I’ve compiled over the past two years. You’ll find both popular angles and off-the-beaten-track gems—everything shoots with maximum atmosphere. 👌 ⸻ 1️⃣ Yalan International Tower (29th Floor Rooftop) • Entry: ¥30 per person • Best for late-night shots without weird colored show lights 2️⃣ Guanyinqiao Classic Spot • Navigate to North City Mall (Beicheng Tianjie) Gate 8 • Use a 2–5 second long exposure for that light-trail effect 3️⃣ Tangjiayuanzi Monorail Station, Exit 2 4️⃣ Daxigou Monorail Station • Feels like a “small‐town Japanese-style” monorail station 5️⃣ Qiānfó Temple & Chaotianmen in One Frame • Navigate to Himalaya Banquet Hall 6️⃣ Chaodong Road • Raffles City glowing in the distance 7️⃣ Under the Hongyan Village Bridge • No one else can get up there—must Photoshop yourself in 8️⃣ Xiejiawan Interchange & Egongyan Bridge • Navigate to Longteng Avenue / Xiexiaolu Intersection 9️⃣ Skywalk Outside Jiangbei Airport Arrival Hall • Rows of yellow Ferraris lined up perfectly—check it immediately upon landing. Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1️⃣0️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣ HaiShilù 75 Café Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1️⃣2️⃣ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1️⃣3️⃣ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1️⃣4️⃣ Shangqingsi Police Station 1️⃣5️⃣ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1️⃣6️⃣ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1️⃣7️⃣ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1️⃣8️⃣ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its “golden hour,” the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic.

Start your Citywalk at Yasaka Pagoda (Hōkan-ji Temple) at 6:00 AM, passing through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, with Kiyomizu-dera as the final destination. The entire route takes 3 hours. Kyoto's ancient stone-paved paths and staggered traditional Japanese wooden houses create perfect photo backdrops at every quiet street corner!! 📷 🗺️ Kyoto Citywalk Route Mizuiro-tei → (🚶6min) Park Hyatt Kyoto → (🚶2min) Niinii San → (🚶2min) Akuya Chaya → (🚶2min) Nishimukai-in → (🚶3min) Akehodono-tei → (🚶8min) Kiyomizu-dera 1️⃣ Yasaka Pagoda, Kyoto's iconic landmark. Navigate to "Mizuiro-tei" for a frontal shot near the fish vine sign. Continue uphill to the pagoda's rear by navigating to "Nishimukai-in." 2️⃣ Walk along the outer wall of Park Hyatt Kyoto up the hillside for a distant view of Yasaka Pagoda—a relatively undiscovered spot with few people, perfect for photos. 3️⃣ Ninenzaka: Navigate to "Niinii San" and stand in the middle of the road to capture the depth and rustic charm of the Japanese streets. 4️⃣ Intersection of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akuya Chaya" for a prime photo spot at the slope's turn. 5️⃣ On the way from Ninenzaka to Sannenzaka, the "Kyo Shirakawa" sign by the roadside is very picturesque. 6️⃣ Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akehodono-tei" and stroll along the bluestone-paved path lined with quaint old Japanese wooden houses. 7️⃣ Kiyomizu-dera: Stand on the Kiyomizu Stage for a panoramic view of Kyoto, or visit the "Okunoin" observation deck for the iconic Shinchan and Ran photo spot. ⚠️ Note: This route is entirely uphill and quite strenuous, but Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka get crowded early, so the earlier you go, the better the photos. To save energy, consider starting from Kiyomizu-dera and walking the route in reverse.

🇮🇸The Highlands are open for a limited time in summer – miss it and wait another year!|||In the coming Iceland: where daylight never ends, winds sweep between wilderness and snow-capped mountains, and sunlight transforms the land into a divine palette – volcanoes glow red, rivers shimmer blue, mossy plains stay green, while the Highlands' solitude shines golden. - 💬Why must you visit the Icelandic Highlands every summer? Because it's "Europe's last uninhabited frontier," only accessible from late May to September each year, remaining ice-locked and isolated the rest of the time. Here, you step not just into Iceland's heartland, but into the planet's most primordial landscape. - 📍5 Must-See Wonders of Iceland's Summer Highlands ▪ Landmannalaugar Rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and wild hot springs weave together into a rainbow valley. Try the 3-hour summer hiking loop through black lava to multicolored peaks – like walking through a living painting. Pack a quick-dry towel for the natural hot spring finale. ▪ Þórsmörk Valley Where volcanoes and glaciers face off dramatically (a Game of Thrones filming location). Hike deep into the valley to Eyjafjallajökull viewpoint, overlooking remnants of the 2010 eruption – hearing Earth's subterranean whispers. ▪ Askja Caldera An instantly lovable ice-blue lake hidden in volcanic depths. Trek across black deserts to reach Viti crater, then (in summer) swim in 25°C geothermal waters – experiencing "A Song of Ice and Fire" in reality. ▪ Maelifell Volcano A perfect green conical peak resembling matcha-dusted dessert. When post-rain sunlight pierces the mist, the mountain glows mysteriously – photographers call it "Iceland's Emerald." ▪ Kerlingarfjöll (Hell Valley) The Highlands' most dreamlike steam valley where colorful rocks bubble with hot springs. Summer mists transform it into an ethereal wonderland – perfect for contemplative wandering and photography. - 🚗Highlands Travel Tips ✅F-numbered mountain roads require 4WD vehicles only – regular cars risk heavy fines ✅Rent a 4x4 with full insurance (gravel damage coverage ⚠️ mandatory) ✅Beginners should join local Chinese-guided tours for safety and best photo ops - 🗺️ Highlands Survival Guide ❗Check road.is daily for closures (some areas flood after storms) ❗Always fill your tank – some stretches have no gas for 200km ❗Never step on moss! Fines up to 100,000 ISK ❗Download Maps.me offline maps – no signal in many areas ❗Wear waterproof hiking boots, pack quick-dry clothes, snacks, and a thermos

The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly.

Rosewood Miyakojima is unpretentious and unhurried—it simply welcomes you quietly to disconnect in high quality, embracing Ryukyu's winds, sunlight, and ocean. 📌 Tips: • Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or solo healing journeys • Book peak seasons (especially spring/autumn and year-end holidays) early—it’s highly sought after • Miyakojima itself is perfect for light adventures: snorkeling, beach cycling, and exploring untouched shores

For a perfect summer family trip, I highly recommend Mile with its pleasant 22°C climate! This hidden gem offers an ideal "reverse tourism" experience. I used to think Dali was the pinnacle of beauty—until I discovered Mile in southeastern Yunnan. This underrated destination, often called China's Morocco, boasts a consistently comfortable 22°C temperature year-round! **Unique Southeastern Yunnan Experience** Here, you can leisurely ride horse-drawn carriages, enjoy water fights for summer refreshment, savor lotus-themed feasts, light up fireworks at night, and stroll through lavender fields. It feels like stepping back into a simpler time—when life moved slower, letters traveled far, and love was cherished deeply. **Southeastern Yunnan Itinerary** **DAY1: Kunming → Mile** After being greeted by our guide at the airport, we headed to Mile’s Dongfengyun Farm, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope." This magical red-brick castle, built over 8 years, showcases extraordinary architectural artistry. **DAY2: Mile → Jianshui** Morning: Explore the colorful, whimsical Jianshui Ant Workshop and immerse in purple clay culture. Afternoon: Visit Jianshui Ancient Town to admire the ethnic-style Chaoyang Tower and the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan"—the Zhu Family Garden. Don’t miss local delicacies like Jianshui tofu, steamed pot chicken, cross-bridge rice noodles with jelly, and pomegranate juice. **DAY3: Jianshui → Honghe/Yuanyang** Morning: Ride the unique Yunnan-Vietnam sightseeing railway to Tuanshan Village, discovering ancient Hani and Yi ethnic settlements. Afternoon: Head to Honghe Valley’s Tent Camp. **DAY4: Yuanyang → Fuxian Lake** Morning: Enjoy a leisurely private camp retreat, with a guided light hike through Yuanyang’s terraced fields. Afternoon: Arrive at Stone Village, then unwind by serene Fuxian Lake for a breathtaking sunset. **DAY5: Fuxian Lake → Kunming → Departure** Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also fantastic for relaxation—offering both ocean-like vistas and tranquil downtime. **Travel Tips** • This route is far less crowded than Yunnan’s tourist hotspots—perfect for peak-season escapes. • Yunnan’s UV rays are strong year-round; pack hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. • Large temperature swings between day and night—bring extra layers.

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

“Cyber city! It’s crazy!” That phrase from Jia-Kang-Ge (甲亢哥) went viral everywhere when he recently visited Chongqing. But honestly, Chongqing’s nights have long amazed countless photographers. The monorail weaving between skyscrapers, the sea of taxis beneath neon-red and green lights, the overpasses at dusk… Mist, lights, density, speed—every frame feels like living inside a movie. Below are some of my favorite cyberpunk-inspired shooting spots I’ve compiled over the past two years. You’ll find both popular angles and off-the-beaten-track gems—everything shoots with maximum atmosphere. 👌 ⸻ 1️⃣ Yalan International Tower (29th Floor Rooftop) • Entry: ¥30 per person • Best for late-night shots without weird colored show lights 2️⃣ Guanyinqiao Classic Spot • Navigate to North City Mall (Beicheng Tianjie) Gate 8 • Use a 2–5 second long exposure for that light-trail effect 3️⃣ Tangjiayuanzi Monorail Station, Exit 2 4️⃣ Daxigou Monorail Station • Feels like a “small‐town Japanese-style” monorail station 5️⃣ Qiānfó Temple & Chaotianmen in One Frame • Navigate to Himalaya Banquet Hall 6️⃣ Chaodong Road • Raffles City glowing in the distance 7️⃣ Under the Hongyan Village Bridge • No one else can get up there—must Photoshop yourself in 8️⃣ Xiejiawan Interchange & Egongyan Bridge • Navigate to Longteng Avenue / Xiexiaolu Intersection 9️⃣ Skywalk Outside Jiangbei Airport Arrival Hall • Rows of yellow Ferraris lined up perfectly—check it immediately upon landing. Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1️⃣0️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣ HaiShilù 75 Café Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1️⃣2️⃣ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1️⃣3️⃣ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1️⃣4️⃣ Shangqingsi Police Station 1️⃣5️⃣ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1️⃣6️⃣ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1️⃣7️⃣ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1️⃣8️⃣ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its “golden hour,” the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic. Snapping a photo isn’t hard; capturing Chongqing’s unique texture might take visiting several times. But every time I wander this city, I’m blown away again by its layers and rhythm. #mountaincityromance #cyberpunk #chongqing #chongqingtravel #chongqingphotography #chongqingphotospots #chongqingphotoheaven #chongqingphotoguide #urbannoir #neondreams #monorailmagic #cityoffogandlights #filmscenevibes #djimini3pro #cityscapeobsession

Kyoto's ancient stone-paved paths and staggered traditional Japanese wooden houses create perfect photo backdrops at every quiet street corner!! 📷 🗺️ Kyoto Citywalk Route Mizuiro-tei → (🚶6min) Park Hyatt Kyoto → (🚶2min) Niinii San → (🚶2min) Akuya Chaya → (🚶2min) Nishimukai-in → (🚶3min) Akehodono-tei → (🚶8min) Kiyomizu-dera 1️⃣ Yasaka Pagoda, Kyoto's iconic landmark. Navigate to "Mizuiro-tei" for a frontal shot near the fish vine sign. Continue uphill to the pagoda's rear by navigating to "Nishimukai-in." 2️⃣ Walk along the outer wall of Park Hyatt Kyoto up the hillside for a distant view of Yasaka Pagoda—a relatively undiscovered spot with few people, perfect for photos. 3️⃣ Ninenzaka: Navigate to "Niinii San" and stand in the middle of the road to capture the depth and rustic charm of the Japanese streets. 4️⃣ Intersection of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akuya Chaya" for a prime photo spot at the slope's turn. 5️⃣ On the way from Ninenzaka to Sannenzaka, the "Kyo Shirakawa" sign by the roadside is very picturesque. 6️⃣ Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akehodono-tei" and stroll along the bluestone-paved path lined with quaint old Japanese wooden houses. 7️⃣ Kiyomizu-dera: Stand on the Kiyomizu Stage for a panoramic view of Kyoto, or visit the "Okunoin" observation deck for the iconic Shinchan and Ran photo spot. ⚠️ Note: This route is entirely uphill and quite strenuous, but Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka get crowded early, so the earlier you go, the better the photos.

Because it's "Europe's last uninhabited frontier," only accessible from late May to September each year, remaining ice-locked and isolated the rest of the time. Here, you step not just into Iceland's heartland, but into the planet's most primordial landscape. - 📍5 Must-See Wonders of Iceland's Summer Highlands ▪ Landmannalaugar Rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and wild hot springs weave together into a rainbow valley. Try the 3-hour summer hiking loop through black lava to multicolored peaks – like walking through a living painting. Pack a quick-dry towel for the natural hot spring finale. ▪ Þórsmörk Valley Where volcanoes and glaciers face off dramatically (a Game of Thrones filming location). Hike deep into the valley to Eyjafjallajökull viewpoint, overlooking remnants of the 2010 eruption – hearing Earth's subterranean whispers. ▪ Askja Caldera An instantly lovable ice-blue lake hidden in volcanic depths. Trek across black deserts to reach Viti crater, then (in summer) swim in 25°C geothermal waters – experiencing "A Song of Ice and Fire" in reality. ▪ Maelifell Volcano A perfect green conical peak resembling matcha-dusted dessert. When post-rain sunlight pierces the mist, the mountain glows mysteriously – photographers call it "Iceland's Emerald." ▪ Kerlingarfjöll (Hell Valley) The Highlands' most dreamlike steam valley where colorful rocks bubble with hot springs. Summer mists transform it into an ethereal wonderland – perfect for contemplative wandering and photography. - 🚗Highlands Travel Tips ✅F-numbered mountain roads require 4WD vehicles only – regular cars risk heavy fines ✅Rent a 4x4 with full insurance (gravel damage coverage ⚠️ mandatory) ✅Beginners should join local Chinese-guided tours for safety and best photo ops - 🗺️ Highlands Survival Guide ❗Check road.is daily for closures (some areas flood after storms) ❗Always fill your tank – some stretches have no gas for 200km ❗Never step on moss!

The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly.

If the Maldives is synonymous with a paradise getaway, then Miyakojima in Japan is its Eastern counterpart. 🌴 Rosewood Miyakojima — Rosewood's first property in Japan, redefining "understated luxury" to its pinnacle upon opening. 🏝 Where is Miyakojima, and why is it worth a special trip? Located on the southernmost island of Okinawa Prefecture, it boasts clearer waters and more pristine beaches than the mainland, epitomizing the dreamy "Miyako Blue" seen in Japanese dramas and magazines. 📍 Fly to Miyako Airport from Tokyo, Osaka, Naha, etc., followed by a 20-minute drive to the resort. ✔ Nestled between sugarcane fields and white sand beaches, the hotel naturally shields you from all noise. 🪵 Architectural Aesthetics: 55 All-Ocean-View Villas, Infused with Ryukyu Poetry Designed by Dutch architect Piet Boon in collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate, the resort uses local Ryukyu limestone and natural materials to blend "modern wabi-sabi × tropical wilderness" into a poetic ambiance. Each villa features: 🏊‍♀️ Private pool 🌿 Tropical garden 🌅 Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the "Miyako Blue" sea Ultimate privacy, undisturbed 💎 What defines Rosewood's "understated luxury"? Low-density design with only 55 villas, offering such spaciousness it feels like having the entire beach to yourself. Service reflects Rosewood's signature "gentle yet restrained" approach—every interaction is perfectly measured. SPA and wellness integrate sustainability, using local plants, sea salt, wind, and sound as healing elements. Dining highlights the "true essence of island ingredients"—light, uncomplicated, and pure as air. 🌿 Final Thoughts: A "filter-free" luxury island escape Many hotels boast scenery, but what truly moves people is the silent power of nature, architecture, and humanity in harmony. Rosewood Miyakojima is unpretentious and unhurried—it simply welcomes you quietly to disconnect in high quality, embracing Ryukyu's winds, sunlight, and ocean. 📌 Tips: • Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or solo healing journeys • Book peak seasons (especially spring/autumn and year-end holidays) early—it’s highly sought after • Miyakojima itself is perfect for light adventures: snorkeling, beach cycling, and exploring untouched shores

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

“Cyber city! It’s crazy!” That phrase from Jia-Kang-Ge (甲亢哥) went viral everywhere when he recently visited Chongqing. But honestly, Chongqing’s nights have long amazed countless photographers. The monorail weaving between skyscrapers, the sea of taxis beneath neon-red and green lights, the overpasses at dusk… Mist, lights, density, speed—every frame feels like living inside a movie. Below are some of my favorite cyberpunk-inspired shooting spots I’ve compiled over the past two years. You’ll find both popular angles and off-the-beaten-track gems—everything shoots with maximum atmosphere. 👌 ⸻ 1️⃣ Yalan International Tower (29th Floor Rooftop) • Entry: ¥30 per person • Best for late-night shots without weird colored show lights 2️⃣ Guanyinqiao Classic Spot • Navigate to North City Mall (Beicheng Tianjie) Gate 8 • Use a 2–5 second long exposure for that light-trail effect 3️⃣ Tangjiayuanzi Monorail Station, Exit 2 4️⃣ Daxigou Monorail Station • Feels like a “small‐town Japanese-style” monorail station 5️⃣ Qiānfó Temple & Chaotianmen in One Frame • Navigate to Himalaya Banquet Hall 6️⃣ Chaodong Road • Raffles City glowing in the distance 7️⃣ Under the Hongyan Village Bridge • No one else can get up there—must Photoshop yourself in 8️⃣ Xiejiawan Interchange & Egongyan Bridge • Navigate to Longteng Avenue / Xiexiaolu Intersection 9️⃣ Skywalk Outside Jiangbei Airport Arrival Hall • Rows of yellow Ferraris lined up perfectly—check it immediately upon landing. Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1️⃣0️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣ HaiShilù 75 Café Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1️⃣2️⃣ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1️⃣3️⃣ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1️⃣4️⃣ Shangqingsi Police Station 1️⃣5️⃣ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1️⃣6️⃣ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1️⃣7️⃣ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1️⃣8️⃣ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its “golden hour,” the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic. Snapping a photo isn’t hard; capturing Chongqing’s unique texture might take visiting several times. But every time I wander this city, I’m blown away again by its layers and rhythm. #mountaincityromance #cyberpunk #chongqing #chongqingtravel #chongqingphotography #chongqingphotospots #chongqingphotoheaven #chongqingphotoguide #urbannoir #neondreams #monorailmagic #cityoffogandlights #filmscenevibes #djimini3pro #cityscapeobsession

Navigate to "Mizuiro-tei" for a frontal shot near the fish vine sign. Continue uphill to the pagoda's rear by navigating to "Nishimukai-in." 2️⃣ Walk along the outer wall of Park Hyatt Kyoto up the hillside for a distant view of Yasaka Pagoda—a relatively undiscovered spot with few people, perfect for photos. 3️⃣ Ninenzaka: Navigate to "Niinii San" and stand in the middle of the road to capture the depth and rustic charm of the Japanese streets. 4️⃣ Intersection of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akuya Chaya" for a prime photo spot at the slope's turn. 5️⃣ On the way from Ninenzaka to Sannenzaka, the "Kyo Shirakawa" sign by the roadside is very picturesque. 6️⃣ Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akehodono-tei" and stroll along the bluestone-paved path lined with quaint old Japanese wooden houses. 7️⃣ Kiyomizu-dera: Stand on the Kiyomizu Stage for a panoramic view of Kyoto, or visit the "Okunoin" observation deck for the iconic Shinchan and Ran photo spot. ⚠️ Note: This route is entirely uphill and quite strenuous, but Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka get crowded early, so the earlier you go, the better the photos. To save energy, consider starting from Kiyomizu-dera and walking the route in reverse.

🇮🇸The Highlands are open for a limited time in summer – miss it and wait another year!|||In the coming Iceland: where daylight never ends, winds sweep between wilderness and snow-capped mountains, and sunlight transforms the land into a divine palette – volcanoes glow red, rivers shimmer blue, mossy plains stay green, while the Highlands' solitude shines golden. - 💬Why must you visit the Icelandic Highlands every summer?

Hike deep into the valley to Eyjafjallajökull viewpoint, overlooking remnants of the 2010 eruption – hearing Earth's subterranean whispers. ▪ Askja Caldera An instantly lovable ice-blue lake hidden in volcanic depths. Trek across black deserts to reach Viti crater, then (in summer) swim in 25°C geothermal waters – experiencing "A Song of Ice and Fire" in reality. ▪ Maelifell Volcano A perfect green conical peak resembling matcha-dusted dessert. When post-rain sunlight pierces the mist, the mountain glows mysteriously – photographers call it "Iceland's Emerald." ▪ Kerlingarfjöll (Hell Valley) The Highlands' most dreamlike steam valley where colorful rocks bubble with hot springs.

The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly. Jiushen Bay's summer is waiting for you to push open this wooden door. -

If the Maldives is synonymous with a paradise getaway, then Miyakojima in Japan is its Eastern counterpart. 🌴 Rosewood Miyakojima — Rosewood's first property in Japan, redefining "understated luxury" to its pinnacle upon opening. 🏝 Where is Miyakojima, and why is it worth a special trip? Located on the southernmost island of Okinawa Prefecture, it boasts clearer waters and more pristine beaches than the mainland, epitomizing the dreamy "Miyako Blue" seen in Japanese dramas and magazines. 📍 Fly to Miyako Airport from Tokyo, Osaka, Naha, etc., followed by a 20-minute drive to the resort. ✔ Nestled between sugarcane fields and white sand beaches, the hotel naturally shields you from all noise. 🪵 Architectural Aesthetics: 55 All-Ocean-View Villas, Infused with Ryukyu Poetry Designed by Dutch architect Piet Boon in collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate, the resort uses local Ryukyu limestone and natural materials to blend "modern wabi-sabi × tropical wilderness" into a poetic ambiance. Each villa features: 🏊‍♀️ Private pool 🌿 Tropical garden 🌅 Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the "Miyako Blue" sea Ultimate privacy, undisturbed 💎 What defines Rosewood's "understated luxury"? Low-density design with only 55 villas, offering such spaciousness it feels like having the entire beach to yourself. Service reflects Rosewood's signature "gentle yet restrained" approach—every interaction is perfectly measured. SPA and wellness integrate sustainability, using local plants, sea salt, wind, and sound as healing elements. Dining highlights the "true essence of island ingredients"—light, uncomplicated, and pure as air. 🌿 Final Thoughts: A "filter-free" luxury island escape Many hotels boast scenery, but what truly moves people is the silent power of nature, architecture, and humanity in harmony.

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

“Cyber city! It’s crazy!” That phrase from Jia-Kang-Ge (甲亢哥) went viral everywhere when he recently visited Chongqing. But honestly, Chongqing’s nights have long amazed countless photographers. The monorail weaving between skyscrapers, the sea of taxis beneath neon-red and green lights, the overpasses at dusk… Mist, lights, density, speed—every frame feels like living inside a movie. Below are some of my favorite cyberpunk-inspired shooting spots I’ve compiled over the past two years. You’ll find both popular angles and off-the-beaten-track gems—everything shoots with maximum atmosphere. 👌 ⸻ 1️⃣ Yalan International Tower (29th Floor Rooftop) • Entry: ¥30 per person • Best for late-night shots without weird colored show lights 2️⃣ Guanyinqiao Classic Spot • Navigate to North City Mall (Beicheng Tianjie) Gate 8 • Use a 2–5 second long exposure for that light-trail effect 3️⃣ Tangjiayuanzi Monorail Station, Exit 2 4️⃣ Daxigou Monorail Station • Feels like a “small‐town Japanese-style” monorail station 5️⃣ Qiānfó Temple & Chaotianmen in One Frame • Navigate to Himalaya Banquet Hall 6️⃣ Chaodong Road • Raffles City glowing in the distance 7️⃣ Under the Hongyan Village Bridge • No one else can get up there—must Photoshop yourself in 8️⃣ Xiejiawan Interchange & Egongyan Bridge • Navigate to Longteng Avenue / Xiexiaolu Intersection 9️⃣ Skywalk Outside Jiangbei Airport Arrival Hall • Rows of yellow Ferraris lined up perfectly—check it immediately upon landing. Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1️⃣0️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣ HaiShilù 75 Café Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1️⃣2️⃣ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1️⃣3️⃣ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1️⃣4️⃣ Shangqingsi Police Station 1️⃣5️⃣ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1️⃣6️⃣ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1️⃣7️⃣ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1️⃣8️⃣ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its “golden hour,” the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic. Snapping a photo isn’t hard; capturing Chongqing’s unique texture might take visiting several times. But every time I wander this city, I’m blown away again by its layers and rhythm. #mountaincityromance #cyberpunk #chongqing #chongqingtravel #chongqingphotography #chongqingphotospots #chongqingphotoheaven #chongqingphotoguide #urbannoir #neondreams #monorailmagic #cityoffogandlights #filmscenevibes #djimini3pro #cityscapeobsession

Navigate to "Mizuiro-tei" for a frontal shot near the fish vine sign. Continue uphill to the pagoda's rear by navigating to "Nishimukai-in." 2️⃣ Walk along the outer wall of Park Hyatt Kyoto up the hillside for a distant view of Yasaka Pagoda—a relatively undiscovered spot with few people, perfect for photos. 3️⃣ Ninenzaka: Navigate to "Niinii San" and stand in the middle of the road to capture the depth and rustic charm of the Japanese streets. 4️⃣ Intersection of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akuya Chaya" for a prime photo spot at the slope's turn. 5️⃣ On the way from Ninenzaka to Sannenzaka, the "Kyo Shirakawa" sign by the roadside is very picturesque. 6️⃣ Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akehodono-tei" and stroll along the bluestone-paved path lined with quaint old Japanese wooden houses. 7️⃣ Kiyomizu-dera: Stand on the Kiyomizu Stage for a panoramic view of Kyoto, or visit the "Okunoin" observation deck for the iconic Shinchan and Ran photo spot. ⚠️ Note: This route is entirely uphill and quite strenuous, but Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka get crowded early, so the earlier you go, the better the photos. To save energy, consider starting from Kiyomizu-dera and walking the route in reverse.

🇮🇸The Highlands are open for a limited time in summer – miss it and wait another year!|||In the coming Iceland: where daylight never ends, winds sweep between wilderness and snow-capped mountains, and sunlight transforms the land into a divine palette – volcanoes glow red, rivers shimmer blue, mossy plains stay green, while the Highlands' solitude shines golden. - 💬Why must you visit the Icelandic Highlands every summer? Because it's "Europe's last uninhabited frontier," only accessible from late May to September each year, remaining ice-locked and isolated the rest of the time. Here, you step not just into Iceland's heartland, but into the planet's most primordial landscape. - 📍5 Must-See Wonders of Iceland's Summer Highlands ▪ Landmannalaugar Rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and wild hot springs weave together into a rainbow valley. Try the 3-hour summer hiking loop through black lava to multicolored peaks – like walking through a living painting.

Hike deep into the valley to Eyjafjallajökull viewpoint, overlooking remnants of the 2010 eruption – hearing Earth's subterranean whispers. ▪ Askja Caldera An instantly lovable ice-blue lake hidden in volcanic depths. Trek across black deserts to reach Viti crater, then (in summer) swim in 25°C geothermal waters – experiencing "A Song of Ice and Fire" in reality. ▪ Maelifell Volcano A perfect green conical peak resembling matcha-dusted dessert. When post-rain sunlight pierces the mist, the mountain glows mysteriously – photographers call it "Iceland's Emerald." ▪ Kerlingarfjöll (Hell Valley) The Highlands' most dreamlike steam valley where colorful rocks bubble with hot springs. Summer mists transform it into an ethereal wonderland – perfect for contemplative wandering and photography. - 🚗Highlands Travel Tips ✅F-numbered mountain roads require 4WD vehicles only – regular cars risk heavy fines ✅Rent a 4x4 with full insurance (gravel damage coverage ⚠️ mandatory) ✅Beginners should join local Chinese-guided tours for safety and best photo ops - 🗺️ Highlands Survival Guide ❗Check road.is daily for closures (some areas flood after storms) ❗Always fill your tank – some stretches have no gas for 200km ❗Never step on moss!

The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly. Jiushen Bay's summer is waiting for you to push open this wooden door. -

If the Maldives is synonymous with a paradise getaway, then Miyakojima in Japan is its Eastern counterpart. 🌴 Rosewood Miyakojima — Rosewood's first property in Japan, redefining "understated luxury" to its pinnacle upon opening. 🏝 Where is Miyakojima, and why is it worth a special trip? Located on the southernmost island of Okinawa Prefecture, it boasts clearer waters and more pristine beaches than the mainland, epitomizing the dreamy "Miyako Blue" seen in Japanese dramas and magazines. 📍 Fly to Miyako Airport from Tokyo, Osaka, Naha, etc., followed by a 20-minute drive to the resort. ✔ Nestled between sugarcane fields and white sand beaches, the hotel naturally shields you from all noise. 🪵 Architectural Aesthetics: 55 All-Ocean-View Villas, Infused with Ryukyu Poetry Designed by Dutch architect Piet Boon in collaboration with Mitsubishi Estate, the resort uses local Ryukyu limestone and natural materials to blend "modern wabi-sabi × tropical wilderness" into a poetic ambiance. Each villa features: 🏊‍♀️ Private pool 🌿 Tropical garden 🌅 Floor-to-ceiling windows framing the "Miyako Blue" sea Ultimate privacy, undisturbed 💎 What defines Rosewood's "understated luxury"? Low-density design with only 55 villas, offering such spaciousness it feels like having the entire beach to yourself. Service reflects Rosewood's signature "gentle yet restrained" approach—every interaction is perfectly measured. SPA and wellness integrate sustainability, using local plants, sea salt, wind, and sound as healing elements. Dining highlights the "true essence of island ingredients"—light, uncomplicated, and pure as air. 🌿 Final Thoughts: A "filter-free" luxury island escape Many hotels boast scenery, but what truly moves people is the silent power of nature, architecture, and humanity in harmony. Rosewood Miyakojima is unpretentious and unhurried—it simply welcomes you quietly to disconnect in high quality, embracing Ryukyu's winds, sunlight, and ocean. 📌 Tips: • Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or solo healing journeys • Book peak seasons (especially spring/autumn and year-end holidays) early—it’s highly sought after • Miyakojima itself is perfect for light adventures: snorkeling, beach cycling, and exploring untouched shores

For a perfect summer family trip, I highly recommend Mile with its pleasant 22°C climate! This hidden gem offers an ideal "reverse tourism" experience.

Afternoon: Visit Jianshui Ancient Town to admire the ethnic-style Chaoyang Tower and the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan"—the Zhu Family Garden.

Afternoon: Head to Honghe Valley’s Tent Camp. **DAY4: Yuanyang → Fuxian Lake** Morning: Enjoy a leisurely private camp retreat, with a guided light hike through Yuanyang’s terraced fields. Afternoon: Arrive at Stone Village, then unwind by serene Fuxian Lake for a breathtaking sunset. **DAY5: Fuxian Lake → Kunming → Departure** Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also fantastic for relaxation—offering both ocean-like vistas and tranquil downtime. **Travel Tips** • This route is far less crowded than Yunnan’s tourist hotspots—perfect for peak-season escapes. • Yunnan’s UV rays are strong year-round; pack hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. • Large temperature swings between day and night—bring extra layers.

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

“Cyber city! It’s crazy!” That phrase from Jia-Kang-Ge (甲亢哥) went viral everywhere when he recently visited Chongqing. But honestly, Chongqing’s nights have long amazed countless photographers. The monorail weaving between skyscrapers, the sea of taxis beneath neon-red and green lights, the overpasses at dusk… Mist, lights, density, speed—every frame feels like living inside a movie. Below are some of my favorite cyberpunk-inspired shooting spots I’ve compiled over the past two years. You’ll find both popular angles and off-the-beaten-track gems—everything shoots with maximum atmosphere. 👌 ⸻ 1️⃣ Yalan International Tower (29th Floor Rooftop) • Entry: ¥30 per person • Best for late-night shots without weird colored show lights 2️⃣ Guanyinqiao Classic Spot • Navigate to North City Mall (Beicheng Tianjie) Gate 8 • Use a 2–5 second long exposure for that light-trail effect 3️⃣ Tangjiayuanzi Monorail Station, Exit 2 4️⃣ Daxigou Monorail Station • Feels like a “small‐town Japanese-style” monorail station 5️⃣ Qiānfó Temple & Chaotianmen in One Frame • Navigate to Himalaya Banquet Hall 6️⃣ Chaodong Road • Raffles City glowing in the distance 7️⃣ Under the Hongyan Village Bridge • No one else can get up there—must Photoshop yourself in 8️⃣ Xiejiawan Interchange & Egongyan Bridge • Navigate to Longteng Avenue / Xiexiaolu Intersection 9️⃣ Skywalk Outside Jiangbei Airport Arrival Hall • Rows of yellow Ferraris lined up perfectly—check it immediately upon landing. Chongqing is truly ahead of its time. 1️⃣0️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣ HaiShilù 75 Café Checkpoint • Looks even more epic at night 1️⃣2️⃣ Wangjiang Apartment 8th-Floor Terrace 1️⃣3️⃣ (Three Spots Around Liziba Station) • Navigate to Feihu Riverside Hotpot 1️⃣4️⃣ Shangqingsi Police Station 1️⃣5️⃣ Lansheng Pavilion • Taxi to Datianwan Primary School and avoid the stairs 1️⃣6️⃣ Under Chongqing Grand Theatre by the Riverside 1️⃣7️⃣ On the Jialing River Bridge at Zengjiayan 1️⃣8️⃣ Inside Haitangxi Monorail Station This trip to Chongqing, I flew on Air China—super punctual and comfortable. Touching down right as the city hit its “golden hour,” the view out the window felt like the opening scene of a film. I chose to stay at Donghewan Hotel in the city center—super convenient for both metro and monorail, so chasing spots was effortless. The lobby and room designs were also incredibly photogenic. Snapping a photo isn’t hard; capturing Chongqing’s unique texture might take visiting several times. But every time I wander this city, I’m blown away again by its layers and rhythm. #mountaincityromance #cyberpunk #chongqing #chongqingtravel #chongqingphotography #chongqingphotospots #chongqingphotoheaven #chongqingphotoguide #urbannoir #neondreams #monorailmagic #cityoffogandlights #filmscenevibes #djimini3pro #cityscapeobsession

Start your Citywalk at Yasaka Pagoda (Hōkan-ji Temple) at 6:00 AM, passing through Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, with Kiyomizu-dera as the final destination. The entire route takes 3 hours. Kyoto's ancient stone-paved paths and staggered traditional Japanese wooden houses create perfect photo backdrops at every quiet street corner!! 📷 🗺️ Kyoto Citywalk Route Mizuiro-tei → (🚶6min) Park Hyatt Kyoto → (🚶2min) Niinii San → (🚶2min) Akuya Chaya → (🚶2min) Nishimukai-in → (🚶3min) Akehodono-tei → (🚶8min) Kiyomizu-dera 1️⃣ Yasaka Pagoda, Kyoto's iconic landmark. Navigate to "Mizuiro-tei" for a frontal shot near the fish vine sign. Continue uphill to the pagoda's rear by navigating to "Nishimukai-in." 2️⃣ Walk along the outer wall of Park Hyatt Kyoto up the hillside for a distant view of Yasaka Pagoda—a relatively undiscovered spot with few people, perfect for photos. 3️⃣ Ninenzaka: Navigate to "Niinii San" and stand in the middle of the road to capture the depth and rustic charm of the Japanese streets. 4️⃣ Intersection of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akuya Chaya" for a prime photo spot at the slope's turn. 5️⃣ On the way from Ninenzaka to Sannenzaka, the "Kyo Shirakawa" sign by the roadside is very picturesque. 6️⃣ Sannenzaka: Navigate to "Akehodono-tei" and stroll along the bluestone-paved path lined with quaint old Japanese wooden houses. 7️⃣ Kiyomizu-dera: Stand on the Kiyomizu Stage for a panoramic view of Kyoto, or visit the "Okunoin" observation deck for the iconic Shinchan and Ran photo spot. ⚠️ Note: This route is entirely uphill and quite strenuous, but Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka get crowded early, so the earlier you go, the better the photos. To save energy, consider starting from Kiyomizu-dera and walking the route in reverse.

🇮🇸The Highlands are open for a limited time in summer – miss it and wait another year!|||In the coming Iceland: where daylight never ends, winds sweep between wilderness and snow-capped mountains, and sunlight transforms the land into a divine palette – volcanoes glow red, rivers shimmer blue, mossy plains stay green, while the Highlands' solitude shines golden. - 💬Why must you visit the Icelandic Highlands every summer? Because it's "Europe's last uninhabited frontier," only accessible from late May to September each year, remaining ice-locked and isolated the rest of the time. Here, you step not just into Iceland's heartland, but into the planet's most primordial landscape. - 📍5 Must-See Wonders of Iceland's Summer Highlands ▪ Landmannalaugar Rhyolite mountains, lava fields, and wild hot springs weave together into a rainbow valley. Try the 3-hour summer hiking loop through black lava to multicolored peaks – like walking through a living painting. Pack a quick-dry towel for the natural hot spring finale. ▪ Þórsmörk Valley Where volcanoes and glaciers face off dramatically (a Game of Thrones filming location). Hike deep into the valley to Eyjafjallajökull viewpoint, overlooking remnants of the 2010 eruption – hearing Earth's subterranean whispers. ▪ Askja Caldera An instantly lovable ice-blue lake hidden in volcanic depths. Trek across black deserts to reach Viti crater, then (in summer) swim in 25°C geothermal waters – experiencing "A Song of Ice and Fire" in reality. ▪ Maelifell Volcano A perfect green conical peak resembling matcha-dusted dessert. When post-rain sunlight pierces the mist, the mountain glows mysteriously – photographers call it "Iceland's Emerald." ▪ Kerlingarfjöll (Hell Valley) The Highlands' most dreamlike steam valley where colorful rocks bubble with hot springs. Summer mists transform it into an ethereal wonderland – perfect for contemplative wandering and photography. - 🚗Highlands Travel Tips ✅F-numbered mountain roads require 4WD vehicles only – regular cars risk heavy fines ✅Rent a 4x4 with full insurance (gravel damage coverage ⚠️ mandatory) ✅Beginners should join local Chinese-guided tours for safety and best photo ops - 🗺️ Highlands Survival Guide ❗Check road.is daily for closures (some areas flood after storms) ❗Always fill your tank – some stretches have no gas for 200km ❗Never step on moss!

The rainy season in June in the southern region always arrives unreasonably. When the city is shrouded in oppressive heat, Escape into the rain at Jiushen Bay in Fang County. Bamboo forest, rain sounds, the aroma of yellow wine... The energy of solitude is fully charged here. - 🍵 > Mountain Rain with Tea Sleep soundly on a rainy night and wake up naturally. The fresh scent mixed with the rain fills your nostrils. This is a unique mountain ritual for rejuvenation. Sip the tea, initially bitter but then sweet. Time loses its measure here. Flip through a few pages of a casual book, listen to the white noise of rain. It's a wordless tranquility. 📗 . ☔ > Morning Rain Cleansing An umbrella separates you from the rain curtain. The wooden walkway beneath your feet feels cool. The mist ahead swallows the distant mountains and then suddenly disperses. With every step, you can hear the bamboo cracking as it grows. Accumulated fatigue and distractions Unknowingly flow away with the stream. . 🧘 > Healing Yoga The mountain breeze carries the moist scent of vegetation, brushing against your neck. Your body descends with the sound of rain, Facing your true self. The entire mountain condenses into a force of extension. . 👂 > Singing Bowl Resonance The deep and prolonged hum of the singing bowl begins. Gentle vibrations travel from your eardrums straight to your heart. The noise and anxiety brought by the city Are soothed layer by layer by the ancient sound waves and the harmony of nature. . 🌿 > Handmade Crafts in the Wild Pick fresh mugwort after the rain, Place it in a bamboo basket and make it into ornaments. The refreshing medicinal aroma Brings back memories of the mosquito-repellent sachets made by grandma in childhood. . 🥃 > Evening Tipsiness The restaurant glows warmly, and the long table is filled with local flavors. Dinner at Jiushen Bay always carries the authenticity of Fang County's wilderness. Local free-range chicken, mixed with the smoky aroma. Fang County yellow wine shines with an amber hue. Take a sip, first tasting the rice aroma, Followed by a slightly sour fermented aftertaste. It instantly warms the damp chill of a rainy day. . 💤 > Rainy Night Slumber The wilderness is swollen with moisture. Treehouses appear and disappear in the mist. 🌲 Open the window to see the bamboo sea, close your eyes to sleep to the sound of rain. Snuggle into the soft linen bedding. The fluffy, dry quilt embraces your body. Listening to the rustling sound of rain hitting bamboo leaves, The comforting white noise bids you goodnight. Fall into a deep dream without an alarm clock. - 🏠: Jiushen Bay Rural Resort Location: Sanhai Village, Chengguan Town, Fang County, Shiyan, Hubei 🍃 Rain patters, greenery stretches endlessly. Jiushen Bay's summer is waiting for you to push open this wooden door. -
