I happened to be back in Melbourne during Yayoi Kusama's polka dot exhibition, and I definitely couldn't miss it. Many exhibits are being shown in Australia for the first time, and the popularity is evident in the fact that tickets need to be purchased several days in advance. 🎫 How to book: This exhibition is extremely popular, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance on the NGV's official website to avoid sell-outs. If you prefer a less crowded viewing experience, it's recommended to book the earliest time slot, around 9:00 am, when there are the fewest people. 💰 AUD 38 ❤️ Must-see photo spots: Most of the amazing photo opportunities are in Part 2. 1️⃣ World premiere! The stunning new work - the kaleidoscopic Infinity Mirrored Room. It's like stepping into a parallel universe! 2️⃣ Australian premiere! The 5-meter-tall sculpture "Dancing Pumpkin" is super cute and incredibly photogenic. 3️⃣ Classic polka dot paintings + immersive mirror rooms + psychedelic sculptures - every room is a great photo op. 4️⃣ Pumpkin Mirror Room: There's a queue, and each person only has about 20 seconds to look around. You won't have time to use a camera here, so it's recommended to use your phone to take pictures through the small opening. 📌 Exhibition tips: 1️⃣ Attire: It's recommended to wear form-fitting clothing in solid colors (black, white, beige, or other low-saturation colors). The exhibition is full of highly saturated colors and patterns, which might be overwhelming for those with trypophobia. 2️⃣ Viewing order: You can scan your ticket and enter up to half an hour before your entry time. You must visit Part 1 before Part 2. If you see Part 2 first, you won't be able to go back to Part 1, as tickets are scanned separately for each part. 3️⃣ Bring a friend who's good at taking photos, and be patient. The popular spots require quick shots and waiting. 4️⃣ There are also many photo opportunities in the public areas on the first floor. You can take photos for free with a pumpkin sculpture, a field of silver balls, and the polka dot balloons hanging from the ceiling in the rest area. 5️⃣ The exhibition merchandise is also great. I ended up buying a polka dot backpack and a makeup bag. 📍 National Gallery of Victoria ⏰ Dates: December 15, 2024–April 21, 2025, 9:00 am–5:00 pm

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!

🚗Day 1: West Lake Classic Loop + Night Tour of Hefang Street 🌅Morning: West Lake Highlights ① Broken Bridge: Arrive before 7 AM to avoid crowds and experience the romantic setting of "Legend of the White Snake." The rowing boats in the morning mist against the lake scenery resemble a Chinese ink painting. ② Bai Causeway Stroll: Walk from Broken Bridge along Bai Causeway to Solitary Hill, passing by "Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake." Visit Xiling Seal Society (perfect photo spot with red walls and dark tiles). ③ Hand-rowed Boat Tour: Choose the "Guozhuang to Maojiabu" route (about 180 yuan/hour), glide through reed marshes, encounter ducks and water lilies, while boatmen share vivid West Lake legends. 🍜Lunch Recommendations: Lou Wai Lou (must-try West Lake Vinegar Fish and Dongpo Pork), or try Dragon Well Shrimp at "Tea Village" on Beishan Street. 🌇Afternoon: Leifeng Pagoda + Su Causeway ① Leifeng Pagoda: Climb for panoramic views of West Lake, best at sunset for amazing light and shadows. Use a telephoto lens to capture the pagoda's reflection on the lake. ② Su Causeway Cycling: Rent a shared bike to ride along Su Causeway, stopping at Flower Harbor to feed koi fish and admire lotus flowers (summer only). 🌃Evening: Hefang Street + Southern Song Imperial Street ① Hefang Street: Avoid the main street, turn into Dajing Lane to try Grandma Sun's Scallion Pancakes (10 yuan/serving) and Jiaoutan's osmanthus lotus root powder. ② Southern Song Imperial Street: When the lanterns light up, visit "Southern Song Bookstore" and "Cat's Sky Castle" to experience the blend of ancient and modern street life. 🛕Day 2: Lingyin Temple Zen + Song Dynasty Time Travel 🌞Morning: Lingyin Temple + Faxisi Temple ① Lingyin Temple: Enter before 6:30 AM to avoid tour groups.

If you can only choose one hotel in Bali, make sure to firmly lock in the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay. Although it has been open for thirty years, time seems to have only left behind classics without any traces. . Suddenly, I understand why Four Seasons has so many loyal fans and repeat guests. In an era where luxury hotels constantly pursue customization, Four Seasons still maintains its highly standardized service process. Sometimes it may seem to lack a bit of "personal touch," but on second thought, this 30-year-old hotel has probably accompanied many people’s growth. Perhaps from their childhood to now traveling with their own children, this standardized service has recorded their moments, becoming a travel habit. No matter which Four Seasons you visit worldwide, it can awaken memories unique to Four Seasons. . 🏨 About the hotel ——————————- First is the location. Compared to the cliffside-famous Uluwatu, the Jimbaran area is flatter and more suitable for travelers of all ages. There aren’t many slopes or stairs, which is friendlier for the lazy ones. Compared to the newly opened Raffles, which focuses more on privacy and couples, Four Seasons achieves a better balance. Whether for family trips or honeymoon couples, everyone can find their own comfort zone. The room types are more diverse, and the prices are much more affordable. Two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments offer excellent value, making them perfect for large families or groups of friends traveling together. Although it has been open for 30 years, the hotel is continuously being renovated. While the exterior may show some age, once inside the rooms, you won’t feel that at all. . 🏖️ Jimbaran Beach ——————————- Four Seasons has its own beach club, which is much quieter and cleaner compared to other beaches. However, for the southern Bali area overall, don’t expect too high standards for sand and water quality. Staying at the hotel is always your best choice. . With more luxury brands joining the Bali area, hotel competition has become increasingly intense. But overall, if it’s your first time in Bali, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay is a choice you won’t go wrong with. . If you want to know more about the hotel, feel free to discuss with us in the comments section. 👉Follow me👀 to discover more hidden gem hotels together!

Safari: A Luxurious Game Born from Rebellion In the 19th century, European aristocrats grew tired of ballroom dances and afternoon teas, taking their rifles and champagne to the African savannah. The term "Safari" originates from the Swahili word for "journey," but they turned it into the ultimate survival game. · The Original Safari: British officers chasing lions on horseback, Persian carpets in tents, and servants serving meals with silverware. · The Modern Evolution: Rifles replaced by telephoto lenses, killing replaced by gazing, but the luxurious essence remains—"paying for the privilege of solitude in the wilderness." 💸 Expensive? Because you're paying for a "rare human experience." "When a baboon jumped onto my open-air bathtub, I suddenly understood why Hemingway spent his fortune to stay in Africa." 🚁 Highlights of Tanzania's Luxury Safari Camps: 🛖 Prime Camp Locations: Stay at top-tier luxury camps throughout, with three camps strategically located along migration routes and volcanic sanctuaries. 👦 3-to-1 Butler Service: Driver, camp guide, and personal butler—someone even opens your bottle for you! 🦁 Animal Wake-Up Calls: Drinking coffee by the pool while watching elephants stroll by? That's just the basics! ✈ No Dusty Roads: All transfers via small planes within the reserve, saving 6 hours = chasing 3 more cheetah hunts. 🔭 Expert Guides: Tracking experts who can discuss animal sociology and even know the lion pride's genealogy. ⛺ Daily Itinerary｜8 Days Living in the Set of "The Lion King" D1 First Kiss with the Wild｜Stay by the Elephant Watering Hole After landing, head straight to Serval Wildlife: tents located by the animal watering path, listening to lion roars at night with champagne in hand. D2 Living in the Clouds｜King of the Tree Tops Take a small plane to Elewana Tree Tops Camp: elevated treehouses with 360° viewing platforms. Relax by the pool counting giraffes passing by and watching them drink water. D3 On the Volcano｜Mars Base Camp Traverse Ngorongoro and stay at The Highlands. ⚠ Mind-blowing camp: bubble tents at 3,000 meters altitude! Transparent domes for stargazing. D4 Full Day in the Crater｜Royal Picnic Drive into the volcanic basin in a 4x4👉 Black rhinos within 5 meters! Dine on freshly grilled steak with zebras grazing just 10 meters away. D5 Into the Heart of Migration｜Exclusive Mara River Fly to northern Serengeti and stay at One Nature Mara River. First impression: the pool overlooks crocodile banks, with hippos flipping nearby. Highlight of the day: stopping a wildebeest army at dusk! Thousands of hooves shaking the ground like an earthquake. D6-D7 VIP Viewing of the Great Migration Morning: Use the camp's "invisible 4x4" to stake out by the river👉 Witness wildebeests leaping cliffs vs crocodile death rolls. Afternoon: Champagne bar by the river watching "life-and-death drama," with the butler handing you binoculars: "Three o'clock direction, cheetah teaching cubs." Night: Jungle private dinner interrupted by an elephant herd! Chef holding plates retreating becomes a classic joke. D8 Farewell Gift｜Soul-Stirring Encounter In the final 2 hours before departure, the guide suddenly turns into the bushes: "Look! A leopard carrying her cubs to move!" Crying over photos on the plane: This isn't just a trip; it's a soul-awakening experience. 💸 Why is it priced at $10,000+ per person? Camp exclusivity: One Nature monopolizes the Mara River bend, $2,000+/night during peak season, and you still need to book fast. Transportation costs: 3 small plane transfers = $1,500/person, saving 12 hours of bumpy roads for golden moments of wildebeest crossing. Guide expertise: Former Maasai warriors and animal science PhDs who can assess cheetah health through feces. Hidden costs: Camps pay $500,000 annually for anti-poaching security, with armed guards driving away lions at night. 📌 Tips from Experienced Travelers Photography: Bring a telephoto lens of at least 200mm! Phones are useless for capturing lion hunts. Timing: Visit Mara River from July to October, or see birthing season from January to February (book tents a year in advance!). Tipping: $20/day for guides; ours showed us three cheetah meals. Luggage: Small plane luggage limit is 15kg/person; pack light, you won't need much. Visa: Tanzania supports e-visas, passport valid for six months, and arrange for the yellow fever vaccine in advance. "Don't ask if it's worth it. Those who dare entrust their lives to the wilderness have already unlocked the secret to happiness." 🌍✨

Listen up! When visiting Hangzhou during May Day holiday, avoid the crowded Broken Bridge and Lingyin Temple. Even the most beautiful places lose their charm when overcrowded. Hangzhou actually has many hidden gems to explore. Today I'm sharing a secret route just for you ✔️ Forest greenery ✔️ Academic atmosphere ✔️ Flowing streams This route reveals another side of Hangzhou Perfect for leisurely strolls during this spring-to-summer transition . 🚶City walk route: Orioles Singing in the Willows➡Wansong Academy➡White Snake Flying Bridge➡Changqiao Park➡Changqiao Stream Ecological Park➡Silk Museum . 1️⃣ Orioles Singing in the Willows 🎫Free One of the Ten Scenes of West Lake, this spring-famous attraction sees fewer tourists due to its slightly remote location. When spring arrives, thousands of weeping willows sway in the breeze while orioles sing, making you feel like you've stepped into a classical painting of Jiangnan. 📸For Instagram-worthy photos, navigate to "New Henghe Bridge." Best lighting and fewer people before 9 AM 2️⃣ Wansong Academy 🎫10 yuan One of Hangzhou's oldest academies and the legendary place where Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai "studied together for three years." This quiet, secluded spot features only ancient pines and cypress trees complementing the traditional architecture. The Yuxiu Pavilion and Mingdao Hall preserve Ming and Qing dynasty styles. A small hiking trail behind the academy offers panoramic views of West Lake. 3️⃣ White Snake Flying Bridge 🎫Free Just a 5-minute walk left from Wansong Academy, you'll find this little-known bridge where legend says Lady White Snake once "flew across" to find Xu Xian. The bridge has a beautiful "S" shape and is hidden among trees. The surroundings are peaceful with only occasional locals taking walks, making it perfect for traditional-style photography. 4️⃣ Changqiao Park and Changqiao Stream Ecological Park 🎫Free Changqiao Park is named after the "Eighteen Farewells" legend of Liang and Zhu, but the real surprise is the adjacent "Changqiao Stream Ecological Park." Almost tourist-free, it features winding wooden boardwalks, swaying irises, and crystal-clear streams—a perfect place to while away the time. 5️⃣ China National Silk Museum 🎫Free (Closed on Mondays) This understated museum by West Lake is actually the world's largest silk museum. It showcases China's 5,000-year history of silk culture. With few visitors and free admission, the museum's spiral staircase and fashion gallery are very photogenic. The back garden features a mulberry grove that's peaceful and elegant. Allow 1-2 hours for your visit. . 📝Travel tips: 1. Transportation recommendation: walking🚶+ bus🚌+ cycling🚴 to save energy 2. Mosquitoes are starting to appear, so bring insect repellent 3. Few dining options near attractions, best to bring water and snacks
