Manzhouli, located on the China-Russia border, truly took my breath away. With its Russian-style castles and churches, my friends all thought I’d traveled abroad. The entire city is bathed in a candy-colored, fairy-tale filter. If you’re visiting Hulunbuir, set aside a day for this enchanting little town— you’ll find every romantic scene imaginable here. 🚗 Must-Visit Spots China-Russia Border Gate Scenic Area → Matryoshka Doll Square → Bear Xiaoman → Wedding Palace → Mammoth Park 📷 Photography Tips 📍 China-Russia Border Gate Scenic Area Visit in the morning—afternoon light is backlit. The Manzhouli Border Gate, standing tall through five generations, solemnly guards this land and is well worth a visit. 📍 Matryoshka Doll Square The landmark Matryoshka Hotel is here, much larger than expected. The vibrant buildings make for perfect photo ops. No need to enter the paid area—just snap pics outside. 📍 Bear Xiaoman Inside North Lake Park, you’ll find a giant pink strawberry bear. Drone shots here are spectacular. 📍 Wedding Palace Avoid mornings due to backlighting. This hidden hillside church is best photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens for a grander effect. It also offers panoramic views of Manzhouli and is ideal for sunsets. 📍 Mammoth Park Take the bus from downtown—it’s convenient, with a short walk from the stop. The park features giant candy-colored onion-dome castles, a Ferris wheel, and mammoth sculptures. Tickets are pricey, but you can photograph the castle from the parking lot without entering. 🚗 My Hulunbuir Itinerary Day 1️⃣ Arrive in Hailar → Explore city attractions → Stay in Hailar Day 2️⃣ Hailar → Moer River Cliff → Erguna Wetland → Erguna Day 3️⃣ Erguna → Birch Forest → Enhe Russian Ethnic Village → Shiwei Day 4️⃣ Shiwei → Cross the "Card Line" → Horseback riding on the prairie → Heishantou Day 5️⃣ Heishantou → Prairie train ride/grass sliding → Hulun Lake → Manzhouli Day 6️⃣ Border Gate → Matryoshka Square → Bear Xiaoman → Wedding Palace → Mammoth Park → Return to Hailar 📝 Travel Tips - **Transportation**: Attractions in Hulunbuir are far apart—self-driving is ideal. Expect 100+ km daily, but roads are smooth and beginner-friendly. - **Weather**: Prairie weather changes fast. Pack rain gear and a light jacket for temperature swings. - **Outfits**: Solid colors work best. A cowboy hat, baseball cap, or straw hat adds flair to photos. - **Gear**: Bring a telephoto lens for stunning prairie shots. A drone is a must for unique perspectives.

I must dedicate at least one summer of my life to Xinjiang! The scenery in Xinjiang during June and July is unparalleled in my heart. Divided by the Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang is split into Southern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang⛰️. Southern Xinjiang is known for its cultural charm, while Northern Xinjiang boasts breathtaking natural landscapes. If it's your first time visiting Xinjiang, I recommend starting with Northern Xinjiang❗ Grasslands, snow-capped mountains, valleys, hidden paradises... You can witness all of these in this season, and it's so beautiful it feels unreal! Here's an 8-day Northern Xinjiang itinerary to share❗ - 🚗 8-Day Northern Xinjiang Loop D1: Guangzhou ➠ Urumqi D2: Urumqi ➠ Tianchi Lake ➠ S21 Desert Highway ➠ Altay City D3: Altay ➠ Kanas D4: Kanas ➠ Poplar River D5: Poplar River ➠ Sailimu Lake Loop ➠ Yining D6: Yining ➠ Nalati D7: Nalati ➠ Duku Highway ➠ Urumqi D8: Urumqi ➠ Guangzhou - 🌲 Must-Visit Places in Northern Xinjiang: 🔸 Tianchi Lake: Just a 1.5-hour drive from Urumqi! A natural alpine lake with water as blue as gemstones. Legend has it that this is the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother of the West~ From the lakeside, you can gaze at the majestic Bogda Peak⛰️. 🔸 S21 Desert Highway: A must-travel route from Urumqi to Altay, passing through gobi deserts, sand dunes, and Yadan landforms, with a chance to encounter Ulungur Lake~ There are service areas along the way where you can get up close to the desert and camels. 🔸 Kanas: Kanas in summer is like a fairy tale world! It includes Fish Viewing Pavilion, Three Bays, Kanas Lake, and Baihaba. All routes require returning to the transfer center before heading to the next stop. 🔸 Sailimu Lake: There's a shade of blue called Sailimu Lake Blue, known as the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean—it's stunningly unreal~ The Kele Yongzhu area is teeming with swans! Highly recommend Pine Tree Head; climb a small hill to see a panoramic view of Sailimu Lake—absolutely divine! 🔸 Nalati: Mainly divided into three routes: the Aerial Grassland, River Valley Grassland, and Panlong Valley. The Aerial Grassland is the highlight of Nalati! It has three stops, with the first stop, Tianjietai, offering grass skiing, which is super fun! But the most photogenic spot is the third stop, Nomadic Family, where the internet-famous bridge is a popular photo spot. The further you go, the fewer people there are, and the more beautiful it gets. 🔸 Duku Highway: Spanning 561 kilometers, it crosses the Tianshan Mountains from south to north and is hailed as one of "China's Most Beautiful Highways." From Dushanzi, the road winds up the mountains, offering views of rivers, snow-capped peaks, forests, and grasslands... experiencing all four seasons in one day is truly spectacular! Even more amazing, we discovered a hidden gem at Kash River S-Bend near Tangbula, not far from the Qiaerma Service Area! No tickets required! · 🌟 Northern Xinjiang Tips: ➊ The UV rays are strong! Make sure to protect your skin and stay hydrated! ➋ The weather in Northern Xinjiang is unpredictable, with significant temperature differences between day and night, so always carry a windbreaker. ➌ The distances between attractions are vast, so having a car is essential!

Walking on a prairie nearly 4,000 meters above sea level is a unique travel experience you can only have in China. The absence of commercial tourism here preserves its pristine nature, making our journey even more refreshing and precious. ▼What is this prairie called and where is it? This place is called "Bakatay," and we refer to it as the "Bakatay Cloud Prairie." Located in Guide County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, it has an average altitude of 3,700 meters. ▼Why call it the "Cloud Prairie"? First, the high altitude makes you feel like you're "in the clouds." Second, Highway G310 ascends continuously before reaching Bakatay, and the top of this road is the Bakatay Prairie—a vast plateau platform, a natural pasture on the highlands. Thus, calling it the "Cloud Prairie" carries a dual meaning. ▼What’s the travel experience like at Bakatay Cloud Prairie? -A grand canyon splits through the prairie platform Sitting leisurely on the grassland, you can overlook the entire canyon. The vastness between heaven and earth lies beneath your feet in the clouds—a feeling of pure bliss and freedom. -In summer, the prairie blooms with flowers, perfect for photography Strolling through the prairie in summer, vibrant flowers bloom everywhere, turning the landscape into a fairyland and a photographer’s paradise. 🚙Practical Tips for Self-Driving 📱Navigation: Set "Bakatay" as your destination 🛣️Road Conditions: Highway G310 near Bakatay is fully paved 🅿️Parking: There are rest areas along the road, and some spots allow off-road parking ⚠️Note: Prevent altitude sickness; avoid intense running or jumping ⏳Duration: Allocate 1-2 hours for exploration ▶️All photos are originally shot and produced by Mr. Some Dog & Caicai Juan'er. ▶️The above content is based on personal travel experiences; apologies for any omissions. ▶️Due to time constraints, some scenes may have changed; please verify on-site. ▶️All attractions visited by Caicai Juan'er and Mr. Some Dog are accessible by sedan. ▶️Address and location info are provided by the website; for more details, leave a comment. 🔸🔹🔸 Join Caicai Juan'er and Mr. Some Dog on a self-driving adventure to explore hidden travel gems.

#thailandtrip 📍 Address: 111 Moo 3, Nong Thale, Mueang Krabi District, Krabi 81180, Thailand (Tucked along the calm shores of Tubkaek Beach, facing the scattered isles of the Andaman Sea) Phulay Bay is not simply a destination — it is an invitation. To exhale deeply. To slip beneath the surface of ordinary time. Behind its grand gates, the world softens into a dreamscape: lantern-lit walkways, private pavilions cradled by lotus ponds, and the sea itself arriving gently like a blessing. Each villa is a quiet realm of its own — shadowed by tropical palms, serenaded by cicadas, and touched by Thai craftsmanship born from devotion. The air is heavy with stillness, the kind that heals and humbles. At dusk, the horizon blooms in fire and gold, and all you can do is watch, wordless. This is not just luxury. It is presence. A rare still point in a moving world. Where even silence feels curated, and the ocean teaches you to listen again. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Allow space in your schedule to do nothing — the reward is immense. • Mornings are especially tranquil; a walk before sunrise is near spiritual. • Speak gently, move slowly. The space responds with peace. • Let the staff guide you — their grace is part of the experience. #PhulayBay #RitzCarltonReserve #KrabiLuxury #AndamanElegance #ThailandRetreat #LegendaryEscape #PhulayWhispers #SacredSilence#familytrip #localguides #海岛游

“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

If nature had a color palette, it would definitely be Western Australia! Having visited WA six times, I've reached Lucky Bay in Esperance to the south, Exmouth to the north, and Kalgoorlie for gold panning inland. From coastline to golden outback, WA truly has it all.

Swim with whale sharks from April to October 3️⃣ Albany-Esperance: Two hidden gem towns in southern WA, cool in summer. From January to April, you can spot orcas in Bremer Bay. Lucky Bay is often called Australia's most beautiful beach, while I personally love Greens Pool near Denmark 4️⃣ Margaret River: A classic holiday region with not just coastlines but towering forests and caves. From Busselton's underwater observatory to the Valley of the Giants treetop walk – perfect for families 5️⃣ Geraldton area: A photographer's dream road trip route featuring The Pinnacles, Hutt Lagoon, and Kalbarri National Park – already a well-established scenic drive Road trip routes: 1️⃣ Northern Route: 8-10 days Perth → Lancelin → Jurien Bay → The Pinnacles → Hutt Lagoon → Kalbarri National Park → Geraldton → Shark Bay → Monkey Mia → Carnarvon → Exmouth This journey showcases the Indian Ocean coastline – the most colorful stretch 2️⃣ Southern Route: 8-10 days I actually prefer the Margaret River region and Esperance in summer – Lucky Bay is truly unbeatable Perth → Busselton → Hamelin Bay → Leewin Lighthouse → Greens Pool → Albany → Esperance → Lucky Bay → Wave Rock → Perth Western Australia is so vast that even after multiple visits I haven't seen it all.

Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, I stumbled into a living Danish museum—windmills spinning under the California sun, the scent of cinnamon wafting by Andersen's bronze statue, and even the ostriches on street corners wear Nordic-patterned scarves! 🔴📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots · Free Nordic-Style Shots 1️⃣ Solvang Windmill (Intersection of Alisal Road & Copenhagen Dr): Morning sunlight filters through wooden leaves, casting dappled shadows on the windmill blades. Lean against the railing sideways, and you’ll instantly look like a still from *The Little Mermaid*. The souvenir shop nearby sells Viking ship models—perfect props for atmospheric shots! 2️⃣ Little Mermaid Statue (Center of Copenhagen Square): A half-scale replica of Copenhagen’s original, the bronze statue glows softly in the sunlight. Crouch to eye level and capture the colorful wooden houses in the background with a wide-angle lens—the perfect shot: "In California, colliding with Andersen’s inspiration." 3️⃣ Mission Drive Cobblestone Street (Entire Main Street): Century-old cobblestone streets flanked by half-timbered houses like a spilled paint palette. At 4 PM, the light is gentle—stand under the "Solvang Bakery" sign in a light-colored dress while a friend snaps a bird’s-eye view from the second floor, creating a clean, cinematic frame. 🔴🍴 A Taste of Denmark · Authentic Experiences 1️⃣ Paula’s Pancake House: Danish pancakes with raspberry jam—fluffy as clouds, drizzled with homemade jam for a sweet-tart balance. Order "a stack as tall as the windmill!" and you might get an extra dollop of cream with a knowing smile from the staff. 2️⃣ Olsen’s Danish Village Bakery: Heirloom butter cookies and cinnamon rolls—this century-old shop’s windows are stacked with golden tins. The cinnamon rolls are crispy outside, gooey inside, paired perfectly with hot chocolate, transporting you to a Copenhagen café. 3️⃣ Copenhagen Sausage Garden: "The Viking" platter—smoked venison sausage + mustard seeds + pickles. Skewer it with a bamboo stick, take a big bite, and let the juices burst on your tongue, embodying the Nordic spirit of braving the cold. 🔴🚶 Deep Dive · Fairytale Side Stories 1️⃣ Horse-Drawn Carriage Tour: A 25-minute loop around town, with the driver sharing architectural history. When passing "El Rancho Bowl," turn back to snap the red-roofed cottages framed by neon signs—cyberpunk meets Nordic fairytale! 2️⃣ Ostrich Feeding (OstrichLand USA): Ostriches stretch their necks, their warm beaks gently pecking feed from your palm. Brave souls can even try riding one for a photo op. 💡 Practical Tips 🚗 Parking: Free spots on Main Street fill up fast—arrive before 9 AM or park near the Visitor Center in the afternoon. 🧥 Attire: Bring a light jacket—valley winds pick up at dusk, dropping temperatures fast. 💡 Bonus: Friday nights at 7 PM often feature live Nordic folk music in the square. Dance a waltz to the accordion—free, but arrive early for seats! When the jingle of carriage bells blends with the creak of windmills, it hits me—Solvang isn’t just a stop in California, but a secret door left open by the world for all who still believe in fairytales.

We stayed at MAJA VILLA in Canggu 🤍. Initially, we planned to book the most basic room type, but since we booked too late, there were no options left except for the largest room type. This room is the biggest in the villa, and there’s only one of its kind. It’s divided into two sections: one side has a dining area and a small kitchen, while the other side features the bedroom and bathroom 🚿🛀. Outside the room, there’s a semi-circular sofa area facing the pool. Because it’s the largest room, the price is also the highest! It costs RP5,000,000 per night (approximately HKD2400). If you don’t plan to cook or don’t need a large bathroom 🛀, next time I’d recommend choosing a more affordable room type (Pool View). The pool is shared, and you won’t spend all your time in the room anyway, so you can save some budget for food 🤣🌭🍔🍕🥪. Another room type is called PALM VIEW, and there’s only one of this type as well. Its unique feature is the rooftop cave pool on the second floor. All guests can swim and take photos there before 6 PM, but after 6 PM, it’s exclusively for PALM VIEW guests. Lastly, the POOL VIEW rooms face the pool directly. When you open the door, you’ll see the pool! These rooms also have a rooftop lounge area on the second floor. In summary, Bali offers many beautiful accommodations perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. However, not every place is worth staying at again. This villa is one of the few that’s not only visually stunning but also exceptionally clean 🤍, especially the white areas which are spotless 🤍. The location is in a bustling area 🙂↕️, but once you’re inside, it feels like your own little sanctuary 🤍. You can relax within the villa or walk out to nearby beach clubs and restaurants. If you’re planning to stay in Canggu, I highly recommend this place! Just make sure to book a bit earlier. 📍Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong Gg. Bulan No.1, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia.
