The Brazilian barbeque red shop Vento Haragano in Sao Paulo has subverted my intrinsic impression of Brazilian barbecue! It turns out that the real Brazilian rotisserie is divided into a variety of meats, and the Brazilians have a sense of rituals when they eat meat. The dozens of waiters in the store will carry different kinds of barbecues and take turns to cut meat for you. Everyone There are two small round cards on the table. The red face up means that you don't need to come back again when you are full. The green face up means you continue to have meat. The taste of almost every meat is quite good! There is a row of fresh salad cheeses in the store that can be self-selected. There are also small meals before the table, but don't be fooled by these little favors. Just eat meat, hahaha... Eat a meal of three or four hundred yuan per person, the price is still available, eat a lot of great beef and pork, and some are 18 hours of slow-boiled top beef. This store is very famous in So Paulo, and it is also a Michelin recommended restaurant. Many locals come to eat, almost packed, and it is strongly recommended to go to St. Paul's old words to try it [glutton]

#OverseasTravel Update: I added some restaurant information at the end because some friends asked about restaurants. Portuguese Colonial City 🌆 When big cities like New York and São Paulo were still wastelands, Ouro Preto was the most prosperous city in the Western Hemisphere thanks to the gold rush. The interior of the Baroque-style and later Rococo-style churches⛪️ built at that time is still breathtakingly beautiful [petrified]. The people here are naturally passionate❤️🔥, and whenever I saw my Asian face, I would always get asked, “Where are you from?” followed by a long explanation of colonial history. The stories covered here, such as the status of women and the history of slavery, make it feel like time has stopped. – Unlike us, who have thousands of years of history, Brazil is a young immigrant country, and events that happened only 200 years ago are still considered history. It feels more immersive because it is so close to the present. It breaks my heart to think about how women and slaves survived and fought against colonial rulers for their beliefs. #travelplanning #brazil #trip #travel

#Saint Paul Cathedral#Painted Village#Telegraph Stone##Copacabana beach #Selron Stairs#Aqueduct Bridge This time, I only chose two big cities to visit: Sao Paulo and Rio, after all, the famous attractions are concentrated here. 1. Cathedral of São Paulo Portuguese: Catedral Metropolitana, or Catedral da Sé de São Paulo is the largest church in São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil. Visit St. Paul's Cathedral every Sunday and feel the grace of God and the piety of believers in the solemn and dignified church. There is a market in the square next to the church where you can go shopping. 2. Painted Village in Sao Paulo Taiwan also has many painted villages that attract tourists. Brazil, which belongs to the tropical zone of South America, is passionate and uses bright and bold colors. 3Telegraph Rock and Copacabana beach in Rio This attraction is a popular check-in spot for Rio residents and is also very attractive for tourists to take breathtaking photos easily and simply, and enjoy the Rio coast view. We took an Uber to the starting point of Telegraph Hill and went to Telegraph Rock to take a "photo-trick" ~ thrilling and beautiful photos. On the way back, we walked around Copacabana beach and listened to the sounds of playing and fighting in an unfamiliar language. 4. Selaron Stairs A tourist attraction in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, it has 215 steps and is 125 meters long. It uses more than 2,000 tiles from more than 60 countries around the world. It is the work of Chilean artist Serralon, and is called "My Tribute to the Brazilian People." 5. Aqueduct Bridge There are railroad tracks on the aqueduct bridge for traffic; because it is close to the slums, many homeless people and residents are lying on the street to chat and follow me. I am a mean person and hold my purse tightly to prevent being robbed. There are attractions nearby: the Pyramid Church, the Portuguese Reading Room and the market, you can stop by to visit.

Ouro Preto is hosting a winter music festival recently, so I rushed there on the weekend. In addition to visiting the historic city, I also wanted to visit the gold mine~ Ouro Preto means "black gold" because the gold mine here contains palladium, which can absorb gas, making the surface of gold appear black. The gold mine we chose is located in Mina de Ouro da Passagem, 8 kilometers away from Ouro Preto. Only this gold mine can take a car down into the mine. The visit time is very short, about 40 minutes. The mine car descends 120 meters. There is a clear green pool at the bottom. You can dive in the mine through a professional company. I came to this mine just for the mining cars. It reminded me of the sentence I listened to countless times in the IELTS listening test and could even recite it after such a long time: "Travel on converted mining trains and journey into the depths of the mountain along seams once worked by hundreds of miners." In the past, there was a word in the Black Gold City called Meninos de Couro, which refers to the black boys who engaged in manual gold mining. There is a deep pit here, which is very narrow but has a very high gold content. These little slaves carry a leather bag to transport materials... During the tour, the staff will explain the mining methods, the types of ore and the history of slaves, but all of them are explained in Portuguese. The gold mine can be reached by taxi or public bus: Taxi: Uber is not available here, and no one will take orders for 99. Local taxi apps include ubzi car or 2v passageiro, or you can hail one on the street. Public bus: Take the bus to Mariana from Terminal Rodoviario 8 de Julho and tell the conductor to get off at the Gold Mine. If you don't take the mine cart and just want to visit the gold mine, there are many gold mines in this small town, which have all become museums after the resources were exhausted. They are: Minas Do Palácio Velho Mina Chico Rei Mina de Ouro Felipe dos Santos Mina do Bijoca Mina de Ouro 13 de Maio- Casa de Mineração Santa Efigênia Mina Du Veloso Attention! The mine I visited only accepts cash tickets!
