More romantic than Türkiye and cheaper than Switzerland! Georgia is the real niche ceiling

《A guide to traveling cheap in Georgia: drink red wine 🍷 as if it were water, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and return home with your wallet intact!》 》 --- 【Things to know before departure】 1. Visa: -✅Visa-free for Chinese passports! You can go whenever you want without even meeting a visa officer, and save money on a barbecue meal. - ✅But remember to print out the return ticket reservation form, otherwise the customs officer may look at you with suspicion (don’t panic, smile + act good). 2. Currency: - ✅Georgian Lari (GEL), 1 GEL ≈ 2.7 RMB (2023). - ✅The exchange rate at the airport is a rip-off. You can withdraw cash directly from the ATM of "Bank of Georgia" in the city. The handling fee is negligible. --- [Poor but comfortable accommodation guide] - Hostels in Tbilisi: - ✅Fabrika Hostel (a popular youth hostel, 30-50 GEL/night, a paradise for socialites, with impromptu jazz parties at night). - ✅Pushkin 10 (retro style, the boss will give you a glass of homemade chacha). - Batumi Sea View B&B🏨: - ✅Guest House Mari (80 GEL/night, the terrace overlooks the Black Sea directly, and the breakfast made by the landlady can feed a bear). - Lightning protection: - ✅Don’t stay in the alleys that are too deep in the old town, otherwise the navigation will break down and you will be wandering in circles in the maze of Tbilisi until dawn. --- 【Foodie Radar: The Happiness of Carbs + Alcohol】 1. Must-eat list: - ✅Khachapuri (cheese bread 🍞): Georgia’s national dish, a calorie bomb, one bite will make you gain three pounds, but it’s worth it! - ✅Khinkali (big soup dumpling): The correct way to eat it - take a small bite and suck up the soup, otherwise it will spray the face of the person opposite you (don’t ask me how I learned this). - ✅Churchkhela (nut candy string): It looks like a candle on the outside, but is sweet and sinful on the inside. It is a must-have "life-saving artifact" when hiking. 2. Restaurant recommendations: - Tbilisi: -✅Salobie Bia (20 GEL per person, local canteen, Khinkali is bigger than a fist). - ✅Shavi Lomi (an internet celebrity shop with a forest-like environment, where you can get 100 likes by taking photos and posting them on Instagram). - Sighnaghi: - ✅Okro’s Wine (the soul of the wine town, 5 GEL for a glass of red wine, drink until you are tipsy and watch the sunset). --- 【Happiness without spending money】 - Tbilisi: - ✅Wandering around the old town: free! There are more colorful wooden terraces, exterior views of the sulfur baths (you have to pay to go in and take a bath), and more homeless people than tourists. - ✅Dry Bridge Market: Hunt for Soviet antiques (bargaining tips: pretend to leave, the boss will call you back). - Kazbekistan: - ✅Hike to Gergeti Trinity Church**: Free! Snowy mountains + lonely church, it’s like a Windows desktop that has come to life. - Batumi: - ✅Ali & Nino sculpture: Watch for free the two steel lovers hugging and separating every day (dog abuse scene). --- 【Anti-pit Easter Egg】 - ✅Taxi does not use meter? Bargain directly. The maximum price in Tbilisi is 10 GEL, otherwise the driver will think you are stupid and have a lot of money. - ✅Beware of the "free wine tasting" trap - after drinking too much, you may not be able to resist buying a box to take home (don't ask why my suitcase 🧳 is overweight). --- 【The last sentence is heartfelt】 Georgia is suitable for: alcoholics, poor people, people obsessed with scenery, people who love Soviet nostalgia, and those of you who just want to lie down somewhere, but your circle of friends must be high-end.
