Georgia is back! The "God's Backyard" lives up to its name!

🌟 Reasons to recommend 1. Visa-free dream: Chinese passport holders can go directly! 30-day stay with no pressure 2. Scenic patchwork: Alps-style snowy mountains, Tuscan-style vineyards, medieval castles all in one 3. Affordable prices: ¥5 cherries at will, ¥25 clay pot red wine to check in directly 4. Cultural hits: 8,000 years of winemaking history + Orthodox secret spots, unique and off the beaten path - ✈️ Flights: Beijing/Urumqi transit, round trip ¥3800 (book 2 months in advance for China Southern Airlines big sale!) - 🏠 Accommodation: Tbilisi homestay ¥120/night + Kazbegi mountain view room ¥250/night - 🚗 Transportation: Intercity carpool ¥50/segment + city Bolt rides from ¥10 (half the price of taxis!) - 🎫 Tickets: 90% of attractions are free! Only sulfur baths ¥150/2 hours - 🍴 Food & Drink: Cheese boat ¥20, red wine ¥15/glass, average ¥60 per day for full meals and drinks 📸 Popular attractions tested ✅ Tbilisi Old Town - Sulfur Baths: Look for the blue dome "Royal Bath"! Private rooms with mosaic murals, like bathing in a Roman noble bathhouse♨️ - Narikala Fortress: Take the cable car at 5 pm (¥2.5!), wait for a golden pink sunset + night view lighting moment🌆 - Dry Bridge Market: Hunt for Soviet medals, old cameras, remember to bargain! ✅ Kazbegi · Lonely Planet cover - Snowy Mountain Church: Off-road jeep ¥30 direct to the Holy Trinity Church, still snow on the summit in July! Wear a white dress for a divine maiden photo shoot⛪️ - Rooms Hotel: Even if you don’t stay, visit the terrace! Hand drip coffee with panoramic snow mountain views, worth the room price ✅ Sighnaghi · Tipsy Love Town - Winery DIY: ¥50 to experience clay pot winemaking, engrave your name on the oak barrel🍷 - 16th-century city walls: Climb to the top to shoot red roofs + Alazani Valley, like stepping into The Lord of the Rings’ Shire ✅ Mestia Hiking Paradise - Ushguli hometown: Europe’s highest altitude ancient village! Stay in a tower house homestay, listen to glacier stream sounds in the morning mist🏔️ - Easy hiking route: Chalaadi Glacier 3-hour round trip, even beginners can do it 🗺️ 7-day in-depth itinerary D1-2: Tbilisi Old Town sulfur baths → Peace Bridge → Puppet Clock Tower hourly show → Dry Bridge Market → Fortress night view D3: Military Highway day trip Charter car to Jvari Monastery (LP cover photo spot!) → Ananuri Castle (emerald lake fortress) → Russian-Georgian Friendship Monument D4: Kazbegi Snowy Mountain Church → Rooms Hotel viewpoint → Homestay starry sky hotpot D5: Sighnaghi Wine tasting of 5 red wines → Bodbe Monastery → City wall archway sunset viewing D6: Return to Tbilisi Holy Trinity Cathedral (free!) → Local eatery “Machakhela” for cheese boat D7: Shopping at Deserter Market Cherries ¥5/jin + church red wine ¥25/bottle, go for it! 🍷 Food hits and misses 🔥 Must-try - Adjarian Cheese Boat (Khachapuri): stringy cheese + runny egg, a carb bomb that’s irresistibly fragrant! 📍Machakhela - Soup-filled beef dumplings (Khinkali): pinch the “little knot” to sip the broth! Lamb filling is freshest, ≥5 pieces to fill up - Clay pot stewed lamb (Chakapuli): white wine + herbs slow-cooked, perfect with bread to dip the sauce - Churchkhela: nut and grape juice lollipops, hiking energy booster 💣 Avoid - Blue cheese: so stinky it makes you question life! Be cautious ordering platters - Tourist restaurants: Old Town riverside prices are double, walk 10 minutes to residential areas for better deals ⚠️ Hard-earned tips 1. Transportation: Don’t drive yourself! Mountain roads are narrow + locals drive fast, book charter cars via Gotrip platform 2. Clothing: Wear thin down jackets for snowy mountains, bring a headscarf for churches (¥10 rental at entrance) 3. Safety: Avoid lingering late at Tbilisi station, other areas are very safe 4. Internet: Buy Magti SIM card at airport ¥20/10G, stable signal in mountainous areas
