, explore Valletta like a local, with cultural charm in every corner

The best way to get to know a place is to travel like a local. It is not just an ordinary photo-taking and check-in, but also a kind of integration, perception and experience. Stroll through every street in Valletta, temporarily put aside the daily trivialities of life, feel another rhythm of life, and experience every day like a local. The beeswax-colored streets of Valletta glow warmly in the sun, and the colorful windows on the small buildings standing in the narrow alleys decorate the life of the old city. The residents here did not become alienated by the arrival of strangers. Their daily lives were so peaceful and natural. When I returned from the market with a bag of fresh vegetables, I encountered smiles and greetings scattered in the alley, which made me feel extremely warm. Many times, we travel in a hurry, for fear of missing out on the so-called must-see attractions and experiences. But in a quiet town like Valletta, what is truly touching are those seemingly ordinary moments: walking out of the house to greet the morning sunshine; strolling through the alleys and admiring an irregular but vibrant pot of flowers on the street; standing on an inconspicuous bridge and watching the slowly walking people, the moored boats and the swaying light and shadows. Suddenly, I realized that I am also a part of this scene. It is your gaze at the scenery that adds a new artistic conception to the daily life of this city. And who knows? Perhaps the person looking at you from upstairs is thinking "traveling like a local", which is the most special scenery in their eyes.
