How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

| The Underrated Gem - Xinyang·Guangshan! Off-the-Beaten-Path Travel!! The Underrated Treasure Town Xinyang·Guangshan. I don't like traveling to overcrowded tourist spots. Instead, I prefer enjoying the slow-paced life with fewer people and beautiful scenery~ That's why I chose Xinyang·Guangshan, just a 40-minute high-speed train ride from Wuhan.

It takes about half an hour to hike to the top, where you’ll be greeted by lush greenery and fresh air—a natural forest oxygen bar. ✔️ **Guangshanli** Dive deep into the history of Guangshan and experience intangible cultural heritage. There are many interesting folk artifacts with strong local characteristics, perfect as souvenirs to take home. ✔️ **Sima Guang’s Former Residence** The childhood story of "Sima Guang Smashing the Vat" still feels fresh in my memory. Every brick and tile here tells the tale of Sima Guang’s glorious and legendary life. A must-visit for families with kids! ✔️ **Dongyue Folk Culture Village** Step into this peaceful ancient village, where time seems to slow down. Ride a small train through golden rice fields, and try DIY Yinzimo (stamped buns) and indigo dyeing. **About the Food 🥙** Stir-fried eggs with Chinese toon, duck soup with glutinous rice balls, braised Wuyue fish, dough drop soup, lamb hot pot, Guangshan freshwater shrimp, tea oil, oil noodles, sweet rice wine, sweet potato noodles, and more… Perfect for my Hubei taste buds!

Returning from Sanqing Mountain, the stunning beauty leaves a lasting impression. Rarely have I used the word "stunning" to describe a landscape before, but this time I finally understand why Mr. Dongpo praised it so highly. Stepping into Sanqing Mountain, you encounter jagged peaks and bizarre rocks, towering ridges upon ridges; lively waterfalls and streams, enchanting frost scenes; magnificent sunrises over seas of clouds, ancient trees and famous flowers full of charm, and thrilling cliffside plank roads. After rain, the mist swirls around as if stepping into a mystical fairyland; the sunrise over the sea of clouds is breathtaking, a rare earthly wonder not to be missed. The carefully planned route takes 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to experience the essence of the scenery: starting from Jinsha Cableway, passing Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, Penguin Offering Peach, Eastern Goddess, Azalea Valley, Jade Terrace, One Line Sky, Sunrise Villa, West Coast Plank Road, Pine Forest, Sunshine Coast Aerial Plank Road, Yuhuang Peak, Fox Biting Chicken, and then returning to Jinsha Cableway. From May 1st, the Sanqing Palace Scenic Area opens the Gangshou Cableway, providing direct access to the area for 1 to 2 hours of sightseeing. Early bird tickets are only 199 yuan, not to be missed. 【Transportation Guide】 📍 Located in the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, Yushan Station, or Yushan South Station, then transfer to a carpool or bus, about 1 hour to reach. The scenic area is open from 7:30 to 17:30. 【Must-See Attractions】 ✅ Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A giant granite pillar resembling a python, standing proudly after millions of years of weathering. ✅ Eastern Goddess: A girl with hair draped over her shoulders, naturally sculpted, showcasing nature’s exquisite craftsmanship. ✅ West Coast: The perfect place to watch the sunset, with picturesque views along the hiking plank road, every step a scenic spot. ✅ One Line Sky: A steep rise between cliffs, the narrowest part only wide enough for a person to squeeze sideways, full of thrilling excitement. ✅ Sanqing Palace: An open-air ancient architecture museum, gathering steles, pagodas, and stone carvings with superb craftsmanship. ✅ Azalea Valley: From late April to June, the slopes bloom with colorful alpine azaleas, a limited-time spectacular view not to be missed. 【Helpful Tips for Visitors】 ❣️ Cableway operating hours are 7:30 to 17:30; pay attention to the descent time to avoid delays. ❣️ Dress lightly, wear comfortable shoes, bring trekking poles and enough water. ❣️ The temperature varies greatly in the scenic area; if staying overnight to watch sunrise or sunset, bring warm clothing; prices on the mountain are relatively high, so prepare food in advance. ❣️ Frequent recent rains make paths slippery; elderly and children should be extra cautious. Always check the weather before traveling.

With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

Returning from Sanqing Mountain, the stunning beauty leaves a lasting impression.

Stepping into Sanqing Mountain, you encounter jagged peaks and bizarre rocks, towering ridges upon ridges; lively waterfalls and streams, enchanting frost scenes; magnificent sunrises over seas of clouds, ancient trees and famous flowers full of charm, and thrilling cliffside plank roads. After rain, the mist swirls around as if stepping into a mystical fairyland; the sunrise over the sea of clouds is breathtaking, a rare earthly wonder not to be missed. The carefully planned route takes 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to experience the essence of the scenery: starting from Jinsha Cableway, passing Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, Penguin Offering Peach, Eastern Goddess, Azalea Valley, Jade Terrace, One Line Sky, Sunrise Villa, West Coast Plank Road, Pine Forest, Sunshine Coast Aerial Plank Road, Yuhuang Peak, Fox Biting Chicken, and then returning to Jinsha Cableway. From May 1st, the Sanqing Palace Scenic Area opens the Gangshou Cableway, providing direct access to the area for 1 to 2 hours of sightseeing. Early bird tickets are only 199 yuan, not to be missed. 【Transportation Guide】 📍 Located in the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, Yushan Station, or Yushan South Station, then transfer to a carpool or bus, about 1 hour to reach.

Always check the weather before traveling.

Let this "mint-fresh" summer embrace you! 👉 Cycle Sufeng Mountain's coastal road with cliffs on one side and open sea on the other. Chase windmills along Wujiao Bay's shoreline or pedal Xipu Bay's seawall - each turn revealing postcard-worthy vistas and salt-kissed breezes that melt urban stress away. 👉 As night falls, Nanmen Bay's cultural district comes alive. Sample seafood skewers at neon-lit stalls, watch fishing boats twinkle like floating stars, or simply stroll moonlit lanes - this is island time at its most magical. 🌊 Changtai Xunmeng Valley Crowned "Southern Fujian's #1 Waterfall Wonder", this hidden valley boasts nine major cascades and dozens of smaller falls tumbling through lush gorges - a living Chinese landscape painting. 👉 Hike shaded trails under dense foliage that filters sunlight into playful speckles. Breathe air so pure it feels like oxygen therapy, with negative ions revitalizing every cell. The symphony of rushing water and birdsong becomes nature's white noise, washing away fatigue with each step. 🌊 Hua'an Fairy Waterfall Named for its cascading waters resembling a goddess's fluttering skirt, this ethereal cascade often gifts visitors with rainbow halos when sunlight dances through its mist. 👉 Bamboo forests create a natural sunblock, their rustling leaves composing duets with birdsong. Follow fern-lined paths where every inhale carries earthy petrichor and mountain freshness - an instant antidote to urban clamor. Here, summer's heat dissolves into the waterfall's perpetual cool embrace.

Today marks my last day in Nalati, so I'm treating myself to a lazy day off. Naturally, I chose a scenic homestay to relax all day—exploring the town's food spots by day and enjoying views of Nalati's Aerial Grassland right from my room at night. With windows 🪟 framing the mountains and a garden bursting with colorful flowers and fresh produce, evenings here are pure bliss—lounging on the homestay's rocking chair, gazing at the fields and distant horizons. Absolute perfection! Town eateries are half the price of scenic area restaurants. Here's my 7-day, 6-night food guide—pick what suits you: ① Gulanbao Restaurant: Their Xinjiang-style beef hand-pulled rice is delicious. ② Suye Danggui Homestay: Their rice 🍚 and stir-fries are exceptional. ③ Jiangna Yunchen Family Banquet (Nalati branch): Spinach tofu soup is a must-try, and their tomato scrambled eggs are great—but skip the big plate chicken❌ (dry and not fresh). ④ Mayibu Xinjiang Cuisine: Their oily meat noodles and meaty noodles are both tasty, with great group-buy deals. ⑤ Shuran Specialty Dishes: Mediocre flavor, skippable. ⑥ Don't miss Nalati Town's Wednesday Bazaar if you're here midweek! Hunt down the beef skewers from a husband-wife stall—freshly cut and skewered, 5 yuan each, tender and authentic. ⑦ Wangjingyuan Homestay's homegrown garden dishes are fresh and organic. These were my Nalati food and fun highlights! Feel free to add your tips in comments—let's help future travelers enjoy their holidays!

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

At night, with the room lights on, the twinkling lights on the water created a magical moment where time seemed to stand still. 💡✨ 🎉 Laughter and Singing in the KTV 🎶 For someone who loves a lively atmosphere, the hotel’s KTV is a definite highlight. Fully equipped with top-notch sound systems, it’s perfect whether you want to unwind with a ballad or go all out with friends. What surprised me most was the on-demand song selection feature, allowing you to pick your favorite tunes freely—pure bliss! 🎵🎤 🔥 Tempting Delights on the Grill 🍢 When it comes to food, how could I miss the hotel’s BBQ area? It offers a variety of grilling tools and fresh ingredients to choose from. As evening falls, gather a few friends and enjoy a homemade BBQ feast under the starry sky—the kind of happiness you can only understand by experiencing it yourself. The aroma of grilled meat fills the air, whetting your appetite, and every bite is pure satisfaction. 🍖🔥 🍃 A Refreshing Summer in the Giant UFO Pool 💦 The hotel’s rooftop UFO-shaped pool is a must-mention.

Today marks my last day in Nalati, so I'm treating myself to a lazy day off. Naturally, I chose a scenic homestay to relax all day—exploring the town's food spots by day and enjoying views of Nalati's Aerial Grassland right from my room at night. With windows 🪟 framing the mountains and a garden bursting with colorful flowers and fresh produce, evenings here are pure bliss—lounging on the homestay's rocking chair, gazing at the fields and distant horizons. Absolute perfection! Town eateries are half the price of scenic area restaurants. Here's my 7-day, 6-night food guide—pick what suits you: ① Gulanbao Restaurant: Their Xinjiang-style beef hand-pulled rice is delicious. ② Suye Danggui Homestay: Their rice 🍚 and stir-fries are exceptional. ③ Jiangna Yunchen Family Banquet (Nalati branch): Spinach tofu soup is a must-try, and their tomato scrambled eggs are great—but skip the big plate chicken❌ (dry and not fresh). ④ Mayibu Xinjiang Cuisine: Their oily meat noodles and meaty noodles are both tasty, with great group-buy deals. ⑤ Shuran Specialty Dishes: Mediocre flavor, skippable. ⑥ Don't miss Nalati Town's Wednesday Bazaar if you're here midweek! Hunt down the beef skewers from a husband-wife stall—freshly cut and skewered, 5 yuan each, tender and authentic. ⑦ Wangjingyuan Homestay's homegrown garden dishes are fresh and organic. These were my Nalati food and fun highlights! Feel free to add your tips in comments—let's help future travelers enjoy their holidays!

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

Walking along the winding paths of Wudang Mountain, flanked by lush trees and the faint scent of pine in the air, every step follows nature's rhythm. This time, my destination is the long-awaited Wudang Mountain Hidden Immortal Retreat, a secluded paradise nestled among the mountains and waters. 🏞️ 🌲【Hidden in the Mountains, Savoring Tranquility】🍃 Pushing open the retreat's gate feels like stepping into a world apart.

Returning from Sanqing Mountain, the stunning beauty leaves a lasting impression.

Stepping into Sanqing Mountain, you encounter jagged peaks and bizarre rocks, towering ridges upon ridges; lively waterfalls and streams, enchanting frost scenes; magnificent sunrises over seas of clouds, ancient trees and famous flowers full of charm, and thrilling cliffside plank roads. After rain, the mist swirls around as if stepping into a mystical fairyland; the sunrise over the sea of clouds is breathtaking, a rare earthly wonder not to be missed. The carefully planned route takes 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to experience the essence of the scenery: starting from Jinsha Cableway, passing Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, Penguin Offering Peach, Eastern Goddess, Azalea Valley, Jade Terrace, One Line Sky, Sunrise Villa, West Coast Plank Road, Pine Forest, Sunshine Coast Aerial Plank Road, Yuhuang Peak, Fox Biting Chicken, and then returning to Jinsha Cableway. From May 1st, the Sanqing Palace Scenic Area opens the Gangshou Cableway, providing direct access to the area for 1 to 2 hours of sightseeing. Early bird tickets are only 199 yuan, not to be missed. 【Transportation Guide】 📍 Located in the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, Yushan Station, or Yushan South Station, then transfer to a carpool or bus, about 1 hour to reach.

Today marks my last day in Nalati, so I'm treating myself to a lazy day off. Naturally, I chose a scenic homestay to relax all day—exploring the town's food spots by day and enjoying views of Nalati's Aerial Grassland right from my room at night. With windows 🪟 framing the mountains and a garden bursting with colorful flowers and fresh produce, evenings here are pure bliss—lounging on the homestay's rocking chair, gazing at the fields and distant horizons. Absolute perfection! Town eateries are half the price of scenic area restaurants. Here's my 7-day, 6-night food guide—pick what suits you: ① Gulanbao Restaurant: Their Xinjiang-style beef hand-pulled rice is delicious. ② Suye Danggui Homestay: Their rice 🍚 and stir-fries are exceptional. ③ Jiangna Yunchen Family Banquet (Nalati branch): Spinach tofu soup is a must-try, and their tomato scrambled eggs are great—but skip the big plate chicken❌ (dry and not fresh). ④ Mayibu Xinjiang Cuisine: Their oily meat noodles and meaty noodles are both tasty, with great group-buy deals. ⑤ Shuran Specialty Dishes: Mediocre flavor, skippable. ⑥ Don't miss Nalati Town's Wednesday Bazaar if you're here midweek! Hunt down the beef skewers from a husband-wife stall—freshly cut and skewered, 5 yuan each, tender and authentic. ⑦ Wangjingyuan Homestay's homegrown garden dishes are fresh and organic. These were my Nalati food and fun highlights! Feel free to add your tips in comments—let's help future travelers enjoy their holidays!

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

Returning from Sanqing Mountain, the stunning beauty leaves a lasting impression. Rarely have I used the word "stunning" to describe a landscape before, but this time I finally understand why Mr. Dongpo praised it so highly. Stepping into Sanqing Mountain, you encounter jagged peaks and bizarre rocks, towering ridges upon ridges; lively waterfalls and streams, enchanting frost scenes; magnificent sunrises over seas of clouds, ancient trees and famous flowers full of charm, and thrilling cliffside plank roads. After rain, the mist swirls around as if stepping into a mystical fairyland; the sunrise over the sea of clouds is breathtaking, a rare earthly wonder not to be missed. The carefully planned route takes 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to experience the essence of the scenery: starting from Jinsha Cableway, passing Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, Penguin Offering Peach, Eastern Goddess, Azalea Valley, Jade Terrace, One Line Sky, Sunrise Villa, West Coast Plank Road, Pine Forest, Sunshine Coast Aerial Plank Road, Yuhuang Peak, Fox Biting Chicken, and then returning to Jinsha Cableway. From May 1st, the Sanqing Palace Scenic Area opens the Gangshou Cableway, providing direct access to the area for 1 to 2 hours of sightseeing. Early bird tickets are only 199 yuan, not to be missed. 【Transportation Guide】 📍 Located in the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, Yushan Station, or Yushan South Station, then transfer to a carpool or bus, about 1 hour to reach. The scenic area is open from 7:30 to 17:30. 【Must-See Attractions】 ✅ Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A giant granite pillar resembling a python, standing proudly after millions of years of weathering. ✅ Eastern Goddess: A girl with hair draped over her shoulders, naturally sculpted, showcasing nature’s exquisite craftsmanship. ✅ West Coast: The perfect place to watch the sunset, with picturesque views along the hiking plank road, every step a scenic spot. ✅ One Line Sky: A steep rise between cliffs, the narrowest part only wide enough for a person to squeeze sideways, full of thrilling excitement. ✅ Sanqing Palace: An open-air ancient architecture museum, gathering steles, pagodas, and stone carvings with superb craftsmanship. ✅ Azalea Valley: From late April to June, the slopes bloom with colorful alpine azaleas, a limited-time spectacular view not to be missed. 【Helpful Tips for Visitors】 ❣️ Cableway operating hours are 7:30 to 17:30; pay attention to the descent time to avoid delays. ❣️ Dress lightly, wear comfortable shoes, bring trekking poles and enough water. ❣️ The temperature varies greatly in the scenic area; if staying overnight to watch sunrise or sunset, bring warm clothing; prices on the mountain are relatively high, so prepare food in advance. ❣️ Frequent recent rains make paths slippery; elderly and children should be extra cautious. Always check the weather before traveling.

Today marks my last day in Nalati, so I'm treating myself to a lazy day off. Naturally, I chose a scenic homestay to relax all day—exploring the town's food spots by day and enjoying views of Nalati's Aerial Grassland right from my room at night. With windows 🪟 framing the mountains and a garden bursting with colorful flowers and fresh produce, evenings here are pure bliss—lounging on the homestay's rocking chair, gazing at the fields and distant horizons. Absolute perfection! Town eateries are half the price of scenic area restaurants. Here's my 7-day, 6-night food guide—pick what suits you: ① Gulanbao Restaurant: Their Xinjiang-style beef hand-pulled rice is delicious. ② Suye Danggui Homestay: Their rice 🍚 and stir-fries are exceptional. ③ Jiangna Yunchen Family Banquet (Nalati branch): Spinach tofu soup is a must-try, and their tomato scrambled eggs are great—but skip the big plate chicken❌ (dry and not fresh). ④ Mayibu Xinjiang Cuisine: Their oily meat noodles and meaty noodles are both tasty, with great group-buy deals. ⑤ Shuran Specialty Dishes: Mediocre flavor, skippable. ⑥ Don't miss Nalati Town's Wednesday Bazaar if you're here midweek!

How precious are weekends for working professionals? But would you believe it? With just a couple of pedal pushes from Beijing, you can dive straight into this magical wonderland where fish literally "jump out at you"! Tangshan's Domar Park has been blowing up my social media lately—50+ fishing methods instantly transport adults back to childhood, while artificial beaches paired with wetland sunsets take your breath away. Best part? High-speed rail gets you there hassle-free—why not lock in this weekend getaway? Why is it called the ultimate water playground in northern China? Here are 4 must-experience reasons from my visit The moment I entered, I was stunned: a sprawling 2,500-acre wetland park—half shimmering waters, half golden artificial beaches. Wearing a white dress at Blue Bay Beach, the saltwater lake and coconut palm reflections had my friends convinced I'd secretly flown to Sanya! But the real showstopper is the "fishing tech magic"—at Happy Fishing Valley, turning a waterwheel makes fish swim straight into your net. An elderly angler saw me squealing by the shore and even taught me his "casting secrets"—proving joy knows no age! The amphibious vehicle is a MUST! It charges from land straight into the lake—when the spray hits, everyone screams for another round. Even better? The water train gliding on tracks above the lake at sunset, painting the wetlands gold while the air smells of aquatic plants—I'd believe this was Jiangnan watertown! Deep-dive guide: Full-day immersive itinerary Morning: Ultimate family fun route Arrive at 9am for "Mystery Touch"—dip your hands into koi ponds for ticklish giggles (perfect photo op with fish swarming your palms!). Next, grab waders at "Bamboo Trap Fishing"—kids and adults alike will shriek with delight catching fish barehanded in shallows. I spent 30 soaked minutes there, but the thrill of touching a fish beat winning lottery! Afternoon: Instagrammers’ secret route Head to Blue Bay Beach at 1pm—the saltwater lake turns gradient blue under sunlight. Pro tip: Squat by the shore for photos framing the lake, beach, and distant reeds (caption: "Maldives vibes" totally works!). At 4pm, ride the water train through reeds startling egrets—every shot looks cinematic. Night: Hidden after-dark adventures Few know the park shines at night! The "Night Fishing Carnival" illuminates waters as staff cast nets, letting visitors wade in to catch fish (I bagged a palm-sized carp to take home!). Nearby, clown performances with balloon animals made me rediscover childlike wonder—who can resist starlit fishing with live shows? Stay like a true insider Domar Water Town’s villas are UNREAL—wake to misty lakes from floor-to-ceiling windows, fishing from your balcony. Families should book 4-8 person rooms where kids spot waterbirds from living rooms and stargaze with telescopes (fireflies possible!). For late risers, Domar Hotel is 5 minutes from attractions. My sunrise-hating self finally made the 9am fishing battle! Rooms feature minimalist wood decor overlooking wetlands—even toiletries smell like reeds. Perfectionists, rejoice! Local pro tips: Avoid these mistakes - Wear water shoes! My sneakers stayed soggy all day—lesson learned. ​ - Sunscreen & bug spray! Strong UV afternoons; ankle-biting mosquitoes at dusk. ​ - Pack spare clothes! Unlike me who fell in water and paid premium for replacement tees. ​ - Try the park’s iron-pot fish stew—freshly caught, insanely flavorful, just ¥50/person. I complained about Beijing traffic en route, but the park instantly healed me—while city dwellers stress over KPIs, here you chase fish barefoot as villas glow like honey at sunset. Now I get why Domar is called "North China’s Little Maldives"—it’s not just water fun, but summer’s pure joy bottled in wetlands. This weekend, ready to write your own fishing tale?

Staying at Sea Level | Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay in Pingtan Island, Fuzhou Just returned from Pingtan after staying two nights at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay. Sharing my genuine experience for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat or fellow high school graduates like me. ① Location: The homestay is located at No. 64-1, Jiaowei Village, Aoqian, Pingtan, Fujian. ② Quietness: Far from the county town and southern tourist areas, it’s incredibly peaceful—just the sound of waves, wind, and your own breathing. Perfect for escaping the world and focusing on yourself. ③ Transportation tips: Strongly recommend driving! The homestay offers pickup services! After booking, the butler will arrange pickup to a designated location, and staff will meet you. Luggage is transported via electric cart, so no need to drag suitcases across the beach. 🛏 Room Review (I stayed in the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room): 1⃣️ Floor-to-ceiling sea-view windows: The highlight of the homestay, offering 180° unobstructed ocean views—the best spot for sunrise and sunset photos. Weather is everything! Clear days bring picturesque blue seas, while cloudy days are gray. On windy days, keep the windows closed. 2⃣️ Design: Simple and romantic, with gray, white, and cream tones. Spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom has a dry-wet separation design with ample hot water. Basic amenities (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.) are provided. The common area sofa is the prime daydreaming spot, offering great privacy. No need to worry about disturbances. Soundproofing is excellent—even on windy days, the sound of waves is barely noticeable indoors. 🍽 Dining & Service: ✔️ Breakfast: Chinese-style (congee, steamed buns, eggs, pickles, soy milk/milk…), served in the common area with sea views. A lovely breakfast to start the day! ✔️ Service: The butler is responsive (via WeChat), friendly, and helpful with check-in guidance, route advice, and updates on blue tears (bioluminescent plankton). 🌪 Pingtan Specials: Blue Tears: Not controlled by the homestay. If it’s peak season and the weather is clear during your stay, the butler will inform you of nearby viewing spots (within walking or short driving distance). 💰 Value for Money: I booked the Twilight·Sunset Bathtub Seaview King Room. Worth it? Depends on your priorities: For unobstructed sea views + ultimate tranquility → Absolutely worth it. Why I loved it: The true serenity of sleeping by the sea. Ideal for road-trippers, sea-view enthusiasts, and couples or friends seeking relaxation. Pack your bags, along with the laid-back vibe soaked in sea breeze. Pingtan has many seas, but the window at Ximo Lost Villa Yuxi Seaview Homestay framed my own private tranquility. It’s unpretentious and unhurried, simply existing quietly—letting me watch the sea, listen to the wind, and be with myself. When the tide recedes, it takes not just sand but perhaps also accumulated fatigue. This, perhaps, is the simplest healing power of facing the sea!

Returning from Sanqing Mountain, the stunning beauty leaves a lasting impression. Rarely have I used the word "stunning" to describe a landscape before, but this time I finally understand why Mr. Dongpo praised it so highly. Stepping into Sanqing Mountain, you encounter jagged peaks and bizarre rocks, towering ridges upon ridges; lively waterfalls and streams, enchanting frost scenes; magnificent sunrises over seas of clouds, ancient trees and famous flowers full of charm, and thrilling cliffside plank roads. After rain, the mist swirls around as if stepping into a mystical fairyland; the sunrise over the sea of clouds is breathtaking, a rare earthly wonder not to be missed. The carefully planned route takes 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to experience the essence of the scenery: starting from Jinsha Cableway, passing Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain, Penguin Offering Peach, Eastern Goddess, Azalea Valley, Jade Terrace, One Line Sky, Sunrise Villa, West Coast Plank Road, Pine Forest, Sunshine Coast Aerial Plank Road, Yuhuang Peak, Fox Biting Chicken, and then returning to Jinsha Cableway. From May 1st, the Sanqing Palace Scenic Area opens the Gangshou Cableway, providing direct access to the area for 1 to 2 hours of sightseeing. Early bird tickets are only 199 yuan, not to be missed. 【Transportation Guide】 📍 Located in the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shangrao Station, Yushan Station, or Yushan South Station, then transfer to a carpool or bus, about 1 hour to reach. The scenic area is open from 7:30 to 17:30. 【Must-See Attractions】 ✅ Giant Python Emerging from the Mountain: A giant granite pillar resembling a python, standing proudly after millions of years of weathering. ✅ Eastern Goddess: A girl with hair draped over her shoulders, naturally sculpted, showcasing nature’s exquisite craftsmanship. ✅ West Coast: The perfect place to watch the sunset, with picturesque views along the hiking plank road, every step a scenic spot. ✅ One Line Sky: A steep rise between cliffs, the narrowest part only wide enough for a person to squeeze sideways, full of thrilling excitement. ✅ Sanqing Palace: An open-air ancient architecture museum, gathering steles, pagodas, and stone carvings with superb craftsmanship. ✅ Azalea Valley: From late April to June, the slopes bloom with colorful alpine azaleas, a limited-time spectacular view not to be missed. 【Helpful Tips for Visitors】 ❣️ Cableway operating hours are 7:30 to 17:30; pay attention to the descent time to avoid delays. ❣️ Dress lightly, wear comfortable shoes, bring trekking poles and enough water. ❣️ The temperature varies greatly in the scenic area; if staying overnight to watch sunrise or sunset, bring warm clothing; prices on the mountain are relatively high, so prepare food in advance. ❣️ Frequent recent rains make paths slippery; elderly and children should be extra cautious. Always check the weather before traveling.

Suobuya Stone Forest is a geological wonder, featuring unique rock formations and attractions like Lotus Village and Millstone Gully. Wandering through the stone forest feels like stepping into an ancient world, and the photo opportunities are absolutely stunning. After your visit, try a bowl of Tujia oil fragrant cake – crispy on the outside with a rich filling of minced meat, scallions, and bean sprouts. Don't miss the Tujia water shield soup either; the water shield is tender and smooth, and the broth is deliciously savory – a local specialty 😋. July and August are peak travel seasons in Enshi, so this is the perfect time to visit for a relaxing and enjoyable trip!
