- The first blue tears have appeared in March, and April-May is the peak season for blue tears in Pingtan.

Namibia, this mysterious land in southwest Africa, is like a dazzling pearl inlaid in the vast desert, exuding a unique charm. In Namibia, the Sossusvlei red desert is a masterpiece of nature. The dunes here have soft and smooth lines, with distinct layers of color ranging from light yellow to deep red. In the early morning, as the sun rises from the horizon, golden rays sprinkle on the dunes, as if draping the earth in a golden veil. You can choose to stroll on the dunes, feeling the fine sand slipping from under your feet, or sit quietly on the top of the dunes and admire the breathtaking beauty of the sunrise. Skeleton Coast National Park is a mysterious place in Namibia. Once the graveyard of countless ships, the beach is now scattered with ancient shipwrecks and animal bones, giving it a desolate and mysterious feel. However, it is this desolate beauty that attracts countless adventurers. Here, you can see seals basking in the sun on the beach, or explore this land full of stories with a guide. Etosha National Park is a wildlife haven in Namibia. It is one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in Africa and boasts a rich variety of animal species. Here, you can take a sightseeing bus or go on a hike to observe rare animals such as lions, elephants, rhinos, and giraffes up close. They run freely on the grasslands, displaying the most primitive vitality of life. In addition to the natural landscape, Namibia's culture is also worth exploring. In Namib-Naukluft National Park, you can visit ancient Bushman rock paintings and learn about the life and beliefs of the ancient tribes on this land. These rock paintings have survived for thousands of years and are still clearly visible, as if they are marks of time. Namibia is a place full of natural wonders and cultural charm. Here, you can feel the magnificence of nature and experience the tenacity and beauty of life.

This laid-back ancient city has more than 30 temples, and Wat Xieng Thong is one you absolutely must see! Located at the northernmost tip of Luang Prabang's old town, it was built in 1560 and is a treasure trove of classic Lao art and craftsmanship. · Coconut palms sway gently beneath the gleaming golden roofs, alongside gold-leaf reliefs and stained-glass murals on the red walls. When the soft evening sunlight falls, it's as if the temple is draped in a golden veil. · 📍: Wat Xieng Thong, Luang Prabang Old Town 📅: 8:00–17:00, 20,000 kip (approx. 7 CNY)/person · 1️⃣ Tree of Life: On the outer wall of the back hall is a giant mosaic mural, a beautifully embossed wall decorated with stained glass. 2️⃣ Red Wall Window: A window everyone loves to take photos with! Located in a small hall in the corner of the temple, it's both charming and photogenic. 3️⃣ The temple's low, layered roofs are characteristic of Luang Prabang! The eaves are so wide they almost touch the ground, complemented by intricate gold-leaf reliefs. The traditional Lao architecture is a must-see! Every corner is also adorned with blooming bougainvillea. Even just sitting on a small chair for a photo is a beautiful experience. · ✅ Tips: 👉🏻 Dress code for the temple: Shoulders and knees must be covered (shawls are available for rent at the entrance!). 👉🏻 Shoes must be removed before entering the halls. Photography and loud talking are not allowed inside. When taking photos of monks in the temple, maintain a respectful distance and do not disturb their daily life. ·

I happened to be back in Melbourne during Yayoi Kusama's polka dot exhibition, and I definitely couldn't miss it. Many exhibits are being shown in Australia for the first time, and the popularity is evident in the fact that tickets need to be purchased several days in advance. 🎫 How to book: This exhibition is extremely popular, so be sure to purchase tickets in advance on the NGV's official website to avoid sell-outs. If you prefer a less crowded viewing experience, it's recommended to book the earliest time slot, around 9:00 am, when there are the fewest people. 💰 AUD 38 ❤️ Must-see photo spots: Most of the amazing photo opportunities are in Part 2. 1️⃣ World premiere! The stunning new work - the kaleidoscopic Infinity Mirrored Room. It's like stepping into a parallel universe! 2️⃣ Australian premiere! The 5-meter-tall sculpture "Dancing Pumpkin" is super cute and incredibly photogenic. 3️⃣ Classic polka dot paintings + immersive mirror rooms + psychedelic sculptures - every room is a great photo op. 4️⃣ Pumpkin Mirror Room: There's a queue, and each person only has about 20 seconds to look around. You won't have time to use a camera here, so it's recommended to use your phone to take pictures through the small opening. 📌 Exhibition tips: 1️⃣ Attire: It's recommended to wear form-fitting clothing in solid colors (black, white, beige, or other low-saturation colors). The exhibition is full of highly saturated colors and patterns, which might be overwhelming for those with trypophobia. 2️⃣ Viewing order: You can scan your ticket and enter up to half an hour before your entry time. You must visit Part 1 before Part 2. If you see Part 2 first, you won't be able to go back to Part 1, as tickets are scanned separately for each part. 3️⃣ Bring a friend who's good at taking photos, and be patient. The popular spots require quick shots and waiting. 4️⃣ There are also many photo opportunities in the public areas on the first floor. You can take photos for free with a pumpkin sculpture, a field of silver balls, and the polka dot balloons hanging from the ceiling in the rest area. 5️⃣ The exhibition merchandise is also great. I ended up buying a polka dot backpack and a makeup bag. 📍 National Gallery of Victoria ⏰ Dates: December 15, 2024–April 21, 2025, 9:00 am–5:00 pm

🚗48-Hour Four Visits to Nalati Experience Guide|||Nalati is mainly divided into two parts: 1. Sky Prairie (vast grassland + snow-capped mountains + forest + stream in one frame), quite popular. 2. Valley Prairie (including Panlong Ancient Road), vast grassland, Panlong Ancient Road is a one-way mountain road, a three-dimensional landscape of grassland + forest (recommended). Two suggested self-driving tour routes: 1️⃣ Enter the scenic area early in the morning. From May to July, you can basically enter the scenic area at 8 a.m. (if you can stay inside the scenic area, you might get in even earlier). After entering, head straight to the Sky Prairie. At this time, there are fewer nomadic families and Tianjietai people, so if you want to take photos, do it early. Around 9 a.m., tour groups usually start entering the scenic area, and parking spaces become tight during peak season. After visiting the Sky Prairie, go to the Valley Prairie and Panlong Ancient Road. It is strongly recommended to drive around Panlong Ancient Road. 2️⃣ Enter the scenic area in the afternoon, first visit the Valley Prairie and Panlong Ancient Road, which takes about two to three hours. After 7 p.m., go to the Sky Prairie, where there are relatively fewer tourists (but grass sliding ends at this time). If the weather is good, you can even wait inside for a stunning sunset. Although the official rule states that self-driving vehicles need to leave after 9 p.m., you just need to leave before dark (in summer, it usually gets dark after 10:30 p.m.). Recommended viewing spots: 📍Nomadic Families, a three-dimensional painting of snow mountains, forests, streams, and grasslands. The famous internet celebrity bridge is here, and queuing is common. But you can continue walking further inside, where there are many single-plank bridges. Personally, I think it’s more beautiful there and no need to queue. 📍Tianjietai, climb high to enjoy a panoramic view of the vast scenery surrounded by distant snow-capped mountains. 📍Panlong Ancient Road (west section), only accessible by self-driving. You can switch infinitely between forest and three-dimensional grassland. Once inside, just say wow.

If you're planning a trip to Europe, Lake Como is a must-visit destination. It's truly a paradise on earth, even when the weather isn't perfect—it will still lift your spirits. Plus, you can visit the actual filming location of Star Wars here! Day 1: Milan Main Station to Lake Como - Hotel in Dervio - First, purchase a train ticket to Varenna. If you're staying near Bellano or Dervio, you can transfer at Varenna station. Tickets cost €7.40 per person and are valid for 6 hours after scanning or validating. - The train ride takes about an hour. You can relax or enjoy the view. For the best lake views, sit on the left side of the train. - For budget travelers, Airbnb options are available in Bellano and Dervio. We stayed in Dervio at "The Laghee Attic" for 2 nights at just €197. It was very affordable, with a kitchen and washing machine. There's also a nearby supermarket where you can buy groceries to save on meals. I'll share the location in the comments. - Dervio is a peaceful town with few tourists. You can enjoy views of Lake Como or take a boat to Maggio on the opposite side. Day 2: Bellano-Lenno-Bellagio-Varenna - We initially planned to take the train to Varenna, but due to a train breakdown in Bellano, we explored the town and took a boat instead. Check the travel cost details in the photos. - Bellano has more tourists but isn't overcrowded. There are hotels and restaurants near the pier. If you prefer a quieter stay, this town is a good option. - Our first destination was Lenno to visit Villa del Balbianello, a Star Wars filming location we were determined to see. The boat ride took nearly 2 hours, offering stunning views of Lake Como despite the cloudy weather. - Upon arriving in Lenno, you can either walk for about 30 minutes or take a boat directly to Villa del Balbianello. We chose to walk and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. - Entry to the villa costs €13, but we were lucky to get a student discount for €10. If you can't book tickets online, don't panic. Most tourists buy tickets at the entrance, but booking online is safer and avoids queues. Plan your visit carefully as the villa is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. - After visiting the villa, we took a boat to Bellagio. The views were breathtaking even before disembarking. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to explore as we spent time hiking in Lenno. We only managed to have a meal at Antichi Sappori, which mainly serves flavorful spaghetti dishes. - Bellagio is quite touristy, so it's advisable to book restaurants in advance. Near the pier, you'll find souvenir shops and even luxury brands for shopping. If you have extra time, explore the area for beautiful photo spots. - Varenna was another highlight we missed due to time constraints. By the time we returned, it was dark, and heavy rain forced us to take the train back to our accommodation. Day 3: Back to Milan - A word of caution: trains to and from Lake Como are often delayed due to single-track railways. If you're driving, parking might be limited, but you won't have to worry about train schedules. Especially for those catching connecting trains or flights, allow extra time. - We chose to return around noon when trains are less crowded. Evening trains are often packed, especially for one-day trips, so be prepared to stand all the way to Milan. - Train tickets can be purchased at station kiosks or online. Online booking is more convenient as some tickets require activation, which can be confusing. Sometimes staff check tickets, while other times, activation is required at the station. Is a one-day trip to Lake Como enough? - If you're not aiming to see everything, you can visit just Varenna and Bellagio. - However, staying for a night or two is recommended to experience the evening atmosphere and avoid the evening tourist rush on trains. - Visit before summer for pleasant weather, though rain is possible. Even in May-June, there can be frequent rain and clouds, while August tends to be very hot. Thank you for reading until the end! I hope this information is helpful for those planning a trip to Italy.

Baozi sells sincerely recommended guaranteed mini-programs. If you want to travel, or are thinking about traveling in May or June, you can try this city. I personally think it's not bad. Let me introduce you to a few places I've been that I think are good and worth visiting. Azerbaijan Travel Guide: An Adventure in the Caucasian "Land of Fire" ✅ --- ### **✅ Must-Visit Attractions** 1. **Baku — Magical "Little Dubai"** - **Flame Towers**: The light show at night looks like three giant "burning matchsticks." Azerbaijanis proudly say, "Look! Our national flag (with its own flame effects)!" - **Old City (Icherisheher)**: A UNESCO World Heritage Site. The maze-like alleys hide thousand-year-old mosques and the popular "Maiden Tower" (legend says a princess jumped from the tower to escape marriage, but the tower said, "I'll catch you, don't panic"). - **Palace of the Shirvanshahs**: The medieval king's mansion is perfect for taking photos pretending to be the protagonist of "Caucasian Game of Thrones." 2. **Gobustan — Prehistoric Humans' "Circle of Friends"** - There are three treasures here: **mud volcanoes** (half of the world's volcanoes are here; stepping on them is like bouncing on a "space mud" bed), **rock paintings** (ancient people's "I was here" graffiti), and a bubbling **asphalt lake** (natural foot spa, but don't really step in!). 3. **Sheki — Silk Road's Dessert Stop** - **Khansaray (Khan's Palace)**: The walls are full of colored glass, like an overturned candy jar. It is recommended to wear sunglasses to prevent being blinded. - **Sheki Halva**: A nutty layered pastry so sweet it causes tooth decay. One bite and your blood sugar screams "Help!", but your hand can't help but reach for a second piece. 4. **Ateshgah (Fire Temple)**: A Zoroastrian holy site where natural flames rise from the ground, perfect for performing a "bare-handed candle lighting" magic trick (do not imitate dangerous actions). --- ### **🍴 Foodie Radar: Azerbaijan Food Attack** - **Plov (Pilaf)**: The Azerbaijani version of "rice heaven," saffron-dyed into a nouveau riche gold, with lamb, chestnuts, and dried apricots buried underneath. It's so fragrant you'll want to lick the pot. - **Dolma (Stuffed Grape Leaves)**: Like small green dumplings, one bite at a time. Locals say, "Not eating Dolma is like not coming here." It is recommended to eat with yogurt (to relieve greasiness and aid digestion). - **Kebab**: Charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, simply and brutally delicious. The boss usually asks, "Spicy?" Answering "Az (a little)" may still set your mouth on fire. - **Qutab (Thin Pancake)**: A distant relative of the spring pancake, filled with spinach or lamb. Street stalls sell them for 5 mao each, the king of value for money. - **Attention, dessert lovers**: **Pakhlava (Nut and Honey Pastry)** and **Shekerbura (Almond-Filled Crescent)** are overloaded with sugar but have a happiness index that explodes! --- ### **😴 Accommodation Money-Saving Tips** - **Baku**: Old City B&Bs (USD 30–50/night). Some landlords will give you homemade jam and enthusiastically teach you ten Azerbaijani phrases (after learning, you may only be able to say "delicious"). - **Sheki**: Try Caravanserai (a hotel converted from an ancient post station). Sleep in a thousand-year-old stone house and dream back to the Silk Road (the Wi-Fi signal may also have traveled through time). --- ### **💡 Travel Tips** - **Language**: English is okay in Baku, but outside the city, please prepare Google Translate + body language (e.g., pointing to your stomach = "I'm hungry," touching your head = "How much is this?"). - **Transportation**: Intercity buses are cheap but slow. Ride-sharing (Yandex Taxi) is more flexible. The driver may play Azerbaijani divine songs all the way (resist the urge to shake your legs). - **Dad joke**: When Azerbaijanis ask you, "Do you like it here?" Please answer, "More enthusiastic than my ex!" (guaranteed applause of friendship). --- ✅ Summary**: Azerbaijan = flames + food + thousand-year-old brain holes. You can experience a "nouveau riche" feel even with a low budget! (Final reminder: Don't dance "Gangnam Style" in the mud volcano, you'll get stuck.) ✅
