We chartered a car from Kabul to Bamiyan.
The driver invited a local translator to join us.
In just two days, we had many adventures along the way.
By chance, we were invited to visit a local family.
The whole family came out to greet us with great hospitality.
Wearing a Mamian skirt to Bamiyan, we were praised for our beautiful clothes along the way.

The brother and sister came with us to the Buddhas of Bamiyan.
They were even able to say that the Eastern Buddha was 38m tall and the Western Buddha was 55m tall.
They learn about the history of Bamiyan in their history textbooks.
The Bamiyan Valley was once a Buddhist holy land.
The Chinese Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang arrived in Bamiyan in 630 AD.
In the Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, he recorded the prosperity of this place.

They said that they could see the Buddha statues from afar since they were children.
But they had never seen them up close before.
After the Buddha statues were destroyed, only empty caves remained.
People all over the world were heartbroken and saddened by the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan.
For the people of Bamiyan, this regret will be a permanent wound.

Now the Taleban have piled up the broken pieces of the Buddha statues to one side, surrounded them, and are charging admission.
And in the Buddha caves, you can still see the remaining traces…

On second thought, nothing in this world is eternal.
They destroyed the Buddha statues, but made more people aware of the Buddhas of Bamiyan.

The true Buddha is never bound by solemn appearances.
Every pair of eyes that has gazed upon it will see compassion in its destruction.
Isn't this also a kind of Nirvana…

The Buddhas of Bamiyan: Finding compassion in destruction

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.

Azerbaijan Travel Guide: An Adventure in the Caucasian &quot;Land of Fire&quot; ✅

---

### **✅ Must-Visit Attractions**
1. **Baku — Magical &quot;Little Dubai&quot;**
 - **Flame Towers**: The light show at night looks like three giant &quot;burning matchsticks.&quot; Azerbaijanis proudly say, &quot;Look! Our national flag (with its own flame effects)!&quot;
 - **Old City (Icherisheher)**: A UNESCO World Heritage Site. The maze-like alleys hide thousand-year-old mosques and the popular &quot;Maiden Tower&quot; (legend says a princess jumped from the tower to escape marriage, but the tower said, &quot;I'll catch you, don't panic&quot;).
 - **Palace of the Shirvanshahs**: The medieval king's mansion is perfect for taking photos pretending to be the protagonist of &quot;Caucasian Game of Thrones.&quot;

2. **Gobustan — Prehistoric Humans' &quot;Circle of Friends&quot;**
 - There are three treasures here: **mud volcanoes** (half of the world's volcanoes are here; stepping on them is like bouncing on a &quot;space mud&quot; bed), **rock paintings** (ancient people's &quot;I was here&quot; 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 &quot;Help!&quot;, 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 &quot;bare-handed candle lighting&quot; magic trick (do not imitate dangerous actions).

---

### **🍴 Foodie Radar: Azerbaijan Food Attack**
- **Plov (Pilaf)**: The Azerbaijani version of &quot;rice heaven,&quot; 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, &quot;Not eating Dolma is like not coming here.&quot; 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, &quot;Spicy?&quot; Answering &quot;Az (a little)&quot; 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&amp;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 &quot;delicious&quot;).
- **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 = &quot;I'm hungry,&quot; touching your head = &quot;How much is this?&quot;).
- **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, &quot;Do you like it here?&quot; Please answer, &quot;More enthusiastic than my ex!&quot; (guaranteed applause of friendship).

---

✅ Summary**: Azerbaijan = flames + food + thousand-year-old brain holes. You can experience a &quot;nouveau riche&quot; feel even with a low budget!
(Final reminder: Don't dance &quot;Gangnam Style&quot; in the mud volcano, you'll get stuck.)

The postcard-worthy world of Saltburn-by-the-Sea in the UK is so beautiful!


Hey besties, Thailand is more than just Bangkok and Phuket! I recently discovered a hidden gem of a resort—the Kanchanaburi River Kwai Jungle Rafts—a real-life Emerald City! 🌳

📍 Starting from Bangkok, I headed northwest and arrived in Kanchanaburi, instantly captivated by the stunning scenery. The resort floats atop the tranquil River Kwai, surrounded by lush mountains and swirling mists, like a portal to another world.

🛖 The floating houses are cleverly designed, constructed entirely of wood, seamlessly blending with nature. The rooms are cozy, and from the soft bed, you can gaze through the window at the River Kwai flowing gently by. Waking up to the sun on your face, accompanied by birdsong and the murmur of flowing water, is an unforgettable experience!

🍱 Here, your taste buds embark on a wondrous journey. The resort specializes in Thai and Burmese cuisine, using mostly local ingredients. The lemongrass-grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the tamarind chicken is sweet and sour—every bite is an authentic taste of Southeast Asia. Sitting by the river, enjoying the breeze and savoring the delicious food, pure bliss!

🌅 During the day, explore the River Kwai by kayak, weaving through the river bends and encountering diverse wildlife. In the evening, watch the breathtaking sunset from your balcony, as the sky transforms into shades of orange and red, and the River Kwai shimmers—a scene of speechless beauty.

The staff are warm and attentive, even offering a refreshing Thai iced tea upon check-in—extra points for hospitality!

I highly recommend this to anyone seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle and a chance to connect with nature. Come to Kanchanaburi River Kwai Jungle Rafts and embark on a dreamy water getaway! 💕

Lahore is also known as the heart of Pakistan.
A must-visit place when you come to Pakistan.
I took a day trip in 40℃ heat.
I was often stopped by strangers for photos...
I really felt the fiery passion of Pakistan in every way 🔥
.
🇵🇰A Day Trip to Lahore
📍Badshahi Mosque
The largest mosque in Pakistan 🕌 and also in the Mughal architectural style.
If you visit during the day, be prepared for the ground to be very hot!
You have to take off your shoes to enter, and white socks will instantly turn black🙈
.
📍Lahore Fort
Just opposite the mosque, it is convenient to visit together.
💡Tickets are purchased at the north gate 🎫PKR 1,000
It was built in 1021 AD and is an architectural gem of the Mughal dynasty.
A must-see is the Sheesh Mahal Lahore, which is also the gorgeous palace that Shah Jahan built for the Taj Mahal~
There is an additional PKR 100 entrance fee, and the Naulakha Pavilion is also here.
Remember to check out the magnificent main gate, Alamgiri Gate, when you come out.
.
📍Lahore Museum
A very pleasant surprise! You can admire the Gandhara art treasures 🎫PKR 1,000
.
📍Anarkali Bazaar
You can take a stroll here since it's near the museum.
I found beautiful Pakistani clothes here! 👗
.
📍Shalimar Gardens
If you have time, you can go. It was under maintenance and closed the day we went.
.
📍India-Pakistan Flag Lowering Ceremony
At Wagah Border, you must go early!
Try to arrive before 4pm. It is now from 5:30pm to 6:30pm.
Enter one hour in advance. If you arrive late, you will not be allowed to enter.
I didn't make it this time because of the traffic jam. Be prepared for the hot weather...
.
🍴Restaurants
📍Haveli Restaurant
It is on the street outside the mosque and is also a popular restaurant in Lahore.
It is very hot during the day, so you can only dine indoors. The terrace is only open for photos.
It is very suitable to sit on the terrace at night, where you can overlook the entire mosque.
.
🏨Hotels
📍Hotel Nova
Before coming, I was worried that I would be forcibly escorted or refused accommodation.
This hotel confirmed in advance that I could stay and guaranteed freedom of entry and exit.
The facilities and service are also very good! The only drawback is that it is a half-hour drive from the city center, but it is very convenient to call a car with inDrive, so it is completely acceptable.
.
🚌Transportation
Take the Faisal Movers bus from Faisal Movers in downtown Islamabad. It is a 5-hour direct trip to Lahore 📍Faisal Movers, Band Rd, Lahore
I recommend the business class seat 🎫PKR 3,000! Water, food, and free Wi-Fi are provided 🆓 You can lie down the whole way and not be tired at all!

🚗Day 1: West Lake Classic Loop + Night Tour of Hefang Street

🌅Morning: West Lake Highlights
① Broken Bridge: Arrive before 7 AM to avoid crowds and experience the romantic setting of &quot;Legend of the White Snake.&quot; The rowing boats in the morning mist against the lake scenery resemble a Chinese ink painting.
② Bai Causeway Stroll: Walk from Broken Bridge along Bai Causeway to Solitary Hill, passing by &quot;Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake.&quot; Visit Xiling Seal Society (perfect photo spot with red walls and dark tiles).
③ Hand-rowed Boat Tour: Choose the &quot;Guozhuang to Maojiabu&quot; route (about 180 yuan/hour), glide through reed marshes, encounter ducks and water lilies, while boatmen share vivid West Lake legends.

🛕Day 2: Lingyin Temple Zen + Song Dynasty Time Travel

🌞Morning: Lingyin Temple + Faxisi Temple

Suzhou tourism has a lasting impact! The small bridges and flowing water of Pingjiang Road, the colorful flowers and greenery of Suzhou gardens, Suzhou in spring is truly divine!
📸I just came back from Suzhou and have compiled a flower viewing and kid-friendly itinerary for Suzhou, including routes + attractions + accommodation. Those traveling to Suzhou can refer to it～

Master of the Nets Garden
If you can only visit one garden, I highly recommend the Master of the Nets Garden. The garden is not big but quiet. There are popular white magnolias in early March, and the wisteria flower windows in the Master of the Nets Garden in early April are also stunning! At dusk, you can check in with the reflection of the pavilions shimmering in the golden light～
Tickets: 30
⏰Opening hours: 7:30-17:30 (last entry at 17:00)

&middot;
✔Accommodation Guide:
I used to stay in hotels when I traveled to Suzhou. This time, I traveled with my daughter and wanted to find a homestay with Suzhou characteristics to experience~
The homestay I booked is located at 📍Changyang Music Island in Wujiang District, surrounded by a sea of rapeseed flowers, giving it a very idyllic feeling～ My room is on the second floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the fields and lake view, the view is great～
The homestay is a detached villa with complete facilities～ The extra-large courtyard is suitable for barbecues and camping. Children can pick in the farmland and sing in the living room, while adults can drink tea and chat in the sunroom. Children can play, and adults can gather, without interfering with each other~
✔I used Ctrip to book the homestay. It's a professional platform that is trustworthy, with many high-quality listings. You can watch unfiltered real-shot videos to avoid photo scams and pitfalls～ After-sales service is also guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with your stay, keep the proof and you will be compensated～ I recommend choosing a homestay for traveling with children during May Day. It's also more cost-effective than a hotel~

From the lobby on the first floor to the guest rooms, you can't help but be amazed by this place—it's none other than ❝The Westin Resort & Spa❞!

For my dad's birthday, we went on a father-daughter trip and chose The Westin Resort without hesitation to enjoy a relaxing staycation. Seeing my dad happy every day made me think, 'I really picked the perfect accommodation this time.' 🥹

The moment we entered the room, we were greeted by an emerald ocean view and clouds floating in the sky, like a painting. It was a healing point for both me and my dad throughout our stay. With diverse offerings like a vibrant breakfast, infinity pool, private beach, spa, lounge bar, and restaurant, this trip became even more special!

Until May 31, they're running the "Flash to Paradise" promotion, offering up to 30% off room rates. Don't miss out—create dreamlike moments with your loved ones at The Westin Resort 😊

👉🏻 The room I stayed in was the 'Junior Suite King Bedroom.'
