Owed Travel Goddesses' Plans

Travel methods: self-driving, independent travel, budget travel, weekend trips. The author has been to these places: Hyatt on the Bund, Shanghai; Taiping Lake; Dream World. Published on March 10, 2020, at 21:48. At the beginning of the Year of the Rat in 2020, we were unable to watch the Spring Festival Gala happily, participate in the annual New Year greetings from aunts and uncles. We couldn’t call our girlfriends to watch New Year’s films. All the unexpectedness has left us with many regrets. On this Women’s Day, we invited travel goddesses to share their travel plans in their hearts. They want to go out freely, eat the delicious food they want, see the people they want to see, see the scenery they want to see, and travel to the places they want to go. Let’s listen to what they have to say! (There is super welfare at the end!) Want to light the lamp, Aladdin’s magic lamp. Goddess Ada. In January, Shanghai was blowing a chilly wind. Walking home from work, thinking that in a few days I could go to the warm Arabian Peninsula on my annual leave. I was extremely full of expectations. Later, as we all know, the epidemic suddenly struck. All kinds of social networks have been occupied, and various refund and change policies of platforms have also been launched one after another. My family and I were about to take off. After careful consideration, we still refunded the tickets and canceled a series of trips. At critical times, let’s not add chaos to the motherland. Although the trip was canceled, Sharjah, that pearl on the Arabian Peninsula, still haunts me. Childhood bedtime stories: One Thousand and One Nights, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin’s Magic Lamp, Sinbad the Sailor, etc., planted my curiosity about this territory. The Arabian Peninsula is the largest peninsula in the world. Countries we are familiar with such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates stand here. They believe in Islam. Sharjah, an emirate, is honored as the ‘Cultural Capital of the Arab World’. Entering the heart of Sharjah – the Heart of Sharjah, encountering ancient houses and castles, time seems to flow backward, as if returning to the 19th century. The outer walls built of shell gravel and round wind towers. Touching the Arab-style architecture up close is like an old man slowly approaching you, telling about the nomadic life of the ancient Bedouins. Or you can read ancient books and materials, view unearthed cultural relics, and understand the environmental changes from the Stone Age to the present, including customs, houses, and mysterious funeral customs. Unexpectedly, Arabic calligraphy has a long history that can be traced back to the Islamic era. It originated from the handwritten Quran. There are many fonts. It is a spiritual wealth created by the Arab people with wisdom for human civilization. Finally, I recommend The Chedi Al Bait, Sharjah, UAE. After the epidemic is over, I want to polish Aladdin’s magic lamp and wish the world peace and smoothness.
Sharjah Information: It takes only 15 minutes to drive from Dubai Airport to the cultural heartland of Sharjah – Heart of Sharjah. Picture sources above: The Chedi Al Bait Sharjah, UAE. Seek a Habitat in Southern Fujian. Goddess Linda. The epidemic has made us realize the preciousness of life. After the epidemic, I want to take a trip on a whim. Because Bai Yansong said: Quanzhou is a city you should visit at least once in your lifetime. Quanzhou is an ancient historical city. The Maritime Silk Road set sail from here. China’s first “East Asian Cultural Capital” became famous here. The old streets and alleys still retain the flavor of ancient red-brick houses in southern Fujian. People from southern Fujian have lived here for generations and guard China’s best. The historical origin, Buddhist culture and architecture here shock me. There are also people who worship devoutly in temples. Faith brings stability and stability brings satisfaction. Seek a habitat. The environmental design of Yuequan Hotel in Anxi delights me. The single-family villas built by combining the swallow-tail ridge architecture of ancient southern Fujian houses with white walls and grey tiles are permeated with the plain and simple charm of Zen tea everywhere. I want to stand under the century-old banyan tree in the atrium, embrace this century-old tree, have a spiritual conversation, make a wish for 2020, sit on the rocking chair in the courtyard and feel the energy bestowed by the sun. At dusk, taste a cup of fragrant tea and take a bath in a pool of tea spring. Enjoy the long-lost freedom and tranquility. Chase the afterglow of the sunset here. Want to Take a Deep Breath in Anji Bamboo Sea Oxygen Bar. Goddess Alice. Because of the epidemic, all my plans were disrupted. Originally, I planned to take my family to find a deep mountain forest to rest for a few days during the Spring Festival to reward my family for their busy year. But what happened later made everyone stay quietly at home. However, with the whole country working together, the epidemic has gradually recovered. Now I am looking forward to the day when I can safely take off my mask. I can take my family to Anji for a deep breath in the bamboo sea oxygen bar. Anji has endless bamboo seas and mountains full of trees. Coming here and living a life away from the city and like a paradise is an extremely good way to vacation. This is the shooting location of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. The scenes where Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Ziyi fly around on top of the bamboo forest were filmed here. Even director Ang Lee said that it is the beautiful landscape of Anji that made this movie. What attracts me the most here is a hotel, that is, Banyan Tree Anji. It is located in the Lingfeng Tourism Resort, Anji National Tourism Resort in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. Surrounded by mountains, shaded by green bamboos, and filled with the fragrance of tea gardens. This mountain retreat is an ideal place to escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life and embrace the fresh and natural.

The hotel boasts a total of 151 rooms, including 121 spacious rooms and suites as well as 30 villas. The architecture and interior design reflect local cultural characteristics, offering excellent privacy and enchanting mountain views. The most striking feature is the 270-degree lake and mountain view from the outdoor lobby bar, which is surrounded by a slender landscape pool that blends seamlessly with the stunning infinity pool. It’s easy to pretend to be in Bali, with its different beauties from the misty mornings to the sunset evenings. Jessica, a goddess who measures the historical depth of Xi’an with her steps, wishes to visit Xi’an after the pandemic ends. This city is not only a culturally rich ancient capital but also a vibrant internet-famous city. From the bricks and tiles of the ancient city wall to the calligraphy brushes at the Academy Gate, from the beef and mutton stew in the Muslim Quarter to the fashionable boutiques in the commercial center, from the silver sachets in the historical museum to the internet-famous young ladies at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, one can measure history with steps and gain a different understanding of ‘Chang’an’. For travel, I highly recommend staying at the InterContinental Xi’an North, which opened at the end of last year and is the first InterContinental hotel in Xi’an and Northwest China. The hotel’s location is conveniently accessible by two subway lines, making it easy to reach the Bell and Drum Towers or the Datang Everbright City. Furthermore, with the attentive and knowledgeable InterContinental concierge service, you can delve deeper into local culture and explore the city’s charm like a local. Additionally, staying at the hotel itself offers a unique experience, especially the Garden View Deluxe Room, also known as ‘Chang’an Mansion’, which cleverly incorporates the traditional ‘three-entry courtyard’ design and continues the traditional Chinese order of gates, ‘first enter the mansion gate, second pass through the courtyard, third enter the hall’, just like the grand households of ancient Chang’an, skillfully dividing the space while ensuring privacy during your stay, with more ingenious designs waiting for you to discover. When spring blossoms, await your arrival in Nanjing, goddess Zoey. The beauty of the world is always interconnected, and the four seasons cycle continuously. The missed scenery will eventually meet, so let’s start from the spring of 2020, to feel the vibrant colors of spring, the lush green of summer, the orange and yellow of autumn, and the silver-clad winter. ‘Close to the residence of the Confucian scholars, food is never too refined, and fish is never too finely cut; next to the left bank of the Qinhuai River, always in good company with flowers and the full moon’, the unique charm of Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and its modern and prosperous atmosphere, await your visit. The hotel I recommend is the Nanjing Langsheng Hilton Hotel, located in the core business district of Jianye District, Nanjing—Jiangdong Middle Road, close to the Wanda Shopping Center. The hotel’s design blends the royal cultural characteristics of Nanjing, the ‘tiger crouching and dragon coiling, with mountains and rivers as the best’, a capital of ten dynasties, with modern design, elegant yet ancient.
Featuring 333 elegantly styled rooms equipped with comfortable facilities for guests to indulge in comfort and pleasure. Each room boasts an individual air conditioning control system, wireless network coverage, a 42-inch LCD TV, and comfortable sofas for a relaxing experience. The ‘Yue Yang’ Chinese restaurant offers an elegant setting, specializing in Chinese characteristic cuisines, widely embracing Huaiyang famous dishes, and wholeheartedly offering premium Huaiyang dishes, allowing the authentic flavors to linger on your lips and taste buds. Enjoy delicacies and appreciate the true meaning. In the newly popular city of Changsha, the spicy and delicious food attracts a crowd, including the popular Joanna from Orange Island, who enjoys the fireworks display watched by hundreds of thousands of tourists; the Super Wenhe Friend, with a daily queue of 20,000 tables; and the Hunan TV gala, featuring 777 drones shining on Qixi Festival. The newly popular city of Changsha is surging in popularity with frequent screen dominance. Having been at home for too long, I am looking forward to a trip to explore Changsha in the spring when the flowers bloom. In just two days and one night, spend a weekend exploring the fiery Xiang city. Taste authentic local foods such as stinky tofu, sugar oil cake, tea with a pleasant color, and a double afternoon tea. Check in at the popular landmark and take photos at the ‘New Landmark of Changsha’, which is beloved by the younger generation! Ah, under the influence of a strong artistic atmosphere, the soul seems to become more refined. When it comes to the new landmark of Changsha’s internet celebrities, we must not miss Meixi Lake. The twin towers reach for the sky with sharp lines, contrasting with Zaha Hadid’s legendary work – Meixi Lake International Culture and Art Center. The smooth and dynamic ultra-modern parabolic curves impact the visual senses of passers-by, attracting wave after wave of check-in visitors. If you don’t want to play anything and just want to rest peacefully during the long-awaited holiday before returning to the battlefield of life, then come to the new landmark of the internet celebrities ‘a paradise in the city’. I recommend the Meixi Lake Jinmao Luxury Collection Hotel in Changsha, where you can enjoy a one-stop satisfaction of body and mind with luxurious collection custom bedding, and the long-awaited sleep experience. After resting, go downstairs to find authentic local food at Peach Blossom Garden Chinese Restaurant, focusing on innovative dishes and local flavors, selecting fresh seasonal ingredients, and performing a pure natural pastoral delicacies movement. Their Meixi Bakery Cake Shop, with a passionate team of chefs, combines Chinese and Western dessert creativity, with every bite full of surprises for the taste buds. PS: Zheng Yunlong from Hunan Satellite TV’s ‘Sound of My Heart’ has praised our Napoleon as particularly delicious. By the Xiangjiang River and Yanghu Lake, humanities and nature blend perfectly. When surrounded by art, a tranquility from within gradually spreads in your heart. Far from the city’s poetic fairyland, where do you want to go after the epidemic ends? If it were me, I would definitely take off my mask at the first opportunity and choose a hidden rural pastoral area, avoiding crowds, and go to the mountains and streams to see the spring blossoms.
I highly recommend the Changxing Kaiyuan Fangcaoti Rural Hotel, located in the pristine Huizhou Village, with its back to Taihu Lake and only a 2-hour drive from Shanghai. Huizhou Village boasts the exquisite landscape unique to the Jiangnan region, harboring a vast hidden sea of flowers and forests, making it a secluded paradise not far from the city. If you are looking for a secret haven to escape the urban life and a poetic place to dwell, the Changxing Kaiyuan Fangcaoti Rural Hotel offers tea, bamboo, scenery, people, objects, and sentiment. Nestled within a 400-acre private tea garden and bamboo sea, the hotel is a true natural oxygen bar with a high forest coverage rate. It is a secluded and elegant abode where mountains are within sight and fragrances fill the air. Fangcaoti’s low-key and simple style blends seamlessly with the local scenery, giving the initial impression of stepping back in time to a countryside homestay. Yet, the surrounding tea gardens, bamboo forests, and streams bring you back to reality, reminding visitors of the most authentic traditional Chinese pastoral scenery and offering a modern pastoral lifestyle experience. The hotel features low-density characteristic wooden cabins and lush green fields as its core, with 178 various rooms/suites spread across bamboo forests, tea gardens, and lawns. Whether it’s a cozy wooden villa or a spacious and comfortable main building standard room, hidden in the green hills, natural elegance flows in through the windows. Looking out the window, one is captivated by the addictive verdant greenery, and inside the room, there’s a sense of natural wood, modernity, and a touch of humanistic sentiment that permeates the surroundings. As you lie leisurely on the bed in a wooden cabin, with the windows and doors open allowing a gentle breeze, the chirping of birds and the rustling of bamboo leaves fill your ears, providing a sense of tranquility far from the city that can instantly calm a restless heart. Feel the essence of each season in the cycle of nature, feed cute animals in the farm, pick fresh vegetables in the Dongli farm, and experience the joy of harvest. During the time of shuttling through the Hexi Corridor, Goddess Sen Die, I started with the daily routine of waking up to the novel coronavirus news on the hot search, and then one day I became indifferent to even the daily increase in cases. Perhaps it was an inexplicable certainty that overcame fear, or perhaps it was the instinct of a leek. Rather than letting emotions be taken on a roller coaster by the sometimes magical and sometimes touching news, it’s better to proactively use this gap to watch documentaries in the collection folder, read novels bought years ago but never opened, and eat food made without MSG. To put it harshly, this is a temporary tribute to the limited edition leisure life from a fortunate person. Know me well, none other than Bilibili! When Bilibili recommended a documentary called ‘Hexi Corridor’ based on my preferences, I felt a moment of joyous surprise. The wonderful copywriting and the rich, unaffected narration made me impulsively purchase a month’s membership and binge-watch the 9.9-rated documentary.
The Hexi Corridor, a geographical passage resembling a corridor located in the middle section of Gansu Province, has been an integral part of Chinese history since Emperor Wu of Han won the scepter from the Xiongnu. Stretching from northwest to southeast, the cities of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang run through the entire Hexi Corridor. After more than two thousand years of dynastic changes, these four cities still bear the names given by Emperor Wu when he established the Hexi Four Commanderies: Wuwei, signifying military prowess and might to showcase the Han Empire’s martial strength in the Hexi region; Zhangye, cutting off the Xiongnu’s arm, extending the Han Dynasty’s influence; Jiuquan, named for the spring beneath the city, whose water tastes like wine; Dunhuang, meaning grand and splendid. Setting aside the complex history, the Hexi Corridor boasts every type of terrain on this planet except for oceans, making it worth visiting for sightseeing alone. Thus, I silently set a goal to travel from Lanzhou, heading westward along the Qilian Mountains through the Hexi Corridor when spring arrives, allowing my footsteps to overlap with history. For accommodation, I recommend the Lanzhou Wanda Vista Wenhua Hotel, a landmark building in Lanzhou City, which is highly regarded in Lanzhou and Gansu Province. Guests can enjoy the convenience of a large urban complex with integrated facilities for shopping, entertainment, dining, and leisure. A week before the start of the 2020 Spring Festival holiday, no one would have imagined that the holiday would extend to more than a month and a half. At that time, I was still looking forward to the fireworks in March and planning to go out for a spring outing with my friends after the holiday. Due to the pandemic, the Spring Festival holiday turned into a ‘winter vacation,’ and the rest of 2020 only allowed for weekends to go out and enjoy life, so I started my frequent short trips. The first stop I want to visit is Jiaxing, the representative of the most water-town characteristics. In the well-preserved canal ancient town, one can lean on the railing to watch the bridges, taste zongzi and tea, sleep by the water, and visit the South Lake Red Boat. The quality of accommodation is the first factor I consider when visiting a place, so I checked the hotels and locked in the newly opened Jiaxing Marriott Hotel, which meets the needs with a good brand and proximity to the attractions. I look forward to the day when we can take off our masks, to ticking off new destinations, and to the days that will still be beautiful after the pandemic ends. Every person has a place they long for in their heart, and I have a childlike longing for Lijiang. Lijiang, a cultural ancient city, gathers the essence of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Naxi culture, while possessing magnificent natural scenery and profound cultural heritage. It has become one of China’s enchanting tourist destinations.
Lijiang boasts three ancient towns, the largest being the bustling Dayan Ancient Town. In contrast, I prefer the tranquil and rustic Shuhe Ancient Town, where I can feel the echoes of the thousand-year-old Tea Horse Road as I walk on the stone slabs. Following the stream downstream, I experience the comfort of small bridges over flowing water and homes. Without hesitation, I chose the Lijiang Jom阅 Marriott Autograph Collection, which is closer to Shuhe. I was immediately struck by its architectural style upon entering. The hotel combines traditional Naxi architecture with modern design, interpreting the elegant Chinese pavilions with a modern touch amidst the bustling local village, giving guests the feeling of walking through the streets of the ancient town of Lijiang. What’s more delightful is the hotel’s many lovely animals, including adorable South American alpacas, English Shetland ponies, peacocks, black swans, mandarin ducks, and goldfish. The hotel has professional keepers who feed them with care. As a pet lover, I bought feed from the keeper and happily went to feed the alpacas. Isn’t the purpose of travel to make our family happy? I wish to stay in the ancient town for a while, leaving behind worldly troubles, enjoying the setting sun, reading, chatting, daydreaming, and dreaming, accompanied by my family. Hand in hand, we stroll by the Huangshan Taiping Lake, where the goddess Cai Cai says, ‘How long has it been since you last saw the person you miss during this pandemic? I hope that not only spring arrives on schedule but also a safe you after the pandemic. Seeing flowers is like seeing your face, and your smile remains the same. We walk hand in hand by the Huangshan Taiping Lake, where the setting sun reflects on the layers of mountains, and the afterglow leans over the ten thousand mountains. The soft afterglow gently sprinkles on the lake surface, with sparkling waves. Looking at you, I think that if you are with me in the future, I will not be afraid of anything. The Huangshan Taiping Lake Green Crowne Plaza Hotel is located in the Taiping Lake Scenic Area, built by the water, with all lake-view comfortable rooms equipped with a large viewing balcony. You can lean on a lounge chair, drinking tea while enjoying this picturesque landscape that is like a fairyland. The hotel’s unique outdoor infinity pool, if a lakeside proposal could be held here, at that moment, the sun and breeze, the lake and mountains, all become the most generous gifts and blessings from nature. It is said that there is still a thousand-year-old ancient city hidden at the bottom of Huangshan Taiping Lake today, and people in the past called it ‘Three Li Qinhuai’. There is a widely circulated story of ‘Huangshan Lovers’ here. Surrounded by mountains and waters, with stars dotted around, the breeze blowing on the face is like a whisper between lovers, let us return to the dream world of the two of us among the green pines and bamboos! Interactive Gift Many people must have already planned to walk freely under the warm spring sun after the pandemic is completely over, in the bustling world, eating the favorite spicy hot pot, taking off the mask and having fun~ So, tell the editor, where do you want to go for your next trip?
