Taiwanese people are also quite creative when it comes to swear words.

Selfies, plus being bold enough to ask strangers to take them for you.

On one hand, I feel sorry for them if they're genuinely homeless and taking shelter here. But on the other hand, if the person living there has malicious intentions and targets a lone woman passing by—thinking of murder, rape, or robbery—that would be absolutely detestable... Sigh, it's such a complicated world.

Hahaha, I've also seen so many posts on Xiaohongshu saying Guangzhou is full of tourist traps! Let me work on putting together some categorized itineraries.

I'm speechless. A sudden pandemic outbreak is NOT an excuse to only refund half the deposit. How can there still be such rip-off businesses? Everyone, keep your eyes peeled and be careful before you pay a deposit.

I'll remember that for next time.

Are weather and food really things you only find out about once you get there?

And then there are the construction trucks running non-stop in the middle of the night. My house is separated from the road by a river, and I'm on the top floor, yet it's still incredibly noisy. I called to complain, and they said it's compliant.

The location and river view are unbeatable, though.

I really want to visit Shanghai.

Exactly! 'The places others are tired of'—that's the core of tourism.

City God Temple and Jing'an Temple – I've lived in Shanghai for over 20 years and have only ever passed by, never actually gone in.

If prices in Shanghai were low, it would quickly lose its appeal/novelty.

Any recommendations?

Gardens often involve climbing rockeries and such, so they're naturally not stroller-friendly. You can get around Suzhou by subway, and most stations have accessible elevators. Commercial photoshoots are a real headache, even for locals, but when tourists come, you can't just tell them not to take pictures. It's fair to ask them not to hog the best photo spots for too long, though. And yes, the reckless e-bike riding is a real issue.

Go to the Couple's Retreat Garden (Yi Yuan)! Skip the Humble Administrator's Garden (Zhuo Zheng Yuan)!!

Yeah, but if the vehicle lane is really narrow, you can't. Then if you ride in the middle, cars behind you just keep honking.

Hey, where have everyone gone to have a good time?

If you want to maintain more vividness, it can also be translated into:

Hey, where has everyone gone off to have a blast?

It's truly beautiful.
