The cong bao hui wasn't great at all—it was overpriced and bland.

It's such an impressive place. Am I weird or what? The first time I went to the Bund, I was truly impressed. So much so that I went every weekend for two years, and by the end, the novelty had worn off. But when I left, the amazement came back.

The majority of people who climb on cultural relics are probably tourists. Why blame Nanjing?

A new way to gain traction: exploiting regional conflicts.

That's just how people are. When they're poor, they dream of a better life. Once they're rich, they often want to return to a simpler lifestyle.

Wetherm shoutout: check. Mars hoodie: check. IP location: check.

That's a great analogy. A city's timescale is different from a human's. It would take many human lifetimes to witness a city's decline, though of course, few would care. Just as disposable tableware can be recycled, parts of a city can also be refurbished and revitalized.

Girl, I was in the same boat! They said they couldn't issue a refund because it was rescheduled. But then they told me their new Tianhe store opens on the 6th and asked if I wanted to switch to their Tiyu Xi branch instead. So I did.

You've got a point.

Hahahaha, totally different experiences!

DM me for car chartering.

If you don't mind the distance, our farmhouse guesthouse is affordable, and it's near Gubei Water Town.

Ten years ago, there weren't so many fences around Tiananmen Square. You could just walk there or get off the subway and go straight to the square. Now, you need to make reservations, go through security checks, and show your ID. I went again last year and was genuinely shocked. I hadn't been in ten years, and the changes are so massive. I don't even like going anymore.

Plus, cars yield to pedestrians... I actually got fined last year for not yielding.

Why don't we trade places? I actually like Hangzhou.

You go, sis! Don't let these scammers walk all over you. Haven't you seen all those apologists on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) saying things like, 'The first two days' expenses are subsidized by the last day's shopping stops,' or 'If you opt for a cheap tour, you have to put up with the shopping,' or 'Freeloading on transport and accommodation for two days and then bailing on the last day shows a lack of contract spirit,' blah blah blah. Screw that! They're the ones who lured people in with low prices in the first place. Now they're just getting a taste of their own medicine.

In other parts of the country, you can use Alipay directly. There's no need to download a specific app for just one city.

Any gals heading to Suzhou around late June or early July?

Why not stay near Guanqian Street?
