Two egg hamburgers for 9.9 RMB, how is that expensive?

Alrighty, I must address this matter!

• The buzz has been building up for a while now, and the official confirmation is here!
  • What's the news? It's about our friends in Taiwan who can now enjoy independent travel ("freedom travel") to certain places on the mainland without going with a tour group.
  • Which regions are included?
    • Fujian Province: If you're unfamiliar with this province, it's situated right across the Taiwan Strait from Taiwan. They are in close proximity, and their culture and language (e.g. Hokkien) share many similarities with Taiwan.
    • Shanghai: No need to elaborate on this bustling international metropolis, known as "the Magic City"!
  • ️ Special Notice (Especially for Friends from Taiwan):
    • If you have always desired to explore either of these regions independently, but may have hesitated due to policy uncertainties or cumbersome procedures.
    • What now? Take action now! Check out the latest official information and application process. It seems that the procedures have become much more convenient, so start planning your trip!
• This is indeed a good news for all Taiwanese looking forward to independent travel to these beautiful destinations such as Fujian and Shanghai.

@菠萝吹雪 @大龙猫 @小鳄鱼不饿 @Fione @柠檬茶加冰！ I know it might be inconvenient for folks in Taiwan, but is it really that shocking? That's hilarious!

Otherwise, what's there to talk about? There are no inherent enemies in the world, just different standpoints. You'll understand if you spend enough time in neutral territories. I work in duty-free, and Taiwanese people are much easier to get along with than Hongkongers...

Riding that e-bike was mind-numbing. Seriously, who came up with this attraction?

Wow, this marked line is truly a "genius" design, ha-ha! I'd say, let's just as well get rid of the sidewalks and all join together to "fly freely" on the road!

Speaking of friends in Shenzhen, why haven't you guys unlocked your "flight" skills? It's time to reflect on yourselves!

Even with these odd, random lines drawn, those "Diàn Jī", which are what we commonly refer to as electric bicycles or scooters, completely go against the book and still gallop around everywhere.

I don't know what Shenzhen has been up to these past two years?? It feels like municipal management is getting somewhat messy.

️ Important Tips for Tourists in Shenzhen!

• Watch out for "Diàn Jī" (E-bikes/Scooters)!
  • E-bikes are very common in Shenzhen, they drive fast, and their drivers may not necessarily follow traffic regulations or stay within the marked lines. Be very careful when walking or crossing streets by checking your surroundings!
  • How to Stay Safe: Always be aware of your surroundings, especially when crossing streets or walking near bike lanes. Don't assume they will stop for you.
• Sidewalks might be...unpredictable!
  • As I mentioned, sometimes the non-motor vehicle lanes (for bikes and e-vehicles) get drawn onto sidewalks or are poorly designed. Watch where you step and watch out for e-vehicles running into you.
  • How to Stay Safe: Pay close attention to where you are walking. Sometimes the designated pedestrian area isn’t clear or is shared.
• Lane markings are just suggestions !
  • Don't take the black and white lines too seriously, particularly in more chaotic traffic areas. Safety comes first, so remain alert and act with flexibility!
  • How to Stay Safe: Don't blindly rely on the lines on the ground; make smart decisions and exercise caution.

Alright, it feels like addressing the world in an airport lobby, I get it I get it! If we put it in a casual tone for our forum discussion, here’s how it would be:

• Hey, fellow travelers! Are you, like me, feeling the itch to go out and explore the world?
  • Particularly, I want to find some quiet places with beautiful views, rather than battling the crowds. Got any tips for off-peak travel?
  • Do you have any cities that you fell in love with and would never mind visiting again and again? Share them!
  • (In confidence, I've stumbled upon "Xiaohongshu," a popular platform among Chinese users for sharing life experiences and discoveries of great items, kind of like Instagram and Pinterest combined. Inspired by all the wonderful destinations, I am reaching out to helpful members of our community for advice.)
  • The point is: avoid scams! Request guidelines!
    • For us, "modern office workers" (referred to as hardworking young people), a trip out isn't easy and there are fears of encountering "minefields" or being misled.
    • Could those with experience share how not to fall into traps and miss out on troubles during trips?
    • Please offer a reliable travel guide or any hidden secrets to traveling well would also be great!
  • Bottom line: I'm itching to go on a trip! Come help me!

1. For Shenzhen Bay Park, you missed the Talent Park section – that's the main highlight. 2. At Sea World, you didn't go to the actual seaside, which is the city's most beautiful coastal area; another key spot missed. 3. For Dameisha, you skipped the seaside boardwalk, so you missed the best part there too. That's about it.

If you've been to Shanghai, you'd know their interchange distances are almost like navigating a high-speed rail station. Guangzhou is actually much better in that regard, aside from a few new lines.

How much is it?

The subways are packed, driving means gridlock, and cycling is chaotic. And people still keep flocking here despite all this?

I'm almost ready to give up, just because I can't manage to sublet it, and my job isn't going well either.

There isn't much great food in Hangzhou... Every time I go out to eat, it takes me ages to decide what to have. However, the infrastructure is excellent, and it's very clean.

Actually, I think it's okay to go now. The roller coaster queue was only 30 minutes today. When I went at the end of last month, I waited for 2 hours.

The butterfly pastries at the International Hotel haven't been 25 for ages. Was this posted this year?

I recommend Jiang Zhanggui's Old Shanghai Pork Rib Rice Cakes. They're way better than Xian De Lai's!

Sure, here are the rewritings of these tags in a way that is more suitable for foreign friends to read and understand on a forum post:

• "Having trouble during your trip to Shanghai? Feel free to ask me anything, I will answer all your questions!"
  • ("Asking with assurance that every question will be answered" means that you can ask any questions you have regarding your travel in Shanghai, and I will do my best to provide answers.)
• "What's the nightlife like in Shanghai?"
  • For example:
    • What places would you usually go to in the evening?
    • Could you recommend any bars worth visiting?

I booked mine on Meituan (MT), and it's my favorite guesthouse so far! It has a projector, an iron, and even some workout gear. The only catch is they charge for disposable bath towels, but that's not a dealbreaker.

Actually, housing prices here are incredibly expensive!

Okay!!! Thanks so much~
