In July, I went back to Shanghai again but this time, instead of doing a day trip to Suzhou or Hangzhou, me and my sisters decided to do a side trip to Hengdian. It is a 2.5hr journey from Shanghai via highspeed train. We stayed in a hotel that included 2 free tickets to Hengdian attractions, so

Day 4 | Dali — S-Bay, Cangshan The driver picked me up at around 10am and brought me to S-Bay for cycling. However… I can’t cycle 😭😂 Nonetheless, he offered to cycle with me on the bike, which was honestly a little embarrassing but also very kind of him. He helped me take lots of photos and brou

Day 2 | Kunming → Dali 洱海海东(East Erhai) I took the high-speed rail from Kunming to Dali. Upon arrival, a private driver (booked via the same 包车 service on 携程) was already waiting at the train station and brought me around 洱海·海东 (East Erhai). I shared that I wanted to visit 圣托里尼 (Dali’s Santorini

After ending my 6-day Shenzhen–Guangzhou trip with my parents, they flew back to Singapore while I continued my journey solo to Yunnan. I spent 9 days traveling alone through Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang, before flying back to SG from Shenzhen on Day 10. I split this Yunnan's itinerary across
