Xingyi County, Guizhou. China.

  

They built a real paradise in the deep mountains!

This time, I came to Xingyi County in Guizhou. It’s a place surrounded by mountains, with almost no plains. But deep in the mountains, a group of ordinary people have built a beautiful homeland here, almost isolated from the outside world. It takes a 30-minute drive to reach the city.

They are the Bouyei people, an ethnic minority in China. They’ve lived here for centuries, and now, in order to make a living, they have partnered with the government to transform this place into a new scenic spot. The night lights are absolutely stunning.

If you come here, remember to rent a car. The surrounding scenery will definitely amaze you!

Nanjing, China

 

This is probably the most breathtaking Buddhist palace I’ve ever seen — Niushou Mountain! Hello everyone, today I’m in Nanjing, Jiangsu, a city rich in history and culture, which was the capital of many dynasties in ancient times. Through a friend’s recommendation, I visited Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, and I was truly stunned the first time I entered. I heard it cost 4 billion yuan to build, and it’s absolutely extravagant. I even wonder if the Buddha statues inside are made of gold?! To enter, you need to buy a ticket, which is about 90 yuan, but I think it’s well worth it. If you come to Nanjing, you definitely should visit here. Now, let’s take a look together.

Art Architecture ••• The Marisfrolg Headquarters!

Hello everyone! Today, I'm taking you on a tour of the most shocking building I've ever seen: the Marisfrolg Headquarters! It's located in Longhua District, Shenzhen. If I didn't tell you what this place was, would you think it's a museum? Haha, it's actually the headquarters of a clothing company! I'm truly speechless. I've heard it took fifteen years to build and cost 1 billion RMB! It's still not finished because they haven't met the owner's expectations. Wow, it's truly mind-blowing! Today happens to be a holiday in China, so there are no employees in the office, allowing us to visit. Come explore this architectural marvel with me!
