Hey everyone! Today, I have to share my travel guide to Leeds, UK. This gem of a city is truly fun and exciting to explore. Save this post now! 👇

🏨Hotel Recommendation: Holiday Inn Leeds City Centre
This hotel is right in the city center, with an excellent location. Just a few steps outside, and you're ready to explore and indulge. Prices range from GBP 100–200 per night, offering superb value. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-equipped, perfect for both business trips and leisure vacations.

🍱Food Recommendations:
The Reliance: This is a super popular local restaurant. Their signature dish, Beef Wellington, features golden-brown, crispy pastry and tender, juicy beef. One bite, and you'll be hooked! The average cost is around GBP 50–80.
Korean Kitchen: If you're craving Korean food, don't miss this place. Their Budae Jjigae (Army Stew) is loaded with ingredients, and the ramen noodles are coated in a rich broth. You'll fall in love with the first bite! It costs around GBP 30–50 per person.
Shears Yard: This place has a super stylish atmosphere. I recommend the barbecued pork ribs. The sweet sauce paired with the tender meat is divine! The average cost is around GBP 40–60.

🎡Attraction Recommendations:
Leeds Castle: Known as "the loveliest castle in the world," tickets are around GBP 25. Opening hours are 10:00 am–5:00 pm. The highlight is the castle's location in the middle of a lake, surrounded by beautiful gardens. I recommend spending a full day here to leisurely enjoy the castle experience.
Royal Armouries Museum: Free admission! Opening hours are 10:00 am–5:00 pm (closed on Mondays). The museum houses a vast collection of weapons and armor, and there are interactive areas too. Set aside at least 3–4 hours to soak in the charm of military history.
The Leeds Shopping Area: Open all day, this is a shopper's paradise. Briggate Street and Victoria Gate Shopping Centre are fantastic places to explore. Set aside a good half-day to indulge in some retail therapy!
