🔖Travel Tips:
✔️To take beautiful photos, it is important to keep warm! There is a temperature difference between morning and evening, so bring a jacket 🧥, which can also be used for sun protection!
✔️Tangyuan is not very big, so you can take your time to stroll around. It's been hot lately, so you can have lunch, rest until 3pm or 4pm, and then start taking photos.
✔️If you are tired of walking around, there are also various delicacies to enjoy. Tangyuan is really a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and having fun! I even had hot pot 🥘 here at night before continuing to enjoy the scenery.
