01. “The Happy Ferris Wheel”
▷ October 4, Hong Kong Central Port
✲ Author: Ma Fangting
The Ferris wheel is a landmark of the city, and also a symbol carrying countless romantic memories. Every rotation of the Ferris wheel represents the pursuit of happiness and hope, filling people’s hearts with warmth and emotion. Just as Eason Chan sings: “Staying on the Ferris wheel, enduring forever, looking up at the world flowing above, even in sorrow, one still smiles and cries.”
02. “Raising the Sky”
▷ October 7, by the Pearl River in Guangzhou
✲ Author: Wei Guoxiang
The Guangzhou Tower encountered during a morning run.
03. “It Will Be Beautiful After Daybreak”
▷ October 3 at 6:31, Cat Mountain top in Guilin, Guangxi
✲ Author: Dai Keying
“Everything is completely dark in front of me, I can’t see anything”
“Not exactly, it will be beautiful after daybreak”
No matter how dark it is ahead, the sun will still rise tomorrow, tomorrow is another day.
With the rising red sun, I wish everyone hope not to give up, the courage to break through difficulties, and the will not be defeated.
04. “Song of Southern Xinjiang: Ice and Fire, Strong and Beautiful”
More
▷ October 1–4
Kashgar Ancient City – Stone City / Jincaotan – Baisha Lake – Muztagh glacier – Panlong Ancient Path – Wakhan Corridor
✲ Author: Li Dingbang
After 4 months, we visit the beautiful Xinjiang again. Previously, we visited the Ili region filled with snowy mountains, grasslands, forests, and streams. This time, we wanted to go to Altai to get some attention, but the high prices made us turn to the more exotic Southern Xinjiang region. It turned out we were right.
As soon as we got off the plane, the whole city of Kashgar was filled with the smell of barbecue, providing the best comfort for meat lovers during the trip; the rich historical and cultural atmosphere of Kashgar Ancient City, walking in the ancient city, feels like experiencing a vibration that spans thousands of years. In the following days, we visited Jincaotan with its unique landscape, Baisha Lake with its emerald white sand, the ancient and mysterious Muztagh glacier, the Panlong Ancient Path with its 600+ bends for poverty alleviation, and the Wakhan Corridor bordering Afghanistan and the place where Xuanzang returned from his journey…
I think the meaning of traveling during National Day to the westernmost part of the country, visiting the national border and singing “Singing of the Motherland” with the Uyghur uncles, is not just about satisfying the taste and sight, but also about fighting together with the country in its magnificent mountains and rivers, adding to its civilization that has lasted for thousands of years with our youth and passion!
05. “I Am a Free Bird”
▷ October 3, Wanaika Lake; October 2, Tikapo Lake
✲ Author: Chen Luowei
This is a famous “lonely tree” in the town of Wanaika, New Zealand. But more than 100 kilometers away from it, I found another “lonely tree”. In the wilderness of New Zealand, you are not alone, you are the most free bird.
06. “Twilight and Cloud Sea”
▷ October 3 at 17:56 p.m., Bay of Thailand, Pattaya
✲ Author: Sha Yuchen
The sunset glow and dark clouds create a interesting contrast, and the sea reflects tiny silver specks. The small islands and mountains in the distance form a quiet barrier…
07. “By the Lake”
▷ October 4, New Zealand
✲ Author: Zhu Zhijiang
The lake by Queenstown, New Zealand, after the rain, becomes clear.
08. “Searching for My Own Film No. 25”
▷ October 7, Indonesia
✲ Author: Guo Zixuan
Three-day trip to Yogyakarta & Surakarta, Indonesia
Taking a leisurely city walk on Mario Piazza, graffiti, carriages, and local open-wheeled vehicles like dodo are everywhere.
First day morning: Borobudur is one of the largest Buddhist buildings in the world. It was once asleep under layers of volcanic ash, and many Buddha statues are now incomplete. To protect the building, everyone entering needs to wear straw sandals provided by the tourist area.
Second day morning: Semeru volcano, also known as the Indonesian version of Mount Fuji, without a snowy top, but it emits smoke rings, and the paddy fields at its base create a relaxed scene.
Second day afternoon: The final stop is finally at Bromo, the cover of the “lonely planet”. Instead, we choose to watch the sunset, without the risk of sunrise, the sunset at Bromo has a special flavor.
09. “A Trip to Russia: Encounter with Snow, Rainbow, and Aurora”
▷ October 1–6, St. Petersburg and Murmansk, Russia
✲ Author: Liu Dan
On National Day, going to Russia to chase the aurora, we encounter three beautiful scenes. At first, the snowflakes dance, the world is covered in white; then, the rainbow in the sky looks like a bridge, dazzling; and at night, the aurora is magnificent, like a dream. Each scene is a gift from nature, recording this luck, and remembering every emotion and surprise during the trip.
10. “First Encounter with a Sunset by the Sea”
▷ October 4, Yanji Village, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang Province, Guangdong (the southernmost point on the mainland)
✲ Author: Wang Huixia
It was our first encounter with a sunset by the sea, a beautiful scene given by nature. Golden light spreads over the sea, creating sparkling reflections. The sunset slowly sinks, and the sky is colored brilliantly. This stunning beauty makes us feel the greatness and mystery of nature, and leaves an unforgettable mark in our hearts.
11. “Looking Down at the Thousand Four Hundred Years”
▷ October 2, Yuanrong Temple, Jiaozuo, Henan Province
✲ Author: Gao Guoji
When tourists flood the Shanxi cultural tourism area, I accidentally found an ancient temple built in the Northern Qi Dynasty in my hometown. “Looking down” at the thousand Buddha pagoda from over 1400 years ago. Although it isn’t in “Black Myth: Wukong”, finding a more popular way to boost national pride, may we all find pride in what we see.
12. “Gradually Autumn”
▷ October 3, Shennongjia
✲ Author: Xiao Xian
Experiencing the autumn process that doesn’t exist in Guangzhou~~
13. “The Quiet Cape”
▷ October 6, Biaojiao, Shantou, Guangdong
✲ Author: Tan Qijiu
With the end of the holiday, a family of three from my university friends went to the nearby “Cape”. The clear blue sky and green sea complement each other, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.
14. “Bluish Water of Elephant Mountain Reflecting the Clear Sky”
▷ October 5, Elephant Mountain scenic area in Guilin
✲ Author: Tian Shuangli
I accidentally captured the quiet beauty below Elephant Mountain. The Li River, boats, Jiefang Bridge, and urban architecture complement each other. The opera house on the right side of the Li River looks like a garden of osmanthus flowers, and the distant karst mountains add a sense of distance. I love this part of Guilin.
15. “The Ordinary Path”
▷ October 5 evening, Yamen Highway
✲ Author: Luo Yunyu
The road may be long, but if you walk, you will reach the end. The task may be difficult, but if you do it, it will be accomplished. — Remembering the National Day holiday driving a hundred miles, finally reaching Yamen, one of the eight major exits of the Pearl River. In the evening on the highway, I encountered a gentle sunset and a crescent moon, grateful for this peaceful moment.
16. “At Sunset”
▷ October 7, Haizhu Lake, Guangzhou
✲ Author: Yang Li
A few days ago, I accidentally saw on Redmi Shouji that the sulfur flowers on Haizhu Lake have bloomed. Suddenly, I wanted to experience the golden romance of autumn. Unexpectedly, the sunset cast golden light on Haizhu Lake, the water sparkled, and a small boat just hit into the picture, creating the most beautiful sunset scene.
