Fun fact for #matcha fans: It’s actually an 800-year-old Chinese trend. 🍵 Song Dynasty (960-1279) tea masters invented Dian Cha (點茶)—the OG whisked powdered tea that inspired Japan’s matcha ceremony. Every sip is a taste of history 🍵

#Quanzhou, once the “emporium of the world” in 11th-century China, is now UNESCO’s “City of Gastronomy”! Trace the history + treat your taste buds, all in one place. And don’t miss my personal favourite: noodle paste with a crispy Deep-Fried Devil (油条）. #ChineseHeritage 19/60

A true dreamscape here at Shanghai Jiaotong University. At the Uni’s “Leaf, yes!” exhibition, the entire gallery floor shimmers with a sea of golden ginkgo leaves—bringing the soul of autumn indoors. Don’t let this fleeting beauty pass you by. @sjtu1896

Autumn’s transformation is pure magic. Carpeted in golden ginkgo leaves, #Beijing unfolds like a fairy tale. Watch the children laugh and puppies leap, and who could resist a vibe so alive?

The #GreatWall, once built to guard the realm, is now preserved by visitors from around the world. And the massive bricks? No longer carried by hand—today, drones lift them skyward. The builders of the Great Wall would surely marvel. #TechMeetsHistory

30-minute countdown to the opening of the 15th National Games in #Guangzhou. The performers are getting ready!

National Games are being held for the first time in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area! The mascot? A pair of white dolphins, “the pandas of the sea” beloved for their deep family bonds. It’s the same symbol that celebrated Hong Kong’s return in 1997.
