🇺🇸 Salt Lake City 🏔️

After leaving Arches National Park, we drove north all the way to Salt Lake City. There aren’t many must-see attractions here, but we visited ⭐️ Stansbury Bay, a popular photo spot (requires 20 minutes on a gravel road). The view was just okay, but since we were already in Salt Lake City, we thought why not give it a shot? 😄 In the evening, we went to ​​Ensign Peak Preserve​​ to watch the sunset and managed to capture some satisfying photos. 📸🌅 Accommodation in Salt Lake City was the cheapest I’ve experienced in the U.S.—we stayed three nights at the DoubleTree Hilton near the airport for around ¥800 per night. The ducks in the hotel’s lake were completely fearless around people! 🦆❤️ Salt Lake City has deep historical roots, especially tied to the construction of the transcontinental railroad, which attracted many Chinese immigrants back in the day. We visited Chinatown and tried ​​Hero Hot Pot​​ (26peradult,16 per child)—it was decent! 🥢 The next day, we gave Yunnan Rice Noodles a try. It was emotional for me seeing it since I used to live in Yunnan, China—but the taste was just average. Still, when you’re abroad, you learn not to be too picky. It filled our stomachs, and that’s what mattered. 🍜✨ #SaltLakeCity #UtahTravel #EnsignPeak #SunsetViews #BudgetTravel #HistoricTowns #ChinatownVibes #HotPotLove #TravelEats #ScenicSpots #PhotoDiary #Wanderlust #ExploreUSA #HiddenGems
