🇺🇸 Traverse City｜A Hidden Gem in Michigan 🍒

From Shanghai to Tokyo, Chicago, and finally Traverse – after a 24-hour journey with two transfers and four customs checks, I arrived in this small Michigan town that even some Americans don’t know about! 🛬✈️ My first experience in the U.S. has been uniquely charming – it’s just as lovely as it looks on TV, even though I haven’t seen another Asian face here yet 😄 The downtown is small but cozy: 🍒 Cherry Republic is super fun to explore and shop at! 🍦 Moomers Ice Cream is delicious but very sweet (typical American style 😆). 🛍️ M22 is a cool local brand inspired by a scenic Michigan highway – definitely check it out! And the lakes… wow! 🌊 I only learned about the Great Lakes as a kid, but here, there are lakes everywhere – one after another, so calm and beautiful. #USA #TravelUSA #Michigan #TraverseCity #HiddenGems #LakeMichigan #FirstTimeInUS
