Brazil - São Paulo🌆

As the largest city in South America, São Paulo is almost the "first stop" for international flights arriving in Brazil. There are quite a few delicious restaurants hidden here, and we stayed for three days, wandering slowly and eating to our hearts' content～ Day 1: The Artsy Vila Madalena On the first day, we mainly stayed in the Vila Madalena district, which is full of artistic vibes—there are graffiti everywhere on the streets, and many small vendors selling handicrafts by the roadside. It's so fun to wander around😉. The most famous spot is definitely Batman Alley. The walls are covered with all kinds of bright graffiti, and you can take "Instagram-worthy photos" wherever you stand📸. There's also a bakery called Villa Grano in the district that many people recommend. It sells all kinds of local specialty breads. Buying a freshly baked one and holding it in your hand, it's warm and super fragrant～🙌🙌 I heard that Praca Benedito Calixto has a market every Saturday, but we went during Carnival and didn't get to see it. What a little pity～🫨🫨 Day 2: Relaxation in Park, Museum and Commercial Street On the second day, we first headed to Ibirapuera Park! You can rent a tandam bike here and wander slowly. Along the way, you can always see handsome guys and beautiful girls with great figures running. The sun shines on the lawn, and the scene is so healing☀️. Next to the park is the MAC USP museum. After visiting the exhibition, you can go to the café on the top floor to rest—drinking coffee and looking at the scenery outside the window, it's so comfortable that you don't want to move～ The hotel we stayed in is on Paulista Avenue. This street is super lively: there are piles of large shopping malls and restaurants, and many street performers are performing. Every Sunday, the road is closed to traffic and becomes a pedestrian street several kilometers long, making it more comfortable to wander～ MASP (Museum of Art of São Paulo) is also on this street! There's an antique and art market under the museum every Sunday, and you can find many unique small items. Don't miss it if you like visiting markets)～🤩🤩🤩 Day 3: The Contrast Between Downtown and Japantown On the last day, we wandered downtown: Metropolitan Cathedral is architecturally stunning. The Gothic spires pierce the sky, and you can't help but look up when you go inside～ Mosteiro de São Paulo was closed when we went, so we could only take a photo at the door as a souvenir😮‍💨 Mercado Municipal is a must-visit! It's filled with local fruits and special snacks. The most famous ones are Mortadella sandwiches and Caipirinha cocktails . Taking a bite of the sandwich and sipping the wine, it's amazing～🤩🤩 In the end, we had nothing to do and went to Liberdade (Japantown). There were so many people that it was almost "impossible to walk"—it's indeed known as the "largest Japanese community outside Japan"! The streets are full of Japanese restaurants and Japanese grocery stores. For a moment, I even thought I was in Tokyo～🙂🙂🙂 #BrazilTravel
