Here’s the translated and polished version of your Richmond travel exp

🇺🇸 Richmond, VA | Sunny & Serene Spring Getaway ☀️ Richmond is so peaceful under the sun — quiet streets, fewer crowds, just pure relaxation. Day 1️⃣: Shop ‘Til You Drop 🛍️ We visited Short Pump Town Center — a beautiful mall with a great selection of stores 👗👠. Even if you’re not buying, it’s perfect for a stroll and some photos! 📸 Day 2️⃣: Art + (A Bit of) Nature 🖼️🌿 Morning: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts 🏛️ Free general admission! Galleries from East Asia, the Americas, Africa, and more. There was a special paid exhibit on Native American art ($10, discount for students). Loved the sculpture garden and creek behind the museum — sat on a bench and soaked up the sun 🌞💚 Afternoon: James River & Canal Walk 🚶‍♂️ Honestly… a letdown 😅 Maybe because it was dry season (March-April), but the river was muddy and not pretty. Canal Walk felt like strolling next to a drainage ditch — no cool murals or photo spots. Not worth the hype! Day 3️⃣: Sightseeing & Strolling 🏛️🌸 Virginia State Capitol – Beautiful building with historic statues and a grand square. Carytown – A cute walkable street with unique boutiques and cafés 🧃☕ 🍽️ Food & Drinks – Highly Recommended! ✅ Cheng Du Chinese Restaurant – Authentic Sichuan cuisine. Everyone loved it! 🌶️🥢 ✅ Full Kee – Cantonese dim sum & dishes. Small portions but tasty. ~$30 per person. ✅ Kanpai Japanese Steak & Sushi – Entertaining chefs 🍣, huge entrees, ~$40 per person. ✅ Les Crépes Bar & Restaurant – Sweet & savory crêpes. Try the lobster & crab one (but share—it’s rich!) 🦞🧇 ✅ Native Plate – Downtown Southeast Asian gem! Duck Bao Bun and Coconut Rice Pudding are MUST-TRIES 🦆🍚✨ – and the vibe is chic! #Richmond #Virginia #SpringBreak #ShortTrip #TravelDiary #FoodieAdventure #ArtAndCulture
