🏞️ 2025 Dragon Boat Festival — Our First Family Road Trip

This Dragon Boat Festival marked a special milestone for our family — our very first self-driving trip. The sense of freedom, the flexibility to explore on a whim, and simply being on the road together made it an experience to remember.

Our original plan was just to visit Yanqing for the Soda Music Festival, but the rest of the journey unfolded naturally, one stop at a time. We discovered that renting a good car and choosing cozy accommodations played a huge role in making the whole trip relaxing and fun.

There’s something deeply joyful about traveling with the ones you love — no rush, no pressure, just shared moments and open roads. 🌿🚗

Sometimes, the best trips are the ones not planned to the last detail.
Just a good car, a few comfy nights, and the company of those who matter most.
