In the end, I decided to travel to Zhuhai.

5th

I set off in a ride-share early in the morning, thinking the 5th would be less crowded and the two-hour trip would be quick. I didn’t expect to board at eight and arrive at two in the afternoon, so I immediately bought a high-speed rail ticket for the return trip.

After checking into the hotel and unpacking, I went to the "Love Post Office" for photos. I have to say, National Day really draws a crowd—traffic jams on the road and people jams when I got there. Plus, the long ride left me dazed, so I basically just ate my way through the day.

6th & 7th

On the 6th, Chimelong’s hotel prices returned to normal, so I booked the "Yinghai Hotel Apartment": ¥1,200 for two park tickets, one night, and a breakfast buffet.

The hotel is about three or four kilometers from Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, but a free shuttle runs every thirty minutes, so getting there is no problem.

Before leaving, I bought a little bear keychain, a clown penguin commemorative coin, and a seal that can perch on your shoulder 🦭.

Time to go home and get back to work

Side note

WeChat recently added the ability to send Apple Live Photos, and the web can use Apple’s LivePhotosKit to implement it.

First, include the LivePhotosKit JS:

<script src="https://cdn.apple-livephotoskit.com/lpk/1/livephotoskit.js"></script>

Then create a <div> element:

<div
    data-live-photo
    data-photo-src="https://..."
    data-video-src="https://..."
    style="width: 320px; height: 320px">            
</div>

data-photo-src is the exported image, and data-video-src is the exported video.
