◆ 0 6 / 1 3 ◆ ◆ Happy Birthday, Yuqi◆ Youth rushes past in a blur. We wandered the thin line between where we were and where we longed to be, certain that every true journey had to lead somewhere far away. Yet even the most familiar city hides unnamed destinations waiting to be discovered. For this issue, travel and lifestyle magazine *MONSOON* teams up with special guides, each sharing a unique 24-hour city escape. No time zones to cross. No distant horizons to chase. Instead, we rediscover the overlooked corners of everyday life—the streets we pass each day, forgotten patches of green, and storefront windows dappled with afternoon light. Sometimes, a whole new world awaits at the end of the same subway line. ## Special Guide of the Issue ■ Yuqi ### Destination Beside the pier stands a Moonlit Art Museum, a former industrial warehouse transformed into one of Hailin's most recognizable cultural landmarks. Yuqi seems equally fascinated by the building itself, besides the exhibitions. His attention lingers on the exposed steel beams and weathered red brick walls, as though the city's industrial past speaks to him just as loudly as the art within. ### Wardrobe To everyone's surprise, Yuqi arrived in a casual streetwear look. Though each piece comes from a different brand, a consistent color palette ties the outfit together, showing a carefully considered sense of style. Add in the impressive collection of accessories. We've all underestimated the fashion instincts of the Craftisans. ### Taste Coordinates As one of Hailin's historic trading ports, this district once attracted many industrial workers. The area's food culture still reflects those roots today: hearty portions, bold flavors, and quick, satisfying meals. Following Yuqi through the nearby snack streets is an experience in itself. Watching him eat one calorie-packed specialty after another is strangely impressive. ### Exclusive Note Beyond exhibition merchandise, the museum shop also offers a collection inspired by the district's industrial heritage: metal bookmarks with a rusted finish, refrigerator magnets modeled after worker ID tags, and tote bags printed with old factory blueprints. To Yuqi, these keepsakes may be every bit as valuable as the artworks themselves. #AshEchoes #AshEchoesEN

◆ 0 6 / 1 1 ◆ ◆ Happy Birthday, Su Xiao◆ Youth rushes past in a blur. We wandered the thin line between where we were and where we longed to be, certain that every true journey had to lead somewhere far away. Yet even the most familiar city hides unnamed destinations waiting to be discovered. For this issue, travel and lifestyle magazine *MONSOON* teams up with special guides, each sharing a unique 24-hour city escape. No time zones to cross. No distant horizons to chase. Instead, we rediscover the overlooked corners of everyday life—the streets we pass each day, forgotten patches of green, and storefront windows dappled with afternoon light. Sometimes, a whole new world awaits at the end of the same subway line. ## Special Guide of the Issue ■ Su Xiao ### Destination Today's destination is Deerleaf Center in the Ilex. While most visitors come for the luxury boutiques and fashion brands, Su Xiao is here for a glass greenhouse hidden on the fifth-floor terrace. Floating above the busy shopping center, the greenhouse feels like a little island in the sky. No matter how lively the crowds below may be, sunlight still pours through the glass roof, bringing a sense of calm and nature to the space. ### Wardrobe Su Xiao's checked cotton dress creates a light and sweet look, while the fitted silhouette keeps it neat and stylish. Paired with her bright hair color, the outfit makes her stand out easily. In fact, a promotional staff member spotted her almost immediately and handed her a set of accessories—the ribbon and wings she's wearing now. ### Taste Coordinates Before arriving at Deerleaf Center, Su Xiao had already ordered lime tea for her friends. Refreshing, lightly sweet, and perfect for an early summer afternoon, it's the kind of drink that instantly lifts people's spirits. It feels just like Su Xiao herself—fresh, bright, and thoughtfully considerate. ### Exclusive Note Deerleaf Center is a pet-friendly mall. Alongside the usual dogs and cats, visitors may even spot more unusual companions like sugar gliders. Even spending a quiet afternoon in the seating area can turn into an unexpectedly delightful experience. #AshEchoes #AshEchoesEN

◆ 0 6 / 0 6 ◆ ◆ Happy Birthday, Leilani ◆ Youth rushes past in a blur. We wandered the thin line between where we were and where we longed to be, certain that every true journey had to lead somewhere far away. Yet even the most familiar city hides unnamed destinations waiting to be discovered. For this issue, travel and lifestyle magazine *MONSOON* teams up with special guides, each sharing a unique 24-hour city escape. No time zones to cross. No distant horizons to chase. Instead, we rediscover the overlooked corners of everyday life—the streets we pass each day, forgotten patches of green, and storefront windows dappled with afternoon light. Sometimes, a whole new world awaits at the end of the same subway line. ## Special Guide of the Issue Leilani ### Destination Leilani knew exactly where she wanted to go from the start: Gold Coast Adventure Park. Maybe everyone carries a long-overdue ticket in their heart, waiting for the chance to give their younger self the summer they once dreamed of—one filled with carousel rides and the scent of cotton candy. ### Wardrobe Leilani chose a bright spaghetti-strap dress for the trip. The lightweight cotton-linen fabric is perfect for early summer, while lace-up flat sandals keep her comfortable throughout the day. A ribbon in her hair adds the finishing touch, matching the park’s colorful atmosphere perfectly. ### Taste Coordinates A full sit-down meal somehow feels out of place in an amusement park. The rituals of tables, cutlery, and courses sit in curious contrast to roller coasters, daydreams, and storybook castles. Leilani’s answer is simple: a passion fruit slush from one of the carts in the central plaza. ### Exclusive Note Near Exit 3, the park has set up a free summer flower workshop. Visitors can make flower bracelets or tiny flower crowns for their plush toys using seasonal blooms. A staff member noticed Leilani stopping by and even made her a floral hair accessory to match her dress. Perhaps it's this kind of warmth that makes the event so popular, even though it isn't marked on the park map. #AshEchoes #AshEchoesEN

◆ 0 6 / 0 1 ◆ ◆ Happy Birthday, Felicio ◆ Youth rushes past in a blur. We wandered the thin line between where we were and where we longed to be, certain that every true journey had to lead somewhere far away. Yet even the most familiar city hides unnamed destinations waiting to be discovered. For this issue, travel and lifestyle magazine *MONSOON* teams up with special guides, each sharing a unique 24-hour city escape. No time zones to cross. No distant horizons to chase. Instead, we rediscover the overlooked corners of everyday life—the streets we pass each day, forgotten patches of green, and storefront windows dappled with afternoon light. Sometimes, a whole new world awaits at the end of the same subway line. ### Special Guide of the Issue ■ Felicio ### Destination Tucked away on the underground level of Garland Mall, the arcade resembles a modern labyrinth hidden beneath the city's commercial bustle. Without hesitation, Felicio makes a beeline for the rows of claw machines. His adventure has already begun. ### Wardrobe While new trend brands chase fleeting styles, a new consensus is quietly shaping among the youth: using a single sportswear brand to build one color-coordinated fashion framework. From his outfit and sneakers to his backpack, every piece Felicio wears comes from SE's latest summer collection. Retro-inspired silhouettes meet everyday comfort, while carefully placed pops of color add a touch of unmistakable personality. ### Taste Coordinates Amid the constant electronic jingles and flashing lights of the arcade, Felicio's recommended snack bar is easy to miss. Yet this understated corner hides the most surprising discovery of the trip: an unexpectedly authentic spicy taco combo. One note for first-time visitors—the set meal comes with an energy drink by default, though staff can happily swap it for a regular soda upon request. ### Exclusive Note For newcomers and casual players alike, the quirky collectible keychains redeemable with only a small number of game credits make for the perfect souvenir. Then again, even seasoned regulars like Felicio can't seem to resist them. One glance at his backpack is proof enough. #AshEchoes #AshEchoesEN
