🌅 8:30 AM | Depart from Jakarta: Step into the “Moving Scenic Platform”
Station: Gambir Station → Bandung Station (3️⃣ hours)
Recommended Train: Argo Parahyangan Panoramic Train (Look for the “Panoramic” sign when purchasing tickets!

)
● Carriage Experience: A luxurious panoramic carriage with 38 seats and oversized viewing windows! The rice fields, villages, and mountains of Java pass by like a movie, with sunlight streaming through the automatic skylight into the carriage, making every photo a masterpiece 📸. The seats can be adjusted up to 30°, and free snacks, drinks, and WiFi are provided.

The attendants will even take photos for you at scenic spots, their service is so touching 🥰🥰🥰.
● Ticket Price: 400,000 IDR (about ¥200), buy tickets in advance on the official website or at the station.
✨ Tips: The specific booking steps are at the end of the images, please save them yourself ✌✌

🕐 1:00 PM | SPA Healing: Ultimate Relaxation at Sendji, a Popular Spot in Bandung
● Booking Method: Google Maps + WhatsApp in advance
● Experience: The therapist’s touch is gentle, with essential oil massage + foot reflexology, followed by a unique herbal pack applied to the whole body, wrapped like a mummy, allowing the body to naturally warm up (boreh).

It’s incredibly comfortable 😻😻😻, instantly sweeping away fatigue. Afterward, have a cup of ginger tea, and feel completely refreshed 💆♀️!

🎬 3:50 PM | Lie Down at CGV Cinema: 23 Paskal Shopping Center
Movie: “Captain America 4” in Gold Class
● Ticket Price: 150k IDR (75 RMB, great value for money!)
● Experience: Comparable to first-class!

Electric sofas that can recline, blankets + snack trays + dedicated service bell. The sound effects are impressive but not jarring, the air conditioning is just right, and it feels like a private luxury screening ~
🛍️ Nearby Shopping and Dining: There’s a large food court outside the mall. As a Sichuan native, I highly recommend Golden Monkey Hotpot [色色R][色色R][色色R][色色R]
.

🌙 7:50 PM | Return via High-Speed Rail: Flash back to Jakarta in 46 minutes!
● Stations: Padalarang Station → Halim Station
● If you don’t look at the station signs, you might think you’re in China, as it’s almost identical to domestic high-speed rail, giving a strong sense of familiarity.
✨ Solo Travel Safety: There are frequent night services, the stations are well-lit and security checks are strict, making it perfectly safe for women traveling alone!

💡 Heartfelt Words for Expatriate Women
On my Nth weekend in a foreign land, I increasingly believe: solitude is the synonym for freedom.
– On Courage: Taking a train, getting a spa, watching a movie alone, is not “forced solitude,” but an “active choice.

– On Belonging: As you traverse the globe, step by step, you’ll discover that home isn’t just a physical place, but a sanctuary where your heart finds peace.
🌍 The world never fails to reward those who embrace it with open hearts. Let us always be the captains of our own destinies.
