Features: True "pleasure" is not fleeting sensory indulgence or the accumulation of money or status, but requires serious exploration, deep accumulation, time, and effort to genuinely and enduringly feel joy and delight in every sense—visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile—in Yilan's case, each time seems like a completed creative process. Looking back at the past and forward to the future, she is filled with countless satisfactions and reflections. Unlike her first book, Yilan's Happiness Grocery, and the second book, Playing with Flavors, in Pleasure: The Completed Art of Travel, Yilan wants to convey a profound and focused attitude and realm of travel pleasure—one that requires serious study, savoring, and appreciation. Hotels & Food are the two chosen paths and mediums for Yilan to reach the highest state of pleasure in this book. It's worth mentioning that the book includes hundreds of images, all carefully collected and captured by Yilan during her travels. For the first time, she has presented her two equally beloved creative forms—writing and photography—in nearly equal proportions to the public.
