The New York Botanical Garden was established on 250 acres in 1891. It is one of the most important botanical gardens in the United States.
The Botanical Garden features a diverse landscape that includes 50 gardens and plant collections, 50 acres of pristine forest, and a Victorian-style greenhouse with a dense rainforest.

A number of netizens reported that when their ICBC Platinum Multi-Currency MasterCard credit card failed to complete a transaction at a New York City subway ticket machine, they immediately received a reminder SMS from ICBC asking them to reply to the SMS within 10 minutes to unlock the machine.
 
Faced with this situation, some netizens decided to switch to another bank's foreign currency credit card for the transaction and successfully completed the ticket purchase or top-up.
Some netizens had to abandon the ticket purchase or account recharge because they did not have another foreign currency credit card.
 
Some netizens have already complained to ICBC's credit card customer service, asking them to change the blacklist of related multi-currency credit cards and remove the New York Metro ticket machines from the blacklist. We will keep an eye on what happens next.
 
As a reminder: Currently, you can use your credit card to enter the station and the fare will be charged directly to your credit card.

長居海外，偶爾也要回去看看。要麽旅游觀光，要麽探親訪友。手機是現代人類的日常用品，離開手機很多事情都辦不了。更別説工作上、生意上的必要聯絡。海外手機回到中國大陸，開通國際漫游只是使用方式的一種。特點是資費相對昂貴。也有一些運營商的手機套餐本身就包括一定數量的國際漫游，這些套餐的國際漫游資費也就沒那麽昂貴。
 
爲什麽開通國際漫游只是一種方式，還有其他方式嗎？
答案是肯定的。那就是Wi-Fi Calling 。海外的很多手機運營商都是支持Wi-Fi Calling。
那麽Wi-Fi Calling中國大陸的運營商會支持嗎？這個問題沒有官方答案。因爲運營商不會告訴你。
 
經實地使用，從海外帶回去的手機，在中國移動和中國聯通的網路上，都可以使用Wi-Fi Calling。
 
去年，中國移動的網絡（包括手機網路和寬帶網路）不能使用Wi-Fi Calling。其實，也不是真的不能使用，你簡單改一個手機裏的參數，馬上就能用了。（如果你想知道，可以私信作者。）中國電信的網路也是類似情況。
 
在中國大陸使用Wi-Fi Calling，就跟在海外沒有什么區別，接聽和撥出電話都隨意，如同在海外時的日常。
 
如果你的手機是iPhone 系列，建議使用FaceTime語音/視頻和iMessage。因爲iPhone系列的FaceTime語音/視頻和iMessage都是端到端的加密，隱私性比Wi-Fi Caling和手機的國際漫游都要好很多，任何第三方都不知道通訊的具體内容。
 
 
Wi-Fi Caling和手機的國際漫游的畢竟都要以常規方式經過當地運營商的網路系統。
 
（中國大陸的居民用不了FaceTime語音，是因爲在中國大陸銷售的iPhone系列的行貨手機，這個功能消失了。）
 
上述的討論，只是匹配普通人的要求。如果你的職業有一定的敏感度，你回中國大陸只能携帶白板手機了，那是另外一個話題。

When I live abroad, I have to go back from time to time. Either for sightseeing or to visit friends and family. A mobile phone is a daily necessity for modern people and there are many things that cannot be done without it. Not to mention keeping in touch with work and business contacts. Overseas mobile phone back to China, open international roaming is just one way to use. The catch is the relatively high cost of the mobile phone. There are some operators whose mobile phone packages include a certain amount of international roaming, and the international roaming rates for these packages are not as expensive.
 
Why is international roaming only one way and what are the other ways?
The answer is yes. It's called Wi-Fi calling. Many overseas mobile operators support Wi-Fi Calling.
Does Wi-Fi Calling support Chinese operators? There is no official answer. Carriers won't tell you.
 
In the real world, phones brought back from overseas can use Wi-Fi Calling on both China Mobile and China Unicom networks.
Last year, China Mobile's network (including the mobile network and the broadband network) could not use Wi-Fi Calling; in fact, it is not really impossible to use, you can simply change a parameter in the mobile phone and you can use it right away. (If you want to know, send a private message to the author.) China Telecom's network is in a similar situation.
 
Using Wi-Fi Calling in mainland China is no different to calling overseas. You can make and receive calls as you wish, just like when you're abroad.
 
If you have an iPhone, we recommend that you use FaceTime voice/video and iMessage because FaceTime voice/video and iMessage on iPhone are encrypted end-to-end and are much more private than Wi-Fi calling or international roaming on your phone, and no third party will know the exact content of the communication. Wi-Fi calling and international roaming on mobile phones Wi-Fi calling and international roaming on mobile phones still have to go through the local operator's network system in the usual way.
(Mainland China residents can't use FaceTime voice because the feature has been removed from the iPhone range of licensed handsets sold in mainland China).
 
The above discussion only covers the needs of the average person. If you have a sensitive job, you can only take a whiteboard mobile phone back to China, but that's another story.

溫德姆酒店在泰國的檔次，與在中國大陸類似，似乎是一個中端品牌。同等檔次的酒店，服務質量比在中國大陸的要好得多。對於鑽石會員，基本可以升套房，但對套房的期望不要太高，可能是端頭房；沒見到過“歡迎水果”；免費早餐不會主動提供，如果你要求，基本都會送。曼谷的溫德姆酒店的位置不錯，交通、商場、飲食、都非常方便。各個溫德姆酒店有自己的官網，在訂房環節，會跳轉到溫德姆官網。

有一個經驗，泰國的溫德姆一定要通過官網提前預定，提前預定的價格要便宜一些。似乎溫德姆酒店的生意都不錯，每天的價格都不相同，周末更貴一些。

Wyndham hotels in Thailand are of a similar class to those in mainland China and appear to be a mid-market brand. The quality of service is much better than in mainland China for a hotel of the same class. For Diamond members, you can basically upgrade to a suite, but do not expect too much from the suite, it may be the end room; I have not seen the "welcome fruit"; free breakfast is not actively provided, if you ask, basically will be sent. Wyndham hotels in Bangkok are located in a good place, transportation, shopping malls, food and beverage, are very convenient. Each Wyndham hotel has its own official website, in the booking section, will jump to the Wyndham official website.

One experience, Wyndham Thailand must be booked in advance through the official website, and the price is cheaper if booked in advance. It seems that Wyndham hotels are doing good business, the price is different every day and more expensive on weekends.

雖然溫德姆在中國大陸給人的印象，是一個中端品牌。但在美國，讓人覺得溫德姆旗下的酒店普遍檔次不高。據説溫德姆在全球有9300多家酒店，溫德姆獎賞計畫全球擁有112 億遊客。溫德姆的點數可以兌換房間，但不贈送早餐。但在現實中，有些地區的大部分溫德姆還是可以贈送早餐的，例如中國大陸。

雖然，網路上充斥大量聲稱Google Fi在中國大陸已經不能使用。或者大談只能使用3個月（90天）規則。本文不談Google Fi的獲得、激活的内容。僅僅討論已經正常使用的Google Fi 在中國大陸的正常使用。

作爲一款後付費的手機卡，Google Fi目前對於在中國大陸的漫游用戶非常警惕，這一態勢是由於前幾年，中國大陸的用戶用各種方式拿到Google Fi后，部分用戶有大量的濫用流量和逃費現象。所以，今天的情況確實也不能怪Google Fi本身。

在中國大陸使用Google Fi 是可以長期漫游的，但必須注意一下幾點：
一、 不能持續使用，中間一定要暫時停機，具體怎麽做，用過Google Fi 都知道。一般不要超過一個月，先停機一段時間，然後可以繼續使用。
二、 在中國大陸使用Google Fi 的流量要節制，不要使用Google Fi的數據卡。
三、 Google Fi 自身帶有免費的VPN，但啓動這個VPN必須是使用Google Fi的流量。啓動后是否使用Google Fi的流量，則沒有限制。

特別提醒，不要跟Google 耍心眼。在中國大陸用VPN之類的小伎倆，Google怎么可能不會察覺。而且，一旦進入黑名單，會持續很長時間。

Although the internet is full of claims that Google Fi is no longer available in China. Or they talk about the 3 months (90 days) rule. In this article, we will not talk about the content of Google Fi purchase and activation. We will only discuss the normal use of Google Fi in mainland China.

As a postpaid mobile phone card, Google Fi is currently very attentive to roaming users in mainland China, this situation is due to the previous years, users in mainland China in various ways to get Google Fi, some users have a lot of abuse of traffic and bill evasion phenomenon. Therefore, Google Fi itself can't be blamed for today's situation.

You can use Google Fi in mainland China for long-term roaming, but you must pay attention to the following points:
First, can not continue to use, in the middle must be temporarily suspended, how to do, used Google Fi know. Generally not more than a month, first stop for a period of time, and then can continue to use.
Second, in mainland China to use Google Fi traffic control, do not use Google Fi data card.
Google Fi has its own free VPN, but to start this VPN, you need to use Google Fi traffic. There is no restriction on using Google Fi traffic after activation.

Special reminder, don't play games with Google. If you use the VPN in China, Google will not notice. Also, once you are blacklisted, you will remain blacklisted for a long time.

標題裏的快速，指的是秒批。也許你認爲不可能。讀完本文你就會改變觀點。

首先，你需要知道，工商銀行的信用卡都是系統審批，所謂可以找理財經理/支行長推薦可以提高通過的幾率，都是工商銀行基層工作人員的營銷話術，沒有任何作用。

其次，你需要具備基本條件。包括但不限於：你不能是個體工商戶；你應該在申請地有城鎮職工社保（包括靈活就業人員社保）；你應該在申請地有工作單位（包括曾經有工作單位）；你應該在申請地有公積金賬戶（包括曾經有公積金賬戶）；你應該在國内其他的銀行有白金級別信用卡；你的徵信記錄正常（曾經偶爾有過信用卡小額還款逾期數天不算）；你應該在申請地的工商銀行有存款賬戶/借記卡。

如果你已經具備上述條件。現在進行下一步，從本人名下的銀行存款中，划100萬人民幣到申請地的工商銀行賬戶/借記卡。然後，購買一個保本及可以隨時退出的存款產品，例如，工商銀行的存款產品“節節高”。這時，你可以進行最後一步，通過工商銀行的網上銀行/手機應用“E生活”/手機銀行申請某款白金信用卡。秒批。

如果你曾經在工商銀行辦理過信用卡，無論是已經注銷還是在正常使用，無論論信用卡是什麽等級。如果你上述申請被拒，你要立即去信用卡中心（省會所在城市都有）請人查詢你的信用卡記錄。因爲信用卡用卡記錄是一個非常非常重要的因素，即使你的信用卡已經被注銷，也會有類似幾分錢的餘額未消的問題，導致系統審批通不過。

儅你收到申請的白金信用卡（一般需時一周），就到工商銀行網點當面激活。這時，你可以當場把前面100萬人民幣的存款產品（例如工商銀行的“節節高”）退回原先的存款賬戶，甚至可以劃轉到國内的其他銀行。工商銀行是國内四大行之首，你劃走這點錢，一般是不會在意的。

Fast in the title means second approval. You may think it's impossible. After reading this article, you will change your mind.

First of all, you need to know, industrial and commercial bank credit cards are systematic approval, the so-called financial manager / branch manager can be recommended to improve the chances of passing, are industrial and commercial bank grassroots staff of marketing jargon, there is no role.

Second, you must have the basic conditions. These include but are not limited to: you can't be a sole proprietor; you should have a social security system for urban workers in the place of application (including a social security system for flexible workers); you should have a work unit in the place of application (including a former work unit); you should have a provident fund account in the place of application (including a former provident fund account); you should have a platinum credit card with a bank in China; you should have a normal credit record (there have been occasional cases); and you should be a good employer. You should have a deposit account/debit card with ICBC in the country where you are applying.

If you already meet the above criteria. Proceed to the next step, transfer RMB 1,000,000 from your bank account to the ICBC account/debit card in the place of application. Then purchase a capital protected deposit product that can be withdrawn at any time, such as ICBC's "Save High" deposit product. At this point, you can proceed to the final step of applying for a Platinum Credit Card via ICBC's online banking/mobile application "E-Life"/mobile banking. Approved in seconds.

If you have ever applied for a credit card with ICBC, whether it has been cancelled or is still in use, regardless of the credit card's rating, if your application is rejected, you should immediately go to a credit card centre (in all provincial capitals) and ask someone to check your credit card history. Because credit card history is a very, very important factor, even if your credit card has been cancelled, there may be a problem like a few cents on the balance that can cause the system to fail.

When you receive your Platinum Credit Card (usually takes a week), go to the ICBC website to activate it in person. At this point, you can return the previous RMB 1 million deposit product (e.g. ICBC's Rise and Shine) to your original deposit account on the spot, or even transfer it to another bank in China. ICBC is the largest of the four major banks in China, so it usually doesn't matter if you transfer this amount.

不清楚什麽原因，阿拉斯加的機場上，只見阿拉斯加航空的飛機。這個指的是民航客機。阿拉斯加本地有繁忙的軍用機場，遠處可依稀看到機場上空各種軍機不斷起飛和降落。

阿拉斯加航空是北美第五大航空公司，總部位於華盛頓州的西雅圖。截至 2024 年，以定期客運量計算， 阿拉斯加航空與其地區合作夥伴地平線航空和天西航空共同營運的航線網絡主要致力於將美國西海岸沿線城市（包括阿拉斯加和夏威夷的100多個目的地 ）連接至美國本土、巴哈馬 、伯利茲 、加拿大 、哥斯達黎加 、危地馬拉和墨西哥 。

阿拉斯加遠離美國本土。從紐約飛往阿拉斯加，空中時間竟需要九個半小時。
