Explore Merida: Mexico's Hidden Treasure City

Merida exudes a unique charm on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Architectural treasures from the colonial period are scattered throughout the city. Walls in bright colors such as orange, light pink, and azure blue complement each other in the sunlight, and paired with wrought iron carved doors and windows, they are exquisite and romantic. Strolling along the ancient cobblestone road, every step echoes the footsteps of history.

The Central Square embodies the vitality of the city, with street performers igniting the atmosphere with passionate Latin music and unrestrained dancing. Around the square, the aroma of delicious food fills the air. Take a bite of the tortilla, and the tender grilled meat and the fragrant sauce collide on the tip of your tongue; take a bite of the ceviche, the tenderness of the fish mixed with the refreshing sour orange is endless aftertaste.

Merida is also a great starting point for exploring Mayan civilization, with the world-famous Chichen Itza ruins just a stone’s throw away. The ancient pyramids and mysterious observatories carry a rich history, waiting for tourists to uncover dusty memories and embark on a soul-stirring cultural journey.
