Wat Suthat: Quiet & Peaceful Gem in Bangkok ✨

#bangkok Wat Suthat is one of the oldest temples in Bangkok. It is among one of the high grade first class royal temples in Thailand. The main prayer hall displays the incarnations of Buddha. The Bronze Buddha sculpture in the hall dates back to the 13th century. I went in the afternoon and spent some hours there. Wat Suthat isn’t one of the popular tourist temples in the city. There was barely 8 visitors around. The atmosphere was very quiet & peaceful 🕊️ Pray in the prayer hall & meditate in the premises of the temple. 🎟️ - 100 baht for foreigners 👚 - Dress respectfully with shoulders & knees covered. 🚇- Nearest MRT is Sam Yot, then take a taxi 🚕 or tuk tuk 🛺 to the temple if you don’t want to walk. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Say hi on IG @katsights #temple #urbanexplorer #architecture #culturalattractions #culturalattraction #bangkoktravel #bangkoklife #thailandtravel #thailand

Niushoushan, or Niushou Mountain, with an altitude of 243m, is an emerging attraction in Jiangning District in the southern suburb of Nanjing city. Niushoushan is also known as “Ox Head Mountain” because its East Peak and West Peak face each other in the shape of the two horns of an ox. Niushoushan has long been forgotten by people until Oct 27, 2015 when the world’s only parietal relic of Buddha was put there. A grandiose Buddhism-themed palace was built to place the relic of Buddha. Since then, there have been more and more visitors coming to Niushoushan to worship the Buddha, experience Buddhism culture and marvel at its magnificent architecture. It is a place where both Buddhists and regular tourists can enjoy. If you are planning a trip to Nanjing, you shouldn’t miss it. Type: Mountains/ Buddhist Park Best Seasons: All year round Recommended visiting time: 2-4 hours Opening time: 9:00-17:30 #niushoushan #nanjingtravel #culturalattraction #unescoworldheritage #jiangsuprovince #chinalife

One of the activities to do in Hong Kong is to visit the religious complex located in Ngong Ping, on Lantau Island, where you can enjoy the great Tian Tan Buddha and the various temples that surround the entire compound. You can get to the place whether by cable car, by bus, or even if you dare you can do it by foot or by bicycle.

The Little Streets Along North Bridge Road

There are many shop houses located along North Bridge Road starting from Arab Streets where there are many shops selling many colourful textile and clothings, traditional middle Eastern restaurants that are owned by middle Eastern people themselves, the many small little cafes even from dessert cafes to just coffee and the standard western ones. Also, you will also be able to see the beautifully built sultan mosque located in between of muscat Street and South Bridge Road. Although visitors are not allowed to enter the mosque for phototaking, there are several picturesque spot to take photo of the mosque within one of the street. My recommendation is to head towards Jalan Pisang Road which is directly perpendicular to the mosque, giving it an amazing shot. #moreinsg #mosque #kampongglam #malayheritage #heritage #singapore #urbanexplorer #mustvisit #culturalattraction #culturalheritage

It was a dreamy long weekend. 100% recommend! #culturalattraction#staycation

Strasbourg is about enjoying a simple, elegant lifestyle, cultural activities, cafe and hearty meals.

You can experience so much of the traditional Chinese culture you can see some boats riding along the canals which can be very entertaining because sometimes you have some singers on the boats which make the whole experience wonderful.

Hotel Complex “Beauty Crown” - Sanya

Every tourist in Sanya is passing these beautiful buildings in the form of trees. I saw them in my very first day in Sanya when I was going from the airport to Dadonghai beach. This is a complex of hotels "Beauty Crown Hotel". There are nine buildings in total, including one 7-star hotel and two 5-star hotels. And in front of the tree houses there is a famous theater which hosts the Miss World competition. I recommend visiting this place on your own, without a guided tour! It will cost you nothing and you can explore the whole area by your own. It is a great place to take cool pictures! How to get there: buses #10, #25, #28, #36. #ThisIsChina #awesomepic#themeparks#bestislandtraveltowns#museumquest#culturalattraction

Old Bukit Timah Railway Station🛤️2021

On the 12th of December 2021, I've revisited the old Bukit Timah railway station. The walking trails and paths are now restructured so I no longer have to look for uneven ground, wild encounters of pebbles, and just enjoy the scenic view of beautiful nature. It was very crowded here but as a self-certified photographer, I take good shots that exclude people from my snaps. It's about a 3-minute walk from the starting point on rifle range road to the railway station. Going deeper towards the end will bring you to the Green Corridor but my stamina no longer peaks like before so I would end it off halfway towards a mini garden followed by the atas private estates which leads to the end of the trek. This trek is highly recommended to everyone. People of any fitness levels can clear it with ease and bring back good photography memories. Getting there: There is the blue line King Albert Park MRT station nearer to the start point or the Beauty World MRT if you needed to grab some food from its nearby Beauty World food centre or Bukit Timah market & food centre. #MoreInSG #登山#culturalattraction

Xi'an the city with thousand of year culture has numerous sites and attractions, leisure areas and fashion boutiques, old authentic taste food in small home based canteens and modern fusion style restaurants. To my mind, Xi'an seems to be the best destination to go regardless season or reason. This city will give you what you are looking for. I have come here several times and always discovered something new. Welcome to the Xi'an city, the capital of Shaanxi province. #staycation#themepark#极光#culturalattraction#吃一顿海鲜大餐

Old Bukit Timah Railway Station 🛤️ 2018

On the 16th of September 2018, we decided to visit the old Bukit Timah railway station. It was before its renovation of the trails and the station. The trails were both rocky and muddy, will tend to be moist in the morning so have to be really careful back then. It is now restructured so no worries, just walk and enjoy nature's kisses. It was kinda empty back then and there weren't many people around despite being a Sunday, probably before bloggers published a guide to it. Getting there: There is the blue line King Albert Park MRT station nearer to the start point or the Beauty World MRT if you needed to grab some food from its nearby Beauty World food centre or Bukit Timah market & food centre. You will arrive at the railway station within 3 minutes of walking from the starting point on rifle range road. Going deeper will bring you to the Green Corridor and I would always take the other path towards the private housing estate where I would end up back to where my starting point is to end my hike. This is unlike the Bukit Timah hill hike but definitely worth a walk and break some sweat. A rare and good trekking spot in Singapore that you must visit. #moreinsg #登山#culturalattraction

Three Days Serengeti - Ngorongoro

The Supreme Safari. On this popular safari, you will explore two of Africa’s 7 natural wonders. Watch the breathtaking wildebeest migration at Serengeti and spot one of the rare rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater. On this safari, you will experience an African adventure beyond your wildest dreams Day 1: Moshi to Serengeti National Park We will leave Moshi early morning and travel to Serengeti National Park. We will travel to Serengeti on a road near the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, allowing for animal sightings along the way. The golden savannah and endless plains, teeming with zebras, wildebeest and giraffes make it easy to understand why the Serengeti is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. On this day, we will enjoy a picnic lunch on Naabai kopje (a small, rocky hill in a generally flat area), where you will have the opportunity to view the Serengeti’s famous pink-headed lizards. After lunch, we will proceed further into the plains for a leisurely game drive. You will spend the night at the Serengeti, Day 2: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater We will begin our day with an early morning game drive in the central Serengeti. The savannah is an active landscape and the air is flooded with the melodies the birds create as the regenerated sunlight starts to illuminate the full landscape. Your guide will study the prints on the ground to pursue predators. We will travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation. You will be provided with dinner and overnight . Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater to Moshi After an early morning breakfast, we will hurry to Ngorongoro Crater, as it is the best time to spot animals. On this day, we will enjoy a game drive around the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake within the park. The lake is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests will be sure to enjoy the visit! Due to the animal “oasis” created within the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’. The group comprises some of the strongest animals in Africa – the ferocious lion, the giant elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino and the mighty water buffalo. Ngorongoro Crater is truly an amazing place. Did you know it was formed over two million of years ago? A large volcano erupted, collapsing the volcano, but left a perfectly unbroken crater, known as a caldera. Within the amazing crater you can expect to view the playful zebra, lumbering hippo, swift wildebeest and cackling hyenas. In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake, while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky in search their next meal of discarded carcass. Beautiful storks, ibis, and cranes are popular water birds in the crater, a sight not to miss. After a lovely afternoon of animal sightings, we will finally start our journey back to Moshi. #skiadventure#camping#culturalattraction

Angkor Wat- Siem Reap, Cambodia

Travel to Angkor Wat, which is located North of the City Siem reap in Cambodia I recommend organising a Tuktuk driver to pick you up early the next morning so you can experience the breathtaking view of sunrise at Siem reap There are many many people there so once you arrive in pitch black, just sit and wait! Angkor Wat is one of the world’s largest religious complexes and as a result there are many temples to explore. You can do this on foot partly, but your tuktuk driver will take you round the loop to visit all the sites. We were finished by lunchtime as it is a lot of walking and an early start, but this should definitely be on every travellers bucket list! #culturalattraction

China’s best ancient town- Lijiang

Lijiang is one of my favourite places in China! Located in Yunnan province, Lijiang is accessible by fast train or plane Where to stay- There are many places to stay both inside and outside the Ancient town itself- There are many affordable hostels and Boutique hotel options What to do- Walk through the streets of the ancient town and explore! There are plenty of options of food and drink to try- Yunnan has some delicious dishes that i had not tasted before eg. Cheese Dumplings ! Visit Jade dragon pond, which is a beautiful scenic area walking distance from the ancient town Or take a day trip and Visit Tiger leaping gorge or the Ethnic minorities village #culturalattraction

Xining, Qinghai

Xining is the biggest city in Qinghai province. An easy step to get to the famous Qinghai Lake, but the city itself is worth visiting too. Fly in, or take a train like I did from nearby Lanzhou. When you're in Xining, you're at the outer edge of the Tibetan Plateau. You can find a glimpse of Tibetan life all around, but nowhere as clear as at the Tibetan Medicine Museum. It's one of the most interesting museums I've been to in China. Of course you can find all kinds of statues as well as plenty of other historic relics. The star of the show, however, is an amazing tangka painting that's about 600 meters long. You can see it all stretched. Better bring your walking shoes. In the city center there are dozens of big shopping malls. You'll easily find a place to eat here. But I suggest going a little outside of the city center towards Wanda Plaza and Sofitel. Around there are plenty of nice little restaurants and bars, such as an Indian restaurant. #culturalattraction

Old meets new in Xian

Xian is easily accessed by high speed train from all directions, whether you are coming from Beijing, Luoyang, Chengdu or Lanzhou. But of course you can always fly in. Every time I go to Xian, I pay a visit to the bell tower. It's just so breathtakingly beautiful, especially when lit up at night. Also walk around Huiminjie, the Muslim quarter near the Drum Tower. Here you can find all kinds of street food as well as many souvenirs to take home. I usually stay at the Mercure on People's Square. It's a little old fashioned, but it's clean, in walking distance of the Bell Tower and the staff is very friendly. You can even use the swimming pool at the neighboring Sofitel as they have the same owner. Although you can find all kinds of western food in Xian, my absolute favorite thing to do is to try the local food. You can try rougamo, yangroupaomo or my favorite the biangbiangmian. If you want something a little fancier, try the dumplings at Dintaifung at SKP mall. They never disappoint. #culturalattraction

I like big Buddhas and i cannot lie!

Leshan Giant Buddha, Sichuan Getting there- take the fast train from Chengdu station to Leshan, from there get a taxi Price- 80RMB Recommendations for your visit- Spend about a half day here, hike the Buddha and then walk a bit further down the river and get a boat tour to give you a different view - The walkways on the Buddha can get quite congested, if you are available arrive earlier - the path by the river is a lovely stretch for a walk once you are finished - There are some stalls selling basic food and drink - There are places to store luggage here if necessary #culturalattraction

Yeliguan Forest Park

To get to Yeliguan, you can take a bus from Lanzhou South bus station, which will take you there in under three hours. From there you can easily walk around the little town or take a taxi to the forest park. To get to the forest park you first have to climb the mountain. It really is too long to climb, so I suggest you go by car or hire a taxi. Once on top of the mountain you can explore on foot on the wooden walkways. If you are looking for a place to stay or eat, you can go to Yeliguan town. It's a small town of only two main streets and a couple of side alleys, but you can find a couple of hotels and quite a few Chinese restaurants. There is also a tourist information center, where the staff is more than happy to help. #culturalattraction

Saint Sophia's Cathedral ~ Harbin 哈尔滨

📌 Located near the famous pedestrian street, it's a short walk if you choose a hotel near here. 哈尔滨市-道里区-透笼街88号-索菲亚广场 📸 To get inside the cathedral, it's 20yuan per person and you need to book by scanning the code outside. HOWEVER, only Chinese citizens with an ID card can purchase them so you will need to ask a friend to buy for you. Please note! It's not open on Mondays. Once you do get inside though, it's quite beautiful and amazing to see the walls in its original condition. A striking contract to the outside. 🏠 We stayed in a hotel called Huate Hotel (华特酒店) which was at the upper end of pedestrian street so took us about 30mins to walk here. ☕️ There is a cafe nearby however it is quite small and we ended up walking back out again and going to a Starbucks just across the road in a mall. There are a number of cafes around however most were closed due to the holidays. #historicplaces #culturalattraction

Street Life in Shanghai

I always try to fly into HongQiao Airport rather than Pudong, as it is much more convenient to get into the city. Every time I go to Shanghai, I just have to see the Bund. It's especially beautiful at night. Try to get a spot at one of the fancy restaurants here for a great view to go with a great meal. At Mercato, for instance, you can order some of the best Italian food in the city. What I love about the city is that it is so young and modern. You can see that in all the street art places. My favorite area to see street art is M50, across the river from the train station. #culturalattraction
