Little San Francisco of Shanghai

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this because ots a little bit of a hidden gem for now, but its so beautiful how can I not share it. This spot is super easy to find, on the didi you simple put Lvzhiqiu. I say hidden gem, and but that I mean it hasnt been over populated with people yet, although I am sure it will be soon so visit fast! This was one of my favorite spots in Shanghai. for those that love to take phoros this spot has so many nice options for plenty of stunning shots. there isvals oa little cafe right on the river and its worth a visit for sure. sadly no drones allowed 🙊 but bring your camera, phone, go pro and shoot away 😍 #smelltheroses#wintergetaway#unforgettableexperiences#deliciousfood#awesomepic#café#loveflowers#beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#romanticrestaurant#culturalattraction#lakes

LOCCAL COLLECTION HOTEL

When I first arrived, I was greeted by friendly staff. Beautiful sea views await us on the 5th floor (semi beach with infinity pool) and 6th floor. Rooms are recommended to take the 2nd or 3rd floor (room number with 12xx or 13xx numbers) so that there is access to the balcony door. Rooms with low type, you could say cramped for 2 people and belongings. PLN for this hotel, I think, has not been maximized, because the lights went out 3-5 times. I have an order and book a place for 7 pm. It has been given the words "Reserved" but at 5 pm it rained for a while and the words "Reserved" were taken. So that my booking was taken by someone else. At 7 pm exactly, I asked for food and drinks (Menu Package B: Attached) which I ordered earlier to be removed. But we waited 45 minutes for the drinks to be brought out and over 60 minutes for the food to be brought out. There was no On Duty Manager at that time so I had to ask about 3 times for my order. Luckily..... The food at this hotel is really good. Highly recommend the food. 10 thumbs up for the food First time here, wow, it's really cool.. the design of the hotel is champion, especially the view. feel like Santorini. The food is large portions, definitely full, delicious. The hotel has a white feel so it looks clean For Local Collection Hotel Staff... You are quite friendly and patient with your guest's complaints. Continue to fix the shortcomings above, keep what is already good. #smelltheroses#culturalattraction#historicculture#beaches

Liverpool, England

Liverpool is famous for The Beatles, Albert Dock, and an almost impossible accent to understand. The night life is wild and the city is old industrial style beautiful. Liverpool is the nitty gritty northern lifestyle you see glamorised in British movies. A city truly worth visiting at least once in your lifetime. #roadtrip#newphotographer#smelltheroses#café#summervacation#urbanexplorer

The Summer Palace, Beijing

The Summer Palace influences the mind into creating imagery of picnics and lazy bumble bees in the sun, blooming roses and a warm summer breeze. Visiting in winter left a lasting impression, with the sunset reflecting off of the iced lake as the air became more and more cold. Beautiful. #smelltheroses#christmastrip#happynewyear#wintergetaway#awesomepic#nationalpark#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Campuhan ridge walk: easy, pretty, fun!

Campuhan ridge walk is one of the most popular and recognizable attractions of Bali. If you don’t recognize a photo with the pathway and the palm tree next to it - you haven’t been to Bali. It’s a 2-kilometer #hikingtrails that’s really easy to walk regardless of how active you are in your life. And if it’s too easy, you can always run through it, but then you’ll miss all the breathtaking views. And they are truly breathtakingly stunning. The lush green trees covered in golden sunlight and the contrast of these colors against the bright blue sky - all of it makes you feel like you are in some fairytale place where everything is possible. At the end of the 30-minute walk (I walk slowly, but it might take even longer if you stop to appreciate the beauty or take photos), there will be a village where you can reward yourself for the workout with handmade ice cream and check out some art made by talented locals. Warning: please don’t go in the afternoon unless you want to be thoroughly cooked on both sides by the merciless #bali sun. But then again, the afternoon seems to be the least crowded time, so perhaps it’ll be worth it - but bring a hat. Location: located in Ubud and easy to find on Google Maps. Kelusa, Payangan, Jl. Raya Campuhan, Sayan, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571, Indonesia Dangerous/safe: It’s relatively safe there from unfriendly humans and animals. You’ll see a lot of geckos. If you are really unlucky, you’ll encounter a snake, but in that case, you can’t blame the ridge walk 🤷🏻‍♀️ Fees: free and no parking fee, either (which is surprising cause those are collected everywhere) Instagram rating: it’s 10/10 Instagram worthy. You’ll be able to take amazing photos and videos there. #smelltheroses#scenicspotguide#couplestrip#hiking#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails

Hainan Island; the most relaxing

My third time in Hainan and still not my last, beautiful beaches and a tropical climate really make for a luxurious place to relax and read a book. Hainan is the beautiful south and I will continue to return, sip coconuts on the beach, and swim and pale blue waters. #smelltheroses#springholiday#travelinspiration#nationalpark#beautifulhotel#summervacation#beachvacation

For an unforgettable staycation, one must get fresh perspectives of their city. I personally can think of no better way than perched 40 stories above Coco Park, sipping a heady rosè and taking in the sights at the Shangri-La FuTian. First visited by my fiancé and I for his birthday, we thought we were in for the usual "Ah, a place to sleep a few kilometers away from our own apartment just to break routine." But from the moment we walked through the doors into the gilded lobby, everything was breathtaking and bespoken. They'd sprinkled roses everywhere in our spacious suite, included a complimentary bottle of wine and hand delivered a beautiful cake and card to mark the milestone. These little touches were deeply appreciated ❤️ We planned on having dinner at the nearby remarkable restaurants we're always frequenting, but during afternoon tea at the hotel realized we'd be remiss to do so. Pro-tip: spring for an executive room or suite. The lounge access is so worth it, and the open bar so much fun! Plus the other benefits, like a late checkout (especially useful after a night of clubbing in nearby Coco Park!) executive status really ups the ante! Our suite featured two bathrooms alone, far larger than our actual apartment! I cannot speak highly enough of the impeccable services, facilities, location, and personalization of my Shangri-La stay. For business, romance, or getaway fun with friends, go for the lovely central location and nearby entertainment, stay for the noteworthy splendor. #smelltheroses#deliciousfood#beautifulsunsets#beautifulhotel#romanticrestaurant#couplestrip#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

Panagbenga is month long an annual flower festival celebrated every February which takes place in Baguio City, Philippines. The term “Panagbenga” comes from a Kankanaey term meaning “season of blooming”. This festival reflects the history, traditions and values of Baguio and the Cordilleras. This was tribute to the city's flowers and as a way to rise up from the devastation of the 1990 Luzon earthquake. It lasts over a month long and flourishes through community spirit involvement. #newyearstrip#smelltheroses#newphotographer#travelinspiration#givethanks#unforgettableexperiences#scenicspotguide#instagramworthydestinations#wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

The Pacific Northwest, and more specifically the Washington Coast, is one of my favorite places to explore. There are so many different unique landscapes in every direction you look. On of the worlds most popular urban legends was first “spotted” in the PNW, Sasquatch. It is said that the Bigfoot roam the forests just off the coasts. There have been numerous sightings in a majority of the coastal towns, but no hard evidence has been uncovered yet. #unforgettableexperiences #awesomepic #seasidephotoguide #smelltheroses #beach

Israel is a relatively small country with an extremely diverse topography. Landscapes can range from the coastal plains near the Dead Sea, highlands in the North, and the Negev Desert in the South. Each place is unique in its own way and there are so many different places to see. Here are five lesser known facts about the country: 1. Israel is the only country I. The world that has more trees than it did 50 years ago. 2. It has more museums per capita than any other country. 3. Its where voicemail technology was developed. 4. Life expectancy is amoung the highest in the world at 82 years. 5. Israel tops the list of countries when it comes to the annual production of scientific papers. #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #ancienttowns #seasidephotoguide #smelltheroses

Oregon is one of the most diverse states in the US. The scenery is ever changing and can range anywhere from massive waterfalls to peaceful lakes. The coast can be fun to explore but there is so much to see when you get inland. Crater Lake National Park is perhaps my favorite of these spots. It sits just outside of Eugene, Oregon. It was created around 7700 years ago when Mt. Mazama erupted, cremating the surrounding landscape. #awesomepic #oregon #scenic #landscape #travelinspiration #smelltheroses

Visiting the region of Engelberg in Switzerland was something on our bucket list for a long time. This is the perfect destination for hikers and discovering true and quiet nature while breathing the most pure fresh air.

Wine tasting and romantic picnics in the lavender fields of of this beautiful California resort. It was like being transported to the South of France without even leaving the U.S!

Sakura season in Japan, otherwise known as cherry blossom season, is my favourite time to photograph the country. Osaka Castle in particular looks glorious surrounded by candyfloss pink blossom.

The television and broadcasting tower, the Tokyo Skytree, looms high above the city and holds the title as the world’s tallest freestanding tower.

Halloween Celebration with Mike Family

Halloween or Hallowe'en, also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. This ritual has been a tradition in the United States and other Western countries for centuries. The history of Halloween or trick-or-treating dates back to the Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of a bountiful harvest for the summer and the beginning of the dark, cold winter. My family decide to make party at my Tom which is my uncle house this year. We all gather at night before start the celebration. #halloween2021 #smelltheroses#newphotographer

Vietnamese Street Markets

There's international admiration for Vietnamese culinary delights, but it's easy to forget where these ingredients began life; in the most beautiful coloured markets in South East Asia. Vibrant fruits and vegetables sold by the friendliest locals. Really should never miss trying these delights in Can Tho. #smelltheroses#seafoodfeast#deliciousfood#culturalattractions

Singapore, the lion city

I entered Singapore with zero expectations and at every corner I was blown away by this modern metropolis filled with the best multicultural society. Upon visiting a museum about Chinese families moving to Singapore for a better life, I was really struck by the deep history as a big port of call for many passing ships. A modern city steeped in history. #newphotographer#smelltheroses#decembertravel#naturalwonders#summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Guangming Reservoir

Longwu Tea Village and Guangming Reservoir. The water from the reservoir supplies water to acres of surrounding tea fields. #smelltheroses#maydaytrip#roadtrip

Fish Market not just a MARKET

Getting There - Few things that stopped me from giving more stars; the best way to get here is by car; there aren’t many public transport options as it isn’t close to any trains or bus stops. Reminder - Getting a table here can be a real struggle and I believe more tables & chairs could be a huge improvement. Finally although the food here is great & fresh, don’t expect it to be cheap #bestislandtraveltowns#smelltheroses#newyearstrip#seasidephotoguide#beautifulhotel#naturalwonders#seafoodfeast
