Exploring the Majesty of Glasgow Cathedral
Glasgow Cathedral was built in the 12th-13th centuries, it's one of the few Scottish medieval churches to have survived the Protestant Reformation intact. The cathedral has an impressive Gothic architecture style. Key features include its vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and three-spired granite tower. It serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Glasgow and remains an active church and important pilgrimage site. The lower sections contain catacomb-like crypts with the tombs of former archbishops and other church dignitaries from centuries past.

🇪🇸Pleasant sights and walks🇪🇸
I had wondrous walks around Madrid truly immersing in the atmosphere of Christmas. I loved looking at the decorations and lights around. It was very crowded at times but that did not stop me from taking photos. It was amazing to stumble upon squares and alleys all around, I do suggest to take your time and enjoy the scenery and spots especially the squares. There is also lots of historical buildings around and something to learn about as well. I must say it was fairly easy to walk around as all the streets and squares were connected hence you do not even need to take the metro nor bus. Tip: grab a cup of coffee or hot churros to keep warm while walking plus you’ll the energy😊

The historic record Louvre museum 🇫🇷
The second day in Paris. We visited to the popular Louvre museum where the masterpieces of art have been discovered.
To visit every site room inside the museum, it could take at least 4 hrs. We lined up around 1 hr to take a picture with Monalisa 😂
Mostly, the historical arts room such as Italian, French are crowded. Quite a few people who like modern art rooms like Spanish art.
The museum is always busy, so make sure to make online reservation before tickets are sold out.

Private pool 🏊🏻 sun and tranquility🏖☀️
A villa home away from home🏖, just 15 minute drive south of the airport which is great for a late arrival flight like ours. our plan was to travel Bali a little but after arriving at such a peaceful paradise we decided to just stay in our villa and relax. The private 🏊🏻pool is a really good size with extra shallow part in the shade if you have smaller children. cooking facilities available although the food from the restaurant was delicious, the salmon was a highlight as were the salads 🥗. Breakfast was pretty good too good selection and eggs to your liking every morning. Fridge was a good size and just what we needed to keep your drinks cool ready for the cocktail mix 🍹🍸😋. Dining area was beautifully set up every morning, and it just had such a lovely home away from home feel, whether it was reading a book by the pool or splashing around in the pool. There are 2 other big pools 🏊🏻in communal areas where you can just enjoy the view and green scenery, very clean and well maintained😀. Close to local amenities and a short drive from the beach and restaurants.#familytrip #villas #bali #wintergetaway #wintertrip #christmastrip

Further ahead, you can see a 15-hole arch bridge, built in the Qing Dynasty, with bamboo rafts passing through it from time to time. The village connected to this bridge is called Nianantun, where you can feel the original pastoral life.
There is also the Yang Yu Temple, where in front of the temple are three huge stone steles from the Qing Dynasty, including the "Equan Pavilion Stele".

‼️DON’T MISS the Zhuhai Museum!😍
#wintertrip
When we were in Zhuhai this winter, we made a stop at the Zhuhai Museum! 🏢 We were blown away by what we found! 🤯
First of all, the museum is MASSIVE! It has two halls: one covering the history of Zhuhai’s local cultures, and one about recent economic development. 🏯📈
The hall about Zhuhai’s ancient cultures and minorities was SO interesting! We learned about cultural ceremonies, ways of life (like mud fishing!) and even some dishes which are still eaten locally today. 🎣🥘🐲
In the economic development hall, you can see how Zhuhai became such a major part of the Guangdong region. Plus there are coffee shops and gift shops, and the coffee shop on the top floor has a GREAT view of the Zhuhai theatre! ☕️🌊
Honestly, this museum would have been worth ANY ticket price, but did I mention that entry is FREE???😱
If you’re in Zhuhai, DON’T miss this absolute treasure of a stop! You will be SO glad you went!! 🤩

Winter in Calgary: A Snapshot 📸
#wintertrip
My recent Calgary trip unveiled a vibrant city filled with modern marvels, stunning artistry, and symbolic bridges.
Here's the lowdown on my adventure:
🏔️ Lake Minnewanka: a glacial lake located about 1.5 hrs drive from Calgary. You only get to walk on top of the lake in the winter!
📚 Calgary Central Library: Second stop, a bibliophile's paradise. The Calgary Central Library, with its cutting-edge design, is an architectural wonder and a cultural gem. It's where I got lost in the pages of books and the beauty of design.
🌳 Tree Sculpture: While exploring the city's heart, I stumbled upon a captivating tree sculpture. This striking blend of urban life and nature's artistry served as a potent reminder of Calgary's commitment to public art and the fusion of man-made and natural beauty.
🌉 Peace Bridge: The pièce de résistance, the Peace Bridge, was a serene oasis amidst the city's hustle and bustle. Its striking red-and-white design isn't just a pedestrian bridge; it's a symbol of unity and connection. A place to pause and reflect in the heart of a vibrant city.
Calgary, with its cultural gems, artistic flair, and serene symbols, offers an unforgettable tapestry of experiences.

Visit the incredible Casa Batllo in Barcelona
This winter, I had the privilege of exploring Casa Batlló in Barcelona, and it left an indelible mark on my travel memories. The chilly air outside only heightened the warmth of the experience within those architecturally enchanting walls. Gazing at the intricacies of Gaudí's design while surrounded by the cozy, festive atmosphere of Barcelona in winter created a truly magical blend. From the captivating play of light on the mosaic tiles to the timeless elegance of each room, my visit to Casa Batlló was a winter journey filled with awe and appreciation for the artistry that defines this iconic landmark.
Next year, I would love to visit budapest.

Golden Summit in China
Sichuan province is famous for its mountains. Emeishan is one of those impressive and tourist friendly mountains/national parks. But if you want to see the Golden Summit it’s not a walk in the park.. don’t let those stairs deceive you.
You will face over 40km of stairs climbing up.. And it gets steeper the higher you go. It will take about 2 days. And as we speak of winter trips, the last third of the way will be covered with snow. But I promise you, every step will worth it! You will see real nature and go through temples. In some of them you can stop for a night. And you will be basically alone the whole way.. you know why?
Because not many people choose to climb this mountain. Yes, there is another way 😅 Bus + cable car. But I really advise you to hike the way up and use the easy option for coming down. You won’t regret it.

One of the must visit places once in a lifetime, the Gornergrat! With an altitude of 3,089m, Gornergrat offers the majestic and breathtaking view of Matterhorn! We were very lucky to have a clear day with great visibility and the views were just out of the world! Switzerland is literally heaven on earth! While Matterhorn is the main attraction, the glaciers surrounding Gornergrat were mesmerising too! We took the train ride from Zermatt to the peak of Gornergrat, smooth and scenic ride, we love it! The top station has a café, gift shop, a small church, a few view points of the peak and for pictures! We spent around 2-3hours at the peak taking photos, taking in the views and had our lunch at the café! Be sure to layer yourself with thick clothes and coats to keep yourself warm! 10/10 recommending this destination! ✨
