Lyf by the Ascott limited in Han Zhou
Place: Lyf midtown by the Ascott limited
Location: Mid-Town, 6 Xiangmao Rd, Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, 310000
A lovely upbeat, colourful hotel suited for a younger crowd with amazing amenities for travellers. Forget pools and fancy saunas, for a solo traveller lyf provides amenities we actually need. From washing machines, ironing board, clothes steamer, gyms, coworking space lyf understands their demographic well.
A comfortable stay although admittedly the quality of the rooms arent top 5 star bed linen but its still fantastic for its price
Overall stay rating 8.5/10

📌"Pavilion Pier" 亭子码头
📍Address: Jiangnan District, Nanning, China, 530219
"First there is Pavilion Ferry, and then there is Nanning City."
It was once an extremely busy commercial port in Nanning. Nowadays, the beautiful Yongjiang renovation project, built with huge investment by the government, has given this old part a new look. Tingzi Riverside Park has been determined to be built as one of the eighteen parks along the Yongjiang River.Today, the Pavilion Pier has become a popular place to take photos and check in. The spots are great for taking photos, walking, picnicking, running, biking, skateboarding, partying, and cruising. Take a photo of it, and you will see a castle in European-French style. There are many small shops around where you can buy snacks, milk tea, fruit scoops, ice cream, desserts, skewers, and cheese sticks. It is a good place for tourists to rest and chat.

🇪🇸Authentic Experience!🦎🍍🥑🍋🍇
#timetotravel
I had the opportunity to visit La Recova Market during my trip to Tenerife, and I must say it was a fascinating experience. This market offers a wide variety of local products, from crafts to culinary specialties.
Atmosphere: ☀️The atmosphere is truly authentic, with a blend of colors, sounds, and aromas that capture the spirit of the island. It wasn’t too crowded when I went, which made the visit more enjoyable.
Available Products: 🍋🍇🦀I found many interesting options, including local crafts like textiles and art objects, as well as a wide selection of fresh food and local specialties like cheese and honey.
Prices: 🫰💵Prices were in line with expectations for a market of this kind. I found that many of the craft products were very affordable, while the culinary specialties were a bit more expensive but worth it.
Accessibility: ♿️🦮 La Recova is easily accessible, located in the heart of Santa Cruz. I easily found parking nearby.
Tips: 🎩Make sure to try some of the local culinary specialties, such as fresh cheese and honey. Also, bring cash as some vendors may not accept credit cards.
In general, La Recova is a must-visit if you want to experience the authentic culture and cuisine of Tenerife.#TravelInspiration #holidays #trip #culturewalk

Avatar: The Experience at Gardens by the Bay
Let me tell you about the Avatar: The Experience I had at Gardens by the Bay! It was like stepping into another world, straight outta the movie. As soon as I entered the exhibit, I was surrounded by lush greenery and surreal landscapes that transported me to Pandora.
The attention to detail was unreal! The flora and fauna, all vibrant and alien-like, made me feel like I was part of the Na'vi tribe. The interactive elements were a total blast too. I got to control the bioluminescent plants with my touch and even heard the mystical sounds of Pandora echoing through the air.
There were various statues of the characters placed around Cloud Forest, such as the Na’vi tribe, the monsters that appeared in the movie, as well as moving animatronics.
Overall, the Avatar experience at Gardens by the Bay was an out-of-this-world adventure. If you're a fan of the movie or just looking to escape reality for a bit, this is the place to be. Get ready to immerse yourself in a magical world.

Malaysia Sabah Semporna
Semporn is one of the most famous islands in Malaysia, and it is also an island I want to go to.😍
Finally, I’m here🥳😜.
I stayed in a water house for the first time, I chose a cheap but beautiful water house. This resort name is SeaStar Resort Semporna.
This water house is close to Semporna Pier, about 5 minutes by boat, which is suitable for some people who have limited funds and want to experience the decoration of living in a water house.
This resort room is very large, fully equipped, and the food is delicious, especially for dinner. 😋
Of course, there will definitely be some disadvantages if you live so close and cheap. That means there will be more garbage 😅.

Video tour Three Gorges Waterfall.
The Three Gorges Great Waterfall must be included in the TO-DO list of places to visit during your visit to Yichang. The scenic area has a lush green vegetation, fresh clean air everywhere and wonderful view points to enjoy the mountainous landscape. Spring and early summer seasons are the best times to visit. The waterfall is very high nd you can pass underneath to fill the power of the falling water.
Bring comfortable walking shoes as there are many stairs to climb. Hiking is not very demanding but better to come early enough so you can climb up without rushing. Don't forget your water bottle and camera! You will see some beautiful jade green spring water along the way and the waterfall is truly breathtaking!

My 1-day escape
My very first time to experience the water bus (Bach Dang station to Binh An station around 15mins)... super hot weather and the breeze really helped when sitting on the bus.
It was a day as normal as others, but pretty lessening crowd because they've travelled to other cities for holidays.
The time of being quiet, living slowly, tasting the foods, drinking a cup of coffee, wandering around is definitely healing and enjoyable.
***
Water bus ticket: VND 15,000/person/way (from Bach Dang station to Binh An station)
F&B and Restaurants:
1, The Barista in Dist.2, no.80, street 15, An Phu
A cakes and coffee shop, small but pretty and quiet at noon
2, Ebisu Japanese in Thu Duc, no.66, Song Hanh st., An Phu
The steamed eggs with crab sauce is recommended (overall 7/10 grade in my opinion)
3, Spice Temple in Takashimaya Saigon Centre, Dist. 1
Pad Thai and soup were okay (I think it may be 8/10)

Conveniently located in the quieter part of Hatyai, it is only 2.4km from Central Festival Mall. 10mins distance to the premium 7-11 outlet, Lee Garden & etcetera.
Comfortable to sleep in & good value for money.

Incredible Chongqing trip 😃
Chongqing is a fantastic city which is also an independent municipality. It is one of China’s biggest city.
It is known worldwide for the Yangtze river and fine spicy gastronomy. You must walk in the city historic centre to enjoy the amazing architecture which combines modern and impressive buldings as well as traditional chinese architecture beautifully lighted.
Walking on the streets is fun, there are many landmarks such as bridges, museums, parks and temples. I came to Chongqing for a 4 days trip but I would recommend at least a whole week to experience the city without rushing.
A few of the top landmarks to visit in this city are: Liziba station, The Huanjueping graffity street, Hongya Cave, Three Gorges Museum, Jiefangbei among others, Wulong Karts among others.

New York city New Year's Eve
New York City New Year's Eve Last 2022.
It is really a bucket list to spend the new year's eve on NYC Times square. But you need to be ready, Dress Warm, stay hydrated and No Bathroom inside the crowd. We got inside, near the stage about 12hours before the countdown with no restroom time at all 😱, NYPD wont let you go outside to take a restroom and be back to your place. Once you get out, they wont let you in again and thus the crowd its difficult to be back inside. if your with a child, like me together with my 7yr old child, she wore a diapers so to be sure. but overall experience was all worth it. because of we are early on the scene, we had always has an exposure to the tv cameras, we even got exposures that shown in CNN and worldwide tvs and news! It was all great experience and unforgettable!
