Serenity personified
#hangzhoutrip
Coming from the land of the prince 👑 Siddhartha (aka Buddha 😉) it's hard not to get mesmerized by that serene face, that has brought purpose to this world 🌍 One such purposeful visit is to the Jingci temple along with my teammates, as part of office excursion tho 😜 The place was completely filled with plants ☘️ zen-mode fishes 🐠🐟 and those perfect arcs at every entrance which resembles the traditional Chinese architecture ⛩️. Also I was greatly admired by the decision of the management to not commercialize the place, too much; which makes it a perfect place for anyone living in the town to just drop by and say hello to Buddha 😋 #tripblazers#urbanexplorer#ukcreator
The Benson Hotel
#timetotravel We had a two-night stay in this historic hotel where US Presidents and famous artists have stayed during their visit in Portland, Oregon.
I loved the interior. It somehow transported my family and I in a different time. We also enjoyed the Stairwell Museum as it showcased photos of Portland's beginnings.
I really recommend to stay here.

Rocky hike 🪨🥾
#shenzhentrip
As I'll always be wary of offbeat hiking trail 🏞️in foreign land just because of the unknowns of the terrain, while this time I decided to embark on one such unknown journey 🚶🏾♂️ Well I'd say it really did paid off, with my girl around, we got to see the whole bay area 🗾⚓ from a really nice viewing spot, at the top of the Wutong expedition. If you had followed my previous post about this mount, then you may know that this trail is quite a rocky 🪨 terrain but after you've reached the top there'll be neatly laid out steps; where I saw people go and wait until sunset 🌇 to see the city start glittering ✨ as the night 🌃 sets in. But since we were quite tired to do that, we decided to hike down the hill; which was quite rewarding too, as we got to see some jungle creatures along the way !! #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #ukcreator

Vivid Bright Red inspiration
#timetotravel
Jiu Fen Full, a little taste of Taiwan restaurant at their branch of Amoy Garden, Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, particularly draw my attention to enter and take a look at their superb Chinese scene with red background decoration and bright lanterns.
Must say very exciting to see every inches of it! The most famous for Taiwanese cuisine is the braised pork with rice but I don’t like the fattening pork. So I chose to try the noodle soup which haven’t had before, HK$50, with their special drink, HK$25.
The food arrived in a short time and the taste was outstanding good. They have branches at Tuenmun, Kowloon and Hong Kong but not known if any of them will be as dazzling as this one.
Only a few mins walk from Kowloon Bay MTR station. #jiufenfull #taiwanesefood #amoygarden #Taiwaneserestaurant #passionpassport #本地遊 #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #yuppijeinhk2023 #yuppijemeal2023
Timeless buildings
#shenzhentrip
Basically to create things in life 🧬 is already a big deal, and to create something that'll go beyond generations is like putting a dent in the universe 🌌. Such is the creation of the European 🏰 town from Huawei, which speaks volumes of their dedication and perfection. As I was hearing about the effort that has gone into this town, it was confrontation time that to enjoy the entire town which is situated around the Songshan lake of 22km path, I was lucky to have the cycle 🚲 vendors providing range of cycles for couples/kids and families. It costed 40rmb for a decent single person cycle, with 300 rmb deposit which will be refunded on return. And this service is available at the east gate of Songshan lake itself. #tripblazers#urbanexplorer
Tower culmination
#shenzhentrip
The best thing about visiting natural/famous places in China is that, all the places are well facilitated with basic needs 💧🥟🚻⛑️ so that even people who aren't in great fitness (like me😋) also can enjoy these experiences. On such occasion, as we were hiking 🥾 all the way up in the Wutong mountain ⛰️ on rough terrains we encountered the massive tomb shaped tower 🗼 (which is very likely a phone signal tower) and other refreshing facilities. They also have laid out a neat viewing platform to get to see the deep valley, from this hiking culmination point. Also I'd suggest to go in here during the spring season, around March, to get to see the blossoming 🌸 flowers all around the mountain. #tripblazers#urbanexplorer
💙🌊Beautiful Island Vibes🌊💙
🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳
On our final UNESCO World Heritage site of the Halong Bay tour. We arrive at…
Titop Island~It is a small, picturesque island known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views of the surrounding bay.
This island was named by the most respectful hero of Vietnam, President Ho Chi Minh, after the Russian cosmonaut Gherman Titov on the occasion of his first visit to Halong Bay in 1962. We walk around for a bit and see many people on the beach, but we are going to climb for a bit to see the view💙

🏝️🇻🇳Halong Bay Cruise🇭🇰🏝️
🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳
Our first stop on this UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay is the Luon Cave…located in Bo Hon Island known as the island of amazing things.
Luon Cave is like a gate opening a wonderland with water and limestone mountains in Halong Bay. Crossing Luon Cave, an absolutely different world is waiting on the other side: the world of water, mountains and life.
Here you can kayak, ride a speed boat or just view the scenery by a row boat,while doing these activities, you can also feel the cool atmosphere with the fresh air of the lake, and see by yourself the remains of fossil shells on the limestone cliffs, which is evidence for the forming process of Bo Hon Island.

Best Fruit Tea in Town!
One of the famous Malaysian brand fruit tea in KL and it’s also one of our common spot for drinking chit chatting. They have many branches in Klang Valley and this is the SS15 Subang branch. The place is relaxing, serve many kinds of fruit tea flavours such as grapes, watermelon, avocado and more! Perfect for fruit lovers and people on diet because they use only real fruits in mixing the teas.
We are super thirsty so we got 3 drinks, the berries yoghurt frappe, an avocado yoghurt frappe also a citrus fruit tea. It’s so fresh, refreshing and enjoyable! We asked for less sugar so it won’t also be too sweet because the fruits already give out all the natural sweetness in the drinks.

North Garden Children Playground
#timetotravel
At Shatin Park in Shatin, along the Shing Mun River, New Town of Shatin, near New Town Plaza, Shatin Town Hall and Shatin Public Library, there is a big area as play ground in the North. It’s a great place for family and pet on weekends to share fun activities together.
The man made hill side, with a lengthy slope going up, crawl under the cave through the other side and climbing the swirl stairs down from the Chinese pavilion.
Or sliding at one of the huge equipped children playground. Also a big green lawn for mini rugby or other activities with fun for both adults and the young ones.

Super Airy Croissants and Pastries
#timetotravel
Have you heard about this “Doughman” bakery and coffee in Cheungshawan just off Laichikok MTR station. Whenever passing by, there was a long queue from inside the shop to the roadside.
No joke! A chance to go by during working time and a peep inside the tiny shop, there was room to get in and took a glimpse.
By looking at it, already mouth watering with its fluffy, colours and glazing!
The chef was previously 5 star hotel pastry chef and here he has established his own place for playing with dough and it’s testament.
Croissants HK$18, Danish pastry HK$26-28. Let’s go big with 3 Danish pastries. The air between layers of the pastry made it so fluffy and crispy and the French butter made it so smooth and fragrant. #dougman #cheungshawan #laichikok #doughmanbakeryandcoffee #本地遊 #passionpassport #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #yuppijeinhk2023

Magic Door to Europe 🌍
#shenzhentrip
This time during my Shenzhen 🏨 stay I thought of exploring the outer areas, and that's when I came across this magical place that would literally make you feel like you opened the magical door 🚪 to Europe 🌍 It was an one hour ride to Songshan lake east gate which is a 4A rated ecological site. Well, it isn't just the lake but these towering beauties that added charm to the whole place. Being a techie myself, it is a total surprise to me that inside these buildings 🏫 operate the Huawei tech development and university. I also got to know it's quite an ambitious project that Huawei took it up and poured in close to billion 💵 dollar. I think it's fair to say, it's paid off 😁 #tripblazers #urbanexplorer
Formula 1 Night Race Marina Bay!🏎️🇸🇬🎆
#singapore
Address: Singapore Marina Bay Street Circuit
Ambiance: 5/5
Highlights: F1 Night race, post race concerts, fireworks
Rating: 5/5
One of the crown jewels of the formula 1 races is the Singapore Marina Bay Street Circuit. It is the one and only night race in the whole Formula 1. This is my first time attending the race in person and it is fantastic. Over 260k people showed up for the event which was very well organized with lots of signages and ushers to direct people. It was like a well controlled chaos if that is even possible. The race itself was super exciting with lots of overtaking opportunities and George Russell crashing out on the final lap which definitely caused a few tears. There were great performances by big name artists like post Malone too! And when Ferrari’s Carlos crossed the line, fireworks lit up the city skyline which created a picturesque backdrop for the whole world to see! It is definitely a must visit for any F1 fan to see this race and soak in the atmosphere in person.

Indie Creatures
#shenzhentrip
Oftentimes animals go by their intuition when they target 🎯 something, rather than finding explicit reasons why to do. I think such was a calling for me to visit this zoo 😁, and encounter fellow living beings. This place has so much varieties of birds & animals from all over the world 🌍 They also has a nice show with the animals performing 🎭 some nice stunt acts. It was interesting to see that the elephant 🐘 family had members of every possible age; which made it look like this herd just traveled to this zoo and made it their home 😜. And definitely 🦚 peacocks are always a sight to behold since my college days as they were wandering around in my hostels. Quite a relishing experience!! #tripblazers#urbanexplorer

Dusky Bay
#shenzhentrip
Growing up as a child in a village, my very first experience of admiring the beauty of nature is by sunsets 🌄 and early morning 🌅 sunrises & clouds ☁️ It's these natural elements that makes the essential part of my explorer instincts to go further and seek more. One such gem 😍 I found in Shenzhen was this seaside Ecological park 🏞️ which gives an unobstructive view of Hongkong on the other side of the sea ⛵🌊. On a clear sunny day, we went there to talk a walk in the evening which turned out to be a pure blissful experience ✨. Also the bay has quite dusky colored muds and rocks/pebbles, which presented a nice playing place for kids, of course under their parents' surveillance. You may also birds cackling around because of the food which albeit forbidden 😁#urbanexplorer #tripblazers

Dance of Nature & Human Skyscrapers
#shenzhentrip
Shenzhen is quite a mountainous region, which qualify it to be one of my favorites in China. Oftentimes in a few metres onto the main road 🛣️ you'll get to see the distant 🏔️ mountains with full green 💚 patches. So this time I decided to chase one of those mountains and hike to get the view of man-made skyscrapers 🏙️ from the natural skyscrapers ⛰️😜 Since I stayed in Luohu district in Shenzhen it's super convenient to just take a 20-min ride to reach Wutong mountain. You may start your hike in a neatly laid out cement road, but to get the amazing view you have to take a detour to a 🪨 rocky path, after some 2 kms. What's the fun in hiking in a cement road right ? 😉 #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #hiking
