🌞 Singapore – Malacca The weather was great these two days, and the views along the way were nice. I got to see the sunrise, sunset, and even the starry sky (though it wasn’t super stunning because of the thick clouds 🌥️). Normally I get motion sickness quite easily, but this time the sea was calm, so I felt fine the whole trip! 🙌 🎭 What I Did I didn’t end up trying the rock climbing wall, ropes course, or water slides. The boarding process drained all my energy — I had to stand in line for over an hour and then sit waiting for another hour 🥲. In Malacca, we had to wait about an hour for the tender boat back to the ship. Exhausting! So most of the time onboard was just eating and relaxing in the room 😴. I watched both shows: Voyage of a Lover’s Dream (I think that’s what it was called?) — a mix of magic, acrobatics, and singing/dancing. It was really good! The female performers were gorgeous and super cool 💃, and there were plenty of buff guys showing off their muscles 👀. Fabulous Chan — very interactive, high-energy atmosphere. Multilingual songs, but honestly pretty obvious lip-syncing 😂. Some of the interactive moments might not be suitable for kids 🧒. 🍽️ What I Ate We had breakfast and dinner at the Lido buffet. The food wasn’t as bad (or as amazing) as some online reviews claim — just decent overall. There was always something we could eat. One meal had braised noodles that we really liked — totally something we’d eat regularly if it was near home. #gentingdream #singaporecruise #travel #cruiselife #seaview #cruise #malacca

You don’t always need to pay for an expensive observation deck to get an amazing Singapore sunset. One of my favourite ways to watch the city turn on its evening lights is CÉ LA VI Singapore, on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3. For S$38 per person, you get a premium drink — cocktail, wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option — and, most importantly, a proper place to sit and enjoy the view. You’re looking straight across Marina Bay, with the famous infinity pool and Singapore skyline in front of you. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than a typical observation deck. Come around 5:30–6:00 PM, grab a seat, watch the sunset, then stay as the city lights come on. There’s also music and a DJ later in the evening, so you can easily turn sunset into a few hours out. 📍 CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 💰 S$38 including one premium drink 🌅 Best time: around 5:30–6:00 PM 🎧 DJ from around 7:30 PM For me, this is one of those Singapore experiences where the price actually makes sense. Would you pay S$38 for this view + a drink? #singapore #singaporetravel #marinabaysands #celavi #singaporesunset #singaporenightlife #singaporetips #travelsingapore #marinabay #singaporeviews #singaporebars #singapore2026 #travelasia #tripmoments #harborviews

Travel far to the feast of a stunning beauty, to witness the magnificent face of Shangri-La. Leave your fatigue to Posun, and return your soul to the snow mountains and the wind~ Strolling among the clouds, Shangri-La's winter is quiet and gentle. At first glance upon checking into Posun Hotel, I was healed by the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the snowy plains stretch vast, and the distant Napa Lake sparkles with scattered light under the sun. The hotel's design perfectly blends with nature, especially the giant panoramic windows in the rooms. In the morning, watching the golden sunlight shine on the snowy mountains, and at night, sipping a drink by the warm light with a sky full of stars outside the window—this is the true vacation. Every casual shot is full of atmosphere, no filter needed. The hotel's restaurant has an excellent location; while enjoying exquisite Tibetan-style dinner, you can look up and see the distant snow mountains. The aroma of yak meat hotpot pairs perfectly with the snowy scenery outside the window. Remember to order a pot of warm butter tea—this is the right way to enjoy a winter trip to Shangri-La. TIPS: ▫️Winter in Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring enough warm clothes ▫️You can choose the hotel's arranged Napa Lake lake tour, avoid tourist groups, and better experience the tranquility of the grasslands ▫️Be sure to choose a room with a panoramic window; having breakfast while watching the sun shine on the golden mountains is pure happiness

First time staying at The RuMA Hotel , and I’m already loving this property. And congratulations again to the team on retaining One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. · What I enjoyed most was discovering the little stories behind the hotel. RuMa comes from rumah, the Malay word for “home”, and you can really see that idea carried through the design. From the Bird Cage at the entrance, inspired by the canary cages once used in KL’s tin mines, to the grand staircase and Bernard Chandran’s striking golden kebaya sculpture, there’s so much character throughout the property. · The location is another plus. Being right in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, with KLCC and Pavilion nearby, made exploring the city really convenient. · There was some time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities too, from the 25 metre infinity pool and 24 hour gym to UR SPA. And of course, I spent quite a bit of time eating and drinking my way around the property. · My timing worked out perfectly with @guum.sg dinner collaboration at @atas.kl , where @chef_louishan brings his modern Korean steakhouse to The RuMa until November. Over at SEVEN Lobby Bar, a gin-focused cocktail bar with more than 77 types of gin, I tried their three drink cocktail flight featuring local flavours like kaya and pandan. · Breakfast and lunch were both at ATAS, while afternoon tea at The LIBRARI featured their Chapters of RuMa afternoon tea, presented on a handcrafted congkak board, with each “chapter” bringing together savoury bites, sweets, scones and pralines. The following day, lunch at SANTAI by the infinity pool was a more relaxed affair, with the KL skyline right in front of us. · It was my first stay at The RuMa, and I can already see why The RuMa has such a following. As for the Deluxe King Suite I stayed in during this trip, I’ll leave that for the next post. #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #luxurystay #hotelstay #hotelexperience #travelmalaysia #malaysiatravel #visitmalaysia #kualalumpur #visitkl #explorekl #therumahotel

Autumn has arrived at Ikkoten, and the new seasonal omakase brings some of the richest flavours of the year to its intimate counter in Telok Ayer. The 15-course Hana experience moves beyond a sushi-focused omakase, reflecting Ikkoten’s kaiseki influence through a progression of raw and cooked courses. Autumn ingredients appear throughout, from cold matsutake chawanmushi to kabocha ebi shinjo with edamame purée and uni. The signature Chilean seabass with nori butter remains a memorable part of the meal, while A5 wagyu sukiyaki with foie gras, seasonal vegetables and shishito sauce brings a deeper richness before the sushi courses begin. Mongo ika, aka ebi, chutoro and buri lead into the signature negitoro uni monaka, combining creamy tuna and uni with a crisp shell. A light yuzu clear dashi resets the palate before an autumn chestnut Mont Blanc closes the experience. With only 12 seats around the counter, the setting keeps the focus on each course and its preparation. Ikkoten’s Autumn menus run from September through November, making this a seasonal experience with a limited window. Which autumn course would you want to try first? . . . . . . . #sgfood #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfoodblogger #singaporefood #singaporefoodie #singaporeeats #sgdining #telokayer #sgrestaurant #ikkoten #omakase #omakasesg #japanesefoodsg #kaiseki

If I could only recommend one place that feels like an alien planet in this lifetime, I would choose here without hesitation—Mangystau in Kazakhstan. 📱There is no internet, no signal here, only the wonders carved by the wind and time. And these geological wonders are on a countdown; weathering and erosion never stop, and they might disappear completely one day. 🌟Three must-see wonders: Bozshira Canyon Standing at the edge of the canyon, all you see are gray-white rock layers, like opening a gray poem from a geological history book. At sunset, the sun dyes the rock walls golden red, and standing there gives you the illusion that you’re not just looking at a landscape but listening to the silent sigh of this planet. Mysterious Stone Spheres Scattered across the desert are countless huge stone spheres, ranging from one meter to four or five meters in diameter. They lie abruptly on the Gobi desert like toys carelessly dropped by giants. Geologists say they are concretions formed by sedimentation, but seeing them with your own eyes still feels magical. Castle Valley Wind-eroded rock pillars rise from the ground like abandoned ancient castles. We camped here overnight under the most magnificent starry sky I’ve ever seen—no light pollution, and the Milky Way is so clear you can see the nebula structures. 🚙 Practical Tips: How to get there: You must hire an off-road vehicle and find a local guide, departing from Aktau city. There are no roads in the desert, only tire tracks, and you will definitely get lost if you drive yourself. Where to stay: You can only stay in tents or nomads’ yurts. No water, no electricity, no internet—conditions are tough, but this wilderness survival experience becomes the most unforgettable part of the trip. Important reminders: ① Huge temperature difference between day and night; short sleeves during the day and down jackets at night—bring enough warm clothes. ② Every hot meal and drink in the desert is precious—don’t waste them. ③ No signal throughout the trip; inform your family in advance not to worry. ④ Strong wind and sand—protect your camera and phone from dust. The impact of this trip is so strong that when I look through the photos, it still feels unreal. But honestly, what photos can capture is less than one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes. Mangystau is not a trendy tourist spot; there are no check-in points or cafes. It just quietly waits there for you to personally experience what it means when “Earth doesn’t feel like Earth.”

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

💛A golden palette spilled by the gods, a spring romance in the winter While most of the country is still shrouded in winter cold, this small town in Guizhou is already covered in golden rapeseed flowers filling the valley. Head here with your bestie to catch an early glimpse of spring’s beauty. This place was once named “the most beautiful spring in the world” by Global Geographic. The karst peak forest paired with the golden sea of flowers is breathtakingly beautiful~ Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers quietly bloom as early as December, flooding the fields, hills, and even scattered villages. The round, plump “steamed bun” peaks rise and fall amid the flower sea. The smoke curling gently around the Buyei ethnic villages adds a rustic charm. The unique karst landscape gives the flower sea a layered depth, plus unforgettable authentic local cuisine. Strolling, eating, and snapping photos with your bestie here is pure bliss… Wan Feng Lin, a typical karst landform in Guizhou, is made up of thousands of strange peaks. Mountains, rivers, farmlands, and villages form a picturesque scene. Xu Xiake once marveled, “Only here do peaks form a forest.” Walking here with your bestie feels like stepping into a pastoral poem~ 📝 Handy Tips for Traveling with Your Bestie: 1️⃣ There’s a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains. Dress warmly when going to shoot the sunrise with your bestie! Don’t catch a cold just for photos. 2️⃣ Take the scenic shuttle bus with your bestie to the mountaintop. The loop has 9 sightseeing spots, offering a panoramic view of the golden valley—amazing views guaranteed. 3️⃣ Or take a taxi with your bestie to General’s Bridge to rent an electric bike and explore slowly. For just 30 yuan, you can play all day, stopping and shooting at will to discover hidden gems. 4️⃣ The villages hide many charming cafes and local eateries. Be sure to try authentic dishes with your bestie, including the spring-exclusive rapeseed flower feast and the intangible cultural heritage “Sweat-Stealing Chicken”—so fresh it’ll blow your mind. 5️⃣ Best times for photos: 9 AM to capture the misty flower sea in a dreamy haze; after 4 PM for golden sunsets that bathe the flowers in a warm glow, creating a perfect atmosphere. 6️⃣ Don’t miss the Malin River Grand Canyon by the roadside. Just navigate to Malin River Dachaowo Parking Lot and check it out with your bestie. The canyon scenery is stunning. 7️⃣ Super convenient transportation: Xingyi local airport has direct flights; Guiyang high-speed train reaches Xingyi in 2 hours; a 20-minute taxi from the station gets you to the scenic area—traveling with your bestie is super easy. 8️⃣ 🌿Best season to visit: January to March (right now!), the peak blooming period for rapeseed flowers. Miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year. 9️⃣ Accommodation recommendation: Xihe Shanfang Homestay, very close to the scenic area. The owner cooks authentic food, and the window opens to the flower sea and peak forest. Stay here with your bestie and wake up to stunning views~

Prepared in advance, the whole family is escaping the cold winter for a warm new year. Taking my little girl to experience the wonders of Kashgar, learning while playing. Plus, it’s also a filming location for the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower." Taking creative photos makes you feel like a hero yourself.

Deep canyon, waterfalls, and streams—super spectacular Walking along the walkway is an excellent experience of exploring the earth’s core 🚶 Route options: Route A: Three Natural Bridges + Longshui Gorge Rift Route B: Three Natural Bridges + Fairy Mountain ⛽️ Energy-saving tips: · Take the sightseeing elevator (included in ticket) directly to the valley bottom; if the line is long, walk the trail · The whole route is downhill, wear non-slip shoes! · Exit electric cart 15 RMB/person (a blessing for the lazy) ✅ Pitfall avoidance guide: ▫️ Arrive at Chongqing North Station before 7 AM on holidays! Otherwise, wait times exceed 2 hours ▫️ Long queues for the sinkhole elevator; to save time, walk the trail instead ▫️ The rift is slippery inside, don’t wear white shoes! Wulong sinkhole and rift are really worth a visit. Though the journey is a bit tiring, seeing such beautiful scenery makes it all worthwhile.

#hellochristmas Just checked out from a staycay at The Standard Singapore and I’m already plotting my return. I booked a One Bedroom Suite and the moment I walked in, I was blown away — the ceilings are insanely high, giving the whole space this airy, architectural drama you don’t usually get in hotels here. The room design feels playful but luxe: bold colors, great textures, and little details that make you smile. Plenty of space for my pet dog too — and yes, they’re genuinely pet-friendly, not “pet-tolerant.” My dog was living her best life lounging around like she owned the place. Service was attentive without being stiff, and the location is perfect for a quick city escape. Whether you’re cuddling up with a furry friend or just treating yourself, this hotel nails the vibe: fun, stylish, and effortlessly comfortable. Highly recommend — especially if you’re a sucker for great design and pet-friendly stays #petfriendlystays

Between the morning mist and neon lights of Duxton, the Lion City layers the vibrant life of century-old shophouses with the sharp edge of the CBD into a living painting. Mondrian Singapore Duxton hotel lives in the blank space of this artwork. 🏙️ hotel environment · heartbeat of the old town and urban edge The hotel stands at the heart of Duxton Hill, directly above Maxwell MRT station. It’s a 5-minute walk to Chinatown and 10 minutes to Marina Bay. On one side are red-tiled shophouses, Gong Xi Road bar street, and Michelin-starred eateries; on the other is the cluster of central business district skyscrapers. A 6-meter-tall KAWS bronze sculpture marks the entrance. The Nanyang-style shophouse podium supports a modern tower, seamlessly blending old-town charm with urban vibrancy at the doorstep. 🖼️ unique design · Mondrian lines × Nanyang shophouse spirit Designed by Los Angeles’ Studio Carter, the 302 rooms and public areas reinterpret Dutch painter Mondrian’s geometric divisions and primary colors in a Singaporean context: arched walkways, louvered facades, and locally sourced materials echo traditional shophouses. Sculptural furniture and green accents highlight the “garden city” theme. Local artist André Wee’s work “Rojak” is featured in the rooms. The new tower is vertically stitched to a row of century-old shophouses restored to their original state, blending geometric coolness with tropical warmth. 🌃 stunning views · 180° outlook of old and new cityscapes Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper-floor rooms frame both sides of the Lion City: below are the densely packed century-old shophouses and Duxton Hill’s night lights; above, the CBD skyscrapers glow with golden edges at sunset. Pinnacle and Duxton room types offer a 180° view of shophouse rooftops and the city skyline. The Pinnacle Corner and Pinnacle Suite capture the full panorama of Duxton Hill from their bay windows. The 50-story sky garden at The (open to the public for SGD 5) is also visible, known as the “longest sky garden” on a public housing tower. 🛏️ rooms and dining · artistic living and global flavors · rooms: Signature city view rooms start at 22 m² with mirrored walls to expand space, equipped with Malin+Goetz toiletries and Lavazza coffee machines. Shophouse suites replicate Nanyang layouts with separate living rooms and vintage bay windows, connecting privately to the herb garden. The Mondrian Suite at the tower top offers panoramic views and private dining, living, and sleeping areas. · dining: Bottega di Carna, led by “world’s top butcher” Dario Cecchini, serves Italian meats with an open kitchen. Christina’s offers wood-fired dishes blending Mediterranean and Asian flavors, plus an all-day coffee and dining bar. Jungle Ballroom is a hidden tropical rainforest bar with Southeast Asian cocktails and a neon tunnel. Canyon Club rooftop pool bar channels 1970s Hollywood California vibes. 🎡 entertainment and leisure · sky mirror and artistic nightlife The 25th-floor T-shaped infinity pool floats in midair, reflecting old and new city views by day and resembling a slice of the starry sky by night. Canyon Club’s gym has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the CBD and offers 24-hour Technogym equipment. Slate bar and Jungle Ballroom disco host late-night events. The hotel regularly holds art launches and cutting-edge parties, making it easy to go from high-altitude relaxation to neighborhood nightlife with just one elevator ride. When the pool’s waterline blends into the sea of CBD lights, Mondrian Singapore Duxton folds geometry, color, and the Nanyang evening breeze into a letter to travelers. Staying here means living within the day and night folds where old and new Lion City meet.

A huge thangka hangs in the lobby, and around every corner are handcrafted Tibetan artifacts—copper lamps, Tibetan wood carvings, prayer wheels decorating the space. The collision of tradition and modernity creates a unique texture.

In the morning, the snow peaks framed by the window look like a natural painting; at dusk, the rosy glow fills the room—every moment is a scenic view.

Whether for vacation relaxation, cultural exploration, or photography check-ins, this place fulfills all your Shangri-La dreams. 🌟 Travel Tips 1. The plateau has large temperature differences between day and night; bring a light jacket; 2. Thangka and incense experiences require advance booking for a more comfortable off-peak experience; 3.

Escape the crowds this Chinese New Year and head to a UNESCO World Heritage city. If you're looking to 'Reverse Travel' during the Chinese New Year, avoiding big cities and bustling crowds, we recommend a small UNESCO-listed town in Guangdong. 📍 Kaiping, Guangdong This is the home of 'Kaiping Diaolou,' a collection of ancient towers built by overseas Chinese, blending Chinese, European, Gothic, and Byzantine styles. It's the only small town in Guangdong listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🗺️ 1-Day Itinerary (Mostly Free!) 📍 1. Cangdong Village (Free) A 700-year-old village with old brick walls full of historical traces. The best photo spot is by the pond in front of the village, where you can capture stunning reflections of the towers in the water. 📍 2. Zu Zhai Village (Free) Less crowded than Zili, with towers lined up like mansions. The intricate wood, stone carvings, and paintings are remarkable. Quiet, peaceful, and non-commercialized. 📍 3. Zhongjian Lou + Lianteng Lou (Free) Just a 10-minute walk apart. Zhongjian Lou is a 5-story Gothic-style building, while Lianteng Lou features a nearly 100-year-old Byzantine dome. Both are incredibly unique and give off a European vibe in China. 📍 4. Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang Bookstore (Free) One of the most beautiful bookstores in China, renovated from five old rice warehouses. Its minimalist design is airy and perfect for photography enthusiasts. 🚗 Getting There We recommend renting a car as the towers are scattered across several villages. You can easily cover them all in one day. From Guangzhou, it's about a 2-hour drive. 🏛️ Why Visit? The Diaolou were originally built to protect against bandits, featuring shooting holes, watchtowers, and thick walls. This architecture clearly showcases a blend of Western and Chinese cultures. Visiting will help you understand why it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 📍 Map Locations: Kaiping Diaolou and Villages Cangdong Village Zu Zhai Village Zhongjian Lou Lianteng Lou Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang

Hi, I’m travel lover Qirui. Last week, I visited Nanxun, a seriously underrated water town in Jiangnan. With its blue bricks, black tiles, small bridges, and gondola boats 🛶, it fulfills all your fantasies about Jiangnan. Nanxun is the true Jiangnan in my heart. ✅ Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ Baijianlou Building Complex Walk to Baijianlou Shanli Courtyard and take photos facing east. This is the most classic check-in spot at Baijianlou: “Without visiting Nanxun, you won’t know how dreamlike Jiangnan is.” 2️⃣ Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse Nanxun in the off-season is simply an ideal paradise. When you come to Nanxun, you can visit Xiaolian Manor, Jiayetang Library, Nanxun History Museum, Baijianlou, and also take a gondola ride. This time, I stayed at Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse in a room with a private hot spring pool and a projector. Next to the soaking pool is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon check-in, you’ll be served Nanxun’s special “Three Teas” ritual: sweet tea, salty tea, and clear tea, one after another—a unique Jiangnan ceremony. In the morning, you can leisurely stroll around the town. In the afternoon, order some Chinese afternoon tea in the century-old courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and tea aroma while daydreaming or chatting. In the evening, there’s a goodnight sweet soup—gentle and heartwarming. The guesthouse also offers a private chef who can arrange meals according to your needs. The living experience is a perfect 100💯. 3️⃣ Tongjin Bridge At sunset, the riverside becomes calm like a mirror. The Jiangnan buildings on both sides, pavilions, towers, and the thousand-year-old ancient bridge are all reflected on the water, as if projecting a thousand years of history. 4️⃣ Youli Grocery Store Sitting by the riverside grocery store is incredibly cozy. 5️⃣ Xiatang East Street There’s a Nanxun installation check-in wall here. It’s less crowded and great for photos. 6️⃣ Baishouke Noodle Shop The corner of this noodle shop in the ancient town is super photogenic. 🍜 Nanxun delicacies: double sauce noodles, Xunti (braised pork trotters), Three Teas, Xunsu cake, Dingsheng cake, Qianshi cake, Sock Bottom pastry, Huzhou big wontons... Stay in a century-old residence, soak in a private hot spring, enjoy tea and snacks, and stroll the ancient town—this is the proper way to experience a Jiangnan water town.

🌞 Singapore – Malacca The weather was great these two days, and the views along the way were nice. I got to see the sunrise, sunset, and even the starry sky (though it wasn’t super stunning because of the thick clouds 🌥️). Normally I get motion sickness quite easily, but this time the sea was calm, so I felt fine the whole trip! 🙌 🎭 What I Did I didn’t end up trying the rock climbing wall, ropes course, or water slides. The boarding process drained all my energy — I had to stand in line for over an hour and then sit waiting for another hour 🥲. In Malacca, we had to wait about an hour for the tender boat back to the ship. Exhausting! So most of the time onboard was just eating and relaxing in the room 😴. I watched both shows: Voyage of a Lover’s Dream (I think that’s what it was called?) — a mix of magic, acrobatics, and singing/dancing. It was really good! The female performers were gorgeous and super cool 💃, and there were plenty of buff guys showing off their muscles 👀. Fabulous Chan — very interactive, high-energy atmosphere. Multilingual songs, but honestly pretty obvious lip-syncing 😂. Some of the interactive moments might not be suitable for kids 🧒. 🍽️ What I Ate We had breakfast and dinner at the Lido buffet. The food wasn’t as bad (or as amazing) as some online reviews claim — just decent overall. There was always something we could eat. One meal had braised noodles that we really liked — totally something we’d eat regularly if it was near home. #gentingdream #singaporecruise #travel #cruiselife #seaview #cruise #malacca

You don’t always need to pay for an expensive observation deck to get an amazing Singapore sunset. One of my favourite ways to watch the city turn on its evening lights is CÉ LA VI Singapore, on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3. For S$38 per person, you get a premium drink — cocktail, wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option — and, most importantly, a proper place to sit and enjoy the view. You’re looking straight across Marina Bay, with the famous infinity pool and Singapore skyline in front of you. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than a typical observation deck. Come around 5:30–6:00 PM, grab a seat, watch the sunset, then stay as the city lights come on. There’s also music and a DJ later in the evening, so you can easily turn sunset into a few hours out. 📍 CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 💰 S$38 including one premium drink 🌅 Best time: around 5:30–6:00 PM 🎧 DJ from around 7:30 PM For me, this is one of those Singapore experiences where the price actually makes sense. Would you pay S$38 for this view + a drink? #singapore #singaporetravel #marinabaysands #celavi #singaporesunset #singaporenightlife #singaporetips #travelsingapore #marinabay #singaporeviews #singaporebars #singapore2026 #travelasia #tripmoments #harborviews

Travel far to the feast of a stunning beauty, to witness the magnificent face of Shangri-La. Leave your fatigue to Posun, and return your soul to the snow mountains and the wind~ Strolling among the clouds, Shangri-La's winter is quiet and gentle. At first glance upon checking into Posun Hotel, I was healed by the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the snowy plains stretch vast, and the distant Napa Lake sparkles with scattered light under the sun. The hotel's design perfectly blends with nature, especially the giant panoramic windows in the rooms. In the morning, watching the golden sunlight shine on the snowy mountains, and at night, sipping a drink by the warm light with a sky full of stars outside the window—this is the true vacation. Every casual shot is full of atmosphere, no filter needed. The hotel's restaurant has an excellent location; while enjoying exquisite Tibetan-style dinner, you can look up and see the distant snow mountains. The aroma of yak meat hotpot pairs perfectly with the snowy scenery outside the window. Remember to order a pot of warm butter tea—this is the right way to enjoy a winter trip to Shangri-La. TIPS: ▫️Winter in Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring enough warm clothes ▫️You can choose the hotel's arranged Napa Lake lake tour, avoid tourist groups, and better experience the tranquility of the grasslands ▫️Be sure to choose a room with a panoramic window; having breakfast while watching the sun shine on the golden mountains is pure happiness

First time staying at The RuMA Hotel , and I’m already loving this property. And congratulations again to the team on retaining One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. · What I enjoyed most was discovering the little stories behind the hotel. RuMa comes from rumah, the Malay word for “home”, and you can really see that idea carried through the design. From the Bird Cage at the entrance, inspired by the canary cages once used in KL’s tin mines, to the grand staircase and Bernard Chandran’s striking golden kebaya sculpture, there’s so much character throughout the property. · The location is another plus. Being right in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, with KLCC and Pavilion nearby, made exploring the city really convenient. · There was some time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities too, from the 25 metre infinity pool and 24 hour gym to UR SPA. And of course, I spent quite a bit of time eating and drinking my way around the property. · My timing worked out perfectly with @guum.sg dinner collaboration at @atas.kl , where @chef_louishan brings his modern Korean steakhouse to The RuMa until November. Over at SEVEN Lobby Bar, a gin-focused cocktail bar with more than 77 types of gin, I tried their three drink cocktail flight featuring local flavours like kaya and pandan. · Breakfast and lunch were both at ATAS, while afternoon tea at The LIBRARI featured their Chapters of RuMa afternoon tea, presented on a handcrafted congkak board, with each “chapter” bringing together savoury bites, sweets, scones and pralines. The following day, lunch at SANTAI by the infinity pool was a more relaxed affair, with the KL skyline right in front of us. · It was my first stay at The RuMa, and I can already see why The RuMa has such a following. As for the Deluxe King Suite I stayed in during this trip, I’ll leave that for the next post. #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #luxurystay #hotelstay #hotelexperience #travelmalaysia #malaysiatravel #visitmalaysia #kualalumpur #visitkl #explorekl #therumahotel

Autumn has arrived at Ikkoten, and the new seasonal omakase brings some of the richest flavours of the year to its intimate counter in Telok Ayer. The 15-course Hana experience moves beyond a sushi-focused omakase, reflecting Ikkoten’s kaiseki influence through a progression of raw and cooked courses. Autumn ingredients appear throughout, from cold matsutake chawanmushi to kabocha ebi shinjo with edamame purée and uni. The signature Chilean seabass with nori butter remains a memorable part of the meal, while A5 wagyu sukiyaki with foie gras, seasonal vegetables and shishito sauce brings a deeper richness before the sushi courses begin. Mongo ika, aka ebi, chutoro and buri lead into the signature negitoro uni monaka, combining creamy tuna and uni with a crisp shell. A light yuzu clear dashi resets the palate before an autumn chestnut Mont Blanc closes the experience. With only 12 seats around the counter, the setting keeps the focus on each course and its preparation. Ikkoten’s Autumn menus run from September through November, making this a seasonal experience with a limited window. Which autumn course would you want to try first? . . . . . . . #sgfood #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfoodblogger #singaporefood #singaporefoodie #singaporeeats #sgdining #telokayer #sgrestaurant #ikkoten #omakase #omakasesg #japanesefoodsg #kaiseki

If I could only recommend one place that feels like an alien planet in this lifetime, I would choose here without hesitation—Mangystau in Kazakhstan. 📱There is no internet, no signal here, only the wonders carved by the wind and time. And these geological wonders are on a countdown; weathering and erosion never stop, and they might disappear completely one day. 🌟Three must-see wonders: Bozshira Canyon Standing at the edge of the canyon, all you see are gray-white rock layers, like opening a gray poem from a geological history book. At sunset, the sun dyes the rock walls golden red, and standing there gives you the illusion that you’re not just looking at a landscape but listening to the silent sigh of this planet. Mysterious Stone Spheres Scattered across the desert are countless huge stone spheres, ranging from one meter to four or five meters in diameter. They lie abruptly on the Gobi desert like toys carelessly dropped by giants. Geologists say they are concretions formed by sedimentation, but seeing them with your own eyes still feels magical. Castle Valley Wind-eroded rock pillars rise from the ground like abandoned ancient castles. We camped here overnight under the most magnificent starry sky I’ve ever seen—no light pollution, and the Milky Way is so clear you can see the nebula structures. 🚙 Practical Tips: How to get there: You must hire an off-road vehicle and find a local guide, departing from Aktau city. There are no roads in the desert, only tire tracks, and you will definitely get lost if you drive yourself. Where to stay: You can only stay in tents or nomads’ yurts. No water, no electricity, no internet—conditions are tough, but this wilderness survival experience becomes the most unforgettable part of the trip. Important reminders: ① Huge temperature difference between day and night; short sleeves during the day and down jackets at night—bring enough warm clothes. ② Every hot meal and drink in the desert is precious—don’t waste them. ③ No signal throughout the trip; inform your family in advance not to worry. ④ Strong wind and sand—protect your camera and phone from dust. The impact of this trip is so strong that when I look through the photos, it still feels unreal. But honestly, what photos can capture is less than one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes. Mangystau is not a trendy tourist spot; there are no check-in points or cafes. It just quietly waits there for you to personally experience what it means when “Earth doesn’t feel like Earth.”

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

💛A golden palette spilled by the gods, a spring romance in the winter While most of the country is still shrouded in winter cold, this small town in Guizhou is already covered in golden rapeseed flowers filling the valley. Head here with your bestie to catch an early glimpse of spring’s beauty. This place was once named “the most beautiful spring in the world” by Global Geographic. The karst peak forest paired with the golden sea of flowers is breathtakingly beautiful~ Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers quietly bloom as early as December, flooding the fields, hills, and even scattered villages. The round, plump “steamed bun” peaks rise and fall amid the flower sea. The smoke curling gently around the Buyei ethnic villages adds a rustic charm. The unique karst landscape gives the flower sea a layered depth, plus unforgettable authentic local cuisine. Strolling, eating, and snapping photos with your bestie here is pure bliss… Wan Feng Lin, a typical karst landform in Guizhou, is made up of thousands of strange peaks. Mountains, rivers, farmlands, and villages form a picturesque scene. Xu Xiake once marveled, “Only here do peaks form a forest.” Walking here with your bestie feels like stepping into a pastoral poem~ 📝 Handy Tips for Traveling with Your Bestie: 1️⃣ There’s a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains. Dress warmly when going to shoot the sunrise with your bestie! Don’t catch a cold just for photos. 2️⃣ Take the scenic shuttle bus with your bestie to the mountaintop. The loop has 9 sightseeing spots, offering a panoramic view of the golden valley—amazing views guaranteed. 3️⃣ Or take a taxi with your bestie to General’s Bridge to rent an electric bike and explore slowly. For just 30 yuan, you can play all day, stopping and shooting at will to discover hidden gems. 4️⃣ The villages hide many charming cafes and local eateries. Be sure to try authentic dishes with your bestie, including the spring-exclusive rapeseed flower feast and the intangible cultural heritage “Sweat-Stealing Chicken”—so fresh it’ll blow your mind. 5️⃣ Best times for photos: 9 AM to capture the misty flower sea in a dreamy haze; after 4 PM for golden sunsets that bathe the flowers in a warm glow, creating a perfect atmosphere. 6️⃣ Don’t miss the Malin River Grand Canyon by the roadside. Just navigate to Malin River Dachaowo Parking Lot and check it out with your bestie. The canyon scenery is stunning. 7️⃣ Super convenient transportation: Xingyi local airport has direct flights; Guiyang high-speed train reaches Xingyi in 2 hours; a 20-minute taxi from the station gets you to the scenic area—traveling with your bestie is super easy. 8️⃣ 🌿Best season to visit: January to March (right now!), the peak blooming period for rapeseed flowers. Miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year. 9️⃣ Accommodation recommendation: Xihe Shanfang Homestay, very close to the scenic area. The owner cooks authentic food, and the window opens to the flower sea and peak forest. Stay here with your bestie and wake up to stunning views~

Prepared in advance, the whole family is escaping the cold winter for a warm new year. Taking my little girl to experience the wonders of Kashgar, learning while playing. Plus, it’s also a filming location for the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower." Taking creative photos makes you feel like a hero yourself.

Deep canyon, waterfalls, and streams—super spectacular Walking along the walkway is an excellent experience of exploring the earth’s core 🚶 Route options: Route A: Three Natural Bridges + Longshui Gorge Rift Route B: Three Natural Bridges + Fairy Mountain ⛽️ Energy-saving tips: · Take the sightseeing elevator (included in ticket) directly to the valley bottom; if the line is long, walk the trail · The whole route is downhill, wear non-slip shoes! · Exit electric cart 15 RMB/person (a blessing for the lazy) ✅ Pitfall avoidance guide: ▫️ Arrive at Chongqing North Station before 7 AM on holidays! Otherwise, wait times exceed 2 hours ▫️ Long queues for the sinkhole elevator; to save time, walk the trail instead ▫️ The rift is slippery inside, don’t wear white shoes! Wulong sinkhole and rift are really worth a visit. Though the journey is a bit tiring, seeing such beautiful scenery makes it all worthwhile.

#hellochristmas Just checked out from a staycay at The Standard Singapore and I’m already plotting my return. I booked a One Bedroom Suite and the moment I walked in, I was blown away — the ceilings are insanely high, giving the whole space this airy, architectural drama you don’t usually get in hotels here. The room design feels playful but luxe: bold colors, great textures, and little details that make you smile. Plenty of space for my pet dog too — and yes, they’re genuinely pet-friendly, not “pet-tolerant.” My dog was living her best life lounging around like she owned the place. Service was attentive without being stiff, and the location is perfect for a quick city escape. Whether you’re cuddling up with a furry friend or just treating yourself, this hotel nails the vibe: fun, stylish, and effortlessly comfortable. Highly recommend — especially if you’re a sucker for great design and pet-friendly stays #petfriendlystays

Between the morning mist and neon lights of Duxton, the Lion City layers the vibrant life of century-old shophouses with the sharp edge of the CBD into a living painting. Mondrian Singapore Duxton hotel lives in the blank space of this artwork. 🏙️ hotel environment · heartbeat of the old town and urban edge The hotel stands at the heart of Duxton Hill, directly above Maxwell MRT station. It’s a 5-minute walk to Chinatown and 10 minutes to Marina Bay. On one side are red-tiled shophouses, Gong Xi Road bar street, and Michelin-starred eateries; on the other is the cluster of central business district skyscrapers. A 6-meter-tall KAWS bronze sculpture marks the entrance. The Nanyang-style shophouse podium supports a modern tower, seamlessly blending old-town charm with urban vibrancy at the doorstep. 🖼️ unique design · Mondrian lines × Nanyang shophouse spirit Designed by Los Angeles’ Studio Carter, the 302 rooms and public areas reinterpret Dutch painter Mondrian’s geometric divisions and primary colors in a Singaporean context: arched walkways, louvered facades, and locally sourced materials echo traditional shophouses. Sculptural furniture and green accents highlight the “garden city” theme. Local artist André Wee’s work “Rojak” is featured in the rooms. The new tower is vertically stitched to a row of century-old shophouses restored to their original state, blending geometric coolness with tropical warmth. 🌃 stunning views · 180° outlook of old and new cityscapes Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper-floor rooms frame both sides of the Lion City: below are the densely packed century-old shophouses and Duxton Hill’s night lights; above, the CBD skyscrapers glow with golden edges at sunset. Pinnacle and Duxton room types offer a 180° view of shophouse rooftops and the city skyline. The Pinnacle Corner and Pinnacle Suite capture the full panorama of Duxton Hill from their bay windows. The 50-story sky garden at The (open to the public for SGD 5) is also visible, known as the “longest sky garden” on a public housing tower. 🛏️ rooms and dining · artistic living and global flavors · rooms: Signature city view rooms start at 22 m² with mirrored walls to expand space, equipped with Malin+Goetz toiletries and Lavazza coffee machines. Shophouse suites replicate Nanyang layouts with separate living rooms and vintage bay windows, connecting privately to the herb garden. The Mondrian Suite at the tower top offers panoramic views and private dining, living, and sleeping areas. · dining: Bottega di Carna, led by “world’s top butcher” Dario Cecchini, serves Italian meats with an open kitchen. Christina’s offers wood-fired dishes blending Mediterranean and Asian flavors, plus an all-day coffee and dining bar. Jungle Ballroom is a hidden tropical rainforest bar with Southeast Asian cocktails and a neon tunnel. Canyon Club rooftop pool bar channels 1970s Hollywood California vibes. 🎡 entertainment and leisure · sky mirror and artistic nightlife The 25th-floor T-shaped infinity pool floats in midair, reflecting old and new city views by day and resembling a slice of the starry sky by night. Canyon Club’s gym has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the CBD and offers 24-hour Technogym equipment. Slate bar and Jungle Ballroom disco host late-night events. The hotel regularly holds art launches and cutting-edge parties, making it easy to go from high-altitude relaxation to neighborhood nightlife with just one elevator ride. When the pool’s waterline blends into the sea of CBD lights, Mondrian Singapore Duxton folds geometry, color, and the Nanyang evening breeze into a letter to travelers. Staying here means living within the day and night folds where old and new Lion City meet.

A huge thangka hangs in the lobby, and around every corner are handcrafted Tibetan artifacts—copper lamps, Tibetan wood carvings, prayer wheels decorating the space. The collision of tradition and modernity creates a unique texture.

Whether for vacation relaxation, cultural exploration, or photography check-ins, this place fulfills all your Shangri-La dreams. 🌟 Travel Tips 1. The plateau has large temperature differences between day and night; bring a light jacket; 2. Thangka and incense experiences require advance booking for a more comfortable off-peak experience; 3.

Escape the crowds this Chinese New Year and head to a UNESCO World Heritage city. If you're looking to 'Reverse Travel' during the Chinese New Year, avoiding big cities and bustling crowds, we recommend a small UNESCO-listed town in Guangdong. 📍 Kaiping, Guangdong This is the home of 'Kaiping Diaolou,' a collection of ancient towers built by overseas Chinese, blending Chinese, European, Gothic, and Byzantine styles. It's the only small town in Guangdong listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🗺️ 1-Day Itinerary (Mostly Free!) 📍 1. Cangdong Village (Free) A 700-year-old village with old brick walls full of historical traces. The best photo spot is by the pond in front of the village, where you can capture stunning reflections of the towers in the water. 📍 2. Zu Zhai Village (Free) Less crowded than Zili, with towers lined up like mansions. The intricate wood, stone carvings, and paintings are remarkable. Quiet, peaceful, and non-commercialized. 📍 3. Zhongjian Lou + Lianteng Lou (Free) Just a 10-minute walk apart. Zhongjian Lou is a 5-story Gothic-style building, while Lianteng Lou features a nearly 100-year-old Byzantine dome. Both are incredibly unique and give off a European vibe in China. 📍 4. Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang Bookstore (Free) One of the most beautiful bookstores in China, renovated from five old rice warehouses. Its minimalist design is airy and perfect for photography enthusiasts. 🚗 Getting There We recommend renting a car as the towers are scattered across several villages. You can easily cover them all in one day. From Guangzhou, it's about a 2-hour drive. 🏛️ Why Visit? The Diaolou were originally built to protect against bandits, featuring shooting holes, watchtowers, and thick walls. This architecture clearly showcases a blend of Western and Chinese cultures. Visiting will help you understand why it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 📍 Map Locations: Kaiping Diaolou and Villages Cangdong Village Zu Zhai Village Zhongjian Lou Lianteng Lou Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang

This seamless connectivity allows you to explore Singapore's vibrant attractions without the hassle of long commutes, ensuring you save both time and money.

Hi, I’m travel lover Qirui. Last week, I visited Nanxun, a seriously underrated water town in Jiangnan. With its blue bricks, black tiles, small bridges, and gondola boats 🛶, it fulfills all your fantasies about Jiangnan. Nanxun is the true Jiangnan in my heart. ✅ Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ Baijianlou Building Complex Walk to Baijianlou Shanli Courtyard and take photos facing east. This is the most classic check-in spot at Baijianlou: “Without visiting Nanxun, you won’t know how dreamlike Jiangnan is.” 2️⃣ Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse Nanxun in the off-season is simply an ideal paradise. When you come to Nanxun, you can visit Xiaolian Manor, Jiayetang Library, Nanxun History Museum, Baijianlou, and also take a gondola ride. This time, I stayed at Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse in a room with a private hot spring pool and a projector. Next to the soaking pool is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon check-in, you’ll be served Nanxun’s special “Three Teas” ritual: sweet tea, salty tea, and clear tea, one after another—a unique Jiangnan ceremony. In the morning, you can leisurely stroll around the town. In the afternoon, order some Chinese afternoon tea in the century-old courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and tea aroma while daydreaming or chatting. In the evening, there’s a goodnight sweet soup—gentle and heartwarming. The guesthouse also offers a private chef who can arrange meals according to your needs. The living experience is a perfect 100💯. 3️⃣ Tongjin Bridge At sunset, the riverside becomes calm like a mirror. The Jiangnan buildings on both sides, pavilions, towers, and the thousand-year-old ancient bridge are all reflected on the water, as if projecting a thousand years of history. 4️⃣ Youli Grocery Store Sitting by the riverside grocery store is incredibly cozy. 5️⃣ Xiatang East Street There’s a Nanxun installation check-in wall here. It’s less crowded and great for photos. 6️⃣ Baishouke Noodle Shop The corner of this noodle shop in the ancient town is super photogenic. 🍜 Nanxun delicacies: double sauce noodles, Xunti (braised pork trotters), Three Teas, Xunsu cake, Dingsheng cake, Qianshi cake, Sock Bottom pastry, Huzhou big wontons... Stay in a century-old residence, soak in a private hot spring, enjoy tea and snacks, and stroll the ancient town—this is the proper way to experience a Jiangnan water town.

🌞 Singapore – Malacca The weather was great these two days, and the views along the way were nice. I got to see the sunrise, sunset, and even the starry sky (though it wasn’t super stunning because of the thick clouds 🌥️). Normally I get motion sickness quite easily, but this time the sea was calm, so I felt fine the whole trip! 🙌 🎭 What I Did I didn’t end up trying the rock climbing wall, ropes course, or water slides. The boarding process drained all my energy — I had to stand in line for over an hour and then sit waiting for another hour 🥲. In Malacca, we had to wait about an hour for the tender boat back to the ship. Exhausting! So most of the time onboard was just eating and relaxing in the room 😴. I watched both shows: Voyage of a Lover’s Dream (I think that’s what it was called?) — a mix of magic, acrobatics, and singing/dancing. It was really good! The female performers were gorgeous and super cool 💃, and there were plenty of buff guys showing off their muscles 👀. Fabulous Chan — very interactive, high-energy atmosphere. Multilingual songs, but honestly pretty obvious lip-syncing 😂. Some of the interactive moments might not be suitable for kids 🧒. 🍽️ What I Ate We had breakfast and dinner at the Lido buffet. The food wasn’t as bad (or as amazing) as some online reviews claim — just decent overall. There was always something we could eat. One meal had braised noodles that we really liked — totally something we’d eat regularly if it was near home. #gentingdream #singaporecruise #travel #cruiselife #seaview #cruise #malacca

You don’t always need to pay for an expensive observation deck to get an amazing Singapore sunset. One of my favourite ways to watch the city turn on its evening lights is CÉ LA VI Singapore, on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3. For S$38 per person, you get a premium drink — cocktail, wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option — and, most importantly, a proper place to sit and enjoy the view. You’re looking straight across Marina Bay, with the famous infinity pool and Singapore skyline in front of you. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than a typical observation deck. Come around 5:30–6:00 PM, grab a seat, watch the sunset, then stay as the city lights come on. There’s also music and a DJ later in the evening, so you can easily turn sunset into a few hours out. 📍 CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 💰 S$38 including one premium drink 🌅 Best time: around 5:30–6:00 PM 🎧 DJ from around 7:30 PM For me, this is one of those Singapore experiences where the price actually makes sense. Would you pay S$38 for this view + a drink? #singapore #singaporetravel #marinabaysands #celavi #singaporesunset #singaporenightlife #singaporetips #travelsingapore #marinabay #singaporeviews #singaporebars #singapore2026 #travelasia #tripmoments #harborviews

Travel far to the feast of a stunning beauty, to witness the magnificent face of Shangri-La. Leave your fatigue to Posun, and return your soul to the snow mountains and the wind~ Strolling among the clouds, Shangri-La's winter is quiet and gentle. At first glance upon checking into Posun Hotel, I was healed by the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the snowy plains stretch vast, and the distant Napa Lake sparkles with scattered light under the sun. The hotel's design perfectly blends with nature, especially the giant panoramic windows in the rooms. In the morning, watching the golden sunlight shine on the snowy mountains, and at night, sipping a drink by the warm light with a sky full of stars outside the window—this is the true vacation. Every casual shot is full of atmosphere, no filter needed. The hotel's restaurant has an excellent location; while enjoying exquisite Tibetan-style dinner, you can look up and see the distant snow mountains. The aroma of yak meat hotpot pairs perfectly with the snowy scenery outside the window. Remember to order a pot of warm butter tea—this is the right way to enjoy a winter trip to Shangri-La. TIPS: ▫️Winter in Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring enough warm clothes ▫️You can choose the hotel's arranged Napa Lake lake tour, avoid tourist groups, and better experience the tranquility of the grasslands ▫️Be sure to choose a room with a panoramic window; having breakfast while watching the sun shine on the golden mountains is pure happiness

First time staying at The RuMA Hotel , and I’m already loving this property. And congratulations again to the team on retaining One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. · What I enjoyed most was discovering the little stories behind the hotel. RuMa comes from rumah, the Malay word for “home”, and you can really see that idea carried through the design. From the Bird Cage at the entrance, inspired by the canary cages once used in KL’s tin mines, to the grand staircase and Bernard Chandran’s striking golden kebaya sculpture, there’s so much character throughout the property. · The location is another plus. Being right in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, with KLCC and Pavilion nearby, made exploring the city really convenient. · There was some time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities too, from the 25 metre infinity pool and 24 hour gym to UR SPA. And of course, I spent quite a bit of time eating and drinking my way around the property. · My timing worked out perfectly with @guum.sg dinner collaboration at @atas.kl , where @chef_louishan brings his modern Korean steakhouse to The RuMa until November. Over at SEVEN Lobby Bar, a gin-focused cocktail bar with more than 77 types of gin, I tried their three drink cocktail flight featuring local flavours like kaya and pandan. · Breakfast and lunch were both at ATAS, while afternoon tea at The LIBRARI featured their Chapters of RuMa afternoon tea, presented on a handcrafted congkak board, with each “chapter” bringing together savoury bites, sweets, scones and pralines. The following day, lunch at SANTAI by the infinity pool was a more relaxed affair, with the KL skyline right in front of us. · It was my first stay at The RuMa, and I can already see why The RuMa has such a following. As for the Deluxe King Suite I stayed in during this trip, I’ll leave that for the next post. #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #luxurystay #hotelstay #hotelexperience #travelmalaysia #malaysiatravel #visitmalaysia #kualalumpur #visitkl #explorekl #therumahotel

Autumn has arrived at Ikkoten, and the new seasonal omakase brings some of the richest flavours of the year to its intimate counter in Telok Ayer. The 15-course Hana experience moves beyond a sushi-focused omakase, reflecting Ikkoten’s kaiseki influence through a progression of raw and cooked courses. Autumn ingredients appear throughout, from cold matsutake chawanmushi to kabocha ebi shinjo with edamame purée and uni. The signature Chilean seabass with nori butter remains a memorable part of the meal, while A5 wagyu sukiyaki with foie gras, seasonal vegetables and shishito sauce brings a deeper richness before the sushi courses begin. Mongo ika, aka ebi, chutoro and buri lead into the signature negitoro uni monaka, combining creamy tuna and uni with a crisp shell. A light yuzu clear dashi resets the palate before an autumn chestnut Mont Blanc closes the experience. With only 12 seats around the counter, the setting keeps the focus on each course and its preparation. Ikkoten’s Autumn menus run from September through November, making this a seasonal experience with a limited window. Which autumn course would you want to try first? . . . . . . . #sgfood #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfoodblogger #singaporefood #singaporefoodie #singaporeeats #sgdining #telokayer #sgrestaurant #ikkoten #omakase #omakasesg #japanesefoodsg #kaiseki

If I could only recommend one place that feels like an alien planet in this lifetime, I would choose here without hesitation—Mangystau in Kazakhstan. 📱There is no internet, no signal here, only the wonders carved by the wind and time. And these geological wonders are on a countdown; weathering and erosion never stop, and they might disappear completely one day. 🌟Three must-see wonders: Bozshira Canyon Standing at the edge of the canyon, all you see are gray-white rock layers, like opening a gray poem from a geological history book. At sunset, the sun dyes the rock walls golden red, and standing there gives you the illusion that you’re not just looking at a landscape but listening to the silent sigh of this planet. Mysterious Stone Spheres Scattered across the desert are countless huge stone spheres, ranging from one meter to four or five meters in diameter. They lie abruptly on the Gobi desert like toys carelessly dropped by giants. Geologists say they are concretions formed by sedimentation, but seeing them with your own eyes still feels magical. Castle Valley Wind-eroded rock pillars rise from the ground like abandoned ancient castles. We camped here overnight under the most magnificent starry sky I’ve ever seen—no light pollution, and the Milky Way is so clear you can see the nebula structures. 🚙 Practical Tips: How to get there: You must hire an off-road vehicle and find a local guide, departing from Aktau city. There are no roads in the desert, only tire tracks, and you will definitely get lost if you drive yourself. Where to stay: You can only stay in tents or nomads’ yurts. No water, no electricity, no internet—conditions are tough, but this wilderness survival experience becomes the most unforgettable part of the trip. Important reminders: ① Huge temperature difference between day and night; short sleeves during the day and down jackets at night—bring enough warm clothes. ② Every hot meal and drink in the desert is precious—don’t waste them. ③ No signal throughout the trip; inform your family in advance not to worry. ④ Strong wind and sand—protect your camera and phone from dust. The impact of this trip is so strong that when I look through the photos, it still feels unreal. But honestly, what photos can capture is less than one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes. Mangystau is not a trendy tourist spot; there are no check-in points or cafes. It just quietly waits there for you to personally experience what it means when “Earth doesn’t feel like Earth.”

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

💛A golden palette spilled by the gods, a spring romance in the winter While most of the country is still shrouded in winter cold, this small town in Guizhou is already covered in golden rapeseed flowers filling the valley. Head here with your bestie to catch an early glimpse of spring’s beauty. This place was once named “the most beautiful spring in the world” by Global Geographic. The karst peak forest paired with the golden sea of flowers is breathtakingly beautiful~ Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers quietly bloom as early as December, flooding the fields, hills, and even scattered villages. The round, plump “steamed bun” peaks rise and fall amid the flower sea. The smoke curling gently around the Buyei ethnic villages adds a rustic charm. The unique karst landscape gives the flower sea a layered depth, plus unforgettable authentic local cuisine. Strolling, eating, and snapping photos with your bestie here is pure bliss… Wan Feng Lin, a typical karst landform in Guizhou, is made up of thousands of strange peaks. Mountains, rivers, farmlands, and villages form a picturesque scene. Xu Xiake once marveled, “Only here do peaks form a forest.” Walking here with your bestie feels like stepping into a pastoral poem~ 📝 Handy Tips for Traveling with Your Bestie: 1️⃣ There’s a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains. Dress warmly when going to shoot the sunrise with your bestie! Don’t catch a cold just for photos. 2️⃣ Take the scenic shuttle bus with your bestie to the mountaintop. The loop has 9 sightseeing spots, offering a panoramic view of the golden valley—amazing views guaranteed. 3️⃣ Or take a taxi with your bestie to General’s Bridge to rent an electric bike and explore slowly. For just 30 yuan, you can play all day, stopping and shooting at will to discover hidden gems. 4️⃣ The villages hide many charming cafes and local eateries. Be sure to try authentic dishes with your bestie, including the spring-exclusive rapeseed flower feast and the intangible cultural heritage “Sweat-Stealing Chicken”—so fresh it’ll blow your mind. 5️⃣ Best times for photos: 9 AM to capture the misty flower sea in a dreamy haze; after 4 PM for golden sunsets that bathe the flowers in a warm glow, creating a perfect atmosphere. 6️⃣ Don’t miss the Malin River Grand Canyon by the roadside. Just navigate to Malin River Dachaowo Parking Lot and check it out with your bestie. The canyon scenery is stunning. 7️⃣ Super convenient transportation: Xingyi local airport has direct flights; Guiyang high-speed train reaches Xingyi in 2 hours; a 20-minute taxi from the station gets you to the scenic area—traveling with your bestie is super easy. 8️⃣ 🌿Best season to visit: January to March (right now!), the peak blooming period for rapeseed flowers. Miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year. 9️⃣ Accommodation recommendation: Xihe Shanfang Homestay, very close to the scenic area. The owner cooks authentic food, and the window opens to the flower sea and peak forest. Stay here with your bestie and wake up to stunning views~

Otherwise, wait times exceed 2 hours ▫️ Long queues for the sinkhole elevator; to save time, walk the trail instead ▫️ The rift is slippery inside, don’t wear white shoes! Wulong sinkhole and rift are really worth a visit. Though the journey is a bit tiring, seeing such beautiful scenery makes it all worthwhile.

#hellochristmas Just checked out from a staycay at The Standard Singapore and I’m already plotting my return. I booked a One Bedroom Suite and the moment I walked in, I was blown away — the ceilings are insanely high, giving the whole space this airy, architectural drama you don’t usually get in hotels here. The room design feels playful but luxe: bold colors, great textures, and little details that make you smile. Plenty of space for my pet dog too — and yes, they’re genuinely pet-friendly, not “pet-tolerant.” My dog was living her best life lounging around like she owned the place. Service was attentive without being stiff, and the location is perfect for a quick city escape. Whether you’re cuddling up with a furry friend or just treating yourself, this hotel nails the vibe: fun, stylish, and effortlessly comfortable. Highly recommend — especially if you’re a sucker for great design and pet-friendly stays #petfriendlystays

Between the morning mist and neon lights of Duxton, the Lion City layers the vibrant life of century-old shophouses with the sharp edge of the CBD into a living painting. Mondrian Singapore Duxton hotel lives in the blank space of this artwork. 🏙️ hotel environment · heartbeat of the old town and urban edge The hotel stands at the heart of Duxton Hill, directly above Maxwell MRT station. It’s a 5-minute walk to Chinatown and 10 minutes to Marina Bay. On one side are red-tiled shophouses, Gong Xi Road bar street, and Michelin-starred eateries; on the other is the cluster of central business district skyscrapers. A 6-meter-tall KAWS bronze sculpture marks the entrance. The Nanyang-style shophouse podium supports a modern tower, seamlessly blending old-town charm with urban vibrancy at the doorstep. 🖼️ unique design · Mondrian lines × Nanyang shophouse spirit Designed by Los Angeles’ Studio Carter, the 302 rooms and public areas reinterpret Dutch painter Mondrian’s geometric divisions and primary colors in a Singaporean context: arched walkways, louvered facades, and locally sourced materials echo traditional shophouses. Sculptural furniture and green accents highlight the “garden city” theme. Local artist André Wee’s work “Rojak” is featured in the rooms. The new tower is vertically stitched to a row of century-old shophouses restored to their original state, blending geometric coolness with tropical warmth. 🌃 stunning views · 180° outlook of old and new cityscapes Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper-floor rooms frame both sides of the Lion City: below are the densely packed century-old shophouses and Duxton Hill’s night lights; above, the CBD skyscrapers glow with golden edges at sunset. Pinnacle and Duxton room types offer a 180° view of shophouse rooftops and the city skyline. The Pinnacle Corner and Pinnacle Suite capture the full panorama of Duxton Hill from their bay windows. The 50-story sky garden at The (open to the public for SGD 5) is also visible, known as the “longest sky garden” on a public housing tower. 🛏️ rooms and dining · artistic living and global flavors · rooms: Signature city view rooms start at 22 m² with mirrored walls to expand space, equipped with Malin+Goetz toiletries and Lavazza coffee machines. Shophouse suites replicate Nanyang layouts with separate living rooms and vintage bay windows, connecting privately to the herb garden. The Mondrian Suite at the tower top offers panoramic views and private dining, living, and sleeping areas. · dining: Bottega di Carna, led by “world’s top butcher” Dario Cecchini, serves Italian meats with an open kitchen. Christina’s offers wood-fired dishes blending Mediterranean and Asian flavors, plus an all-day coffee and dining bar. Jungle Ballroom is a hidden tropical rainforest bar with Southeast Asian cocktails and a neon tunnel. Canyon Club rooftop pool bar channels 1970s Hollywood California vibes. 🎡 entertainment and leisure · sky mirror and artistic nightlife The 25th-floor T-shaped infinity pool floats in midair, reflecting old and new city views by day and resembling a slice of the starry sky by night. Canyon Club’s gym has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the CBD and offers 24-hour Technogym equipment. Slate bar and Jungle Ballroom disco host late-night events. The hotel regularly holds art launches and cutting-edge parties, making it easy to go from high-altitude relaxation to neighborhood nightlife with just one elevator ride.

A huge thangka hangs in the lobby, and around every corner are handcrafted Tibetan artifacts—copper lamps, Tibetan wood carvings, prayer wheels decorating the space. The collision of tradition and modernity creates a unique texture. The public tea room features warm natural wood textures; brew a pot of ancient tree black tea, watch the grasslands ripple and clouds drift outside the window, and your restless heart instantly calms. The cloud-top restaurant on the fifth floor boasts a full view of the snowy mountains. At night, look up to see the dazzling Milky Way at 3,300 meters elevation—dining, stargazing, or daydreaming here is pure romance. 🏔️ Luxurious and Comfortable Rooms, Dreaming with Snowy Mountains The hotel rooms fully embrace Tibetan style and modern comfort. The whole house oxygen supply system eases altitude discomfort, while soft carpets and delicate bedding bring the warmth of home. The bathtub facing the snowy mountains is the highlight of the room—soak in hot water while gazing at Shika Snow Mountain. In the morning, the snow peaks framed by the window look like a natural painting; at dusk, the rosy glow fills the room—every moment is a scenic view. Whether traveling with family, as a couple, or solo, the variety of room types meets all needs with thoughtful details. 🎨 Immersive Tibetan Experience, Be a Plateau Artisan for a Day Posen is more than just a place to stay; it’s a Tibetan cultural experience center where you can feel authentic Tibetan customs without traveling far: ✅ Thangka Painting Class: Learn step-by-step from intangible cultural heritage masters, sketch gold lines, fill in colors, and complete your own exclusive thangka; ✅ Tibetan Incense Making: Mix cedar and Tibetan herbs into incense clay to create your own Tibetan incense and take the fragrance of the plateau with you; ✅ Free Tibetan Costume Experience: The hotel provides exquisite Tibetan clothing and accessories for atmospheric photo shoots on the grassland, courtyard, and lobby—easy to get stunning shots; ✅ Grassland Horse Riding: Start from the hotel’s back door, guided by the butler across meadows and streams, measuring Shangri-La at the pace of the ancient Tea Horse Road. 📍 Prime Location, Convenient Travel Without Rush The hotel is located in the heart of Yila Grassland, along the shore of Napa Lake. You can walk to the Napa Lake loop road, and a 5-minute drive brings you to breathtaking views of grasslands and lakes. It’s only 10-15 minutes by car to Dukezong Ancient Town and Songzanlin Monastery, and the airport is also very accessible. Plenty of free parking makes self-driving stress-free, balancing the tranquility of a secret realm with travel convenience. ✨ Thoughtful Service, Unlock a Perfect Journey From check-in to check-out, Posen’s service is always warm and meticulous: 24-hour front desk response, free plateau travel guides, luggage handling, room cleaning, and more—everything you need for a worry-free and secure plateau trip. Whether for vacation relaxation, cultural exploration, or photography check-ins, this place fulfills all your Shangri-La dreams. 🌟 Travel Tips 1. The plateau has large temperature differences between day and night; bring a light jacket; 2. Thangka and incense experiences require advance booking for a more comfortable off-peak experience; 3. The best stargazing time is from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM—remember to keep warm. Say goodbye to rushing and come to Shangri-La Posen Hotel. Give your time to snowy mountains, grasslands, starry skies, and Tibetan aesthetics. At 3,300 meters elevation, encounter a healing journey that slows down time.

Escape the crowds this Chinese New Year and head to a UNESCO World Heritage city. If you're looking to 'Reverse Travel' during the Chinese New Year, avoiding big cities and bustling crowds, we recommend a small UNESCO-listed town in Guangdong. 📍 Kaiping, Guangdong This is the home of 'Kaiping Diaolou,' a collection of ancient towers built by overseas Chinese, blending Chinese, European, Gothic, and Byzantine styles. It's the only small town in Guangdong listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🗺️ 1-Day Itinerary (Mostly Free!) 📍 1. Cangdong Village (Free) A 700-year-old village with old brick walls full of historical traces. The best photo spot is by the pond in front of the village, where you can capture stunning reflections of the towers in the water. 📍 2. Zu Zhai Village (Free) Less crowded than Zili, with towers lined up like mansions. The intricate wood, stone carvings, and paintings are remarkable. Quiet, peaceful, and non-commercialized. 📍 3. Zhongjian Lou + Lianteng Lou (Free) Just a 10-minute walk apart. Zhongjian Lou is a 5-story Gothic-style building, while Lianteng Lou features a nearly 100-year-old Byzantine dome. Both are incredibly unique and give off a European vibe in China. 📍 4. Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang Bookstore (Free) One of the most beautiful bookstores in China, renovated from five old rice warehouses. Its minimalist design is airy and perfect for photography enthusiasts. 🚗 Getting There We recommend renting a car as the towers are scattered across several villages. You can easily cover them all in one day. From Guangzhou, it's about a 2-hour drive. 🏛️ Why Visit? The Diaolou were originally built to protect against bandits, featuring shooting holes, watchtowers, and thick walls. This architecture clearly showcases a blend of Western and Chinese cultures. Visiting will help you understand why it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 📍 Map Locations: Kaiping Diaolou and Villages Cangdong Village Zu Zhai Village Zhongjian Lou Lianteng Lou Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang

Hi, I’m travel lover Qirui. Last week, I visited Nanxun, a seriously underrated water town in Jiangnan. With its blue bricks, black tiles, small bridges, and gondola boats 🛶, it fulfills all your fantasies about Jiangnan. Nanxun is the true Jiangnan in my heart. ✅ Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ Baijianlou Building Complex Walk to Baijianlou Shanli Courtyard and take photos facing east. This is the most classic check-in spot at Baijianlou: “Without visiting Nanxun, you won’t know how dreamlike Jiangnan is.” 2️⃣ Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse Nanxun in the off-season is simply an ideal paradise. When you come to Nanxun, you can visit Xiaolian Manor, Jiayetang Library, Nanxun History Museum, Baijianlou, and also take a gondola ride. This time, I stayed at Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse in a room with a private hot spring pool and a projector. Next to the soaking pool is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon check-in, you’ll be served Nanxun’s special “Three Teas” ritual: sweet tea, salty tea, and clear tea, one after another—a unique Jiangnan ceremony. In the morning, you can leisurely stroll around the town. In the afternoon, order some Chinese afternoon tea in the century-old courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and tea aroma while daydreaming or chatting. In the evening, there’s a goodnight sweet soup—gentle and heartwarming. The guesthouse also offers a private chef who can arrange meals according to your needs. The living experience is a perfect 100💯. 3️⃣ Tongjin Bridge At sunset, the riverside becomes calm like a mirror. The Jiangnan buildings on both sides, pavilions, towers, and the thousand-year-old ancient bridge are all reflected on the water, as if projecting a thousand years of history. 4️⃣ Youli Grocery Store Sitting by the riverside grocery store is incredibly cozy. 5️⃣ Xiatang East Street There’s a Nanxun installation check-in wall here. It’s less crowded and great for photos. 6️⃣ Baishouke Noodle Shop The corner of this noodle shop in the ancient town is super photogenic. 🍜 Nanxun delicacies: double sauce noodles, Xunti (braised pork trotters), Three Teas, Xunsu cake, Dingsheng cake, Qianshi cake, Sock Bottom pastry, Huzhou big wontons... Stay in a century-old residence, soak in a private hot spring, enjoy tea and snacks, and stroll the ancient town—this is the proper way to experience a Jiangnan water town.

🌞 Singapore – Malacca The weather was great these two days, and the views along the way were nice. I got to see the sunrise, sunset, and even the starry sky (though it wasn’t super stunning because of the thick clouds 🌥️). Normally I get motion sickness quite easily, but this time the sea was calm, so I felt fine the whole trip! 🙌 🎭 What I Did I didn’t end up trying the rock climbing wall, ropes course, or water slides. The boarding process drained all my energy — I had to stand in line for over an hour and then sit waiting for another hour 🥲. In Malacca, we had to wait about an hour for the tender boat back to the ship. Exhausting! So most of the time onboard was just eating and relaxing in the room 😴. I watched both shows: Voyage of a Lover’s Dream (I think that’s what it was called?) — a mix of magic, acrobatics, and singing/dancing. It was really good! The female performers were gorgeous and super cool 💃, and there were plenty of buff guys showing off their muscles 👀. Fabulous Chan — very interactive, high-energy atmosphere. Multilingual songs, but honestly pretty obvious lip-syncing 😂. Some of the interactive moments might not be suitable for kids 🧒. 🍽️ What I Ate We had breakfast and dinner at the Lido buffet. The food wasn’t as bad (or as amazing) as some online reviews claim — just decent overall. There was always something we could eat. One meal had braised noodles that we really liked — totally something we’d eat regularly if it was near home. #gentingdream #singaporecruise #travel #cruiselife #seaview #cruise #malacca

You don’t always need to pay for an expensive observation deck to get an amazing Singapore sunset. One of my favourite ways to watch the city turn on its evening lights is CÉ LA VI Singapore, on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3. For S$38 per person, you get a premium drink — cocktail, wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option — and, most importantly, a proper place to sit and enjoy the view. You’re looking straight across Marina Bay, with the famous infinity pool and Singapore skyline in front of you. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than a typical observation deck. Come around 5:30–6:00 PM, grab a seat, watch the sunset, then stay as the city lights come on. There’s also music and a DJ later in the evening, so you can easily turn sunset into a few hours out. 📍 CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 💰 S$38 including one premium drink 🌅 Best time: around 5:30–6:00 PM 🎧 DJ from around 7:30 PM For me, this is one of those Singapore experiences where the price actually makes sense. Would you pay S$38 for this view + a drink? #singapore #singaporetravel #marinabaysands #celavi #singaporesunset #singaporenightlife #singaporetips #travelsingapore #marinabay #singaporeviews #singaporebars #singapore2026 #travelasia #tripmoments #harborviews

Travel far to the feast of a stunning beauty, to witness the magnificent face of Shangri-La. Leave your fatigue to Posun, and return your soul to the snow mountains and the wind~ Strolling among the clouds, Shangri-La's winter is quiet and gentle. At first glance upon checking into Posun Hotel, I was healed by the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the snowy plains stretch vast, and the distant Napa Lake sparkles with scattered light under the sun. The hotel's design perfectly blends with nature, especially the giant panoramic windows in the rooms. In the morning, watching the golden sunlight shine on the snowy mountains, and at night, sipping a drink by the warm light with a sky full of stars outside the window—this is the true vacation. Every casual shot is full of atmosphere, no filter needed. The hotel's restaurant has an excellent location; while enjoying exquisite Tibetan-style dinner, you can look up and see the distant snow mountains. The aroma of yak meat hotpot pairs perfectly with the snowy scenery outside the window. Remember to order a pot of warm butter tea—this is the right way to enjoy a winter trip to Shangri-La. TIPS: ▫️Winter in Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring enough warm clothes ▫️You can choose the hotel's arranged Napa Lake lake tour, avoid tourist groups, and better experience the tranquility of the grasslands ▫️Be sure to choose a room with a panoramic window; having breakfast while watching the sun shine on the golden mountains is pure happiness

First time staying at The RuMA Hotel , and I’m already loving this property. And congratulations again to the team on retaining One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. · What I enjoyed most was discovering the little stories behind the hotel. RuMa comes from rumah, the Malay word for “home”, and you can really see that idea carried through the design. From the Bird Cage at the entrance, inspired by the canary cages once used in KL’s tin mines, to the grand staircase and Bernard Chandran’s striking golden kebaya sculpture, there’s so much character throughout the property. · The location is another plus. Being right in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, with KLCC and Pavilion nearby, made exploring the city really convenient. · There was some time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities too, from the 25 metre infinity pool and 24 hour gym to UR SPA. And of course, I spent quite a bit of time eating and drinking my way around the property. · My timing worked out perfectly with @guum.sg dinner collaboration at @atas.kl , where @chef_louishan brings his modern Korean steakhouse to The RuMa until November. Over at SEVEN Lobby Bar, a gin-focused cocktail bar with more than 77 types of gin, I tried their three drink cocktail flight featuring local flavours like kaya and pandan. · Breakfast and lunch were both at ATAS, while afternoon tea at The LIBRARI featured their Chapters of RuMa afternoon tea, presented on a handcrafted congkak board, with each “chapter” bringing together savoury bites, sweets, scones and pralines. The following day, lunch at SANTAI by the infinity pool was a more relaxed affair, with the KL skyline right in front of us. · It was my first stay at The RuMa, and I can already see why The RuMa has such a following. As for the Deluxe King Suite I stayed in during this trip, I’ll leave that for the next post. #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #luxurystay #hotelstay #hotelexperience #travelmalaysia #malaysiatravel #visitmalaysia #kualalumpur #visitkl #explorekl #therumahotel

Autumn has arrived at Ikkoten, and the new seasonal omakase brings some of the richest flavours of the year to its intimate counter in Telok Ayer. The 15-course Hana experience moves beyond a sushi-focused omakase, reflecting Ikkoten’s kaiseki influence through a progression of raw and cooked courses. Autumn ingredients appear throughout, from cold matsutake chawanmushi to kabocha ebi shinjo with edamame purée and uni. The signature Chilean seabass with nori butter remains a memorable part of the meal, while A5 wagyu sukiyaki with foie gras, seasonal vegetables and shishito sauce brings a deeper richness before the sushi courses begin. Mongo ika, aka ebi, chutoro and buri lead into the signature negitoro uni monaka, combining creamy tuna and uni with a crisp shell. A light yuzu clear dashi resets the palate before an autumn chestnut Mont Blanc closes the experience. With only 12 seats around the counter, the setting keeps the focus on each course and its preparation. Ikkoten’s Autumn menus run from September through November, making this a seasonal experience with a limited window. Which autumn course would you want to try first? . . . . . . . #sgfood #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfoodblogger #singaporefood #singaporefoodie #singaporeeats #sgdining #telokayer #sgrestaurant #ikkoten #omakase #omakasesg #japanesefoodsg #kaiseki

If I could only recommend one place that feels like an alien planet in this lifetime, I would choose here without hesitation—Mangystau in Kazakhstan. 📱There is no internet, no signal here, only the wonders carved by the wind and time. And these geological wonders are on a countdown; weathering and erosion never stop, and they might disappear completely one day. 🌟Three must-see wonders: Bozshira Canyon Standing at the edge of the canyon, all you see are gray-white rock layers, like opening a gray poem from a geological history book. At sunset, the sun dyes the rock walls golden red, and standing there gives you the illusion that you’re not just looking at a landscape but listening to the silent sigh of this planet. Mysterious Stone Spheres Scattered across the desert are countless huge stone spheres, ranging from one meter to four or five meters in diameter. They lie abruptly on the Gobi desert like toys carelessly dropped by giants. Geologists say they are concretions formed by sedimentation, but seeing them with your own eyes still feels magical. Castle Valley Wind-eroded rock pillars rise from the ground like abandoned ancient castles. We camped here overnight under the most magnificent starry sky I’ve ever seen—no light pollution, and the Milky Way is so clear you can see the nebula structures. 🚙 Practical Tips: How to get there: You must hire an off-road vehicle and find a local guide, departing from Aktau city. There are no roads in the desert, only tire tracks, and you will definitely get lost if you drive yourself. Where to stay: You can only stay in tents or nomads’ yurts. No water, no electricity, no internet—conditions are tough, but this wilderness survival experience becomes the most unforgettable part of the trip. Important reminders: ① Huge temperature difference between day and night; short sleeves during the day and down jackets at night—bring enough warm clothes. ② Every hot meal and drink in the desert is precious—don’t waste them. ③ No signal throughout the trip; inform your family in advance not to worry. ④ Strong wind and sand—protect your camera and phone from dust. The impact of this trip is so strong that when I look through the photos, it still feels unreal. But honestly, what photos can capture is less than one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes. Mangystau is not a trendy tourist spot; there are no check-in points or cafes. It just quietly waits there for you to personally experience what it means when “Earth doesn’t feel like Earth.”

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

💛A golden palette spilled by the gods, a spring romance in the winter While most of the country is still shrouded in winter cold, this small town in Guizhou is already covered in golden rapeseed flowers filling the valley. Head here with your bestie to catch an early glimpse of spring’s beauty. This place was once named “the most beautiful spring in the world” by Global Geographic. The karst peak forest paired with the golden sea of flowers is breathtakingly beautiful~ Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers quietly bloom as early as December, flooding the fields, hills, and even scattered villages. The round, plump “steamed bun” peaks rise and fall amid the flower sea. The smoke curling gently around the Buyei ethnic villages adds a rustic charm. The unique karst landscape gives the flower sea a layered depth, plus unforgettable authentic local cuisine. Strolling, eating, and snapping photos with your bestie here is pure bliss… Wan Feng Lin, a typical karst landform in Guizhou, is made up of thousands of strange peaks. Mountains, rivers, farmlands, and villages form a picturesque scene. Xu Xiake once marveled, “Only here do peaks form a forest.” Walking here with your bestie feels like stepping into a pastoral poem~ 📝 Handy Tips for Traveling with Your Bestie: 1️⃣ There’s a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains. Dress warmly when going to shoot the sunrise with your bestie! Don’t catch a cold just for photos. 2️⃣ Take the scenic shuttle bus with your bestie to the mountaintop. The loop has 9 sightseeing spots, offering a panoramic view of the golden valley—amazing views guaranteed. 3️⃣ Or take a taxi with your bestie to General’s Bridge to rent an electric bike and explore slowly. For just 30 yuan, you can play all day, stopping and shooting at will to discover hidden gems. 4️⃣ The villages hide many charming cafes and local eateries. Be sure to try authentic dishes with your bestie, including the spring-exclusive rapeseed flower feast and the intangible cultural heritage “Sweat-Stealing Chicken”—so fresh it’ll blow your mind. 5️⃣ Best times for photos: 9 AM to capture the misty flower sea in a dreamy haze; after 4 PM for golden sunsets that bathe the flowers in a warm glow, creating a perfect atmosphere. 6️⃣ Don’t miss the Malin River Grand Canyon by the roadside. Just navigate to Malin River Dachaowo Parking Lot and check it out with your bestie. The canyon scenery is stunning. 7️⃣ Super convenient transportation: Xingyi local airport has direct flights; Guiyang high-speed train reaches Xingyi in 2 hours; a 20-minute taxi from the station gets you to the scenic area—traveling with your bestie is super easy. 8️⃣ 🌿Best season to visit: January to March (right now!), the peak blooming period for rapeseed flowers. Miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year. 9️⃣ Accommodation recommendation: Xihe Shanfang Homestay, very close to the scenic area. The owner cooks authentic food, and the window opens to the flower sea and peak forest. Stay here with your bestie and wake up to stunning views~

#hellochristmas Just checked out from a staycay at The Standard Singapore and I’m already plotting my return. I booked a One Bedroom Suite and the moment I walked in, I was blown away — the ceilings are insanely high, giving the whole space this airy, architectural drama you don’t usually get in hotels here. The room design feels playful but luxe: bold colors, great textures, and little details that make you smile. Plenty of space for my pet dog too — and yes, they’re genuinely pet-friendly, not “pet-tolerant.” My dog was living her best life lounging around like she owned the place. Service was attentive without being stiff, and the location is perfect for a quick city escape. Whether you’re cuddling up with a furry friend or just treating yourself, this hotel nails the vibe: fun, stylish, and effortlessly comfortable. Highly recommend — especially if you’re a sucker for great design and pet-friendly stays #petfriendlystays

Between the morning mist and neon lights of Duxton, the Lion City layers the vibrant life of century-old shophouses with the sharp edge of the CBD into a living painting. Mondrian Singapore Duxton hotel lives in the blank space of this artwork. 🏙️ hotel environment · heartbeat of the old town and urban edge The hotel stands at the heart of Duxton Hill, directly above Maxwell MRT station. It’s a 5-minute walk to Chinatown and 10 minutes to Marina Bay. On one side are red-tiled shophouses, Gong Xi Road bar street, and Michelin-starred eateries; on the other is the cluster of central business district skyscrapers. A 6-meter-tall KAWS bronze sculpture marks the entrance. The Nanyang-style shophouse podium supports a modern tower, seamlessly blending old-town charm with urban vibrancy at the doorstep. 🖼️ unique design · Mondrian lines × Nanyang shophouse spirit Designed by Los Angeles’ Studio Carter, the 302 rooms and public areas reinterpret Dutch painter Mondrian’s geometric divisions and primary colors in a Singaporean context: arched walkways, louvered facades, and locally sourced materials echo traditional shophouses. Sculptural furniture and green accents highlight the “garden city” theme. Local artist André Wee’s work “Rojak” is featured in the rooms. The new tower is vertically stitched to a row of century-old shophouses restored to their original state, blending geometric coolness with tropical warmth. 🌃 stunning views · 180° outlook of old and new cityscapes Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper-floor rooms frame both sides of the Lion City: below are the densely packed century-old shophouses and Duxton Hill’s night lights; above, the CBD skyscrapers glow with golden edges at sunset. Pinnacle and Duxton room types offer a 180° view of shophouse rooftops and the city skyline. The Pinnacle Corner and Pinnacle Suite capture the full panorama of Duxton Hill from their bay windows. The 50-story sky garden at The (open to the public for SGD 5) is also visible, known as the “longest sky garden” on a public housing tower. 🛏️ rooms and dining · artistic living and global flavors · rooms: Signature city view rooms start at 22 m² with mirrored walls to expand space, equipped with Malin+Goetz toiletries and Lavazza coffee machines. Shophouse suites replicate Nanyang layouts with separate living rooms and vintage bay windows, connecting privately to the herb garden.

Christina’s offers wood-fired dishes blending Mediterranean and Asian flavors, plus an all-day coffee and dining bar. Jungle Ballroom is a hidden tropical rainforest bar with Southeast Asian cocktails and a neon tunnel. Canyon Club rooftop pool bar channels 1970s Hollywood California vibes. 🎡 entertainment and leisure · sky mirror and artistic nightlife The 25th-floor T-shaped infinity pool floats in midair, reflecting old and new city views by day and resembling a slice of the starry sky by night. Canyon Club’s gym has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the CBD and offers 24-hour Technogym equipment. Slate bar and Jungle Ballroom disco host late-night events. The hotel regularly holds art launches and cutting-edge parties, making it easy to go from high-altitude relaxation to neighborhood nightlife with just one elevator ride.

If you're looking to 'Reverse Travel' during the Chinese New Year, avoiding big cities and bustling crowds, we recommend a small UNESCO-listed town in Guangdong. 📍 Kaiping, Guangdong This is the home of 'Kaiping Diaolou,' a collection of ancient towers built by overseas Chinese, blending Chinese, European, Gothic, and Byzantine styles. It's the only small town in Guangdong listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🗺️ 1-Day Itinerary (Mostly Free!) 📍 1. Cangdong Village (Free) A 700-year-old village with old brick walls full of historical traces. The best photo spot is by the pond in front of the village, where you can capture stunning reflections of the towers in the water. 📍 2. Zu Zhai Village (Free) Less crowded than Zili, with towers lined up like mansions. The intricate wood, stone carvings, and paintings are remarkable. Quiet, peaceful, and non-commercialized. 📍 3. Zhongjian Lou + Lianteng Lou (Free) Just a 10-minute walk apart. Zhongjian Lou is a 5-story Gothic-style building, while Lianteng Lou features a nearly 100-year-old Byzantine dome. Both are incredibly unique and give off a European vibe in China. 📍 4. Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang Bookstore (Free) One of the most beautiful bookstores in China, renovated from five old rice warehouses. Its minimalist design is airy and perfect for photography enthusiasts. 🚗 Getting There We recommend renting a car as the towers are scattered across several villages. You can easily cover them all in one day. From Guangzhou, it's about a 2-hour drive. 🏛️ Why Visit? The Diaolou were originally built to protect against bandits, featuring shooting holes, watchtowers, and thick walls. This architecture clearly showcases a blend of Western and Chinese cultures. Visiting will help you understand why it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 📍 Map Locations: Kaiping Diaolou and Villages Cangdong Village Zu Zhai Village Zhongjian Lou Lianteng Lou Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang

For budget-conscious travelers in Singapore, finding a gem that balances cost with quality can be a challenge, but the Owen Hotel at Little India effortlessly hits that sweet spot. While its exterior presents as a big hotel, the true value lies within, where guests are consistently greeted with a surprising level of comfort, remarkable quietness, and impeccable cleanliness—a rare trifecta for affordable accommodations. The standout feature, however, is its unbeatable location, which I would confidently rate a perfect 5/5. The hotel’s proximity to Farrer Park MRT station is almost unparalleled, as a leisurely walk of less than two minutes places you directly at the train entrance, making the entire city effortlessly accessible. This seamless connectivity allows you to explore Singapore's vibrant attractions without the hassle of long commutes, ensuring you save both time and money. Whether you are a solo backpacker or a family looking to stretch your dollar, the Owen Hotel provides a serene sanctuary that proves you don't have to sacrifice quality for an affordable price in this bustling city.

Mianzhu Lutang Hot Spring Resort Hotel is hidden in a beautiful town on the western side of the Sichuan Basin. It’s not only a great destination for family trips but also an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility of nature. This time, my son Xiaobao and I came here for an unforgettable family trip. 🌿🧳 👶 A paradise for families, a source of joy for children 🌟 As soon as we entered the hotel lobby, Xiaobao was attracted by the playful decorations, and his eyes lit up. The hotel specially prepared a family room for us, which was not only spacious but also warmly and cutely decorated, with a dedicated children's bed, cartoon-patterned bedding, and even a small toy corner.

The hotel’s hot spring area is designed with great ambiance, featuring both outdoor and indoor pools, allowing guests to enjoy different bathing pleasures whether during the day or at night. It was Xiaobao’s first time trying a hot spring; although he was a bit shy at first, he quickly adapted with my company and even learned to play with a small water gun and other kids. 💦 🏞️ Picturesque surrounding scenery, an amazing journey exploring nature 🍃 The natural scenery around the hotel is breathtaking. We visited China Rose Valley, where the flowers were colorful and fragrant, and Xiaobao even picked a few to take home. Nearby, the Giant Panda National Park was another highlight, allowing us to observe these national treasures up close, which deepened Xiaobao’s understanding of animal conservation. 🌳 🍽️ Delicious food not to be missed, a journey for the taste buds 🍜 The hotel’s dining was equally satisfying, especially breakfast, which was rich in variety and nutritionally balanced, perfect for families. The local specialty dishes served for lunch and dinner were also very tasty, especially the spicy chicken, which was flavorful and unforgettable. Xiaobao praised the hotel’s children’s menu highly, especially the creative dishes designed specifically for kids, which were both visually appealing and delicious. 🍲 Our experience at Mianzhu Lutang Hot Spring Resort Hotel gave us many wonderful memories. Whether it was the joy of family interaction or the beauty of nature, it was truly unforgettable. If you are looking for a place to relax your body and mind while enhancing family bonds, this place is definitely worth a try. 🎉

Hi, I’m travel lover Qirui. Last week, I visited Nanxun, a seriously underrated water town in Jiangnan. With its blue bricks, black tiles, small bridges, and gondola boats 🛶, it fulfills all your fantasies about Jiangnan. Nanxun is the true Jiangnan in my heart. ✅ Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ Baijianlou Building Complex Walk to Baijianlou Shanli Courtyard and take photos facing east. This is the most classic check-in spot at Baijianlou: “Without visiting Nanxun, you won’t know how dreamlike Jiangnan is.” 2️⃣ Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse Nanxun in the off-season is simply an ideal paradise. When you come to Nanxun, you can visit Xiaolian Manor, Jiayetang Library, Nanxun History Museum, Baijianlou, and also take a gondola ride. This time, I stayed at Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse in a room with a private hot spring pool and a projector. Next to the soaking pool is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon check-in, you’ll be served Nanxun’s special “Three Teas” ritual: sweet tea, salty tea, and clear tea, one after another—a unique Jiangnan ceremony. In the morning, you can leisurely stroll around the town. In the afternoon, order some Chinese afternoon tea in the century-old courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and tea aroma while daydreaming or chatting. In the evening, there’s a goodnight sweet soup—gentle and heartwarming. The guesthouse also offers a private chef who can arrange meals according to your needs. The living experience is a perfect 100💯. 3️⃣ Tongjin Bridge At sunset, the riverside becomes calm like a mirror. The Jiangnan buildings on both sides, pavilions, towers, and the thousand-year-old ancient bridge are all reflected on the water, as if projecting a thousand years of history. 4️⃣ Youli Grocery Store Sitting by the riverside grocery store is incredibly cozy. 5️⃣ Xiatang East Street There’s a Nanxun installation check-in wall here. It’s less crowded and great for photos. 6️⃣ Baishouke Noodle Shop The corner of this noodle shop in the ancient town is super photogenic. 🍜 Nanxun delicacies: double sauce noodles, Xunti (braised pork trotters), Three Teas, Xunsu cake, Dingsheng cake, Qianshi cake, Sock Bottom pastry, Huzhou big wontons... Stay in a century-old residence, soak in a private hot spring, enjoy tea and snacks, and stroll the ancient town—this is the proper way to experience a Jiangnan water town.

🌞 Singapore – Malacca The weather was great these two days, and the views along the way were nice. I got to see the sunrise, sunset, and even the starry sky (though it wasn’t super stunning because of the thick clouds 🌥️). Normally I get motion sickness quite easily, but this time the sea was calm, so I felt fine the whole trip! 🙌 🎭 What I Did I didn’t end up trying the rock climbing wall, ropes course, or water slides. The boarding process drained all my energy — I had to stand in line for over an hour and then sit waiting for another hour 🥲. In Malacca, we had to wait about an hour for the tender boat back to the ship. Exhausting! So most of the time onboard was just eating and relaxing in the room 😴. I watched both shows: Voyage of a Lover’s Dream (I think that’s what it was called?) — a mix of magic, acrobatics, and singing/dancing. It was really good! The female performers were gorgeous and super cool 💃, and there were plenty of buff guys showing off their muscles 👀. Fabulous Chan — very interactive, high-energy atmosphere. Multilingual songs, but honestly pretty obvious lip-syncing 😂. Some of the interactive moments might not be suitable for kids 🧒. 🍽️ What I Ate We had breakfast and dinner at the Lido buffet. The food wasn’t as bad (or as amazing) as some online reviews claim — just decent overall. There was always something we could eat. One meal had braised noodles that we really liked — totally something we’d eat regularly if it was near home. #gentingdream #singaporecruise #travel #cruiselife #seaview #cruise #malacca

You don’t always need to pay for an expensive observation deck to get an amazing Singapore sunset. One of my favourite ways to watch the city turn on its evening lights is CÉ LA VI Singapore, on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3. For S$38 per person, you get a premium drink — cocktail, wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option — and, most importantly, a proper place to sit and enjoy the view. You’re looking straight across Marina Bay, with the famous infinity pool and Singapore skyline in front of you. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than a typical observation deck. Come around 5:30–6:00 PM, grab a seat, watch the sunset, then stay as the city lights come on. There’s also music and a DJ later in the evening, so you can easily turn sunset into a few hours out. 📍 CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 💰 S$38 including one premium drink 🌅 Best time: around 5:30–6:00 PM 🎧 DJ from around 7:30 PM For me, this is one of those Singapore experiences where the price actually makes sense. Would you pay S$38 for this view + a drink? #singapore #singaporetravel #marinabaysands #celavi #singaporesunset #singaporenightlife #singaporetips #travelsingapore #marinabay #singaporeviews #singaporebars #singapore2026 #travelasia #tripmoments #harborviews

Travel far to the feast of a stunning beauty, to witness the magnificent face of Shangri-La. Leave your fatigue to Posun, and return your soul to the snow mountains and the wind~ Strolling among the clouds, Shangri-La's winter is quiet and gentle. At first glance upon checking into Posun Hotel, I was healed by the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the snowy plains stretch vast, and the distant Napa Lake sparkles with scattered light under the sun. The hotel's design perfectly blends with nature, especially the giant panoramic windows in the rooms. In the morning, watching the golden sunlight shine on the snowy mountains, and at night, sipping a drink by the warm light with a sky full of stars outside the window—this is the true vacation. Every casual shot is full of atmosphere, no filter needed. The hotel's restaurant has an excellent location; while enjoying exquisite Tibetan-style dinner, you can look up and see the distant snow mountains. The aroma of yak meat hotpot pairs perfectly with the snowy scenery outside the window. Remember to order a pot of warm butter tea—this is the right way to enjoy a winter trip to Shangri-La. TIPS: ▫️Winter in Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring enough warm clothes ▫️You can choose the hotel's arranged Napa Lake lake tour, avoid tourist groups, and better experience the tranquility of the grasslands ▫️Be sure to choose a room with a panoramic window; having breakfast while watching the sun shine on the golden mountains is pure happiness

First time staying at The RuMA Hotel , and I’m already loving this property. And congratulations again to the team on retaining One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. · What I enjoyed most was discovering the little stories behind the hotel. RuMa comes from rumah, the Malay word for “home”, and you can really see that idea carried through the design. From the Bird Cage at the entrance, inspired by the canary cages once used in KL’s tin mines, to the grand staircase and Bernard Chandran’s striking golden kebaya sculpture, there’s so much character throughout the property. · The location is another plus. Being right in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, with KLCC and Pavilion nearby, made exploring the city really convenient. · There was some time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities too, from the 25 metre infinity pool and 24 hour gym to UR SPA. And of course, I spent quite a bit of time eating and drinking my way around the property. · My timing worked out perfectly with @guum.sg dinner collaboration at @atas.kl , where @chef_louishan brings his modern Korean steakhouse to The RuMa until November. Over at SEVEN Lobby Bar, a gin-focused cocktail bar with more than 77 types of gin, I tried their three drink cocktail flight featuring local flavours like kaya and pandan. · Breakfast and lunch were both at ATAS, while afternoon tea at The LIBRARI featured their Chapters of RuMa afternoon tea, presented on a handcrafted congkak board, with each “chapter” bringing together savoury bites, sweets, scones and pralines. The following day, lunch at SANTAI by the infinity pool was a more relaxed affair, with the KL skyline right in front of us. · It was my first stay at The RuMa, and I can already see why The RuMa has such a following. As for the Deluxe King Suite I stayed in during this trip, I’ll leave that for the next post. #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #luxurystay #hotelstay #hotelexperience #travelmalaysia #malaysiatravel #visitmalaysia #kualalumpur #visitkl #explorekl #therumahotel

Autumn has arrived at Ikkoten, and the new seasonal omakase brings some of the richest flavours of the year to its intimate counter in Telok Ayer. The 15-course Hana experience moves beyond a sushi-focused omakase, reflecting Ikkoten’s kaiseki influence through a progression of raw and cooked courses. Autumn ingredients appear throughout, from cold matsutake chawanmushi to kabocha ebi shinjo with edamame purée and uni. The signature Chilean seabass with nori butter remains a memorable part of the meal, while A5 wagyu sukiyaki with foie gras, seasonal vegetables and shishito sauce brings a deeper richness before the sushi courses begin. Mongo ika, aka ebi, chutoro and buri lead into the signature negitoro uni monaka, combining creamy tuna and uni with a crisp shell. A light yuzu clear dashi resets the palate before an autumn chestnut Mont Blanc closes the experience. With only 12 seats around the counter, the setting keeps the focus on each course and its preparation. Ikkoten’s Autumn menus run from September through November, making this a seasonal experience with a limited window. Which autumn course would you want to try first? . . . . . . . #sgfood #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfoodblogger #singaporefood #singaporefoodie #singaporeeats #sgdining #telokayer #sgrestaurant #ikkoten #omakase #omakasesg #japanesefoodsg #kaiseki

If I could only recommend one place that feels like an alien planet in this lifetime, I would choose here without hesitation—Mangystau in Kazakhstan. 📱There is no internet, no signal here, only the wonders carved by the wind and time. And these geological wonders are on a countdown; weathering and erosion never stop, and they might disappear completely one day. 🌟Three must-see wonders: Bozshira Canyon Standing at the edge of the canyon, all you see are gray-white rock layers, like opening a gray poem from a geological history book. At sunset, the sun dyes the rock walls golden red, and standing there gives you the illusion that you’re not just looking at a landscape but listening to the silent sigh of this planet. Mysterious Stone Spheres Scattered across the desert are countless huge stone spheres, ranging from one meter to four or five meters in diameter. They lie abruptly on the Gobi desert like toys carelessly dropped by giants. Geologists say they are concretions formed by sedimentation, but seeing them with your own eyes still feels magical. Castle Valley Wind-eroded rock pillars rise from the ground like abandoned ancient castles. We camped here overnight under the most magnificent starry sky I’ve ever seen—no light pollution, and the Milky Way is so clear you can see the nebula structures. 🚙 Practical Tips: How to get there: You must hire an off-road vehicle and find a local guide, departing from Aktau city. There are no roads in the desert, only tire tracks, and you will definitely get lost if you drive yourself. Where to stay: You can only stay in tents or nomads’ yurts. No water, no electricity, no internet—conditions are tough, but this wilderness survival experience becomes the most unforgettable part of the trip. Important reminders: ① Huge temperature difference between day and night; short sleeves during the day and down jackets at night—bring enough warm clothes. ② Every hot meal and drink in the desert is precious—don’t waste them. ③ No signal throughout the trip; inform your family in advance not to worry. ④ Strong wind and sand—protect your camera and phone from dust. The impact of this trip is so strong that when I look through the photos, it still feels unreal. But honestly, what photos can capture is less than one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes. Mangystau is not a trendy tourist spot; there are no check-in points or cafes. It just quietly waits there for you to personally experience what it means when “Earth doesn’t feel like Earth.”

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

💛A golden palette spilled by the gods, a spring romance in the winter While most of the country is still shrouded in winter cold, this small town in Guizhou is already covered in golden rapeseed flowers filling the valley. Head here with your bestie to catch an early glimpse of spring’s beauty. This place was once named “the most beautiful spring in the world” by Global Geographic. The karst peak forest paired with the golden sea of flowers is breathtakingly beautiful~ Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers quietly bloom as early as December, flooding the fields, hills, and even scattered villages. The round, plump “steamed bun” peaks rise and fall amid the flower sea. The smoke curling gently around the Buyei ethnic villages adds a rustic charm. The unique karst landscape gives the flower sea a layered depth, plus unforgettable authentic local cuisine. Strolling, eating, and snapping photos with your bestie here is pure bliss… Wan Feng Lin, a typical karst landform in Guizhou, is made up of thousands of strange peaks. Mountains, rivers, farmlands, and villages form a picturesque scene. Xu Xiake once marveled, “Only here do peaks form a forest.” Walking here with your bestie feels like stepping into a pastoral poem~ 📝 Handy Tips for Traveling with Your Bestie: 1️⃣ There’s a big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains. Dress warmly when going to shoot the sunrise with your bestie! Don’t catch a cold just for photos. 2️⃣ Take the scenic shuttle bus with your bestie to the mountaintop. The loop has 9 sightseeing spots, offering a panoramic view of the golden valley—amazing views guaranteed. 3️⃣ Or take a taxi with your bestie to General’s Bridge to rent an electric bike and explore slowly. For just 30 yuan, you can play all day, stopping and shooting at will to discover hidden gems. 4️⃣ The villages hide many charming cafes and local eateries. Be sure to try authentic dishes with your bestie, including the spring-exclusive rapeseed flower feast and the intangible cultural heritage “Sweat-Stealing Chicken”—so fresh it’ll blow your mind. 5️⃣ Best times for photos: 9 AM to capture the misty flower sea in a dreamy haze; after 4 PM for golden sunsets that bathe the flowers in a warm glow, creating a perfect atmosphere. 6️⃣ Don’t miss the Malin River Grand Canyon by the roadside. Just navigate to Malin River Dachaowo Parking Lot and check it out with your bestie. The canyon scenery is stunning. 7️⃣ Super convenient transportation: Xingyi local airport has direct flights; Guiyang high-speed train reaches Xingyi in 2 hours; a 20-minute taxi from the station gets you to the scenic area—traveling with your bestie is super easy. 8️⃣ 🌿Best season to visit: January to March (right now!), the peak blooming period for rapeseed flowers. Miss it and you’ll have to wait a whole year. 9️⃣ Accommodation recommendation: Xihe Shanfang Homestay, very close to the scenic area. The owner cooks authentic food, and the window opens to the flower sea and peak forest. Stay here with your bestie and wake up to stunning views~

#hellochristmas Just checked out from a staycay at The Standard Singapore and I’m already plotting my return. I booked a One Bedroom Suite and the moment I walked in, I was blown away — the ceilings are insanely high, giving the whole space this airy, architectural drama you don’t usually get in hotels here. The room design feels playful but luxe: bold colors, great textures, and little details that make you smile. Plenty of space for my pet dog too — and yes, they’re genuinely pet-friendly, not “pet-tolerant.” My dog was living her best life lounging around like she owned the place. Service was attentive without being stiff, and the location is perfect for a quick city escape. Whether you’re cuddling up with a furry friend or just treating yourself, this hotel nails the vibe: fun, stylish, and effortlessly comfortable. Highly recommend — especially if you’re a sucker for great design and pet-friendly stays #petfriendlystays

Between the morning mist and neon lights of Duxton, the Lion City layers the vibrant life of century-old shophouses with the sharp edge of the CBD into a living painting. Mondrian Singapore Duxton hotel lives in the blank space of this artwork. 🏙️ hotel environment · heartbeat of the old town and urban edge The hotel stands at the heart of Duxton Hill, directly above Maxwell MRT station. It’s a 5-minute walk to Chinatown and 10 minutes to Marina Bay. On one side are red-tiled shophouses, Gong Xi Road bar street, and Michelin-starred eateries; on the other is the cluster of central business district skyscrapers. A 6-meter-tall KAWS bronze sculpture marks the entrance. The Nanyang-style shophouse podium supports a modern tower, seamlessly blending old-town charm with urban vibrancy at the doorstep. 🖼️ unique design · Mondrian lines × Nanyang shophouse spirit Designed by Los Angeles’ Studio Carter, the 302 rooms and public areas reinterpret Dutch painter Mondrian’s geometric divisions and primary colors in a Singaporean context: arched walkways, louvered facades, and locally sourced materials echo traditional shophouses. Sculptural furniture and green accents highlight the “garden city” theme. Local artist André Wee’s work “Rojak” is featured in the rooms. The new tower is vertically stitched to a row of century-old shophouses restored to their original state, blending geometric coolness with tropical warmth. 🌃 stunning views · 180° outlook of old and new cityscapes Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper-floor rooms frame both sides of the Lion City: below are the densely packed century-old shophouses and Duxton Hill’s night lights; above, the CBD skyscrapers glow with golden edges at sunset.

Escape the crowds this Chinese New Year and head to a UNESCO World Heritage city. If you're looking to 'Reverse Travel' during the Chinese New Year, avoiding big cities and bustling crowds, we recommend a small UNESCO-listed town in Guangdong. 📍 Kaiping, Guangdong This is the home of 'Kaiping Diaolou,' a collection of ancient towers built by overseas Chinese, blending Chinese, European, Gothic, and Byzantine styles. It's the only small town in Guangdong listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🗺️ 1-Day Itinerary (Mostly Free!) 📍 1. Cangdong Village (Free) A 700-year-old village with old brick walls full of historical traces. The best photo spot is by the pond in front of the village, where you can capture stunning reflections of the towers in the water. 📍 2. Zu Zhai Village (Free) Less crowded than Zili, with towers lined up like mansions. The intricate wood, stone carvings, and paintings are remarkable. Quiet, peaceful, and non-commercialized. 📍 3. Zhongjian Lou + Lianteng Lou (Free) Just a 10-minute walk apart. Zhongjian Lou is a 5-story Gothic-style building, while Lianteng Lou features a nearly 100-year-old Byzantine dome. Both are incredibly unique and give off a European vibe in China. 📍 4. Xianfeng Tianxia Liangcang Bookstore (Free) One of the most beautiful bookstores in China, renovated from five old rice warehouses. Its minimalist design is airy and perfect for photography enthusiasts. 🚗 Getting There We recommend renting a car as the towers are scattered across several villages. You can easily cover them all in one day. From Guangzhou, it's about a 2-hour drive. 🏛️ Why Visit? The Diaolou were originally built to protect against bandits, featuring shooting holes, watchtowers, and thick walls. This architecture clearly showcases a blend of Western and Chinese cultures.

Hi, I’m travel lover Qirui. Last week, I visited Nanxun, a seriously underrated water town in Jiangnan. With its blue bricks, black tiles, small bridges, and gondola boats 🛶, it fulfills all your fantasies about Jiangnan. Nanxun is the true Jiangnan in my heart. ✅ Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ Baijianlou Building Complex Walk to Baijianlou Shanli Courtyard and take photos facing east. This is the most classic check-in spot at Baijianlou: “Without visiting Nanxun, you won’t know how dreamlike Jiangnan is.” 2️⃣ Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse Nanxun in the off-season is simply an ideal paradise. When you come to Nanxun, you can visit Xiaolian Manor, Jiayetang Library, Nanxun History Museum, Baijianlou, and also take a gondola ride. This time, I stayed at Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse in a room with a private hot spring pool and a projector. Next to the soaking pool is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon check-in, you’ll be served Nanxun’s special “Three Teas” ritual: sweet tea, salty tea, and clear tea, one after another—a unique Jiangnan ceremony. In the morning, you can leisurely stroll around the town. In the afternoon, order some Chinese afternoon tea in the century-old courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and tea aroma while daydreaming or chatting. In the evening, there’s a goodnight sweet soup—gentle and heartwarming. The guesthouse also offers a private chef who can arrange meals according to your needs. The living experience is a perfect 100💯. 3️⃣ Tongjin Bridge At sunset, the riverside becomes calm like a mirror. The Jiangnan buildings on both sides, pavilions, towers, and the thousand-year-old ancient bridge are all reflected on the water, as if projecting a thousand years of history. 4️⃣ Youli Grocery Store Sitting by the riverside grocery store is incredibly cozy. 5️⃣ Xiatang East Street There’s a Nanxun installation check-in wall here. It’s less crowded and great for photos. 6️⃣ Baishouke Noodle Shop The corner of this noodle shop in the ancient town is super photogenic. 🍜 Nanxun delicacies: double sauce noodles, Xunti (braised pork trotters), Three Teas, Xunsu cake, Dingsheng cake, Qianshi cake, Sock Bottom pastry, Huzhou big wontons... Stay in a century-old residence, soak in a private hot spring, enjoy tea and snacks, and stroll the ancient town—this is the proper way to experience a Jiangnan water town.

🌞 Singapore – Malacca The weather was great these two days, and the views along the way were nice. I got to see the sunrise, sunset, and even the starry sky (though it wasn’t super stunning because of the thick clouds 🌥️). Normally I get motion sickness quite easily, but this time the sea was calm, so I felt fine the whole trip! 🙌 🎭 What I Did I didn’t end up trying the rock climbing wall, ropes course, or water slides. The boarding process drained all my energy — I had to stand in line for over an hour and then sit waiting for another hour 🥲. In Malacca, we had to wait about an hour for the tender boat back to the ship. Exhausting! So most of the time onboard was just eating and relaxing in the room 😴. I watched both shows: Voyage of a Lover’s Dream (I think that’s what it was called?) — a mix of magic, acrobatics, and singing/dancing. It was really good! The female performers were gorgeous and super cool 💃, and there were plenty of buff guys showing off their muscles 👀. Fabulous Chan — very interactive, high-energy atmosphere. Multilingual songs, but honestly pretty obvious lip-syncing 😂. Some of the interactive moments might not be suitable for kids 🧒. 🍽️ What I Ate We had breakfast and dinner at the Lido buffet. The food wasn’t as bad (or as amazing) as some online reviews claim — just decent overall. There was always something we could eat. One meal had braised noodles that we really liked — totally something we’d eat regularly if it was near home. #gentingdream #singaporecruise #travel #cruiselife #seaview #cruise #malacca

You don’t always need to pay for an expensive observation deck to get an amazing Singapore sunset. One of my favourite ways to watch the city turn on its evening lights is CÉ LA VI Singapore, on Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands Tower 3. For S$38 per person, you get a premium drink — cocktail, wine, beer or a non-alcoholic option — and, most importantly, a proper place to sit and enjoy the view. You’re looking straight across Marina Bay, with the famous infinity pool and Singapore skyline in front of you. The atmosphere is much more relaxed than a typical observation deck. Come around 5:30–6:00 PM, grab a seat, watch the sunset, then stay as the city lights come on. There’s also music and a DJ later in the evening, so you can easily turn sunset into a few hours out. 📍 CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 💰 S$38 including one premium drink 🌅 Best time: around 5:30–6:00 PM 🎧 DJ from around 7:30 PM For me, this is one of those Singapore experiences where the price actually makes sense. Would you pay S$38 for this view + a drink? #singapore #singaporetravel #marinabaysands #celavi #singaporesunset #singaporenightlife #singaporetips #travelsingapore #marinabay #singaporeviews #singaporebars #singapore2026 #travelasia #tripmoments #harborviews

Travel far to the feast of a stunning beauty, to witness the magnificent face of Shangri-La. Leave your fatigue to Posun, and return your soul to the snow mountains and the wind~ Strolling among the clouds, Shangri-La's winter is quiet and gentle. At first glance upon checking into Posun Hotel, I was healed by the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the window. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the snowy plains stretch vast, and the distant Napa Lake sparkles with scattered light under the sun. The hotel's design perfectly blends with nature, especially the giant panoramic windows in the rooms. In the morning, watching the golden sunlight shine on the snowy mountains, and at night, sipping a drink by the warm light with a sky full of stars outside the window—this is the true vacation. Every casual shot is full of atmosphere, no filter needed. The hotel's restaurant has an excellent location; while enjoying exquisite Tibetan-style dinner, you can look up and see the distant snow mountains. The aroma of yak meat hotpot pairs perfectly with the snowy scenery outside the window. Remember to order a pot of warm butter tea—this is the right way to enjoy a winter trip to Shangri-La. TIPS: ▫️Winter in Shangri-La has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, remember to bring enough warm clothes ▫️You can choose the hotel's arranged Napa Lake lake tour, avoid tourist groups, and better experience the tranquility of the grasslands ▫️Be sure to choose a room with a panoramic window; having breakfast while watching the sun shine on the golden mountains is pure happiness

First time staying at The RuMA Hotel , and I’m already loving this property. And congratulations again to the team on retaining One MICHELIN Key for the second consecutive year. · What I enjoyed most was discovering the little stories behind the hotel. RuMa comes from rumah, the Malay word for “home”, and you can really see that idea carried through the design. From the Bird Cage at the entrance, inspired by the canary cages once used in KL’s tin mines, to the grand staircase and Bernard Chandran’s striking golden kebaya sculpture, there’s so much character throughout the property. · The location is another plus. Being right in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, with KLCC and Pavilion nearby, made exploring the city really convenient. · There was some time to enjoy the hotel’s facilities too, from the 25 metre infinity pool and 24 hour gym to UR SPA. And of course, I spent quite a bit of time eating and drinking my way around the property. · My timing worked out perfectly with @guum.sg dinner collaboration at @atas.kl , where @chef_louishan brings his modern Korean steakhouse to The RuMa until November. Over at SEVEN Lobby Bar, a gin-focused cocktail bar with more than 77 types of gin, I tried their three drink cocktail flight featuring local flavours like kaya and pandan. · Breakfast and lunch were both at ATAS, while afternoon tea at The LIBRARI featured their Chapters of RuMa afternoon tea, presented on a handcrafted congkak board, with each “chapter” bringing together savoury bites, sweets, scones and pralines. The following day, lunch at SANTAI by the infinity pool was a more relaxed affair, with the KL skyline right in front of us. · It was my first stay at The RuMa, and I can already see why The RuMa has such a following. As for the Deluxe King Suite I stayed in during this trip, I’ll leave that for the next post. #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #luxurystay #hotelstay #hotelexperience #travelmalaysia #malaysiatravel #visitmalaysia #kualalumpur #visitkl #explorekl #therumahotel

Autumn has arrived at Ikkoten, and the new seasonal omakase brings some of the richest flavours of the year to its intimate counter in Telok Ayer. The 15-course Hana experience moves beyond a sushi-focused omakase, reflecting Ikkoten’s kaiseki influence through a progression of raw and cooked courses. Autumn ingredients appear throughout, from cold matsutake chawanmushi to kabocha ebi shinjo with edamame purée and uni. The signature Chilean seabass with nori butter remains a memorable part of the meal, while A5 wagyu sukiyaki with foie gras, seasonal vegetables and shishito sauce brings a deeper richness before the sushi courses begin. Mongo ika, aka ebi, chutoro and buri lead into the signature negitoro uni monaka, combining creamy tuna and uni with a crisp shell. A light yuzu clear dashi resets the palate before an autumn chestnut Mont Blanc closes the experience. With only 12 seats around the counter, the setting keeps the focus on each course and its preparation. Ikkoten’s Autumn menus run from September through November, making this a seasonal experience with a limited window. Which autumn course would you want to try first? . . . . . . . #sgfood #sgfoodie #sgfoodies #sgfoodblogger #singaporefood #singaporefoodie #singaporeeats #sgdining #telokayer #sgrestaurant #ikkoten #omakase #omakasesg #japanesefoodsg #kaiseki

If I could only recommend one place that feels like an alien planet in this lifetime, I would choose here without hesitation—Mangystau in Kazakhstan. 📱There is no internet, no signal here, only the wonders carved by the wind and time. And these geological wonders are on a countdown; weathering and erosion never stop, and they might disappear completely one day. 🌟Three must-see wonders: Bozshira Canyon Standing at the edge of the canyon, all you see are gray-white rock layers, like opening a gray poem from a geological history book. At sunset, the sun dyes the rock walls golden red, and standing there gives you the illusion that you’re not just looking at a landscape but listening to the silent sigh of this planet. Mysterious Stone Spheres Scattered across the desert are countless huge stone spheres, ranging from one meter to four or five meters in diameter. They lie abruptly on the Gobi desert like toys carelessly dropped by giants. Geologists say they are concretions formed by sedimentation, but seeing them with your own eyes still feels magical. Castle Valley Wind-eroded rock pillars rise from the ground like abandoned ancient castles. We camped here overnight under the most magnificent starry sky I’ve ever seen—no light pollution, and the Milky Way is so clear you can see the nebula structures. 🚙 Practical Tips: How to get there: You must hire an off-road vehicle and find a local guide, departing from Aktau city. There are no roads in the desert, only tire tracks, and you will definitely get lost if you drive yourself. Where to stay: You can only stay in tents or nomads’ yurts. No water, no electricity, no internet—conditions are tough, but this wilderness survival experience becomes the most unforgettable part of the trip. Important reminders: ① Huge temperature difference between day and night; short sleeves during the day and down jackets at night—bring enough warm clothes. ② Every hot meal and drink in the desert is precious—don’t waste them. ③ No signal throughout the trip; inform your family in advance not to worry. ④ Strong wind and sand—protect your camera and phone from dust. The impact of this trip is so strong that when I look through the photos, it still feels unreal. But honestly, what photos can capture is less than one ten-thousandth of what you see with your own eyes. Mangystau is not a trendy tourist spot; there are no check-in points or cafes. It just quietly waits there for you to personally experience what it means when “Earth doesn’t feel like Earth.”

Girls! Anyone get it? I found the ultimate happy home in Sentosa, Singapore! 🌴 This is not clickbait! On this trip to Singapore, the thing that truly wowed me was the Capella Singapore! Before checking in: It’s just a hotel, right? After checking in: Sorry, I was shallow. This isn’t a hotel at all—it’s a top-tier private estate hidden in 30 acres of rainforest! 😭 🌿 Highlight alert: When a century-old colonial building meets luxury design The moment I opened the door, I was hooked! Two British military buildings from the 1880s form the facade, but inside, modern aesthetics by design masters Jaya Ibrahim and Fu Houmin take over. This vintage “old money” tropical vibe hits all my style points! Every photo looks like a masterpiece, and my friends flooded me with questions about where I was! 📸 🛏️ Immersive experience: living in a detail lover’s paradise I went all out this time and booked a garden villa! Opening the window reveals a private jacuzzi and a huge terrace. Soaking in the tub under the stars at night, the privacy is unbeatable ✨. The room comes with Aesop toiletries, and the sophisticated herbal scent instantly wiped away my travel fatigue! The bedding is as soft as clouds, which made me oversleep and miss breakfast the next day… (Don’t follow my lead!) 😴 🍽️ Foodie radar: from Michelin to jungle bar After missing breakfast, I made up for it at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant. Chef Mauro Colagreco’s skills are no joke—handmade pizza and T-bone steak are legendary! At dusk, you have to visit Bob’s Bar, order the hotel’s signature rum cocktail, and watch the sunset filtering through the rainforest onto the sea. At that moment, I just wanted to shout: This is life! 🥃 🏊‍♀️ Escape philosophy: right in the city center but feels like a deserted island The best part is, even though it’s just minutes from Universal Studios, there’s no noise at all. You can lounge by any of the three infinity pools, hearing only birds and the wind. I even spotted a peacock strolling by the pool! 🦚 That feeling of “fully booked but no one else in sight” is incredibly healing. 💡 Summary: other than being pricey, no complaints! If you want a place in Singapore where you can both explore Sentosa and completely relax to recharge, take my advice: save up and go to Capella! You’ll thank me when you get back! 💖

💛A golden palette spilled by the gods, a spring romance in the winter While most of the country is still shrouded in winter cold, this small town in Guizhou is already covered in golden rapeseed flowers filling the valley. Head here with your bestie to catch an early glimpse of spring’s beauty. This place was once named “the most beautiful spring in the world” by Global Geographic. The karst peak forest paired with the golden sea of flowers is breathtakingly beautiful~ Thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers quietly bloom as early as December, flooding the fields, hills, and even scattered villages. The round, plump “steamed bun” peaks rise and fall amid the flower sea. The smoke curling gently around the Buyei ethnic villages adds a rustic charm. The unique karst landscape gives the flower sea a layered depth, plus unforgettable authentic local cuisine.

#hellochristmas Just checked out from a staycay at The Standard Singapore and I’m already plotting my return. I booked a One Bedroom Suite and the moment I walked in, I was blown away — the ceilings are insanely high, giving the whole space this airy, architectural drama you don’t usually get in hotels here. The room design feels playful but luxe: bold colors, great textures, and little details that make you smile. Plenty of space for my pet dog too — and yes, they’re genuinely pet-friendly, not “pet-tolerant.” My dog was living her best life lounging around like she owned the place. Service was attentive without being stiff, and the location is perfect for a quick city escape. Whether you’re cuddling up with a furry friend or just treating yourself, this hotel nails the vibe: fun, stylish, and effortlessly comfortable. Highly recommend — especially if you’re a sucker for great design and pet-friendly stays #petfriendlystays

Between the morning mist and neon lights of Duxton, the Lion City layers the vibrant life of century-old shophouses with the sharp edge of the CBD into a living painting. Mondrian Singapore Duxton hotel lives in the blank space of this artwork. 🏙️ hotel environment · heartbeat of the old town and urban edge The hotel stands at the heart of Duxton Hill, directly above Maxwell MRT station. It’s a 5-minute walk to Chinatown and 10 minutes to Marina Bay. On one side are red-tiled shophouses, Gong Xi Road bar street, and Michelin-starred eateries; on the other is the cluster of central business district skyscrapers. A 6-meter-tall KAWS bronze sculpture marks the entrance. The Nanyang-style shophouse podium supports a modern tower, seamlessly blending old-town charm with urban vibrancy at the doorstep. 🖼️ unique design · Mondrian lines × Nanyang shophouse spirit Designed by Los Angeles’ Studio Carter, the 302 rooms and public areas reinterpret Dutch painter Mondrian’s geometric divisions and primary colors in a Singaporean context: arched walkways, louvered facades, and locally sourced materials echo traditional shophouses. Sculptural furniture and green accents highlight the “garden city” theme. Local artist André Wee’s work “Rojak” is featured in the rooms. The new tower is vertically stitched to a row of century-old shophouses restored to their original state, blending geometric coolness with tropical warmth. 🌃 stunning views · 180° outlook of old and new cityscapes Floor-to-ceiling windows in the upper-floor rooms frame both sides of the Lion City: below are the densely packed century-old shophouses and Duxton Hill’s night lights; above, the CBD skyscrapers glow with golden edges at sunset. Pinnacle and Duxton room types offer a 180° view of shophouse rooftops and the city skyline. The Pinnacle Corner and Pinnacle Suite capture the full panorama of Duxton Hill from their bay windows.

Christina’s offers wood-fired dishes blending Mediterranean and Asian flavors, plus an all-day coffee and dining bar. Jungle Ballroom is a hidden tropical rainforest bar with Southeast Asian cocktails and a neon tunnel. Canyon Club rooftop pool bar channels 1970s Hollywood California vibes. 🎡 entertainment and leisure · sky mirror and artistic nightlife The 25th-floor T-shaped infinity pool floats in midair, reflecting old and new city views by day and resembling a slice of the starry sky by night.

Escape the crowds this Chinese New Year and head to a UNESCO World Heritage city. If you're looking to 'Reverse Travel' during the Chinese New Year, avoiding big cities and bustling crowds, we recommend a small UNESCO-listed town in Guangdong. 📍 Kaiping, Guangdong This is the home of 'Kaiping Diaolou,' a collection of ancient towers built by overseas Chinese, blending Chinese, European, Gothic, and Byzantine styles. It's the only small town in Guangdong listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 🗺️ 1-Day Itinerary (Mostly Free!) 📍 1. Cangdong Village (Free) A 700-year-old village with old brick walls full of historical traces. The best photo spot is by the pond in front of the village, where you can capture stunning reflections of the towers in the water. 📍 2. Zu Zhai Village (Free) Less crowded than Zili, with towers lined up like mansions. The intricate wood, stone carvings, and paintings are remarkable. Quiet, peaceful, and non-commercialized. 📍 3. Zhongjian Lou + Lianteng Lou (Free) Just a 10-minute walk apart. Zhongjian Lou is a 5-story Gothic-style building, while Lianteng Lou features a nearly 100-year-old Byzantine dome.

Hi, I’m travel lover Qirui. Last week, I visited Nanxun, a seriously underrated water town in Jiangnan. With its blue bricks, black tiles, small bridges, and gondola boats 🛶, it fulfills all your fantasies about Jiangnan. Nanxun is the true Jiangnan in my heart. ✅ Photo check-in spots 1️⃣ Baijianlou Building Complex Walk to Baijianlou Shanli Courtyard and take photos facing east. This is the most classic check-in spot at Baijianlou: “Without visiting Nanxun, you won’t know how dreamlike Jiangnan is.” 2️⃣ Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse Nanxun in the off-season is simply an ideal paradise. When you come to Nanxun, you can visit Xiaolian Manor, Jiayetang Library, Nanxun History Museum, Baijianlou, and also take a gondola ride. This time, I stayed at Nanxun·Jingli | Oasis Boutique Guesthouse in a room with a private hot spring pool and a projector. Next to the soaking pool is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon check-in, you’ll be served Nanxun’s special “Three Teas” ritual: sweet tea, salty tea, and clear tea, one after another—a unique Jiangnan ceremony. In the morning, you can leisurely stroll around the town. In the afternoon, order some Chinese afternoon tea in the century-old courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and tea aroma while daydreaming or chatting. In the evening, there’s a goodnight sweet soup—gentle and heartwarming. The guesthouse also offers a private chef who can arrange meals according to your needs. The living experience is a perfect 100💯. 3️⃣ Tongjin Bridge At sunset, the riverside becomes calm like a mirror. The Jiangnan buildings on both sides, pavilions, towers, and the thousand-year-old ancient bridge are all reflected on the water, as if projecting a thousand years of history. 4️⃣ Youli Grocery Store Sitting by the riverside grocery store is incredibly cozy. 5️⃣ Xiatang East Street There’s a Nanxun installation check-in wall here. It’s less crowded and great for photos. 6️⃣ Baishouke Noodle Shop The corner of this noodle shop in the ancient town is super photogenic. 🍜 Nanxun delicacies: double sauce noodles, Xunti (braised pork trotters), Three Teas, Xunsu cake, Dingsheng cake, Qianshi cake, Sock Bottom pastry, Huzhou big wontons... Stay in a century-old residence, soak in a private hot spring, enjoy tea and snacks, and stroll the ancient town—this is the proper way to experience a Jiangnan water town.
