Hoi An Magical Old town
Hoi An old town is out of a fairly tale.
One of the most beautiful and romantic experiences I’ve ever had.
Just a short ride away from the beach there’s this gorgeous old town with the lanterns, the boats and the magic.
The vendors are a bit too annoying and the food is overpriced compared to regular Vietnam prices, but it’s worth every penny and every pushy vendor.
Recommend the right side for a quiet romantic dinner and the left side for a live music drink! Perfect balance #vietnam #hoianoldtown #lanternshow #romance

Suzhou at night! (Panmen scenic area)
I was fortunate enough to experience this wonderful location at night and it was a really beautiful experience.
The name of this location is called the Panmen scenic area, in the southwest of Suzhou. One huge plus is that it’s not too far away from the center of Suzhou, so it won’t take too long to arrive at this wonderful location from most places.
I visited this place for the purpose of photography and for that reason, I could not miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful scenes in the night time.
I arrived around sunset so I was able to walk around and find some amazing spots for photos and enjoy the serene atmosphere, and as the sun started to set, boom! the lights come on, and this place becomes a whole new experience! I hope you enjoy!

China’s pyramids
China’s pyramids: the mausoleum of Western Xia Dynasty in Ningxia Autnomous Region (notice the “xia” in “Ningxia”? The latter referred to the Middle Kingdom’s efforts to conquer and pacify this region)
The view is fantastic and the hike isn‘t too exhausting. I wouldn‘t recommend this hike if you have a fear of spiders, though. Once you go into the forest, there are spiders everywhere you look. I even came across a cobra on my way through the forest.

Chongqing, China
Could this be the tallest rice variant on earth? Fully grown to be over 2 meters high, the giant rice just yielded a harvest in an experiment program in southwest China's Chongqing. The productivity of the rice counts 12,000 kg per hectare. Well, the monolithic crop could just provide proper shades for the toiling farmers eh?

Shuangyan Wanyue
The "Shuangyan Wanyue" exhibition center is located in Tengchong, Yunnan, with a unique land and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Architectural design was inspired by the masterpiece Wu Guanzhong's masterpiece "Mansion", hoping to create unique works that embody the oriental architectural connotation and gather the beauty of Tengchong mountains and rivers, which is what is called "double eaves, moon and water, surrounded by mountains and gardens."
.
The building consists of two towers standing on top of each other. The design borrows and innovates the form of the eaves and eaves on the roof of traditional Chinese architecture. The South Building points to the sky, and the North Building sticks to the ground. It is agile and soft, light and elegant. There is a pool of still water in the forecourt, which reflects the double buildings, cornices, sky, and landscape. In addition, the south building and the close-up Langya Mountain are parallel to each other, maximizing the lush green mountain views into the building, the north building and the south building are gently pulled apart, leaving a viewing gallery to incorporate the majestic beauty of Gaoligong Mountain in the distance. The backyard of the building draws on chinese traditional classical gardens, surrounded by verandas, ancient wooden water pavilions, and spring water filled ponds.

Zhejiang, China
The book house aims to create a serene reading space that calms people down, thus attracting more young people and children to return to the mountains. It also provides a colorful and quiet place so that children and the elderly can feel freedom and happiness in this house.
.
In the first floor of the book house, there is an overhead semi-outdoor open space, and ten structural columns hold the entire house. The closed spaces are on the second floor, connected to the outside with an out-door staircase. There are two rounds of back-shaped bookshelves in the second floor, creating a corridor around the patio and the reading space in the middle. With a comfortable width of one meter, it suspends from the structure of the first floor. The corridor provides the experience of walking around in the garden, while a lot of holes are opened according to the modular size of the back-shaped bookshelves, letting the light and air flow through the difference of size and height.
.
The bookcases use the modular structure of there-centimeter thick pine wood, and is controlled by a unified modular scale language. The vertical frame of the bookshelf and the structural beam of the roof are in one-to-one correspondence, forming an overall language logic system. On the outer façade, the relatively rare sun panels in the village make the whole house translucent, and the light in the room becomes gentle through the sun panels, creating a comfortable environment for reading. The translucent material allows readers inside to have a glimpse of the outdoor landscape, achieving a semi-transparent spatial experience and atmosphere.

Stockholm, Sweden
The spectacular ceilings and wooden supports of a former brewery are a central focus of the property’s redesign. The site serves as an administrative headquarters, with the large industrial space providing ample room for offices and conference rooms. The brick and woodwork were carefully restored to extend the building’s life, which had suffered neglect following the brewery’s closure. Details such as control panels, gothic windows, and diaper patterned brick walls feature prominently in the renovation.

sanzpont [arquitectura] and Pedrajo+Pedrajo Arquitectos teamed up to dream up Living the Noom. The design for this verdant, otherworldly residence was victorious at the 2021 A+Award — with good reason.
The architects started out with the following premise: today’s homes are built in a way that makes us prone to physical and emotional illness. Through the concept of “wellness living” they set out to create a design that would help prevent health problems and cultivate healthier lifestyles for inhabitants. Ultimately, this resulted in a project that will also be healthier for the planet.

THE SCENIC SUN ISLAND
Sun Island Scenic Area is the second biggest venue of the annual Harbin Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival and it is best known as the snow sculpture display and competition area.
I spent my late afternoon in there on the 23rd of January 2020. These 3-D images were gigantic. In 2007, one measuring 250 meters in length became the world record holder for the biggest snow sculpture.
The snow sculptures were made from compacted snow so that they can preserve their form and bear weight. The displays were intricate and award winning. ❄️☃️🌨

Harbin Ice and Snow World
Harbin Ice and Snow World is one of the most important parts of Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival. It has become the most popular winter attraction in the world. In this dreamlike theme park, not only can you see the amazing colorful illuminated ice and snow sculptures but also enjoy various interesting cultural activities and winter sports.
One of the reasons why I went to Harbin was to see these gigantic illuminated ice sculptures as I saw it in Kim Chiu’s vlog. However, after that whole fun-filled day and mesmerizing sunset, my cup was overflowing and I decided not to enter the park and just captured the outside view. Plus, I need to prepare for my early trip to Snow Town the next day. ❄️🌨
Hopefully, I can still return there someday with my ‘Xian’. 😆😅

Piraeus The Port Of Ancient Athens
Piraeus, also known as Peiraeus or Pireas, is a city located in the prefecture of Attica, towards the southern side of Athens. This city’s main attraction is based on the fact that in ancient Greece, it was used as Athens’ main port, and therefore it played a very important role in the city’s life.
Besides than being the port of ancient Athens, Piraeus has been also named port of modern Athens since 1834. This way, nowadays this port can be seen in action, and although it does not look just like it used in ancient Greece, it still shows some of such antique characteristics which turn it into a very interesting and peculiar place to meet.
The name of this area, Piraeus, means “the place over the passage”,

Top 5 Cities To See During A Holiday In China
In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, one of my jobs is to ensure every client has the best tour possible, so here are my top 5 suggestions for cities to visit in China during your holiday.
1.Shanghai is a magnificent city whose culture changes almost before your very eyes. The City has reshaped itself since the market restrictions have been lifted and offers a new and inspirational atmosphere.
The Bund (Zhongshan Road) has remained virtually unchanged and is instantly recognised as one of the famous landmark waterfronts in Shanghai for many, many years.
There are various temples and gardens within Shanghai, some of them in the past were left unattended which enabled the forces of nature to reclaim them.

Dunn S River Falls In Jamaica
One of the ports of call for our Royal Caribbean cruiseship during the week of November 28/04 was Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Probably the most famous site in the region is Dunn’s River Falls and we chose to tour it on our own rather than through one of the cruiseship tours. Once we disembarked from the cruiseship, there were cabs and shuttlebuses available at the pier. Cabs to Dunn’s River Falls were $22 US for a return trip. Cabs allowed 1-3 people per vehicle. We were also told at the pier that small shuttlebuses also go to the Falls at $5.50 US per person. These were also based on return trips. The only problem with shuttlebuses was that we had to wait until they filled up the shuttle before leaving for the Falls so since we were the first on the bus, we had to wait about 15 minutes for it to fill up. The driver then asks you when you want to be picked up at the Falls for the return trip. Our driver suggested 2 hours to see the Falls so we agreed on this time duration.
Once at the Falls, a woman then came onboard ,

Daybreak On Lake Windermere England:
Located at the heart of Lake District National Park, Lake Windermere is England’s largest expanse of freshwater.
It is also the perfect place to welcome in a new day during the warm summer months.
It was 4:00am and my boat rocked gently below the parting night sky. The brightest stars were still faintly visible to the naked eye.
The moon’s happy face was about to greet the sun and hail another beautiful day, these two celestial chums never far from one another in the heavens.
I fixed my fishing rod to the side of the boat and gazed up at the last embers of stars as they faded from view.
