Where does The Great wall end?
#naturalbeauty Have you ever wondered where does The Great Wall of China end on the eastern side?
Well, if you follow the wall from end-to-end, it eventually runs into the sea! This site can be seen in a small village in Qinhuangdao city.
An interesting note is I took these photos in spring time just after most of the snow melted. A definite recommendation to visit as most tourist locations along The Great Wall are usually very busy, this little town is magnificent with a lot of cultural history!
A local hotel is very affordable and the people are very friendly and hospitable. The food they cook mouthwatering delicious!
Chairman Mao once said "不去长城 非好汉" (Bù qù chángchéng fēi hǎohàn) - "He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man"

Colours of Spring in Hangzhou 💐
Blessed with the warm spring days lately, but also the beautiful blossoms popping up in parks across the city. It was my first time catching the colours of the spring blossoms at Linping Park & it was lovely 🌹🌷🌸✨ The park has a nursery as you walk up with different variety of flowers, each colourful & gorgeous.
It’s the perfect spring picture spot 📸 I’d highly recommend arriving very early. This part of the park is where most people flock for pictures 🙈 It’s extremely packed there on the weekends especially in the afternoon 🫣 Go very early and you won’t have to despair for a picture spot 😉
Address ➡️ Linping Park, 临平公园
How to go ➡️ The park is between Qiushan Avenue 🚇 station & Heyu Road 🚇 station on Line 9. There are several entrances. I got in via the north entrance.

The show with the most!
If you’re in New York and haven’t had the chance to checkout Beetlejuice The Musical, The Musical, The Musical, it is a must see the energy the cast brings is otherworldly and the tech and crew are wonderful. Truly one of the most exciting nights of my life.
The synopsis, the synopsis, the synopsis:
The ghost-with-the-most is coming to life on stage in this original musical based on Tim Burton’s wonderfully demented film of the same name. Directed by Alex Timbers, BEETLEJUICE tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, her new house is haunted by a recently deceased couple and a degenerate demon with a thing for stripes. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, he comes up with the perfect plan involving exorcism, arranged marriage and the biggest sandworms Broadway has ever seen.

A Calm and Peaceful Hike In Hangzhou
The Running Tiger Spring (Hupao Spring) is ranked third in China. It is a truly peaceful park that allows an escape from the busy streets and transports you to an exquisite nature paradise.
We spent about 90 minutes hiking to the top of the park and passed some beautiful statues along the way. Many of the name plates are in both Chinese and English. They explain the history of the spring and why the water that comes from it has gained high praises.
Once you reach the top of the hike, you can enjoy a cup of Longjing Tea made from the spring water or take a closer look at the stunning, classical architecture that surrounds the area and blends so well into the serene atmosphere of the park.
Entrance Fee: 15rmb
Getting there: Take a DiDi or Bus from Hongqiao Railway Station.

Spring flowers at the Baitang garden Suzhou🌸
As spring fully rolls in I was finally able to go out for some spring photography!! the one place that I was able to go was the famous baitang garden or the baitang park in Suzhou. this awesome place is located at the Nanshi street in Suzhou. a friend of mine mentioned that that would be great spot for some spring photography and white that I set off. and one thing was for sure and that was the fact that it was not only beautiful, but it exceeded my expectations. there was a whole area dedicated to the Sakura flowers 🌸 and that really gives a dreamy vibe and atmosphere. hopefully these photos can encourage people to step out this spring and get some beautiful photos #flowerlover #urbanexplorer #naturalwonders #springholiday #springblossoms #springtime
Wuzhen Water Town
Wuzhen Water Town was a lovely escape from busy Shanghai in the middle of summer🍂🍁 Being only a relatively short journey from Shanghai, this water town is quaint and quiet, and a great place to relax. The streets are full of life and energy, and here you will find many types of delicious food🌶 #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #urbanexplorer #springholiday #ChristmasGiveaway
Flying over the Beautiful Jinji lake 🌅
Here we’re have the Jinji lake from a less common view.
usually when I visit a new location I always try to know if I’m able to fly a drone and this is one thing that I really like when I visit. and for those who don’t know yet, the Jinji lake is the beautiful man made lake in the center of Suzhou.
surrounding the lake has so many dope attractions such as the Suzhou center mall, the Times Square , many parks and much more. one other great thing you can do is to take a boat cruise on the lake.
it’s not too common these days but definitely taking a cruise on this lake would be an amazing experience. so definitely check it out if you’re in the area!

al Żigànt - the Giant with a secret
The Fontana del Nettuno (Fountain of Neptune) has been nicknamed “al Żigànt” in dialect ("the Giant") by the Bolognese because of the size of the statue of Neptune.
The fountain made of marble and bronze, was built between 1563 and 1566 by the Flemish sculptor Giambologna on a project by the Italian Tommaso Laureti. It is a symbol of the power of the Pope who ruled the world like Neptune ruled the seas. At the feet of the statue, in fact, lie four little angels, representing Gange, the Nile, the Amazon and Danube, i.e. the rivers of the continents known at the time.
The trident of the Neptune's statue inspired and it was used by Maserati brothers as emblem for their first car, the Maserati Tipo 26. The logo was realized in 1920 by one of the brothers, Mario Maserati, at the suggestion of a family friend, Marquis Diego de Sterlich. This is still today the logo of the Maserati car company.
The fountain and its sculpture are one of the most iconic symbols of the city and references to them can be found in many symbols, commercials and logos. This includes the historical students' fraternity (Goliardia) "Excelsa Neptuni Balla", on whose emblem figure two tridents.
The Bolognese anecdote also tells of a particular expedient implemented by Giambologna, who intended to find a way to make Neptune with realistic genitals, without being discovered and admonished by the Church. The sculptor designed the statue in such a way that from a particular angle the thumb of Neptune's outstretched hand seems to emerge directly from the lower abdomen, making him suggest the (erect) genital; as proof of the same, in the pavement of the square there is a black stone, also called "of shame" placed in a very specific point in piazza del Nettuno (to be precise at the foot of the entrance stairway to the Salaborsa library) which facilitates its vision.

More sight from the Hanshan Temple!
The Hanshan temple is a really huge tourist location, it’s located towards the western part of Suzhou, this location is one that I found was really good for photography. you can see many different spots around the area that are highly photogenic.
I Definitely recommend that you visit this place during the spring time, a time which I feel you would experience this temple at its finest.
I visited this spot with my photography buddy and walked around and got these awesome shots.
One thing is that this spot can get pretty crowded. so many tourists and locals come to visit this spot which sometimes makes it really crowded so you have to find the right time to come if you mind having random tourists walk into your shot. #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #momentsmission #unforgettableexperiences #springholiday
🇰🇷My S(e)oul💖
From the cutest cafes, to some wild nightlife and incredible cuisine…hope you will get to visit my beautiful country.
Seoul is accessible through many ways depending on where you come from. Flights, bus, train…ships!
For first timers, would recommend staying in the city for 4/5 days to not rush things and fully experience what it has to offer.
Good areas to stay: Hongdae or Itaewon. Hongdae is more recommended as there is the airport subway that connects you directly and cheaper than taking an airport bus. Has loads of restaurants, cafes and nightlife as well. For more nightlife, Itaewon is great as well and with more international cuisine.

Mount Fuji 🗻
Getting There - from Tokyo airport, took a direct bus to Fujiyoshida.
Attractions - Fujiyoshida is home to one of the most famous streets to admire this giant volcano and Chureito Pagoda. As well as Kawaguchiko Lake where is possible to see Fuji with unobstructed views.
Hotels - plenty of cheap hostels and capsule hotels for fellow budget travelers (as Japan can be incredibly expensive) are available in Fujiyoshida and all around Kawaguchiko Lake.
Highly recommend renting a bicycle when around Kawaguchiko Lake to explore more of the area as a very convenient and cheap way to travel around.

The Iconic Tree of Lake Wanaka
Said to be the most photographed tree in New Zealand, I am not surprised about this statement because once you are there, you will see a huge crowd of people with their cameras trying to take photo of this tree!
Even so, I would still recommend everyone to visit the place because the scenery here is really really beautiful! It might be touristy, but don’t ever let them stop you from coming because you’re gonna lose out on an opportunity to see something amazing!
This is also one of the few spots of New Zealand where you do not have to hike a lot to reach the main view point of the location. The tree is merely a few minutes walk away from the carpark, making it easily accessible to everyone of all ages!
Apart from the tree, the scenery around here are all really good spots to take some wonderful photos to bring home as memories too.
Leave at least 30-mins to an hour when you are coming here, to fully immerse yourself in this wonderful spot! #hiking #nationalpark #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide #springholiday #naturalwonders
🍇Wine tasting in China🍷
Chinese wine is underrated!
Ningxia province hosts some of the best wines in the country.
You can have the opportunity to visit various wineries around this wine-filled province.
✨Make sure you make an appointment with the winery that you end up choosing.
✨You can rent a car or grab a Didi to the destination and talk with the driver to arrange the way back to the city as well.
✨You don’t have to go all the way to Europe for a unique wine tasting experience. You can taste incredible wines locally produced and discover the potential of Chinese wines.

💖Enjoy!

Desert through the Silk Road
Make sure to stay at a desert camp site to experience various activities but mostly, the desert in itself!
✨Don’t miss the opportunity to watch sunset, the starry night and the sunrise!
✨Please avoid the hottest hours of the day to play around the dunes, especially for people with underlying conditions.
✨Make sure to always have water with you for good hydration.
✨Don’t forget to cover up and apply loads of sunscreen!
✨Climbing up the dunes can be pretty challenging, so make sure to not miss crucial times such as sunset/sunrise and calculate a good time to climb up and enjoy nature doing its job from up there.
💖Enjoy!

The Suzhou Village
Suzhou Village, which opened its doors for the first time in May 2014, is located on the western shore of Yangcheng Lake Peninsula, in historic Suzhou, and serves the discerning visitors to this major tourist destination.
The design of Suzhou Village is an original fusion of Italian and artisanal Chinese influences that create an elegant, distinct and wholly authentic customer experience.
In spring 2020, which was around the time that I visited, the Village opened a new phase to add a further 75 boutiques and five restaurants, Its a massive place so you won’t get bored walking around this area.
Suzhou Village is home to a distinctive offer of international luxury fashion and lifestyle brands, so this is where many people come to buy some nice luxury or big brand items. #suzhouvillage

Check out this university campus in Suzhou!
Here is the aerial view of this rather unique university campus. this campus is one of three campuses of the Suzhou university. This particular campus is the oldest campus and its rich with culture and beauty.
What makes this campus standout from most campuses in the world is the fact that, just walking around in the campus, weather to go for classes or to go to the library, you feel like you’re walking through a scenic garden.
This designs and architecture mix Chinese aesthetic with a bit of old European style to give something you have never seen before.
I would definitely recommend checking this place about if you can!

The Hidden House: A True Hidden Gem
On the 14th floor of a residential building you'll find 'The Hidden House'. A boutique hotel with incredible service, beautiful views, and a lovely zen aesthetic. In Chinese it's called Yinqitang Hotel.
The hotel is reasonably priced, especially during off-season. Do yourself a favor and get the breakfast included. It's cheap and simple but flavorful and satisfying. I loved the dan dan mian!
The best part of this hotel is it's location. Located along the Jin River, it is a perfect place to start a walking tour of Chengdu. While it would be a relatively far walk (10 minute cab ride), it's worth getting a pair of comfy shoes and heading to People's Park.
The hotel itself also offers a roof top bar at night with stunning views of the river and city. After a couple of cocktails you can head down to Lan Kwai Fong which is directly adjacent to the hotel. Here you'll find the best bars, lounges and clubs in the city. If you're a foreigner I particularly recommend Orangutan, Revolucion, or Tiki Boom for the music and dance floor.
The bed is comfortable, the bedding was changed daily, and the towels were soft. I especially loved the little tea nook where they provided us loose leaf tea to enjoy on a chilly day. It was great to enjoy some tea before an afternoon nap.
Overall, this hotel has much to offer some one who is staying for a couple of days and doesn't want amenities like a pool, sauna, or gym.
