#getgoing2025 Ratu Boko Castle was a place where history and nature collided beautifully. The ancient ruins, perched on a hill, offered sweeping views of the surrounding landscapes. As the sun set, the golden light bathed the site, creating a magical atmosphere. Exploring the castle’s stone pathways and imagining its storied past was a highlight of my journey in Yogyakarta. 📍Ratu Boko Castle, Yogyakarta #indonesiatrip #yogyakarta #ancientown #castle #citydaytours #myitinerary #familytravel #travel

Dukezong, meaning "City on Stone" and "Moonlight City" in Tibetan, was once a key hub on the Tea Horse Road and home to China’s largest, best-preserved Tibetan dwellings. Tragically, a 2014 fire destroyed over two-thirds of its buildings, but the rebuilt town remains captivating. Its architecture blends Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indian influences, showcasing vibrant murals, grand temples, and intricate carvings. At 3,300 meters altitude, visitors should avoid strenuous activities. Explore for a day to savor Tibetan delicacies like butter tea and yak meat, and shop for unique crafts. Respect local customs and prepare for potential altitude sickness for a memorable visit.

If there is a location in Taizhou that is full of photogenic spots. It has got to the be the ancient city in linhai. A quick bus ride from the linhai train station got us there and to my surprise.

Xiangxi Tujiazu and Miaozu Autonomous Prefecture maintained and sustained an actual Tribal Village, populated by real villagers earning their daily keeps. Although there are activities that screamed of tourism, but, if you stay away from these activities, you can really take in the tribal and village vibes of a real village. However, if you have weak knees and having mobility issues, then refrain from visiting unless you have helpers assisting. This village is somewhat situated in a hill slope, and as such, the path leading through the village goes up and down. #tujia #miao #ancientown #autonomous #prefectures #silversmiths

Excellent food, service, highly recommend for that one big night out when travelling or say special occasions. Not to say that it can't be done more often. But the prices don't compare with local eating. But the experience is delightful. The food was delicious. There was a complimentary glass of wine before we got a bottle of their dalat wine. They also have a happy hour 1+1 for certain wines and beers on the menu. The service of the food was relatively slower but the servers were kind. We were able to see the views of the river over the bridge nearby, but the balcony seats on the 2nd floor were already taken. Overall, the location, atmosphere and the hospitality with quality food makes it amongst the best of food and drinking experiences in Hoi an. #vietnamtrip #ancientown #riverside #hoian

The Ten-eye Bridge, located in Jinxi, is the most renowned in the area. It was constructed during the Ming Dynasty and is a key feature of the famous Gulian scenery area, along with the Gulian Pool, Wenxing Pavilion, Long-dam Twisted Corridor, and #ancientown Peach Garden. Why Ten-Eye Bridge? The bridge‘s length is 52 meters, and it is supported by nine piers, creating ten arches, from which it gets its name. Its distinctive and classic shape sets it apart from other bridges in Jinxi Town and the surrounding regions, leading the locals to refer to it as the "Precious Belt Bridge.” The lights in the evening are charming, and I am glad the room I've got is just across the Ten-Eye bridge. I got the best spot to film the daytime scenery.

Fenghuang (Phoenix) ancient town is situated around 4 hours (by road) from Zhangjiajie and is a cultural town with lots of picturesque scenes. The old town has a river running through the centre where there a lot of different activities taking place. A lot of the accommodation is mainly small B&Bs or hostels which are small and family owned. The prices of most things (particularly food and drink) is very expensive and catered towards the tourists who tend to visit for one or two days only. #tourism #china #Ancientown #summervacation #awesomepic
