🇻🇳Mysterious Tibet Journey, Emotions from the Land That Touches the Sky
#ChinaTravel
Tibet travel was truly a unique experience.
It usually takes 4~5 days,
but it usually starts in the capital city of Lhasa.
On the first day, acclimate to Lhasa at 3,600m above sea level,
visit the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple,
and enjoy the local atmosphere on Barkhor Street!
On the second day, visit Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery,
and feel the depth of Tibetan Buddhism!
If you have time, I highly recommend going to Namtso Lake (Nantse Lake) or
Everest Base Camp!
A place where snow-capped mountains, green grasslands,
and the pure smiles of Tibetans come together.
Although it is essential to prepare for altitude sickness,
it is a bucket list destination before you die,
and I think the emotion of traveling to Tibet will be unforgettable for the rest of my life.

and at night, you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the streets
lit with red lanterns.

Beijing Wangfujing Hotel ‘Renaissance Wangfujing Hotel’ 🏩♥️
#ChinaTravel #RenaissanceHotelWangfujing #BeijingHotel #BeijingTravel
During this trip to Beijing, I stayed at the Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel on the first day. I was satisfied with the stylish rooms, luxurious facilities, and friendly service. I also liked the spacious and high lobby, the wonderful sculptures that can be seen everywhere, and the clean interior!
It was relatively close to Wangfujing Street and the China Art Museum, so it was nice 🥰 I recommend it!
Winter wonderland of Man Square..
#ChinaTravel #WanGuangZhang
WanGuangZhang (漫广场), located in the downtown area of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, is a place where various events are held at different times to attract many tourists, and it is a good place to take pictures and walk around.
When I went, it was a white winter wonderland, and many people were constantly pressing the shutter with the white world and high-rise buildings as the background. There were many families visiting, and on one side, there were many newlyweds taking wedding photos, which was a delight to my eyes as a tourist.
It is a cute square that seems to change in spring or during holidays, so I recommend you visit it.
A traditional stone pagoda in a wide shopping street...
#ChinaTravel #GangshiGajago
GangshiGajago (糠市街字库) is a traditional building with historical significance located on the south side of Taikoo Li East Square.
This stone pagoda is a symbolic building that preserves the local culture and history, and it feels like a link between the surrounding tall buildings and the traditional style of Taikoo Li's luxury streets and old traditions. The stone pagoda is not that large, but this small symbol in a downtown shopping mall has the power to completely change the atmosphere.
Thanks to that, it seems to be used as a meeting place for many people, and you can see people busy taking certification shots.
A luxury shopping shop blended into a traditional building..
#ChinaTravel #TaikoriDongGwangjang
TaikoriDongGwangjang (太古里东广场) is a unique shopping street in Chengdu, China. It is a shopping street with a unique charm that is hard to find elsewhere, where traditional streets and buildings that seem to have been built old have been reborn as luxury shopping shops.
In addition to the fun of looking at luxury goods such as Chanel, Gucci, and Hermes, this street also has buildings that give off a traditional Chinese feel, making every alley a hot spot for taking pictures.
If you want to take pretty Instagram photos, walk around here and pose with many luxury shops in the background.
This is also the fun of city travel.
Taegori Donggwangjang...
#ChinaTravel #TaigoRiDongGwangjang
TaigoRiDongGwangjang (太古里东广场) is famous for its many shopping malls, but it is also a place that constantly draws people with its many cafes, restaurants, and pretty photo spots for people to enjoy.
From cute sculptures to pretty murals to a large plaza...
It's fun to see many Chinese influencers who love photography come and visit each store and cafe and broadcast their personal broadcasts.
There are many elements that young people can enjoy in particular, so if you come to Chengdu, this is a basic course that you must pass by.
Luxury Street Based on Traditional Chinese Style
Chengdu is considered one of the most livable areas in China. It ranks within the top 10 cities in China by GDP, making it quite a wealthy city. Major Korean corporations are expanding into Chengdu, and global companies around the world are also paying attention to Chengdu. Chunxi Road, the center of consumption in Chengdu, is similar to Myeongdong in Seoul or Nampo-dong in Busan. It spans about 1.1 km and is home to over 700 shops, shopping malls, department stores, and luxury brands. Among them, the luxury road Taikoo Li features a massive Apple Store and numerous high-end brands from around the world. Each store is uniquely decorated, making it quite enjoyable just to look around.
Hachim Square...a wonderful structure and a quiet alley...
#ChinaTravel #HasinGwangjang
Located in HasinGwangjang (下沉广场) in Jinjiang District, Chengdu, the huge beacon-like sculpture shows a colorful Yeonggang River with gorgeous LED lights, stopping the steps of passing travelers. If you go inside following the sculpture, you will find modern buildings built in a traditional style and pretty cafes. This place, where traditional alleys and modern shopping and leisure facilities coexist, satisfies the tastes of various visitors, and is a hot spot that satisfies the pleasure of citywalking in Chengdu.
Jinguan Street in Chengdu at Night
Jinguan Street (锦官驿街), located in the heart of Chengdu, is a modern reinterpretation of traditional architecture situated in Jinjiang District. This unique area is a mixed leisure zone where the buildings are used as high-end Western restaurants, traditional Chinese eateries, or charming cafes and pubs. Historically, this place held significant geographical importance, as it was the official transportation hub between Chengdu County and Huayang County during the Qing Dynasty, known as Jinguan Post (锦官驿). Nowadays, it is an area where a river, diverging from the Jinjiang River, flows harmoniously with the buildings and alleys, making it a beautiful spot to visit at night.
Night view around Geumgang and Lan Kwai Fong..
#ChinaTravel #ChengduLanKwaiFong
LanKwaiFong, formed along the Jinjiang River that leads into downtown Chengdu, is a great place to take a break after a night stroll, starting with Starbucks, where you can see the beautiful night view of the riverside, and going to an outdoor cafe with a nice atmosphere.
There are high-end Western restaurants and Sichuan restaurants, so it's also a good place to have dinner.
There are many women taking pictures and showing off their personal SNS, and there are also pretty couples sitting on benches under pretty lights and chatting.
This place, where you walk with a happy expression, is a great place to feel the youth of Chengdu...I think it will be a local trip with a different meaning.
Lan Kwai Fong isn't just in Hong Kong.
#ChinaTravel #ChengduLanKwaifong
LanKwaifong (兰桂坊) in Chengdu is a famous nightlife spot in Chengdu, located at No. 1, Shuijin Street, Jinjiang District. LanKwaifong... literally translated as "Cinnamon Street", is a very famous street named after the Apgujeong Street in Hong Kong. This street is named after that and is mainly filled with clubs and restaurants.
There are many park benches and outdoor cafes, and there is also the ShuiJingFang Museum and HeJangTing, a famous bridge and restaurant with a night view, right nearby, so it is a great place to visit in the evening.
Hé Jiāng Tíng... A place with stunning night views...
Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China, Chengdu in Sichuan Province is famous for its pandas. Another thing that Chengdu is famous for, besides pandas, is its night views. One of the representative night view spots in this area is 'Hé Jiāng Tíng'. Located next to the Jin River, Hé Jiāng Tíng was built around 1,200 years ago and was a place where boats used to depart. It is now used as an observatory. Hé Jiāng Tíng, with its subtle lighting, is charming in itself, but the city night view across the river also catches the eye. If you are touring the Jin River in Chengdu, it is recommended to visit at dusk to enjoy the night view around Hé Jiāng Tíng.

📍Key Points
I happened to stop by while walking, and it wasn't too crowded or too big, so it was a good place to take a short break.

#China travel #Hong Kong travel
You can find restaurants and explore the market at the same time at Kwun Chung Market.
📍Address: 17 Bowring St, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong
📍Key Points
You can enjoy cheap food like noodles and also take a look around the market. I found it while walking to King George Park and it was quite interesting. It's not super clean, so if you're particular about hygiene, you might want to skip it. But it really feels like there are no tourists at all, just a local vibe.
📍Rating: 2/5
Night view of Hapgangjeongbu Port..
#ChinaTravel #HapgangJeongDu
The night view of Chengdu Jinjiang surrounding Chengdu is a major walking trail that needs no introduction. Among them, the area around HapgangJeong is a popular dating course for young people with many pubs and restaurants.
Feel the charm of Chengdu while looking at the cruise ship and feeling the river breeze. The lights of the beautiful buildings and the surrounding lights reflected in the river will make you press the camera shutter without stopping.
It would be a good idea to rest your tired legs from traveling during the day and enjoy a beer in a pub with a nice atmosphere.
The traditional-style pavilions nearby add to the beauty of this place.
Taikoo Square..
#ChinaTravel #TaikooLiDongGwangjang
Chengdu TaikooLi is a representative hot place where you can feel the city sensibility with its sophisticated and modern yet traditional style architecture. Many buildings that show the harmony of tradition and modernity are unique and gorgeous due to Chinese tiles and modern glass structures. In particular, the Apple Store in front of the Donggwangjang fountain has a large space with an open feel, so many people shop there, but they also enjoy taking pictures with the fountain show in front of it.
I think it is the best place for citywalk to enjoy the city's glamour and tradition at the same time.
Riding the Star Ferry, a must-do in Hong Kong⭐️
📍Address: No. 7, Zhongwan Minguang Street, Hong Kong

Star Ferry that goes between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. I enjoyed it around sunset using the Octopus Card, and it's worth taking once. The price is cheap and the interval is not that long, so you can go back and forth comfortably. ㅎ.ㅎ
📍Average price per person: 4~6.5 Hong Kong dollars
📍Rating: 4/5
#China travel #Hong Kong travel
⭐️Hong Kong noodle restaurant recognized as a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Sister and
📍Address: 13 Electric Rd, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
📍Atmosphere/Facilities: 1-story building, old-fashioned atmosphere, sharing tables is a must.
📍Key Points
It's a bit out of the way, so it's hard to recommend, but if you're near Causeway Bay, I'd recommend it. The soup is salty, but it's really rich and perfect for Korean tastes., You can choose rice noodles instead of egg noodles. Lots of meat., It's expensive for an old restaurant, but considering the price of Hong Kong, it doesn't feel expensive.
📍Average price per person: HK$70
📍Rating: 4/5

📝 My Review:
When I first visited, I wondered if it truly deserved the title of one of the top 3 night markets, but it completely lived up to my expectations. From the entrance, I was captivated by the rich aroma of the famous pepper buns (胡椒餅), and upon tasting them, the crispy exterior and the spicy, juicy meat inside made for a perfect start. The taro peanut ice cream was a unique dessert you can only find in Taiwan, and all the food from the various street booths and formal restaurants was excellent. The cleanliness of the restaurants combined with the local charm of the booths made it so satisfying that any food lover would want to stay all day.
If you're planning to do a mukbang in Taiwan, this is the place! Raohe Street Night Market.

Raohe Street Night Market was so delicious that anyone who loves food would want to stay for several days. The large signboard at the entrance that captures the essence of the night market was impressive, and from the first stall to the last, you could taste delicious food without disappointment. Especially for those who are trying Taiwanese street food for the first time, there were many flavors that could be enjoyed without hesitation, and the affordable prices made it great to try various menus. It left such an impression that one visit was not enough, and it remains a night market I want to visit again.
From food to entertainment, Shilin Night Market has it all.
📍 Things to enjoy at Shilin Night Market
🏨 Unique Charm:
Shilin Night Market is not just a place for food, but a representative night market in Taiwan filled with various entertainments! Besides food, you can enjoy games, shopping, and activities, making it a place where you won't get bored even if you stay all day. With various street games, arcades, and small rides scattered around, it's a special fun to blend in with the locals.
📝 My Experience:
It's a bit far from the city center, so I visited in the evening after finishing my trip to Tamsui. It was easy to find as it is close to the MRT station (Jiantan MRT Station). I had the impression that night markets were mainly about food, but when I actually went, there were so many things to see and do, including rides, games, and small arcades. There were small amusements like shooting games, fishing games, and claw machines, making it a great place to spend time slowly while eating. It's a great place to create fun memories with friends, family, and loved ones.
