The Fairfield By Marriot
There are alot of hotels located all around hyderbad with very competitive prices. Staying at the fairfield by marriot at hyderbad Gachibowli located at Rd Number 2, Financial District, Gachibowli was one of my choices due to firstly a reputable name and relatively new rooms with a great pricing of less than $110 a night.
The hotel is located very near to all your business district and close to the popular Hitec City making this one of the most ideal location for business travellers. They have more than 6 types of you for to choose from based on your preferences and also PowerPoint plugs all suited for overseas travellers which makes this a perfect hotel, at least I do not need to scramble for universal adapters.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited Macau. The ongoing pandemic limits my chance to visit Macau right now, but my trip to Macau is worth to remember.
Whenever I got there, I would never missed to stop by at the signature landmark,The Ruins of St.Paul’s Church, for its classical and unique architecture. Many visitors made this church Archway a must visit place to go and to take wonderful photos.
Next to this historical ruins, you can visit Macau museum, and Monte Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the 9-meter-high walls of the fort, you can see a picturesque view of mainland Macau.

Patwon Ki Haveli, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India
🏰 The haveli (mansion) was built in 1805 by the Patwas (a wealthy family) and took about 55 years to complete. It is a combination of five different havelis, each with its own unique quality. The family still lives in some parts of the haveli which are excluded from tourist access.
📍 Location - It is within walking distance from the Jaisalmer fort, which is one of the main attractions of Jaisalmer and located in the heart of the city of Jaisalmer. It is quite accessible through public or private transport. Though walking or taking auto-rickshaw from the Jaisalmer fort are recommended as the streets are a bit narrow.
⚡️ Attractions - The magnificent construction of yellow sandstone camouflaging the colour of gold, the unique architecture, and royal decor are what make this haveli one of the famous tourist attractions.

Ephesus Turkey
Let me bring you to the wonderful site of turkey. A great historical Ephesus city which is recorded in the Holy Bible. The sun is up, it's super hot because of summer, but wonderful statue and building bring me joy.
In this trip what I can eat everyday is bread and cheese while enjoying sea and ancient historical sites. I did engage tour agency so I won't get lost since my local friend couldn't make it.
The tour guide explain to us each site meaning and history but I couldn't absorb it all because my point is to chill and enjoy. Why bother about the rest?

Exploring history in Jingzhou
My journey through time took me to the Jingzhou Historical and Cultural City Area, and it was an experience I’ll never forget! This place is a treasure trove of Chinese history and culture, where every corner seems to whisper tales from the past.
Walking along the ancient city walls, I was struck by how well-preserved everything is. The architecture, the statues, and the relics all paint a vivid picture of Jingzhou's significance in Chinese history. It’s amazing to think about all the emperors, soldiers, and scholars who once walked these same streets.
The museums within the area offer a deep dive into the region’s rich heritage, with artifacts dating back thousands of years. But what really took my breath away was the panoramic view from the city walls – you can see the blend of ancient and modern Jingzhou stretching out in every direction.
If you’re a history buff or just someone who appreciates cultural depth, Jingzhou is a must-visit. It’s a place where history truly comes to life.
