Trip Moments Recommendations
Tokyo Japan
Visiting Tokyo, Japan was an amazing and very impressive experience, the best ever. This trip was with the company, which organized a trip for the employees to travel for free, including free accommodation and meals for 4 nights and 5 days, with one day to explore freely. I had the chance to stroll around the accommodation area, and the Japanese people were very kind, always smiling and greeting, very friendly everyone. I like it here, and if I have the chance to travel abroad, I would choose Japan.
The Bund, a famous shopping tourist attraction in Shanghai
#Sakura2024 The Bund or Wai Tan Beach is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Shanghai. The waterfront area located in the heart of Shanghai along the Huangpu River. Unfortunately, the weather was not very good. There was a lot of fog and dust, but there were beautiful tulips to comfort us. It made the atmosphere look like we were in Europe.
If you want to walk around without people, I recommend coming around 7 am. There are fewer people than usual, like the city is closed. In addition to the European-style buildings that are over 100 years old, there is also the Bangkok Bank and a bull (a financial symbol like in New York). On the opposite side, there is the Pearl Tower, which is a symbol of Shanghai. If you come to Shanghai and don't take a picture here, it's considered that you haven't arrived.
📌The Bund or Wai Tan Beach
🚈How to get there: Take Metro Line 2,10 and get off at East Nanjing Road Station 南京东路 Exit 5 and walk for about 500 meters.
Jingci Temple, an ancient temple in Hangzhou
#Sakura2024 Jingci Temple, an ancient temple in Hangzhou

Jingci Temple
How to get there — Take a taxi from your accommodation (call via the DiDi app in Alipay). The fare is about 15 yuan.

KitaKyushu, the gateway to Kyushu, is a great day trip.
#Sakura2024 KitaKyushu, the gateway to Kyushu, the northernmost point of Fukuoka
It is located in the northernmost part of Fukuoka Prefecture, with the north facing the Sea of
Japan. This route is actually quite interesting. There are many places to visit. You can organize a 1-day trip not far from Hakata.
For the trip, we took the Sonic train from Hakata
to Kokura Station and then transferred to the JR Kagoshima
to Mojiko Station, which took about 1 hour.
(Even though there is a JR Northern Kyushu Area Pass, you cannot
take the Shinkansen from Hakata Station to Mojiko.)
The specialty of this city is that in the past it was a trading point with other countries. Mojiko Port is a large international shipping port in Kyushu. As for Mojiko Station, it was inspired by the train station in Italy, making the atmosphere
look retro. Whether it's the train station, the buildings, or the train station itself, it's very old. It is also the first station building of the Kagoshima Line.
For those who like taking pictures, this is very chill. There are many buildings with a vintage feel.
It looks like they are in Europe, such as the former Osaka Shosen Building, which is a shipping company built in 1917. It is a beautiful octagonal building. In this area, there is also a bridge called "Full Wing Mochi". You can watch it when the bridge is lifted to let the ships pass through. It is opened in rounds.

⛱️ Hungry Tango ชาบูเกาสงที่จริงใจ🫶🏻🍲
We found this shop from a review by a Taiwanese person on Instagram. At first, we saw their dessert, which was bouncy rabbit jelly, so we wanted to try it, lol. After looking around, oh my, a shabu shop! This is a must-try! Since we were visiting Kaohsiung, we marked this shop on our list from the first day.
This shop is a hot pot with a variety of soup bases. You can choose two soup bases and order dishes by the plate. They have vegetable sets to choose from. We ordered a vegetable, pork, and meatball set. The staff gave us really good advice! The plates that were served were beautifully decorated. Anyone who loves taking pictures will definitely love it. But for us, we thought the portions were quite small. But the good thing is that we could refill the soup as much as we wanted. There were tofu, blood, and other things in the soup.
We ended with dessert. We ordered both rabbit jelly in coconut milk and corn jelly. The taste was light and not too sweet. I personally like the corn jelly because it has something to chew on and it wasn't too sweet.

Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area, a 5A World Natural Heritage Site.
According to the legend of Huanglong, it is said that Huanglong was formed when a Chinese hero shot an arrow into the sky, piercing the heart of a dragon that happened to fly by. The dragon died instantly and fell from the sky into a pond, creating a huge splash and turning the wheat fields into Cocoa Crunch. Just kidding!!! It actually became the present-day Huanglong, haha.
The further you walk, the more beautiful it gets. You can't help but continuously snap photos. Initially, you walk past a turquoise stream, lined with layered rocks, including the world's longest stretch of travertine terraces (Jinsha Pudi) and the world's largest travertine cave (Si Shen Dong). The beauty that arises from the abundant travertine in Huanglong is breathtaking. From a high vantage point, you can see a golden dragon, complete with head, body, and tail. Turning around, you can see snow-capped mountains in the distance, paired with the changing colors of leaves, forming a valley. There's an ancient temple that was under renovation when we visited. The culture and traditions of the local people, and the name Huanglong itself, are a tribute to the Dragon God of the East Sea. In the valley, there are three temples built to commemorate the Dragon God (Huanglong). Huanglong can be visited all year round, and each season offers a different experience. There are many species of animals here, but we only saw one bird, haha.
