On November 26, 2024, N Seoul Tower was transformed into a magical winter wonderland after the first heavy snowfall of the season. The weather was crisp and refreshing, with clear skies and the entire area from the base to the peak was blanketed in a thick layer of snow, creating a serene, almost ethereal atmosphere that felt far removed from the usual city bustle. The views from the tower were more spectacular than ever, with the snow adding a layer of tranquility to the panoramic sight of Seoul. The white-covered trees and snow-capped landscape created a striking contrast against the city’s skyline, making it feel like stepping into a living postcard. #seoul #travel #southkorea #snow #firstsnow #wintergetaway #winter

I was surprised to learn how easy it is to get to the Buddha head embedded in a banyan tree. Listed as a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE and famously advertised by many, this is a great day trip! Deciding how to get there and back, what we wanted to see, we opted to rent a motorbike in Bangkok and ride it all the way, sightseeing all day. The nearby sights are as spectacular as visiting the never rebuilt ancient city. A photographer’s dream location! 🏖BAmbiance/Facilities: Local vendors selling water and seasonal fruits are by the main gate. 📍Address: Tha Wasukri, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya 13000, Thailand 💰Average Price per Person: 50 Baht. 💞Reasons to Recommend: Learning about historical events, cultural history and learning from local people is priceless. 📸 Photos are permitted. However to demonstrate courtesy, pictures should be taken from a kneeling or crouching position. Men are encouraged to wear long pants and women to cover knees and shoulders. 🏎 Getting there from Bangkok is as easy as booking a grab ride, riding a motorbike or taking a bus for a self guided tour, alternatively speak to your nearest travel agent for a guided tour. #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #thailand #bangkok #daytrip #ayutthaya #ayutthayahistoricalpark #summervacation #wintergetaway #2024wish #trip #tripmoments #泰国 #去哪里 #去哪儿

#traveldiaries I just returned from an amazing trip to Bansko, Bulgaria, and it was everything I hoped for and more! 🏔️ Nestled in the Pirin Mountains, this charming town is a perfect winter getaway. I went skiing at the Bansko Ski Resort, where the lift pass cost around 70 BGN for a day. The slopes were well-maintained, catering to all levels, and the views were absolutely breathtaking! After a day on the slopes, I explored the town's cobblestone streets, filled with cozy restaurants and shops. I tried some local dishes like banitsa and kavarma, and they were delicious! 🍽️ The après-ski scene was lively, with many bars offering warm drinks and a friendly atmosphere. I also took a day to visit the nearby Rila Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which was about a 90-minute drive away and totally worth it. Bansko is the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, making it a must-visit destination! #trip #Bansko #SkiingBulgaria #PirinMountains #BulgarianCuisine #WinterGetaway

#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" #summerdestinations #summervacation #springholiday #wintergetaway #wintertrip #greatwall #china #chinatrip #chinatravel #chinalife #localguides #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #instatravel

What’s best than spending some time in the royal city? The place is filled with history, breathtaking sights and endless tourist attractions (: Getting There - Metro everywhere!! Use your contactless card as the oyster card for the metro/bus, is wayy more convenient and cheaper! Oh, And i do not recommend the buses at peak hours, the traffic is insane sometimes. Attractions - National Gallery, Barbican, Hide Park, London eye and the big ben! Hotels - Stayed at the Dorsett Shepherds Bush next to the Westfield mall and the Sheperds Bush station, really well connected and the giant bed was the comfyest ever!! Food & Restaurants - Highly recommended going to Côte for Steak and Frites or the good old Five guys for a great burger :) Shopping - If you want souvenirs you can go at the British Museum neighborhood, or do the good old shopping spree at the Tottenham Court Road Enjoyyy ☀️ #wintergetaway #familytrip #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #london #uk #instatravel #uktravel

In winter, past holidays, we usually get the feeling to be more cozy at home, but for me, it’s time to get out and visit new places!! And where better than at The Big Apple?? Brooklyn, Central Park, Rockfeller Center, High Line, Upper East Side and so many more vibrant places to discover there!! I recommend that you stay within walking distance of the main sites, between Times Square and Madison Square Park, so that you can make the most of the overground part of the city 🏙️ You can walk all day in the High line just to party all night next to times square, and don’t forget to eat your pizza slice at 1am in the city that never sleeps!! #newyork #newyearadventure #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #empirestatebuilding #trip #wintergetaway

During my winter trip to Grand Canyon National Park in January, I was mesmerized by the serene beauty of the snow-dusted landscape. The cooler temperatures brought a crispness to the air and a quiet solitude to the usually bustling park. The contrast of the red canyon walls against the white snow was breathtaking. Hiking trails were less crowded, offering peaceful treks with panoramic views of the vast canyon. The calm of the season allowed me to take in the majesty of the Grand Canyon from various lookout points without the usual crowds. The visit was a peaceful and picturesque escape into nature's grandeur. #grandcanyon #wintergetaway #majesticviews #friendstrip #familytrip #nationalpark #Sunny #mytravelhacks #localguides #historicallandmarks #mysteriousplaces #Lovelysunsets #sunsets #travel #Lifegoals

Places featured: St. Sophia Cathedral (free) Zhongyang Street (free) Stalin Park (free) Songhua River (free) Zhaolin Park (free) Snow and Ice World (328 rmb) These are all places you can visit which is in fairly close proximity to each other (walking distance if you don’t mind). I started walking from St. Sophia Cathedral, stopped at Zhaolin Park and ended at Songhua river. Stalin Park is right next to it. Except for the Snow and Ice world, I took a taxi from the Stalin Park to there. Btw Songhua river has a lot of activities you can try plus shopping malls close by. #trip #china #harbin #wintergetaway #instatravel

This literally felt like a fairy world! I can’t imagine going any other time than winter. The snow makes the surroundings even more beautiful. I definitely recommend visiting if you arrive Harbin. I paid 170 yuan for the ticket plus bus transport. Pickup is at Zhoulin hotel which is right outside the Meteorological Observatory metro station. Drive to the manor is approximately 1 hour give or take. Scan your ticket upon arrival and you’re good to go. They do have buses in the park so if you get tired just find the nearest stop and wait. There are restaurants if you get hungry but you can also bring your food if you want. #harbin #wintergetaway #china #trip #localguides

Yellow fall, can be seen only in winter season. We went there by 2nd week of February. To the way to there, you need to take 2 robe rift on the half of the mountain and they walk till to the fall. Hiring local guide should be favorable not to get loss path. It could take 3 hrs for round trip by foot and then take a lift ride to the bottom of mountain. Need to prepare Snow shoe Handle Gloves Hat Warm water and some snacks #wintergetaway

A villa home away from home🏖, just 15 minute drive south of the airport which is great for a late arrival flight like ours. our plan was to travel Bali a little but after arriving at such a peaceful paradise we decided to just stay in our villa and relax. The private 🏊🏻pool is a really good size with extra shallow part in the shade if you have smaller children. cooking facilities available although the food from the restaurant was delicious, the salmon was a highlight as were the salads 🥗. Breakfast was pretty good too good selection and eggs to your liking every morning. Fridge was a good size and just what we needed to keep your drinks cool ready for the cocktail mix 🍹🍸😋. Dining area was beautifully set up every morning, and it just had such a lovely home away from home feel, whether it was reading a book by the pool or splashing around in the pool. There are 2 other big pools 🏊🏻in communal areas where you can just enjoy the view and green scenery, very clean and well maintained😀. Close to local amenities and a short drive from the beach and restaurants.#familytrip #villas #bali #wintergetaway #wintertrip #christmastrip

I went to this market on the 10th day of our stay in Korea. It is one of the most recommended tourist attractions for international travelers, specially if you're a foodie. It is also one of the oldest and traditional markets in South Korea. I tried Red-been Hotteok and the 10 Won Coin Pancake. I spent 2,000 won and 3,000 won, respectively. I wanted to try other foods but I didn't like to stay longer in the market cos of the smell lol Be sure to go there with empty tummy so you can try as much as you can. Getting there: • 3 mins walk from Jongno 5-ga Station (line 1, exit 7/8) • 5 mins walk from Euljiro 4-ga Station (line 2/5, exit 4) Address: 88, Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul In 2024, I want to try some delicacies from around the world. #2024wish #foodie #tripblazers #wintergetaway

Part 1. Inside edition. The photos are views from the observatory. Going to this tower has always been my dream. Unfortunately, I couldn't get clear photos of the city view because it was cloudy all day. Things we did in the tower: 1. Took photos at the entrance of the tower. 2. Bought mini melts at the vending machine. 3. Bought a souvenir, the N Seoul Tower coin. You should also try the restroom in the tower as it has a glass wall to enjoy the view. Date visited: January 3rd, 2024 #seoultrip #nseoultower #namsantower #seoul #tripblazers #tripmoments #wintergetaway

This is SEOUL SKY. It is located on floors 117-123 of Lotte World Tower, the nation's tallest and the world's fifth tallest building. It offers a panoramic view of the Han river and the entire city. There are plenty of coffee shops and seats where you can relax and watch the sunset - if you're going in the evening. I enjoyed walking on the glass floor where you can view below. That was thrilling! We planned to go here to cross the Sky Bridge, unfortunately, it is not open in winter. We prolly should come back to try it. Date visited: January 4,2024 Address: 300, Olympic-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul #seoultrip #seoulskyobservatory #lotteworldtower #lotteworld #tripblazers #tripmoments #wintergetaway

I visited Kuang Si Falls on Christmas Day during my tour of Luang Prabang, Laos. The waterfalls were breathtaking, and it felt like I stepped into a fantasy world. The water was a bright turquoise color and there were seven layers of waterfalls flowing into small ponds. There are even areas where you could swim. Just keep in mind that the water is chilly. The waterfalls were an hour away from the city of Luang Prabang but you can get there with a tour or by renting a motorbike. After passing through the entrance, the staff takes people in an electric vehicle to the waterfalls. Then you can just enjoy the hike up the seven layers and learn about the conservation of Laos’s endangered moon and sun bears. For photos, I highly recommend at any time of day! #localguides #naturalwonders #wintergetaway #christmastrip

This is Cafe Gabaedo. It is only a few minutes walk from our hotel. It is a Japanese-style cafe that has a cozy and quiet atmosphere. It is a small cafe between Courtyard Marriot and the train station exit 4. The building has a traditional structure. You can also buy candies and some goodies in this cafe. We ordered matcha latte and tiramisu(chocolate). The tiramisu is so good, you should try it. We still have few more days left here in Seoul so we'll definitely go back. Location: 11, NANDAEMOON-RO, CHOONG-KU SEOUL-CITY #seoultrip #seoul #foodie #cafe #wintergetaway

The narrative of this gorgeous and fascinating botanic garden began more than three centuries ago when Pan Yunduan was the Ming-era governor of Sichuan province and he decided to construct it for his parents to enjoy in their old age to show filial piety. Yu Garden is recognized as the Garden of Peace and Comfort for this reason, and it serves as a symbol. As I strolled around the garden, I felt peace and harmony. Even though I was surrounded myself by a bunch of tourists. My conscious was clear, I could expect that, so I just went with the tide. I was calm, comfortable with myself, and focused On photographing shots of some intriguing Elements of the surroundings. The majority of these stones and woods impressed me, as did the way the sun found its way through them to create stunning shadows that gave the entire area a distinct aurora! ☺️🪨🧘🍃🐲 #passionpassport #freehotelstay #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #localguides #shanghai #china #wintergetaway

#christmastrip What better way to celebrate the holidays than a trip to the most magical place on earth: DISNEYLAND! It’s easy to have an amazing day at Disney any time, but the holidays really make a difference. The decorations are everywhere and the characters are dressed in their holiday finest. Tips ❄️ Go during the week to avoid some of the crowds. ❄️Look out for special holiday snacks like Duffy gingerbread cookies, cakes, and hot chocolate. ❄️Download the Shanghai Disneyland app to check ride wait times, plus timing for shows and parades. #shanghai #disney #wintergetaway

Located in the mountainous region of Kanto area, Gunma, you'll be stunned by the beauty of this small town where onsens dated back in Edo era are highlighted. You can also have a foot bath while drinking a can of beer next to the main stream, Yubatake area. Can be visited all year round but the winter season will make your photos more dramatic creating a beautiful contrast with their ancient houses. Book one of the ryokans or traditional inn and grab their free yukata clothing during your stay and wear it while roaming around the town. And don't forget to watch their traditional kneading of thermal water known as Yumomi. #trip #wintergetaway #onseninjapan

Getting There - Train Beijing - Chongli Attractions - Skiing Hotels - Many options We spent a weekend in Chongli during the winter and I think we will repeat this every year. Very convenient to take the train from Beijing North station or Qinghe station. I recommend to plan in advance and buy the ticket when they are released two weeks in advanced 🎫 You can choose from different ski centers according to your wish and abilities. Weather in February can be cold but we were lucky with sun on the Saturday so we could enjoy our lunch in the sun outdoors. If you live in Beijing this is definitely a cool place to go during the long wintertime. We fell in love with Thaiwoo ski resort as it has everything we need. Different restaurants, ski activities, afterski events and they even have a band that plays outside if the weather allows. #snowboard #wintergetaway #resort #chongli

I know many adjectives, but they all fail me when I need them to capture how I feel about Bali. One simply has to 'do' Bali to understand. Bali in unimaginably beautiful, not only the place, but moreso the people, and there are an endless number to things to do, see, feel and experience. Escape to Bali for the magical experiences that will last you an entire lifetime! #wintergetaway

This is an exhibition of unusual sculptures on lake Baikal in Siberia. The Incredible Ice Formations Of Lake Baikal Look Like Extraterrestrial Sculptures. Located in the Russian region of Siberia, Lake Baikal is the world’s deepest and most voluminous freshwater lake. It contains approximately 23% of the world’s surface water! How to get there. If you are traveling from a nearby town (such as Irkutsk or Ulan-Ude), you can also get to Baikal lake by bus or by car. Baikal Lake is situated along the Trans-Siberian route, so if you take that route, you absolutely have to stop at Baikal. There is no excuse if you don't, because traveling 5000 km with a train and bypassing this beautiful lake would be something you'd regret for the rest of your life! There are two main means of transport to get to Baikal lake: by plane or by train. If you are traveling from a nearby town (such as Irkutsk or Ulan-Ude), you can also get to Baikal lake by bus or by car. Below, we will look at each of these means in more detail, but first — a short look at the main cities close to Baikal (so that you know your destination). The Cities on Baikal The three main points of access to Baikal are Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude cities and Slyudyanka settlement. You can get to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude by plane, train (Trans-Siberian), or bus. Slyudyanka is a stop along the Trans-Siberian also, and you get get there by bus from Irkutsk too. There's also Baikalsk on the eastern shore of Baikal lake, but fewer trains stop there, and it is of no interest. From Irkutsk you can either go to Lisvyanka (popular village, which is the closest place on Baikal (65 km - around 1.5 hours by bus or car)), Olkhon island (which is complete wilderness, but with all the comforts - 250 km - about 7 hours by bus or car), Port Baikal (to start the Circum Baikal railway) - next to Listvyanka, or to Slyudyanka (which is slightly further, but is a good point to explore Circum Baikal). Some river transport can take you for a day trips to one of the bays further North from Listvyanka. Where to stay. Plenty of hotels or guesthouses at Olkhon island. Shipping A lot of local souvenir shop at Olkhon island Where to eat. Numerous of nice restaurants at the main road of the village. #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #2023travelwish #wintergetaway #couplestrip ##tripblazers

There is nowhere quite like magical Venice! If you've ever wondered where all those renaissance painters got their inspiration from, fly into Venice early in the morning and get the boat over to the island. Arriving with the morning glow over Venice explains everything. It's a wonder to see and transports you back in time! Getting around is super easy! You can wander the streets, getting lost down tiny alleys which suddenly open up into big squares is such a wonderful adventure! But if you want to travel over to Murano etc is super easy, just download the travel app, pay before you board and away you go! Venice is magical place which is super easy to get to and get around! It should be on everyone's bucket list as there no place quite like it! #bucketlistreboot #wintergetaway #awesomepic #venice #bucketlist
