Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to Zhaoxing Dong Village, the last traditional village I visitted when I was in Guizhou, China. If you follow my blog, we’ve explored Wujiang Village and Miao Village. Both villages are developed and lively, with beautiful, Instagrammable views. In Zhaoxing Dong Village, you’ll feel a different atmosphere—a more authentic, village vibe. A quiet life and relaxing walks in the park, just being present… Not many group tours visit this village because it’s far (around 2-3 hours from Miao Village) and there’s not much to do. However, I feel this village has its charm ✨📸🤳 I don’t have many things to say about…

Meow-ing with the Miao Tribe in Miao Village, Guizhou
Meoow friends, thank you for dropping by my blog! This week, we’ll explore another exciting village in Guizhou: the Miao Village in Guizhou 😸😸😸 The name comes from the Miao tribe, which resides there. As it sounds like cats, the animal becomes a symbol not only in Miao Village, but also in Guizhou. That’s why you’ll see many cat icons in Guizhou, China! I stayed for one night in a comfortable homestay here. It was good that no big tourist buses could enter the village, so the area was less crowded and polluted. I was advised to pack clothes and necessary things for 3D2N in a small bag because the…

Guizhou Trip: Wujiang Village and Wujiang Zhailongwan Hotel
Hi, everyone! I just returned from Guizhou, China, three weeks ago. For the first blog post, let’s explore the charming Wujiang Village and Wujiang Zhailongwan Hotel! Fyi, this isn’t a paid post. I want to write about the hotel too because I like its interior design and had a pleasant stay 😊❤️✨ If you’re a Malaysian, please maximize your chance to explore China before the end of this year, since you won’t need a tourist visa. If you’re a non-Malaysian and are staying in Kuala Lumpur, THIS IS YOUR GOLDEN CHANCE to apply for a Chinese tourist visa conveniently 🔥🔥🔥 Guys, I’m serious. This is a PSA – public service…

Feeling Zen at Ryogen-in Temple, Kyoto
Hello, friends! Today, let’s explore the beautiful and famous zen rock garden in Japan, the Ryogen-in Temple, Kyoto! When I edited my travel photos for this blog post, it was raining outside and there was a thunderstorm. What an opposite weather to my previous post, eh? Hehe! 😄 Coincidentally, it was also a rainy day when the group tour, my sister, and I went to Ryogen-in Temple, Kyoto. I know there are many temples in Japan and they all look similar. However, the temple I will take you to today is different. I wish I could have more time there to stare at the beautiful rock garden design with a…

Hi, friends! Today, let me take you on a slow travel on a rainy day in Hvar, Croatia. I’m so in the mood to write this blog post because… last weekend was HOT, HOT, HOT in Malaysia 🥵☀️😂 One of the beautiful days I had in Croatia was surprisingly… a rainy day in Hvar. For the first time in my life, I was present on a rainy day – relaxed on the sofa and did nothing. Just watched the rain poured down, enjoyed the breeze, and listened to the music… If I were at home or work, I would be in front of my laptop or busy doing other things.…
