    A Relaxing Walk in Zhaoxing Dong Village, Guizhou

    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 atmosphereโ€”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 โœจ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿคณ I don’t have many things to say about…

    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 ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธโœจ 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.

    Jiuzhaigou, A Dream Destination for Nature Lovers

    Hi, friends! This week, let me take you to Jiuzhaigou, a dream destination for nature lovers. It’s another stunning place to satisfy your eyes, mind, and soul ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’– If you read my previous blog about Huanglong, you’ll know I struggled to breathe because of the altitude. Don’t worry, Jiuzhaigou isn’t as high as Huanglong, so most people don’t experience altitude sickness. Actually, Huanglong is the northern end of Jiuzhaigou. People who come to Jiuzhaigou will go to Huanglong too because they’re near. That’s why I wrote about the more difficult trip first before posting this one, hehe! ๐Ÿ˜‰ If you love nature and have a limited budget, both places are…

    Houhai, Beijing: A Charming Travel Spot You Must Visit

    These days I’ve been eating Chinese food because I found a new favourite restaurant. Hence, this week, my memory takes me back to Houhai, a charming lake and travel spot in Beijing. Houhai, a lake surrounded by willow trees and neighbourhood, has been there since the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). It is one of the famous spots to relax and hangout for the locals, especially the nightlife. But to me, the place is most charming during sunset. The willow trees surrounding the lake will steal your heart. It’s so picturesque, straight from a storybook! Besides the beautiful scenery, there are many shops, bars and of course street food!! Alright, I don’t…
