Every single random shot is beyond Instagram-worthy and I’m really glad that such a pristine natural beauty still exists. The scenery in entire area blew me away; all the adjectives of beauty in the … Continue reading 稻城亚丁风景区 Garze Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, China
4 days after the quick trip to Seoul to catch Super Show 8, I was off again to China. This trip to China was planned about about 1.5 years ago, believe it or not. I was told that the natural scenery on this tour in Sichuan would be more beautiful than Jiuzhaigou. And now that I am back, it’s not a lie. However, that said, … Continue reading Mt Siguniang, Sichuan, China
I went to China on a group packaged holiday back in June 2018 and I only got the chance to sort through my photos now because I was super busy at work.

The Temple of Heaven (天坛) was another major highlight of my tour of Beijing. I thought that the Forbidden City (紫禁城/故宫) was massive but the Temple of Heaven is about 7 times larger at 2.73 square kilometres. HOLEY SHEET!! Also, technically, the Temple of Heaven was supposed to be an extension/part of the Forbidden City but it became a separate property in the end. I’m not very … Continue reading China Travels: Temple of Heaven (天坛)

Some of you might recognise the places in the photo above from some of … Continue reading China Travels: Forbidden City (紫禁城/故宫)

The plaza is one of the largest plazas in the world … Continue reading China Travels: Tian’anmen Square (天安门广场)
