Trip Moments Recommendations
The Dreamy Gubei Water Town
Getting There - I took a trip with FCN/ Laowai, which provided me with bus transportation from Chaoyang Beijing to Gubei Water Town
Attractions - The whole town is an attraction. At 7 pm they have musical fountain show, but this is no ordinary fountain show. So, if you come here, make sure you watch it. During the day, they have a variety of traditional music performances, opera, etc.
Hotels - They have a resort and smaller hotels with varying level of service/amenities. I did not stay overnight my first time there, but I kinda regretted it. The hotels look so cute with fake-traditional
Food & Restaurants - There are many restaurants, coffee shops, and many many tea houses.#gubei #gubeiwatertown #traditionaltown #traditional #china #replica #chinatrip

SHANGHAI - MUST VISIT ⛩️💕❤️
This was an amazing visit with a beautiful landscape and aesthetics of this water town
🚗 - About 30+ km away from the hub of Shanghai about 120-190RMB if you decide to use DiDi or similar apps
🎟️- There are 3 price ranges of tickets when you get in 40 RMB, 60 RMB and 80 RMB they all cater to the places you can access. The 40RMB option is adequate enough. Most of the pictures are in the Kezhi Garden and each location is huge ❤️
🛶- If you’d like to get on the boat you can get them in front of the Kezhi Garden for 200 RMB. each boat can carry up to 6 people so the more people the cheaper to split
It’s definitely worth the fee for the views 😍
🍜- If you get hungry there are many food stalls that service delicious food as well. #shanghai #china #traditional #traditional

"Seoul-authentic" Hanok Village
Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, is a vibrant metropolis that seamlessly blends modernity with its rich cultural heritage. While it is known for its skyscrapers and bustling cityscape, Seoul also boasts traditional houses and buildings that provide a glimpse into its past.
One of the most prominent examples of traditional architecture in Seoul is the Bukchon Hanok Village. Located between Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, this well-preserved neighborhood showcases hundreds of hanok, which are traditional Korean houses. The hanok feature elegant curved roofs, wooden pillars, and exquisite detailing. Some of them have been converted into guesthouses, museums, and cultural centers, allowing visitors to experience the traditional way of living.
Another notable traditional building in Seoul is Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of the Five Grand Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty. Built in the 14th century, it served as the royal residence and administrative center. Gyeongbokgung Palace exhibits remarkable architectural elements, such as the Geunjeongjeon Hall with its ornate throne room and the Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, which sits on an artificial lake. The palace complex also houses the National Palace Museum of Korea, where visitors can explore historical artifacts.
These traditional houses and buildings in Seoul offer a glimpse into the city's cultural heritage and provide a contrast to its modern urban landscape. Exploring these sites allows visitors to appreciate the beauty and significance of traditional Korean architecture while immersing themselves in Seoul's rich history.

The City of Dreams
I've lived in Shanghai for 4 years, and it's my favorite city in the world. It's fun, modern, traditional, and filled with so many options! Here are some of my must-do recommendations for your visit:
Visit the Bund: The Bund is a waterfront promenade that offers stunning views of the city skyline. It's a great place to walk, take photos, or just people-watch.
Explore Yu Gardens: Yu Gardens are a beautiful example of traditional Chinese gardens. They're a great place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Take a walk through a water village: There are several water villages located around Shanghai. These villages are a great way to experience the traditional way of life in China.
Visit Disney Resort Shanghai: Disney Resort Shanghai is a great place to visit if you're traveling with children or if you're a child at heart. There are rides, shows, and attractions for everyone to enjoy.
Sample the local cuisine: Shanghai is a foodie's paradise! There are restaurants serving food from all over the world, but I recommend trying some of the local specialties, such as xiaolongbao (steamed dumplings), wonton noodles, and Shanghainese fried rice.
No matter what your interests are, you're sure to find something to love in Shanghai.

Bamboo Roasted Restaurant Siem Reap
#wecreate #local #food #localfood #traditional #cambodia #restaurant #siemreap #explorer #adventurous
ម្លប់ឫស្សី បារាយណ៍ (Bamboo Roasted Siem Reap) located at Unnamed Road, Krong Krong Siem Reap, 17714, Cambodia is a place that serves real local traditional cambodia food.
I was brought by locals to this place since I wanted to try something local and indeed it was. There were dishes like fried worms, tarantula and many others on the menu. I was that adventurous so instead I tried the local bbq chicken(which was abit tough), the local caught fish with their home made chilli paste which was mixed with red ants and chilli giving you that crunchy feel. Also, had the chance to try the bee eggs which felt abit like a bubble tea pearl just that it's more of a salty sweet taste with abit of bee wax. Oh and lastly, we had a dessert that was shaved coconut shavings with brown sugar, that was amazing!
The place here also is a very family oriented restaurant as you can see the tables here are spread out individually in a hut, ideal for big gatherings.
Travel on Foot through the Traditional Gukje Market
Gukje Market located in 부산광역시 중구 국제시장2길 25, Busan is a traditional market filled with alleyways crowded with stores that offers a variety of dried goods, food stock, sauces, household items etc
Worth a visit as you can truly experience an authentic korean's culture in this place!
Do try out their traditional jujube tea which can be found in one of those shops for an even more richer experience!

South Korea (Daehan Min-guk) 🇰🇷
Korea is a fantastic country for sightseeing and adventuring, and although your rural town may be beautiful, you are likely to exhaust its activities quickly enough to want to explore the rest of Korea. In a city like Seoul or Busan it is easy to find something new going on each weekend, and thus you find yourself never venturing further than where you live. You will have an amazing time, but you may be missing out on what’s going on in the rest of the country! And, although it may take that little bit longer to get there, transport in Korea really is pretty great, and with a free tourist information call centre (021-330) it’s easy to organise too. Furthermore, the smaller towns and lesser known sights nearby where you live are so much more available to you than someone living in the city, meaning you are exploring way more than just the Lonely Planet top ten. This will give you a deeper understanding of the history, culture, geography and people of Korea.

Visit the Ancestral House in Cebu
Dating back to the Spanish colonial era of the 1600s, the Yap Sandiego Ancestral House is a museum that sheds light on the Chinese settlements of the city. It is said to be among the first Chinese houses to be built outside of the country. Find out about the unusual blend of Spanish and Chinese cultures that infiltrated the Philippines centuries ago.
Note that the structure is built from a mixture of wood and coral stones, with red tiles making up the curved roof. Enjoy the green ambiance generated by the potted plants flanking the entrance walkway.
Enter the building and gaze up at the hanging chandeliers and the interior part of the red-tile ceiling that is held together by dark, wooden beams. Creaking floorboards and lingering echoes evoke a bygone era. Imagine the family members and friends who spent time here over the centuries. Browse the majestic statues and artistic collections put together by choreographer Val Sandiego.
The house is thought to have been constructed sometime between 1675 and 1700. Chinese merchant Don Juan Yap built the site as a residence for himself and his wife Doña Maria Florido. Learn about their offspring and subsequent generations. The head of the Parian district married into the family in the 1880s. Understand who they were through historical paintings of Ceubu and intriguing relics from family life, which include period furniture and a clay jar that stored water.
The building teaches us about the architectural styles of the houses here centuries ago, including the fact that they often had second stories. Pay a small entrance fee to access the building and its museum. It opens daily from morning until early evening.
The Yap Sandiego Ancestral House is in the Parian neighborhood in the southeastern part of the city. Take a jeepney bus to the stops of Mabini St. or Zulueta St. Marvel at the sculptures and scenes portrayed in the Heritage of Cebu Monument nearby and wander down Colon Street, which is among the country’s oldest roads.

A Traditional Restaurant In Lugu Township
#newyearadventure #foodie #taiwanese #traditional #chinese #authentic #restaurant #lugubrious #nantou
Doing your roadtrip in Taiwan and happen to be in Nantou in Lugu Township, you have to head to 溪頭和雅谷餐廳 or also called hoyaku, located at No. 57-2, Xingchan Rd, Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan 55842. Most local Taiwanese tour buses head here for this Chinese food where they come in sets of 2/46 or 8 pax.
I recommend to go for the set with fish, as they have their own pond where they rear fishes of 3 different breeds and its as fresh as it can get. The waiters here are friendly especially if you can't speak Chinese, they will try their very best to help and recommend the best of the best dishes. We definitely enjoyed ourselves, and had a tummy filled with traditional Taiwanese dishes.
Feels Bali inside the mall
If you wanna feels Balinese ambiance in South Tangerang, Ubud Paradise is the place. Located in the roof top of the Living World mall, Alam Sutera, this place used to be a restaurant.

Visit an old traditional village, Prai Ijing in Waikabubak Sumba- Indonesia
It was a great time to visit Prai Ijing Traditional Village in Waikabubak, West Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. It’s a well-kept traditional house complex aged over hundreds of years. There are around 30 traditional houses survived in Prai Ijing, making this complex genuinely a place to witness the footage of Sumbanese ancient cultural heritage inherited from one generation to another. As the houses are lower than the main road, it’s nice to take a photo of the complex from above or take your best pose with Prai Ijing your background.

torrepaduli tamburelli
#celebratewithtrip
The village of Torrepaduli belongs to the municipality of Ruffano, in the province of Lecce, region Puglia.
TAMBURELLISTI DI TORREPADULI is the soul of Taranta Music the most famous "tamburelli" playing number since ever.
Among these villages we are fascinated by Ruffano, a somewhat deserted country in the center of Italy’s heel, in the low Salento. One of the peculiarities that immediately jump to the eye of the land where the country rises is the “serre”, a sort of little hills.
The same village is not as flat as most of the Salento’s centers but it is inert on one of them, as it is visible as if it were a thick coat of arms, it is the one to the right of the village bordered by a holm oaks and oak forest. Products related to tradition are also tambourines. In the hamlet of Torrepaduli, the kingdom of Pizzica, master Rocco Luca builds his instruments, the famous Tamburelli of Torrepaduli. Produced entirely in handicrafts with kid’s or bigger ones, goat’s.
The frames are made of beech wood and treated only with natural oils. And those are the ones played by “The Tamburellists of the Torrepaduli”, the group set up by Rocco in the late 1980s and soon became famous, not only in Salento. Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli are the one band musically and conceptually closer to the ideal of Graecia Magna, due to the fact that they have re-proposed the Greek tradition of monody and released several albums of grìko music and taranta

The Antique, one of a kind pottery house
Looking for a traditional way of pottery apart from the many pottery classes now you see in town, cbd areas? You have to head to Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle located at 85 Lor Tawas, Singapore 639823. This place is abit hard to get to as its located outside of NTU, right before lim chu kang which is quite a deserted place but still worth a visit.
This place which I believe is the one of the only place which I was told that they use a fire blast with extremly high heat to blast the pottery and this will harden the pottery making this more durable and authentic. This is a family business that has been operating since 1965 which makes this place special and must visit.

The history of China, one of the oldest cultures in the world, stretches back thousands of years and is full of stories. Visitors to Haw Par Villa, a treasury of legendary narratives, can learn about Chinese tradition and religious beliefs.
This place was not as crowded as other attractions in Singapore and also the entrance was free. Moreover, there is a Hell Museum here and admission was fee-based. We didn't want to visit, maybe I were a little scared. But those who are interested can also visit here.
