Target destination next year to visit: Shanghai, China! This travel plan is sureness! 🤣 Shanghai is China's most westernised city that rivals New York or Paris in terms of infrastracture, fashion, and everything modern.

It offers a fascinating mix of East and West. It has historic houses that blend the styles of Chinese architecture and European design flair. It has one of the richest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

The most magnificent golden hour moments in Southeast Asia can be experienced in two places: Angkor archaeological complex in the Siem Reap province of Cambodia and Pattaya City in the Chon Buri province of Thailand.

"Golden Hour" is a metaphor. It actually means the period of time just after sunrise or just before sunset when the light is infused with red and gold tones.

In layman's term, the last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise where the horizon looks like a painting, a natural phenomenon. Professional photographers referred to it as “magic hour,” because it provides the perfect light to capture stunning photos.

If you're looking for a top destination in Asia where glamour and elegance of the modern life and the essence of the old tradition and culture meet, then Shanghai is the best place for you to visit.

It is China's highly westernised city that can rival Paris or New York when it comes to modernity, technology, fashion, and lifestyle. It's where the rich and the famous in mainland China often go.

Shanghai is one of the world's major centers for finance, business and economics, research, science, technology, and manufacturing.

Most travelers would agree that it is Asia's most glamorous city. World's famous fashion houses regularly organize fashion and runway shows in Shanghai than any other cities in Asia.

The Shanghai Tower, which opened recently, is the world's third tallest building after Dubai's Bhurj Khalifa and Kuala Lumpur's Merdeka 118.

Despite its highly modern landscape and skyscraping buildings, Shanghai retains elements of the old world and the essence of its culture and tradition.

Some of its popular destinations:

1. The Bund, the mile-long waterfront promenade along Huangpu River. It has buildings boasting several architectural styles including gothic and baroque.

2. The Oriental Pearl Tower. It's one of the most iconic landmarks in Shanghai that gives identity to the city. It is the world's sixth tallest TV and radio tower. The inner is a recreational palace. It has a revolving restaurant and the large lower sphere has a futuristic space city and a fabulous sightseeing hall. It's the favorite backdrop of celebrity and brand photoshoots.

3. Yu Garden, a classical Chinese garden and one of the most beautiful gardens in Shanghai. Roughly translated into Garden of Happiness, Yu Garden is believed to have been built over 400 years ago by the Ming Dynasty.

Chinese gardens are intended to evoke the feeling of being in the natural world, and with over two hectares of pathways, pavilions and ancient flora, it’s the perfect break from the city’s busy streets.

4. French Concession. Built between 1849 and 1943 this area, which is south of the former British settlement, was handed back to China by the French authorities during World War II, but it retains its Frenchy character: chic architecture, fashionable boutiques, cocktail bars and restaurants, cafés and patisseries.

5. Nanjing Road. This is the most famous shopping and dining area in Shanghai. It's a blend of classic architecture and modern creativity.

6. Green parks. Despite its modern skyscrapers, Shanghai retains its green space. It is home to hundreds of square miles of green space. In fact, visiting the parks of the city is one of the greatest pastimes enjoyed by local residents and visitors, providing a chance to experience the local lifestyle of Shanghai.

The sound of the waves is a natural form of a "white noise". It's a type of noise that masks disruptive sounds in the environment. White Noise is often used in meditation and in the therapy session with people who have trouble sleeping. That's why the sound of the waves frees our mind from anxiety and relaxes our tired body. So find time to go to the beach and listen to the crashing of the waves to de-stress.

There are many islands and islets in Britania Group of Islands in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur, Caraga Region, Mindanao, but we only visited Boslon Island. #island #philippinebeaches #beach

#Pattaya City is more than just a nightlife hub, it has so many things to offer to tourists. Just two hours from Bangkok via bus, it's the nearest city where tourists can experience a Thai beach trip. Pattaya Beach road is so fantastic during the afternoon golden hour.
