Travel China: Day Trip to Bingling Temple Caves, Lanzhou

I decided to book the local group tour on my 3rd final days at Lanzhou. I was looking forward to visiting Dunhuang for famous Mogao Grottoes but the place was affected by the flood . I am more interest in Mogao Grottoes than Bingling or Maijishan Grottoes. I have visited Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang so Bingling Temple cave doesn't impress me at all. Maybe I will try to visit Mogao another year when I continue my silk road journey to Urumqi. I booked the tour from the local travel agent. It was a bus group tour with Mandarin speaking tour guide. Joined me that day are all local Aunties and Uncles. A bit havoc but overall fine. Just do your own thing, everything would be fine. The bus departed as early as 7am from Lanzhou City Hotel where everyone gathered.  My hotel packed some breakfast for me. Cold breakfast! Well..better than nothing. Forgot to snap my breakfast box from Hotel - hard-boiled egg, cold mantao, halal sausage, bread and box of milk. How I commun

Travel China : 10 Things To Do At Lanzhou

I continued my Silk Road Journey last July. I have been to Beijing ,   Shanghai ,  Hangzhou and Xi'an. From Xi'an , I head to Lanzhou. Big Thank You to AirAsia to fly direct to Lanzhou since last year. I was the happiest when they announce the new route. Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu province and a door to northwestern China and a great start place if you are planning to take the bullet train or even domestic flight to Urumqi. My initial plan is to visit Urumqi but due to time constraint, I forgo my intention and settled with Lanzhou - Xining instead. I will continue my silk road journey some other time. Most people say not many things to see in Lanzhou. As for me who don't believe in touch n go travel spend few days at Lanzhou to explore more. Traveller especially foreign will only spend a day or two here at Lanzhou before head to Jiayuguan and Dunhuang. If you have 4 days 3 Nights , here some idea Things To Do in Lanzhou . 1. Explore the Yellow Riv

Things To do in HuaHin : Into the Wild at Kaeng Krachan National Park

fsefsfss I was determined to visit Kaeng Krachan which is about one and a half hours from HuaHin to check out this untouched National Park and also a border to Myanmar. You can't just visit this place without any tourist guide. So I  hired one private car with a driver to guide me into the jungle. When I reached the National Park area, I feel thrilled. Fresh traced of Wild Elephant is everywhere. I read before if got lucky or rather unlucky, you can witness live panther roaming around. I don't pray to meet one. I must be crazy to pray for one??? huhuhuhuh My tour guide brought me into some simple jungle trekking because I told him my disability to go for a harder trekking course due to a day before I was on a difficult hike. Check out my painful hike at Pranburi .  I have to take off my shoes to cross the Pranburi River to get to the other side of Kaeng Krachan National Park. I don't meet many animals here. Just fresh elephant dunk, a glim

Travelogue : 8th Day, Jeju-do

13th October 2018, Saturday Wake up with some lazy mood in my head. I decided not to drive anywhere today. Plus my phone suddenly acting up. I guess too heavy task for many days already. Today when I wake up it just unable to start. It just went black out. I was so upset with worry I lost all my photos from this trip. What should I do? Seriously worried. I still have my tablet to take a photo but you know la...tablet is super heavy and big too. I decided to explore nearby my Hotel area. It was Saturday. I decided to walk around Dongmun Market, Jungang Underground Shopping Center and then at night walk back to Dongmun Nightmarket. Like I said there was a 57th Tamna Festival in Jeju during my stay. Almost every day at Jeju City is the festival atmosphere. Many programmes going on. While walking toward the Market saw a bunch of kids with funny costume getting ready to perform. hehehe Dongmun Traditional Market, Jeju City This traditional market is one of the most p
