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.

Where To Stay and Eat In Jakarta

Early this year, I have an opportunity to visit Jakarta and work there for a few days. The first trip, I went with my Boss and the latest one which is early July I went for a solo working trip. It was a great experience for me especially for the culture and the variety of food that I tried out when I was there. Where I stay in Jakarta? The place I stayed is about 10 minutes walking distance to our office in Jakarta.  Century Park Hotel Address : Jl, Pintu Senayan , No. 1 RT1/RW 3 , Gelora , Kecamatan Tanah Abang , Kota Jakarta Pusat , Jakarta. Telephone : +62 21 57102041 The room is spacious and the location is so convenient except for the traffic jam. But ...which place in Jakarta is not jam?  Since I was there for a working trip and my office is just walking a distance so traffic jam is not a problem for me at all. One minus point of this hotel is whenever there is a soccer match then this place will be super crowded with the human.

Buying organic products has become increasingly popular over the past decade. People are becoming more informed about the dangers of pesticides and other ingredients that are in their everyday products. Even with all of the research, there is still quite a bit of confusion as to what items are really necessary to buy organic and which ones don't make much difference. The other challenge is that organic products typically cost, so many people are reluctant to make the transition. While you don't need to switch everything you buy, here are some things you should consider getting organic.  Fruits and Vegetables This is where the most confusion comes into play.
