The Bich Dong Pagoda is located on Truong Yen mountains, and built in the style of “三”, the Chinese word which means “three”. The structure is made up of 3 individual pagodas – the bottom pagoda, the middle pagoda and the top pagoda. All 3 pagodas lean on the mountain from the bottom to the top. You’ll have to climb up 120 steps from the bottom pagoda to the middle pagoda. This path also leads to the Dark Cave. At the top pagoda, you’ll get a glimpse of the surrounding greenery. • Since we’ve all been stuck at home for months, what’s the favourite place in your home? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #vietnam #ig_vietnam #visitvietnam #asia #southeastasia #vietnamtravel #vietnamtrip #ninhbinh #igvietnam #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #travelling #travelgram #igtravel #traveltheworld #doyoutravel
Hello! How’s everyone doing? I’m back after taking some time off. How’s the lockdown situation where you’re at? Still coping well? Sending you all lots of virtual hugs and love! • Decided to continue sharing #throwbacks so here’s a mini waterfall Jayden and I passed by on our hike to the Love Waterfall in Sapa. We were there around 11 months ago. The Love Waterfall has a height of around 100 metres and begins from the peak of Fansipan Mountain, gushing noisily into the Gold Stream. As we started the hike to the waterfall very early, we were able to get the entire waterfall to ourselves for awhile. • The name of this waterfall, “Love”, is believed to have been derived from a local legend. Fairies bathed in this waterfall a long time ago, and one of the fairies was mesmerised by a young boy playing the flute, and fell in love with him. Like most legends, the unfortunate fairy’s parents found out and forbade her from returning to the waterfall. She was so devastated that she transformed herself into a bird just to be able to be together with her love forever. From then on, the waterfall is famously known as the Love Waterfall. • I recommend visiting the Love Waterfall in the morning as the air is crisp and fresh, and it felt very cooling to walk through the forest before arriving at the majestic waterfall. If you have time and energy for another hike afterwards, you can visit the nearby Silver Waterfall. • Do you enjoy chasing waterfalls? Which waterfall around the world awed you the most? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #vietnam #ig_vietnam #visitvietnam #asia #southeastasia #vietnamtravel #vietnamtrip #sapa #igvietnam #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #travelling #travelgram #igtravel #traveltheworld #doyoutravel #waterfall #waterfalls
Hangzhou’s West Lake is astonishingly beautiful. The smoothly sparkling water is surrounded by timeworn bridges, temples, pagodas, and lush green, misty mountains. However, it is always overcrowded, making it hard to find a quiet and comfortable spot to relax at, just for yourself. Well … Cheer up! I’ve scouted out a peaceful park in Hangzhou that’s a great alternative for you to unwind at, besides the popular West Lake. • Have you heard of the Eight Diagram Field (八卦田)? Although the octagonal shaped field is made up of eight pieces of land, with a symbol of Yin and Yang in the middle, you will not be able to distinguish it at ground level. I recommend ascending the Jade Emperor Hill for a bird’s eye view of the Eight Diagram Field. I heard that you would have to climb hundreds of steps (perhaps, a thousand) to reach the peak, so lazy me decided to fly the drone instead. • The Eight Diagram Field was formerly used for rituals by emperors to pray for good harvest in ancient times. Today, each piece of land is used to grow a different crop like soybean, barley, wheat, millet, and glutinous rice, just to name a few. However, there are times when the farmers grow sunflowers, rapeseed, and other colourful blossoms. You can always check with the locals before visiting this field when you’re in Hangzhou. Apart from taking a leisure stroll around the field, or a short hike up to the peak of the Jade Emperor Hill, you can also wander around the streams and temples around the area. • Do you have a favourite park or hiking spot around the world? • Ps. Can you spot me? • • • #throwback #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #china #中国 #hangzhou #杭州 #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling #womentravel #travel #doyoutravel
Since I haven’t been able to create new content during this circuit breaker period, I’ve spent a lot of time digging out photos from my previous trips. I’ve done some edits and will be sharing #throwbacks till it’s safe to travel again. Here’s an epic memory from January when I visited Langkawi with one of my girlfriends. To capture this particular shot, 1. The resort’s receptionist threw fish food into the pond to attract the fish into our frame. 2. We mounted the #GoProHero8Black on a tripod, captured a video of me twirling in the dress, and grabbed the video stills using the @gopro @gopromysg app. 3. My girlfriend took back-up photos using my Canon EOS M5 on continuous shooting mode. I’ve lost count on the number of twirls that I’ve done. 4. I ran back and forth barefooted to check the photos and got a cut on my sole. 5. Other resort guests were staring at me, probably thinking I was crazy. To be honest, I’m always going to feel embarrassed, shy and awkward whenever I’m taking pictures in front of a crowd but I try to shrug it off by telling myself that I’ll not cross path with those strangers again. Are you comfortable being in front of the lens or do you prefer to be the photographer? • • • #langkawi #langkawiisland #malaysia #igersmalaysia #igmalaysia #vscomalaysia #ig_malaysia #instamalaysia #asia #southeastasia #travelasia #travelblogger #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #ladieslovetravel #travelling #travelgram #igtravel #traveltheworld #doyoutravel #GoPro #GoProMYSG
Life is like an ocean. You dive into the water, but you can’t see how deep it is. However, even in the middle of a hurricane, the bottom of the ocean is calm. As the storm rages and the wind howls, the deep waters sway in gentle rhythm, a light movement of fish and plant life. Below, there is no storm. Sending everyone positive vibes during this tough time! Which part of the world are you spending quarantine time in and what have you been doing to keep yourself sane? • • • #langkawi #langkawiisland #malaysia #igersmalaysia #igmalaysia #vscomalaysia #ig_malaysia #instamalaysia #asia #southeastasia #travelasia #travelblogger #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #ladieslovetravel #travelling #travelgram #igtravel #traveltheworld #doyoutravel #马来西亚
