Wandering Old Shantang At Night

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Old Shantang, Suzhou, one of the loveliest night scenes I’ve had. Too bad that it was too packed with tourists to take my time to enjoy walking along the riverside (/canal-side). Suzhou is one of the wealthiest region in China since the ancient time, known for beauties (both in terms of scenery and people), warm weather and fertile farmland. I love how the history part is quite well preserved.

Tongli- A Tranquil Water Village in Zhejiang

About 40min from Suzhou or 1.5hour drive from Shanghai lies a lovely water village- Tongli. Having much fewer tourists than Suzhou or Shanghai, we could just enjoy wandering in the small town (though there are still quite some tourists in those Chinese gardens, but the density was manageable). Walking along the water canal was just so peaceful and chilled, and it seems like time has slowed down in Tongli.

Temple Run- Day III: Outer City

 

Special thanks to our awesome driver Thanna who showed us around and guide us to the beautiful hidden court in Beng Melea. I’d recommend him if you go to Siem Reap! His contact: https://www.facebook.com/phanna.chork

 

 

Temple Run- Day 1: Sunrise

Arriving at 5am at Angkor Wat watching sunrise with a bunch of people from around the globe (probably a hundred). Heard that the sun’s would rise to the central tower (the tallest point in the middle of the temple in the pic) of Angkor Wat in the right season of the year- not sure which.
