Trip Moment recommendations

As a travel blogger constantly on the move, I have always been searching for destinations that truly relax the body and mind. This time, my discovery of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou completely changed my perception of urban scenic spots. This is not an ordinary park but a vast natural oxygen bar covering 28 square kilometers. In autumn, Baiyun Mountain sheds the humid heat of summer and dons a refreshing and pleasant face, with lush greenery dotted with patches of red leaves, making it a hidden paradise beside the bustling city. 🌄 A Perfect Blend of Classic Routes and Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences My suggestion is to set aside a whole day so you can check off the classic attractions and explore lesser-known secret spots. Start in the morning from the South Gate, take the cable car up the mountain, and easily reach the summit plaza. From here, you can overlook the Guangzhou cityscape, and on clear days, even catch a distant view of the Pearl River. Then walk along the Moxingling direction; this path is shaded by trees and gently sloped, perfect for a slow stroll and leisurely photos. The afternoon highlight is exploring the Huangpodong Reservoir, which most people miss. Turn off the main road onto a small path, and after about a 15-minute walk, you’ll find this hidden valley gem. Surrounded by trees, the reservoir’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the color-changing Chinese tallow trees on the shore, as beautiful as a painting. I sat here for a whole hour, watching sunlight dance on the water and listening to birdsong and the wind, feeling my soul completely cleansed. 📸 Photo Spots Fully Revealed To capture unique Baiyun Mountain photos, be sure to save these spots: Summit Plaza Viewing Platform: Use a telephoto lens to compress space, framing the Canton Tower with the green trees in the foreground, showcasing the harmony between city and nature. Moxingling Trail: Find the curves and use the extending lines for composition to capture the forest’s secret atmosphere. Huangpodong Reservoir: The side light after 3 PM is the most beautiful; stand by the water using the reflection as the foreground to instantly fill the frame with poetry. Nengren Temple: The interplay of red walls and green trees creates a particularly Zen vibe, perfect for cultural shots. 🍵 Deep Temple Zen Experience Nengren Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is an easily overlooked treasure. This ancient temple has a long history, bustling with incense but not commercialized. On autumn afternoons, sunlight filters through ancient trees onto the bluestone paths, and the monks’ chanting drifts on the breeze, instantly calming a restless heart. The temple has a vegetarian restaurant with affordable prices and delicious food, definitely worth trying. 🚶 Practical Tips for a Smoother Trip Baiyun Mountain has multiple entrances; the South Gate is the most convenient by public transport but also the busiest; the West Gate is quieter and better for self-driving. Electric carts connect the main attractions inside the park, which can save energy if used wisely. It’s best to start early in the morning to avoid crowds; after 4 PM is the peak time for descending, and cable cars may have queues. Must-haves: comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (there are many insects in the forested areas). 🌰 Autumn-Only Experiences If you visit Baiyun Mountain this season, be sure to try the mountain spring tofu pudding—refreshing and sweet, eating a bowl in a small mountain shop is especially cozy. After descending, you can also enjoy Cantonese health dishes at the foot of the mountain; autumn recommendations include coconut chicken soup and dried tangerine peel duck, which nourish and relieve dryness. Spending a day at Baiyun Mountain brought me a long-lost tranquility. Unlike other famous mountains that require strenuous climbing, it feels like a gentle elder showing you the beauty of nature in the most comfortable way. This perfect balance of distance—close enough to the city, yet far enough from the noise—is exactly what makes it so charming.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.

#mytraveldiary For a one-of-a-kind perspective of Guangzhou, the Bubble Tram at Canton Tower is an absolute must-try. These transparent capsules glide along the very top of the tower, giving you unobstructed 360° panoramic views of the city.

Floating high above the city, you get a unique sense of scale and beauty that you can’t get from anywhere else. During the day, the views are striking, revealing the city’s mix of modern skyscrapers and historic areas.

Staying at Atlantis The Royal Dubai Resort on my trip to Dubai was a day filled with luxury and stunning aesthetics! 🏝️ This dreamy hotel, located on the outer edge of Palm Jumeirah, had me falling in love from the moment I stepped into the lobby—fountain shows, flame installations, sky gardens... every design element felt like a scene from a futuristic movie! 🌊 Must-See Highlights: Luxury Embedded in Its DNA • Architectural Beauty: The hotel resembles a floating crystal palace, with a 22-story-high atrium hanging breathtaking glass artworks.

There are a few daily trains leaving Riyadh to Dammam. You can take an early morning train, and come back the same day late at night, as I did. Ride takes about 4h one way. Trains are newer type, comfortable enough, some even with a table. They serve some light snacks and drinks on board and you can also pre-order a meal. Tickets should be bought on line and I do recommend at least 3 days in advance as trains are usually full. I booked it two days before and managed to reserve one of the last few still available. Dammam is still growing, but for sure have it on your to do list. Cornish is for sure the place to visit, and the markets around the Marina mall. Getting around is easy enough with a bus, but you do need a bus card. Taxi and Uber is readily available.

Stepping into Mecca isn't just a journey across distance—it's a journey deep into the soul.

And the heart? It finally feels at peace. Ya Allah, thank You for choosing me to walk this sacred land. May every Muslim be granted the honor to visit this holy city, even once in their lifetime. 🤍

The suspended spherical villas feature stainless-steel designs inspired by coral reef formations. With mirror-polished surfaces reflecting ocean and sky colors, they achieve near "invisibility" to minimize visual impact on the natural landscape. Each 150-ton spherical villa took 45 days to construct, hovering above coral reefs with minimal seabed contact through compact support structures to reduce ecological disruption. The mirror facades combine aesthetics with energy efficiency: nearly 100% solar reflectance reduces heat absorption, while insulation materials lower air-conditioning demands. The resort operates entirely on a central solar farm with 11,000 photovoltaic panels, supplemented by a solar-powered desalination plant for freshwater. All waste is recycled on-site, drastically reducing external resource dependence. Surrounded by one of Earth's most pristine coral reefs, the resort offers professional diving gear and eco-tours for guests to explore over 200 marine species, advancing Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" tourism transformation.

Planning a Trip to Istanbul? Here’s What You Should Know 🕌🌉 Welcome to Istanbul — the only city in the world that spans two continents, where East meets West across the stunning Bosphorus Strait. It’s a place where ancient history, rich culture, and modern life blend effortlessly. Here’s how to make the most of your visit: 🏛️ 1. Dive into Centuries of History Don't miss the city's legendary landmarks: 1️⃣Hagia Sophia – a masterpiece of both Christian and Islamic heritage. 2️⃣Blue Mosque – iconic with its six minarets and blue Iznik tiles. 3️⃣Topkapi Palace – former residence of Ottoman sultans, full of treasures. 4️⃣Grand Bazaar – one of the world’s oldest markets with over 4,000 shops. 🕍 Pro Tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds, especially at Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. 🏰 2. Embrace the City’s Dual Heritage Once Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Istanbul later became the heart of the Ottoman Empire. This layered history is visible everywhere—from ancient churches turned mosques to lavish palaces and hammams. 🚢 3. Cross Continents by Ferry A ferry ride on the Bosphorus is a must! It offers beautiful views of Istanbul’s skyline and connects the European and Asian sides of the city. ⏰ Tip: Take a sunset cruise or a local ferry between Eminönü and Üsküdar for scenic photos. 🍽️ 4.

Ancient, alive, and unforgettable. #travel #istanbul #bluemosque #hagia_sophia

Stepping into the Grandview Natural Science Museum feels like entering a dream where nature and science intertwine. The towering dinosaur skeleton at the entrance immediately captures your attention, its ancient and massive form seemingly whispering secrets of a prehistoric world. Every corner of the exhibition hall is filled with the rhythm and miracles of life, from land to sea, from microorganisms to giant beasts, all leaving you in awe. In the biodiversity section, I gazed at the delicate butterfly specimens in the display case, their wing patterns like nature's paintbrush, creating countless brilliant colors. Next, I entered the tropical rainforest simulation hall, surrounded by the sounds of birds and flowing water, with trees and vines creating an atmosphere that made me feel as if I were in a primeval jungle. In the fossil area, amidst the play of light and shadow, I touched the geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years, marveling at the power of nature's creation. Finally, in the children's interactive area, seeing the kids having a blast, I felt the joy of knowledge being passed on. This visit gave me a renewed appreciation for the vastness and mystery of nature, filling my heart with awe and gratitude.

As a travel blogger constantly on the move, I have always been searching for destinations that truly relax the body and mind. This time, my discovery of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou completely changed my perception of urban scenic spots. This is not an ordinary park but a vast natural oxygen bar covering 28 square kilometers. In autumn, Baiyun Mountain sheds the humid heat of summer and dons a refreshing and pleasant face, with lush greenery dotted with patches of red leaves, making it a hidden paradise beside the bustling city. 🌄 A Perfect Blend of Classic Routes and Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences My suggestion is to set aside a whole day so you can check off the classic attractions and explore lesser-known secret spots. Start in the morning from the South Gate, take the cable car up the mountain, and easily reach the summit plaza. From here, you can overlook the Guangzhou cityscape, and on clear days, even catch a distant view of the Pearl River. Then walk along the Moxingling direction; this path is shaded by trees and gently sloped, perfect for a slow stroll and leisurely photos. The afternoon highlight is exploring the Huangpodong Reservoir, which most people miss. Turn off the main road onto a small path, and after about a 15-minute walk, you’ll find this hidden valley gem. Surrounded by trees, the reservoir’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the color-changing Chinese tallow trees on the shore, as beautiful as a painting. I sat here for a whole hour, watching sunlight dance on the water and listening to birdsong and the wind, feeling my soul completely cleansed. 📸 Photo Spots Fully Revealed To capture unique Baiyun Mountain photos, be sure to save these spots: Summit Plaza Viewing Platform: Use a telephoto lens to compress space, framing the Canton Tower with the green trees in the foreground, showcasing the harmony between city and nature. Moxingling Trail: Find the curves and use the extending lines for composition to capture the forest’s secret atmosphere. Huangpodong Reservoir: The side light after 3 PM is the most beautiful; stand by the water using the reflection as the foreground to instantly fill the frame with poetry. Nengren Temple: The interplay of red walls and green trees creates a particularly Zen vibe, perfect for cultural shots. 🍵 Deep Temple Zen Experience Nengren Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is an easily overlooked treasure. This ancient temple has a long history, bustling with incense but not commercialized. On autumn afternoons, sunlight filters through ancient trees onto the bluestone paths, and the monks’ chanting drifts on the breeze, instantly calming a restless heart. The temple has a vegetarian restaurant with affordable prices and delicious food, definitely worth trying. 🚶 Practical Tips for a Smoother Trip Baiyun Mountain has multiple entrances; the South Gate is the most convenient by public transport but also the busiest; the West Gate is quieter and better for self-driving. Electric carts connect the main attractions inside the park, which can save energy if used wisely. It’s best to start early in the morning to avoid crowds; after 4 PM is the peak time for descending, and cable cars may have queues. Must-haves: comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (there are many insects in the forested areas). 🌰 Autumn-Only Experiences If you visit Baiyun Mountain this season, be sure to try the mountain spring tofu pudding—refreshing and sweet, eating a bowl in a small mountain shop is especially cozy. After descending, you can also enjoy Cantonese health dishes at the foot of the mountain; autumn recommendations include coconut chicken soup and dried tangerine peel duck, which nourish and relieve dryness. Spending a day at Baiyun Mountain brought me a long-lost tranquility. Unlike other famous mountains that require strenuous climbing, it feels like a gentle elder showing you the beauty of nature in the most comfortable way. This perfect balance of distance—close enough to the city, yet far enough from the noise—is exactly what makes it so charming.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.

There are a few daily trains leaving Riyadh to Dammam. You can take an early morning train, and come back the same day late at night, as I did. Ride takes about 4h one way. Trains are newer type, comfortable enough, some even with a table. They serve some light snacks and drinks on board and you can also pre-order a meal. Tickets should be bought on line and I do recommend at least 3 days in advance as trains are usually full. I booked it two days before and managed to reserve one of the last few still available. Dammam is still growing, but for sure have it on your to do list. Cornish is for sure the place to visit, and the markets around the Marina mall. Getting around is easy enough with a bus, but you do need a bus card. Taxi and Uber is readily available.

And the heart? It finally feels at peace. Ya Allah, thank You for choosing me to walk this sacred land. May every Muslim be granted the honor to visit this holy city, even once in their lifetime. 🤍

The suspended spherical villas feature stainless-steel designs inspired by coral reef formations. With mirror-polished surfaces reflecting ocean and sky colors, they achieve near "invisibility" to minimize visual impact on the natural landscape. Each 150-ton spherical villa took 45 days to construct, hovering above coral reefs with minimal seabed contact through compact support structures to reduce ecological disruption. The mirror facades combine aesthetics with energy efficiency: nearly 100% solar reflectance reduces heat absorption, while insulation materials lower air-conditioning demands. The resort operates entirely on a central solar farm with 11,000 photovoltaic panels, supplemented by a solar-powered desalination plant for freshwater. All waste is recycled on-site, drastically reducing external resource dependence. Surrounded by one of Earth's most pristine coral reefs, the resort offers professional diving gear and eco-tours for guests to explore over 200 marine species, advancing Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" tourism transformation.

Stepping into the Grandview Natural Science Museum feels like entering a dream where nature and science intertwine.

Next, I entered the tropical rainforest simulation hall, surrounded by the sounds of birds and flowing water, with trees and vines creating an atmosphere that made me feel as if I were in a primeval jungle. In the fossil area, amidst the play of light and shadow, I touched the geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years, marveling at the power of nature's creation.

As a travel blogger constantly on the move, I have always been searching for destinations that truly relax the body and mind. This time, my discovery of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou completely changed my perception of urban scenic spots. This is not an ordinary park but a vast natural oxygen bar covering 28 square kilometers. In autumn, Baiyun Mountain sheds the humid heat of summer and dons a refreshing and pleasant face, with lush greenery dotted with patches of red leaves, making it a hidden paradise beside the bustling city. 🌄 A Perfect Blend of Classic Routes and Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences My suggestion is to set aside a whole day so you can check off the classic attractions and explore lesser-known secret spots. Start in the morning from the South Gate, take the cable car up the mountain, and easily reach the summit plaza. From here, you can overlook the Guangzhou cityscape, and on clear days, even catch a distant view of the Pearl River. Then walk along the Moxingling direction; this path is shaded by trees and gently sloped, perfect for a slow stroll and leisurely photos. The afternoon highlight is exploring the Huangpodong Reservoir, which most people miss. Turn off the main road onto a small path, and after about a 15-minute walk, you’ll find this hidden valley gem. Surrounded by trees, the reservoir’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the color-changing Chinese tallow trees on the shore, as beautiful as a painting. I sat here for a whole hour, watching sunlight dance on the water and listening to birdsong and the wind, feeling my soul completely cleansed. 📸 Photo Spots Fully Revealed To capture unique Baiyun Mountain photos, be sure to save these spots: Summit Plaza Viewing Platform: Use a telephoto lens to compress space, framing the Canton Tower with the green trees in the foreground, showcasing the harmony between city and nature. Moxingling Trail: Find the curves and use the extending lines for composition to capture the forest’s secret atmosphere. Huangpodong Reservoir: The side light after 3 PM is the most beautiful; stand by the water using the reflection as the foreground to instantly fill the frame with poetry. Nengren Temple: The interplay of red walls and green trees creates a particularly Zen vibe, perfect for cultural shots. 🍵 Deep Temple Zen Experience Nengren Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is an easily overlooked treasure. This ancient temple has a long history, bustling with incense but not commercialized. On autumn afternoons, sunlight filters through ancient trees onto the bluestone paths, and the monks’ chanting drifts on the breeze, instantly calming a restless heart. The temple has a vegetarian restaurant with affordable prices and delicious food, definitely worth trying. 🚶 Practical Tips for a Smoother Trip Baiyun Mountain has multiple entrances; the South Gate is the most convenient by public transport but also the busiest; the West Gate is quieter and better for self-driving. Electric carts connect the main attractions inside the park, which can save energy if used wisely. It’s best to start early in the morning to avoid crowds; after 4 PM is the peak time for descending, and cable cars may have queues. Must-haves: comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (there are many insects in the forested areas). 🌰 Autumn-Only Experiences If you visit Baiyun Mountain this season, be sure to try the mountain spring tofu pudding—refreshing and sweet, eating a bowl in a small mountain shop is especially cozy. After descending, you can also enjoy Cantonese health dishes at the foot of the mountain; autumn recommendations include coconut chicken soup and dried tangerine peel duck, which nourish and relieve dryness. Spending a day at Baiyun Mountain brought me a long-lost tranquility. Unlike other famous mountains that require strenuous climbing, it feels like a gentle elder showing you the beauty of nature in the most comfortable way. This perfect balance of distance—close enough to the city, yet far enough from the noise—is exactly what makes it so charming.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.

#mytraveldiary For a one-of-a-kind perspective of Guangzhou, the Bubble Tram at Canton Tower is an absolute must-try.

During the day, the views are striking, revealing the city’s mix of modern skyscrapers and historic areas.

There are a few daily trains leaving Riyadh to Dammam. You can take an early morning train, and come back the same day late at night, as I did. Ride takes about 4h one way. Trains are newer type, comfortable enough, some even with a table. They serve some light snacks and drinks on board and you can also pre-order a meal. Tickets should be bought on line and I do recommend at least 3 days in advance as trains are usually full. I booked it two days before and managed to reserve one of the last few still available. Dammam is still growing, but for sure have it on your to do list. Cornish is for sure the place to visit, and the markets around the Marina mall. Getting around is easy enough with a bus, but you do need a bus card. Taxi and Uber is readily available.

Stepping into Mecca isn't just a journey across distance—it's a journey deep into the soul.

And the heart? It finally feels at peace. Ya Allah, thank You for choosing me to walk this sacred land. May every Muslim be granted the honor to visit this holy city, even once in their lifetime. 🤍

The suspended spherical villas feature stainless-steel designs inspired by coral reef formations. With mirror-polished surfaces reflecting ocean and sky colors, they achieve near "invisibility" to minimize visual impact on the natural landscape. Each 150-ton spherical villa took 45 days to construct, hovering above coral reefs with minimal seabed contact through compact support structures to reduce ecological disruption. The mirror facades combine aesthetics with energy efficiency: nearly 100% solar reflectance reduces heat absorption, while insulation materials lower air-conditioning demands.

Planning a Trip to Istanbul? Here’s What You Should Know 🕌🌉 Welcome to Istanbul — the only city in the world that spans two continents, where East meets West across the stunning Bosphorus Strait. It’s a place where ancient history, rich culture, and modern life blend effortlessly. Here’s how to make the most of your visit: 🏛️ 1. Dive into Centuries of History Don't miss the city's legendary landmarks: 1️⃣Hagia Sophia – a masterpiece of both Christian and Islamic heritage. 2️⃣Blue Mosque – iconic with its six minarets and blue Iznik tiles. 3️⃣Topkapi Palace – former residence of Ottoman sultans, full of treasures. 4️⃣Grand Bazaar – one of the world’s oldest markets with over 4,000 shops. 🕍 Pro Tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds, especially at Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. 🏰 2. Embrace the City’s Dual Heritage Once Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Istanbul later became the heart of the Ottoman Empire. This layered history is visible everywhere—from ancient churches turned mosques to lavish palaces and hammams. 🚢 3. Cross Continents by Ferry A ferry ride on the Bosphorus is a must! It offers beautiful views of Istanbul’s skyline and connects the European and Asian sides of the city. ⏰ Tip: Take a sunset cruise or a local ferry between Eminönü and Üsküdar for scenic photos. 🍽️ 4.

Ancient, alive, and unforgettable. #travel #istanbul #bluemosque #hagia_sophia

Stepping into the Grandview Natural Science Museum feels like entering a dream where nature and science intertwine. The towering dinosaur skeleton at the entrance immediately captures your attention, its ancient and massive form seemingly whispering secrets of a prehistoric world. Every corner of the exhibition hall is filled with the rhythm and miracles of life, from land to sea, from microorganisms to giant beasts, all leaving you in awe. In the biodiversity section, I gazed at the delicate butterfly specimens in the display case, their wing patterns like nature's paintbrush, creating countless brilliant colors. Next, I entered the tropical rainforest simulation hall, surrounded by the sounds of birds and flowing water, with trees and vines creating an atmosphere that made me feel as if I were in a primeval jungle. In the fossil area, amidst the play of light and shadow, I touched the geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years, marveling at the power of nature's creation. Finally, in the children's interactive area, seeing the kids having a blast, I felt the joy of knowledge being passed on. This visit gave me a renewed appreciation for the vastness and mystery of nature, filling my heart with awe and gratitude.

As a travel blogger constantly on the move, I have always been searching for destinations that truly relax the body and mind. This time, my discovery of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou completely changed my perception of urban scenic spots. This is not an ordinary park but a vast natural oxygen bar covering 28 square kilometers. In autumn, Baiyun Mountain sheds the humid heat of summer and dons a refreshing and pleasant face, with lush greenery dotted with patches of red leaves, making it a hidden paradise beside the bustling city. 🌄 A Perfect Blend of Classic Routes and Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences My suggestion is to set aside a whole day so you can check off the classic attractions and explore lesser-known secret spots. Start in the morning from the South Gate, take the cable car up the mountain, and easily reach the summit plaza. From here, you can overlook the Guangzhou cityscape, and on clear days, even catch a distant view of the Pearl River. Then walk along the Moxingling direction; this path is shaded by trees and gently sloped, perfect for a slow stroll and leisurely photos. The afternoon highlight is exploring the Huangpodong Reservoir, which most people miss. Turn off the main road onto a small path, and after about a 15-minute walk, you’ll find this hidden valley gem. Surrounded by trees, the reservoir’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the color-changing Chinese tallow trees on the shore, as beautiful as a painting. I sat here for a whole hour, watching sunlight dance on the water and listening to birdsong and the wind, feeling my soul completely cleansed. 📸 Photo Spots Fully Revealed To capture unique Baiyun Mountain photos, be sure to save these spots: Summit Plaza Viewing Platform: Use a telephoto lens to compress space, framing the Canton Tower with the green trees in the foreground, showcasing the harmony between city and nature. Moxingling Trail: Find the curves and use the extending lines for composition to capture the forest’s secret atmosphere. Huangpodong Reservoir: The side light after 3 PM is the most beautiful; stand by the water using the reflection as the foreground to instantly fill the frame with poetry. Nengren Temple: The interplay of red walls and green trees creates a particularly Zen vibe, perfect for cultural shots. 🍵 Deep Temple Zen Experience Nengren Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is an easily overlooked treasure. This ancient temple has a long history, bustling with incense but not commercialized. On autumn afternoons, sunlight filters through ancient trees onto the bluestone paths, and the monks’ chanting drifts on the breeze, instantly calming a restless heart. The temple has a vegetarian restaurant with affordable prices and delicious food, definitely worth trying. 🚶 Practical Tips for a Smoother Trip Baiyun Mountain has multiple entrances; the South Gate is the most convenient by public transport but also the busiest; the West Gate is quieter and better for self-driving. Electric carts connect the main attractions inside the park, which can save energy if used wisely. It’s best to start early in the morning to avoid crowds; after 4 PM is the peak time for descending, and cable cars may have queues. Must-haves: comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (there are many insects in the forested areas). 🌰 Autumn-Only Experiences If you visit Baiyun Mountain this season, be sure to try the mountain spring tofu pudding—refreshing and sweet, eating a bowl in a small mountain shop is especially cozy. After descending, you can also enjoy Cantonese health dishes at the foot of the mountain; autumn recommendations include coconut chicken soup and dried tangerine peel duck, which nourish and relieve dryness. Spending a day at Baiyun Mountain brought me a long-lost tranquility. Unlike other famous mountains that require strenuous climbing, it feels like a gentle elder showing you the beauty of nature in the most comfortable way. This perfect balance of distance—close enough to the city, yet far enough from the noise—is exactly what makes it so charming.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.

Staying at Atlantis The Royal Dubai Resort on my trip to Dubai was a day filled with luxury and stunning aesthetics! 🏝️ This dreamy hotel, located on the outer edge of Palm Jumeirah, had me falling in love from the moment I stepped into the lobby—fountain shows, flame installations, sky gardens... every design element felt like a scene from a futuristic movie! 🌊 Must-See Highlights: Luxury Embedded in Its DNA • Architectural Beauty: The hotel resembles a floating crystal palace, with a 22-story-high atrium hanging breathtaking glass artworks. When the lights come on at night, it looks like stars falling from the sky. My favorite is the infinity pool on the 18th floor, where lying there feels like floating above the Arabian Gulf! • Room Secrets: We stayed in a Palm Jumeirah Sea View room with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows. When the automatic curtains open in the morning, the entire Persian Gulf unfolds before your eyes. The bathroom is equipped with a full set of Graff fixtures, and even the bath salts are gold leaf-embedded... • Water Fun at Its Best: The hotel features two pools the size of football fields plus a private beach, and the water slide goes straight into the shark tank! A little secret: go to the infinity pool at sunset for photos—the pool’s edge suddenly turns into a mirror reflecting the breathtaking sunset. 🍽️ Dubai on Your Taste Buds ✔️ Must-Try Breakfast: Highly recommend the Mediterranean restaurant Gastronomy, with freshly squeezed Arabic juices and unlimited freshly shucked oysters. There’s a honeycomb station in the corner where you can help yourself to Dubai rose honey with honeycomb. ✔️ Hidden Menu: At the Japanese restaurant NOBU, order the limited edition gold leaf Wagyu sushi. La Mar’s seafood tower requires advance reservation for a window seat to watch the Burj Al Arab light up. ✔️ High-Altitude Afternoon Tea: Cloud22’s sky lounge offers a "floating" dessert stand. Be sure to choose a terrace seat for an unbeatable panoramic view of Palm Jumeirah. 📸 Photo Guide 1️⃣ Under the giant art installation "Rain" in the lobby, use a wide-angle lens for a sci-fi vibe (silver or mirror-material clothing recommended) 2️⃣ The diamond-patterned glass wall in the guest room corridor looks like a kaleidoscope when the lights change 3️⃣ The swing bed on the private beach is most beautiful in the soft light one hour before sunset 4️⃣ The aquarium tunnel (free for guests) is perfect for capturing silhouettes when the stingrays swim by ✨ Hidden Perks - 24-hour free shuttle service to and from Atlantis Waterpark included with your stay - First round of mini bar in the room is free (and they even have saffron tea!) - Helicopter tours can be booked at the front desk (15 minutes to check off Burj Khalifa + The World Islands) ⚠️ Practical Tips • Recommend booking a "Palm Jumeirah View Room" for a view upgrade of three levels compared to the basic room • During peak season, reserve pool loungers early—best to arrive before 10 AM • The hotel offers a free shuttle directly to Dubai Mall (25-minute ride) • Don’t forget to bring a long dress! All restaurants have dress codes From architectural marvels to service details, this hotel perfectly embodies Dubai’s philosophy of luxury.

There are a few daily trains leaving Riyadh to Dammam. You can take an early morning train, and come back the same day late at night, as I did. Ride takes about 4h one way. Trains are newer type, comfortable enough, some even with a table. They serve some light snacks and drinks on board and you can also pre-order a meal. Tickets should be bought on line and I do recommend at least 3 days in advance as trains are usually full. I booked it two days before and managed to reserve one of the last few still available. Dammam is still growing, but for sure have it on your to do list. Cornish is for sure the place to visit, and the markets around the Marina mall. Getting around is easy enough with a bus, but you do need a bus card. Taxi and Uber is readily available.

The suspended spherical villas feature stainless-steel designs inspired by coral reef formations. With mirror-polished surfaces reflecting ocean and sky colors, they achieve near "invisibility" to minimize visual impact on the natural landscape. Each 150-ton spherical villa took 45 days to construct, hovering above coral reefs with minimal seabed contact through compact support structures to reduce ecological disruption. The mirror facades combine aesthetics with energy efficiency: nearly 100% solar reflectance reduces heat absorption, while insulation materials lower air-conditioning demands. The resort operates entirely on a central solar farm with 11,000 photovoltaic panels, supplemented by a solar-powered desalination plant for freshwater. All waste is recycled on-site, drastically reducing external resource dependence. Surrounded by one of Earth's most pristine coral reefs, the resort offers professional diving gear and eco-tours for guests to explore over 200 marine species, advancing Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" tourism transformation.

Embrace the City’s Dual Heritage Once Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Istanbul later became the heart of the Ottoman Empire. This layered history is visible everywhere—from ancient churches turned mosques to lavish palaces and hammams. 🚢 3. Cross Continents by Ferry A ferry ride on the Bosphorus is a must! It offers beautiful views of Istanbul’s skyline and connects the European and Asian sides of the city. ⏰ Tip: Take a sunset cruise or a local ferry between Eminönü and Üsküdar for scenic photos. 🍽️ 4. Eat Like a Local Turkish cuisine is incredibly diverse. Be sure to try: 1️⃣Simit (sesame bread rings) from street vendors 2️⃣Döner kebab or köfte (grilled meatballs) 3️⃣Meze (small plates) shared over rakı 4️⃣Baklava and Turkish delight for dessert 5️⃣And of course, endless cups of Turkish tea 🍽️ Where to eat? Head to Karaköy, Kadıköy, or the Balat neighborhood for a mix of trendy cafés and traditional spots. 🎭 5. Soak in the Cultural Blend Istanbul is where Europe meets Asia, and you’ll feel that fusion everywhere—whether it’s in the call to prayer echoing across modern streets, the mix of Ottoman and Art Nouveau architecture, or local art and music scenes. 📌 Final Tips for a Smooth Visit: - Public transport (trams, ferries, metros) is affordable and efficient—grab an Istanbulkart. - Stay central (Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu, or Karaköy) to be close to major sights. - Dress respectfully for mosques—bring a scarf or shawl. - Bargain in bazaars, but always with a smile! ✨ Istanbul isn’t just a city—it’s an experience. Ancient, alive, and unforgettable. #travel #istanbul #bluemosque #hagia_sophia

Stepping into the Grandview Natural Science Museum feels like entering a dream where nature and science intertwine. The towering dinosaur skeleton at the entrance immediately captures your attention, its ancient and massive form seemingly whispering secrets of a prehistoric world. Every corner of the exhibition hall is filled with the rhythm and miracles of life, from land to sea, from microorganisms to giant beasts, all leaving you in awe. In the biodiversity section, I gazed at the delicate butterfly specimens in the display case, their wing patterns like nature's paintbrush, creating countless brilliant colors. Next, I entered the tropical rainforest simulation hall, surrounded by the sounds of birds and flowing water, with trees and vines creating an atmosphere that made me feel as if I were in a primeval jungle. In the fossil area, amidst the play of light and shadow, I touched the geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years, marveling at the power of nature's creation. Finally, in the children's interactive area, seeing the kids having a blast, I felt the joy of knowledge being passed on. This visit gave me a renewed appreciation for the vastness and mystery of nature, filling my heart with awe and gratitude.

As a travel blogger constantly on the move, I have always been searching for destinations that truly relax the body and mind. This time, my discovery of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou completely changed my perception of urban scenic spots. This is not an ordinary park but a vast natural oxygen bar covering 28 square kilometers. In autumn, Baiyun Mountain sheds the humid heat of summer and dons a refreshing and pleasant face, with lush greenery dotted with patches of red leaves, making it a hidden paradise beside the bustling city. 🌄 A Perfect Blend of Classic Routes and Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences My suggestion is to set aside a whole day so you can check off the classic attractions and explore lesser-known secret spots. Start in the morning from the South Gate, take the cable car up the mountain, and easily reach the summit plaza. From here, you can overlook the Guangzhou cityscape, and on clear days, even catch a distant view of the Pearl River. Then walk along the Moxingling direction; this path is shaded by trees and gently sloped, perfect for a slow stroll and leisurely photos. The afternoon highlight is exploring the Huangpodong Reservoir, which most people miss. Turn off the main road onto a small path, and after about a 15-minute walk, you’ll find this hidden valley gem. Surrounded by trees, the reservoir’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the color-changing Chinese tallow trees on the shore, as beautiful as a painting. I sat here for a whole hour, watching sunlight dance on the water and listening to birdsong and the wind, feeling my soul completely cleansed. 📸 Photo Spots Fully Revealed To capture unique Baiyun Mountain photos, be sure to save these spots: Summit Plaza Viewing Platform: Use a telephoto lens to compress space, framing the Canton Tower with the green trees in the foreground, showcasing the harmony between city and nature. Moxingling Trail: Find the curves and use the extending lines for composition to capture the forest’s secret atmosphere. Huangpodong Reservoir: The side light after 3 PM is the most beautiful; stand by the water using the reflection as the foreground to instantly fill the frame with poetry. Nengren Temple: The interplay of red walls and green trees creates a particularly Zen vibe, perfect for cultural shots. 🍵 Deep Temple Zen Experience Nengren Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is an easily overlooked treasure. This ancient temple has a long history, bustling with incense but not commercialized. On autumn afternoons, sunlight filters through ancient trees onto the bluestone paths, and the monks’ chanting drifts on the breeze, instantly calming a restless heart. The temple has a vegetarian restaurant with affordable prices and delicious food, definitely worth trying. 🚶 Practical Tips for a Smoother Trip Baiyun Mountain has multiple entrances; the South Gate is the most convenient by public transport but also the busiest; the West Gate is quieter and better for self-driving. Electric carts connect the main attractions inside the park, which can save energy if used wisely. It’s best to start early in the morning to avoid crowds; after 4 PM is the peak time for descending, and cable cars may have queues. Must-haves: comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (there are many insects in the forested areas). 🌰 Autumn-Only Experiences If you visit Baiyun Mountain this season, be sure to try the mountain spring tofu pudding—refreshing and sweet, eating a bowl in a small mountain shop is especially cozy. After descending, you can also enjoy Cantonese health dishes at the foot of the mountain; autumn recommendations include coconut chicken soup and dried tangerine peel duck, which nourish and relieve dryness. Spending a day at Baiyun Mountain brought me a long-lost tranquility. Unlike other famous mountains that require strenuous climbing, it feels like a gentle elder showing you the beauty of nature in the most comfortable way. This perfect balance of distance—close enough to the city, yet far enough from the noise—is exactly what makes it so charming.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible. Patience is required while navigating the crowded and sometimes overwhelming corridors, but every artifact is absolutely worth it. It's truly a paradise for history enthusiasts.

#mytraveldiary For a one-of-a-kind perspective of Guangzhou, the Bubble Tram at Canton Tower is an absolute must-try. These transparent capsules glide along the very top of the tower, giving you unobstructed 360° panoramic views of the city.

During the day, the views are striking, revealing the city’s mix of modern skyscrapers and historic areas.

There are a few daily trains leaving Riyadh to Dammam. You can take an early morning train, and come back the same day late at night, as I did. Ride takes about 4h one way. Trains are newer type, comfortable enough, some even with a table. They serve some light snacks and drinks on board and you can also pre-order a meal. Tickets should be bought on line and I do recommend at least 3 days in advance as trains are usually full. I booked it two days before and managed to reserve one of the last few still available. Dammam is still growing, but for sure have it on your to do list. Cornish is for sure the place to visit, and the markets around the Marina mall. Getting around is easy enough with a bus, but you do need a bus card. Taxi and Uber is readily available.

Stepping into Mecca isn't just a journey across distance—it's a journey deep into the soul.

And the heart? It finally feels at peace. Ya Allah, thank You for choosing me to walk this sacred land. May every Muslim be granted the honor to visit this holy city, even once in their lifetime. 🤍

The suspended spherical villas feature stainless-steel designs inspired by coral reef formations. With mirror-polished surfaces reflecting ocean and sky colors, they achieve near "invisibility" to minimize visual impact on the natural landscape. Each 150-ton spherical villa took 45 days to construct, hovering above coral reefs with minimal seabed contact through compact support structures to reduce ecological disruption. The mirror facades combine aesthetics with energy efficiency: nearly 100% solar reflectance reduces heat absorption, while insulation materials lower air-conditioning demands. The resort operates entirely on a central solar farm with 11,000 photovoltaic panels, supplemented by a solar-powered desalination plant for freshwater. All waste is recycled on-site, drastically reducing external resource dependence. Surrounded by one of Earth's most pristine coral reefs, the resort offers professional diving gear and eco-tours for guests to explore over 200 marine species, advancing Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" tourism transformation.

Planning a Trip to Istanbul? Here’s What You Should Know 🕌🌉 Welcome to Istanbul — the only city in the world that spans two continents, where East meets West across the stunning Bosphorus Strait. It’s a place where ancient history, rich culture, and modern life blend effortlessly. Here’s how to make the most of your visit: 🏛️ 1.

Stepping into the Grandview Natural Science Museum feels like entering a dream where nature and science intertwine. The towering dinosaur skeleton at the entrance immediately captures your attention, its ancient and massive form seemingly whispering secrets of a prehistoric world. Every corner of the exhibition hall is filled with the rhythm and miracles of life, from land to sea, from microorganisms to giant beasts, all leaving you in awe. In the biodiversity section, I gazed at the delicate butterfly specimens in the display case, their wing patterns like nature's paintbrush, creating countless brilliant colors. Next, I entered the tropical rainforest simulation hall, surrounded by the sounds of birds and flowing water, with trees and vines creating an atmosphere that made me feel as if I were in a primeval jungle. In the fossil area, amidst the play of light and shadow, I touched the geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years, marveling at the power of nature's creation. Finally, in the children's interactive area, seeing the kids having a blast, I felt the joy of knowledge being passed on. This visit gave me a renewed appreciation for the vastness and mystery of nature, filling my heart with awe and gratitude.

As a travel blogger constantly on the move, I have always been searching for destinations that truly relax the body and mind. This time, my discovery of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou completely changed my perception of urban scenic spots. This is not an ordinary park but a vast natural oxygen bar covering 28 square kilometers. In autumn, Baiyun Mountain sheds the humid heat of summer and dons a refreshing and pleasant face, with lush greenery dotted with patches of red leaves, making it a hidden paradise beside the bustling city. 🌄 A Perfect Blend of Classic Routes and Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences My suggestion is to set aside a whole day so you can check off the classic attractions and explore lesser-known secret spots. Start in the morning from the South Gate, take the cable car up the mountain, and easily reach the summit plaza. From here, you can overlook the Guangzhou cityscape, and on clear days, even catch a distant view of the Pearl River. Then walk along the Moxingling direction; this path is shaded by trees and gently sloped, perfect for a slow stroll and leisurely photos. The afternoon highlight is exploring the Huangpodong Reservoir, which most people miss. Turn off the main road onto a small path, and after about a 15-minute walk, you’ll find this hidden valley gem. Surrounded by trees, the reservoir’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the color-changing Chinese tallow trees on the shore, as beautiful as a painting. I sat here for a whole hour, watching sunlight dance on the water and listening to birdsong and the wind, feeling my soul completely cleansed. 📸 Photo Spots Fully Revealed To capture unique Baiyun Mountain photos, be sure to save these spots: Summit Plaza Viewing Platform: Use a telephoto lens to compress space, framing the Canton Tower with the green trees in the foreground, showcasing the harmony between city and nature. Moxingling Trail: Find the curves and use the extending lines for composition to capture the forest’s secret atmosphere. Huangpodong Reservoir: The side light after 3 PM is the most beautiful; stand by the water using the reflection as the foreground to instantly fill the frame with poetry. Nengren Temple: The interplay of red walls and green trees creates a particularly Zen vibe, perfect for cultural shots. 🍵 Deep Temple Zen Experience Nengren Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is an easily overlooked treasure. This ancient temple has a long history, bustling with incense but not commercialized. On autumn afternoons, sunlight filters through ancient trees onto the bluestone paths, and the monks’ chanting drifts on the breeze, instantly calming a restless heart. The temple has a vegetarian restaurant with affordable prices and delicious food, definitely worth trying. 🚶 Practical Tips for a Smoother Trip Baiyun Mountain has multiple entrances; the South Gate is the most convenient by public transport but also the busiest; the West Gate is quieter and better for self-driving. Electric carts connect the main attractions inside the park, which can save energy if used wisely. It’s best to start early in the morning to avoid crowds; after 4 PM is the peak time for descending, and cable cars may have queues. Must-haves: comfortable walking shoes, drinking water, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (there are many insects in the forested areas). 🌰 Autumn-Only Experiences If you visit Baiyun Mountain this season, be sure to try the mountain spring tofu pudding—refreshing and sweet, eating a bowl in a small mountain shop is especially cozy. After descending, you can also enjoy Cantonese health dishes at the foot of the mountain; autumn recommendations include coconut chicken soup and dried tangerine peel duck, which nourish and relieve dryness. Spending a day at Baiyun Mountain brought me a long-lost tranquility. Unlike other famous mountains that require strenuous climbing, it feels like a gentle elder showing you the beauty of nature in the most comfortable way. This perfect balance of distance—close enough to the city, yet far enough from the noise—is exactly what makes it so charming.

#dubaitrip I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Dubai Miracle Garden, and I was absolutely amazed at what they have created in the middle of the desert. This breathtaking attraction is a true testament to human creativity, innovation, and the beauty of nature, seamlessly blending art and horticulture into a mesmerizing experience. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the explosion of colors and scents that filled the air. With over 150 million flowers arranged in the most intricate and imaginative designs, every step felt like stepping into a fairytale. The garden's iconic displays, such as the Guinness World Record-holding Emirates A380 floral installation, were simply mind-blowing. Seeing an entire life-sized airplane covered in fresh blooms was a sight I will never forget! Walking through the heart-shaped archways, larger-than-life floral castles, and umbrella-covered walkways, I couldn’t help but admire the sheer effort and precision that goes into maintaining this paradise. One of my favorite sights was the Floating Lady sculpture, draped in cascading flowers, giving the illusion of effortless elegance. The fact that this floral wonderland thrives in the middle of a desert makes it even more extraordinary. The level of care, attention to detail, and creativity poured into every arrangement is beyond impressive. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or just looking for a magical escape, Dubai Miracle Garden is an absolute must-visit.

A visit to Egypt is incomplete without seeing the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. From the moment you step into the historic building in Tahrir Square, you are immersed in thousands of years of history. While the museum is somewhat old and perhaps not as modern as the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the atmosphere and the sheer density of history inside make you forget all about that. Every corner is filled with statues, sarcophagi, and papyri that transport you to a different dynasty and the life of a different pharaoh. The most impressive section is undoubtedly the upper floor, where Tutankhamun's treasures are displayed. Seeing the famous golden death mask in person is an entirely different experience than seeing it in photographs. The craftsmanship and richness are incredible.

Staying at Atlantis The Royal Dubai Resort on my trip to Dubai was a day filled with luxury and stunning aesthetics! 🏝️ This dreamy hotel, located on the outer edge of Palm Jumeirah, had me falling in love from the moment I stepped into the lobby—fountain shows, flame installations, sky gardens... every design element felt like a scene from a futuristic movie! 🌊 Must-See Highlights: Luxury Embedded in Its DNA • Architectural Beauty: The hotel resembles a floating crystal palace, with a 22-story-high atrium hanging breathtaking glass artworks. When the lights come on at night, it looks like stars falling from the sky. My favorite is the infinity pool on the 18th floor, where lying there feels like floating above the Arabian Gulf! • Room Secrets: We stayed in a Palm Jumeirah Sea View room with 270° floor-to-ceiling windows. When the automatic curtains open in the morning, the entire Persian Gulf unfolds before your eyes. The bathroom is equipped with a full set of Graff fixtures, and even the bath salts are gold leaf-embedded... • Water Fun at Its Best: The hotel features two pools the size of football fields plus a private beach, and the water slide goes straight into the shark tank! A little secret: go to the infinity pool at sunset for photos—the pool’s edge suddenly turns into a mirror reflecting the breathtaking sunset. 🍽️ Dubai on Your Taste Buds ✔️ Must-Try Breakfast: Highly recommend the Mediterranean restaurant Gastronomy, with freshly squeezed Arabic juices and unlimited freshly shucked oysters. There’s a honeycomb station in the corner where you can help yourself to Dubai rose honey with honeycomb. ✔️ Hidden Menu: At the Japanese restaurant NOBU, order the limited edition gold leaf Wagyu sushi.

There are a few daily trains leaving Riyadh to Dammam. You can take an early morning train, and come back the same day late at night, as I did. Ride takes about 4h one way. Trains are newer type, comfortable enough, some even with a table. They serve some light snacks and drinks on board and you can also pre-order a meal. Tickets should be bought on line and I do recommend at least 3 days in advance as trains are usually full. I booked it two days before and managed to reserve one of the last few still available. Dammam is still growing, but for sure have it on your to do list. Cornish is for sure the place to visit, and the markets around the Marina mall. Getting around is easy enough with a bus, but you do need a bus card. Taxi and Uber is readily available.

And the heart? It finally feels at peace. Ya Allah, thank You for choosing me to walk this sacred land. May every Muslim be granted the honor to visit this holy city, even once in their lifetime. 🤍

The suspended spherical villas feature stainless-steel designs inspired by coral reef formations. With mirror-polished surfaces reflecting ocean and sky colors, they achieve near "invisibility" to minimize visual impact on the natural landscape. Each 150-ton spherical villa took 45 days to construct, hovering above coral reefs with minimal seabed contact through compact support structures to reduce ecological disruption. The mirror facades combine aesthetics with energy efficiency: nearly 100% solar reflectance reduces heat absorption, while insulation materials lower air-conditioning demands. The resort operates entirely on a central solar farm with 11,000 photovoltaic panels, supplemented by a solar-powered desalination plant for freshwater. All waste is recycled on-site, drastically reducing external resource dependence. Surrounded by one of Earth's most pristine coral reefs, the resort offers professional diving gear and eco-tours for guests to explore over 200 marine species, advancing Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" tourism transformation.

Planning a Trip to Istanbul? Here’s What You Should Know 🕌🌉 Welcome to Istanbul — the only city in the world that spans two continents, where East meets West across the stunning Bosphorus Strait. It’s a place where ancient history, rich culture, and modern life blend effortlessly. Here’s how to make the most of your visit: 🏛️ 1. Dive into Centuries of History Don't miss the city's legendary landmarks: 1️⃣Hagia Sophia – a masterpiece of both Christian and Islamic heritage. 2️⃣Blue Mosque – iconic with its six minarets and blue Iznik tiles. 3️⃣Topkapi Palace – former residence of Ottoman sultans, full of treasures. 4️⃣Grand Bazaar – one of the world’s oldest markets with over 4,000 shops. 🕍 Pro Tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds, especially at Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. 🏰 2. Embrace the City’s Dual Heritage Once Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Istanbul later became the heart of the Ottoman Empire. This layered history is visible everywhere—from ancient churches turned mosques to lavish palaces and hammams. 🚢 3. Cross Continents by Ferry A ferry ride on the Bosphorus is a must! It offers beautiful views of Istanbul’s skyline and connects the European and Asian sides of the city. ⏰ Tip: Take a sunset cruise or a local ferry between Eminönü and Üsküdar for scenic photos. 🍽️ 4. Eat Like a Local Turkish cuisine is incredibly diverse. Be sure to try: 1️⃣Simit (sesame bread rings) from street vendors 2️⃣Döner kebab or köfte (grilled meatballs) 3️⃣Meze (small plates) shared over rakı 4️⃣Baklava and Turkish delight for dessert 5️⃣And of course, endless cups of Turkish tea 🍽️ Where to eat? Head to Karaköy, Kadıköy, or the Balat neighborhood for a mix of trendy cafés and traditional spots. 🎭 5. Soak in the Cultural Blend Istanbul is where Europe meets Asia, and you’ll feel that fusion everywhere—whether it’s in the call to prayer echoing across modern streets, the mix of Ottoman and Art Nouveau architecture, or local art and music scenes. 📌 Final Tips for a Smooth Visit: - Public transport (trams, ferries, metros) is affordable and efficient—grab an Istanbulkart. - Stay central (Sultanahmet, Beyoğlu, or Karaköy) to be close to major sights. - Dress respectfully for mosques—bring a scarf or shawl. - Bargain in bazaars, but always with a smile! ✨ Istanbul isn’t just a city—it’s an experience. Ancient, alive, and unforgettable. #travel #istanbul #bluemosque #hagia_sophia

Stepping into the Grandview Natural Science Museum feels like entering a dream where nature and science intertwine. The towering dinosaur skeleton at the entrance immediately captures your attention, its ancient and massive form seemingly whispering secrets of a prehistoric world. Every corner of the exhibition hall is filled with the rhythm and miracles of life, from land to sea, from microorganisms to giant beasts, all leaving you in awe. In the biodiversity section, I gazed at the delicate butterfly specimens in the display case, their wing patterns like nature's paintbrush, creating countless brilliant colors. Next, I entered the tropical rainforest simulation hall, surrounded by the sounds of birds and flowing water, with trees and vines creating an atmosphere that made me feel as if I were in a primeval jungle. In the fossil area, amidst the play of light and shadow, I touched the geological history spanning hundreds of millions of years, marveling at the power of nature's creation. Finally, in the children's interactive area, seeing the kids having a blast, I felt the joy of knowledge being passed on. This visit gave me a renewed appreciation for the vastness and mystery of nature, filling my heart with awe and gratitude.
