#solotravel #100waysoftravel #chinatrip #luoyang #culturaltrip One of the best things about solo travel is the freedom to spend time exactly how I want, without the pressure to rush through a set itinerary. It allows me to enjoy experiences at my own pace, like indulging in a Hanfu makeover—a dream for many girls visiting Luoyang. I found a beautiful Hanfu shop, and the process of getting my makeup and hair done took nearly two hours. Since I wasn’t on a tight schedule, it was the perfect way to pass the time and fully immerse myself in the experience. Solo travel offers that kind of luxury—being able to spend time on activities I love without worrying about anyone else’s plans. After the makeover, I made my way to Luoyi Ancient City, where I had scheduled a photoshoot. The city is famous for its ancient charm and stunning architecture, making it the ideal backdrop for Hanfu photos. What’s even better is that the city provides many official photographers, which is a huge convenience for visitors. It’s easy to see why Luoyi Ancient City is a top destination for Hanfu enthusiasts. The combination of solo travel freedom and the chance to embrace cultural beauty made the experience truly unforgettable.

#penangtrip #100waysoftravel #Malaysia #Culturaltrip One of my favorite stops in Penang is definitely the Penang Peranakan Mansion. This beautifully restored heritage building offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Peranakan, or Straits Chinese, community.

We loved our tour guide, who explained the history and significance of each room in detail and gave us plenty of time to take photos. It was a fascinating and immersive experience, making it a must-see on any Penang itinerary. Here are some pro tips for visiting the Penang Peranakan Mansion: 📍Address:29, Church Street, 10200 George Town, Penang, Malaysia. 💰Average Price per Person:RM 25 per adult and RM 15 for children (prices may vary slightly). 🕰️Business Hours:The mansion is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. 👩🏻💼Guided tours are offered throughout the day, typically starting around 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM.

Mor Hananyo Opening Hours ⏰: The monastery is open every day from 09:00-11:30 and 14:00-17:30 Mor Hananyo entrance fee:💰 TRY 50 per person, including the guided tour Cradled in the hills just outside Mardin in southeastern Turkey, overlooking the Mesopotamian plains, the Mor Hananyo Monastery is one of the oldest monastic churches still functioning. Founded in the 5th century, the monastery has since served as a centre of learning and worship for the Syriac Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. This monastery, which was the residence of Syriac Orthodox patriarchs for 640 years until 1932, is the most visited monastery since it is close to Mardin. How to get there? Mor Hananyo Monastery is about 10 km outside Mardin by road. The best way to get here is by taxi or driving yourself. Negotiate a fare and waiting time with a taxi for your return journey, as the monastery is remote. We visited Mor Hananyo on the way back to Mardin from Dara, which was very convenient as it was on the way. Below is what we saw during our visit to Mor Hananyo Monastery: 1.Virgin Mary Church & Printing Press 2.Mor Hananyo Church 3.House of Saints 4.The Sun Temple 5.The Courtyard Is Mor Hananyo Monastery Worth a Visit? Yes, we think so. Visiting the monastery is an interesting experience showing the unique demographics of Mardin. While the Assyrian Christian community continue to dwindle, the monastery still holds on to its beliefs as ages ago. Cultural significance aside, it’s a beautiful setting and pretty close to Mardin. #turkiye #mardin #Assyrian #historytour #monastery #culturaltrip #awesomepic #mesopotamia

Astonishing, with the old house vibrant, creating a nostalgic era of 1800, and unique shop lot where they use the old house as a venue, like a blend of modern world and the past. And shout out to the amiexa coffee shop, really great local coffea, different from others but the taste is great. Parking is the same at museum area. They are also boats that were once used in that era. Worth a visit. Recommended! #awesomepic #culturaltrip #oldhouse #malayvillage #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #2023travelwish

Finally it's my day to head back from Hyderabad to Singapore. The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport has very strict policies where only departing passengers are allowed to enter into the airport, this is not like where we can walk around in the airport in singapore or send people off. If one who wants to send someone off, they are required to pay a fee before entering into the airport. Although being in India, our impression of the airport is the dirty rundown kind of airport but Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is a modern airport that is also currently expanding so that they will be able to handle more passengers in the future. Do make Hyderabad a holiday destination as the country has been growing and improving in tourism ever since the lift of covid restrictions. #bucketlistreboot #india #airport #hyderabad #tourists #holidaydestination #shorttrip #historical #culturaltrip #modernairport

Along the heritage, the surrounding area are still filled with small stalls selling traditional baked biscuits and sweets where once our grandparents use to eat.

Hoi An is a city on Vietnam's central coast known for it's well preserved Ancient town. It's a small city with it's own traditions, culture and food. People here are so calm and friendly. During Tet Holiday, a lot of people go to Hoi An to try the floating lanterns or just to watch the colorful and magical town. You can feel the ancient vibe once you visit Hoi An. You'll know more about Vietnam not just the food but the history itself. I recommend to stay there for 2-3 days and go to Da Nang afterwards. It's quite enough to spend time around Hoi An. #createwithtrip #createwithtrip #culturalattractions #culturaltrip #culturalheritage #hoian #vietnam #vietnamtravel #tripinspired #tripmoments #nationalpark#lakes

Address: 1-1 Konkicho, Hikone 522-0061 Shiga Prefecture One of the 5 National Treasures (Castles) in Japan, Hikone Castle 🏯 which is over 400 years old, is one of the remaining few with their original structures preserved. The Hikone Castle, although smaller in size than some of the other castles in Japan, is still quite big to me, and we took some time exploring the castle and the surroundings. As the castle is quite high up, we also need some time to climb up but it's all worth it, with the nice scenic view of Lake Biwa or Biwako, Japan's largest Freshwater Lake. There's also the cute Hikonyan, which is a mascot created in 2007 to mark the 400th anniversary of Hikone Castle. You can take a photo with the mascot standee which is in front of the castle. There's also the cute mascot toys and merchandise sold in Hikone too. Overall, for me, it's definitely worth a visit to at least one of the castles in Japan. Hope to be able to travel to Japan soon again. #createwithtrip #japan #culturaltrip #historicplaces

Address: 2 Sanam Chai Rd, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of Reclining Buddha, is one of the must-visit temples in Thailand. Do note that the temple is currently undergoing some renovations, but you can still visit the temple, and also go inside to have a view of the 46m long sleeping Buddha. Shoes will have to be removed before one can go in the temple with the sleeping Buddha. The whole place is actually quite big and there's a lot of other buildings at Wat Pho to explore. Do note that there is an entry fee of 200baht for foreign visitors. After the visit, I will also recommend for you to board the local ferry nearby of which it brings you across the Chao Praya River to Wat Arun. Beautiful & peaceful place, & not a lot of visitors when I'm there. Overall a nice visit. #createwithtrip #bangkok #culturaltrip
