For this set of photos, I specifically flew to Chongqing. The winding alleys of the mountain city led me to discover the real Chongqing when my navigation failed. 📷 About the photo spots: 1️⃣ Chongqing Circle: A fantastic spot to capture a photo with Raffles City. The location is diagonally opposite the Hugui Stone Bus Stop. 2️⃣ Longmenhao Old Street: Take the elevator to the 4th floor, walk about 30 meters uphill, and the door frame will be on your right. 3️⃣ Rainbow Stairs: Navigate to Yuwei Xiaoyu Hotpot (Pipa Mountain Main Street), and the Rainbow Stairs are right next door. 4️⃣ I Love Chongqing: Navigate to the Southeast Gate 1 of Beicheng Tianjie. The large screen across the pedestrian bridge displays "I Love Chongqing" in rotation. 5️⃣ People's Great Hall: Opposite the Great Hall is the Three Gorges Museum. You can visit the museum before heading to the Great Hall for photos. 6️⃣ Huangge Ancient Path: A healing forest trail perfect for hiking and enjoying nature. 7️⃣ Luohan Temple: A temple nestled amidst the concrete jungle of the city. 8️⃣ Raffles City Backstreet: A juxtaposition of the old and new, showcasing the city's development. 9️⃣ Huguang Guild Hall: The photo spot is near Dongshuimen Bridge. 📝 About the itinerary: 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: Jiefangbei ➠ Bayi Food Street ➠ Baixiangju ➠ Huguang Guild Hall ➠ Yangtze River Cableway ➠ Hongyadong ➠ Qiansimen Bridge 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: Liziba ➠ E’ling Second Factory ➠ Ciqikou ➠ Guanyinqiao ➠ Jiujie Night Market 💡 Tips for your trip: ✅ Be sure to wear sneakers! The steep slopes will make you question life. ✅ Combine navigation with asking for directions (it’s an 8D city, after all). ✅ "Mildly spicy" is the ultimate compromise 🌶️

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.

#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.
