Hunan – Hubei, Day 6: Wuhan And Flying Home
This was the last day of my trip. I visited three sites of Wuhan called Yellow Crane Tower (which was made famous by poetry), Hubei Provincial Museum, and East Lake. Two hours at Yellow Crane Tower seemed like a waste of time. I’d prefer more time at Wulingyuan or Fenghuang Old Town. I liked the […]
Hunan – Hubei, Day 5: Historical Jingzhou And Walking Street Of Jianghan Road
We departed Changde, Hunan for Jingzhou, Hubei in the morning. In this historical city, we had a chance to go around the wall on an electric car and it was a great ride even though some of us disliked it. Two members of our group decided that they would do some cosplaying. One dressed as […]
Hunan – Hubei, Day 4: Fenghuang Old Town And Changde
What I feared the most was the weather as forecast. It rained in the morning again today, and my exploration of Fenghuang Old Town was disrupted somehow. Because I wore the Thai flip flop, I walked slowly and slipped when I got off a boat. I borrowed an umbrella because my jacket wasn’t completely waterproof. […]
Heart Doesn’t Move
💖🍃 No trembling heart, no wind may shake; No wounds borne, no years can break. // 心若不动，风又奈何， 你若不伤，岁月无恙。 Xīn ruò bù dòng, fēng yòu nàihé, Nǐ ruò bù shāng, suìyuè wúyàng. // Tâm nhược bất động, phong hựu nại hà, Nhĩ nhược bất thương, tuế nguyệt vô dạng. P.s.: Picture taken in Fenghuang Ancient Town, […]
Hunan – Hubei, Day 3: Wulingyuan And Fenghuang Old Town
Some people disliked waking up early, but I thought it was okay on a trip when we had to check out. At least, I didn’t have to fight for breakfast like in Taiwan. However, the food was just so so. We passed a sidewalk market on the way to the Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest […]
Hunan – Hubei, Day 2: Tianmen Mountain
We met up with the Chinese guide, Ms. Liu, at Zhangjiajie Airport. Then we headed to Days Hotel nearby and called it a night. After breakfast, we started for the Tianmen Mountain cable car station. But there was some ticket problem that made us wait for more than an hour before we could get in […]
Hunan – Hubei, Day 1: Flying To Zhangjiajie, Transit In Shenzhen
After 10 years, I flew with China Southern Airlines again to China. 2 flights today would finally bring me to Zhangjiajie. The travel group leader instructed us so we spent 45 mins at the customs clearance. It wasn’t as crowded as I thought. We didn’t have to collect our checked baggage so it was faster. […]

🤗🌍😄 Hey you, it’s okay, half of the people in the world are below average too. P.s.: Picture taken in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia in 2018.
