Difficult Choices
Nhìn cái hình trên chai Nông Phu Sơn Tuyền này nhớ đến câu nói của Mạnh Tử: 🐟🐻⚖️ I like fish, and I also like bear’s paws. If I cannot have the two together, I will let the fish go, and take the bear’s paws. // 鱼，我所欲也；熊掌，亦我所欲也。二者不可得兼，舍鱼而取熊掌者也。 Yú, wǒ suǒ yù yě; xióng zhǎng, yì […]
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.

P.s.: Picture taken in Fenghuang Ancient Town, […]
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. […]
Compare Their Highlights With Your Behind-The-Scenes
It’s easy to compare their highlights with your behind-the-scenes and feel that you’re beaten. But I just stay relaxed and look forward to my upcoming trips to China.
Prepping For Another Sichuan Trip To Ngawa Tibetan And Qiang Autonomous Prefecture
As coming back to Sichuan has been my plan for quite a long time, I decided that I would look for travel partners because my friends and sister didn’t like this kind of traveling. After looking in vain on Instagram, I decided to find on Facebook groups for other Vietnamese travelers. On 27 Feb, I […]
