A first-timer guide to China travel

Trip review of Jeju: Spring florals and a definitive dining list
Navigating Jeju island by car is no doubt the most convenient way, unlocking everything from the historic, flower-lined streets of Jeju City to the serene coastal trails of Aewol.
Trip review of Guangzhou: One above the rest in the capital of food
We are pleasantly surprised with what Guangzhou city has to offer. From sweeping skyscraper views to the delightful culinary offerings, we highly recommend to give this city a try if you happen to be in the Greater Bay region.
Trip review of Melbourne: New Year on a sightseeing flight to Antarctica
Melbourne in the summer offers clear skies and late sunsets. This vibrant city has an energetic mix of cafes and bars, leaving travelers spoilt for choice. If schedule allows, a day flight to Antarctica is certainly worth the memories.
Trip review of Hanoi: Venturing outside the city center
Situated between the mountains of Sa Pa and the waters of Ha Long Bay, the city often serves as the primary gateway for travelers before they venture further into the country's natural landscapes.
Trip review of Tohoku: An autumn road trip around Nikko and Fukushima
With Tohoku being a relatively under-explored region of Japan, we highly recommend a self-driving road trip or making a few stops if taking the Shinkansen transport.
Trip review of Kyoto: A worthy side trip to Otsu
Otsu, beside Kyoto city, is a hidden gem at Lake Biwa, definitely deserving of a day trip or even a night in this lakeside city.
