Ziplining in Loboc Town
This is one of the best zip lines I've had!
This is Loboc Ecotourism Adventure Park that features zip lines and cable car rides while overlooking the Loboc River. This is located in Loboc town on Bohol Island.
The zipline is 520 meters long and 120 meters high. It is a full-apron wrap zipline where tourists lie belly-down. The entire zip-course will take you above the forested mountain slope and the Loboc River. And it only take few minutes. I honestly wanted to go for another round but my friend was waiting. You have to wait in line to take turns zipping.
Getting there:
From the city, take a tricycle to the Dao bus terminal and get on a bus bound for Loboc and Carmen.
Ride a private vehicle or join a guided tour that includes the park for a more convenient trip.
Zipline – PhP 350/pax

The Monument of the Blood Compact 🇵🇭🇪🇸
This is the first International treaty between Spain and the Philippines!!!
The Legazpi-Sikatuna Blood Compact or Sandugo (Spanish: Pacto de Sangre) was a blood compact between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, chieftain of Bohol, on March 16, 1565 to seal their friendship following tribal tradition.
The sculpture re-enacting the Sikatuna-Legazpi blood compact was made by Napeleon Abueva, a Boholano and the National Artist for Sculpture.
The sculptured monument consists of 5 life-sized bronze images of men gathered around a table, with Sikatuna and Legazpi seated and making a toast. Three conquistadores, as witnesses, stand around the table.
We visited in 2019. They sold very few souvenirs here, and the sign behind the monument was missing 2 letters. I hope it's complete now.
Location:
Tagbilaran East Road in the Bool District
No entrance fee.

Hotel recommendation in Tabuk
Davidson Hotel and Restaurant
I haven't tried to stay overnight at this hotel but their food is great. If you want to experience a fine dining in Kalinga, I would recommend this hotel. Ang cozy tignan ng kainan nila 😊 They have a small swimming pool at the back, kung gusto mong magpalamig din (ang init kaya sa Tabuk).
Located along Provincial Road, Purok Dato, Bulanao Norte, Tabuk City, Kalinga, Philippines

Incredible ancient temple in Kyotanabe
Although nearby Kyoto I'd a magnet for tourists from all over the world, few venture out to Kyotanabe - another ancient capital of Japan just half an hour away by train.
The most famous attraction is Ikkyuji temple. Built in 1456 by Ikkyu-san, the temple is famous for its Zen garden, statues and architecture. Compared to temples in nearby Kyoto, it is incredibly peaceful and serene, with very few visitors.
Top tips:
- Make a day trip of it by exploring the many smaller shrines nearby, cycling along the bike path or hiking Mount Kannabi.
- Don't walk on the moss, stick to the paths - remember: you are in a temple, it is important to be respectful.
- Definitely check out the small museum in the temple, as it has many fascinating artifacts.
How to get there:
From Kyoto, Osaka or Nara, you can take the train to Kyotanabe station or Shintanabe station, from where it is around a 30 minute walk to the temple. You can also hire bikes from the station, which is a great way to explore this (relatively flat and compact) city on two wheels.

Sweet Sohoton Cave in Grande Island
If you are the explorer type of person and wants to visit hidden beaches, you must try the Sohoton Cave. The pristine clear blue waters would convince you to swim right away. Boats are also present for island hopping. The locals there are very friendly. I would highly recommend to bring your own waterproof cellphone case to ensure you get the best photos under the sea #travellocal

Pyramids of Teotihuacan- Mexico

Teotihuacan is a vast Mexican archaeological complex northeast of Mexico City. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing pre-Columbian city, is the Avenue of the Dead.

Artifacts in the Museum of Teotihuacan Culture, on-site, include pottery and bones.

Food & Restaurants - There’s a small shop near the entrance, you can get little snacks.
Shopping - I didn’t see anything.
Recommended time at the scenic area: About 2-3hours or so.

Chongqing- Jinfo mountain
How to get there - Jinfo is located outside of Chongqing’s city center. I hired a driver from the city and it was very convenient.
I went there in august and it was great! Once you get there, you ride a bus (about 20mins) to the cable car. The view from the cable car is incredible!
The mountain itself is also a lot of fun. It does get pretty cold up there so bring a jacket.
Enjoy!

Chongqing- Luo Zhongli Galley
Located about a 15 mins ish walk from Daxuecheng exit 2.
Daxuecheng (University town) is far from the downtown area so I’d make a day trip out of it.
It is located in Sunny Block which has a lot of restaurants and shops. My favorite restaurant is Masala (Indian food). The food is delicious (IMO, the best Indian restaurant in Chongqing)😊
If you’re visiting CQ for only few days I honestly wouldn’t go out of my way to visit but it’s still a very nice area!

Dinner up in the clouds ☁️
Camlica Tower in Istanbul is one of the tallest infrastructure built in Turkey. It serves as a radio and satellite tower of Turkey and stands on one of the tallest hill in Istanbul. The tower is relatively new, it started to attract a lot of tourists and locals the past year because of its observatory at the top that caters a 360 view of Istanbul, Adalar Islands and even Bursa.
It has 3 floors which visitors can set foot on: the observatory at the top, below it the restaurant floor and one more floor down is the cafe. You pay 120TL for the observatory alone and pay 60TL to book a table in either restaurant or Cafe. Getting a table is better and dine as the view from top is almost similar.
Location: Camlica Tower Restaurant, Uskudar

♦️China Art Museum♦️
📍Shanghai must see!
A one of a kind place inside and out! The architecture of the building that houses the China Art Museum is art! This museum had beautiful paintings, statues, and calligraphy. Captions were in Chinese. Go if you enjoy looking at art and interesting architecture!
🟥♦️🟥♦️🟥♦️🟥
Free ticket to enter with your ID and it was great to browse through for a few hours! Doesn’t take more than an afternoon to see and enjoy the art and calligraphy inside. I even enjoyed a walk around the outside of the building and sitting outside for a bit to enjoy the building itself. Easy to get to in a car like Didi.

Victoria // TheTravelingTeacher Statue of Liberty, New York City
Statue of Liberty is one of the most popular Tourist attraction of USA. It is also considered as one of the attraction which define spirit of USA and its People. It is Located in Island near to NYC. You can take ferry which runs multiple times a Day. There are mainly two ferry stations one in NYC and another one in New Jersey. Ferry takes you to Statue of Liberty and then to a nearby Island which has a old fort. Ticket price is 15$ and includes both ferry and Island entrance. I would suggest to ho in Morning or Evening as it gets really hot in Day time and with Statue hand shadow face gets dark. Tgere is also a separate ticket to reach Statue of Liberty Crown, but that need to be bought in advance as there is limit to the number of people allowed to go up there, so if you want to go there in Crown buy ticket in advance, it’s available online. #statueofliberty #usa #usatravel #travellocal #unitedkingdom #unitedstatesofamerica #newyork
