❤️VENICE IN AUTUMN
#helloautumn
Advantages of Visiting Venice in Autumn
There are actually a lot of advantages to visiting Venice in the autumn.
For one, prices are cheap, including hotel rates and airfares.
Second, there are lesser tourist crowds, so sightseeing is easier.
Third, the heat that summer usually brings is gloriously absent. Consider the occasional frolic in the water (with boots, of course) a one-of-a-kind experience that cannot be experienced in other destinations.
Also, it makes for a good travel story afterward (like how we were almost talked into buying those pricey boots). Besides, high tides occur only until mid-morning and late at night.

Carmel-by-the-Sea
#fallingseason
BEST THINGS TO DO IN CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA IN THE FALL
Carmel-by-the-Sea was described to me as a Village in the Forest by the Sea by Hofsas House Owner and General Manager, Carrie Theis. I had not started my 48 hour adventure, but those exact words described the type of experience that I was about to embark on in Carmel-by-the-Sea this Fall. Glorious sunsets overlooking the Pacific Ocean, renown shopping, excellent wine tasting rooms, and more would be a few of the adventures that I would encounter in the Village in the Forest by the Sea.
What type of person does Carmel-by-the-Sea in the Fall appeal to for a Fall break? Just about anyone trying to find respite from the chaos of everyday life, beach-lovers, foodies, and oenophiles. The shopping and wine tasting rooms make this destination perfect for a girls weekend or a romantic weekend with your partner. Similarly, Carmel is a perfect destination for the solo-traveler, like me, that is independent, adventurous, loves to shop, and finds enjoyment in exploring California’s Cuisine and Wine.

Michigan: Mackinac
#fallingseason
If you've only been to Michigan's Mackinac region during the summer (or never been at all), you owe yourself a fall trip. You'll find the best seats on ferries, prime lakeside-restaurant tables, wonderfully deserted hiking trails, bargain hotel rates—and stunning fall color. Plus, a new food festival, Cork & Fork at the Grand Hotel, promises a weekend of great food created by Midwest female chefs.
Thanks to the insulating effects of the Great Lakes, the color show here often starts in late September and stretches into late October. Fall foliage forms a backdrop everywhere you turn: riding along on an island carriage tour; driving the Tunnel of Trees (State-119) near Cross Village; exploring Mackinac Island State Park; or crossing a forest-canopied bridge at Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park near Mackinaw City. Read more about why you should visit this idyllic, car-free destination.

📍 Takachiho Gorge, Japan 🇯🇵
Takachiho Gorge is a narrow chasm cut through the rock by the Gokase River. The nearly sheer cliffs lining the gorge are made of volcanic basalt columns which resemble the scales of a dragon where the stone twisted and flowed as it formed.
Partway along the gorge is the 17 meter high Minainotaki waterfall cascading down to the river below, and it is truly impressive to see the waterfall against a backdrop of dense green foliage and the surrounding grey cliffs.
There are two perspectives from which to enjoy the gorge. The first is from below which is done by rowing down the river. Rental boats are available at the south end of the gorge, and the water is calm and easy to navigate. This highly recommended route offers a close up view of the cliffs and waterfall.
The second perspective, from above, is done by walking the paved path that runs along the edge of the gorge. There are beautiful views all along the way and at some points on the trail you can look practically straight down to the river below. The trail continues for about one kilometer, eventually leading to the Takachiho Shrine.
There are a few other things to see and do around the southern end of the gorge including a freshwater aquarium, a stocked fishing pond and a few restaurants and souvenir shops. The gorge is illuminated during the summer months until 22:00.
The Takachiho Gorge is located just outside the town center, about a 30-40 minute walk from the Takachiho Bus Center. Alternatively, the gorge can be accessed by rental bicycle or taxi.

Breezy Garden 🍃
#hangzhoutrip
With the summer 🏝️ time just about to end, these gardens in the Buddha temple oftentimes provide the respite not only for small birds 🕊️ but also for humans. Although the waterfall 💦 is quite an artificial setup, it's effect on people is purely natural with such cool breeze 🌬️. We enjoyed it the most by seeing the blooming flowers 🌺 and the non tiring fishes 🐟; and particularly this place also had 🐢 tortoises which is quite a rare sight as I only have seen turtles (they're quite different) in most places. There were little mounts to climb to and see & of course take pictures 😄 It also has references from people have traveled from other south east Asian 🌏 countries, which is a truly fascinating thing to think about their travel experience in age of bullock carts 🐂 and horses 🐎 #tripblazers#urbanexplorer#ukcreator
Serenity personified

Coming from the land of the prince 👑 Siddhartha (aka Buddha 😉) it's hard not to get mesmerized by that serene face, that has brought purpose to this world 🌍 One such purposeful visit is to the Jingci temple along with my teammates, as part of office excursion tho 😜 The place was completely filled with plants ☘️ zen-mode fishes 🐠🐟 and those perfect arcs at every entrance which resembles the traditional Chinese architecture ⛩️. Also I was greatly admired by the decision of the management to not commercialize the place, too much; which makes it a perfect place for anyone living in the town to just drop by and say hello to Buddha 😋 #tripblazers#urbanexplorer#ukcreator
The quaint water town : Wuzhen Water Town
#hangzhoutrip
Step back in time, into the old beautiful water town.
This is an incredible place to spend a few hours walking around and enjoy the beautiful architecture.
The beauty of the old city has been preserved but there is also a new section with some modern buildings.
You can take a boat ride along the canal and the canal along the scenic area was very narrow and there was room for only one boat to move along the canal at a time.
There are plenty of shops and restaurants to take a break and get some souvenirs.
You can do a day trip from Shanghai. The journey from Shanghai to Hangzhou takes about 2 hours.
I had really enjoyed myself discovering the whole of “Wuzhen Water Town” that I really fell in love with the whole nostalgic experience.
