The Boat Ride That Shows Off Singapore!

#mysgmemories When friends fly halfway across the world to visit our sunny shores, a boat ride down the Singapore River does a good job of showing off everything that is beautiful on our little island state. They get to see the iconic triple towers that is the Marina Bay Sands, the ArtScience Museum, our impressive CBD skyscrapers, the historic and appropriately refurbished Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, Gardens By The Bay, and the Singapore Flyer! We hopped off at the Merlion Park to say hello to the mythical Merlion (and baby Merlion), where the mandatory spout-into-my-mouth photo had to be taken. 🤣 A good time was had by all! And it was a trip the kiddies will not soon forget. #marinabaysands #artsciencemusuem #cbd #skyscrapers #boatquay #clarkequay #gardensbythebay #singaporeflyer #merlion #merlionpark #boatride #singaporeriver #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #kidfriendlydestination #rivercruise #awesomepic #urbanexplorer

Saigon, between her river and skyscrapers...

Ho Chi Minh City's grand Saigon River is a river located in southern Vietnam that rises near Phum Daung in southeastern Cambodia, flows south and south-southeast for about 225 kilometres and empties into the Soai Rap, which in its turn empties into the South China Sea some 20 kilometres northeast of the Mekong Delta. Landmark 81 is the tallest building in Vietnam, the second tallest building in Southeast Asia, and the 18th tallest building in the world. Meanwhile Bitexco Financial Tower with 68 floors above ground and three basements, the building has a height of 262.5 metres, making it the second tallest building in the city, fourth tallest in Vietnam, and the 412th tallest in the world. Between the grand river and skyscrapers, it's indeed an odd but unique mixture. Making it a dream comes true for most avid photographers. #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #summervacation #photographer #photography #skyscrapers #saigon #hochiminhcity #landmark81 #saigonriver

Cultural, vibrant, magnificent Shanghai!

#visitshanghai During the day the tall buildings along the bund and the beautiful gardens in Yu Yuan are breathtaking. During the night the coastline and the neon lights of the city command awe and respect. A city with elegance, history and modern beauty. There are so many things you can do in Shanghai - museums, art galleries, fancy cafes and restaurants, cultural walks, comedian shows, scenic tours… I spent months there and couldn’t finish visiting and appreciating just one area! #China #Shanghai #TheBund #Museums #skyscrapers

Sunday Stroll along the Singapore River…

#singapore A trip to Singapore would not be complete without a stroll along the historic Singapore River, which explains why this scenic strip is a favourite with tourists! The Singapore River Walk is mandatory, in my opinion, on every visitor’s itinerary! Even locals love the picture perfect backdrops this river walk affords, with boats plying up and down water that flows between gleaming skyscrapers on one side and colonial architecture on the other. History and modernity sharing the glory with the vital artery that pumps life into the heart of this Little Red Dot… #singaporeriver #singaporeriverwalk #historic #scenic #skyscrapers #colonialarchitecture #rafflesplace #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

Sundown Serenade: Historical Canvas of the River

As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden glow over the cityscape, my stroll along the Singapore River offered an enchanting blend of history, culture, and modernity. The river, once the lifeblood of the city's trade and commerce, today serves as a silent witness to its dramatic transformation. Standing tall amidst the modern skyscrapers, the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles, Singapore's founder, exudes a sense of timeless resilience. Situated at the very spot where Raffles is believed to have first landed, it is a poignant reminder of the city-state's humble beginnings. Further along the riverbank, the grand edifice of the former Supreme Court came into view. This iconic neoclassical building, with its impressive Corinthian columns and grand dome, is a testament to Singapore's colonial past and evolving judicial system. Contrasting the historical landmarks, the sleek skyscrapers of Battery Road pierced the sky, their glass facades reflecting the radiant hues of the setting sun. These modern titans symbolise Singapore's phenomenal growth as a global financial hub. As the twilight deepened, I set up my camera for a time-lapse capturing the transitioning skyline. The moving panorama, with the monumental buildings serving as a dramatic backdrop, was a sight to behold. My journey culminated at the Merlion Park, where the iconic Merlion statue, with its lion's head and fish's body, spouted water against the city's glittering skyline. A symbol of Singapore's origin as a fishing village and its lion-hearted spirit, the Merlion offered a fitting end to my evening along the Singapore River. This river walk is a journey through time, revealing Singapore's past, celebrating its present, and offering a glimpse into its promising future. It's a must for every #urbanexplorer. #shopandtrip #myperfectstaycation #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #couplestrip #SingaporeRiver #HistoricalWalk #Cityscape #TimeLapse #Merlion #RafflesStatue #FormerSupremeCourt #Skyscrapers #BatteryRoad #TravelSingapore #CulturalHeritage #TravelDiaries #ExploreMore #TravelGoals #UnforgettableMoments #SunsetPhotography #CityWalk #LandmarkVisit #TravelAddict #Wanderlust #IncredibleViews #BucketListAdventure

The Captain

Every time I come to Shanghai I have to make a trip to The Captain rooftop bar. They have an amazing view over the Shanghai skyline with their rooftop terrace. Inside is nice but a bit noisy, so we always try to sit outside. This time we came in February and they have heating lamps in the evenings so it does not feel to cold. This trip to Shanghai I managed to come here two times. One of my favorites from the food menu is the lasagna.. might be the best one I ever had in China. It’s recommended to make a booking in advance if you want to sit outside. #travel #shanghai #passionpassport #skyscrapers #

Shanghai Observatory Tower Top

Breathtaking 360 degree view of Shanghai 😱 Make sure to go there an hour before sunset to catch the golden hour and see both dayview and nightlights. You can choose to pay a little more for the higher floor which we did and it was worth it, but keep in mind the clouds do block some of the view so high up. The glass floor was also an amazing experience and the fastest elevator in the world too! 👀#awesomepic#tripblazers#high#skyline#skyscrapers#skyworld#skyline#viewontop#viewsworththetrip

The well-know Oriental Tower in Shanghai had a futuristic vibe with great views👀👀 The elevator had a 3D video experience of a launch into space in an UFO. The views were great but it was difficult to get a clear picture🤳 without the reflection of blue lights in the glass. There are also many shops for some cute memorabilia's 🛸🚀 A must visit when in Shanghai!#tower#shanghai#skyline#skyscrapers#ufo#pearltower#greatview#atmosphere#360view#amazingview
