Why I love the National Gallery…

Here’s but a teaser of what you can find at the National Gallery. Not going to give away too much, because the exploration is half the experience. Suffice to say this is much more than just a museum of art and culture. The fact that we get to enter what used to be the supreme court, with chambers previously exclusive to lawyers, judges and the like, is in itself an experiential exploration of history. #NationalGallerySingapore #oldsupremecourt #culture #southeastasia #art #historicbuilding #history #exploration

Sam Poh Footprint Temple ⛩️👣

Penang is so full of legends. This temple is supposed to contain the footprint of Admiral Cheng Ho. There is also a stone statue dedicated to him. Remember to climb up the steps to get a scenic view of the bridge. I recommend a visit here to enjoy the fresh sea breeze, fishing boats, giant footprint, beautiful garden and temple and serene environment. 🌸 The view of the ocean from the temple with fisherman, boats, wooden bridges, coconut trees and the beautiful Penang bridge is truly mesmerising. Local fisherman come here everyday to pay their respect to the shrine before heading to the sea. 🌊 Well maintained small temple site. Inside one of the building you can see a shape which looks like a huge food. Information boards tell you the story of the origin. The interesting thing is that Chinese, Indians and Malays all have their own origin story.🗞️ #penang #awesomepic #MyTripVlog #bestplace #templetours #penang #mustcome #historicplace #historicbuilding

Impressive architecture along the Bund in Shanghai

The Bund is a waterfront area and a protected historical district in central Shanghai. From the 1860s to the 1930s, it was the rich and powerful center of the foreign establishment in Shanghai, operating as a legally protected treaty port. From that period of time we have left dozens of historic buildings... indeed walking around the area feels like being in some Western cities! I could spend hours walking the alleys and admire those old, beautifully designed facades and read about their history (the heritage buildings are signaled with a plaque) Definitely recommended for architecture lovers! #shanghai #thebund #historicbuilding

Blue House - From Chinese Hospital to the Grade 1 Historic Building

#bucketlistreboot Blue House is not only about color, but a history. The 4-storey balcony-type tenement building is located at 72-74A Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The building was a hospital for Chinese medical services back in the 19th Century and became a Temple when the hospital closed down in 1886 before it was demolished in 1920. To preserve Chinese-style buildings in Wan Chai, this remaining balcony type in Hong Kong was renovated in 2015 and is listed as a Grade I hitoric building. The name Blue House refers to the blue color painted on the walls. The building won the architectural prize in 2018. #historicsites #blue #historicbuilding #wanchai #architect

Fuzhou, capital city of Fujian province in southeast China boasts a stunning old town known as 三坊七巷 historical and cultural street. It is an area in downtown Fuzhou formed by a crisscross of 3 lanes and 7 alleys, there its Chinese name - 三坊 = 3 lanes, 七巷 = 7 alleys). Getting lost through its tranquil cobblestone covered streets is a pleasure to wind down from the city stress; and for those looking for the instagrammable photo-opportunity head to the heart-shaped tree or grab a bite at what must be China’s most picturesque McDonalds. #fuzhou #urbanexplorer #citylife #historicbuilding #culturalattractions

A Beautiful Surakarta Hadiningrat Palace

A very valuable cultural site in Solo. We can see various kinds of palace objects in the palace museum. Apart from that, we can also enter the Surakarta palace area and get an explanation about the Surakarta palace and activities in the palace, as well as an explanation of the buildings in the palace. Highly recommended for those who want to know in depth about the Palace. #awesomepic #historicbuilding
