Top 5 Places

China : Crystalline Turquoise Lake


It is said that if there should be wonderlands on the earth, Jiuzhai Valley must be one of them. There is no equal elsewhere that has sceneries and fables of dreamlike eloquence, or natural purities like a fairyland as it.
Jiuzhai Valley is locally known as Jiuzhaigou (Chinese for “Nine Village Valley”). It is a national park located in the Min Shan mountain range, Northern Sichuan in South Western China. It is best known for its fabled blue and green lakes, spectacular waterfalls, narrow conic karst land forms and its unique wildlife. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992; the park joined the Man and Biosphere Conservation Network in 1997 and has also received IUCN and ISO 14,001 accreditations.

The Crystalline Turquoise Lake which is one of the main attractions of the Jiuzhaigou National Park gets its uniqueness from its crystal clear water which seems to be untouched by any living presence for decades. Every year nearly 200, 000 people visit the Crystalline Turquoise Lake; however this has not diminished the clarity of the water to even the least.
It is also known as the Five Flower Lake of China. A myriad of colours, such as turquoise, blue, green, yellow, and so on makes the Crystalline Lake exceedingly beautiful. Added to these are the trunks of the trees which have fallen in the lake to make a criss-cross pattern on the bed.
As the lake is surrounded by mountains and a variety of foliage, the crystal clear waters of the Crystalline Turquoise Lake reflects the nature around and creates a spectacle out of it. It is perhaps because of its surreal beauty that the people of the nearby villages have also attached a number of myths to it.

The Crystalline Turquoise Lake and Jiuzhaigou National Park together end up drawing a huge number of tourists every year. It was last estimated in 2004 that nearly 7,000 people visit the place on a daily basis. This number rises to 12,000 during the best seasons of the year. Though accessing the Jiuzhaigou National Park by road is a difficult task but, most tourists take bus rides while going one way and come back on foot the other way. However, it is good to remember that this path is always prone to earthquakes and landslides.

Lombok : Tangsi Beach

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “beach”? You'd probably think of a plain stretch of white sand against the ocean. But could you imagine a beach with pink sand? It sounds absurd, however in Indonesia not one but two beached with pink sand exist. One pink beach located in Komodo National Park in East Nusa Tenggara, and the more famous one in Lombok island, known as Tangsi Beach.

As a beach that has pink sand, Tangsi Beach is better known as Pink Beach. Tangsi Beach got the name from the color of the beach sand. The sand has pink color, making it distinguish than any other beaches. The pink color of the beach was said to derive from the fractions of coral reefs, named Homtrema rubrum, which mixed with white sand of the beach. Reflection of sunlight and exposure to sea water adds to the more clearly visible pink beach color. This beach is so calm and only has a small wave that makes tourists more comfortable when playing there. [1]

Tangsi Beach is situated in Jerowaru District, East Lombok Regency, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. The beach is actually beautiful, however, the location is too remote and the infrastructure is inadequate. You will need about two and a half an hour driving from Mataram. The beauty of Pink Beach also looks perfect with the surrounding hills. On the left side there is a hill with vast meadows. In addition, there is also an exotic promontory on the rig ht side with a gazebo provided on it.  [1][2]


When you come to Pink Beach, you can do many activities, especially water activities. Water activities in the beach are fun and exciting, like snorkeling, fishing, diving or surfing. Snorkeling will allow you to learn more about the underwater life of the beach. You must bring your own equipment if you want to do this activity. No rental activity is found in the beach. You can also swim in the edge of the beach. The clear and clean water is safe for you to swim at any time. Another challenging activity you can do in the beach is water sports, like sea kayak. Sea  kayak will be fun, and you will have a challenging experience when you choose this activity. [3]

The local village say the barracks Coastal Beach Pink takes two hours from the city of Mataram and Senggigi, a considerable distance away. Exactly the same route with the route to Tanjung Ringgit, because the two adjacent locations the Only barracks beach entrance is on the left, approximately 1 KM prior to Tanjung Ringgit. Well at the entrance there are instructions or small signs to the left of the road reads PINK Beach 50 meters. You can rent a motorcycle from Mataram with IDR 75.000 for 1 day. [4]

Tangsi beach is very tranquil, exeptionally calming especially during the dry season. It is most enjoyable to go there between April untill August, while the sun shines more frequently. We recomend you to go there soon, before it gets too crowded. Go there and you can experience one of the last peaceful Paradises on earth

Venice : The Grand Canal




Venice is a city located in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region. Venice has long been one of the most popular cities in Europe, and welcoming millions of visitors every year. Venice is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.


The Grand Canal is bridged at four points. The oldest and the most famous span is the Rialto Bridge. Designed by Antonio da  Ponte in the late 16th century, the Rialto Bridge crosses the canal at roughly its halfway point. The first Accademia Bridge was built in the mid-19th century at the canal’s east end to facilitate foot traffic. It was replaced in 1932 by a wooden bridge that was intended to be contemporary, but it was later reinforced with steel to lend it a degree of permanence. At the same year, the Scalzi Bridge was built at the west end of the canal to provide easier access to the city’s railway station. The Constitution Bridge, designed by a Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and publicly shown for the first time in 2008, lies to the west of the Scalzi Bridge. It links the railway station to the bus terminal and the parking complex at Rome Square.



The Grand Canal Venice is situated 13 km from its city airport. It takes 17 minutes with car and if you want to go there with train, it'll take 36 minutes. What if you're at Rome? Don't worry, you still can go there too with train to get the fastest time (approximately 4-5 hours). And to feel the romantics of this beautiful canal with your couple or family, you should rent some gondola to down the river that the price starts from € 28.80 each person (for 30 minutes). To stay in hotel, there are many hotels near from the grand canal. The price to stay at hotel starts from € 26 until € 835 per night.

Venice quietest season is winter. You're unlikely to find Venice empty of tourists at any time, but late autumn and the early winter are the best times to come, if you want to avoid the crowds and take advantage of cheaper hotel rates. You also get the advantages to watch the Venice Carnivale near The Grand Canal, an annual open-air festival that fills the city with music, dancing, and masked party-goers. Travelling with kids? Don't miss the Ice-skating rink in Campo San Polo. Winter is also inarguably the most romantic and relaxing time to ride the gondola. It's empty, mist-shrouded canals glisten in the soft, surreal winter light.  Riding a gondola in winter can be a calming and deeply luxurious experience. It's also easier to broker a lower price with your gondoliere (it's about €5–10 cheaper than the usual price €80 for a 30-minute ride).
