With authentic ambiance of eatery dotted at remote places in Austria. Kurt. It was a nice little leisure sit to watch the surrounding. There were many ...

Hong Kong Museum of Art 香港藝術館. Hong Kong Museum of Art will be closed from 2 August 2015 onwards. Renovation and expansion will take three years. So hurry up! Museums in Hong Kong have great collections and cost almost nothing (HK$10). A visit should be included in your itinerary. I visited Hong Kong Museum of Art. There are thematic exhibitions. Apart from its permanent exhibitions. At time, it is The Ultimate South China Travel Guide – Canton II (The Last Episode). Another hall shows Chinese Landscape ...

Venice itself is islands in a lagoon. The islands I am going to detail refer to other key islands with some distance. They are Murano, Bruano and Torcello. Each has its own characteristics. The closest one from Venice. One can start the 10-minute boat trip from Fondamenta Nuove. The island is famous for its glass work. You can see signs of glass factory everywhere on the island. We window-shopped. Most of them look identical and not artistic. This orchestra the only one look unique. Links to this post.

Half Day in Tai Po - Hong Kong. I heard about a Sunday organic market in Tai Po. And had a visit today. It's next to the Tai Wo Fire Station, a short walk from Tai Wo Railway Station or from Tai Po Old Town. At Mai Po by appointment. I bought mushroom and Roman lettace. It was recommended to make scrumbled egg with the mushroom. But I will try it for pasta. It's a short walk to the old town of Tai Po. Some scenic shots were along the way, nice! Other sightseeing points include the Hong Kong Railway Museum.

Is one of the landmarks in Milan. It is a witness of the history. It was founded by the Visconti family. It houses many art treasures in its several museums. With 3 Euro you can appreciate them in a day. Fabulous! This section houses lots of stone sculptures of the ancient time. The most striking one is the sheer sized general on a horse. A dying young soldier is peaceful yet melancholic. The one remains my favourite is Michelangelo. Which is delicate and desperate. 160; No space! Of the Archaeol...

HK Independent Traveller Blog: Monza 2015
http://hkindependent-traveller-croatia.blogspot.com/2015/07/monza-2015.html
It was a nice day before we flew to Germany. We visited a nearby city, Monza. It is a beautiful and elegant town. Smaller than Milan but cleaner, more organised and wealthy as well. It's my third time here. First time was summer back to 2002. The second time. In winter 2010, just for a short while. There are a handful of sightseeing spots, mainly historical buildings and churches. Each spot is detailed with Italian and English description. Do not take it as granted. English text is shown some...Is at the...

HK Independent Traveller Blog: King Yin Lei 景賢里
http://hkindependent-traveller-croatia.blogspot.com/2015/07/king-yin-lei.html
King Yin Lei 景賢里. I learnt about King Yin Lei. From the news some years ago. It is a mansion built in Chinese and Western styles, standing atop Stubbs Road for almost 80 years. In 2007 residents nearby reported destruction of the roof. The public demanded the preservation of this elegant architectural heritage. The government stepped in and offered land exchange to the owner in return for the restoration and ownership of this monument (declared on 11 July 2008). King Yin Lei 景賢里- Exterior before and after.

Arona, Statue and Castle of Carlo Borromeo - Lago (Lake) Maggiore -. We were greeted with sunshine on the day and drove towards Lago Maggiore. Years ago we took boat cruising along the lake and stopped by many beautiful touristic towns. This time, opt for different towns and new sights. The first stop was Arona. From its sea side, we could have a first impression of the Arona Castle, where Carol Borromeo, a saint and cardinal of the Catholic Church in 16th century. The castle houses a doll museum. Co...

Croatia Trip - Day 7 - Sibenik in the morning and early afternoon. Then we ascended to St Anne's Fortress to have a superb panoramic view of the town, port, cathedral and surroundings. The climb is not difficult. Certainly, you will be rewarded with an amazing view. When you descend, ask for a opened garden cafe to relax. Links to this post. Location: Šibenik, Croatia. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Rothenburg ob der Tauber. I love European bread. Crispy crust, wheaty flavour = superb! Dining in Hong Kong.

Croatia Trip - Day 16 - Rovinj. Happy Birthday to my trip mate! Thanks for spending very nice time with me in the beautiful country. Rovinj. Is the last city of our Croatia trip. It is a picturesque town with mild climate and ideal for relaxation. A friend of mine spent her honeymoon here for a week in early May 2009. We were there on 31 May 2009. A coincidence! We knew about it much later. Croatia is a bestowed country! Look for a restaurant called Vels Joze. It is the only cloudy day we had in our trip...
