JEJU ISLAND - VOLCANIC ISLAND FULL OF ALLURE

It's Korea..Surely most of you out there is the Korean drama fans right???..Im attracted to this place while watching the korean drama "Boys Over Flower"..Hope someday I can go there and feel the fresh air..yeahhhh...

Located southwest of the Korean Peninsula,  Jejudo Island  is a volcanic island in the shape of an oval that measures 73km from west to east, and 31km from north to south. As Korea’s most southern region, the weather on Jejudo Island remains significantly warmer than the mainland even during the cold winter months. Jejudo Island is sometimes referred to as “Samdado Island”  meaning the “three many” because of its abundance of rocks, women, and wind. Wind from the ocean blows steadily throughout the year and past volcanic activity has littered the island with an assortment of beautiful and unusually-shaped black rocks. The island’s reputation of having an abundance of women points back to the time when fishing was the primary means of income and many men were lost at sea.

There are many interesting place and activity you can do here..Every visitor to Jeju is sure to see their fair share of
Dolhareubang  "old grandfather stone statues". Sometimes serious-looking, sometimes almost comical, these statues dot the landscape and have become one of the most widely-recognized symbols of the island.

Another special sight are the Bangsatap, piled all around the island: at houses, beaches, and even tourist attractions. These small, round towers made of many stones were thought to ward off evil, protect the village, and bring prosperity to the people. It is because of this deep-seated belief that one can still see Bangsatap near the entranceways of many buildings.

In addition to having its own unique culture, Jeju is full of breathtaking sights and unusual attractions: World Heritage Sites (such as Hallasan Mountain and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak) and sandy beaches alongside turquoise waters. Small mountains ((called Oreum

in Jeju dialect)) are found all across the island. There are said to be more than 365 oreums, more than one for each day of the year! The "Jeju Olle" paths offer a great opportunity to explore this unique landscape, leading visitors among quiet places off the beaten path.

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE, GERMANY'S FAIRYTALE CASTLE

Good morning everyone..Let's start our day with a bigggg smile...Today I was wondering on how the live in a castle..hhmmmm..Let's find out a little bit about it in my post.. I want to share about the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany.

Neuschwanstein is known all over the world as a symbol of idealised romantic architecture and for the tragic story of its owner. After losing sovereignty in his own kingdom, Ludwig II withdrew into his own world of myths, legend and fairytales.

Among the castle's finest rooms are two magnificent halls. One of these, the Singers' Hall, is a larger and more exquisite version of the same room in the Wartburg, and also incorporates elements from the medieval castle's banqueting hall – though it never echoed to the sound of singing or festivities. The double-storey throne room reaches fifteen metres in height and is encircled by galleries on both floors. Its extravagant decorations dazzle in gold and blue..

Ludwig's great passion, however, was for the Hall of the Holy Grail, in which he united his nostalgia for the Middle Ages with the latest technology of the time. The king even chose to wallow in the Middle Ages at mealtimes – his dining room is a veritable shrine to the minnesingers' contest at Wartburg Castle. Ludwig's sleeping quarters show a clear Gothic influence and are even embellished with details referencing Wagner's operas. The dressing table has a swan-shaped tap inspired by 'Lohengrin'. Another well-known feature of Neuschwanstein is the grotto, whose little waterfalls and coloured lighting create the impression of a mysterious cave. Excursions to neo-Gothic Hohenschwangau Castle, which was rebuilt from 12th century ruins in 1832, and to the Roman bath at Mount Tegelberg are also recommended.

Let's twatch this video together..happy watching..

DETIAN WATERFALL, DAXIN, CHINA

Hello everyone...How's your day today???..I am very excited to let you know about this amazing waterfall I have founded.. I am sure you will be very amazed by the beautiness of this God's creation..Have a happy reading everyone..

The Detian Scenic Spot lies in Daxin, Chongzuo, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, around 145 kilometers (90 miles) from the downtown area of Nanning and neighboring Vietnam. In this scenic area, there are more than 40 tourist attractions. Among those, the most notable one is the Detian Waterfall.

This waterfall crosses the boundary between China and Vietnam and joins with the Banyue Waterfall in Vietnam. With the good name of the World's Second Largest Transnational Waterfall, it goes through three terraces as it flows down from on high. Maybe, you have seen the famous Niagara Falls and the grandness makes a very deep impression on you. Similarly, the vigorous Detian Waterfall gives you a thrilling and majestic sensation.

Below the waterfall is a deep pool to a width of more than 200 meters (0.12 miles) and a depth of over 30 meters (0.02 miles). There are a large number of big fish in the pool and the fish meat is very delicious. So, the villagers who live there often come to the pool to catch fish. They usually sing folk songs as they cast the nets. Wild songs echo in the mountains and there is a joyous, carefree and lively atmosphere on these occasions.

Besides the waterfall, there are many other attractive scenes awaiting your visit, including the Heishui River, Qiaomiao Lake, Guichun Boundary River, Shatun Waterfall, No.53 Mere Stone and numerous cultural relics and rare animals. Abundant rainfall and moderate temperature gives life to the evergreen plants covering the picturesque landscape.

Other than that, there are also other attractions in this waterfall. The Heishui River, called Black Water River in English, is ornamented by verdant plants and peculiar hills. The water, of course, is not black in color. It got the name because of the black reflections of trees and hills. When you are boating on the Heishui River, you can see the turning water wheels, the houses of minority Zhuang, the terraced farmland and the working peasants.

The Qiaomiao Lake covers an area of about 5,000 mu (824 acres) and is surrounded by green hills. The surface of the lake is very calm like a mirror. The reflections of the hills, trees and clouds are etched on the lake surface, which looks like a picturesque painting. Boat on Qiaomiao Lake, listen to the folk songs and appreciate the clear and bright moon, and you could enjoy a god-given peace out of the earthliness.

The Guichun River originates from Jingxi, Baise, Guangxi. It flows into Vietnam and then goes back to China. The two countries are bounded by this river. On one bank stand the buildings in the Zhuang ethnic minority's style and on the other bank is the outlook of another country. Think about this difference and you find it quite interesting.

The Shatun Waterfall is another famous waterfall in the Detian Scenic Spot. The fall flows down from seven terraces. Compared with Detian Waterfall, Shatun Waterfall is not so grand and powerful. It looks like a gentle woman associating herself with the enthralling nature.

The most important part when we want to travel is how do we get there and there are several ways you can use to reach this amazing waterfall. 

You can choose airplane, train or coach bus to reach Nanning first and then take the coach bus at local North Passenger Transportation Center to go to Daxin County. Upon arrival at Daxin, you should transfer to the bus of the route 'Daxin – Qilong – Detian'.

ASHIKAGA FLOWER PARK IN TOCHIGI, JAPAN

               Address : 607 Hasama Town, Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

Do you like flower??..Do you ever noticed that by looking at beautiful flowers it will make you happy and smile??..If you never feel it then I will bring you to this most beautiful place filled with colourful flowers..tadaaaaa...

Lets fly to Japan to exploring this wonderful flower park with the Japanese. Wisteria, or called fuji in Japanese is among their favorites. 

Ashikaga Flower Park features lots of blue, white and pink fuji, as well as yellow laburnum, that look like yellow colored fuji. 

One large fuji tree is 100 years old and its branches are supported to create a huge umbrella of blue fuji flowers. There is also a long tunnel of white fuji flowers, while a tunnel of yellow kingusari needs a few more years to become an actual tunnel. Yae-fuji, a variety with more than the usual number of petals, can also be viewed.

Apart from fuji, you may also find many other flowers, restaurants, and a shop selling plants and local products. There are no English descriptions and very few foreign visitors. The entrance fee depends on the season's beauty and is around 1000 Yen per adult during the fuji peak season.

The fuji in Ashikaga Flower Park are usually in full bloom in the beginning of May, one to two weeks later than the fuji of Tokyo, because Ashikaga Flower Park is considered one of the best spots to view fuji flowers in Japan, the park can be very crowded even on weekdays during the peak season.

When you have found the right place to go, now we look on how to get to the place. You can take the JR Utsunomiya Line, JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line or JR Tohoku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Oyama (only a few shinkansen stop there) and transfer to the JR Ryomo Line. Get off at Tomita Station, one station before Ashikaga Station, from where it is a 15 minute walk to the park.  The one way ride takes at least 70 minutes and 4000 yen by shinkansen or about two hours and 2000 yen by regular trains.

Alternatively, take the Tobu Isesaki Line from Tobu Asakusa Station to Ashikagashi Station. The one way ride takes about 70 minutes and costs 1940 yen by direct "Ryomo Limited Express" train or takes nearly two hours but costs only 940 yen by regular trains with transfers along the way. From the station, there are shuttle buses to the park (300 yen one way), however, they do not run on many weekdays and during winter. Alternatively, the park can be reached in a 20 minute taxi ride (about 3000 yen).

Hours and Fees:

Hours: 9:00 to 18:00 (10:00 to 17:00 from late November through February)

Closed: First Wednesday and Thursday of February, December 31

Admission: 200 to 1700 yen, depending on season
