Jiufen.Taipei

Jiufen，a town abounded with gold in the early period, becoming a unique special town on the mountain with the same dreamlike scene in the movie 'spirited away'. The Jiufen old street is the most crowded street there with different kinds of shop opening on the both sides selling local snacks, souvenirs.

However, the most impressive thing is not the shop but the lanterns. Especially when the dark comes, the whole street is lighted up by these lanterns with red light.

Climbing on the top of the mountain at night, the meandering light wakes up the sleeping mountain and sea, the incredible view are all under our eyes. Most visitors will not leave until night just for appreciating the amazing view of Jiufen.

There are many other beaches in Newcastle that are highly populated during Summer in Australia. I would highly recommend taking a trip up the coast to Newcastle or making sure it's a part of your itinerary when you travel to Australia.  It's simplicity, beauty, uniqueness, and coastal locality make Newcastle the city that it is today.... And I was blessed enough to live there for 18 years!

Hope you enjoy! Chat soon.

VANUATU

Vanuatu

Hey guys, me again! 

Today we'll be discussing all things Vanuatu!

http://hkvic.vu/PublishWebSite/hkvic/gallery/d6d22ff7-cd3b-4511-878a-a838ef287a28.jpg

Vanuatu's capital city is the ever-lovely Port Vila located on Vanuatu's main island. Port Vila is often the city cruise ships dock at, allowing tourists the opportunity to venture in and discover life in Vanuatu, see the coastal and tropical sights, enjoy some shopping (and bargaining!) and stroll along the bustling streets.

Overall, Vanuatu is one of those hidden treasure nations that only a limited amount of people visit and experience in their lifetime.  I was lucky enough to be one of those people and I urge YOU to now consider going and checking out the stunning islands of Vanuatu for yourself!
