Last Year, the smog in Beijing was quite heavy. I decided to escape to look for a blue sky and the fresh air. And we flew to Yunnan.

When I arrived at Kunming Airport, it was 8 pm already. Since I was in Yunnan, it would be a pity if not to eat Yunnan Rice Noodles. Only when I took my fist bite did I know those I had eaten before in Beijing could never be called the true Yunnan Rice Noodles.

On the first day, we came to Western Hill for a visit. The Western Hill is a range of 4 mountains stretchin

In today’s busy world, being centered, balanced and at peace are much sought-after elements. People in seriously busy places are turning to the timeless Eastern practices of meditation and yoga to help them get there.

Yoga has become mainstream; but meditation often still meets resistance. People have different reasons for wanting to meditate – to quiet the inner chatter and find calm, reduce stress, to improve creativity, visualize goal achievement, to banish negative thinking, or to follow a fa

Language translation services have made treaties between nations a possibility. Without the work of translators and interpreters who break language barriers country leaders would be unable to communicate, reach an agreement, and sign a treaty. Professional translators who specialize in international relations and contracts typically have a ton of experience in document translation services and can accommodate the needs of politicians who hope to sign a treaty or free trade pact with another nati

One of the sports that is gaining popularity these days is mountain biking. This is a fun sport, but to fully enjoy it you must ride your bike on rugged terrains. There are many areas especially in the countryside that feature these rugged terrains.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival with more than 2000-year history, which started from the Warring States Period.

There are many folk stories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. One version is to memorize the great poet Qu Yuan. One version goes that it’s for Cao E, a dutiful daughter in Chinese history. Whatever the truth is, the Dragon Boat Festival has been a important day in Chinese culture.

How to spend the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday? Well, the

Last Qingming Festival, I had a visit to the Summer Palace with one of my best friend, David Lu, who visited me from Yantan, Shandong Province.

It was really amazing experience for me because in my imagination, the Summer Place was a complex of traditional houses and I never expected that the Summer Palace was full of flower trees. It was like magic when we walked on a road carpeted with petals. The historical buildings in it were fabulous and splendid with fine carving. The guide Linda from chin

Some Greek islands suffer from the effects of ‘kalimari and chips’ mass tourism. But, sometimes, you only need to take a short trip in a ferry or a kaiki to enter a different world altogether.

Let’s look at one of the lesser-known islands, Leros. There are jails and mental institutions here, and the name is similar to the Greek word for a rogue or a rascal. This put a lot of people off visiting, for all the wrong reasons, because really, it’s quite a laid-back, pleasant place.

If you would ask someone about a festival in Spain, everybody would think automatically in ‘The Running of the Bulls’ festival (San Fermin) from Pamplona or the Tomato festival. However, Spanish festivals are much more than that. Fallas (Valencia) is one of those unnoticed festivals for the majority of the foreigners but its craziness and madness doesn’t have anything to envy to the most famous ones.

This festival has its origins in the middle Ages and it marks the arrival of the spring. Initiall

A 40-minute drive east of Puerto Plata, Cabarete’s a phenom that started blossoming as a destination in the mid-1980s, as foreign visitors discovered the water, wind conditions, and nearly four miles of beach that have given this single-street town of some 37,000 a rep as one of the world’s top meccas for windsurfing, kitesurfing, just plain ol’ surfing, and sailing. That’s not to say you can’t have fun here if you don’t do any of these sports, but it sure does help.
