Harbin 哈尔滨

Posted on October 5, 2025 by The Traveller

夏天的哈尔滨阳光明媚.
太阳没有那么热, 风还有点凉,
走在中央大街上,心也跟着放松了.

夏天的哈尔滨啊,
我不赶时间,也不装模作样,
来这里探索旅游区,一边陪你看夜景.

夏天的哈尔滨你可真是美,
站在圣索菲亚教堂静静看着,
公主笑得像城市的阳光.

夏天的哈尔滨冰城有人情暖,
提供外套和靴子进入城堡,
室内冰灯万盏照天涯,不惧严寒心自暖.

夏天的哈尔滨啊,
像遇见个有故事的老朋友,
当我们再次相见, 可要好好的喝上一杯.

I took the ferry to the Sun Island. Instead of taking the ferry back, I walked across the bridge to the Polar Park 哈尔滨极地公园, which is near to the train station.

Buy the entrance ticket to the Harbin ice and snow world 哈尔滨冰雪大世界 and get a free entrance to the Snow Art Museum in Sun Island 太陽島冰雪艺术馆.

Suifenhe 绥芬河

走在绥芬河的路上
风从俄罗斯那头吹过来
感觉没有想象中的寒冷
这是八月的夏天

看到街边的招牌有两种语言
吃喝玩乐也能用卢布结账
但我只用手机付款
我没有带太多的人民币

得知只需一个小时就能到达俄国
想买张票登上火车
但我知道这不会成功
我没有申请签证

Seville 塞维利亚

Posted on May 22, 2025 by The Traveller

I took the ferry and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from Tanger, in Moroccon, to Seville. I was in Seville in the late afternoon for a few hours before I took the 6 hours night coach ride to Portugal. While waiting for the coach, I went around and took some pictures.

Ho Chi Minh 胡志明市

Posted on April 11, 2025 by The Traveller

Crossing the roads in Ho Chin Minh City,
is an utterly terrifying experience.
To reduce the risk of heart attack,
you could follow the locals’ foot steps.
The behavior of the speeding motorists,
could not be easily changed.
After years of education,
they still remain the same.
At massive traffic intersections,
you should be brave to march into the fierce fight
with full confidence.
Using the locals as human shield,
until you reach the other side of the battle field.
Survive in the crossing will be the evidence.

Bargaining is a must when you shop in in the **Ben Thanh Market**. If not, you will be highly overcharged. 这个地方的东西太贵了.

**We can only explore the exterior and gardens of the **Ho Chi Minh City Hall**.** **The interior is not open to the public. 可以看前面, 看后面, 但是不可以进去里面**.

The War Remnants Museum is a place you should visit if you want to know more about Vietnam. See the pictures on the wall and read the accompanied words, you will soon be in tears without realizing. This is a sad place with true stories. **这是一个悲伤之地**

**The Saigon Opera House is a municipal opera house but I did not have the time to go in and watch the show. 下次再来**.

**There is a underground tunnel in the **Independence Palace** where you can see the equipment used during the Vietnam war.** **在这里可以看到越南战争期间使用的装备和武器.**

Suzhou 苏州

Posted on February 14, 2025 by The Traveller

Suzhou is known as the Eastern Venice (Water City of the East). There is no train service in the city and people have to take the buses and occasionally the boats. The bus fare is 20 cents per trip. I have no problem traveling alone in Suzhou as I am able to read the signs and take the buses to those places I wanted to visit. I stayed 3 days and 2 nights in Suzhou but I do not mind visiting the place again as it is really worth visiting twice.

From Shanghai Hongqiao railway station I took the train to Suzhou. It is just 2 stops and the journey is about 30 minutes. The ticket costs S$8.
