Cliff(y) Goes Travelling

Shennan Avenue, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China Daily: 9.00am - 9.00pm Welcome to Part 2 of Splendid China, a theme park that showcases the most iconic sights of China in the Overseas Chinese Town of Shenzhen. While  Part 1  covers the cultural village area, Part 2 focuses on the miniature park section. At least Pikachu and Melon can say that they've conquered the Great Wall without having to go to Beijing.

Shennan Avenue, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China Daily: 9.00am - 9.00pm Window of the World  brings the world to us, but have you noticed that there's nothing about China there? Anything and everything about the mainland can be found at Splendid China, another theme park in the Overseas Chinese Town of Shenzhen that was opened in 1989. For a first timer in China, I certainly had a good introduction of what the country has got to offer.

Shennan Avenue, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China Daily: 9.00am - 10.30pm Fancy seeing the world through miniatures of highly recognisable landmarks? Opened in 1993, Window of the World in the Overseas Chinese Town section of Shenzhen is a theme park that provides us with such an experience. There's indeed charm in the miniatures squeezed into 48 hectares. It's a small world after all, isn't it?

1-1 Huis Ten Bosch-cho, Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan Daily: 9.00am - 10.00pm Hello again! Hope everyone is doing fine amid the current COVID-19 situation. Let's stay home and stay safe together. I've finally had the chance for a breather from work, so allow me to continue with Part 2 of Huis Ten Bosch (lit. House in the Woods), a Dutch-themed amusement park in Sasebo, Japan that I visited in December 2019. Oh, how I've missed travelling!

1-1 Huis Ten Bosch-cho, Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan Daily: 9.00am - 10.00pm It was in 2018 when I first heard about Huis Ten Bosch (lit. House in the Woods), a Dutch-themed amusement park in Japan that resembles a town in the Netherlands with canals and windmills, from an online friend who had a blast there. It's named after a royal palace in The Hague, a former home of Queen Beatrix from 1981 until her abdication in 2014.

Mount Mtatsminda, Tbilisi, Georgia Mtatsminda Park is an amusement park in the capital city of Georgia that shares the same name with the mountain where it's standing at. Occupying an area of over 100 hectares, it's situated at the altitude of 770 m, which is the highest point in the city.

Diokno Boulevard, Manila, the Philippines Mon-Fri: 11.00am - 10.00pm Sat-Sun: 10.00am - 10.00pm SM Prime Holdings is the largest mall chain owner and developer in the Philippines, managing a total of more than 70 shopping malls.
