Seed To Blooms (Behind the scenes)
#winhkflight
Have you ever wonder about the cultivation process behind the famous dinner plate dahlias showcased at the annual floral display? During the tour, I have met the Research & Horticulture team and gain insights into the meticulous process of nurturing approximately 30,000 plants annually. At the end of the tour we can bring back seedlings 🌱
Hope to win flight to Hong Kong to visit the flower market 💐
Viewing Sakura 2024 Under The Moon 🌸
#cherryblossom2024
This year's Gardens By The Bay Sakura 2024 Blossom Into The Night exhibition features a night theme, also known as "Yozakura". This means the team intentionally illuminated the flower dome for nighttime viewing.
Typically, on opening day, the flowers aren’t blooming, but this year they were. That's why we rushed down because of how fleeting Cherry Blossoms are.
While we were engrossed with the flowers, I noticed kids running around before realising they also added projections on the pathways!
It was fun and surprising to see Koi Fishes and Sakuras on the floor.
I always love that GBTB brings in the cherry blossoms for those of us who are stuck in Singapore.

Hong Kong Disneyland Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
FANTASYLAND
#winhkflight Fantasyland is a themed land at Hong Kong Disneyland, featuring the Castle of Magical Dreams and many of the classic fairy tale characters such as Disney princesses. We were very fortunate to catch Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and we went to purchase some Mickey ears from Merlin’s Treasures. We also took a couple of rides such as the Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh and particularly enjoyed the show Mickey and the Wondrous Book. I especially loved the miniature castles at Fantasy Gardens as I am a huge Disney princess lover and brought back much childhood nostalgia. I would love to win the Hong Kong flight as I loved the food, culture, activities and I had an unforgettable time with my family and would love to be back to experience more local fare!
#WinHKflight Ultimate Escape to Hong Kong
#winhkflight
In the mix of Hong Kong's awesome stuff, here's an epic adventure you won't forget.
Start with Disneyland, it's like stepping into a fairytale with cool rides and all your favourite characters. Then, hit up Kennedy Town for some chill vibes by the water and sunset. K11 Musea is a mind-blowing place where art and fancy buildings collide. Don't miss out on Hong Kong's street food—it's like a flavour explosion in your mouth! Victoria Harbour is where you catch those breathtaking skyline views. And for some real excitement, head to Happy Valley for horse racing—it's a rush of adrenaline and a ton of fun!

A Journey through Hong Kong’s Enchantment
Embarking on my best journey to Hong Kong was a whirlwind of excitement and enchantment. The magic of Hong Kong Disneyland sparked my inner child, as I wandered through enchanting lands and encountered beloved characters. From thrilling rides to magical parades, every moment was a symphony of joy and wonder.
Exploring the bustling streets of Mong Kok and the tranquil beauty of Victoria Peak revealed the diverse tapestry of this vibrant city. The tantalizing aroma of dim sum filled the air, tempting me to savor Hong Kong's culinary treasures.
Now, I yearn to return with my family, eager to share the gastronomic delights and unforgettable experiences that Hong Kong has to offer.

Hong Kong Disneyland 🏰
#winhkflight #hongkong #disneyland #disneylandhk #discoverhongkong #freehotelstay #fireworks
You need more than a day to explore Disneyland that with different theme. With frozen theme land, the crowd could be crazy. Recommend to purchase express pass to skip the long queues and be there early. The shows and fireworks are amazing.
Would also recommend to stay at Disney explorers lodge if you have a 2 days ticket, it will save you time and get to explore more. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to visit Hong Kong again.
Business Hours: 10.30am to 8.30pm
Address: Lantau island, Hong Kong Disneyland resort, Hong Kong

Singapore Changi Airport Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
More Than a Transit Point, It's Destination
Forget dreary airport layovers! Singapore's Changi Airport redefines the travel experience with its award-winning terminals, lush gardens, and world-class entertainment. From the cascading waterfall in Terminal 3 to the stunning Butterfly Garden in Terminal 4, nature meets modernity in a symphony of sights and sounds. Indulge in retail therapy at Jewel Changi's dazzling array of shops, savor local and international cuisines, or catch a movie at the cinema. Foodies, cinephiles, and shopaholics rejoice! ️
But Changi Airport's magic extends beyond its amenities. The friendly staff, seamless transit options, and efficient processes make your journey a breeze. ♀️ So next time you're flying through Singapore, don't just see Changi as a stopover, see it as an adventure! #ChangiAirport #SingaporeTravel #AirportGoals #Travelgram #AvGeek #burnthemaps #trip #instatravel #goodfoods #localguides
First time fly with Vietnam Airlines
#newyeartrip
This is my first time flying with Vietnam Airlines. The business class from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City, they depart at Terminal Three of Singapore Changi Airport. But the lounge has not Washroom. The aircraft is A320 and has 8 business seats. The cabin crew are friendly to introduce Vietnam destination. And I am really like the inflight cuisines very delicious beef noodles. Happy new year!
A Place You Can't Miss or Your Heart May Cry! 💔😢
This place is truly breathtaking! When I saw it in person, the only word that came to mind was 'Wow!' It's an artificial beauty, and even though you know it's man-made, seeing it with your own eyes is truly awe-inspiring! 😲
No more words, let's get straight to the guide! ‼
1⃣ Where is it? It's located next to Terminal 1 at Singapore Changi Airport, beside a large circular building. Just walk in, and you'll see it. Alternatively, you can ask airport staff. Most people who look Chinese can speak Mandarin, and they are friendly and helpful! 😊
2⃣ How to take photos? If, like me, you're traveling alone, I'll share my secret with you. Just say, 'Hello, can you take a photo for me?' This usually works! The key is to find a young lady; they usually take better photos. If you can identify Korean ladies, go straight to them! You're guaranteed a good shot! 📸
3⃣ Best viewing platforms? Each floor has a different vantage point, but my favorites are the first and third floors. 🏞
4⃣ Any other activities at the waterfall? You can take a small train ride through it, offering a unique experience. When I looked down from above, it felt like a scene from 'Love O2O,' very futuristic. 🚂
Solo travel turns out to be quite fun; I had a great time! Highly recommended! 🌟

✈️ Flying from T4 Departure
Take note when you are coming to Terminal 4 at Changi Airport, there is no direct MRT access to go Terminal 4. You will have to transfer to a shuttle bus service and this service is free. You can take this bus from Terminal 1 Departure or Terminal 2 Arrival and arrive at Terminal 4. If you are a transit passenger, you can take the shuttle bus inside the transit area too. You will need to provide a valid boarding pass for Terminal 4 if you are taking the transit shuttle bus. It might be complicated if you are travelling in a big group or with luggage. So you can consider taking a taxi directly to Terminal 4.

Universal Studios Singapore Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Visa-free! Half-day check-in at Universal Studios Singapore, less crowded and not tiring
Singapore is finally going to be visa-free, starting on the 9th of next month, New Year's Eve!
🌏Just came back from Singapore with friends, checked in at Universal Studios, and finished all the must-play games in half a day. Firstly, the park is not big, and there are much fewer people compared to Universal Studios Beijing, so there is no pressure to queue.
·
🎬Incomplete statistics of IPs include 'Transformers', 'Jurassic World', 'Minions', 'Sesame Street', 'The Mummy', 'Puss in Boots', etc. Not every one has a park, but there are quite a lot of IP elements, and the Minions' exclusive park is under construction and will open this year.
·
🌍 Must-check-in projects
Queue time and performance time can also be viewed on the Universal Studios Singapore app.
✅Transformers 3D: Fight side by side with Transformers, the experience is the same as Universal Studios Beijing, no need to go if you have been there.
✅Jurassic River Adventure: It's real drifting! Travel through the jungle, get close to dinosaurs, you will get wet, pay attention to protect your personal equipment, it's better not to bring.
✅Revenge of the Mummy: Indoor roller coaster, the kind that's very dark, the sense of weightlessness is amplified, very exciting.
✅Battlestar Galactica roller coaster: Dual-track roller coaster, divided into human team (red) and mechanical team (grey-blue), it is said to be head-on, but I didn't notice, grey is more exciting than red, will hang upside down 5 times, but the overall time is relatively short, it's okay.
✅Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase: Take a small train for a round, there are friends from Sesame Street on the side, very cute, suitable for parent-child.
✅Waterworld Stunt Show: The content is the same as Beijing, but the experience is different with different actors.
·
🛍️ Shopping:
Credit card💳 is ok, magnetic stripe card is also usable, I used a MasterCard magnetic stripe card, even the small stalls selling water in the park can use credit card.

Lesser-known check-in spots in Singapore, each one is very photogenic!
I shared some traditional Singapore tour routes a few days ago, today let's go for some lesser-known and photogenic places~
📍Red Dot Design Museum Singapore
Located in the center of Singapore, the museum is not big, but it's filled with high-end designs. You can understand cutting-edge ideas from an artistic perspective, and also understand the new world from a technological perspective. It's a great resting spot (even better for sheltering from the rain), but you need to buy a ticket~
📍Candylicious
After visiting the S.E.A Aquarium in Sentosa, you will see this candy house while strolling down the commercial street. The large store is filled with brightly colored candies, and you can't help but feel happy as soon as you enter. It's also very photogenic, and you can take away some cute souvenirs when you leave~
📍Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
This place is relatively far, almost to Malaysia, but it's worth to come and feel the temperament of Singapore's high-end institutions. The architectural design of the entire campus is also worth exploring, from the teaching buildings to the flower gardens and green plants, the design is very ingenious.
Finally, when you come to Singapore, you must check in at their Universal Studios. As you know, each Universal has its own characteristics, and Singapore can let you feel the full tropical style.
What is there to play in Singapore? How to plan the route? 2024
