Just one hour and a half by train from Taipei, you may find Kaohsiung, a different style city than Taipei but still unique and beautiful. Don’t miss these highlights if you’ve got two days in Kaohsiung.

One of the most popular day trips from Taipei is the one that combines the unique Yehliu Geopark, the traditional mountainous Jiufen Village and the magic Shifen Waterfalls.

One of my best friends, May, once told me that from East Asia I should not miss visiting Taiwan and she was absolutely right. Its delicious food, its endless bubble tea, its lovely and polite people, its unique vibe when it gets dark gave me the best impression. Of course, you cannot visit Taiwan without making a stop at its vibrant capital, Taipei. Let’s see how to take advantage of it in three days.

Macau is a lot more than a casino heaven or hell (depending on your luck); it is an incredibly interesting mix of European (and specifically Portuguese) characteristics with Asian culture. That makes it an ideal day trip from Hong Kong either you choose to go by boat or bus by crossing the 55-kilometer bridge that connects them.

Hong Kong has a very different vibe compared to much of Asia. It is stressful, chaotic and resembles more west big economic centers. Nevertheless, there are some spots that worth a visit if you spend a couple of days in this Special Administrative Region of China.

If you have an extra day in Cairo, don’t miss the chance to do a day trip to Alexandria, located around two and a half hours from the capital’s center by car and admire the mediterranean sea.

A mix of Arabic and African vibes, heavy traffic, friendly people with a good sense of humor and endless bargains are the elements that characterize Cairo, Egypt’s distinctive capital. 

Although two days in the fairy tale city of Prague might sound like a short period of time, they are enough to experience the city’s charm. Here’s a list of must-visit places to make the most of your short  two-day trip.

When I was travelling to Yerevan, I was under the impression that I was going to visit a city like Tbilisi in Georgia, full of contrasts between old, abandoned and new. I was totally wrong; Yerevan is a vibrant, organized, modern and beautiful city that you cannot miss.

I must admit that Tbilisi is a unique and different destination that combines European and Asian characteristics giving you the feeling of having visited many countries at once.

Even for a few days or hours when being in Southeast Asia, you need to pay a visit to Singapore, the cultural path of Asia. As the city-country is quite small 2 or 3 days or even a few hours (if you have a connecting flight) are enough to get a satisfying taste of it.

A day trip from Chiang Mai to the neighbor city Chiang Rai is essential during your stay at the city as in Chiang Rai is located , among others, one of the most popular and beautiful temples of North Thailand; Wat Rong Khun – The White Temple.
