Check out my latest adventure in Port Macquarie 🏖️ This coastal town totally charmed me with its sea breeze, lush greenery, and bold Western-style architecture. From walking under the temperamental sky—that flipped from sunny to rainy and back—to admiring some seriously magnificent buildings, Port Macquarie’s cultural vibe totally stands out! Must-See Places in Port Macquarie: 🛤️ Historic Walk: Take a stroll through the heart of town, where grand government buildings and museums sit surrounded by leafy streets. If you find yourself on Clarence Street, snap some photos of the classic architecture (Google “Port Macquarie Historic Courthouse” for easy navigation—open daily 9am to 5pm). 🌳 Town Green & Riverside: Chill out at Town Green park (near Horton Street), perfect for people-watching or grabbing takeaway fish & chips nearby. Follow the riverside path for gorgeous views—especially when the clouds break! 🏛️ Museum Moment: When the weather turns, duck into the Port Macquarie Museum (22 Clarence St, open Mon–Sat 10am to 4pm) for a taste of local history and some iconic culture. Traveler Insight: Don’t let the unpredictable weather kill your vibe—bring an umbrella OR embrace it! Sometimes the clouds make the Western-style buildings look even more dramatic for your photos. 🌦️ Getting Around: The town is super walkable! Most spots are within 15 minutes on foot, so comfy shoes are a must. Public buses run along main roads if you want to venture further out—check local timetables on trip.com. What to Eat: Try local seafood at bills Fishhouse (24 Clarence St)—the prawn linguine is a coastal must! Café culture is strong here; pick any cute spot along Horton or William Street for brunch. Key Tips: No visa needed for most visitors, ATMs aplenty, and weather is changeable—dress in layers. #portmacquarie #aussiecoast #walkabletowns #architecturelovers #tripdotcom

Port Macquarie

Here’s my quick guide to Port Macquarie—coastal gem for chill vibes, awesome eats, and a slice of beach city life 🏖️✨ Must-See Spots: 🌿 Town Centre Stroll: Walking around the Port Macquarie town centre in the evening is super relaxing—even when it rains (tip: bring an umbrella, or duck into a café whenever the drops get wild). The streets look cozy, especially with shops and lamplight reflecting on the wet paths. 🍴 Dinner Indoors: Rainy nights call for a seat at a local restaurant. Try Bills Fishhouse + Bar (22 Horton St, Port Macquarie)—delicious seafood and coastal classics, open daily till late.

Jonker Walk Melaka

Soaking Up History, Eats & Vibes in Melaka 🎉 Just spent some time in Melaka and wow—if you’re into heritage, drool-worthy street snacks, and quirky finds (hello, turtle-shaped lamps!), this city brings the goods. Think colorful architecture, riverside strolls, and all the delicious local treats you can carry. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Jonker Walk Melaka (75200 Malacca, Malaysia) This is the absolute must-do. Wander the bustling main street any day or hit the weekend night market for max energy. You’ve got souvenir stalls, antiques, and food carts sizzling up everything from chicken rice balls to pandan layer cake. Best tip: Go hungry and pace yourself! Some stalls are cash-only, so bring small bills. 2. Snap architecture pics 🌺 Melaka’s center is packed with Western-style and modern buildings—just walk along the riverside or slip into tiny alleys. You’ll spot colorful shophouses, quirky flowers out front, and maybe a funky turtle lamp waiting on a table inside. Personal tip: If the weather flips rainy, grab shelter in a riverside café and watch the world go by with an iced kopi. Getting Around The old town is super walkable, but rickshaws (trishaws) are everywhere for fun, easy lifts. Need longer rides? Try Grab for simple e-hailing. Food Musts Sample everything! Start with satay skewers on Jonker Walk, grab a refreshing cendol (shaved ice dessert), and don’t forget Malacca’s signature chicken rice balls. Save space for local durian puffs if you dare. Quick Tips Weather shifts quickly—bring a hat and umbrella. Most places take cash only. Melaka loves souvenirs, so leave bag space. #MelakaMagic #JonkerWalkEats #SoutheastAsiaFinds #TravelTips #tripdotcom

The Bund

Exploring Beijing and Shanghai? This trip gave major city vibes — think riverside strolls, cutting-edge buildings, and chill coffee breaks ☀️🏙️ Here’s my guide to the best spots I found in Shanghai! Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai: 1. The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District) Must-visit for sunset or night views! Stroll along the Huangpu River and catch epic skyline shots (totally Instagrammable). It’s open all day, so no rush — just go when the light is right. Tip: Visit during weekdays in the late afternoon to avoid crowds! 2. 1000 Trees This modern architectural wonder is where art and nature fuse — the building’s exterior is literally bursting with greenery. Bring a camera, especially on sunny days (makes those Nature-Vision/Architecture-Vision shots pop!). There are rivers and outdoor art installations nearby for chilling out or people-watching. Quick Tips from My Experience: If you’re craving a break, find a cool indoor coffee shop — there are plenty near The Bund with authentic Chinese wall décor. A perfect spot for some chill time or to edit travel snaps! Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and cheap! Get a Shanghai metro card at any station. The Bund and 1000 Trees are accessible via public transit — just plug the locations into your maps app for the nearest stop. Food: Hit local coffee shops for a uniquely Shanghai vibe (some serve stellar matcha lattes). For dinner, check out riverside spots along The Bund for a view with your meal. Travel Essentials: No visa needed for short stops if you’re eligible for the 144-hour transit policy, but double-check before you go. Always carry some cash and a translation app — it makes everything smoother! #ShanghaiVibes #ModernChina #TravelTips #CityBreak #tripdotcom#china_diaries #chinatrip
