At Dalat, it may be too boring if you are just taking photos everyday. Even you can find different location and different theme, you may end up taking the same shot. So my advice to you is take a break from the photography session and get some adrenaline rush at Datanla where you will be experience the high rope course and the South East Asia longest sliding car.
I signed this high rope course from Klook at RM57 per person instead of RM62 for their normal price. However, I have to get here by myself as there are no transportation included. Basically nothing is included except their harness rental. It is highly recommend you to bring your own drinking water and glove. To get to here, you need to take taxi or just rent a motorbike. The journey takes about less than 15 minutes to reach.
There is no time slot required and you just have to show your Klook voucher to the counter. Please do go to the toilet to release what you had to release or otherwise there is no way you can find a toilet on the tree.
After a short briefing and demonstration about the safety features, we are ready to go. They gave us a time limit of 2 hours. You can quit early but you cannot play over your time limit. However, if you are still on the course when your time limit finishes, you can continue until the end.
Don't you think the trees are extremely tall? Maybe it is because of the GoPro wide angle effect.
Ok, now on linear mode from the top. It is freaking tall right?
Let me show you my leg. Ya it is like more than 5 stories high. Take note, there is no chicken exit once you have started a course. You have to complete it no matter what.
The best part is the zip line across the valley. It is 200m long. Go and back. It is the most exciting part for me.
What is the scariest part for me is this Tarzan jump from a 15m tall platform and you need to hold the net by two hands. The jump really does need a lot of courage. It is your leap of faith. There are two courses that is having this Tarzan jump which is the black course and the red course.
They have plenty of course where the difficulty is differentiate by colors. The easiest is the white color and follow by yellow course which are meant for the kids only. Kids are not allowed to play adult course which is starts from green color and follows by orange, blue, red and black. I managed to finish all 5 courses within 2 hours with some time left. So there is no rush to finish them. You really have the time. The only challenge is your strength and stamina.
What I like about their setup is each color has their own unique challenge. For example this challenge you will only see in the red course and no any other courses. There are two challenges that is repetitive which are the zipline and the tarzan jump which I have mentioned earlier only available in red and black courses.
For me the challenge starts from blue course. The lesser the zipline you have to do, the tougher the course is. The zipline is actually relaxing instead of challenging. You do not need any strength to do a zipline. However, when a course has lesser zipline, you will need to do extra more obstacle course.
I do recommend you to start from green to black instead of vice versa. The reason is once you have tried black and red, your energy is already 80% depleted and you do not find any challenge on the other courses.
I really admire her courage and patience. She never try this kind of game at all. It is not what she likes but she is willing to try and complete every single one of them with her beautiful smile on her face.
Sometimes she did frown too. Especially at the beginning of the courses, amazingly when the course gets tougher the more smile she has. I thought she is crazy. LOL
Black course drained almost all my energy, time for me to look at the beautiful landscape first and rest. The weather is nice and chill. It is not hot at all because of the trees have already shed you well.
The last zipline to end the whole course. It was absolutely a great experience for us and I really do enjoy it. One of the best I had so far after the ESCAPE in Penang.
Let's move on and get ready to the next extreme ride which is the sliding car. Before that, do enjoy my video of this adventure below.
Experience an exhilarating tour of Datanla's natural wonders on the Datanla New Alpine Coaster! Using Wiegand technology, the coasters and tracks are engineered with a magnetic brake system that allows safe distances between cars. Sensor breaks are also installed to let riders control their speed, at the same time limiting the ride from going too fast.
With these advancements, riders can now safely tour the 2,400-meter track at their own pace! Zip through the woods and stop by the majestic Datanla Waterfalls, where you can take a photo or two. Not feeling touristy? Bask in the forest's tranquil atmosphere instead. Discover the beauty of Da Lat's natural landscape on this two-seater attraction!
I book this through Klook as well for RM24.00/pax instead of RM27.00. There are two types of sliding car at Datanla. This is the newest and the longest one which is located at the top of the hill beside the High Rope Course area.
You will stop at the middle to get down to witness the Datanla Waterfall. This yellow color waterfall doesn't look pleasing for me. Unfortunately, all the river and waterfall at Dalat are in this color. It is a shame.
Overall, do not miss this two amazing adventures which is located at Datanla. It is absolutely worth it and make your trip at Dalat more meaningful. Last but not least do enjoy my video of the sliding car below.

Not really much entertainment in Sandakan even though they are just beside the sea. No nice beach for water activities and the nearest island like Pulau Selingan and Turtle Island are about 90 minutes away. As for the town itself, basically is this bowling centre called Champ's which has a very nice and good condition bowling alley, bowling shoes and bowling bowls if to compare with bowling centres like in KL. Not very big at all for their bowling centre which only has 12 lanes. Their shoes look so new! Here is a demonstration on how to bowl. Looks pro...I wonder how is the end result. So what do guys think? Is it a strike? They have a lounge here as well. And a cafe too! The price of the bowling is cost at RM4.80 per game per pax. We went at their most peak hours so their price basically has not much different than our KL City price. As for the bowling shoes is chargeable at RM2.00 per pax. FYI, the prices not inclusive government ta...
What will people think first when we talk about Penang? Penang Hill? Batu Feringghi? Hard Rock Cafe? I doubt any of them come first but their local food! Penang famous with their local foods and that is the reason there are a lot of hawker center at Penang. One of them is at Jalan MacAlister. No name for this hawker center but the local good foods are concentrated here. A lot of hawker stall like this here. There are just too many to choose from.

The Sagano Scenic Railway is a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of western Kyoto, which is mostly known for the Arashiyama area. Known also as the Sagano Torokko or Sagano Romantic Train, this retrofited old-fashioned stream train takes you beyond Arashiyama for a perfect escape from the busy cities and crowded spots of the rest of Japan. This railway now runs old fashioned trains on a 19th century narrow gauge railway through picturesque countryside between Saga-Arashiyama and Kameoka. The most popular route is from Saga Torokko Station to Kameoka Torokko Station. Saga Torokko Station is right next to JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, which is easily reached from Kyoto Station. From Kyoto Station take the JR Sagano Line. The journey takes 17 minutes and the fare is 240 yen. While the Sagano Scenic Railway is not covered by your Japan Rail Pass, the trip is worth the small extra cost. You may purchase tickets at the Saga-Arashiyama Station or at any Japan Rail ticket office in...
I used to whine that Japanese cuisine in Johor Bahru is horrifying and disappointing until I meet Warakuya Japanese Garden at Mount Austin. From the exterior itself, this restaurant looks so grand and luxury. The first thing comes to my mind is the price will be hefty. However, when I saw the queue in front of the restaurant, I already doubt their price is going to be really expensive. I know people just loves good food but at the minimum price. Who doesn't anyway? One of the best part of the restaurant is they are providing 42" LCD TV, free flow of drinks and seating area for the queue. You will never know time flies when you are having those things at the waiting area. Something that Sushi Zanmai needs to consider.

The Brussels sprout is a cultivar in the Gemmifera group of cabbages (Brassica oleracea), grown for its edible buds. The leafy green vegetables are typically 2.5–4 cm (0.98–1.6 in) in diameter and look like miniature cabbages. The Brussels sprout has long been popular in Brussels, Belgium, and may have originated there. Oh, sorry that was from the Wikipedia about Brussels sprout but what I am about to share with you is a restaurant which is known as Brussels Sprouts Two. Since Brussels sprout is popular in Belgium, when a restaurant with a name with it which means they are serving Belgium cuisine. It is located just next to the East Coast Beach and you will get to enjoy the great wind from the beach. When you are in a Belgium restaurant, it is all about beer and mussels! Stella Artois informally called Stella, is a pilsner beer of between 4.8 and 5.2% ABV. It has been brewed in Leuven, Belgium, since 1926, although it is brewed in other locations as well. A lower alcohol...

Whenever you are in Sapa, Cat Cat Village is always one of the highlight of this place. The reason is this is the original village of the Hmong tribe which is the closest from Sapa town. Even though now it has become a tourist spot and has lost its real originality. However, it is still a good start to know about the people who is living in Sapa. It is about a 30 minutes walk from the central of the town but the scenery along the way is breathtaking. It is totally worth it. Just be mindful that the road is narrow and steep. Sometimes I feel the road is just too small for two vehicles to use on different direction. You will feel that you will be pushed down from the road. So I would suggest those who is bringing kids, please get a taxi. Do buy one of their colorful native costume for picture shooting. It is highly recommended. It is not expensive at all. So you should not be worry about spending too much money on a costume which you will never wear later on....

After an overrated trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I had my disappointment redeemed by visiting Shika Snow Mountain. The highest point that we can go as a tourist is only 4500m instead of 4680m at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. However, it is fine by us for many reasons so do read on. It is quite easy to get to the snow mountain from Shangri-la because it stands 4 miles (7 kilometers) to the southwest of the county. Take bus line 9 from Shangri-la Passenger Station, and get off at the terminus. The bus is available from 7.30am to 5.00pm at hourly intervals. The fare is CNY 3. Take a taxi to the scenic area at about CNY 30 for a single trip. Charter a car, and it costs about CNY 60 for a round trip. You should agree a time with the driver for him to pick you up for the return trip. I took the option 3 which is the convenient options ever as you don't have to waste time to take the bus. The bus is not bad actually for just CNY3 for the fare but the bus took an hour t...
The best attraction in Guangzhou is the Chimelong Changlong. It is a very big place like Resort World Sentosa (RWS) at Singapore. Same like RWS with a hotel called Chimelong Hotel and an amusement park called Chimelong Paradise. The difference are they have more than the two similarity which are they have a circus called The Chimelong International Circus, The Chimelong Water Park and the one I am going to introduce to you today, Xiang Jiang Safari Park or which is more known as Chimelong Safari Park. Same like Guangzhou Zoo , they have a north and south gate. You are advised to go to their South Gate. One thing is different is they do not have a long queue like the Guangzhou Zoo because they allowed online booking and payment. To reach here, you take their Metro Underground Train using Line 3 to Hanxi Changlong. They are just located at the exit. I have my cute cousin sister (left) and her friend (right) who are from China. She is so kind enough to take me around and also...
