Kaohsiung Breakfast Shops | Taiwan Style Fun

Kaohsiung Breakfast Shop ❶ Xinglongju -- Sweet and savory soup, be careful not to burn your mouth!

Locals in Kaohsiung are very familiar with Xinglongju, a traditional Taiwanese breakfast spot for those going to karaoke, having late-night snacks, and heading to early work. Its breakfast aroma has been a part of Kaohsiung's lives for 62 years. Every morning at 3:30 AM, customers eagerly await the arrival of steaming baskets of freshly made soup dumplings. Xinglongju's soup dumplings are similar to the vegetable and pork dumplings we eat in Hong Kong teahouses, filled with cabbage and pork, with a thin skin and generous filling. It's recommended to take a small bite of the outer layer first to enjoy the sweet and savory broth; be careful not to burn your lips when they're piping hot fresh out of the steamer. Long-time customers have been eating here since childhood, praising the consistently high quality of the taste over the decades.

TravelMaMa's Little Story ❘ It's never too late to start if you're determined

TravelMaMa 小故事 ❘ 有心唔怕遲 - Travel Mama 小包團

It's never too late to start: TravelMaMa doesn't mind targeting younger customers, but surprisingly, our services have attracted a group of clients we never expected. A while ago, our boss personally helped four women in their 70s with their independent trip to Japan (and even contacted them every day to let them know they were safe). We thought it was just a record, but the most amazing thing is that there's more to the story.

The Sky Path with No End

The Sky Road is an agricultural road located in northern Kumamoto Prefecture, stretching from Mount Aso towards the northern outer rim of the mountains. Whenever a sea of clouds appears over the Aso Basin, it looks as if the sky is floating in mid-air.Sky Road (Kario Main Line, Aso City)The name "Laputa Road" is taken from the animated film *Castle in the Sky*, attracting many tourists. Along the road from the Aso Valley crater basin to the northern outer rim of the mountains, a spot appears to float in mid-air when the sea of clouds appears. Because this scene is reminiscent of the scenery in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film *Castle in the Sky*, it has become a popular tourist attraction known as the "Sky Road (Laputa Road)". This road was originally built as an agricultural road for transporting hay, and is very narrow, prohibiting the passage of cars.

Kawagoe

Kawagoe: Temporarily escape the hectic pace of Tokyo and slow down to experience the tranquility and leisure surrounding the city. Many towns in Japan still retain their traditional cultural atmosphere, but none are closer to Tokyo than Kawagoe. Often called "Little Edo," Kawagoe boasts numerous temples and historic streets, perfectly preserving the historical and cultural traditions of Japan's Edo period. It has many century-old shops and old residences, allowing you to truly feel the Edo atmosphere. Every year on the third Saturday and Sunday of October, the grand "Kawagoe Festival" is held. Karuizawa is a famous summer resort in Japan. It also attracts many celebrities and members of the upper class, making it one of Japan's most famous and luxurious villa destinations. Karuizawa's hot springs and beautiful autumn foliage are also major attractions.

Alternative Penang

Alternative Penang: A place in Malaysia brimming with history and cultural heritage, Penang boasts numerous ancient buildings, temples, museums, and cultural attractions, drawing countless visitors. Among them, the Little Penang Street Market is one of Penang's most representative and distinctive cultural tourism events. Open on the last Sunday of each month, it attracts a large number of culture and art enthusiasts, tourists, and locals alike.

Paris Travel Guide

Paris Travel Guide: Paris is a city that everyone dreams of visiting, but it has to be said that language communication can sometimes be a huge obstacle. Paris's public transport system is complex and intricate, with as many as 303 metro stations alone, and a wide variety of ticket types. Coupled with the language barrier, it can be quite a challenge for everyone!

Paris is divided into five zones. Zone 2 is known as "Little Paris," comprising 20 arrondissements (don't confuse the zones with the arrondissements). Zones 3-5 are known as "Greater Paris." Little Paris plus Greater Paris equals Île-de-France. Most major attractions are concentrated in Zone 2, but there are also many must-see places outside Zone 2: Versailles is in Zone 4, and Disneyland and Fontainebleau are in Zone 5. Ticket prices differ depending on the zone number.

Seoul's delicious food in the alleys

Seoul Food: When you hear about Korean food, images of barbecue, kimchi, army stew, fried chicken and beer immediately come to mind... But if you go to Korea and only eat these, you'll definitely feel regretful, because Korea has many other street food stalls hidden in various markets and corners, which are local favorites!

Seoul's Gwangjang Market has so many delicious foods! I highly recommend the raw beef tartare, mung bean pancakes, and kimbap with numbing cream!

The beach across the road – Saint Martin

Saint Martin, in the Netherlands AntillesSt MaartenOn the other side, facing the Netherlands, the strange thing is that it is right next to Princess Juliana International Airport, just across the road.

Maho, the world's strangest beach

The airport's tenth runway is only 2,180 meters long, forcing flights using it to land at the very end of the beach. As a result, beachgoers are constantly bombarded with images of massive aircraft overhead! Despite the noise and danger, this makes the area incredibly popular, with tourists eager to witness the thrill of planes roaring overhead. Vacationers often see large planes flying overhead and are frequently forced to hold onto railings by the strong winds they generate.
