Thailand's niche destinations
- Death Railway and Bridge on the River Kwai (Kanchanaburi )
Kanchanaburi in Thailand is not far from Bangkok. You can say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok in about 4 hours by bus. Come to the elegant and peaceful Kanchanaburi.
The most famous attractions in Kanchanaburi are the Death Railway and the Bridge on the River Kwai. As time has changed, the Death Railway still retains traces of the war. The railway was built between two mountains and was entirely made of wood. On the cliff It seems like you can experience amazing heart-beating moments between the cliffs.
You might as well take an old-fashioned train, accept the baptism of historical tracks, and feel the preciousness of hard-won peace on the Death Railway.
- Cabbages Condoms Restaurant (Bangkok)
According to a Thai friend, the owner of this restaurant is Mr. Michai, chairman of Thailand’s influential “Population and Community Development Association” (similar to the Family Planning Commission). More than 20 years ago, Thailand's AIDS patients increased sharply. Michai realized the importance of condoms, so he traveled around to promote the role of condoms. Later, he built Thailand's largest condom factory and used "Michai" as the brand. Now "Michai" has become synonymous with Thai condoms. This restaurant is his concept store. After dining here, the waiter will give everyone a condom as a gift.
Tell me bluntly, the whole restaurant smells of rubber
- Koh Lanta ( Krabi )
Koh Lanta is located about 70 kilometers south of Krabi City. Compared with the over-developed Phuket , this island has basically remained original. style. The area of Koh Lanta is only one-third of Phuket, and it only takes more than an hour to drive around the island. Most tourists choose to visit for about two days. Renting a motorcycle to travel around the island is the best way to understand Koh Lanta.
Accommodation in Koh Lanta is also very convenient, and tourists can arrange it according to their own circumstances. To the east is the ancient town of Lanta, where sea gypsies live; to the west are beaches and hotels along the way, where accommodation is most concentrated; to the north is Sala Dan town, close to the ferry terminal, where food, drink and entertainment are concentrated, and hotels are relatively cheap. .
Niche destinations in IndonesiaHiking at Mount Ringani ( Lombok )
Rinjani volcano (Rinjani) located in Lombok is the second highest volcano in Indonesia, and Bali Mount Gong , Java Island and Mount Bromo are known as the three major sacred mountains in Indonesia, attracting many Hindus and Sak people to make pilgrimages to the mountains.
The hiking trails here are known as one of the "Top Ten Hiking Trails in the World".It has both the warm feeling of tropical rainforest and the cold experience of volcanic gravel.
For ordinary tourists, the green Crescent Lake Segara Anak on the edge of the crater is also fascinating. The unique volcanic hot springs can relieve fatigue during the journey, and can even treat skin diseases and strengthen the body. The reason why Mount Ringani is famous is that its gameplay is not monotonous. It can be a two-day and one-night itinerary or a three-day and two-night itinerary.
Also, the unique "volcano within a volcano" must not be missed! Climbing up the crescent-shaped crater, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire volcanic lake. There is also a magical volcanic cone in the vast green lake, which emits white smoke from time to time. This is a magical scene formed by the magma that once erupted stretched and solidified in the lake water.
- Penglipuran Village (Bali)
According to local residents, this place has a history of hundreds of years. These houses have not been repaired twice, and the descendants of the original aborigines still live in the houses. There are schools, supermarkets, banks and other infrastructure not far away, but the layout and structure of the entire village is still intact, retaining the most local and ancient atmosphere, as if traveling back to ancient times, when everything was made by hands.
In addition to living there, some families also turn their courtyards into museums, art galleries, etc. for visits. Along the way, the tour guide explains some culture such as the repair of the courtyards of Bali temples. It is really a very special travel experience.
- Jatiluwih Rice Terraces (Bali)
Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a large area of terraces located in central Bali, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 2012.9, showing the tropical volcanic terraces scenery of Bali. It takes two and a half hours one way from Ubud to the Kadrui Rice Terraces, so there are fewer tourists. In the distance is the Batukalu volcano, blocking the water vapor blowing from the Indian Ocean. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the terraces are dotted with red coconut trees. The flowers and the majestic volcanic background make it unique among countless terraces in the world, showing the perfect combination of tropical scenery and pastoral scenery. The terraces are large in area and dotted with some thatched huts, giving it a more exotic feel. Another very important point is that there are few people here, so there is no sense of déjà vu like “a group of people are out on a spring outing”.
Taiwan’s niche destinations
- Orchid Island Island (Taitung)
Orchid Island is located off the southeastern coast of Taiwan. Most of the residents on the island are aboriginals of the Dawu tribe. The Shanghai-style people with cheerful personalities also attach great importance to their own As for traditional culture, Orchid Island was originally called "Ponso no Tao", which means "Island of Man" in Tawu language. The island is famous for its unique traditional customs of Taiwan's aboriginal Tawu people and the flying fish season.
The volcanic island of Orchid Island has a terrain of mountains, hills and streams covered with tropical trees, and a winding coast surrounded by the sea, creating a variety of natural attractions that are very popular among travelers! On Orchid Island, you can not only live with the local aborigines, visit underground houses, enjoy flying fish dishes, patrol coconut crabs at night, or simply lean on the pavilion and watch the sea and watch the flocks of goats, Orchid Island is also Taiwan's diving destination. One of the holy places, I personally suggest that among the six outlying islands in Taiwan, Orchid Island is the first choice for small villas.
Jimmy Park ( Yilan )
Jimmy Park became a new highlight of Yilan tourism in 2013. It was reorganized by the Yilan County Government into the old railway dormitory area and set up as a transit center. The planning theme park combined with installation art broke the ordinary rigidity. The impression of a transfer station makes waiting for the bus fun, and the historical buildings and the shade of old trees are deliberately preserved, turning the originally abandoned open space into a colorful art park, just like walking into a picture book and exploring Jimmy's picture book world.
Jimmy Park intercepted images from three picture books to present them, namely - Go left. Go right, subway, starry sky, and with the theme of "Memory of Momentary Scenery", we look forward to how visitors will interact with this space. Go left.
- Longteng Broken Bridge (Miaoli)
Longteng Broken Bridge and Shengxing Station As the two major attractions of the old mountain line and known as the "Taiwan Railway Art", the Longteng Red Brick Arch Bridge was built by Guangdong masters in 1905. The arch bridge made of red brick and cement is very strong. But it was still defeated by the earthquake on April 21, 2014, and now only the bridge piers are left. Now these brick-red bridge piers stand among the green mountains and forests. They are a witness to history and a scenic landmark with a sense of vicissitudes of life.
