I happened to have a short vacation, so I decided to visit Vietnam. The last time I came to Ho Chi Minh City was when I was in elementary school. Returning again after so many years, I could still feel the vibrant energy and lively atmosphere of the city. Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city and economic center of Vietnam. Most of the major attractions are concentrated in District 1, making it easy to explore on foot or by using Grab for short rides.
Located in Dali, Taichung, Pusasi is a very special kind of Buddhist temple. There is none of the solemn grandeur traditionally associated with temples, nor the thick clouds of incense that often fill the air. Instead, visitors are greeted by an old plum tree, large rocks, a pond, and climbing vines at the entrance. With fewer preconceived notions comes more room for imagination and possibilities.
中秋連假才剛結束，十月的國慶連假又要來了！
如果正計畫帶著一家人出門走走，可以將親子同樂的觀光工廠和生技園區列入考慮，除了能讓孩子盡情放電，大人也能好好充電。
前陣子到臺中出差，入住的旅館剛好就在西區。
早上起床，會先到附近的市民廣場快走，工作告一段落，需要喘口氣時，就到國美館看看展覽，逛逛勤美誠品綠園道。
來臺中這麼多次，如果要選一個地方住下來，那我肯定會選這一區。
黃龍溪古鎮是 Klook「樂山大佛和黃龍溪古鎮一日遊」的下半場，由於我此行主要是想看世界遺產樂山大佛，原以為黃龍溪古鎮沒什麼亮點，走過一趟後，覺得這個與諸葛亮有深厚淵源的地方還是值得寫下來。
Located about a two-hour drive from Chengdu, the Leshan Giant Buddha is a World Heritage Site that I had always wanted to visit. This time, I joined a local tour through Klook to Leshan. The tour included hotel pickup at 6 a.m. and returned to downtown Chengdu around 6 p.m. Although it was a packed one-day itinerary covering both the Leshan Giant Buddha and Huanglongxi Ancient Town, it was well organized, and the lunch was surprisingly good as well. I would definitely recommend it.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is a must-visit destination in Chengdu. It serves as a conservation and research center dedicated to giant pandas. The entire park is designed with bamboo forests and natural woodland, providing pandas with a habitat that closely resembles their natural environment. Giant pandas are a species native to China and are mainly found in the mountainous regions of Sichuan, the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, and parts of Gansu. There are currently more than 1,800 wild giant pandas, and they are classified as a vulnerable species. So far, the Chengdu Panda Base has successfully bred more than 200 giant pandas.
去西藏前，在成都待了五天，素有「天府之國」之稱的成都，擁有超過 4500 年的歷史，從西元前 311 年的戰國時期，秦國在這裡築城，2300 多年來城址未遷、城名未改，是少數延續至今的千年古都。
這段時間的藝文展覽圈，許多人都在為「故宮」、「國寶」、「龍藏經」和「七世福報」瘋狂。
其實，不用排 3 個小時的隊，也不用搞懂新的預約系統，到故宮南院就有機會悠悠哉哉獨享《龍藏經》。
我的老闆是個無肉不歡的肉食主義者，但很妙的是，只要回臺灣，他每週都會到果然匯報到。
一直對蔬食吃到飽沒什麼興趣的我，在吃過之後，終於明白他為什麼這麼喜歡。
