Lhong 1919
A riverside heritage site blending Chinese history with modern cafes and art.
Fushimi Inari Taisha
Fushimi Inari Taisha, dedicated to the Shinto god of rice, is famous for its bright red torii gates. At the base of Mount Inari, it’s a peaceful escape from the city. Here you can enjoy hiking the trails and finding smaller shrines along the way. It’s a must-visit in Kyoto, with amazing views at the top.
Shin-bashi Bridge
Kiyamachi-Dori street is nice if walking through this area as it runs along the river and has small pedestrian bridges that make a nice photo.
Reykjanes Lighthouse
A lighthouse sitting right on the edge of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Waves crashing, cliffs stretching out, and the lighthouse just standing there in the middle of it all. Pretty cool stop.

Incredible 360 degree views over Tokyo from the observation deck at the top of the tower.

Town Musicians of Bremen
The Town Musicians of Bremen is a bronze sculpture located near St. Peter's Church in Riga. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, the statue depicts a rooster standing on a cat, which stands on a dog, which stands on a donkey. The sculpture symbolizes freedom and was gifted by the city of Bremen, Germany. It's said that touching the animals' noses brings good luck.
Sri Mariamman Temple
This temple is Singapore's oldest Hindu temple, noted for its ornate entrance tower adorned with colorful sculptures. Here you can admire the intricate architecture and cultural significance. For a respectful visit, observe temple etiquette and explore the detailed interiors.
Jamestown Light House
The Jamestown Lighthouse stands in one of Accra’s oldest districts, offering a look into the city’s maritime history. You can climb the steps for a panoramic view of the coastline. Tours are sometimes available, offering background on the area. The surrounding neighborhood is authentic but can feel less developed, so visiting with a guide is a good idea. Comfortable shoes are a must if you plan to climb the lighthouse.

Angel of Užupis
Standing tall in the heart of the Užupis district, the Angel of Užupis statue represents the area’s artistic spirit and independence. The vibe here is unlike anywhere else—it feels like a bohemian republic within the city. I loved walking around, discovering murals, sculptures, and quirky galleries. If you’re there on April 1st, you can experience Užupis Independence Day—a celebration like no other!
Agafay Desert
The Agafay Desert is a rocky landscape close to Marrakesh, perfect for camel rides and outdoor dinners. It’s a different but equally fascinating experience compared to the Sahara. Tip: Book a guided tour that includes transportation, and bring sunscreen and a hat—the sun can be strong even when temperatures are mild.
