Is Healthy Nutrition Possible When We Travel?

In my post “Food for Healthy Life” I shared my dietary habits, what I choose to eat and what I avoid, to maintain good health. Sticking to my routine is relatively easy when I’m at home, where I control the food that I buy, prepare and cook. But is it still possible to maintain healthy nutrition when we travel? Let’s take a look at my past travel experiences. Back then, I didn’t pay much attention to my ...

Forbidden City – Beijing

The Forbidden City is a vast palace complex of the Ming and Qing dynasties, located in the very heart of Beijing. I visited Forbidden City for the first time in 2009. That was also my first time in China and Beijing. I went back to Beijing in 2016. But, by the time of my second visit, I had very vague memories of the palace. Although it wasn't new to me, its immense size and beauty captivated me ...

Undoubtedly, the Yu Garden or Yuyuan Garden is one of the most beautiful and most important of all historic sites that you can see in Shanghai. It's located in the central Huangpu district.

Nanjing

After Suzhou, it was time for me to go to Nanjing, the next destination during my stay in China in June 2016. I've been to Nanjing before, but I was very happy to visit this great Chinese city again.



FROM SUZHOU TO NANJING

I travelled from Suzhou North Railway Station, which I mentioned in my Suzhou post. This station is very far from the city centre, right ...

Suzhou

After spending a week in Shanghai, it was time to head to my next destination — Suzhou, a city of just over four million people, located about 100 kilometres northwest of Shanghai. Compared to the vastness of Shanghai, Suzhou felt much smaller, though it remained a major city in its own right.



FROM SHANGHAI TO SUZHOU

My journey from Shanghai to Suzhou took ...

Shanghai

I have visited China five times, with my most recent extended trip taking place in June 2016. I travelled to Shanghai for work, but I decided to extend my stay and also explore Suzhou, Nanjing and Beijing. Although this trip occurred before I started my blog, I felt compelled to write about it. It seems that not many bloggers cover China, likely due to its stringent visa requirements and higher costs ...
