Lisbon DiaryLiaboa Diary
It’s been a while that I thought about sharing these pictures of Lisbon, I will always remember this beautiful city as the one with the warm colors. I would like to suggest you few of the many things that you can do in Lisbon, such as the tour on the 28 bus, I loved it! You can take this bus in the street next to Praça do Comércio (you have already seen it here) and it will take you to Bairro Alto, the upper area of Lisbon. Convento do Carmo is my favorite monument, it was a gothic style Convent that got destroyed by an earthquake and it remained as…

Jurassic CoastJurassic Coast
During my trip in South England, I’ve visited the Jurassic Coast. It’s an amazing site, I would like to suggest a visit here to those who love to take photos, the colors of the beaches are incredible. In the Jurassic Coast you won’t find any fossils of dinosaurs, the coast gained this name for its ancient stones. You can get here by bus or by car, but once you arrive there is a long walk to get to the beach so you should wear comfortable clothes. Durante il mio viaggio a Sud dell’Inghilterra ho visitato la Jurassic Coast. È un sito davvero interessante, suggerisco di visitarlo in particolare alle persone…

Luxembourg GardensJardins du Luxembourg
Bonjour à tous! These pictures have been taken in the beautiful Jardins du Luxembourg in Paris, my favorite garden in the city. There are a lot of flowers and, as you can see from the pictures, the grass is impeccable. If you walk inside the Luxembourg Gardens you will find a small Statue of Liberty! The outfit style is casual, I’m wearing a black t-shirt and jeans both from Guess and the Bata shoes. I wanted to add some colors to this dark outfit, so I picked these Marc Jacobs sunglasses and I matched them with the Forever 21 necklace of the same color. I’m wearing: T-shirt: Guess Jeans: Guess…

Shanghai by night
[:en] Shanghai was the last stop of this amazing trip to China. I wanted to show you my favorite moment of this city: Shanghai by night! There are colors and lights all night on the skyscrapers. If you are brave enough, you can go up to the top of the tower in the picture below, in the Pudong quarter. The elevator works with a magnet system, and it only takes one minute to go up to the 100th floor. Below this building there is a very nice street where you can walk and you can see the Bund and its lights. I found amazing that in Shanghai there are so…

[:en] What to see in Xian, as I was telling you in the previous post about Xi’an, this time I’m showing the pictures of the army of terracotta and the Wild Goose Pagoda and its wonderful garden. I absolutely loved the gong, it must be hitten three times and make a wish. I’ve had the chance to go around Xi’an at night, it’s a safe city with a nice nightlife. The shops close at 23:00, at that time there were people skating, there was a beautiful atmosphere. I also went to the Tang Dinasty Theater, if you are already followers of Instagram you probably saw the pictures of the show.…

[:en]Discovering the Hutong in Beijing[:it]Gli Hutong di Pechino[:]
[:en]This is a sequel of the posts-saga “What to see in Beijing part 1–2“, but I really didn’t feel like naming this post “what to see in Beijing part 3”! This time I’m showing you the Hutongs of Beijing, more specifically in the Xicheng District. The Hutongs are the small streets and they are not only in Beijing. This quarter is very important because it’s the only part of the Beijing that remained untouched by the modernity of the city as we see it today. It’s very nice to walk around these streets, and I suggest you to visit the Olympic Homestay, which is a well preserved home and you…

[:en]What to see in Beijing (part 2)[:it]Cosa vedere a Pechino (parte 2)[:]
[:en]As I promised, here I am with the second part of What to see in Beijing (also read What to see in Beijing part 1). The first pictures of this post are the ones of the Sacred Way, in the ancient chinese world when the emperors died their bodies had to be taken to the tombs prepared for them and to go to there they had to go through the Sacred Way. In the picture below there is a turn, that was made because the ancient Chinese thought that the evil spirits could only go straight, so the turn could protect the emperors. After the Sacred way pictures there is the Temple…
