UNESCO ~ Malacca / Melaka

The Stadthuys was built in 1650 as the official residence of the Dutch Governor.
It now houses the Historic Museum and Ethnography Museum.
Also in the photography is the Christ Church built in 1753, and another fine example of the Dutch architecture.


Built in 1511 by the Portuguese, the A Famosa suffered damages during the Dutch invasion, leaving only its gateway as the hallmark of Malacca today.

UNESCO in China ~ Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area


Located in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province.

Jiuzhaigou is reputed as a "fairyland", it features an integration of green lakes, multi-layered waterfalls, forests and snow-mountains with Tibetan culture and customs. The water of Joiuzhaigou is widely known for its crystal-clearness, pure transparency and rich colours.

There are rich floral resources here, and many kinds of rare animals, such as giant panda, snub-nosed monkey, and swam.

*****************************
I been to this place in year 2003.
We took about 1 day bus from the city to this UNESCO site.
Eventhing was worth as ......we all was stunned and stopped our breathe when we first seen the little lake ('Hai Zhi'). I never saw such beautiful scene in my life.
Each and every Hai Zhi was so blue and green and all of us can see thru the seabed.

'Hai' = Sea / Ocean
'Zhi' = Children
So, they call the little lake as the little Ocean.

Northern Light



Northern Light above the Talkeetna Mountains.

I had dreamed about Polar Light when I was young.

Auroras, sometimes called the northern and southern (polar) lights or aurorae (singular: aurora),is also called the northern polar lights which are natural light displays in the sky, usually observed at night.

The phenomenon of aurora is an interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind.
