Yu Shan (于山) Scenic Area in Fuzhou, China

ByCat 30 July 202029 July 2020

Yu Shan (于山) Scenic Area in central Fuzhou, China is named after the Yu Yue historical tribe. This quaint spot has several temples and pavillions as well as viewpoints overlooking different parts of Fuzhou. I really enjoyed visiting this little oasis nestled in the city proper.

Happy travels!

A Big Sur Road Trip
ByCat 15 August 2015

I don’t remember how or when the idea germinated that some friends and I would take a road trip down to Big Sur (California). I was excited because I’ve wanted to drive down Highway 1 (a.k.a. “the One” or “PCH”) for a very long time. I had the very fortunate experience of attending college at…

ByCat 26 April 2015

This is a much delayed post! Our trip dates were March 20 – March 26. At first, this road trip idea originated as a trip to Hawaii, Kauai in particular.

Rialto Beach at Olympic National Park
ByCat 16 July 202015 July 2020

Rialto Beach sits at the mouth of the Quillayute River near La Push, Washington (yup, that same famous town associated with the Twilight series) and is one of those beaches to spend more time at to discover something new, exploring the rocks and driftwood or even tide pools. (I arrived early evening so I didn’t…

Stainslaus National Forest
ByCat 7 September 2015

Here’s what not to do on a road trip: Plug in Tuolumne into the GPS and let it take you there. We put too much trust into the GPS and it was my fault for not looking up the directions earlier. The GPS calculated the distance and took us into Stanislaus National Forest via highway…
