8 spectacular driving adventures

-

This is the place where you would like to go for an adventure,this 8 place i took from cnngo.com.For more info you can check at their website at the bottom of this post.

1. Clearwater Bay Road to Po Toi O, Hong Kong



Arrive at a picturesque fishing village at the end of the drive.
Driving in Hong Kong can be a stressful affair with constant bullying by mean taxi and mad minibus drivers. But head just outside of the bottleneck areas, and there are some great roads for weekend cruising. For a great afternoon excursion, take Clearwater Bay Road all the way to Po Toi O. Be sure to arrive at Po Toi O just before sunset; it’s a picturesque little fishing village where you can feast on delicious, fresh seafood Canto dishes. And just before hitting Po Toi O, on Tai Au Mun Road, one might catch sight of a row of cars parked off to one side. The drivers are likely flying their model airplanes on the cliff overlooking the beautiful bay.

2. Hokkaido Scenic Byway, Japan












You don't need to fly to Europe to admire fields of lavender stretching to the horizon. There are six designated scenic byways in Hokkaido offering landscapes not unlike those in the Swiss Alps or Provence in France. Just go for a drive on the Taisetsu-Furano scenic byway. This route trumps Provence in one very important way -- it has hot spring baths. To soak your cares away, check into the onsen resorts of Highland Furano or Furano La Terre. For a bit more country charm, check out the quaint, little Hutte Barden Kamifurano.


3. Jeju Island coastal drives, South Korea



South Korea’s resort island of Jeju offers vacationers an easy-going leisure drive along its coastal Ilju Road (Road 12). If staying at The Shilla, cruise the 5.6 kilometers from Mount Songaksan to the base of Mount Sangbansan. Drive up Mount Songaksan for beautiful ocean vistas. The island’s inactive volcanoes, Mount Hallasan, Seongsan Ilchulbong and lava tubes at Manjanggul Cave, have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

4. Phuket Northeast Loop, Thailand



Tired of lazing around the villa pool? Then go for a road trip on Phuket’s Northeast loop. From Heroines Monument, head east along highway 4027. Along the way, pass by fishing villages and shrimp farms, admire the limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay with its James Bond island (named because it appears in "The Man With The Golden Gun") and other islands in the distance. You can also take a drive past Mission Hills Golf Course.

5. Tibetan Highlands, China



On the Road in China organizes a 16-day drive from Kunming, Yunnan or Chengdu, Sichuan through the eastern Tibetan Plateau onto Lhasa. Try yak butter tea, picnic by the side of remote glacial lakes and join crowds of colorful Tibetan pilgrims, murmuring prayers as they circumnavigate the Jokhang Temple. Driving in China requires a Chinese driver’s license, which On the Road in China can arrange.

6. Hai Van Pass, Vietnam



Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson described Hai Van Pass thus: “A deserted ribbon of perfection -- one of the best coast roads in the world”. But on this route, the going gets a little more tough. Hai Van means “ocean clouds” in English. The pass, near Bach Ma National Park, no doubt got its name from the ocean mists that cloud visibility on this winding mountain road overlooking the South China Sea.

7. Leh-Manali Highway, India



This road trip to Ladakh is definitely not a drive to be attempted by fair-weather or weekend motorists. The Leh-Manali Highway, which crosses some of the highest mountain passes in the world (up to 5,000 meters), is driving for adrenaline junkies and those not prone to altitude sickness. Due to snow and the possibility of landslides, the road is only open from June to mid-September. Worth visiting are the many Buddhist monasteries perched high up on cliffs in the region such as Hemis and Lamayuru.

8. Wheel-2-Wheel

Hong Kong, China, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, East Timor to Australia


Wheel-2-Wheel is planning a 100-day, 20,000km fundraising motorbike journey through Asia in support of one local charity in each country. Following in the footsteps of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s Long Way Round bike trip, a camera crew will follow Morgan Parker and Simon Lock’s adventures through Asia raising awareness for a whole host of charities including Child’s Dream in Laos, New Hope in Cambodia and Baan Gerda in Thailand, among others.

    Sounds like you had an amazing time. I particularly like the look of the Phuket North East loop.

  Assalammualaikum, Korang tahu tak apa itu Juz' Amma ?? Sejujurnya aku memang tak tahu menahu pun mengenai perkataan Juz' Amma tu sendiri. Bila aku search baru aku tahu rupanya juz amma ni adalah surah-surah terakhir dalam Al-Quran. Surah-surah dalam Al-Quran tu tahu, cuma perkataan tu je aku tak tahu..kesian kan aku?.Jadi entry kali ini aku akan cerita pasal Juz' Amma . Juz’ Amma adalah juz terakhir dari tiga puluh juz al-Quran. Iaitu ayat pertama dari surat An-Naba' sampai ayat terakhir surat An-Naas . Juz' Amm a merupakan juz dengan jumlah surah terbanyak iaitu sebanyak 37 surah.  An-Naba' An-Nazi`at 'Abasa At-Takwir Al-'Infitar Al-Mutaffifin Al-'Inshiqaq Al-Buruj At-Tariq Al-'A`la Al-Ghashiyah Al-Fajr Al-Balad Ash-Shams Al-Layl Ad-Duhaa Ash-Sharh At-Tin Al-`Alaq Al-Qadr Al-Bayyinah Az-Zalzalah Al-`Adiyat Al-Qari`ah At-Takathur Al-`Asr Al-Humazah Al-Fil Q

Assalamualaikum, Aku masih lagi di sini. Alhamdulillah masih hidup lagi.  Jikalau blogku sudah lama tiada post baru bermakna aku sudah tiada lagi di dunia ini. Alhamdulillah syukur pada hadrat ilahi syukur kepada ALLAH subhanahu wataala akhirnya aku dapat kerja dekat dengan rumah.  Lebih kurang 30 minit sampai tempat kerja.  ALHAMDULILLAH hidup aku baru nak stabil diusiaku yang menjangkau 30 an.  Aku bukan seperti orang lain muda-muda hidup dah stabil.  Hidup aku banyak ujian. Baru sekarang ALLAH hadiahkan aku sedikit kesenangan hidup di dunia.  Masa aku dapat kerja awal-awal tahun 2020 akhir bulan februari, tiba-tiba politik negara kacau bilau kemudian dengan COVID 19 lagi sampai la sekarang.  Alhamdulillah daripada aku probation sampai kerja tetap la. Sampai naik gaji, sampai dapat rasa bonus. First time dalam hidup aku selama aku pernah bekerja nilah kali pertama aku rasa apa itu bonus.  Tempat kerja lama aku dulu macam haram menindas pekerja tiada bonus apa satu haram pun takde.

Tapi kali ni lebih details.  First aku main litmatch aku ada dapat sorang kawan ni aku letak H la ye. Lupa nak cakap masa tu litmatch maybe ok lagi sebab awal lagi tak terdedah pada ramai orang yang tak berguna.  Aku rasa la. Sebab dia ok je. Chat dengan dia ok tak gatal.

Semua tak pernah jumpa. Kau rasa? Hmm memang tak la orang camni. Pastu aku pun cakap dalam hati "patut la kau kena tinggal". Pastu terus aku label die..hmm tak boleh mamat ni.
