Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong wouldn’t be complete without a sea of paper lanterns 🏮✨ Every year, Hong Kong lights up for the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, I’m documenting the hands behind our cultural traditions 🥮🏮 Some traditions are kept in museums, but Hong Kong’s heritage is kept alive on the streets through the people who carry our history forward ~
 When the design details at the @islandshangrila reflect the city, every stay feels like I’m returning home 🤍
 Comment “SUMMER” to get all the details! 🍋🎶 There’s golden hour and then there’s blue hour 💙🌅 Before watching the full sunrise at the Duomo piazza right outside, I visited Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II before the crowds arrived. Seeing the galleria that’s normally packed with visitors from around the world felt like a completely different experience for my slightly sleepy rose coloured eyes 💕 

Having this 19th-century marvel to yourself lets you truly appreciate the scale of the Milan architecture. If you return later in the day when the boutiques open, the upper levels house historic cafes, contemporary art galleries, and restaurants that have elevated views of the Piazza del Duomo. Sitting at a window table up at a restaurant like Spazio to watch the crowds below while enjoying a meal is one of my favourite ways to experience the piazza and galleria. 

Save this for your next trip to Milan Italy ! 💕🇮🇹

A classic Euro summer story in Milan would not be complete without a visit to the Duomo di Milano, but escaping the crowds in the Piazza del Duomo by climbing up to the terraces is where it gets really special 🏛️✨ Lisbon ~ a city that feels like an open-air art gallery where contemporary murals live alongside centuries-old ceramic tiles in historic neighborhoods like Alfama. Oh and the motherland of my favourite natas!!! 🤩 Sintra ~ the fairytale capital of Portugal 🏰🇵🇹 Exploring Pena Palace and Monserrate Palace literally felt like walking through a storybook
