Wah Chan Gold & Jewellery: 5 Amazing Travel Destinations to Unwind This Year

Dreaming at your work desk about last month's fun and frolic of holidays? In need of some sun? Perhaps it is about the time you start to plan for another holiday trip this year, if you don’t yet. Though weekend getaways are mostly welcomed, there’s nothing quite like a true getaway to unwind and stress-relieving, especially if your workweek is long and arduous. Want a shopping spree, a beach, some relaxing hiking trails, world-class dining, and a few remarkable sights to see?

It’s not been easy, but we have shortlisted 5 amazing travel destinations for you to discover this year:

For history enthusiasts: London

From the modern London Eye to the historic Tower of London, the city is all for those history and art lovers to discover the very best things to do. Even better, most of the landmarks are free to visit. There are plenty of culturally rich places to visit; meet a celebrity at Madame Tussauds; wander around the top London museums; visit the Queen at Buckingham Palace; or take a perfect picture with Big Ben.

Of course, London also earns the reputation of having the best theatre plays in the world, so take your pick and you might see a few famous faces on the stage.

For romantic travellers: Paris

Labelled worldwide as the City of Lights and Love, Paris is definitely one of the best cities in Europe for romantic travellers. True to its names, the culturally vibrant city is clean, easy to navigate, and full of beauty at every corner. Make your way up Arc de Triomphe to enjoy sweeping spectacular views of the gorgeous city; soak in some gothic architecture history at Notre Dame Cathedral; and walk into any of its 70 Michelin-starred fine dining for a memorable night with your loved one.

Of course, there are the must-see iconic Eiffel Tower and the world renowned wines, as well as quiet chic cafes for unwinding.

For free-spirited hearts: Maldives

That’s true when someone said life is better under the sea. Rich in a warm and exotic culture, Maldives is renowned for its coral reefs under the crystalline blue waters. Amazingly remote and incredibly pure, this island paradise offers peaceful sanctuary from the hectic urban life. So, if you are looking for adrenaline rush, take part in water sports like surfing and water-skiing. If you don’t, go scuba diving or snorkeling and explore the stunning coral reefs.

Getting to the Maldives nowadays is no longer hard, thanks to flights and public transports. There are plenty of luxury and affordable resorts offered in Maldives, but an indulgent spa experience might be the perfect end for your trip.

For adventurers and backpackers: Sydney

Safe and friendly with no language barriers, Sydney is an ideal destination for young travellers and lots of solo backpackers. Tour the city by bike, pass by the Sydney Opera House, and gasp as you climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge, marveling at the awesome panoramic view beneath. But the best way to explore the city is to hike your way through the coastal trails such as the Bondi to Congee. You’ll enjoy picnics just like the locals, grab a coffee at a beachfront cafe along the way, or simply sit down and absorb the spectacular views.

Alternatively, hop from one bed & breakfast to another, and you are almost assured there’s always someone to share a drink and some travel tips.

For fun and budget travellers: Bangkok

For many, Bangkok is a never-sleep city that is perfect for affordable, abundant shopping and street food that is available around the clock. True, but Bangkok also has many stunningly beautiful cultural essentials that are as good as in London: arrive stylishly by boat to enjoy the great view of stunning Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew; climb up steep stairway to the grandiose Wat Arun; or look at some of Thai art designs at Jim Thompson’s House.

For livelier things to do, head for the water: Damnoen Saduak is one of the many floating markets for local food and handicrafts. To achieve ultimate relaxation, get a Thai massage that is believed to contain healing properties.
