🥇 Travel To A Therapy Hiking Trail, Okutama, Japan by @rt395

I found my new favorite hiking trail in Tokyo, the Toke Trail. Recently I went for a day trip hoping to get into the Nippara Limestone Caves in Okutama, but due to the COVID state of emergency they were closed. Hiking in Okutama was fine though. Okutama is a very old town in far west Tokyo dating back to the Yayoi Jidai, or Bronze Age. Despite it's population decline it's experiencing a slight revival due to young Japanese and foreigners' renewed interest in outdoors activities.

🥈 A Wonderful Camping By A Stream With Dear Friends, Vietnam by @dodovietnam

I had a wonderful camping trip with my dear friends by a stream located in the northwest mountains about 60km from the center of Da Nang city. What could be better than spending time next to a cool stream surrounded by trees and mountains in this hot weather? Watch the video and enjoy the fresh air with me.

🥉 Adventure to Cù Lao Chàm, Vietnam by @jacuzzi

Cù Lao Chàm, is part of the Chàm Islands. The Chàm Islands Consist of eight islands. Hòn Ông (east wind), Hòn Khô mẹ, Hòn Mồ (tomb), Hòn Dài (long), Hòn Lao (Pearl), Hòn Tai (ear), Hòn Khô con (dry) and Hòn Lá (leaf). Cù Lao Chàm, is the larger of the islands and the ones that is inhabited. The Chàm islands were settled about 3000 years ago by the Chàm people of Vietnam. It primarily consisted of fishing villages and as some locals said up until about five years or 10 years ago when you approach the island you could smell fish drying in the sun. However, with tourism, a shift in the economics happened and the islands start to gradually become more tour centric. The Chàm islands have a remarkable ecosystem of fish along with beautiful coral that people come to see. The ocean water is crystal clear, and while swimming can gaze down into the depths easily.
