Travel Digest

#1 SungNyeMun Gate, City Hall and Seoul Plaza by @abitcoinskeptic

During the day, the city gates are open and you can walk right through. However, at night the gates are closed to protect the city dwellers from wandering hungry tigers and bandits. However, I think the main reason is to be able to tax goods coming into the market. Even by the 1400s, city walls were fairly obsolete from a military perspective. Also, there were lots of houses outside the walls were the poorer people lived.

#2 Hiking and waterfalls in Chiang Mai by @helgalubevi

For those who love nature, Chiang Mai is a city that can't be missed if you're visiting Thailand. Located in the north, the fourth largest city in the country is surrounded by mountains and a lot of nature. So, there are plenty of trails and waterfalls in Chiang Mai for you to explore... Living there for a year, I haven't stopped making the most of hiking! Temples, elephants, and cooking classes move local tourism. However, if you are going to visit Chiang Mai, I highly recommend escaping from the traditional routes and go to the mountains!

#3 Let's travel together #134 - Cetatea Țărănească Câlnic (Câlnic Citadel) by @gabrielatravels

Câlnic Fortress is considered the most valuable historical building which is located in the village with the same name (Câlnic) and which is still standing still after more than 7 centuries since it was built, at the same time when the Conwy Castle from Wales was raised.The citadel has been through a lot of journeys, seeing and being part of many historical events, which made it still wear the imprint of the German colonists' civilization from Transylvania.
