This bridge is very iconic in Causeway Bay; it has some much history as many movies were filmed here as well. This spot is also a popular location for many photographers for portraits and cityscape shots. I find the bridge super unique because of the design and shapes.

Once we got out of the station, the first thing we saw is pretty much the Tower of the Sun. It is designed by Taro Okamoto. It is the most iconic symbol for the Expo Commemoration Park.
There are three faces for this tower. Two in the front and one from the back. For me, this tower looks like a giant bird :)

I am not a big fans of Starbucks as I always find their coffee a bit too sour of my taste. When I was planning my trip to Uji, many people recommended me to check this Starbucks out as this is the first one in Uji town.
In addition, this Starbucks is distinguished by very Japanese-style architecture. Also there is a Japanese garden at the back where customers can enjoy. Personally, I think this is a smart move as Starbucks tried to blend into Uji's culture instead of making another "typical-looking" of Starbucks.

After the Chinese Lunar New Year Parade 2019, the snow storm came pretty quickly. I was lucky to got home pretty fast. I was thinking I should stay home and rest as I still haven't recovered from my cold.
As the snowing gets stronger, I got a feeling that I could take some great photos so I decided to get out of my comfort zone, grab my gears , go out around my neighborhood, get some photos done. In the end, it was well worth the walk as I got some interesting shots from locations that I always pass by :)

After visiting the Tower of the Sun and took the shots we wanted, we decided to spend some time in Expo City. It is one of the largest shopping malls in Osaka which reminds me of the outlet in the United States. You can pretty much find everything you want in one place.
This is the place my girlfriend has been requested. For the next couple hours, she pretty much visited all the stores she wanted. And of course, she bought everything she wished. I actually got some gadgets from this mall too. I always want to take this ferry wheel but my girlfriend is feared of height so she didn't want to go. In the end, we decided to head to Shinsekai...

Throughout this trip, I went to many different temples and shrines. Shimogamo-jinja Shrine isn't the most stunning one; nor it is the oldest shrines I had been to. But it gave me one of the best feelings from all the shrines I had been to.
Everything here is well laid out. In addition, each area is carefully decorated. Since it is located in the adasu no Mori forest. You will hear the sound from the birds which adds a lot of feelings of this temple. I am sure that during the festival time, this place will be packed with people :)

One of the biggest highlights for Yasaka Shrine is definitely the paper lanterns. As you walk through the shine, you can see paper lanterns everywhere.
Many people recommends coming here at night as these paper lantern will light up. The whole scenery will be quite stunning. I visit this shrine twice throughout my trip. I have to be honest that at night time, it looks visually amazing! :)

As I was biking pass this monastery last night with a friend, I still remember I came here pretty often as my parents were pretty devoted into Buddhism. The exterior certainly changed quite a bit from what I remember before.
One thing I really love about Buddhist monastery is the architecture design which is very traditional. The combination of modern lightning and traditional exterior make this monastery even better.
