Monza Park

20 April 2015

The park in Monza is enormous!  I did not expect to walk so much prior to the start of the walk.  It's kilometres of green.  Huge trees, flowers, river Lambro, meadows, villas dotted the park and attribute to its beauty.  You will never walk alone there.  Mother and child, grandparents and grandsons, bikers, families, friends in group, dogs always come into your eyesight.  It is very popular among the citizens, their beloved.


Monza Park is mostly known for the Formula 1 Grand Prix race.  But actually the park is more than a racing place. It is about 700 hectares, as the biggest historical park in Europe and the largest walled park.


The scenes are varied and majestic.

 




Big and aged trees are here and there.  It's like big lungs cleansing the air of the city.  You breath in life and happiness.

Meadows, flowers and lake alter the scenes.  The no border scenes open your heart to hope, imagination and possibility.





The nature is accompanied with buildings such as the Royal Villa, farmhouse, restaurant, pavilion, etc.





And, there is art too.  It stays always there. I saw it the first time many years ago and it still remains.




Location: Monza MB, Italy

Kbal Spean

Kbal Spean is a unique archaeological site situated 50km from the Siem Reap.   Religious stone cravings sit on the river banks and bed, 150m stretch of the Stung Kbal Spean River.     Kbal Spean is commonly known as the "Valley of a 1000 Lingas " or "The River of a Thousand Lingas". Lingas are phallic representations sacred to Brahmanism.   It is a symbol of fertility.   Hundreds of them are carved into the rock of the river.   Other carvings include gods such as Vishnu , Shiva , Brahma and animals. To appreciate the beautiful carvings in the nature, one has to climb a trek for around 30 minutes.   Exhausted but worthwhile. Reclining Vishnu is often the theme of carvings.   Others include Shiva and Uma mounted on the bull, Brahma on a lotus petal and still others which I can't figure out exactly. Animals, lingas, yoni dot here and there.            Downdream ...

15 June 2012 HK Heritage Museum - Hakka Women It has been more than 10 years that I haven't been to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum .  Today, a Picasso exhibition brought me back.  Hmm, a Spanish artist associating with the Chinese heritage.  It's a special event of the French May .  It drew a lot of people to the museum, though a bit remote.  People, family speaking different languages crowded at the venue.  Picasso 's paintings shown were across his different periods.  Many photos of him and friends were also shown. Hong Kong Heritage Museum is unique in providing the history of Hong Kong, featuring Hakka (Guest family) migration, as a fishing village, the traditional Cantonese opera as the integral parts of Hong Kong's heritage, history and culture. During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (18th century), people were encouraged to utilise wasteland for farming.  A big demographic shift of residen...

Marshal Zen Garden Beitou 北投少帥禪園

Marshal Zen Garden was built during the Japanese-colonised period of the 1920's.  It was renowned for the hot spring and was used as the entertainment hub of the Japanese pilots during the end of the World War II. In the 1960's, it was used to confine Marshal Chang Xue-liang and his wife Zhao Di. We checked in in our hotel Double Inn and was driven there.  The environment is very soothing with a lot of green, flowers and typical Japanese set up. We first enjoyed our afternoon tea after travelling straight from Alishan to Chiayi to Taipei. You can visit the Zen Garden if you hold a booking of  the tour, hot spring or restaurant. It was very nice to enjoy the afternoon in its tea house  小六茶舖. It's cosy and the food was superb, good value for the money. NTD900 for two. Marshal Chang and his wife were detained at the Zen Garden for decades.  Though it was years ago, the exhibition of his room, photos and his life made me feel...
