Born from the legend of Resi Markandeya’s vision of angelic dancers over the Ayung River, Taman Dedari blends myth and appetite in equal measure. Here, guests savour Balinese flavours in a riverside setting guarded by monumental stone Dedari, the celestial maidens of old.

In the heart of Zhengzhou, the capital of China’s Henan Province, stands a structure that quietly guards the soul of a civilization, the Henan Museum. With its soaring, bronze-coloured dome echoing the shape of an ancient Chinese cauldron, the museum is not just a building, it’s a portal to one of the oldest and most culturally rich regions in China. Here, the spirit of one of the world’s oldest civilizations lingers in every artifact, whispering stories from millennia ago.
