Ulu Petanu Waterfall
Tucked deep within Tegallalang village, Ulu Petanu Waterfall offers a peaceful, intimate retreat far from Bali’s busy tourist spots, where crystal-clear waters cascade gently amid dense jungle. Steeped in legend, it is also known as the sacred site linked to King Mayadenawa, whose blood is said to have cursed the nearby river, making the waterfall a place of spiritual cleansing and reverence.


Wat Phra Kaew Chiang Rai and The Sacred Storm
Tucked away in the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai, Wat Phra Kaew is a temple steeped in legend, royal heritage and spiritual significance. Once called Wat Pa Yeah or the "Bamboo Forest Temple," it was renamed after its association with the famed Emerald Buddha, now enshrined in Bangkok. Established as a royal temple during the Lanna Kingdom in the late 14th century, it stands as one of Chiang Rai’s oldest religious sites still in operation today.


One Pillar Lotus Pagoda
Regarded as one of Vietnam's most iconic architectural treasures, the original One Pillar Pagoda was constructed in 1049AD by Emperor Lý Thái Tông. Officially named Diên Hựu Tự, which translates to the “Temple of Long-lasting Blessings,” this historic Buddhist shrine is dedicated to Quan Âm, the bodhisattva of compassion and has long been a site of worship, particularly for those seeking blessings for fertility and health.


Eikan-dō Zenrin-ji Temple
Bursting with an impressive collection of ancient cultural treasures, Eikan-dō is a sprawling complex of gardens and halls, most famous for its crimson maple leaves in Autumn. Established in 853 at the northern foot of Mount Higashiyama, this temple was a place of learning that nurtured the Pure Land sect it now belongs to.
