Harry Potter Film Locations in The United Kingdom

Harry Potter is one of the most well-loved franchises in books as well as in the movies. While most of the places mentioned in the books are fictional, with the exception of London, most of them are real film locations. Unfortunately, most of them are closed to visitors. Here are some of the London locations where Harry Potter movies were shot. London Harry Potter lived a normal life in suburban London in the fictional town of Little Whinging. There in that little town, Harry became an orphan and was raised by an anti-magic aunt and uncle. The London Zoo Reptile House was the sight of where 10-year old Harry realized his magical powers when he talked to a boa constrictor. Soon he was invited to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Other sites in London used for Harry Potter films are the Big Ben and Parliament where Harry was welcomed to the modern city inhabited by the Muggles; King’s Cross Station where Harry took the train to Hogwarts.

Four Most Underrated Activities in Ha Long Bay

Asia/Destinations
Four Most Underrated Activities in Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay has to be one of the most visited sites in Vietnam. Its sheer beauty is a major draw card for millions of visitors each year who spend time on boat cruises drifting in and out of the thousands of islands. While most tours involve cave visits, kayaking and swimming, there are a few activities which have passed underneath the radar despite how amazing they are. Here are four of the top underrated experiences you should check out when touring Ha Long Bay in the future.   Mountain Biking While most of the area’s activities are water based, few realise that there are actually some larger islands which you can explore on bike. Cat Ba is the best of these as there are a number of trails to choose from. You can also see plenty of wild animals while there. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll spot a Cat Ba Langur, a primate unique to the island and one of the most endangered in the world. While touring the island, also remember to stop in at villages such as Viet Hai for a unique look at the local culture and lifestyle. Bicycles can be rented on the island so […]

Asia/Destinations
Must-see Sights in Koh Samui, Thailand

The island of Koh Samui is one of Thailand’s most popular holiday destinations. Travellers with a range of budgets, from backpackers to luxury holidaymakers, will find that there’s something for everyone. Single people, groups of friends and families can all find the perfect holiday on Koh Samui. Whether they enjoy sports, nature, parties or just lounging on the beach, there’s fun everywhere. There are plenty of things to see and do, including many that you just can’t leave the island without experiencing. Big Buddha The Big Buddha statue is possibly Koh Samui’s most famous landmark. The statue is located on a small rocky island, just off Koh Samui’s northeastern point. Far from being an ancient landmark, the 12-metre golden statue was built in 1972. Locals know it as Wat Phra Yai, and you can reach it by a causeway connecting it to the main island. If you arrive in Koh Samui by aeroplane, the Big Buddha may be one of the first things you see as you arrive. You can see it from a distance of several kilometres. The Big Buddha temple is not just an artistic attraction though. The temple is a sacred place, so be sure to dress […]
