  • A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Dunhuang: The Cosmopolitan of its time

    Introduction to Dunhuang

    As some of you might have seen in the hit Netflix series Marco Polo, Marco Polo himself was enchanted when he first arrived 700 years ago by the Buddhist grottoes, vibrant culture, and commotion of the Silk Road itself. Established way before the Venetian traveller documented the city in detail as an international import and export hub since 111 BC (Han Dynasty), as well as the diverse mix in religion, language and intellect in the well-known book The Travels of Marco Polo. 

    The Silk Road served as more than just a trade network for merchandise and precious commodities, the mix of population constant migration and movement also made it the perfect breeding ground for an exchange of ideas, cultures, beliefs and knowledge that shaped the surrounding regions. Travellers that took the Silk Roads often took with them science, art, and literature that have come to disseminate into neighbouring communities along the route, including musical instruments like the Erhu or Pipa. Some of the fruits and vegetables we have today in various Chinese cuisines were also of foreign origins, like tomatoes, grapes and even carrots! Up till today, many historical monuments and architecture still stand in all its glory of the days that have passed, marking this driving force in the formation of diverse societies across Eurasia.

    In the North-west of China is Dunhuang, a strategic city that is of great logistical importance, marking the crossing of two major trading routes within the Silk Road. Like a medieval highway, the city is a vital resting point for all sorts of travellers and pilgrims alike. Just on the outskirts of the Taklamakan Desert, Dunhuang is the first stepping stone for trading when merchants arrive in China from the West. The location is also frequented by Buddhist pilgrims, where various religious activities took place. Being the forefront of the Silk Road, it also served its purpose as a garrison town. The city continued to serve its role in the Silk Road until the 11th Century where the road’s importance slowly came to a decline.

     

    Mogao Cave

    Mogao Caves

    South of Dunhuang lies the Mogao Caves, an amazing array of nearly 500 caves that contain a large depository of historic documents along the Silk Roads. One of the caves known as the “library cave” contains almost 40,000 valuable scrolls that helped us understand the cultural diversity and value of Dunhuang. Dating back to as old as 400 AD, the scrolls demonstrate how Dunhuang was a hub for cultural exchange and learning, showcasing the world’s first printed book and the woodblock technique that spread throughout Asia in the centuries to come. 

    Besides being an illustration of Dunhuang’s intellectual exchange, the caves are also known as “Qianfodong”, meaning “the cave of a Thousand Buddhas”, dating back to 366 AD where the first Buddhist monks decided that the city was an epicentre for Buddhist learning. Over time it has drawn large numbers of pilgrims to the city, also allowing Monks to travel along the Silk Road to spread their beliefs. Each cave would have been built with an intensely religious ritual, involving prayers, incense, rituals and fasting. The caves not only highlight the religious importance of Dunhuang city, but also its significance as the centre of culture and a commercial hub. 

    Despite being largely populated by a Buddhist population and monks, the scrolls at Dunhuang also collected various texts including that of Jewish, Christian and even Taoist manuscripts. This also highlights how the various traditions had coexisted in harmony at this bustling city, indicating how the community was not only international but also accepting of different religious backgrounds and cultures from all around the world, a true cosmopolitan of its time. If you would like to dive deep into the driving force that shaped Eurasia as it is, there is no better place to come. 

     

    Crescent Moon Lake

    Singing Sand Dunes

    Just a few kilometres south of Dunhuang is the Singing Sands Dune, also known as “Mingsha”  (a Chinese name for “singing sands”) because of the sonorous sounds made when the wind whistles through the sand. Visit this dune that’s sheer scale can show how nature never ceases to awe even the most seasoned traveller. Don’t be afraid to get a little sand in your shoes and trek around to visit the famous Crescent Moon Lake, which is a true sight to marvel at. A pure spring water lake surrounded by high mountains, a rare sight in such an arid climate with dunes all around. If you don’t want to travel on foot, consider getting on a buggy or riding a camel through the dunes to feel what it was like to be travelling through bellows of yellow sand. 

    In the old days, caravans travelled through the dunes along the Silk Road to Eurasian cities for trade, the sound of the breeze through the dunes creating a wondrous tone mingled with the jingle of camel bells. Now you can trek upon their tracks that have faded in the sand, and enjoy the beautiful waves made by winds against the grain against a stark blue sky, as if transcending through time to hear what their ancestors before them have heard before.

     

    Yadan National Geological Park

    Yadan National Park

    A Geopark of enormous size, the Yadan National Park is in the northwest of Dunhuang. One of the largest of Yadan Landform found so far, it spans across about 398 square kilometres and features a unique and wonderful scene of the Gobi Desert landscape. Mainly formed by wind erosion, the landforms here are akin to some of the world’s most famous architecture, only that it’s carved by nature. Find a “Sphinx” or an Arabian “Mosque” next to an array of animal-like figures, in the Yadan National Park, your imagination is part of the landscape. Referred to as the Yadan Abode of Demons by some locals, these strangely shaped landscapes are almost like a medieval city. 

     

    Fangpan Castle Ruins at Yumen Pass

    Yumen Pass

    Built during the Han Dynasty, it is one of the two passes along Dunhuang that connects the Silk Road to its northern routes. One of the best-preserved passes, it is also a UNESCO site that was named “Yumen” for the frequent import of jades from the West. It has witnessed a great many historical events such as generals fighting against foreign armies, banished poets, and a great many travellers who sought fortune and prosperity with trading along the Silk Road. Here you can also catch a glimpse of the Great Wall from the Han Dynasty.

     

    Dunhuang may not be the first place you have in mind for a travel destination, but to understand the various cultures that have shaped the world as we know it, Dunhuang is the place to be. Be intrigued and leap back in time to where this bustling city made history and influenced both East and West with its charm.

  • Top potential destinations for Singapore vaccinated travellers from September 2021

    Is that the light at the end of the tunnel we see? The Singapore government recently revealed it might reopen borders for fully vaccinated persons travelling to specific countries from September, without a 14-day stay home notice (SHN) upon return.

    While the travel list is anyone’s guess, our team has been staying in touch with our overseas travel partners on the latest happenings on the ground and we are ready to provide a hassle-free travel experience for you, so that your first overseas vacation in over a year (well, for most of us anyway!) can be a safe and memorable one. Here are a few handpicked potential destinations with a direct flight from Singapore, and do not require fully vaccinated Singaporeans to quarantine as of the time of writing. What are your selections?

     

    UAE Desert

    United Arab Emirates

    Roughly the size of Austria, the charm of the UAE lies in the intriguing contrasts between the seven emirates that makes up the entire nation. October is a perfect time to enjoy the pristine beaches whereas November has a drier and cooler climate, better suited for sightseeing in the sun-scorched region. Travel in peace as almost 70% of the population are fully vaccinated.

     

    Denmark Copenhagen

    Denmark

    Nothing beats an authentic hygge journey in the new normal. Embrace the signature Danish happiness through jaunting across lovely harbours in Copenhagen, the charming town and birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson Odense, or the breath-taking scenery on the Faroes Islands in the Fall.

     

    Channel in Amsterdam Netherlands houses river Amstel landmark old european city spring landscape.

    Netherlands

    Forget the packed and stuffy mass transit railway. Get on a bike, hop on a canal boat to journey through this nautical nation. Voyage beyond the lovely capital of Amsterdam to explore the serene and rustic Dutch countryside and see the Dutch moorlands in the full bloom from the beginning of September.

     

    Switzerland

    Switzerland

    Journey through the idyllic lakes and picturesque alpine of Switzerland when the air is crisp and cool in Autumn. Experience the seasonal chestnut picking in the forests and attend the grape harvest festival to savour the beloved Swiss wine, of which only 2 percent is exported.

     

    Germany Neuschwanstein Castle

    Germany

    Autumn is the best season to experience the best of Germany without the summer crowd while enjoying a more consistent and comparatively better weather than spring. Celebrate your freedom to roam aimlessly and get lost in historic town with stunning architecture and be awed by the majestic castles such as Neuschwanstein.

     

    Maldives

    Maldives

    Long stretches of white-sand beaches with swaying palm trees awaits you at the island nation of Maldives. Despite a year-round destination, we highly recommend travelling in October for an amiable weather with reasonable price. Pick the most luxurious resort to your liking and dive into the turquoise Indian Ocean from your private pool villa.

     

    Thailand Phuket

    Thailand

    Phuket, which has a higher vaccination rate than the rest of the country*, is the major destination of Thailand’s sandbox program. The latest updates of “sandbox” reduces the mandatory stay in Phuket to seven days, that allows you to extend your voyage on the “Sealed Routes” to five other provinces Krabi, Phang-nga, Samui in August and Chiang Mai and Lamphun in October.

    *It is reported that as of July 11, 85% of the population in Phuket was partially vaccinated and 67% had received both doses, far exceeding Thailand’s average of 13% of the population having received the first dose and a mere 5% fully vaccinated.

     

    Even as we see borders restrictions relaxing, what we have learnt in the past year is that the situation on the ground can be very fluid and regulations could change at a moment’s notice. Your safety and well-being are of our upmost concerns, and with our extensive networks on the ground, we are here to look after all aspects of your journey to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience. We will be delighted to help and be ready when borders reopen.

  • Not By Air, Not By Land, Just By Cruise: 6 Exquisite Cruise Trips that you can take

    Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit. The world is 70% water, and there are few better ways to explore it than by commencing on the voyage of a lifetime with a pampering, luxury cruise. Avoid the hassle of moving your luggages from suite to suite while enjoying the best service and hospitality by a 5-star crew. Hop from destination to destination in comfort and style as the immersive cruise experience is designed to get you the most out of your journey. Customise where you would like to go or mix-and-match itineraries with full privacy and indulge in gourmet meals and exquisite spas aboard. Ready for a journey that’s going to make a lasting impression? Let’s have a look at our top picks:

     

    Zodiac in King George river, Kimberley

    13 Days Silversea Kimberly Expedition

    1. Kimberley, Western Australia – the lesser-known beauty of the Outback

    This is one of our favourite expeditions which opens the doors to the stunning, wild coast of the remote Kimberley region in northwest Australia that is impractical to reach by land. Cruise through magnificent gorges, getting up close to breath-taking waterfalls, and spot the wildlife of the outback as you sail in comfort (and usually in style) between the highlights of the region. A myriad of experiences await, from the famous Horizontal Falls, to treks into caves to learn about aboriginal rock art that are thousands of years old, and the unique tidal ranges that span several metres in height which engulfs and exposes Montgomery Reef.

     

    9 Days Galapagos Luxury Cruise

    2. Galapagos Islands – the paradise for ecology lover

    Beautiful and serene, Galapagos is a must-go destination for those who crave nature’s best gems like white sand beaches and immensely diverse wildlife. A year-round destination, don’t worry about taking boats between islands as the cruise ship is now your temporary home-away-from-home, reaching even the most remote and spectacular islands that are not accessible if you opt for the land-based tours. Wake up to another magnificent location and utilise the whole day to explore both land and sea in the most pristine ecosystems on Earth. Some locations are so far-flung (and also closer to some active volcanoes) that it has completely avoided human existence over the millennia. Experience wildlife here by snorkelling or swimming with penguins and other amazing marine animals, and simply hop back on for a good night’s rest.

     

    Tonga
    Eueiki Island in Tonga

    3. French Polynesia – the exotic exploration of island cultures

    French Polynesia is truly a paradise on earth. Bora Bora is one of the territories’ top draw, a unique destination with an infusion of different cultures from France, Japan, and the USA. Its name, ‘Created by the Gods’ in ancient Tahitian, can be representative of the region, lush islands fringed by white powdery sand beaches, with crystal clear turquoise water that’s rich in marine life and you can swim with the manta rays. Experience the rich Tahitian culture and traditional ceremonies that feature symbolic and beautiful costumes, and explore ancient sacrificial sites with intricately carved statues and heads. These are far-flung destinations accessible by multiple plane journeys, but why not avoid the hassle and enjoy this South Pacific paradise on one cruise journey instead?

     

    Bear, Sea of Okhotsk, Zavyalova Island, Russia

    Brown Bear in Russia

    4. The Russian Far East – one of the planet’s least explored destinations

    Literally a world apart from the typical Russian traditions and landmarks like the Kremlin in Moscow, the Russian Far East could not be more contrasting. This wild region is nine hours ahead of the capital, in a geologically active section of the Pacific Ocean where the vast wilderness, snow-capped volcanoes and remote islands await. Spectacular wildlife can be spotted, ranging from Kamchatka Brown Bears, rocky nests of sea lions and diverse seabirds as well as whales. Open your eyes to the cultures and history of the people living in Soviet outposts and learn about their traditions that could not be far more different than what we may understand as Russian.

     

    A group of King Penguins in South Georgia.
    Antarctica Cruise Journeys

    5. Antarctica expedition – exploration to the world of extremes

    The best way to explore Antarctica is by ship. Don’t sacrifice comfort and well-being for adventure when you can do both with an expedition cruise to Antarctica. Sail through the treeless islands and ice-cold waters on a cruise that is equipped with the right hardware and hospitality to make the most of your  trip. Visit the penguins and marine animals in a safe yet intimate environment. Enjoy the massive white mountains that almost gleam in the sunlight, make your way around countless glaciers that dot the jagged landscape and cruise through scenic passages like the Lemaire Channel. Visit the unreachable with professional expedition crew that are here to guide you through the constantly changing sea of ice.

     

    Prince Christian Sound with small cruise shipPrince Christian Sound in Greenland with cruise ship

    6. Iceland and Greenland – the duo of natural wonders

    Get ready to be enchanted by the rough, unusual yet charming terrain of Iceland on a cruise ship to reveal the diverse array of natural wonders accessible by boat. Cruise into the past by checking out the archaeological ruins that date back to the 10th century. If you feel like it, why not hop off and dip yourself into the warm thermal waters and indulge in mud masks and massages?  Sail across the sea to also visit Greenland, the world’s largest island for a journey steeped in Viking traditions and volcanic landscape that isn’t available anywhere else in the world. Teeming in Nordic history, this transatlantic cruise will take you on an adventure that is perfect for experiencing the most authentic.

     

    A cruise sailing certainly has its advantage over a land itinerary – a hassle-free experience to remote places without sacrificing on comfort and service – akin to a floating hotel with luxury spaces, premium amenities and first class hospitality, and only unpacking your suitcase once! To find out more about your ideal cruise, get in touch with Intriq Journey.

  • Experience the road less taken: Dusty, Pink, and Wild side of off-the-beaten Australia

    Although Australia is well-known for their beautiful beaches and lovely natural wonders, there’s more to discover than just skimming the top with famous locations like Bondi Beach, Ayers Rock, and the Great Barrier. If you’re up for taking the road less trodden, explore the hidden gems that Australia has to offer with these hand-picked locations, bespoke and tailored to give you the best in-depth experience.

     

    Ningaloo Coast

    A small resort town outside of the town of Exmouth that’s perfect to combine with a Kimberley Cruise, Ningaloo is blessed with Australia’s largest fringing reef surrounded by white sandy beaches, a must-go destination for avid snorkelers and divers alike. Amazing coral species, colourful tropical fish and even the migratory whale sharks, the reef is a bundle of exotic and unique marine life. Visit mid-March to late July if you are interested in swimming alongside the whale sharks as they make their way home on their migratory journey, while August to November is one of the best times for spotting Manta Rays, dugongs, and turtles in their natural habitat. Be one with nature as we respectfully visit their breeding grounds and home.

    Karijini National Park

    At the heart of Western Australia, this 2 billion-year-old park spans 6,274 square km of land and is the second-largest park in Australia. The plateau is surrounded by breathtaking gorges, watercourses, and endless dusty plains. With gorgeous scenery and jaw-dropping geological formations all-in-one, you can spend hours on end simply navigating the region. Swim at the freshwater spring pools near Fortescue Falls, hike up Mount Bruce or take picturesque photos at the Oxer Lookouts for the full experience. The landscape itself has been eroded and painted by the brush of nature for over 2,500 million years. Truly mind-boggling and humbling.

    Small waterfall in the Hancock Gorge, Karijini NP

     

    80-Mile Beach

    The 80-mile Beach is a glorious stretch of beach south of Broome with fine white sand that seems to extend to the water edge, slowly merge with scattered seashells and eventually meet the rocky shores and grass meadows of land. Swim in turquoise water and take stunning panoramic photos. If you are a nature-lover, this beach is excellent for camping, beachcombing, bird-watching and watching the sun sink into the sea over golden sand. The beach is also important breeding grounds for the flatback turtles that are native to only Northern Australia.

    80 mile beach

     

    Bamurru Plains

    A luxury lodge on the top end of Australia, the Bamurru Plains offers refined hospitality with strong sustainability ethos amidst its unbeatable location with abundant wildlife and extraordinary views. The area is home to one of the largest crocodile populations in the world, and the annual migration of over one hundred thousand magpie geese is a sight to be seen. With exclusive access to over 300km of land on the edge of Kakadu National Park, glided through crocodile-infested floodplains in the safety of an airboat with your private guide, or cruise the Sampan river to watch fish leap from the water like silver flashes of lightning. If you fancy a more immersive experience, take a guided walk or a game drive in savanna woodlands and get up close and personal with buffalos, dingoes, and even witness the migration of hundreds of birds take flight around an infinity pool.

    Water Buffalos at Bamurru Plains Lodge

     

    Hutt Lagoon

    You may have seen blue lagoons from all over the world, but have you seen a bubblegum-pink lagoon before? Hutt Lagoon is a sight to behold, the high salinity of the lagoon gives it its unusual hue, juxtaposed right next to a deep blue Indian Ocean, the stark contrast is one of the reasons the lagoon is a great place to watch the sunset. Sit down and enjoy the colours of the lagoon change as the sun slowly drops into the sea. If you’re up for it, get a scenic view when flying in by plane. Visit the small town of Port Gregory for some refreshments for your overnight stay, take your time to take in these beautiful views. Come between July and September to see wildflowers and flora flourish.

    Hutt Lagoon

     

    Litchfield National Park

    Located just two hours away from Darwin, Litchfield National Park is home to myriad of cascading waterfalls and freshwater plunge pools. Whilst more compact and less visited than its famous counterpart Kakadu National Park, this serene national park does not come up short on natural wonders and experiences, from challenging 4WD tracks, picturesque treks of varying difficulty, or scenic helicopter flights. Be in awe when admiring the towering termite mounds that span across 17km of territory in Litchfield, and join an indigenous tour for a chance to appreciate the aboriginal history and culture in this region.
