The imposing outer walls of San Wai, a walled vill The imposing outer walls of San Wai, a walled village in Lung Yuek Tau which was founded in 1744. The houses within have all since been rebuilt to modern standards with electricity and plumbing, but the village still retains its original layout. 
.
A central lane leads from the gatehouse to a communal shrine on the rear wall. The houses on either side are tightly packed into narrow alleys but along the inner walls at the back and sides, there is still room for trees, garden areas and small vegetable plots. The moat, which once surrounded the village, has since been filled in to create space for villagers to park their cars.

One of Java's best known attractions, Mt Bromo, is nearby but most people just come to see the sunrise over the crater and leave again before breakfast. But it is a great place to chill out in the cool mountain air for a few days.

Ruishi Lou towers over the village of Jinjiangli a Ruishi Lou towers over the village of Jinjiangli about 12 kilometres southwest of Chikan town, Kaiping in southern China. The towers, collectively known as diaolou, were built mostly during the late 19th and early 20th century, though there are a few that date back as far as the 16th.
.
The older diaolou were built specifically as watchtowers to guard against invading bandits and to give refuge during floods. The more recent ones still served that function but also served as family homes. These were built by returning emigrants who had made their fortunes in other parts of the world. The designs reflected the newly acquired cosmopolitan tastes of their owners combined with traditional Chinese elements.
.
Ruishi was built in 1926 by Huang Bixiu, a villager who had left and made his fortune in Hong Kong as a merchant. It has nine floors each with it's own living space kitchen and bedrooms.
.
The Jinjiangli village and it's diaolou along with several other clusters in the region were made UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2007

One of the oldest and largest temples dedicated to Tin Hau. It was built in 1266 by two brothers who were salt traders from Fujian province. One day their boat was caught in storms and as they were swept overboard they appealed to Tin Hau for help. To show their gratitude they built the temple on the spot where they came safely to land.

The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi was originally b The Trấn Quốc Pagoda in Hanoi was originally built between 544-548 CE during the reign of Emperor Lý Nam Đế on the banks of the Yellow River. It was moved to Hồ Tây (West Lake) in 1615, due to erosion on the river bank, and underwent major renovations again in 1815.

The pagoda forms part of the Trấn Quốc Temple which holds the ashes of venerable monks.

A hefty strand of spider silk stretched across the A hefty strand of spider silk stretched across the footpath slammed into my face as I set off on my walk this morning. A reminder that Summer is just around the corner and that soon the trees in my neck of the woods will be festooned with nephila pelipes or golden orb weavers. Their name comes from the yellow sheen on the webs of mature spiders.
.
They are quite majestic beasts but for those unfamiliar, they are the stuff of nightmares. Fully grown the body is about the size of my thumb with a leg span a little wider than my outstretched hand. The webs are commonly about a metre across, though I have seen some that were easily 1.5 metres, and are spun from some of the strongest silk known. Though they do look very pretty when caught in the sunlight. Multiple spinnerets at the blunt end of the spider mean they are quite capable of making spider rope and they are also able adjust the composition of the silk according to their environment. 
.
These huge spiders are always female. The males are a rusty brown color and little bigger than a fingernail. They hang about on the edges of the web waiting, presumably until she has a meal large enough to hold her attention so that he can dart in, do the business and retreat without becoming a light snack himself. I’ve read that a bite can be quite painful but the venom itself is not considered dangerous. I have no plans to put it to the test.

There are a couple of seafood restaurants and a temple dedicated to Hung Shing Tai Wong. The temple is believed to have been built around 1663. Parts of the movie, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, were apparently filmed here. I never saw the movie so I couldn't tell you which parts.

There is not too much at the western end of Lantau There is not too much at the western end of Lantau save for mountains, forests and monasteries. This one is dedicated to Kwun Yum, the goddess of mercy, or Guanyin as she is known outside of Hong Kong. The monastery itself dates back more than a hundred years though the impressive red buildings were added in 1992. From the terrace, which is the flat roof of the earlier buildings, there is a spectacular view across the surrounding mountains
