Trang An by GabLabCebu

Trang An (Inscribed)

Trang An

Trang An, just two hours out of Hanoi, seems a world away from it. I was equally excited to visit Trang An as I was Ha Long Bay when I …

Thang Long by GabLabCebu

Thang Long (Inscribed)

Thang Long

Thang Long is surely far from being the most popular WHS here. As I planned my January 2025 trip to northern Vietnam, I fully expected it to be close to …

Dinosaur Provincial Park by GabLabCebu

Dinosaur Provincial Park (Inscribed)

Dinosaur Provincial Park

Dinosaurs have been an interest of mine since childhood. Little me would memorize every single species I could find in the books and their family, size, and modern-day locality. But …

Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai’pi (Inscribed)

Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai’pi

I guess this may just be the perspective of someone who was unable to go on a guided tour here (due to scheduling, so try to be here in the …

Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks by GabLabCebu

Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks (Inscribed)

Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks

In July 2024, I took 5 days to experience the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks. Travel by car is definitely the optimal way to get around here, with many excursions on …

Kitanglad and Kalatungan Mountain Ranges

I listed the Kitanglad Range under my proposed WHS years ago, and to my surprise, it has now come up on the tentative list. I visited back in February 2019 …

Wanuskewin by GabLabCebu

Wanuskewin (Nominated)

Wanuskewin

Wanuskewin is not the kind of place you simply stumble into; it's a site one would usually have to make quite a journey for. Most definitely, it once drew Native …

Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple by GabLabCebu

Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa… (Inscribed)

Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple

With many recent mixed reviews on this site, I wasn't sure what to expect of Seokguram and Bulguksa. All I knew was that I had to include them on my …

Sansa, Buddhist Mountain Monasteries by GabLabCebu

Sansa, Buddhist Mountain Mona… (Inscribed)

Sansa, Buddhist Mountain Monasteries

To me, the Sansa embody the ideal and typical Korean temple. They may not have the historic significance of Bulguksa or the unique library of Haeinsa, but they are much …

Preah Vihear Temple by GabLabCebu

Preah Vihear Temple (Inscribed)

Preah Vihear Temple

Seeing most photos of Preah Vihear with the clear blue skies, I can't help but wonder if my January 2023 experience visiting this great site might have felt different if …

Gyeongju by GabLabCebu

Gyeongju (Inscribed)

Gyeongju

The Korean nation has been unified by just three powers in its history, the Silla in Gyeongju, the Koryeo in Kaesong, and the Joseon in Seoul. For that, these are …

Sambor Prei Kuk by GabLabCebu

Sambor Prei Kuk (Inscribed)

Sambor Prei Kuk

As the capital of the Chenla Empire, Ancient Ishanapura is one of the greatest and most influential ancient cities in Southeast Asia. Today, it, along with all of Cambodia's other …

Cambodian Memorial Sites by GabLabCebu

Cambodian Memorial Sites (Nominated)

Cambodian Memorial Sites

It's not often that a major city, especially a national capital, has genocide memorials as its most famous and important tourist attraction, but for all Phnom Penh has to offer, …

Phnom Kulen by GabLabCebu

Phnom Kulen (On tentative list)

Phnom Kulen

Phnom Kulen was never on my plans for my trip to Cambodia in January 2023. All that I'd known about it was that there was a mini-version of Kbal Spean, …

Namhansanseong by GabLabCebu

Namhansanseong (Inscribed)

Namhansanseong

Despite the low number of reviews, I would say Namhansanseong is covered pretty well by its earlier visitors, and I don't have all that much to add. In June 2023, …

Gochang, Hwasun, and Ganghwa Dolmen by GabLabCebu

Gochang, Hwasun, and Ganghwa … (Inscribed)

Gochang, Hwasun, and Ganghwa Dolmen

Dolmens have always interested me, at least ever since I found out about them. In fact, I first encountered them on the List, reading about the newly inscribed Antequera Dolmens …

Hahoe and Yangdong by GabLabCebu

Hahoe and Yangdong (Inscribed)

Hahoe and Yangdong

Hahoe and Yangdong are known and advertised as villages with a lot to them - they're clan villages that have been perfectly preserved to demonstrate rural life over 5 centuries …

Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats by GabLabCebu

Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats (Inscribed)

Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats

Here to give the Getbol its first review on this site since inscription, I've included it on my June 2023 trip to Korea. I originally did not think much of …

Seowon, Neo-Confucian Academies by GabLabCebu

Seowon, Neo-Confucian Academi… (Inscribed)

Seowon, Neo-Confucian Academies

Going into my June 2023 trip to Korea, I definitely had in mind the prospect of checking out each of the 15 mainland World Heritage Sites (including Gaya Tumuli, which …

Baekje Historic Areas (Inscribed)

Baekje Historic Areas

On a sunny June day in 2023, I arrived at Iksan station (conveniently right next to the intercity bus station) to see the Mireuksa Temple Site. All you have to …
