Welcome to Colours
Welcome on board! Our travel itinerary this month kicks off in
the dreamlike landscapes of Guilin in China’s southwest. Here
mythical emerald humped hills, dotted with long spindly trees,
seemingly rise from the Li River, creating an improbable backdrop
straight from the scrolls of ancient Chinese tales. Even more
natural inspiration can be found on the world’s fourth-largest
jungle island: Sumatra. Halfway along its verdantly forested
length (yet within a stone’s throw of Padang city), we pay a visit to
Rimba Ecolodge, a unique sustainable tourism initiative working
to tackle regional problems on a local level. In style. Elsewhere in
Indonesia's archipelago, we make a diver’s pilgrimage to Wakatobi,
a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of the Coral Triangle.
On the last leg of our adventures this month we fly long-haul to
Europe to explore Copenhagen, one of the world’s happiest cities
according to numerous international surveys. The good news
is we’re pretty sure you can acquire a touch of that well-being just
holidaying there.
Selamat datang dalam penerbangan kami! Jadwal perjalan an
kami bulan ini diawali dengan menikmati keindahan panorama
alam, bak negeri khayalan, di Guilin, sebelah barat daya Tiongkok.
Lanskap yang berbukit dengan pepohonan yang tinggi ramping,
bak muncul begitu saja dari Li River, tampak seperti suasana pada
dongeng-dongeng Tiongkok kuno. Keindahan pesona alam juga
dapat dijelajahi lebih jauh lagi pada hutan terbesar keempat di
dunia, Sumatera. Di tengah hutan nan rimbun (dan tak jauh dari
Kota Padang), kami mengunjungi Rimba Ecolodge, sebuah bentuk
pariwisata ekologi yang mencoba mengatasi permasalahan di
tingkat lokal. Dengan manis. Sementara di sudut Nusantara
lainnya, kami mencoba menyelam di Wakatobi, Situs Warisan
Dunia UNESCO di tengah Segitiga Terumbu Karang.
Persinggahan terakhir kami dalam petualangan di bulan ini adalah
Eropa, di mana kami menempuh penerbangan yang cukup panjang
untuk mencapai Copenhagen, salah satu kota paling berbahagia
menurut survei internasional. Kami yakin, Anda pun bisa ikut
merasa berbahagia hanya dengan berlibur ke sana.
