    Had an amazing day exploring Johor Zoo! A hidden gem in the heart of Johor Bahru — perfect for families, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a fun, budget-friendly outing. The animals were lively, the environment was clean, and the staff were super friendly. Loved seeing the majestic tigers, playful monkeys, and colorful birds up close. It’s not the biggest zoo, but it definitely has heart.Great place to reconnect with nature and create memories.Highly recommend checking it out if you’re near.

    Last year, I was visted Johor Ancient Temple, located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It is dedicated to five deities worshipped by different Chinese dialect groups, symbolizing unity. The temple’s red-and-white architecture stands out amid modern skyscrapers, offering a glimpse into the city’s heritage.In my opinion, its peaceful atmosphere, intricate carvings, and annual Chingay Parade. However, some find it small and crowded during festivals.Overall, it’s a must-visit for history and cultur

    legoland sealife is a great experience especially if you have kids with you. They have lots of different sea life marine species and have loads of hands on experience for everyone.The sealife park is together with the legoland park, like a all in one fun. Also, if you think 1 day isn't enough? Book a hotel at legoland and spend the weekend there too!
