Am I living in the reality? Yes, or No?
Kuang Si Falls, located in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR
“Have you not seen that the waters of the Yellow River come from upon Heaven, surging into the ocean, never to return again;”
From Translation of Li Bai, Bring in the Wine
Although the poem above was describing the yellow river in China, I found its home in a authentic country in Southeast Asia. The breathtaking scene reminded me of the poem I read 6 years ago. I couldn’t imagine myself seeing the world depicted by a dreamy poet like Li Bai.
Unlike the waterfall I saw, Kuang Si fall is surrounded by mountains and the beautiful animals in the area. There are bears (but they were sleeping😴 most of the time), snake and squirrel everywhere. You will never be alone, even if you are a solo traveler.
Apart from the waterfall that catches everyone’s attention, a small lake nestled in the foliage is another must-visit spot. The sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a beautiful scene with patches of light hopping on the earthly surface of the rushing water.
Visitors can jump into the lake and feel the coolness of the water.
Unfortunately, even though I wasn’t at work👩💻, I still couldn’t stop worrying the process of my work and preparation for the grant even that was happening very soon.
“While my companion was soaking his legs 🦵 in the cool, crisp water, I found myself worrying about the deadline for my photo book. What a fool I was!”
Maybe I still have to learn about work-life balance.
Hope everyone can come and visit this amazing waterfall. I can guarantee you will not regret about it. 😁
