The Venice of Southeast Asia: Kampong Ayer๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ณ

[Trip Moment Delivery.๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ] Let's go to Kampong Ayer, the Venice of the East for this trip!!โœˆ๏ธ ๐Ÿ›„ใ…ฃKampong Ayer๐Ÿก If I had to pick the most memorable place while traveling in Brunei, it would definitely be Kampong Ayer. This is the world's largest floating village, and its name means 'village on water'. At first, I thought it would be just a tourist attraction with a few traditional floating houses, but when I actually went there, it was a much wider and more unique village than I had imagined!!๐Ÿ˜ I took a water taxi on the river to go to the village, and the wind on the small boat moving quickly was really cool and refreshing. The floating houses on both sides were built on wooden pillars, and the way they swayed slightly in the waves was very impressive. It felt like a small city floating on water.๐Ÿ›ฅ I couldn't hide my surprise as soon as I arrived at the village. There were many more houses than I thought, and it was a โ€˜real villageโ€™ with a school, hospital, shops, and even a mosque. People were born here, lived here, and educated their children here, just like in a normal city. I walked around the village on a narrow wooden bridge and looked around. Children were playing and running on the bridge, and the elderly were leisurely drinking tea on the shaded veranda. It was really nice to be able to experience the life of this village for a moment from the perspective of a local, not a tourist. ๐Ÿ‘ What was particularly impressive was that this traditional lifestyle is still well maintained in modern society. The Brunei government has also established infrastructure to protect and support this village. It has electricity, water, and even internet, so I was able to see the coexistence of tradition and modernity. As I walked in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, I felt like time was passing slowly. It was a very special experience for me, who was used to busy city life!!โœŒ๏ธ Kampong Ayer was not just a tourist destination, but a place where a long history and lifestyle are still alive and breathing. It was a very precious place that allowed me to truly understand the culture and people of Brunei. If you are planning to travel to Brunei, I would confidently recommend this as a must-visit course~๐Ÿซ  ๐Ÿ“Œใ…ฃAddress: VWMV+3M4, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei #SoutheastAsiaTravel #Brunei #bruneitravel #brunei #BruneiTravel #kampongayer
