On July 6th, the annual event "Penghu International Maritime Fireworks Festival" has started at Penghu, a remote island in Taiwan.
It is held every year from April to June, but this year it was held from July to September due to the influence of the coronavirus.
A gorgeous fireworks and drone show makes the night sky of Penghu beautifully shine.
There is also a local tour where you can enjoy a fireworks display from the sea on a sightseeing boat,
It seems that you can see the fireworks and the Rainbow Bridge that is the venue most beautifully.

About 30 minutes by car from Kota Kinabalu to Babagon Village. It has a beautiful river and is a popular spot locally. You can see the fish swimming with the naked eye.
There were many families coming to the river with a BBQ set from 8am. Due to the effects of corona, there are many places in Kota Kinabalu where the game center for children's playgrounds and playground equipment in parks cannot be used because tape is still attached, and children are also stressed. So I wonder if more and more families are enjoying their weekends in nature.
Let's do our best this week.

A number of view spots in New York City.
This time, we will introduce Long Island City (Queens Ward), which can be accessed by subway and is easily accessible from the station!
Although it is not so popular as a tourist spot, this area has been rapidly gaining popularity as a residential area that has undergone redevelopment in recent years. Known as LIC (Long Island City), the boardwalk, which offers a superb view of the buildings of Manhattan and Midtown on the opposite bank, is a recommended view spot.
The boardwalk along the river is connected to a city park called Hunters Point South Park, and you can enjoy various things such as benches, playground equipment and a small beach (populated sandy beach).

At present, outdoor leisure is a must, and many people enjoy their own way even in hot weather. People who lie on the bench and rest, people who jog, people who play beach volleyball, etc.
Meanwhile, the blue sky gym in the field? Discover what is!
It seems that the people who have been training in the gym are gathering because the indoor gym is closed. Dumbbells, squats, kickboxing, push-ups... I found a New Yorker who was able to move physically according to the instructor's instructions. The sunlight is strong and the weather is hot on a midsummer day... It was hot, but it may be a luxury in a sense, outdoor training with a view of Manhattan! ?

Why not visit as a leisure spot during the day as well as a view spot after morning and evening.

The nearest station is "Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue Station" on Subway Line 7. About 6-7 minutes walk from the station to Hunters Point South Park.
There is also a NYC ferry ($2,75-) stop along the boardwalk. It takes time to travel between Queens and Brooklyn if you use the subway, but if you use a ferry, you can enjoy time and effort, as well as the feeling of sightseeing. You can enjoy the movement of the East River while cutting the wind on board.
