Arriving at Sayedabad Bus Terminal in Dhaka, I really felt what order in chaos is. As soon as I stepped off the bus, I saw a busy scene in front of me, with buses parked everywhere, whistles blaring one after another, and the air was mixed with the smell of diesel and dust. It was completely different from the clean and bright environment of Taipei Transfer Station, with clear signs and information counters. There is no electronic timetable or unified ticket window here, only small counters and waiting areas set up by each bus company. I already knew that this kind of place cannot be played by the rules. So I was not surprised at all, but felt that this chaos itself was part of the journey. There is no fixed departure time here. The driver will wait until the seats are full and the tickets are sold out before leaving. There is no broadcast to call the number, and it all depends on the tacit understanding of the locals. The journey took about three hours. From departure to arrival, the driver was like a racer, stepping on the accelerator to the bottom and honking the horn to the blast. The whole journey was like a life-or-death situation. The horns never stopped. My eardrums wanted to give up several times. There was no air conditioning on the bus, only a few shaky small electric fans. At that time, I had to keep hypnotizing myself: this is a very rhythmic Bangladeshi music. The driver often went against the flow and overtook on the way. Every time he suddenly changed lanes, I wondered if I should buy insurance. Although I was really afraid of accidents, fortunately I arrived safely in the end. It was also a special experience that will be unforgettable.

In Bangladesh, where the economic level is very different, there are actually many high-end five-star hotels designed for business travelers. We chose to stay at Grand Palace Hotel & Resorts Dhaka this time. As soon as we entered the hotel, we first went through a strict security check procedure. After confirming that we were not carrying any dangerous items, we entered the high-ceiling lobby. The security guards on site kindly received us and guided us upstairs to check in. They also took us to visit the hotel facilities. This kind of service really made us feel at home. The room itself is not big, but it is complete overall. Whether it is the comfort of the bed, the cleanliness of the bathroom or the sound insulation effect, it is very satisfactory. What surprised us the most was that we were the only guests in the hotel that night. The whole floor was quiet, as if we had reserved the place. The feeling of enjoying the five-star treatment was super special. Although the outside was a bustling and chaotic city rhythm, walking in here was like switching to another parallel world. It is worth recommending to travelers who want to find a quiet space. 🔌 Useful information Name of the store｜Grand Palace Hotel & Resorts Dhaka Address｜Baridhara Diplomatic Zone, Dhaka, Bangladesh Time｜Check-in is available 24 hours a day, and reservations are recommended in advance #Dhaka Accommodation Recommendation #Bangladesh Five-Star Hotel #Luxury Travel Experience #Quiet Corner in Cultural Shock #Bangladesh Travel #Asian Secret Hotel #Five-Star Hotel Experience Notes #May Good Place 2025

After dinner in Dhaka, the evening temperature finally became more comfortable. We started looking for a place to relax and enjoy a cup of local tea. That’s when we discovered Jatra Biroti, a tea house that truly caught my attention. The interior is spacious, offering various seating areas, from cozy sofas to a small outdoor balcony. The atmosphere is warm with a touch of artsy vibes, making it perfect for chatting with friends or enjoying some quiet time alone. The highlight was their Bangladeshi milk tea—rich in tea aroma, with a hint of spices that linger pleasantly. After the first sip, I couldn’t resist asking if I could buy some tea leaves to take home. The place wasn’t crowded, the lighting was cozy, and we ended up staying for over an hour, not wanting to leave. 🔌 Useful Information Name | Jatra Biroti Address | House 60, Road 5/A, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh Hours | Open daily until around 11 PM

The high temperature in Bangladesh makes people doubt life as soon as they go out. We decided to rush into Mövenpick to cool down with a scoop of ice cream. As a result, we were dumbfounded when we saw the price. A scoop of ice cream starts at NT$100. Although it may not be expensive in Taiwan, if measured by the prices in Bangladesh, it is definitely a high-cost dessert. What's more surprising is that the scene is full of locals. Many families bring their children to enjoy this scoop of cold happiness on holidays, which shows that such enjoyment is not only a way to cool down for them, but also a luxurious sense of ritual. The hot afternoon also makes us re-recognize the other side of this city. 🔌 Useful information Store name｜Mövenpick Dhaka Gulshan Address｜Plot No. 11, Road No. 55, Gulshan-2, Dhaka, Bangladesh #Bangladesh Travel #Daily in Dhaka #Gulshan Ice Cream #Mövenpick Food #Must-see for Ice Cream Lovers #High Temperature Food Redemption #Bangladesh Desserts #Observation of Exotic Prices #Daily in Rich Areas #Taste Surprises During Travel #Good Places in May 2025 #Travel Diary in June

After eating local food for several days in Dhaka, I really want to change my taste. It was around 9pm that night, and many shops on the street were closed. I accidentally found this City Pizza, which was open until 11pm, and decided to give it a try. I didn't expect to feel the atmosphere was very warm as soon as I entered. The store was small but very clean. I ordered a freshly baked pizza. I originally just wanted to eat a quick meal, but I didn't expect the crust to be super elastic and moist, which really surprised me. Later, the boss and his brother came out to greet us warmly. After a few words, you can feel their dedication and pride in the store. If you can't find a place to eat in Dhaka at night, this one is definitely worth a try. It's not just about the taste, but also the human touch. 🔌 Useful information Store name｜City Pizza Address｜House # 180/6, 23/C Road # 14, Dhaka, Bangladesh You can navigate to Duranta Sports Gallery - Banasree C Block (You can see it next to this store) Time｜Open until 11pm every day #Dhaka Food #CityPizza #Bangladeshi Exotic Cuisine #Night Food Recommendations #Dhaka Pizza #Temperature of the trip #Late Night Canteen Dhaka Edition #Bangladeshi Brotherhood #Food Surprise #June Travel Notes #May Good Places 2025

Tickets at Lalbagh Fort in Dhaka show a stark difference in price between locals and foreigners, but the fort is more suited for leisurely strolls and relaxation rather than admiring grand architecture. When visiting Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, many tourists plan a trip to the historic Lalbagh Fort. The ticket prices highlight the disparity: locals pay only 200 Taka, while foreigners are charged 400 Taka. Entering the fort's grounds might remind you of India's Taj Mahal, but the overall scale and design are much simpler. What truly captivates visitors, however, is the expansive lawn filled with locals enjoying picnics, chatting, children running around, and adults engaging in lively conversations—an atmosphere brimming with everyday life. Although the fort may not be as grand or awe-inspiring as expected, it offers a genuine glimpse into Dhaka's daily life. A peaceful afternoon stroll here is well worth the visit. 🔌 Practical Information Historic Site｜Lalbagh Fort Address｜Lalbagh Rd, Dhaka 1211, Bangladesh Hours｜10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

I finally understand what the gap between the rich and the poor is The Westin Dhaka's restaurant environment is elegant, but the price is indeed high. For example, the breakfast buffet costs BDT 4050 per person (equivalent to about NT$1,200), which is already a very luxurious consumption for most residents of Bangladesh. Most of the people who can come here to eat are foreign tourists or local upper-middle-class people, which makes this place a microcosm of the social class gap It is already a level that ordinary families can hardly afford. No wonder there were almost no other guests in the entire restaurant when we had dinner that day But if you are a tourist, or want to experience high-quality service and a quiet and comfortable dining space, this is indeed a highly recommended choice. Each dish is beautifully presented Recommendation reasons: ① Located in the safest and most prosperous wealthy area in Dhaka, the environment is high-end and safe ② The atmosphere of the hotel restaurant is noble and elegant, but the price is acceptable to foreigners ③ The food is exquisite, with exotic and authentic elements, suitable for all tastes 🔌 Useful information Store name｜The Westin Dhaka Address｜Main Gulshan Avenue, Plot-01, Road 45, Gulshan 2, Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh Time｜Breakfast 6:30-10:30, lunch 12:30-15:30, dinner 18:30-22:30 #Must-eat in Dhaka #Five-star hotel experience #Gulshan high-end restaurant #Bangladesh travel #South Asia store exploration #Bangladesh travel #Dhaka food #TheWestinDhaka #Rich area exploration #Luxury breakfast experience #Exotic breakfast unboxing #Travel observation #Social gap documentary #High-end hotel unboxing #Surprises in travel #Overseas life diary #JuneTravelDiary #AsiaIn-depthTravel #UnboxingBangladesh #InternationalTravelerObservation #MayGoodDestinations2025

This time when we went to Bangladesh, we chose to take Bangladesh Airlines. We wanted to try the local airline experience. We didn't expect to feel the cultural difference as soon as we got on the plane! First of all, when we stepped into the cabin, we were really surprised - why was it not cold at all? Isn't it cold enough to wear a coat when taking an international flight? But Bangladesh Airlines was really hot, as if the plane didn't have air conditioning turned on. The whole cabin was so hot that I immediately sweated, but when I looked back, the passengers on the plane were actually used to it, sitting and chatting as if nothing had happened. I can only say that the people of Bangladesh are really heat-resistant! The model is relatively small and simple, and the overall equipment is not new, but the basic equipment is still available, such as pillows and cushions, and the seat spacing is barely acceptable. The attitude of the flight attendants is quite satisfactory, and the language is mainly Bengali and English. The meals are mainly local flavors, and the spices are heavier, but the taste is actually acceptable. If you are not usually averse to Asian spices, you should be used to it. The flight process was very smooth, without too much turbulence, and there was still a sense of security. This experience is really special. Not only the temperature of the plane impressed me, but also I felt the local culture. If you are an adventurous traveler, you might as well try Bangladesh Airlines; but if you are afraid of heat, remember to wear something cooler before boarding the plane, and don't expect air conditioning to help you cool down. 🔌 Useful information Airline｜Biman Bangladesh Airlines Route｜International routes from Dhaka #Bangladesh Airlines Experience #BimanAirlines Real Ride #Traveler Flight Diary #South Asia Airlines First Experience #Notes on Taking a Plane #Good Places in May 2025

We came to Paturi Restaurant in the wealthy area. We originally expected that the prices in the wealthy area would be high, but we didn't expect that this restaurant not only had a very comfortable environment, but also had very affordable prices. The overall style is warm and simple, with soft lighting and spacious seats, which is very suitable for sitting down to have a meal and chat. We ordered several local dishes, each of which retained the authentic flavor, especially the use of spices was just right, not too heavy. The most considerate thing is that you can pay by credit card here, so you don't have to worry about cash issues. It is very convenient for tourists who want to pay easily during their travels. Overall, it is a high-CP value restaurant with both texture and local flavor. Highly recommended! Recommended reasons: ① Located in the wealthy area of ​​Dhaka, convenient transportation, safe and comfortable environment ② Authentic Bangladeshi flavor, every dish is amazing ③ Affordable price, can also pay by credit card, super friendly to tourists 🔌 Useful information Store name｜Paturi Address｜Road 11, Banani, Dhaka 1213, Bangladesh Time｜12:00 noon to 10:30 pm #Dhaka Food #Banani Restaurant #Bangladesh Local Flavor #Travel Daily #Original Sharing #South Asia Exploration #May Travel Diary 2025#May Good Place 2025

#5月好去处2025 This return trip from Bangladesh gave me a new experience of the local airport process, and I wrote it down to remind you who are about to depart. At Dhaka International Airport in Bangladesh, you have to queue up to check your passport and boarding information before entering the airport gate, which is very different from the Taoyuan Airport we are familiar with. In other words, before entering the terminal, you have to go through a physical inspection, and everyone has to show their passports and flight information. On that day, we encountered a whole row of passengers queuing at an entrance and exit. In fact, there is more than one gate on site. If you find that the entrance is crowded, it is recommended to go around to another gate and try it. In many cases, it will be much faster! In addition, it is recommended that everyone arrive at the airport at least 3 hours in advance, otherwise you may be stuck at the first checkpoint before entering the airport. Unlike most international airports, you can drag your luggage and go through the procedures as soon as you enter the gate. There are manual inspections and security procedures at each checkpoint. The overall process is slower, and it is really safer to arrive a little earlier. Although the overall facilities are simple, Qatar Airways' transfer service is still very good. Remember to make good use of the rest space in the terminal, or walk around. The overall movement lines and indicators are clear. 🔌 Useful information Departure airport｜Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka, Bangladesh Transfer airport｜Hamad International Airport, Doha, Qatar #Bangladesh Airport Guide #Qatar Transfer Reminder #Traveler Test Notes #Different exit procedures should be noted #Travel Memo

#cheaptravel #attractive #cheaptravel #holidayinndhaka #budgetluxury #citystay #dhakatravel Holiday Inn Dhaka City Centre surprised me with how affordable and convenient it was for a short city getaway. I booked a one-night stay through an app promotion and paid just under 9,000 BDT — including breakfast, rooftop pool access, and free Wi-Fi. For a central location in Dhaka’s business district, it’s an excellent deal. The hotel is within walking distance of the National Museum, Ramna Park, and several cafés and local restaurants. The rooms were clean, quiet, and modern — and the rooftop pool area offered a peaceful escape from the busy city below. The breakfast buffet had a great mix of local and international dishes, which made the morning even better. Even if you’re not planning to stay overnight, the restaurant and lounge area are great for meetups or coffee. With smart booking and off-peak timing, you can enjoy four-star comfort in the heart of Dhaka without stretching your travel budget. Highly recommended for solo travelers, business trips, or couples looking for a safe and comfortable city stay!

Renaissance Dhaka Gulshan Hotel offers one of the most stylish stays in the city — and with a little planning, it can fit a smart traveler's budget too. I booked a deluxe room through an online deal and paid around 9,500 BDT, which included access to the rooftop infinity pool, breakfast buffet, and fitness center. The hotel is located in Gulshan 2, one of the safest and most convenient areas in Dhaka. From here, you can easily explore local cafés, parks, and shopping malls on foot or by short rickshaw rides. The room was modern, clean, and had a beautiful city view. The rooftop pool and bar area is a highlight — perfect for sunset photos and quiet relaxation. If you’re not planning to stay overnight, you can still enjoy a spa session, coffee at the lobby lounge, or a buffet meal — which makes it a great budget-luxury stop during a Dhaka trip. Keep an eye out for weekend packages or holiday offers, and you can enjoy five-star service without breaking the bank.

#cheaptravel #attractive #cheaptravel #intercontinentaldhaka #budgetluxury #travelbangladesh #smarttravel InterContinental Dhaka may be one of the top luxury hotels in the city, but with the right timing and smart planning, it's possible to experience five-star comfort without overspending. I booked a stay during a special weekend offer and paid under 9,000 BDT, which included a beautiful room, breakfast buffet, and access to the rooftop pool and gym. The location is central — near Ramna Park and Dhaka’s cultural spots — so I was able to explore nearby attractions on foot or with cheap rickshaw rides. The staff was welcoming, and the breakfast alone was worth the price — a huge variety with both local and international options. If you’re not planning an overnight stay, you can still visit the hotel’s café or enjoy a lunch buffet, which gives you a taste of luxury without the full cost. For budget travelers who want a special experience in Dhaka, InterContinental is a solid choice — just book early, look out for promos, and go during quieter seasons.

My day trip to Dhaka was fast-paced, colorful, and packed with local flavor — a perfect taste of Bangladesh’s vibrant capital! 🇧🇩 The morning began with a visit to the historic Lalbagh Fort, a 17th-century Mughal fortress that gave me a glimpse into the city’s rich past. The peaceful gardens and old architecture offered a moment of calm in the heart of the bustling city. 🏰 Next stop was Ahsan Manzil, the iconic pink palace along the Buriganga River. Walking through its museum gave me insight into the lavish lifestyle of Dhaka’s Nawabs and the colonial era. 🕌 Lunchtime meant diving into local flavors — I tried an authentic biriyani at a famous local restaurant (because what’s a trip to Dhaka without it?). 😋 In the afternoon, I explored the chaos and charm of New Market and Nilkhet — perfect spots for picking up unique books, clothes, and street snacks. I also squeezed in a quick boat ride on the Buriganga River, which offered a unique perspective of the city’s pulse.#travel#dhaka The day wrapped up with a sunset stroll around Hatirjheel Lake, where locals were out walking, jogging, and enjoying the breeze. A calm finish to an otherwise thrilling day. 🌇 Though just a short visit, Dhaka left a lasting impression — full of contrasts, energy, and stories waiting to be discovered.

Dhaka that captures the soul of its rich, colonial-era history, it's Ahsan Manzil. Known fondly as the Pink Palace, this architectural gem sits proudly on the banks of the Buriganga River, and my visit there was nothing short of magical. Walking into Ahsan Manzil felt like stepping back in time. The grandeur of its Indo-Saracenic architecture immediately grabs your attention, with its bubble-shaped domes, sweeping staircases, and of course, its signature pastel-pink façade. But it wasn’t just about how it looked — it was the feeling of walking where nawabs once ruled, where decisions were made that shaped the future of Bengal. Inside, the museum rooms are carefully curated to tell stories of Dhaka’s aristocracy. My personal favorite? The drawing room with its antique furniture, chandeliers, and portraits that gave a vivid glimpse into 19th-century elite life. As someone who loves history, it was incredible to see how Ahsan Manzil blended Mughal and European influences — not just in the architecture but in every piece of décor. The best time to visit, in my opinion, is during the winter months — November to February. The weather is pleasantly cool, and you can leisurely stroll the palace grounds without the sweltering summer heat. And make sure to visit on a weekday morning to avoid the local weekend crowds. Bonus tip: The location is near Sadarghat, so if you’re feeling adventurous, hop on a boat ride along the Buriganga afterward — it completes the experience! Ahsan Manzil isn’t just a tourist spot — it’s a living piece of Bangladesh’s heritage. Whether you're a history lover, a photographer, or simply curious, this place will leave a lasting impression.

Here, you can delve into the history, culture, and art of Bangladesh, making it an excellent place to explore the local past.🏛️ 4. University of Dhaka: The oldest university in Bangladesh, established in 1921 during British rule.

Stroll through the campus, soak in the academic atmosphere, and admire the historically significant buildings.🎓 5. Buriganga River: Although the river's hygiene needs improvement, it is the lifeline of Dhaka, witnessing the city's rise and fall. Take a ferry trip on the river, admire the scenery along the banks, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of Dhaka.🚢 3. Local Cuisine 1. Biryani: A beloved local dish, biryani is made with rice, spices, and meat (chicken, mutton, or beef). The aroma is enticing, and the rice is cooked to perfection, absorbing the flavors of the meat and spices. Every bite is incredibly satisfying.🍚 2. Kebabs: A common street food in Dhaka, kebabs are made with tender pieces of meat marinated in unique spices and grilled until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Served with special sauces, the kebabs are bursting with flavor and simply irresistible.🍖 3. Chapati/Paratha: These flatbreads come in various forms, from plain to those filled with vegetables, meat, or cheese. They are often eaten with curry, and dipping the chapati into the rich curry creates a delightful culinary experience. They are one of the local staple foods.🥞 4. Sweets: Dhaka's desserts are known for their sweetness. Gulab Jamun, fried dough balls soaked in sugar syrup, are sweet and soft. Ras malai, a cheese pudding-like dessert, is rich and creamy, sweet but not overpowering. Those with a sweet tooth should not miss these treats.🍮 4. Things to Note 1. Visa and Entry: It's recommended to obtain a tourist visa in advance. For a visa on arrival, you'll need a printed English itinerary, a printed English hotel booking confirmation (matching the flight dates), and a printed certificate of two vaccine doses or a negative nucleic acid test within 72 hours. Upon arrival, collect the arrival card to fill out, then pay the fee (USD 51 or RMB 450, small bills recommended) at the glass counter on the side. After payment, get the stamp at the counter and check the duration of stay. You can exchange currency on the second floor. Exchange points are limited in the city, mostly ATMs.👮‍♀️ 2. Transportation: Dhaka's traffic is quite chaotic, with pedestrians and vehicles sharing the roads. Main transportation options include taxis, auto-rickshaws (locally known as CNGs), and rickshaws. For short distances, CNGs are a good option, costing around 100-200 Taka. For longer distances, using ride-hailing apps like Uber is recommended to avoid communication issues. Allow ample travel time, as a 30-minute journey can take up to 2 hours due to traffic jams.🚗 3. Accommodation: Accommodation in Bangladesh is generally not cheap. Clean and comfortable hotels start from around 300 RMB, while those below 200 RMB may have subpar conditions. Choose rooms away from the street to avoid noise. For safety and comfort, consider staying near the embassy area or Dhaka University.🏨 4. Food and Hygiene: Street food hygiene standards in Dhaka vary, and those with sensitive stomachs may experience discomfort. It's advisable to bring some stomach medicine. Locals eat with their right hand, as using the left hand is considered impolite. Use your right hand for receiving items and shaking hands as well. Bangladesh is a Muslim country, and you'll hear calls to prayer from mosques throughout the day. Respect local religious beliefs.🍽️ 5. Cultural Differences: Bangladeshis are often curious about foreigners, and you may attract attention or even be asked for photos. Don't be alarmed; it's mostly out of friendliness and curiosity. When visiting religious sites like mosques, dress modestly and maintain a respectful silence.🙏 Dhaka, a city full of mystery and charm, awaits your exploration. Pack your bags and embark on a spontaneous adventure, creating your own beautiful memories in Dhaka!💕

Hey guys! 👋 I went on a business trip to Bangladesh recently and stayed in Dhaka for a week. It was a unique experience, and I want to share it with you! 😎 The first thing I noticed when I arrived was how crowded it was. I only saw one traffic light 🚥 in the whole city. Cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, and even horse-drawn carriages all fought for space on the road. It could take an hour to travel just 1 km. It was crazy! 😂 📄 Visas & Currency Exchange We got business visas, which made it easy to get through customs. We just had to fill out an arrival card. If you get a visa on arrival, you'll need an invitation letter and USD 51, and you'll have to wait in line. I exchanged money with a Chinese colleague at a rate of 17.5. I also exchanged money at a Chinese supermarket and a currency exchange on the street at a rate of 17.2. This was cheaper than using a credit card, so if you plan to buy expensive items like pearls, I recommend exchanging money in advance. 💰 🏨 Accommodation Dhaka has some international hotel chains, like IHG and Marriott. There's an InterContinental near the old town, close to Dhaka University and the Bangladesh National Museum, which is very convenient. The Westin and Crowne Plaza are in Gulshan, the center of the new town, but the hotels are a bit old. I highly recommend the Renaissance near the new town. It has a rooftop infinity pool, which is super fancy! 🤩 A Sheraton is also opening soon.
