It was a summer trip to Portland, Oregon with my partner. we found it to be a vibrant city filled with unique experiences, delicious food, and scenic spots. We began our day at Powell's City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world. We loved getting lost among the stacks of new and used books, and we even picked up a couple of unique titles that we hadn't seen anywhere else. 📍 1005 W Burnside St, Portland, OR 97209 We headed to Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Their coffee is just as incredible as the hype suggests. I’d recommend trying their cold brew - it was smooth and refreshing, perfect for a warm Portland day. 📍128 SW 3rd Ave, Portland, OR 97204 We also explored Pine Street Market, a vibrant food hall filled with a variety of options. We particularly enjoyed the ramen at Marukin Ramen - the broth was rich and the noodles had just the right amount of chew. Prices vary by stall. 💰 $10-$15 📍 126 SW 2nd Ave, Portland, OR 97204 We also took a leisurely walk along the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. It's a beautiful spot to take in views of the Willamette River and the city skyline. If you're lucky, you might catch a local event or street performance 😍 📍Naito Pkwy, Portland, OR 97204 I’d suggest heading to Pok Pok for some mouthwatering Thai street food if you’re looking for a good spot for dinner. The fish sauce wings were phenomenal, and their Papaya Pok Pok salad was a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy. 💰$20-$30 per person. 📍3226 SE Division St, Portland, OR 97202 We also visited the International Rose Test Garden 🪴 I was amazed by the variety of roses and the stunning views of the city and Mount Hood. It's a peaceful place to wander, take pictures, and enjoy the fragrance of thousands of roses. And the best part? It's free to visit! 📍400 SW Kingston Ave, Portland, OR 97205 We also explored the Pearl District, known for its chic boutiques, art galleries, and loft apartments. We stumbled upon a few local art galleries and a fantastic shop called Cargo, which sells an eclectic mix of global imports. Last but not least, if you’re looking for somewhere for lunch, check out the Screen Door. We visited Screen Door for some Southern comfort food. Their fried chicken and waffles were divine, and the mac and cheese is an absolute must-try. 📍1131 NW Couch St, Portland, OR 97209 💰$15-$25 per person #summerdate #trip #Vacation

#timetotravel We had a two-night stay in this historic hotel where US Presidents and famous artists have stayed during their visit in Portland, Oregon. I loved the interior. It somehow transported my family and I in a different time. We also enjoyed the Stairwell Museum as it showcased photos of Portland's beginnings. I really recommend to stay here. #urbanexplorer #usa #usa2023 #awesomepic #travel #travel2023

#timetotravel What an awesome place Powell's City of Books is. When I jokingly said to our relatives here, "Drop uncle and I off here and we'll close the store." We kinda did. Uncle and I went separately inside and ended up roaming and looking at books until closing time. We spent roughly 2 hours there and it was fun! The bookstore is huge with lots of sections or multi-colored zones. I noticed some books were sold cheaper here than on Amazon or even in Hong Kong's eslite. I bought a copy of Nonviolent Communication by Rosenberg (my first ever bought book! 😁) and it was the last copy. I even took home a free map of the bookstore and free bookmarks. Would I go here again? Absolutely! There's even a cafe inside. #oregon #portland #urbanexplorer #bookstore #usa #travel #usa2023 #books

#timetotravel There's something I learned when we visited the Portland Japanese Garden. My uncle said it was an act of goodwill by the American government after World War 2. They didn't want Americans to fully hate the Japanese and instead have a cultural exchange by establishing Japanese gardens in USA. It was to learn from each other. I was amazed by the thought of it and I'd really like to see more places like this. It was so peaceful here, a nice break from the city life. #awesomepic #travel #usa #usa2023 #portland #garden #nature #japanesegarden #oregon

It's really #timetotravel to Portland, Oregon and see for yourself the gorgeous Pittock Mansion. What's more is that it's a historical site because the founders of Portland lived here. We saw their bedrooms and their belongings, along with the other rich families of Portland. It's also like a time machine as we saw how kitchens and bathrooms looked back then. #portland #pittockmansion #oregon #usa #usa2023 #travel #timetotravel

💋Address: 18 SE 82nd Ave, Portland, OR 97216 Big portion, pretty affordable prize. The noodle soups and dishes here are around $10-15. I really enjoy the roasted pork, the are incredibly good. I love the crispy skin and tender flesh. I feel I am eating potato chips when I bite on the crispy pork skins. And the large pieces of dark pork trotters are so moist, tender and flavorful, they are all melting in my mouth, The egg noodle we try today is thinner one, and it is smooth and tender. Will definately come back to try more other bbq dishes! 😚🍗🍖 #delicioususa2022 #tasty #yum #2022年 #food #foodie #foodiehk #境外遊 #食記 #美食推介 #usa #俄勒岡州 #波特蘭 #美國旅行 #travel #eat #localfood #吃貨 #燒肉 #燒味 #bbqpork

Location: Lansu Chinese Garden Admission Fee: $14/adult, free admission for 5 years old and below If you have been to Su Zhou in China, you will find this very familiar. If you have not been to China, here is the place you should go to see the Chinese architecture. This is a quiet and calm place in the huge city. It's a good place for photography. Also a good place to learn some Chinese history. You have to give the tea house a try. They have the Chinese style tea such as Oolong tea, black tea, green tea here. There're also some authentic Chinese snacks you can get from the tea house. It's rather hard to find a peaceful place in the chaotic city, therefore you have to pay a visit here.

If you're a beginner in hiking like me, consider going to Mt Tabor Park in Portland, Oregon. It's a fairly short and easy hike within an hour. There are a few paths that are perfect for bikers too.

This is one of the places people visiting Portland should go to. If you love to take pictures, this is definitely the place you're looking for. It's perfect for pet owners too, you are allowed to bring your furry friends there. Personally, I spent 2 hours at this garden as it's really huge. Big point, now is the perfect time to visit if the weather is good. The beautiful roses are fully-bloomed now. Remember to smell the scent from the flowers. ❤️ Address - 400 SW Kingston Ave, Portland, OR 97205 Highlights - There are over 10,000 rose bushes of approximately 650 varieties! Avg. Price per Person - Free! Rating - 5/5

Address - 611 SW Kingston Ave Portland, OR 97205 Ambiance/Facilities - Relaxing Tea Room Highlights - Tea Sets from authentic Japanese Brands Avg. Price per Person - $12-$15 Rating - 4/5 This is a cute little tea spot with delicious pairings. You can choose between savory and sweet. I chose to get ochazuke with manju and genmaicha tea. The waitress was very good with recommendations. One drawback about this place is the size of the portions. This place is great for a nice snack but not a full on meal. It was nice after touring the gardens to relax with tea and take in the view. Reservations are highly recommended. Vaccinations are required for indoor seating at the moment.

The Portland Monarch Hotel is a low-rise hotel that is good for a one-night stay! It has a swimming pool, a banquet hall, a gym, a wine bar, and other amenities. The breakfast is simple and basic, so it was good to fill up. The rooms are clean and suitable for two people, so I recommend it to those looking for a Portland hotel. There is a mart near the hotel, so the location is good. The parking lot is large, and it is especially nice at sunset. I recommend it to those traveling to Portland. 🤗 #USATravel #Portland #Hocation #HotPlace #Hocation #YearEndTravel #HotelRecommendation

I went to Portland, USA for 1 night and 2 days in 2019. The area I visited was called Astoria. Astoria has a relaxed and bright atmosphere, as you can see from the photos. So I recommend it as a travel destination to those who like to take their time and wander around rather than those who prefer to rush around 🤗 #PortlandTravel #SoloTravel #YearEndTravel #USTravel #USA

fun place, had a great time. not too bad of an area for portland. lots a fun places nearby

Portland, USA, which I visited two years ago. Portland is a city in the northwestern part of Oregon, USA. It is close to Vancouver, Canada, so I visited briefly when I traveled to Canada. Of course, I had to bring my passport because I was crossing the border! Portland, unlike New York, USA, was a city full of dense Canadian forests and a quiet feeling. I recommend a trip to the Portland area to those who want to travel to another city in the US or to those who are traveling to Vancouver, Canada :) #solo travel #Vancouver travel #Portland travel #USA

Portland, USA, where I visited in the summer of 2019. The photos are from downtown Portland. I went shopping downtown, and there were so many stores, from candy stores to tea stores, and I also visited 'Grassa', a famous handmade pasta restaurant. This is downtown Portland where I spent a full day. I recommend you take a day off when you travel to Portland! #USATravel #SoloTravel #PortlandTravel #USA #Portland

if you are staying in Portland for vacation, this is a must see destination. it’s very cheap to get in and not far at all from the city! just a short drive from most hotels and locations in downtown. we went on a rainy day and still did not have any trouble with the location. there’s not mud or anything alike but we were prepared for such conditions. I suggest bringing an umbrella and looking at weather before you go if that’s something that’s important to you. there is also a lot of stairs in some areas and small hills so be prepared to walk on more than just flat ground. overall, it was a great way to spend a few hours of our day and not get too far away from where we were staying. #hiking #hiking #gardens

Getting There - a bit of a drive but nothing drastic Attractions - just sick water We rented a car so we had a bit easier access to reach this location from our hotel in downtown Portland. however, it is no more than 30 minutes away so even an Uber could be a reasonable way to get here. well worth the view, I didn’t know there was also a hike you could do too though and do to the weather we decided not to. if you decide to go, and want to do the hike, make sure you are prepared for it! also if you go on a rainy day make sure to bring a wind breaker, poncho, and umbrella to stay as dry as possible when visiting this gorgeous waterfall.

Set in Portland’s downtown National Landmark First National Bank building, built in 1916, Expensify’s new offices reflect the company’s signature “choose-your-own-adventure” work setting. Since Expensify does not own the building, the design accounts for both the grandeur of the existing interiors and the realities of the lease term. . The main goal was to balance the space needs of the clients and the historical importance of the building by referencing the historic details and proportions. The brass was the bridging detail for this connection between contemporary and historical and made a significant impact via two brass-clad, glass-enclosed work spaces which dominate the central void. There is additional scope in the “Gatsby” style break rooms where the same metal is used for backsplashes, unifying the public and private spaces. #ancienttomb #university #lanternshow #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes

Address: 136 NW 9th Ave, Portland OR 97209 USA I don't usually eat breakfast, but it's not easy to give up the romance of breakfast when traveling. If you want to enjoy breakfast like an American in Portland, visit Fuller's Coffee Shop. It's only open from 7am to 2pm, so it's a great place to enjoy breakfast or brunch. It doesn't have a great view or comfortable seats like expensive brunch restaurants in Korea. However, I was able to enjoy my meal with a comfortable mind when I saw old men drinking coffee while reading the newspaper and old women eating pancakes while chatting with friends. In fact, most of the food on the menu here is delicious. You can't say that any of it is lacking. In particular, the French Toast ($6.95) and the 'Breakfast Steak ($9.75) are really great. It's not neat on a simple plate, but there's no better place to start your trip with a hearty meal. Coffee is perfect for finishing a meal and making plans, as it keeps refilling once you order it. I used to drink coffee here every morning and make plans for the day. Instead of eating the cold bagels provided at the hostel, visit here and try some warm food. It will be the best start to a happy trip. Average price per person: $10~$12 (including coffee) Rating: 4.6 (based on Google Map) #Portland travel #Now menu #Couples #Cafe tour #Gourmet tour #USA travel #Vacation trip #Next time here #Beginner photographer #Winter travel #Gourmet tour #Happy New Year #City travel
