    Dhobi Ghat in Mumbai is a fascinating open-air laundromat where hundreds of washermen (dhobis) clean clothes in rows of concrete wash pens. A symbol of Mumbai’s hardworking spirit, it offers a unique glimpse into the city’s traditional laundry system. A must-visit for photographers and culture enthusiasts!

    Beautiful florals and gorgeous lighting create a wonderful atmosphere. The temple is well arranged. The only thing missing is the mushak (maybe because it is a festival) the rest is good. Holy and pious, the whole process is very systematic so it is not troublesome even when it is very crowded, it is also very clean, people may need to be a little careful when buying flowers and items for worship as they want to cheat you subtly, negotiate the price beforehand, and also beware of pickpockets.

    The seaside is still very spectacular. After passing the famous "Gate of India" in Mumbai, you will see the Indian Ocean. However, India is really dirty, with garbage everywhere on the ground. The sea water is not blue at all, like the Yellow River.

    In the north of Mumbai, there is a huge national park with decent scenery but some backward facilities. You can only get in by car and it may take 2 hours to walk. Inside you can see the place where monks practiced 2000 years ago.

    Found it fun! The little one was happy - it would be better if they offered more activities because after 20 minutes you have finished with the slides and some equipment to play with.

    The famous Prince of Wales Museum is located in Mumbai, India. It has a very British style and typical European architecture. It is a cultural treasure left over from the British colonial period that will make you linger.

    This is probably the only temple in Mumbai, located right near the beach, a must-see. The three goddess statues are beautiful and full of positive energy, and there are steps behind them leading to the Arabian Sea, where you can see the waves crashing against the rocks. In the past, you could go directly to the rocks below, but now it is fenced off. It is still a historic site worth seeing.

    The Hanging Gardens, also known as the Hain Gardens, are located on top of the Malabar Hill in the wealthy area. Because the garden is located above a reservoir, it is called the Hanging Gardens. I came here not because of how beautiful the garden is, but because I was infected by the locals who came here. They are simple and happy.

    It was the first time I saw such a seaside. Everyone was standing on the beach in complete clothes and looking at the sea. No one went into the sea. No one wore swimsuits. No one engaged in any water sports. But walking along the beach gave me a different feeling in the dirty Mumbai. It’s definitely worth a visit after venturing for a while
