Chinese New Year Getaway
Hello guys,
I have recently made a Chinese New Year Weekend trip to Dublin, Ireland for a very very short 2 nights stay in Dublin. A short weekend break to Dublin was a great way to spend my Chinese New Year weekend. And on top of that, money is still spent wisely.
Dublin was only 50 minutes away from London. I flew on BMI and it costs me about 70 pounds return from Dublin. Dublin is the main capital city of Ireland. Dublin is situated at the south-east part of Ireland. I had such great fun in Dublin city centre that I did not have much time to go around Ireland itself. The countryside around Dublin like Wicklow, had such an amazing view. You can see real Irish people like in the movies actually living on the highlands area of the countryside. And, not to forget, Ireland is famous for their legendary tales on Leprechauns. In the heart of Dublin city centre, recently built Leprechaun Museum is one of the top attractions that you must visit. It was only opened last year in the Summer and it has been one of the top main attractions that tourists would prefer to visit.
More details of the leprechaun museum can be found here:

There are more that just one museums in Dublin. Most of the natural and historical museums in Dublin are free. So that's one motivation for everyone to go and visit the museums in Dublin. There are other attractions in Dublin that you should not miss out. One of them would be the Dublin Castle. Its free! And its within walking distance to the top notch shopping street in Dublin, Grafton Street, as well as one of the famous Colleges in the world, the Trinity College, Dublin.

For those who love shopping, then Grafton Street is the place for you. There are soo many shops including M&S, Office and so on. And there is the Grafton Shopping Mall, where you can find lots of different local handicrafts and paintings, of which Dublin is famous for that. Opposite the shopping mall, there is the Grafton park, where most tourists would like to relax and enjoy their afternoon with their families.
As for those food lovers then, Temple Bar and O'Connell Street is the place for you! There's lots of different range of restaurants, bar and pubs in those areas ranging from different prices. One of the most important main Irish dish is the Traditional Irish Stew.
You must not miss this!!
Another traditional Irish dessert was the Wake Cake!! Soo yummy and delicious!! 
Till Next Time!
