Top Travel Official Series 5 (United Kingdom) Episode 21 - Manchester trip

Hello, there. After Christmas holiday that i visited Coventry last year, as i know i lived in Birmingham for literally one and a half year, i planned to visit Manchester for 3 days and 2 nights. The great thing i found Birmingham New Street station is whenever you go to work, travelling outside the city or visit major cities. This stations are all settled inside the city centre.

So therefore, i brought the train ticket to Manchester Piccadilly and ride CrossCountry diesel train to Manchester, the speed nearly reached 200 km/h but sometimes it keep going faster or keep slowing down due to the signalling limits the travel time efficiency.

After arrived at Manchester, i did not immediately begin my video recording as i need to find hotel to settle down first, it took me 40 minutes to arrived at Holiday Inn express hotel nearby Oxford Road station. During the first day night, i went to Chinatown and ate hainan chicken rice and take a deep break in the first day.

On second day, i managed to visit Deansgate skyscraper and ride the Manchester Light rail to Trafford Plaza. Just because from Deansgate to Trafford Plaza is from Zone 1 to Zone 3, so the return tickets are sightly expensive but it is worthy. One of the most memorable part was the light rail run nearby the long canal and i also discovered Quay Side Media UK shopping mall on the opposite side where another youtuber CoCo gor filmed there before.

When i arrived at Trafford Plaza station, i found the entire architecture and indoor design looked really luxurious like a palace. It's also shopping mall where people loves to shopping there. This Trafford plaza is quite popular to go there. Unfortunately i cannot stay there for longer as i need to return to Oxford road and ready to eat japanese buffet as i promised to book at 5:30 pm. After ate dinner on japanese buffet, i did not spent the remained time going on a street and i believed that there's still place i haven't visit in Manchester it is called Quayside Media UK or BBC television broadcast building where English actors, journalist and news reporter usually work because i booked the return ticket back to Birmingham New Street at 4pm and some friends are visiting me on Manchester on third day.
