China Trip: Fifth Day

February 6th, Sunday...

Good day folk :) here comes my fifth day trip in China. It's all about the Shang Hai, a nice and beautiful place, that been through decades and centuries of events etches... Until how it's being shaped so beautifully. ^^ Keep track on our foot prints...

That's the tower that indicates the characteristic of Shang Hai, called Dong Fang Ming Zhu, which I've already mentioned before in my fourth day trip entry. Witnessed how awesome and beautiful it is at night right? ^^

Hehe... Mom helped me snapped this. A picture of me with the tower :) If ever anyone of you have a chance to visit Shang Hai, here is a must visit place, trust me ;)


The square in front of the tower, frames of the roof are nicely built surrounding the edge of it O.O Take a look inside..

As expected, it looks similar to the decoration of a mall with all the red ball like thingy hanging, Chinese New Year feel is still so strong :) Love it.. ^^


Ohh... That's the elevator that sent us up to the 88th floor of the tower if I wasn't mistaken. :) Speed was undoubtedly fast, 'cause imagine we reached there in only around 20 seconds.


The river in the pictures was called Da Pu Jiang... One of the longest rivers in China. So take a look at the whole Shang Hai bay from this 88th floor...


This was some sort like a lookout point... Damn we need to pay before we can actually use the telescope. 1 buck Ren Ming Bi per 30 seconds. WTH!! Some more can't see properly that kind...

I would rather use my camera to shoot them down :) Too bad the whether that day was kinda gloomy, but not raining, therefore extraordinarily cold, and pictures weren't too nice. Sudah la, as long as I can show what's going on :)

OMGOSH!!!!! I didn't even realize I was actually standing on only a piece of glass that's only 2 to 3 inches thick until I wonder why dad don't dare to stand on this zone. O.O :S Hahahahaha XD... Was kinda terrified even though I don't scare of height.. LOL


My mom, same... Got no problem stepping on the glass and taking pictures.. Haha ^^ She's great :)


Me ^^ Haha, no problem... But, aiks... Wind was so strong, my hair messy >.<


But not for my dad, he's seriously scared of height. So it's kinda a big challenge for him.. LOL, he eventually he decided to stand on top of the beam, haha... he said just in cast :P


Felt so syok.... But it's so freaking cold plus the wind so strong, without a proper sweater will seriously freeze.. :P


Went down after a few rounds snapping around the tower top :) It was actually kinda like a museum at the bottom part here. Saw lotsa old style vehicles...


They showed what kinda vehicles Shang Hai was popular with chronologically. Awesome...


The electrical semi-bus semi-train...


Hehe... Dad helped me to shoot this :) Luckily still nice enough, 'cause camera is such freak for him. XD

Ohh!! I love this... The old Shang Hai street that vehicles pulled by either men or horses can still be seen :D

Haha... The real show showing how people in old Shang Hai have their wedding ceremonial held :)

Dad... Adui, why his style of posting can be so retarded one?? So funny :P


The artificial scene showing the how the people in their houses in the old days... Based on real scene...

By passed another corner of the street, another show was being shown showing how the spoil brat trying to bully the dad and the daughter that worked as performers in the restaurant... Haha, it was nice and the story line was real funny XD


Me... at the dark street...


Dad and mom


Me again... hehe, aiks... blur >.<


An artificial scene of the night Shang Hai...


I make them all dark ^^


Hehe... Saw the man-made beggar at another corner, I asked my dad to hold the camera to shoot with my random post like this. Old Shang Hai gangster is holding the gun killing a beggar on the street XD

Ohh... Nice!! I love this, 'cause it looks so real


Self-snapping :P Note my pink glove >.< 'cause the grocery store dun have other colors but my hands were frozen, so just don't be picky la :P


The old times' ball room and party... Which I found that they are more beautiful and romantic than those nowadays :) So wish that she and I were one of the pairs dancing inside ^^


On the street, mom and I... Hehe, I set the timer properly and asked mom to come together :) love her...

After coming out from the museum like areas... Was kinda thirsty, so we went to look for some drinks. Reached a store selling all kinds of jelly stuffs, heard them said these jellies tasted not bad..

So instead of buying drinks, I ended up buying these >.<


Coming out from the tower zone, the whole gang was heading to somewhere, seriously before reaching, I have no idea where we were going...


Haha... I see :) It was a place besides the Chang Jiang we saw from the top part of the tower. It has a swamp like beach but unreachable 'cause all with mud only. It's such a nice place anyway associated with the chilling whether :)


LOL... Dad and mom always want a picture of them together whenever we reached a new and nice place. ^^

Yay!! Group picture again :) Actually we took like around 10 mins to take this, know why?? 'Cause almost every 2 or 3 of them got a camera, so the tour was full with cameras on his hand, kelian him. He some more joked and said, if he ran away like this, he's gonna be rich XD... hahaha.. true also :D I am inside, find me!! ^^


Reached our restaurant for lunch of the day :)


Yeah ^^ It's lunch-ing time again :D So hungry...


The place that we went after lunch. But we got really angry at the lecturer in the picture >( Know what? Among the whole bunch, some of them brought their kids and children along, the kids were making noises. As a public speaker promoting her products, at least she has to be polite or gentle in talking right? That's the common sense, but it was totally the other way round. She heard the kids making noise the 3rd time while she was talking in front, she straight complained loudly in a very shitty tone: "If the kids still constantly making noises, please be out of the room now!!" WTF?? All of us felt so uneasy and we straight left the room without letting her to finish her talks. Some more her products seems more like robbing instead of selling, kept on wanting the customers to pay on spot for those medical medical stuffs according to my parents. A big ISHHH...


Forget about that la, we were heading to our next destination. Don't wanna spoil our mood :) Reaching a place looks so much like a temple, but it was actually a... hmmm... a store la, consider.. :P

A store making and selling all the products about the animal seen in the picture. It's actually a mythical animal of the Chinese culture, that would mostly meant to bring good lucks to people who carry them around :)


Another picture that introduces about this animal, in Chinese mandarin, we called "Tian Lu", which is a combination of the dragon's head, lion's body, tiger's feet, and don't know what tail, and with wings.


That's the lady promoting in the store. Frankly, she's really good in talking, knows Cantonese some more :D which we found her very friendly. Most of us got influenced and persuaded to buy from her... :)

Varieties of the products of the idol being exhibited and sold there, some of them really attractive and I did eyed on one, but didn't go for it at last.


A signboard on the wall showing the luck of the Chinese zodiac of this year, 2011... Believe it or not? But sometimes you have to when your lucks are really bad :) Just take it as a reference, don't be too serious.. ;)


All of us were wondering around, 'cause the styles of the products were really uncountable :) Let's choose ^^

Up next... We came to a place where we need to walk to our destination. Purpose was to let us have a look and experience the feel of walking on this Old Shang Hai street :)


I think it's also part of the tourism area, look at the amount of people :) Aiks... Just squeezed around with them all the way >.<


Love this old style street, have a strong feeling that I've gone back to the old times. Hehe, temperature was chilling, what a nice walk :)


Uh huh... Here it is ^^ Wow... it's like a castle for those old times emperors emperors to live in. So grandy.. But many things couldn't just judge by the outlook, if you did, it will give you dozens of surprises.

Surprise #1: Within this kinda Chinese traditional building, strong Chinese style feel developed. However, Starbucks spotted O.O!! Hahaha... what a funny scene huh XD.


A quick look into this place, overcrowded was the first thing in my mind >.< Beware, China people likes to bang people when walking.. Don't know they are purposely or it's already their tradition.. :(


Surprise #2: Again, Starbucks spotted in this kinda building. Wow, within so near the distance, 2 Starbucks were allowed :)


Yeah.. :D Cam-whoring :) Look at the crowds... Crazy and scary :S


Surprise #3: Shopping mall spotted O.O Haha, saw the white color signboard far from this angle? It's actually a shopping mall... Surprise right? :)


This scene is really nice, the building is so long in length. Err, actually I'm not sure whether this is the length or width of it. But the angle where I was shooting, it's only half of the length, which means the back part there was still another half of it... O.O *Stun*


Surprise #4: Restaurant called "Xiao Long Bao" spotted. OMG, look at the crowds, some more full house 'cause all of them wanted to try out just the Xiao Long Bao, so ended up the queue became this long. O.O


Varieties of restaurants can be found here too. It all depends of whether you have the money to dine in or not only.

We walked to our dining place again. Haha, looks like today we really walked to lotsa places ourselves. Here it is... But seriously, the restaurant's volume doesn't seem customers friendly, just too narrow.

We were heading to our seats, hehe, the cute dad spotted posting with a peace sign when he saw I was shooting. :P Funny la his face ^^

Such kinda restaurant in the tourism area, of course achieving the full house objectivity all the time... Undoubtedly, the food was just so nice and yummy :)

After dinner, we were told that there will be a great stage show waiting for us. There's where we were heading to in the picture :0 Something grandy again was waiting for us behind. :)


Here's the stage, I found the best angle seat and settled down. The stage was wonderfully prepared for the coming soon great awesome performances. Very nice... Before it started, reporters came after me for a short and brief reporting, haha... Everyone was excited the next morning to see me on screen in the hotel lobby. LOL... The show doesn't allow anyone to bring cameras for pictures, 'cause they want the show to be unique and no plagiarism. But I know I'm gonna blog about this, so.. Hehe, curi-curi snapped some la :P So, I'm not gonna write much anymore, just too much and difficult to be described in words. Let the pictures solo then :D

























































































Hehe, actually shot quite alot. :P Feel kinda bad for breaking the rules and regulations, but I was only using them for blogging. Who cares? ^^ Love the music very much... Hope I can find it online :) Alright, that's roughly all the whole day la :)



More to come :)

Stay tune ya...

K.y.U.o.


The Xiao Qi Gui :P
