China Trip: Seventh Day

February 8th, Tuesday...

It's already the 7th day of our trip in China. Near to the end, doesn't mean that nothing more special. It was totally an interesting day with something amazing waiting for us at night :)

Early in the morning, ermm... Actually not early already, nearly noon.. taking our brunch (breakie + lunch) in this famous building called "Hong Ni" (Red Dirt) that serve abnormally yummeh meal ^^.

Take a look at the inner part of this restaurant. It's so grandy inside... Ambiance lighting makes us felt so comfy when serving ^^ Bet it's kinda expensive :S

Before everyone finishes, I went out to the side of the road for some pictures.

Actually we were heading to a park with a very very big lake in the center. Have no idea what's this lake's name... But should be nice for sure ;)

Hehe... Picture of dad and mom.

And here's the lake, it's so big that lotsa small island located all around. The one above in the picture was the biggest island within the lake that has certain famous temples and a tower ^^

Love this picture. 'Cause there's no way you can snap this kinda picture from Malaysia :)

Hehe... camwhoring, lol.. I look so gunduk.. :P

Yeah!! Family picture on the other side of the lake ^^

Group picture of the ladies...

Visiting the lake park of course not only loitering around the park that simple. We were heading to the mini port at the other side of the lake, ready to sail around the lake ^^ "Eggcited"

That's the boat we gonna sail with... 4 ren min bi per entry (RM2), not too expensive right? :)

Going on board, of course heading up to the 2nd storey.. ^^ Finding a nice seat settling down, then... Camwhoring again :P

All the travelers down there. Lady with a green hat was the tour guide that guided us throughout the whole day :) She's really good in quoting all the chinese proverb without needing to refer to any scripts. Salute!!

Lotsa of the tourists were like us too, sailing around the lake leisurely. But with different boat, theirs have to be sailed by manpowers. Hehe :P

Another smaller island with somebody staying in it, but it's visitable... :) Feel very comfy to stay there..

-Sailing around the lake once needs approximately 1 hour, but it's definitely worth trying :) I knew lotsa things from the sail ^^

Up next... we went to an ancient tower to try out something called lotus jelly. It's their special product that only can be found here... But to me, it's kinda jelak, not really that nice even though they said it's good for health.

Two ladies were playing us all the chinese classical musics when we were serving the lotus jelly.

LOL... She's quite pretty and really good in her skills. :)

Went up further into the tower... Fog was all around, so can't get nice scene pictures. But what I like was the windy condition there, so cooling ^^ A picture of my dad and mom :)

LOL.. My dad and his good friend, uncle Alan :)

At the ground floor of the tower, it's actually like a museum. Exhibiting lotsa models and fact street scenes, showing what and how people did and lived last time.

A splendid 3D mini street scene... You may wanna enlarge it. It's really like a real one... Awesome :)

A picture of my dad, uncle and his friends outside the temple later on. Starting from the left side: Uncle Alan, my fifth uncle, Uncle Low, my dad. ^^

Dinner hour :D Restaurant's name: Qian Jiang Jiu Lou

Hungry ^^ finding our table and faster have a sit :)

This was where we went after dinner, called "Shung Cheng" (City of Shung). Hehe.. it's so crowded, just passing the entrance alone took us around half and hour... :S

And later on we were told that there's another grand show waiting for us again. Show's title: "Shung Cheng Qian Gu Qing" (The lasting love of the City of Shung). Wanna know how was it? Let me show you later^^

LOL... Some stun man shows were showing over that side, many people watching, sure it's nice :)

Hehe... Heading towards the city cate, it's very common during ancient China.

Lotsa streets were inside, but us guys and girls only interested in this one, the haunted street :P Quite scary and interesting :)

The haunted house that we went in, it was stated that, pregnant women and those who have heart attack were not allowed to enter. *Heartbeating* :S

A staircase that led to a huge Buddha idol on top... Don't have the time to give it a pray. Next time ya ^^

There was still around 20 mins before the show starts, we kept loitering around the streets. Never knew food stores and boutique shops were everywhere... Many people were like me, hehe.. What?? Snapping around crazily la :P

Yeah!! ^^ Shows gonna start now... Let's go up :D

I'm gonna let the pictures talk now :) They will tell you what we saw... Also directed by China famous director, Zhang Yi Mou. Don't know who?? Haha, he was also the director of 2008 Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremonial la. Is time to do some researches... :P

Show time...

That's all for the last night... :)

Thxz for viewing :D

K.y.U.o.

China Trip: Sixth Day

February 7th, Monday...

It's already the sixth day of our trip, let's catch up what and where we were visiting :)

Early in the morning we were being brought to a complex selling some real famous Chrysanthemum tea leaves.

Maybe it's tourism area, China really have lotsa this kinda complex like houses manufacturing and selling their products.

Hehe... enjoying a cup of hot re-fillable fresh chrysanthemum tea while listening to them promoting their products. Very irresistible... ^^

All of us were deciding how many packets to buy, for relative, friends and certain someone as souvenirs... Not a bad choice of gift actually. :)

Hehe.. It's so nice 'til I kept asking them to refill it for me ;)

Up next, we visited a place that couldn't get to see in usual daily life... Haha, guess what?? It's actually a place that maintains ancient China look ^^ Kinda interesting...

Evidence of me stepping on this ancient zone... But my look, aiks.. >.< damn fugly...

Such scenes... You can only see this in China, but I can frankly tell you, the water was no longer as clear and clean as we thought it should be anymore. It's comparable to the drain.. eww >.<

Family pic again, but since when my family got somebody working as a guard or police like job?? XD

Officially entering through the castle gate, feel good to walk through... Hehe, I always like this kinda scene ^^

LOL... love the scene here. It's exactly what we seen mostly on Hong Kong TVB ancient type stories dramas. But then those motorcycles really destructed the scene!! Ishh..

Feel like going back to the old times. Hehe, love the feel 'til max. And from far, we all smelled the smell of "tao fu busuk". OMG, the smell really casted us away >.< Have no idea why Hong Kong people, not only can they bear with it but the adjective "excellent" is coming out from their mouth for the gross "tau fu busuk". Eww!!

Hahaxx... I'm on an ancient street. ^^

Some sceneries "talk" show here... Enjoy the picture by my Sony Alpha A580 ^^

Welcome to China ^^

Really in love with this kinda scenery. Imagine in ancient times, people around this river selling and buying things. Food was served on top of the restaurant while viewing this scene, boat sailing around... How nice it was ^^

Our lunch venue: Qian Long Jiu Lou. (Restaurant Qian Long) It's a very classic outlook restaurant, somewhat like where ancient China people have lunch or dine in, but internal was totally a different story..

Haha, even thought the outlook was kinda antique, but internal was really modern in the sense that tables and chairs were developing a different feel.

As usual, food were served in small dishes first before the major ones came. Frankly, the food here not bad. I remember I ate 3 bowls of rice if I wasn't mistaken, perhaps too cold??

Dad and mom wanted a picture of them below th restaurant... haha, but this picture was over-exposed :P Phailed shooting skill...

LOL... too full, so loitering around the street and continue snapping ^^ The street's name was "Min Yu Fang".

Haha... Mom always wanted pictures of her own no matter where she been. Luckily she has me with her, to shoot her all the nice nice pictures, that's why buying me a DSLR ain't a wrong decision anytime XD

Yay!! Family picture again... Hehe, love this picture alot 'cause I looked very natural inside. But again, don't know where the police in the picture came from, I don't remember any of my family member is a police or guard. XD

Ohh... Yea, coming into this ancient look city ain't just for lunch that simple. We were paying to visit a place where those old times prostitutes stayed at 4 bucks per entry... Interesting right?? ^^ Let's see what we discovered inside... It's called "Hua Ju Ya She", that's a very polite way of calling a rumah pelacur actually :P

Here's the outdoor lobby that all the customers could see which chick they like at the second floor, pay and then overnight :P

Hehe... I'm actually in a rumah pelacur now ^^ LOL, it sounds so wrong...

Ohh ya!! This place was also the place where the famous story, "Lu Ding Ji" China version, actually real scene took place. It's a very famous show that everyone still like today :)

Everyone busy snapping :)

We discovered an 18+ room, that showed some sex scene with idols making love in different forms and styles. Haha, some of us were still underage, and they really obey the rules who dare not to enter. :)

Beside that cabinet, they even showed pictures of those sex scenes, but of course all weren't in real person pictures of course. Or else, male visitors wouldn't leave that room after seeing XD. Hehe...

Some equipment being used in the movie were being exhibited here too. Like the wooden seat with top used to be carried by men powers.

Went up to the second floor and done some snapping too ^^

Ohh... My dad's friend and his wife. Haha, they so sweet but so naughty 'cause the area and the bed that they were sitting was actually a restricted area that only for pictures. LOL, they went in for a few seconds for just one pictures when no one was looking... Not bad huh?? ^^

Hehe... Dad and mom wanted pictures of them together again before leaving to the next destination :)

It was around evening time, and we were being brought to a place where they sell mostly ONLY handbags, purses, shoes, and cloths.

But this place was the most terrible and bored place that we've ever been, 'cause here got no store selling water, food, and snacks. And the worst thing was, we have to be here for nearly 4 hours. T^T

What to do?? No choice lo, just simply loiter around only la... >.<

So bored... Until we nearly went crazy. LOL, so just sitting down here and started some funny jokes... Snapped some pictures as well :P

Finally, after settling everything at night, I alone went down to the street with my dad's friends and his family to some where near to shop around and hunt for some food and drinks ^^

The daughters and friends were in the cloth store looking for some cheap cloths but couldn't get any.

Temperature always fall below 10 degree Celsius after sunset period.

So it was freaking cold, but let's see what we did.. XD

Yea!! It's freaking cold, but I still bought a drum stick ice cream 'cause so long didn't try already. Dad's friend was looking at me and asked whether am I okay or not?? XD Hahahaha...

What else?? Hahaxx... An ice blended jelly bubble tea in grape and blueberry flavour. LOL, they were all the while asking me, "Eih... not cold meh?? How come you still can tahan and drink something so cold??"

LOL.. I guess is because used to it already gua.. 'Cause always drinking anything, definitely it has to be either ice blended or cold. What to do?? Born in Malaysia, so the ability of drinking everything cold also like in-born already XP

Alright

That's all for the sixth day.

Thanks for reading.

Keep track in what is coming on ya.
