Sun's house...

This is the 人民广场. There is a big fountian in the center of the parade, surrounded by high rise buildings. Generally, there is nothing much abt this place, but u can see many locals will just sit around or bring kids there to FLY KITE..?!?!?!

Day 5 - 13-June-2006

Wuxi

On the Fifth day of the tour, we were in Wuxi.

Wuxi is famous for its “太湖” = "TAI HU". This is one of the bigest lake in China, but the water depth is merely 2m on the average, deepest is only 5m. Cannot believe right...!

This lake is also bear most of the China's Pearl. Below has one phot which shows the Pearl Wholesale Factory.

Wuxi is also a place where the major element of Tea Pot are discovered. Therefore, we aslo went to the Tea Pot making factory.



Garden again


The different types of tea pots.


Digging out the perals...! Real Pearls..!!!


新天地

Nearly evening, we travelled from Wuxi back to Shanghai... finally... We went to this place call 新天地. This place is much more lively and you could see more youngster and foreigner, maybe because its Shanghai.

By evening, we went for night viewing.

Day 3 - 11-May-2006

On the 3rd day, we were still loitering in Hangzhou.

Early in the morning, we went to the famous "Hangzhou Xi Hu" - West Lake. It supposes to carry one of the best scenery in China, however that morning was too foggy to see any greenery..! Haiz~ What a disappointment...


Foggy weather


Look at my sleepy look...


These are better class boats also for cruising on Xi Hu, but you gotta pay more lah..! Us..? of cos we took the cheapest ones, super normal ferry only...


As we were passing through the garden to board our bus, see what we found... Squirrels..! Heehee... my photography skill still not too bad ba... still able to capture them into my camara...!


This place is where the famous Hangzhou Long Jing Tea is produced.


We had lunch at a famous Thai Restaurant. If you can see, the wall of photo frames, the one i am pointing at is Andy Lau....!!!!

After lunch, the activities are super boring loh... We were brought to a Medical Hall and was recommened to all expensive “江湖” cream & pills...!!! Imagine wat, we actually spent a few thousand RMB there~~~ What I really hates about tour is when we visit such "spend money" place, the tour leader would never rush us and urge us to be punctual..!!! I hate it..!!!

We continue our tedious 4 HRS BUS journey to Nanjin...

Finally, the best part of the day...!!!!! IT SHOPPING TIME...!!!! In the evening, we were told that our next desination was “夫子庙” at first i thought it is another temple, sianz 一半~~~ Who knows, fu zi miao is actually a shopping street... On the front, it is like Taiwan Xi Meng Ting, at the back street, it is like Hong Kong Temple Street... Interesting place isn't it...!

The 土产 there is their 咸水鸭, some many of the shops there are selling the duck products. But majority are still fashion shops...!! From clothings to accessories, shoes, bags, whatever a woman needs, you will find it there...!!!

Too busy shopping, so no photo was taken... keke...

That's all for Day 3.

Day 2 - 10-May-2006

Day 2 - Hangzhou

On the 2nd day of the tour, we visted almost all the attraction places in Hangzhou.

Hangzhou is a good place for recuperate. The air is fresh, the place is clean and everything is so nature. And the pace is also much slower...

Early in the morning, we visited Temple liao... To me is super sianz lah... but bcos for photo effect, i still tried to smile & act cute... keke..

Han San Si


On this rock indicates "Ti Zhong Shi" => Listening Bell Stone

As illustrated by the tour leader, if u concentrate and listen to 3 "Dong" from the Bell, it will help to rest & peace one's mind... it enables you to clear all unnecessary knots that you have been keeping in your heart and allows you to think clearer.

After this, we went to the silk making factory... As you know, Hangzhou is famous for its silk...!

Baby worms that produced silk...


Making silk sheet

By noon, we proceeded to a Pagoda - "Lei Feng Ta" where Mdm White was kept captive. If you are totally lost... It is about the romantic myth of Mdm White Snake白素貞 & Xu Xian許仙. Go find out more about it yourself...!!


This is the place where we had our lunch.. Nice rite...?!?! But the food s**k...


Lei Feng Ta


On the highest floor of the pagoda - 7 th floor
Dun play play, there are lifts inside...!!!


Inside the buliding


We also went Yue Fei Temple... Temple again...


This wall is called the Old Gate of the City... Look familiar?

The last activity of the day was to watch a performance in Hangzhou Grand Theatre. The toy i am holding is there for a reason, this toy is to replace clapping effect by hand and i think is to improve the sound effect... cos there are lots of lazy ppl like me refuse to clap even if the performance is good... keke...
