上有天堂，下有杭州
西湖有如中国山水画般的美丽
可惜老天不做美下起了毛毛雨
让我无法拍出好看的照片
我必须再次来这个地方取景
拍照可要看老天的面色
尽管在下雨, 我还是继续的逛绕着西湖漫步
看到了西湖十景的断桥残雪
这可是白蛇传里的白素贞与许仙偶遇的地方
许仙将油纸伞相赠于白素贞得以遮雨归家
我继续往下走
看到水浒传里的打虎英雄武松之墓
还有中国古代四大名妓苏小小之墓
听说连乾隆皇帝都去过苏小小的墓
杭州还有很多可供游客参观的地方, 但我没有全部参观完
当我在杭州的时候, 我住在是萧山区
在这里, 我可以看到农民在农场里工作
其实这里离市区并不远
我从火车上下来
我去城里呆一会儿
和我的联系人见了面
去了一家茶馆
还吃了一些食物
First trip to Krabi was from Phi Phi island by boat. We just got an hour stop in the town area for some pictures taking and hurry to take the mini van to Phuket to catch the show in Fantasea. I dd not see much of Krabi.
Second trip to Krabi was from Hat Yai by van. I stayed in a hotel which is just 10 minutes walk to the famous Ao Nang Beach. I was in Krabi for 4 days and 3 nights. I have more time to explore Krabi.
The sunset was beautiful. The fireworks was fantastic. 冇得頂!
Do not feed the monkeys. Unless you want the monkeys to climb over you.
During the stay, I took the 4-island tour.
I explored Hat Yai in different ways and each trip gave me a different perspective— by coach, plane, and multiple bus routes. My 1st trip to Hat Yai was by the coach from Golden Mile. The 2nd trip was by plane from Changi Airport. The 3rd trip was by afternoon bus from Johor Larkin Bus Terminal to Kuala Lumpur and waited for 5 hours to take the midnight bus to Hat Yai. The 4th trip was by direct express bus from Johor Larkin Bus Terminal to Hat Yai. I will say Hat Yai is a place to eat and shop. A stay for 2 to 4 days is enough to soak it all in without feeling rushed.
I took the van from Hat Yai bus terminal 2 to Karbi.
I got the public bus 01 from Da Nang and it took me about 45 minutes to reach Hoi An.
From the bus station, I took a slow 30 minutes walk, under the blue cloudy sky, to the hotel.
I stayed in a 4-bedded room but 2 of the beds were empty during the 2 nights stay.
The staff were are friendly. They provided directions for places to visit.
The hotel provides breakfast. There are also nearby restaurants providing alternative food.
There is a entrance fee to get into the Hoi An ancient town but I saw many people did not buy the entrance ticket. The entrance ticket allows you to get into certain places in the old town, You can also use the ticket to watch the water puppet show. I think it is worth paying for the ticket
Inside the Hoi An ancient town
I took the half day tour to visit My Son Sanctuary (means beautiful mountain). This is a UNESCO Asia- Pacific World Heritage site. It is also known as the mini Angkor Wat.
Huế is a city in the central of Vietnam. It was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors and Vietnam’s national capital from 1802 to 1945.
A major attraction of Hue is the Imperial City (皇城). This is a walled enclosure within the citadel (京城) of the city of Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty.
The Imperial City was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. This historical site is still undergoing restoration when I was there.
When you walk out of the visiting site, you will be encountered by locals trying to sell anything they have on hand.
The Thien Mu Pagoda (Heaven Fairy Lady Pagoda) is one of the most fascinating ancient pagoda in the Hue city. It is situated on Ha Khe hill, north bank of the Perfume River, in Huong Long village. I walked for about 5 kilometers (about an hour) from the city to reach there. After been there for about 30 minutes, I walked back to the hotel; I could have taken the boat ride back instead.
The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is a World Heritage but I found there is no nothing much to see.
The market is on the right hand side of the the bridge when I walked from the main road. Besides vegetables and meat, the market also sells food, drinks, household items, clothing, shoes, etc. I bought a pair of Adidas shoe and some roasted Vietnamese cashew nuts through a hard bargaining process.
The city area where I stayed.
I stayed in the Amona Hotel. The check-out time is at noon but I was allowed to stay till the late afternoon for the bus come and pick me up to Da Nang, I gave the hotel a 5 Star rating in Agoda.
I took the bus from Xiamen (厦门) to Fuzhou (福州). I walked into a hotel but was rejected. The staff said according to the regulations and for safety, foreigners are to stay in at least a 3 Star hotel.
I asked the locals and found that the 3 Star hotels are not within my budget. Finally, I was directed to stay in an apartment (写字楼). The counter staff said that the regulations are only for hotels and apartments are excluded.
Went to the Panda Word and I only saw one sleeping Panda.
There is also a mini animal show.
Some of the food I had in during my 3 days in Fuzhou.
I have heard about the Vietnam war. I have heard about the Cu Chi Tunnels. When I reached Ho Chi Minh City, I quickly booked a tour to visit this mystery place. The tour guide was a solider with the American army during the Vietnam war. Though the funny man joked and “smoked” about the war, hearing the history from a war veteran is really different from the someone who has not been to war.
I took the 3pm Limousine van (S$21.90) from Hanoi and reached Sapa at about 8pm. I booked a hotel that is rated 5 Star from Agoda. This is a small family owned hotel that has 5 Star hospitality but no facilities.
I met up with the natives and took some of them for dinner instead of buying the souvenirs they were trying to sell me. I also bought biscuits for those children cruising around the amphitheater.
I saw a child sitting along the street. People passed by and gave him food and money. I gave the boy a bar of wafer biscuit. I was anxious to know what was happening and stand at a side to observe. A woman came from the other side of the road with a young girl, and took the boy with her. I am not sure was it her son!
The Sun Plaza is the great spot for tourists to take pictures. The lake is just a few minutes walk away from the city area
The Market Place is about 20 minutes walk from the Sun Plaza. It is at the top end of the lake. I discovered that there is a nigh market in front of the market building when I was on my way back to Hanoi. Maybe I should visit it in my next trip.
The Cat Cat Village is about 30 minutes walk from the Sun Plaza. The entrance fee is S$8 and I think this is a bit expensive. Motorists will approach you for a ride to the village but I think this is not necessary as you could see more by foot. This is a nice place and worth the visit. Remember to get sweet and biscuits for the children in the village.
Moanasapa is discovered by accident when I followed a group of tour walking towards to villages. The entrance is S$4.27 and comes with a botte of water. Although there are many man-made attractions for you to take pictures, the general appearance of the natural environment could easily take your breath away. I had to stop to admire the scenery. There is also a cafe or you to sit down and relax.
The cable car station is inside the Bell Plaza. The ticket to the Sunworld Fansipan Legend is S$52.26. The first cable car that will take you to the Sunworld garden for photo taking.
The 2nd cable car will take you up to the Fansipan cable car station. Upon arrival, you can either take the mountain train or continue to walk up the steps to the summit, which is 3,143m above sea level. It is very cold up in the mountain. Remember to bring along a jacket, umbrella, rain coat and even gloves.
我从深圳坐火车到厦门.
途中，火车经过老房子和一些稻田
多么美丽的场景
厦门之旅难忘记
总共去了有两次
吃住行玩全不缺
还想再去大攻略
厦门故事讲不完
蜡像馆里见真人
上胡里山看炮台
还有那条步行街
鼓浪屿是好地方
自然鬼斧神工造
令人惊叹的景致
还有珍珠白沙滩
生命诚可贵, 爱情价更高
若为自由故, 两者皆可抛
在这个男女不分的地方
人们自由自在的享受生活
你可以穿你想要穿的, 不穿也可以
你可以做你想做的事, 没有人在乎
甚至那活儿也现了出来
都不会有人来管
这可能是警察的懒觉
没有人来维护秩序
