Tianjin 天津

It is only 30 minutes train ride from Beijing to Tainjin but I decided to take the coach instead. Normally the travelling time for the coach is about 2 hours but on that day, due to an accident on the highway, I took more than 5 hours to reach Tainjin.

I reached Tainjin in the late afternoon and could only stayed there for a few hours before going back to Beijing. I wondered around the shopping area, riverside and train station. Yes! I bought a jacket.

I was so hungry and walked into a shop. The owner said there was nothing much left during that time. He suggested to cook me a bowl of eggs soup with some buns. I accepted.

After eating, I walked around the vicinity but there was nothing of interest to me. I continued to walk to the city area.

There were more shops, restaurants, hotels and people in the city. There was even McDonald’s and other branded shops.

I saw the Paris Wedding Photo Studio having a fashion show in front of the shop. I stopped for a while to watch the show.

Slowly I walked till the sun went down and the lights came up. I realized that it was time for me to return to Beijing.

Hangzhou 杭州

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

Fuzhou 福州

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.

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

Guangzhou 广州

我去过两次广州.两次都是从深圳坐火车到那里.

白云长在天
步上白云山
走进白云景
到达白云顶
遥望白云市
满足藏心底

美丽的爱情可以从风铃开始
但可要找到能够解风铃之谜的人

吃在广州. 这里的食物精致美味, 食之堪称人间一大享受.
吃不仅是一种生存的本能与需要, 更升华为一种技巧、一种艺术。
我在广州的时候, 吃的很多.
哦！我体重增加了.

听说桂林山水甲天下. 到达了桂林之后才領略到桂林的絕美風景. 山水可是天下一绝。

I stayed in the Sapphire Hotel. It is just along the walking street.

The night market

Simply local food I eat during the trip. Cheap and good.

I walked around freely and visited a few interesting places.

The traditional examination

An Aerial view of the city

While I was walking towards the main road to take the bus to my next destination on my last day in Guilin, I heard a loud sound of explosion behind me. I saw smoke went up higher than the five storey building. I walked back to see what has happened and found that it was a celebration of the opening of a new shop. Too many fire crackers were used.

Urumqi 乌鲁木齐

The security in Urumqi is very tight. I can see policemen almost everywhere. I have to go through the hotel security check every time I want to go back to the room.

    

在乌鲁木齐到处都是警察.这是因为这个地方之前发生过暴力攻击事件引起国际间关注. 这代表这个地方是安全还是危险? 最安全的地方也是最危险的地方. 最危险的地方也是最安全的地方. 安全和危险只是一线之别. 你必须知道如何选择.

                           

我住在天山区但我没看到七剑中的任何一个人. 天山童姥也不在家.

但我看到了天山莲雪. 

    

 Tianshan Mountain 天山 

          

Heavenly Lake of Tianshan (Tianchi) 天池

             

山区正在下雪. 城市还好,没有下雪.  

      

你可能不习惯吃那里的食物. 太重口味了

  

Turpan 吐鲁番盆地

We took the bus from Urumqi 乌鲁木齐 to Turpan 吐鲁番. In Turpan, we hired a taxi for 600 RBM (about S$120) to show us the places of interest. We visited the Thousand Buddha Caves 千佛洞, Ancient City of Jiaohe 交河故城, Museum of Turpan Karez Paradise 坎儿井民俗园, the Sugong Pagoda 蘇公塔 and the Prince Jun Palace 郡王府. 

  

The trip includes lunch but we have to pay for the entrance fees. Though the driver was very friendly and recommended, I think this is very expensive unless you have 4 people to share the taxi cost. 

Maybe should we take the group tour for 150 RMB (S$30) per person. 

                                                

There is an underground tunnel in Prince Jun Palace. Maybe this is the escape route as there were many flights during that time. An interesting place to visit for S$4.20 entrance fee. Can forget visiting the Sugong Pagoda. Not worth paying S$9.40 to get into it.
