Fuzhou 福州

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.

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.

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.

This is my first visit to Kunming and it is worth the effort planing for the trip. In fact, I found that I do not have enough time to visit as many places as I would like to. So, I am planning for another trip to this garden city again.
