普达措国家公园 Potatso National Park

来到人们所说的人间天堂.

蓝天白云, 绿色草地, 安静祥和.
小桥流水, 牛羊吃草, 鸟儿歌唱.
看似一幅美丽的图画,但听起来像是一首充满爱的歌.

太阳落山, 天色漸暗, 缓歌慢舞处处闻.
今晨我可乘风游去, 黄昏我能与鹤共 舞.
这种无忧无虑的生活,神仙也羡慕.
何似在人间.

踏进这片超过海拔3,504米的自然土地, 别有一番滋味在心头.

不管你有多少忧愁, 来到这里你将不会知道什么是愁滋味.

这就是人们所说的香格里拉

Zhuhai 珠海

I got to know a IT  Professor in Beijing Insititute of Technology in Zhuhai 北京理工大学珠海学院. Followed his instructions, I took a bus (S$7) from Zhenshen to the University and stayed in the campus for 2 nights.

I took the bus (20 cents per trip) and visited a few places while I was in Zhuhai. The new Yuan Ming Yuan 圓明新園 is a place that I would recommmend you to visit if you are in Zhuhai

From Zhuhai, I crossed the border to Macau.

Tianjin 天津

This 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 5 hours to reach  Tainjin.

I only stayed in Tainjin for about 4 hours wondering around the shopping area, riverside and train station. Maybe I should visit Tainjin again on my next trip to Beijing and this time I will stay there for at least 2 days.

Shenzhen 深圳

The hotels in Zhenshen are rather cheap, as compared to Singapore and Hong Kong. You could get a double-bed room in a 4 star hotel for about S$30. If you like massage, spa or healthcare centres, there are many in Shenzhen. East Gate is a good place for you to get cheap goods but be careful of the pickpockets. It is very easy to visit the attractions by taking the train.

I did not visit the The Window of the World 世界之窗 but I went to the Folk Culture Village and Splendid China 锦绣中华民俗村. These 2 attractions are in one place and you just need to pay for one entry (about S$20). Do not miss the horse back battle show as it is worth watching.

Hangzhou 杭州

There is an old Chinese saying: “Above there is heaven, below there is Hangzhou”  上有天堂，下有杭州

Hangzhou’s reputation as heaven is largely down to the West Lake (西湖). I was in Hangzhou for 3 days and this is very short time for me to enjoy the heaven on earth. Moreover I stayed in the Xiaoshan district (萧山区) which is about an hour bus ride to the west lake. So, Heaven please wait for me to visit you again in my next trip.

Suzhou 苏州

From Shanghai Hongqiao railway station I took the train to Suzhou. It is just 2 stops and the journey is about 30 minutes. The ticket costs S$8.

Suzhou is known as the Eastern Venice (Water City of the East). There is no train service in the city and people have to take the buses and occasionally the boats. The bus fare is 20 cents per trip. I have no problem traveling alone in Suzhou as I am able to read the signs and take the buses to those places I wanted to visit. I stayed 3 days and 2 nights in Suzhou but I do not mind visiting the place again as it is really worth visiting twice.
