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 fights 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.

Shangri-La City 香格里拉

shangri-la-119

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.

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.
