Guilin, China - Day 4

Hari ni macam tak berapa busy, so kita sambung trip ke China hari tu hari ke 4. Tak habis-habis lagi ya pasal China. Alah ni kan diary, so satu hari nanti boleh baca balik sambil tengok-tengok gambar.

Hari ke 4, kami dibawa menaiki river cruise thru Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo County. It's about 83km long belt of landforms of various shapes of hills. The cruise is about 3 hours.

here's our ferry

dalam ferry ada table and nice wooden chairs.

No...bukan macam ferry kita nak pergi Langkawi tu

our cruise ni penuh dengan mat sallehs

enjoy the scenery

tapi panas nyah duduk atas deck ni. Mat salleh tu semua siap berjemur Jah!

Sampai Yangshuo terus check in to the hotel.

Then there's another cave to lawat but I seriously surrender. Idak ler teman larat nak panjat gua lagi. Cukuplah satu gua saja. So I decide to lepak in the hotel room while the rest of them pergi panjat gua. Bantai tengok tv cerita China semua. Kalau ada foreign tv channel pun, it's in french. Bantaii ler tengok ala-ala Masterchef in French.

About 5.30 pm macam tu kami di bawak untuk dinner sebab malam nak pergi tengok show.

Mandarin fish. Rasa limau mandarin...me no likey

dinner or lunch mesti dekat 10 jenis lauk

After dinner, kami dibawa untuk menyaksikan Yangshuo: Impression of Sister Liu Sanjie.

Directed by China's most famous director Mr Zhang Yimou, yang juga telah mengarah Opening Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

untuk pengetahuan anda, ini sungai dan bukitbukau betul. Bukannya skrin

kata our tour guide tiap-tiap malam penuh the show with 3000 audience

we were seated 2nd row from the top which is about RM200 per piece for the ticket (kalau tak silaplah)

The show was awesome. I ada ambik video, nanti kalau free I'll upload it here

I was told that about 600 participant dalam show ni.

Which in day time they are actually farmers. They perform at night to get extra money.

pretty rite?

Habis show shopping last kopek sebab besoknya dah nak balik.

Shopping di Yangshuo West Street. Along the street ni banyak pub. So banyaklah orang mabuk. The funniest thing that my aunty siap kena tarik tangan dengan orang mabuk, ajak masuk pub. Adoii sakit perut gelakkan.

doreamon candle

bought these cartoons character pen for my kids and their friends

ni depan pub sebenarnya. The hostess asyik paling muka jer sebab ramai orang sibuk nak ambik gambar dia because of the costume I assume.

Banyak gossip nyahhh.....

Something mencemaskan happen after habis shopping. My dad went missing!!!

Ya Allah dah pukul 11.30 malam tu nak cari my dad kat manalah. I dah cuak dah...habislah besok tak balik ni kalau tak jumpa my dad. Rupanya my dad terlepas hotel ni...dia pergi jalan another few block down. Berpeluh I cari ok....I pun tak berani nak jalan jauh-jauh...ialah kat tempat orang. Nasib baiklah dia patah balik kalau tak ......

Tu lah my dad ni degil tak reti nak tunggu orang.

The next day kami dah balik Malaysia. The end of our China trip.

Tips kalau ke China - bargain.....semua benda mesti bargain more than half the price they offer. Kalau dapat 3/4 of the price lagi bagus. But the key word here is Bargain!!

Dah keluar dah lagu rayakan..... =)

Random pictures of Guilin, China

Part 4 tak siap lagi sayang. Tapi I just want to show random pictures of Guilin city.

this junction reminds me of Bukit Bintang area

lots of scooter on the road. Motor yang tak pakai engine tak payah pakai helmet.

Some scooter are battery operated.

Li River.

Actually tepi sungai tu ada banyak tent cause during summer they swim in the river

can you see the men not wearing a shirt on the scooter.

It's a normal view. Summer panaskan.

Guilin ni sebenarnya banyak bukit bukau. Sejuk mata memandang.

mamat ni selamba jer gosok gigi tepi jalan =D

ramai ladies yang menggunakan scooter as means of transportation

met with an accident on the way to lunch.

Disebabkan jalan sempit, our bas berselisih dengan teksi. Our guide end up had to pay the taxi driver 200 Yuan as compensation.

Funny part was, during orang sibuk-sibuk accident ni. Ada sorang mamat ni kepochi gila, yang kelakarnya siap bawak mangkuk nasi dia. Kepoh sambil makan.

Terlupa nak tangkap gambar mamat kepoh tu.

kereta kat Guilin ni semua kereta mewah. Tak nampak langsung kereta yang kokak-kokak.

San Francisco bridge.....nahh just kiddin'

Hari yang ke 12 dah kita berpuasa. Rasa macam cepatnya masa berlalu.

Apa menu hari ni untuk berbuka?

Guilin, China - Day 3

Warning dulu ya. Post kali ni banyak jugak gambar.

Day 3 started with early morning breakfast over looking the river and old folks doing morning exercise. There's this one old couple doing line dancing....so cute =)

ini jer yang boleh makan dik. Yang lain tak beranilah nak ambik.

Lepas breakfast around 9 am we head to Reed Flute Cave.

gambar my baby, terjumpa dalam my camera bag =)

pintu masuk

tgklah muka orang yang keletihan

nak ke cave kena panjat tangga. Berpeluh siot nak panjat tangga ni.

Tapikan the chinese ladies selamba jer panjat dengan kasut tinggi.

Kalau I ler, lama dah ku cabut kasut tinggi tu.

Inside the cave memang cantik.

alamak salah rotate

I look fat >.<

dalam cave aircondition on all year long. It takes about 45 minutes untuk berjalan dalam cave ni.

Penat jalan dalam cave, next we head to Elephant Trunk Hill.

tau dah kenapa dia panggil tempat ni Elephant Trunk Hill?

Sebabnya....bukit tu bentuk gajah tengah sedut air di Li River

Next our guide bawak kitaorang ke ladang teh. 

Malaysia pun ada ladang teh. Kasik chance ler mak-mak ni semua posing dengan topi pengutip teh.

nak gak merasa pakai topi tu

tak tau pokok apa. I just took the picture cause it pretty =)

this lady is showing us how they dry the tea leaf. Panas kuali tu. Selamba jer dia guna tangan dia.

tea master teaching us the right way to hold the tea cup and different type of teas.

Later kitaorang singgah sebentar at Guilin's biggest park which is Seven Star Park.

tapi sebab semua dah kepenatan we only jalan-jalan dalam 10 minutes jer dalam park ni.

Tengok blogger lain pi holiday sikit punya cunlah. Ada tu siap pasang bulu mata pelesu lagi. Muka I pulak pucat semacam.

tapi bila sampai kat Jade Store ni terus segar my aunties hahahahaha

ramai manusia dalam ni. Masing-masing nak beli jewellery. Since most of the sales assistant don't speak english and we don't speak chinese so macam ayam dengan itiklah. Easiest way is they show you the price on their calculatur and you bargain pun type kat calculator.

bargain jangan tak bargain sebab kalau tak derang letak harga tinggi.

I tak derlah membeli any jewelleries sebabnya I tak minatlah jade and diamonds ni melainkan orang nak kasi present =P

kapal dibuat dari Jade. Sebenarnya tak boleh ambik gambar hehehe tapi guard lambat ler. Kitaorang dah habis posing baru dia tegur.

My cousin and I dah boring jer sebabnya bawak kitaorang pergi tgk barang-barang yang kitaorang tak minat. We want gadgets...gadgets tau tak?

Last-last dah petang sikit sementara nak tunggu dinner, our guide bawak kitaorang pergi Weixiaotang Mall. Mall ni macam Sogo gituh. My dad actually bought a few collar t-shirts dalam mall ni quite cheap dalam 39 Yuan which is about RM20 each.

Tapi barang-barang lain macam kasut Crocs and the electronic gadget harga sama macam kat Malaysia.

Penat sungguhlah day 3 ni sebab banyak tempat yang kitaorang pergi. Dari Mall tu nak berjalan ke bas kitaorang punyalah jauh. Feel like nak pitam pun ada and kaki macam nak tercabut. >.<

Malam tu kitaorang semua dah surrender lepas dinner masing-masing dah tak sanggup nak keluar shopping dah. LOL.

So that's our day 3. Satu lagi episod ya....coming soon =)

P/S: 11 hari dah kita berpuasa ya....Alhamdulillah
