Macau/GuangZhou 5D4N trip - Day4

First destination today... 珠江...

Opposite 珠江 is 星海音乐厅... so as usual... photo...the main building is shaped as a piano....

and there is this statue outside... so.... you know what I gonna do next right? *wink*

Man made waterfall... I have no idea why we were brought to this place.. Nth special to me... maybe there is really nth much to visit in GuangZhou~ not too sure :P

and this very big field opposite the waterfall...

After dinner... it's shopping time... yay~

Have a look at the stuffs I bought within 1.5 hours... hee!~ in case some of you are interested.. let me share about the price too... the dress on the right... rmb50 each... t-shirt in plastic rmb35.... black color t-shirt rmb10.. black color short pants rmb35.... jeans rmb20... brown miniskirt rmb20... umbrella rmb25... socks rmb2 per pair....most of the things you will need to bargain... never afraid to try... even they already label as best price or no bargain... try your luck... pretend to walk away... most of them will call you back...

Today we din get to go to a lot of places... as nearly 1/3 of the group fall sick and were admitted to hospital... wasted a lot of time waiting and sending them back and forth... so one advice... take good care of yourself if you are travelling during summer... drink plenty of water... we can easily fall sick due to the sudden hot(outdoor) and cold(indoor, bus) environment....

I will not blog about day5, as we wasted the whole day waiting outside hospital... to get an official letter from the hospital.. to certify that tour mates that admited to hospital were not affected by H1N1... tired.... but its a good experience...

NEVER GO TRAVEL WHEN THERE IS INFLUENZA!!

Macau/GuangZhou 5D4N trip - Day3

Today we went to a temple... the "wong fei hung" muzium is inside... 黄飞鸿纪念馆to be exact.. :D

The main entrance...

Locals doing some prayers... erm.... you make a wish and then you hang the cloth there...

Statue of master 黄飞鸿....

Lion dance.... I guess Malaysia lion dance is much more nicer...

Status of Ip Man... 叶文.... Bruce Lee's kungfu master....

Then we went to a place selling tradiational chinese "paper cut" 剪纸. Students doing work...

For sale....

We then had our lunch at Asia largest buffet restaurant.. something like tat... a lot of varieties... but too many ppl.... some of the food you will need to queue for ages before you can get it... and too bad they do not allow us to take picture when inside... so.. no pictures.... I personally dun really like this... its too big... and you waste your time walking to get food and back to your table... even toilet will need to queue for long... I still prefer Jogoya though....

The last tourist spot for today is 宝墨园. This is a very very beutiful place.. if you have got time.. then can spend some time explore the whole area... a lot of local ppl here too...

The entrance...
Even the shop inside looks so cute...
weather just nice.... not hot as there are a lot of trees and shelters....

I kind of like this picture... :)
took this picture because of the flowers... hee...

And.. not to forget.... funny pictures of the day....

must do some kungfu when you are so near to 黄飞鸿.... haha... syiok sendiri...

My sissy brother.... =P

The first place to visit after breakfast.... 珠海渔女.. there is actually a story behind this... some kind of love story... google about it if you are interested.. lets go directly to the pictures...
this is a must visit spot... its landmark for 珠海...
Next we came to this 石景山公园... its a place for local ppl to walk walk and exercise... you can omit this place if you are going for free and easy... we need to pay RMB50 per person to get a cable car ride up to the hill top... and then come down with toboccan...

The cable cars....

The hill top... scenary so so... no wow factor...
toboccan.. I would rate this the most excited part lar... its much more faster than Genting toboccan... good!

Lunch at a very nice restaurant.... the food are nice too...
And bought some big and round Chinese peaches... smell nice... juicy... but taste.. so so lar.. almost tasteless... not as sweet or sour as what I expected...
A place which selling and promoting chinese tea...
and visited the long heard 茅厕
We were brought to this 孙文公园... family photo at the main entrance.... nice kan~
Climbing up the stairs.... can see that the main road is so wide and straight..

Finally we reached the statue... its so hot that we straight away cabut once pictures taken...

Tried the very famous local dessert... 双皮奶 translation to English will be "double layer milk"?? at the oldest and most famous shop... 李禧记.... I like this dessert... sweet and smooth.. and its so milky~~

The last place we went today was 顺峰牌坊 I dunno what it calls in English... anywhere.. this a very big garden... but too bad we were following tour... so we only have enough time to take some pictures at the entrance.. but do not have the chance to walk through the entire area...

Me and my sis at the main entrance...

Nice scenary...
Just to show how China car plate number is like :D

Macau/GuangZhou 5D4N trip - Day1

I went for a family trip last week, too lazy to organize the picture... sorry for the long wait.. here comes the very first post about the trip.... To make it more easy reading, I had decided to blog about this trip base on a day by day basis...

So.. Day1... we reached Macau... and spent our day there.... Really nth very interesting in Macau I could say.... only casino.. casino and casino..

The very first attraction we went... the golden lotus.. lotus is city flower of Macau.... look kinda similar to the one in Hong Kong... gifted by the China government to Macau...

We were then brought to a shop which sell famous local biscuits.. kinda similar with HongKong too.. maybe only the size is different.. I was surprise that we were not brought to the more famous shop like 咀香园 or 鉅记 but to this 澳门老饼家. What made me more surprise is like... the price... I was later found out that the more famous shops selling the same thing at a much lower price...say.. HKD10 difference for a same packet of pork floss wafer...

Nevermind that since i din buy any... and now its lunch time.... food are nice...
after lunch.. we went to the most famous historial spot... 大三芭... its a piece of wall left over from war... this piece of wall is actually the landmark of Macau... We had to walk few minutes to reach there is no place for a bus to park.. and the road is too small...
and while walking...I spot this car... which full of soft toys.. hahaha....

Finally I reached...the wall...
Shophouses nearby... as I am following tour.. too bad the tour guide never allow us to have a walk there... if you are going free and easy... you can never miss this place...

We then went to The Venetian... one of the famous casino in Macau... there is a hotel.. a shopping complex.. beside the casino... the shopping place is designed as the Venetian... Maybe First World Genting is a smaller version of this? haha... but this is far more beutiful...

The river... the boat ride is expensive.. HKD250 per person if I remember correctly...

The performances....


and if you are there.. not to forget to pay a visit to the washrooms...
The very grand casino...too bad we are not allowed to take picture in casino... as usual... the casino is very spacious... not "smoky" like Genting too....

and now... time to sleep....
to be continued...
