we visited the magnificent Brahma Palace.  The entry ticket is included in the trip package  so I'm not sure how much does it cost, maybe around RM200. The floor and wall are made of marble,  so we had to wear clothes shoes to cover our shoes so that it will not scratch the marble. The cost of building this palace is 14 billions, but it generates 10 billions per year for China's economy. So this is definitely a good earning for China! Everything is breathlessly beautiful inside the Palace.  even the toilet is so luxury like a hotel's toilet!

We ride the mini car to explore around the place of Buddha palace. Notice the huge Buddha hand? yes it is very very huge!

We went to a tea village!  There are many processes in cooking tea! Now i know they have to cook it thrice, which is why there are three cooking pot shown in the pictures! and there are so many grades of tea, grade A, AA and AAA.  Of course the grade AAA is the most expensive! They introduced the Long Jing Tea to us,  the tea that royals used to drink in China in the past. although now everyone can drink it, yet the price is quite expensive.  it cost few hundreds for 500g! Anyway, Long Jing is a type of green tea,  but its' from China and from higher quality so the price is so expensive. They are taught us to eat the tea leaves,  and i find it pretty nice to chew the tea leaves.

Another ship riding trip again this time is at the West Lake! There are willow trees and blossoming flowers around the lake. The ship is also very special, although not big, but the shape is with a dragon head and tail.

Lei Feng Tower (as translated from Chinese) is the tower  which the white snake is jailed by the monk Fa Hai. This tower has a story of whereby a snake monster  which turns into a lady named the White Lady who met a man named Xu Xian  and they get married.  Later a monk named Fa Hai came and told Xu Xian that his wife is a monster  and gave him a wine to test his wife. Although Xu Xian doubt the monk,  yet he let his wife drank the wine and she turned into a snake.  The monk then captured the weaken White Lady who turned into a snake  and jailed her in the Lei Feng Tower.

Pretty flowers in China! there are even Cherry Blossoms! Feel like in Japan eh? :D

Thousand Islands?  the thousand island sauce we used to make salad with mayonnaise?  No!  It's an area of mountains which was intentionally flooded by the government of China  so that the top of the mountains will appear on the man-made lake  and becoming thousand of islands on the lake!  Oh I see~~ Actually we arrived at Thousand Islands at night, so the boss of our company trip,  the boss of Sorento complained that what's the point of getting the lake view room since it was so dark that we can't even get the view and the next morning we have to rush in the early morning to get the ship!  Yes indeed :( well bad arrangement tour guide. So this is the lake view we captured from our hotel room and we were late to take breakfast just to capture these pictures! Rushing Rushing Rushhh~ Gorgeous view, right? :D next we are on the way to take the ship! one of the island: the fishing island where you can fish the f...

So after taking cable car to reach the middle of the mountain  and then climbing for almost 2hours,  we finally reached the hotel called XiHai, which means West Lake hotel.   It was a tiring yet fun journey to climb from the East to the West. However, the tour guide should have considered the health status of the elders in our trip. It was an exhausting climbing activity, nevertheless the view at the mountain was magnificent. As we climbed up the mountain to reach our hotel, we too have to climb back down from the mountain! Oh dear~ luckily the weather is cold and comfortable, even after climbing for almost 2 hours, i hardly sweat. However, the weather is so cold that I kept sneezing. Afterall, i have been sick since before coming to China,  and I had to climb with my sickness of flu, cough and sore throat.  Yet I feel way better than the elders, the road are really too far and too hard for them to climb. So when we reached the s...

It's my first day in China today! also, my first time to oversea~ So we arrived at Shanghai airport. It was freezing cold! Only at 4 degree Celsius!  Well the weather forecast stated it would be at 15, but hey! it's at 5 degree Celsius !?  So we had to put on our very thick and warm jacket before we get onto the bus. and there we were, 3 hours on the travel bus before we reach out destination. Our first destination is to Huang Shan. It's a magnificent mountain in China. Very artistic and natural mountain. However, the mountains in China are dead mountains unlike Malaysia's evergreen mountains.  The mountains are covered with rocks and usually animals would not reside in these mountains. There are 3 unique and very popular pine trees in the pictures.  The first is the very powerful tree, or i should use the word "MAN" to describe it.  The tour guide even joked that girls should not take too many pictures of this tree  other...
