China Part II *-^

At Hangzhou West Lake.... really scenic....This picture is more to capture the shadows of the trees in the water....My wonderful tour-mates.... you should click on the picture to enlarge it. haha....At LeiFeng Ta (pagoda). This pagoda was constructed as it was being ruined. Took lotsa picture on its history. but lazy to upload.... but it's really cool inside. There's lift to take u to fourth floor. and from fourth to fifth floor(the highest), forgot u getta climb the stairs.Me at the signboard. enough said...Hubby among the autumn foliage...In Hangzhou, the Longjing tea plantation is also pretty famous... They claimed that Westlake Longjing tea is one of the best... but the price is also super-ex... but my first time to a tea plantation though... but I must admit their tea is really fragrant and nice.This pair of hairy crab tells us that I'm in Wuzhen. a small town that looks like Venice of the East to me. The town is really like those old "wu xia" show. the below pictures will tell u why. Anyway, my 1st time eating hairy crabs... It's for those who like crab roe. so nay, it's not for me. Expensive and not much flesh. But compared to those in SG, it's considered pretty cheap for its size liao. that's what hubby said. This is Wuzhen in the morning. We reached there at 9pm. and we couldn't wait to explore the place in the morning.
This pic was taken before we left Wuzhen... I must say the stay is too short. Should stay one more night. Do go there if you have a chance. You feel like you are staying in "ke zhan" aka Inn like those gongfu show. One Inn has around 7 rooms. And there really is a landlord for each inn!!! How amazing yah?


The houses are alongside the river. It really gives you the Venice feeling. haha... but at a cheaper cost.
At our side is something like those inns that we stayed in. When we went out to explore at night, the door will creak when you open and close it. And it was really silent outside.




There's really so much more pictures but I can only upload so much. Cont'd to next blog...
