Holiday!!!

Hi people!!! I went to China recently for a holiday and to pay a visit to my china relatives. I first went to shanghai to see my uncle and his family. And got some shots when touring around the city of shanghai. During the first day in shanghai, I went to Yi Yuan a ancient city in shanghai. Here are some of the shots...

People dressed up as ancient characters to attract
customers to buy food like smelly toufu!


And of course I met one of my school mates Lester at the city of Yi Yuan.


And now moving on, after visiting the city of Yi Yuan, I went to Nan Jing road.
where i also got some shots.The place there is very lively one of my favourite spots in shanghai!


Nan Jing Lu(road) this place have lots of departmental stores to shop!


I met this departmental store at Nan Jing road. Whats so special about this? Why? Cause they got Jay Chou, Angela Zhang and Wilber Pan aka Pan Wei Bo (Taiwanese Celebrity) to model their clothes! Best, some of the outfits sold there are specially designed by Jay, Angela and Wilber!

Note: Nan Jing Road have two train stations, Nan Jing Dong Lu and Nan Jing Xi Lu. If you don't want to get lost, I suggest alighting at the Ren Min Guang Chang (people's square) Station which is located in between those two stations. Also be sure to push your way out when alighting and push your way in when boarding, Why!?! cause people there don't give way.

When I am done touring Nan Jing Lu, I went to the Wai Tan Area and went to the Shanghai World Financial Center (which is about 492M) to get a bird's eye view of the Wai Tan Area.

From Left: Shanghai World Financial Center and Jin Mao Da Sha.


On top of the observation deck is a nice view of the Wai Tan Area.


A picture of the Wai Tan Area.

I went to the Shanghai stadium and get a tour to Hangzhou. So I also went to Hangzhou for a few days before returning to Shanghai.
NOTE: The Shanghai stadium have a tour agency located at gate n.o 5 you can get tour to Hangzhou or Suzhou. Getting there by the city train and alighting at the Shanghai stadium station.
Also please avoid people coming up to you and offering you a tour package those people are con-men be sure to enter the tour agency and get a proper tour!!! Those people are located right outside the tour agency entrance.

Here are some of the shots in Hangzhou.

On the first day, I went to the underground river.


Nothing much actually.Its quite dark inside and difficult to find the exit.

When I found the exit, I got to climbed up those steep stairs to get back up to the surface!!!

Later I went on a ride on a water raft.

Nothing much also just viewing the scenery that's all.

And on the second day in Hangzhou, I went to the qian dao hu. Why is it called the qian dao hu? cause those ancient city are submerged in the water due to the dam they build and from a lake which cause the mountain tops to become islands. I just went to only 5 islands theres still a lot more. Here are some of the shots:

This is the entrance to the pier. Gotta take a ferry to go to the islands.

And on some of the islands, one of them is called Snake island and I got a picture with a snake!!!


And on some of the islands, I got to climb even MORE stairs!!!

But all the effort was paid off!!! :)


Now the last and final day in Hangzhou, I went to the ancient city where si ma gung once lived. The city too was submerged underwater by the dam. Who is this si ma gung? You know the guy who took a rock and smashed the enormous water vase to save a kid. Well it is that guy! Heres a figure of him:


And what I did over there well the same as usual climb more STAIRS!!!!

When I reached to the top, there is a splendid view and great air!!!


And the efforts do pay off!

Back in Shanghai after the 3 day 2 nights tour in Hangzhou! I went to the Shanghai Sciene & Teachnology Mueseum station. Why I go there!?! cause there got a plaza called A.P plaza just located at the concoruse level. In A.P plaza, sells lots of fake goods!!! you can get a fake ipod, nike shoes, prada wallet and many more fake stuff. You can even bargain!!! you know ask for a lower price$$$ to buy the stuff you want!!!


Durng my last day in Shanghai, I took the Maglev to the airport station. What is the Maglev!?! well its the world's fastest train powered by magnetic leavitation to gain up to 431km/h. A freakinly fast speed.

This is the Maglev train.
And so the Shanghai and Hangzhou trip ends here.

Hainan island trip!!!


As you can see this is the city of Haikou one of the main city in the Hainan island.

As usual I went climbing again. But this on a dormant volcano!

Thats the mouth of the volcano.


A shrine located at the top of the volcano.
And most of the time spent quarrelling with the neighbours at my maternal grandma's village. Cause those crooks just build their stuff on my grandma's plot of land and that was the first time I saw her that fired up! Don't wanna talk to detail about that.

And so moving on after visiting my cousins in Hainan, I went to Hong Kong!!!
Yeah Man I love HK! Most of the stuff I got are bought there!

On the first day in HK I went to the all famous stanely market to have a look around.



and close by this stanely market is the beautiful Repluse Bay!

Later I went to the victoria peak by tram! Its was awesome and scary cause the tram was like traveling upwards like 55 degree and its horrible when the tram travelled up the steep slope.

This is the tram that I took to the peak.


Some the city of HK on top of the peak.
And also I met a new friend on the peak's Sky terrance!!! His name is Mr GingerBread. -.-ll


Then later at night I went to the famous street called ladies market (nu ren jie) where you can get all kinds of stuff ranging from clothes to shoes and even accessories. Speaking of shoes theres a row of shops located nearby nu ren jie which sells shoes and only shoes. Best of all they are originals vans,nike.addidas,converse,puma and many more branded shoes!!!!


This is the street called ladies market (nu ren jie).

2nd day in HK While I didnt went around HK to explore instead I went to the HK DISNEY LAND
where I did all the fun stuff. Here are the shots:

Character shots:

And not forgetting the parade shots:

There are still more parade photos but I am too lazy too upload them all.

3rd day in HK I went to Lantau island to see the giant buddha. I got there by the nao ping cable car.

Then I went to the central pier.

Why did I went to central pier??? cause I am going to the all famous Nan Ya Dao (Lamma island)! The island where many HK TV actors go there.

At the pier waiting for the entrance to open, I did the most stupidest things of all. By copying from the show nu ren bu yu zuo (womens are not easy to be) and you know there is a part in this show where the guy shouted 'I love you' to the girl boarding the ferry to lamma island. Well that is just what I did over there and got scolded by the security to shut up...... -.-ll well anyways here are the shots taken on lamma island:

This is part of the streets on lamma island. On the right hand side, you can see that there are red and white decorations. That is the little resturant that I went to have my lunch. Whats so good about it??? Cause the first resturant which is close to the jetty is packed full of people plus the food there is expensive. So I went for a little walk and saw this resturant. The food & drink prices are affordable and the desert cakes are sensational. I like the mango cake though also their drinks are very different from those normal resturant, they offer house-made drinks meaning drinks that they create. I loved the Ice Milk Tea why!?! cause they prepared the Ice Milk Tea and gave me a jar of sugar syrup so I can decide how sweet I want my Tea to be!!! How cool is that!
After that fantastic lunch I went to rent a bike and start my lamma island journey!

I went to this bicycle shop and rent 3 bikes you know! and its freakin cheap! HK$40 for 2hrs per bike. Means roughly SGD$7 for 3 bikes rode for 2 hrs! How cool is that unlike singapore.....


I cycled up and down the rocky mountain path wanting to get to the next town...but....I just can't make it it was freakin long and I was out of breath in the end I didnt made it to the next town cause I gotta catch the last ferry which is at 6:45pm!!!
But I got this shot on top of the highest peak. Not bad eh...?
Well I have come to the end of my posting here. Thankyou for viewing my blog and wishing you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy holidays people! :)
