GuiLin Day 4

It was a fun time in the morning at the Merryland Theme Park reminds me Disneyland where I've been to Paris the last time when I was a teenager. This theme park including the resort is run by one of the well-known Taiwan company.

Cute farm animals at the park.

I bought 2 soft toys from that place. Cheap nia. Too bad only have fun there for only 2 hours because after that have to go to the next destination.

Went over to Yang Shuo. Aikz wish I could have enough time to have fun at the Merryland Theme Park. I feel like a small kid again. XD

In the middle of the journey, stop by at ShangriLa where get to know different minorities.

Ladies doing some knitting and sewing

A whole lot of rice wine

Did buy some souvenirs.

Reached the hotel. Had dinner. Went to watch the cultural performance "Impression of Liu San Jie". Some of you might know the movie "LiuSanJie" which is produced by Zhang Yi Mou. This performance is performed by the local villagers and fishermen.

The stage is actually at the big lake. I mean open space. Meaning performance on water.

Cute little girls singing

That's the end of the day.

Day 5 coming soon.

GuiLin Day 3

Woke up, packed my bags, and had breakfast.

Took this picture before going back to GuiLin. 3-4 hours journey eh. No joke. Sleep in the bus the whole time. XD

After the long journey, had the usual lunch set by the local tour guide.

Before going to the FuBo Hill, mom bought fruits.

The fruit that I like from China is

Peach!! Well, it's nice and crunchy.

Went to Bao Shu Tang. I've been to this kind of place many times in China. Normally, the stuff would do is intro some of the products. There's also the demonstration on burn the hand and put the cream. Then, 5-10 minutes later the hand is heal. Been there, done that.

It was a nice weather that we told the local guide to postpone the massage to another day and go for sightseeing.

Next stop, FuBo Hill.

It is actually a hill which has a temple for General Fubo. It was build during the Tang Dynasty. 2 km away from Elephant Hill.

This thing used to cook with for providing food for the soldiers.

The entrance to the hill. Very the cooling. ^ ^

Went to climb up the hill and it was really windy. Based on the picture below, that's proof on how windy it is.

Notice that the locals are swimming at the lake. o o

The last scenic place for that day was Elephant Hill (a hill shape like an elephant).

That's the Elephant Hill behind me and my aunt. Look a bit like an elephant right?

Baby elephants

This is call a "wishing tree". It's like the old tradition where you write down on the paper or small wood plank based on what you want to wish and gain.
