my 1st outing

hello there people... today i went out on my own for a sight seeing trip...

i only have one word in my mind as i walked around the park... wow... i am falling in love with this place... but it was raining... ok, let's start from the beginning...

i woke up, surfed the nest for awhile then, went to breakfast... afterthat i took my winter jacket and left th hotel... and yes, it's raining... no, not those rain you find in KL, it's soft and soothing, not to mention cooling too... well, initially i thought i want to walk to the Bao's Tomb, not too far from the hotel, but since it's raining, and you know how good my sense of direction is, so i decide to take the taxi... nice lady driver... paid rmb 6, pretty cheap huh? so she dropped me of at the entrance of the tomb... i walked in the place, and bought a ticket for rmb 50, also very cheap... the 50 is for entrance to 4 place... the tomb, the pagoda, the memorial temple and floating city... the lady told me that if i buy a all park (sounds like Genting ler?) ticket you save about rmb 25, so i said ok, i'd buy the all parks ticket...

1st stop, the lord bao's tomb... you know, it is amazing, he is such a great person/judge, that everyone loved him... i think after all that he has done for the people, he deserved to be honoured that way... in this tomb, there was his grave, and also the grave of his wife and children and grandson... and there were also a coffin chamber... the chamber, they don't let us take photos... when i get back, be sure to catch me to see more pictures...

and after that the tomb, i went to the pagoda, qinfeng is it's name... well, the pagoda has a few stories, 2 under and 6 above... the underground has lots of patung of none other that the justice, and the patungs shows events that has happened before... there were some dialogues as well, but as if i can understand.... and the above ground, nothing much, except so paintings on the wall, etc... there was a giant lord bao patung also... near the main entrance... aiyo, dunno what is wrong the pagoda photo won't load...

after the pagoda, i went to the floating garden, or floating city, i also cannot remember la, but the view, wow!!! beautiful... i won't be typing so much on this garden, i'll let you see for yourself... but i'll try to upload later... i've been trying for over an hour... getting tired already...

the rest of the day, i'll save it for later... ok, see you, i'll try again later, and see if i can share some photos with you...
