A Trip to China

Ahh, imagine the cold windy weather, a beautiful scenery with a balanced ratio of mountains and lakes, how lovely!!! Yeap, last week was a long holiday because it was Deepavali and Hari Raya... I took leave from college for 2 days and went to Jiu Zhai Gou, Chengdu for one week. First day we left for the airport at 2.45am in the morning (28th oct), didn't sleep before that, there are about 60 people in our tour group, separate into two groups, me and my family and my aunty, uncle and cousin are in group A, the tour guide quite leng chai oh! =p We sat a chartered plane - Thai Sky Airlines (cheap airline!) which stops at Bangkok for transit then continue to Chengdu... about 3 and a half hours overall...

Our journey in China is starting from Chengdu - Dead Sea - Leshan - Mt Emei - Chengdu - Mianyan - Jiu Zhai Gou - Shen Xian Chi - Maoxian - Chengdu... Chengdu is the city of Sichuan... Nothing much about it, then Dead sea is where they pump up the salt water from Dead Sea underground and we soak ourselves in an indoor pool. In Leshan we visit the tallest Buddha statue in the whole world. In Mount Emei we visit 2 temples - boring! Mianyan nothing, just overnnight there only... The main trip is to go Jiu Zhai Gou... I tell you the place is absolutely brilliant and beeeaauuuttiiifffuulll!!!! It's pollution free and the sceneries were perrrfect!!! The lakes were sooo blue and clear! And i saw snow!!! So purely white!!! Look at the waterfall...

Even the buses they use are very high standard one... brings as less pollutions as possible... normal buses cannot go into JZG... In Shen Xian Chi we climbed 300 over steps to see a...... pond... Oklar, same as what we saw in JZG... In Maoxian we sit cable car for 1 hour which is a TOTAL waste of time seeing nothing...

My parents said that it's not worth it because they include so many optional itinery inside... and expensive ones!!! Then the organizing also not good... We went for this cultural show, panda watching, and an opera show... Oklar, but just felt unfair because why they can't include those inside the package since those are the famous things in Chengdu! Then not biasa with the food there cuz spicy and cold! Haha, we had a chance to eat Sichuan steamboat... also ok ok only...

Haha, oklar, sleepy already... continue next time... ciaoz!
