Guangzhou Day 2
My camera died halfway so most of the photos are from my brother's DSLR. We changed hotel the next day as our current hotel was seriously too shabby for anyone to live in! >< Travelled to 'Tanwei' via the metro to where our new hotel was located! It was still too early to check in so we had brunch at the Dim sum restaurant beside the hotel! The dim sum looked really good but didn't get to eat much as almost all the dim sums had prawns in it. :( The porridge there was heavenly i swear! (but maybe because the weather was cold)
Checked in the hotel after dinner! The hotel is called 'JIBANDAO' and is just situated beside the metro, which is very convenient for us! ^^ Went to the little village nearby after brunch to explore a bit. Don't know what is it called but we had a take a bus down. It was apparently the 'town' of that area! Lots of food and the place was good for people watching. Spent quite some time over there before taking the metro over to 'Wushan' for dinner! Bro had an attachment in the university there before so he knew his way around yay! Dins was good but I didn't take note of the shop name ahhh! >< There are alot of eateries there! Took the same line down to 'Chigang Pagoda'. Here is a short description of it which I got from google if anyone is interested? Hahahaha.
(Chigang Pagoda was built over four hundred years ago in 1619 during the time when Fengshui influences were pervasive. It is said the two towers were built at the mouth of the Pearl River to bring good luck to the Guangzhou city area. The tower is a octagonal shape tower and stands at 53.7 m. The floor has a diameter of 12.5 meters and the tower is made up of 9 exterior floor sections. Inside the tower, it consist of 17 layers which keeps the 9 sections together.)
Impressive huh. I'm glad that I managed to catch the 400 hundred years old tower live! Loitered around there for some photo taking! It was a breathtaking place, and the wind was blowing like nobody's business! I'm pretty sure that kids could get blown off if they did not hold on to their parents.
