Day 3 in Shanghai!

3rd day in China, where we started the day off in Suzhou! We went to Han Shan Temple, which the famous Tang Bohu wrote a poem about this temple!

Heh, today is the day where i took a lot of photos which I personally like it a lot! :)

outside the temple.  







 getting into the temple



dad was paying for the tickets to ring the chimes for all 6 of us. each ticket is RMB$5, well, it's worth it, afterall it's not like SGD$5!

























 we spend close to an hour here (i guess?) before we head off to the next destination! photos after here is all taken while I'm on bus.





















arriving at the most boring place I've ever been for this trip - Silk Factory. why boring? We spend close to 2 hours staring at the silk with nothing more than silk silk silk, price tag price tag price tag. no worms, no demonstrations, NOTHING.

 photo above is taken when we are going to enter the factory, whereas photo below is after we left the factory and going for lunch. My mum were expecting their 苏州点心, which turned out to be peanuts and those snacks. I think they make it up. Cos when my mum asked the waitress where is the dimsum, there were snacks on our tables, and the waitress look and went "wait, let me ask".  it's like if the peanuts and snacks were their dim sum, the waitress would have been able to point it out to us instead of saying "wait, let me ask". then she asked another waitress (Who is her superior or something), she was quick in reacting by telling us, "oh, the peanuts and those snacks were the dim sum". -____-and then the tour guide came in and say yes yes, that is their snacks. sneaky much right? their food were salty, which is common because they prefer salty food. well, i ate nothing more than the rice. their rice is really yummy!



after our meal, we went to Wuzheng Three Kingdom Place, where it's built to film the shows. heh, pretty enjoyed here with my mass spam of photos.











the poor guard who can't move/talk for hours, he was there from the time when we just arrived until the time when we leave. easy but boring job i would say.
























after entering the place and finish our toilet breaks, we sat on the tram and travel to the centre of the place. photos below were taken while on the tram.





we alighted somewhere around here and tour the place in our leisure time.





























with that, we got on the tram again (nope nope, not tram by horse) to get to the riverside and sit on a ferry to get a hang of how it feels to be in Taihu on boat.



















 it was just for a while and it feels scary, like there's no end to it, and we are entering into another dimension or something! after that, we head off to the last activity in the place, which is the three kingdom act, where they used real horses.









after the show, it's time for us to leave for a leisure time in Li Hu, a awesome place which makes me really tempted to visit this place again!

















toy poodle?









































the sunset was actually way better than in the photos, and well, obviously much bigger. It was really huge to me because I have never seen the sun in such big size! Then we went to have dinner at one of the restaurant which is really very sweet. Wuxi's folk have really sweet tooth, like they really love to have everything with sugar in it! After having dinner, we went to their shopping malls. Wuxi has no night markets because it's banned there, so they have only supermarkets and shops in shopping malls. And their stuff are not at all cheap.


he he cute but didn't get it!


gross huh! I kept snapping photos of all these and then there's this staff inside the supermarket and she asked me why do I spam photos of such things. My answer? Cos I couldn't find all this in Singapore heh!
