DAY 10 12032010 - Yellow Crane Tower, Gu Qing Tai, Zhong San Gong Yuan.

Woke up at 6.30am today. Wash up. Had a chocolate pie before meeting the class and Ms Neo outside the hostel.

Took shuttle bus and sat around 30-40 minutes before reaching the Yellow Crane Tower. While on bus, the tour guide or perhaps the person-in-charge, did a lot of talking about the city, infrastructure and history.


Reached our destination.

Saw a shop related to Chinese surnames. Saw my surname! They did sold some souvenir with your surname printed on it. Unique!

The tour guide seems that she is quite knowledgeable as she seems to know everything. From the history to infrastructure to poems. After which, we took photos as the scenery is very pretty and the air is very fresh.

Went through the entrance and proceed to the yellow crane tower!

Climb flight of stairs and took some group photos and scenery. Saw a very big bell there.


Went into the tower next! The place is very crowded and i can see many tour guide explaining the infrastructure to their groups. The huge portrait the a crane caught our eyes when we first entered the tower.


We then climb upwards to the top of the tower. The tower is five storey high! Climbed till a bit tired :/
Took some photos which i think is quite pretty!

Took a last group photo before leaving for lunch!

NICE!


Went for lunch at a five star hotel. The food taste just like normal, but mostly are pork, so the malays have to request for their food to be halal. Weird that they serve mostly pork. But overall is not that bad, at least i filled my stomach.


After lunch, we went to Gu Qing Tai and a Zhong San Gong Yuan.

Upon arrival at Gu Qing Tai, i had an ancient feel!

Gu Qing Tai is created because of a strong bond of friendship between Zhong Zi Qing and Yu Bo Ya regardless of anything. Many street names and places are also named after them.



After which, photo-taking again!

Jump shot!

After that, we went to Zhong San gong yuan. The scenery there is very beautiful and there is couple of to-be-married couples shooting for their wedding album. Cool! The flowers there is also bloomed and its beautiful! :D

Walk around the park for awhile and we headed to Victoria Coffee Bar and get a drink. Had ice-cream and a drink. Played a game and it is super fun! The ambience and the service provided by them is very good.

Overall, i feel that today is quite a fun day as i got to visit different places and know different things and history behind them. Like for the Yellow Crane tower, i know that they are situated on a snakehill; Gu Qing Tai is built due to the long-lasting friendship between the two. Though their five star hotel serve food which consist mostly pork/meat, which are unhealthy, but i think that some of them still put their health in the first place. An example is the coffee bar that i went to. The ice-cream they serve comes with a lot of fruits! Apple, watermelon and honeydew!

Today is a fun and MEMORABLE day! :D
