Mmm breakfast
After breakfast, we hopped onto the bus for a short ride to a scenic area.
O hai little dove guy!
Peacocks were running around here
Lots of pretty flowers
Got on a boat and rode it across the GIANT lake. That's the reflection from the window if you're wondering what that light on the top left is. The next few pictures are a little murky cuz they're all taken through a window.
I think the boat ride across the lake and back took about an hour. It was huge! After I got back on land and walked around more, came across a pond full of fishies. Lots of fishies!!
They're lucky I don't like seafood.
Willow trees here are beeeautiful
No idea what this is
Sooooo tall
Spotted a wild peacock out in the jungle!! :P
Whoa I never knew there were white peacocks
So gorgeous! I wish it opened up its tail.. but that would mean he's either trying to attract a mate or he's pissed off and will eat me
The colors on this guy.. he looks so over-saturated! So beautiful!
Weenie
Love the trees here. Too bad I'm not a skilled photographer to capture how awesome it looks here!
More fishies!
They swim and flop around on top of each other
Look at that monster one. It's huge!!!
Even more fishies at another pond
I like patterns and repetition :D
Good bye pretty boat place!
Back on the bus with a mysterious snack. "The Star Anse is Crisp" ..alright! Sounds good to me! :P
Next up: lunch
I think this was my favorite meal I've had on the tour. Everything here was spicy!! Mmmm yum. Must be near the spicy part of China :D
After lunch, back on the bus! It was a pretty long bus ride. Good thing there were snacks to keep me company.
Mmmmmm almond cookie. I haven't had these since I was a kid!
More childhood memories! Dunno what this is called though.. it's not that great though but it's not disgusting.
Hangzhou is the silk capital, so the next destination is the National Silk Museum. The silk here feels heavenly. There was a comforter that's 100% silk and it was the softest thing I've ever touched. Feels like clouds! I just HAD to buy it.. but I can't use it until I get married says my mother dearest.. :( Why is that? I wish I knew more about my culture and traditions.
Some old Chinese contraption
They put on a mini fashion show too.
After that, it was time to leave...
Outside of the National Silk Museum
The driver who drove us around for about a week taking us to different cities everyday!
And this is the end of the tour.. so sad :( Got dropped off at the airport and got on the plane back to Guangzhou.. then a 2.5 hour drive back to Taishan. On the bright side, now I can catch up on sleep now since there's no more tour and being forced to wake up so early!
