Day 6- City Tour

Today, my roomates and I woke up at 6am for the city tour. We had to gather at 7.15am. Most of us were dead tired because we slept so late last night.

Throughout the whole tour, there was a tour guide who introduced to us the places and the stories behind them. Actually, I found the stories rather interesting.. The first stop is the East Lake. The place just looks like a china park.. but pretty nice place.


The next stop is the museum. Something I was actually looking forward to :)

There was a tour guide in the museum to bring us around. She spoke quite good english and I could understand the artefacts better as she explains.

A plate used by Qin Shi Huang. It's yellow because Huang= Yellow. And the butterflies represent love.

After the whole tour around, we get some time off for free and easy in the museum. So we went to the Italian museum and the museum shop.

Next stop was Lunch! Great food in a restaurant! Here's just one of the many dishes:

After a good meal, it's time to climb the Yellow Crane Tower! Here is just the entrance of the place:

A huge bell opposite the yellow crane tower. Have to pay to ring the bell.

We climbed about 184 steps all the way up to the highest floor.

After the good workout, we went shopping. But the place that they brought us sold mostly sports stuff and they're branded (Eg. Nike, Puma, etc.) so didn't buy anything because they were quite expensive. We were dead tired during the shopping. Felt like my legs were going to break. Haha.

So, that was the last stop for the day. Headed back to the hostel and bid farewell to our tour guide.

Soon after that, made my way with Letty, Melissa and Kimberley to Macs outside school. Actually, the walk is long!! It's like walking from home to the park! So fit, right?? :D

So, after Macs, went back hostel and rest! :)

Reflection

Today, I enjoyed the museum tour the most because I've always been interested in these chinese artefacts. And, we get to ask the tour guide some qns. :) Learned a lot about chinese culture in that trip. Like what dragons represents, what deer represents and the way people in the past do things. It was an eye-opener to me. And the tour guide was well prepared and she was ab;e to answer most of our questions.
