Guilin Pt 3

Day 3: So we embarked on the 4 hours ferry ride along the Li river. A lot of pple say that if you haven to the Li River, means that you haven been to Guilin. The scenery along the route was nice…but it could be nicer, if it hasn’t been that foggy or polluted. Its hard for me to explain the experience, you have to be there to feel it. But I strongly dun recommend a 4 hours ride coz it gets a bit boring after some time, coz the most scenic places are only concentrated at the mid stream. So the boring us got down to play cards on the deck..as usual…

the pier....there are so many ferries and so many pple....

the couple in the foreground of the pic made a big big nuisance by quarreling loudly with the tour guide...and someone sitting behind us even shouted "ma4 de2 hao3!!!!"...china pple really love to quarrel

the ferry buying supplies of fishes and prawns from the small boat..

this pic appears on the back of the 20 RMB note...

the tour guide told us..." 想象想象..越想就会象..不想什么都不象"....and "70% depends on imgination..30% depends on...fate (i say one)"..haha...so can u see an old man face on the mountain? can u see a mother and her child?

the 9 horses mountain...can u spot the 9 horses???if u can u r really a talent..

the hill tt looks like a brush...

the hill tt looks like guanyin statue...

playing cards on the deck....and i lost all games..cui-ed=(

After we disembark, rushed off for our short sightseeing in Yang Shuo City before we set off for the airport. The tour guide for our sightseeing is so nice. She knows tt we are going to catch our flight at 9pm and she took the initiative and help us arrange for transport back to the airport and help us bargain..All these done without us even requesting her to help us do. So nice of her. And the best part is, we wanted to give her some tips and she refuse to collect and passed to the driver of our transport instead…First time someone refuse tips in china siaz…really respect her to the max…So…tts concludes the Guilin trip…Must say adventurous trip for me, esp coz I did not do ANY research before going there, and the encounter with the nasty cab drivers and the nice bellboy n tour guide just make this trip more happening…..

Looking forward to my next china trip…..
