Day 8/9 - Hezhou->Guangzhou->Singapore
My last post for the trip. You must be tired reading my travel entries by now, hahaa, but no choice. If i did not make an effort to blog them down now, i would forget more than 80% of the stuffs. This is the problem i faced in my past trips. I took too long a time to blog my thoughts down.
==========================================
Our main destination today is the famous Gupo Mountain National Forest Park. The mountain was named after a woman who chose to stay single her whole life.

The route to the mountain is a long one and we had to take a mountain tram in. If you climb higher up the mountain, you get a chance to take the photograph of the waterfall.

En route, we visit the Jiupuxiang Wine factory, we were given a chance to test their herbal wine. Do you recognize this place? It was used in filming in numerous Hong Kong movies/series.


Ah, that’s the end of our China trip.
My feelings about LongSheng/Guilin/Yangshuo:
- Way more advance than Vietnam (i was pretty amazed that i was back to the 80s/90s again after the 2 days in Vietnam. The two countries are linked by a border but the differences are really too great to believe)
- Toilets can be further improved. I was told by tour mates that the toilets have already improved a lot over the years.
- I like the scenic excursions. The air is really fresh.
- Most of the fish served are fresh water fishes.
- I had a taste of the sweetest and freshest vegetables there.
- Traffic condition is way better than Vietnam. At least most of the motorists follow the traffic rules.
Anyway, i would like to thank my China tour guide, Ms Fu, for her interesting stories about Guilin. She taught us a rather interesting word called ‘Gou Rou‘ (a.k.a Dog Meat in Chinese). It refers to good friend.
So if i call any of you Dog Meat, pls dont say i am rude. hahaha!

I might go back to China again in a few years time. Hopefully i will see better toilets next time. By then, i guess it will be more expensive to travel to China. That’s the price to pay for better toilets.
Goodbye China!
