Towards the final day, from Zhou1Zhuang1, off we went to Shanghai boasted to be busiest n most vibrant city in Mainland. Well hold on, did i blindly say boasted? Uh, then indeed i wud be jus like the ‘frog under a coconut shell’(Muhammadou Yong, i knoe u understand this)..It took us about an hour driving distance from where we were. Stepping on Shanghai, gosh..had completely wiped away my previous tenacious doubt of China’s vast developement. In fact, its booming vast!! It left me agaped for moments when i saw creepy high sky-craperssss mushrooming that piece of land. ZhuYin felt amused of how i’ve reacted, but i cannot hold it. Its really crazie madly vibrant than i tot before. Can’t believe tat’s happening in China which jus had their Open Policy a mere 20 years back!

Count n see, how many layers of skyways..tat’s not the only one..lotsa’ em!

One of the famous street with one famous temple, can;t really rmr..Aih, really bad in Mandarin names. Was really happening here.

Finally, I’m here in ShangHai.

Folks!Especially same age as mine..This where the hotel where movie series ’Once upon a time in ShangHai’ or Shang4Hai3Tan1 was shot. ChowYunFatt was shot dead here..hehe..

Up in the Pearl Tower..Imagine tat eagle sight from above tat tower had 7-8 times more this pieces of developed land, and according to sources, these vast metaphorical changes happened within 16 years!! N Pearl Tower only need 3 years to gain the net profit for the whole buildup cost..Crazie!!!

Part of the vibrance in NanJing Road in ShangHai…Stil Bukit Bintang huh?

We shud be proud of tat building, the left one i mean. Tat’s Shangrila Hotel, our very on Msian owner. Standing jus a stone throw away from Pearl Tower in fact. Been inside, n its ravishingly superb! Proud wei..

Tat’s sums up my tour in ShangHai, n also China. We took bullet train bac to HangZhou to Shanghai..Was rushing like mad. N i’ve also took the subway in ShangHai. There’s around 12 lanes under the subway!!! We hav only RapidKL n Putra line, KTM forcefully can la..But they hav 12!!N i met a Msian friend who’s currently studying in Shanghai on my way bac, n she told me tat when she was there 3 years ago in Shanghai there’s only 3-4 lanes. In 3 years only…it picked up so fast!!…

Overall, i did enjoy myself along my stay in China for 6 days. Was indeed packed, tat seems to deviate of my main purpose of visiting China. feel bad in a way..hehe. Lotsa obstacles along the trip especially the language barrier, but hey..im picking up fast wei, of course dog-tired journeys tat require us to walk n walk n walk like nobody’ business, but am not complaining if looking at my friends who wen to India.hehe..

Eating is essence..food there..uh no comment. I tot tat was YaoMing. YaoMing’s like god there..n also LiuXiang.

I bought the wrong one, tot it was mineral water..looks like but foolish me, dunno mandarin..its soda actually.

last but not least, let me take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Miss.ZhuYin for ur patience dealing wit my Mandarin along the way, translating wat u knoe of , and tolerating the ‘music of the nite’..lol..and also on top of it ur hospitality. Will never forget this trip, was indeed a GREAT one! =)

It was totally gratifying! to backpack around in China. Though jus a mere 3 days, but it was really power-packed wit fun. Together wit a new CBC, China-born-Chinese friend,ZhuYin, both of us travelled almost if not all, the favourites of attraction in south-west China namely SuZhou, ZhouZhuang and of course ShangHai. Hell lucky am I, tat i hav ZhuYin around wit me, or else i’ll die unnoticed in China as everything’s in Chinese brushstroke characters, n pls, for god’s sake, never trust the England words in translation of their chinese words, or else u’ll die laughing rolling in China XD.

From LingAn, we travelled down to Su3Zhou1 wit local bus which took us,  according to ZhuYin its not far, near which in the end took up nearly 4-5 hours. Oh yea, ppl in China has high tolerance of travelling patience. Probably their country is too huge, n its already their routine to travel around places which for us are really far away. We kept asking for direction along the way, n always in return they will answer, not far la, very near which ended up walking blindly for half an hour to an hour,crazie..

Anyway there is this saying among the local ppl tat ‘up the sky there’s paradise,  but down the earth there’s SuZhou n Hangzhou’. So guess it explains all, how heavenly are these places. I wud had agree to tat. Su3Zhou1, famous for the lengluis which prolly lifted it up to standard of paradise-on-earth..xD and also the historical Ming and Qing dynasty gardens. Gals there, yes, mostly are pretty. They are more fairer in skin complexion and slimmer comparison to other places. Well, HangZhou ones are not bad as well. Lucky me..hehe. I wen to 3 places  in SuZhou, which i can;t really rmr wat’s its call in Chinese but mostly are gardens worth centuries ago and not forgetting also a place called hu3qiu1 where the only leaning tower in China lies.

It is said that more than a thousand ppl died here..woo~scared to dead..XD

The China Pisa Tower

Su3Zhou1 street, something like our bukit bintang street la..

SuZhou street at nite..

LOL… the garbage is sick one..cannot recover liao..lol..

Peaches everywhere..like apples only..

Zhou1Zhuang1 and Tong2li3 which is adjacent town to Zhou1Zhuang1, on the other hand presented much another dimension of attraction. Both these town are also known as the Eastern Venice, where rivers are plays a much vital role in transportation. We travelled there the nex day after SuZhou by bus and walking which took us nearly 3 hours which was described near la, awhile only…Managed to overnite in one of the street house inside the town which was really great, as i can really appreciate the night view of the town.

Part of journey, we took this trishaw kinda thing, they call it ren2li4che1.(human power car) lol..

There’s always time for syiok sendiri despite short of time, and out wit foreigner.

Nice isn’t it…

Tat’s all for the 2nd day of backpacking. Was indeed more than meets the eye..=)

I am bac to tanahair after 6 days of visit to Mainland. There’s so much to write, imposibble to imprint all the memories here, hell impossible! Initially, I was really looking forward towards this trip , but keep my expectation least as possible, as i knoe my main purpose’s to visit my dad. Off i flew to Hangzhou, adjacent to Ling An, about 40 min driving distance where my dad lives. It was mid-summer when i was there, in fact it is still with average of 30-33 degrees celcius, much similar to our country, but less humid .

Along my stay there, so much of things turned out beyond my expectation which filled my hearty satisfaction to max. Never tot tat my visit this time wud sufficient enough for me to go touring around, which eventually turned out to be an power-packed one. I managed to anticipate my first back-pack experience there, of 3 days n 2 nites from SuZhou–>ZhouZhuang–>Shanghai and bac to HangZhou. N of course touring around LingAn and HangZhou for all the eminent tourist spots.

So i shall start wit HangZhou. HangZhou is a mediocre city in China with status similarly like Ipoh,or Seremban. But the size is already like KL, not only the size but the development elaboration had presented much like Kuala Lumpur, only without Twin Towers and KL tower. Unbelievable?..Better believe it. But hold on the meek, before i tell more bout Shanghai in later part. Hangzhou city is less in vibrancy compared to KL la. Alrite, enuf of saying, Pics paints a thousand words as the saying goes.

Who says i am going to China?? Am on a mission to kill all the predators in requim wei!!!LOL!!!! Its their foreigner pass entrance..England darn powderful man..LOL!!!!

Haha, met this nasi lemak seller gal in LCCT, she’s on her way to Bali wit her family. XD

He2Fang2Jie1, one of the famous street synonym to our Petaling Street.

Jus syiok sendiri

Outside WestLake(Xi1Hu2), a must-go for every HangZhou visitor. Its extravagantly big, i mean the lake. n of couurse, more than tat enriched wit pictoresque sceneries and other satelite spots which unfold lotsa myths and histories worth 10 centuries ago!

Amazing rite?i knoe,esp the ppl XD

The famous lei2feng1 pagoda with myths more than 10 decade ago!The myth of romance of Lady White Snake and a scholar. It was rebuilt last 2 years ago, n cost billions, can’t rmr how much.

Thanx loads mom!!! =)
