A Date With Wuzhen / Hangzhou (我与乌镇、杭州有约)

Well, I'm back folks!
Sorry for keep you all waiting~
My holiday finished and my school life started again~@>@"
But still, will not stop updating on my posts to you all from time to time! =)

We stopped at day 6 last time~
And let's continue on day 7 today!!
Well, in my previous posts, I did state that I'm staying overnight in the town of Wuzhen~
So, had a good night sleep and here we were the next morning, exploring this small yet historical town~

Hmm, here's some pictures taken by my lil bro who went for a jog earlier in the morning:-

*And it was misty again in the morning!*

*But still, it did not spoil the scene here! =)*


*Aww, love the reflections to max!!*

So, he did returned with some marvellous picha's~
Hmm, not long after that, all of us were ready to explore this town!
But before that, here's some info you need to know about this town of Wuzhen~~

  1. Ranked 4 in the list of top 10 towns and villages in China
  2. Had an eye popping 1200 years of history!
  3. With its black tiled, oil-painted timber framework houses that contrast sharply with its white walls and gray flagging brings to mind a Chinese ink and wash painting, is notable as " home to celebraties".
  4. An tranquil, old style town that will certainly add sparks to our trip this time, quoted from our tour guide~
So, after hearing his comment, 
we didnt took long time in finishing our breakfast~
And soon it was the "Moment of Truth"! XDD
And here's what we got, 

*Starts with a photo in front of the old water wheel

*Followed by a picha's of my lil bro up the bridge =)*

*Up next was a trip to the old walking alley~*

*And with more reflections to come!*
 *Reflection 1*

*Reflection 2*

*Reflection 3*

*Reflection 4*

And right now, I'm seriously believing what the tour guide said?!
Don't you?
And of course not leaving without some photos of the old buildings there~
Here's other picha's to verify your thought! XDD

*At the stairs*

 *A wine shop*

*Some sort of ancient residue in the old times

And with that our journey in this tranquil small town officially ends!
Every sight, every view, will long live in my memory!
Wuzhen is a certainly a good place to live in~
And I think I had certainly found some inner peace of myself here~
Will definitely coming back to here again in the future!
Wuzhen, wait for me! =)

*Locals from the town of Wuzhen~Seing how they share the peacefulness amongst themselves, I vow to come back next time!*

And soon we were on our way out of this little town~
A 5 minute boat ride and officially we bid farewell to Wuzhen!
So, as usual, we were taken to have our lunch before further continuing our journey~
Well, again, Hangzhou was upnext~
But, there's actually not much to do there~
Our journey had almost reached to an end, but still we were taken to a show there before leaving the following day ='(

The title of the show: The Night of Western Lake (西湖之夜)
And this was how it looks like:-

 *Dancers with some pretty costumes doing some dance moves~*

&

 *Some handsome and brave soldiers and generals!*


&

 *Not forgetting some ladies dress like the servants of the emperor or empress perfoming!*

&

*Oops, there were concubines too! Gosh, their outfits were just FANTABULOUS!*

&

 *Of course we can't left out on the acrobats!*

&

 *Here comes the legendary couple of Liang San Po and Zhu Ying Tai*

&

 *Owh, there was some Buddhist monks too!*

&

 *And the eye catching "Thousand Hands of Guanyin (千手观音)* (P/S:Sorry folks, I was sitting at the right hand side of the stage instead of in front of the stage which would gave me direct access of snapping a photo of that)

& Lastly,

*All the perfomers in a variety of costumes bidding farewell to all the spectators!*

Well., thanks for the interesting and colourful show! =)
So, after the 1 hour show was finished, we were brought back to our hotel for some rest~
And that basically concluded two things:-


  1. Day 7~
  2. Our China trip which was a sad thing to said~ ='(
Well, that's all folks~
Do stay tuned for the farewell post from China:-

*Bye China, Hi Again Malaysia!*

Bye folks, and hope you all would not mind to help me to click on those advertisements again before leaving~Thanks! =)
