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! =)
