Day Six - 30 Aug 08

Sixth! Woke up early to have our breakfast in the canteen. first time trying their man tou. bitter and sour taste that it doesn't suits our liking. It's also rather big that we can't finish.

It's been a long day today, had our city tour to the Hubei Provincial museum and Huang He Lou. An eye-opener for us as we get to know more about Wuhan's history and the building structures of long long time ago that we could only see in the TV shows.

This was taken when we are waiting for the bus to fetch us and it's a rainy day today. again ):

In the bus, with Clar, Willis and Teck Yi.

And this lady here is our tour guide for today. (:

Reached the Hubei Provincial museum and it was big. Pictures taken inside the museum.

This is the Chinese characters in regardless of tortoise shell, bronze script, classical chinese writing, small seal script, Qin official script, offical script and to the regular script which we are writing now. Rather interesting as we know how the Chinese words slowly transform and become the words now.

Below is the bronze scope which people used last time.

I like this, this is their pillow made of bamboo. Imagine this was used by the people like us now, nothing but complains we gave. How facinating that people from last century or even last last century used bamboo pillow to sleep on, but now we are using soft pillow to sleep.

Yes, this is the wig. But it's kinda scary when you realised that was unearthed from Tomb.

The horses and warriors during their was time.

I love jumping shoots. But before i become conscious, the picture behind me is the tomb2.

And... it's photo-taking time in the big lobby! :D

I guess, we are happy. (:

This was taken at the balcony and we are pointing to the dragon.

Finally, we had our lunch at Shou Yi Garden Snack Street.

The glutinous rice is good!

They tried the tang bao (:

Our last destination, Huang He Luo.

I bet this is the wooden chair which was sat by the bride and been carried to the house last time (:

Basically there's a story for this "ting yuan". This was built to memorable Li Bai (the famous poet), because as he was the best poet, however he come across to the poet who wrote that excellent poem that he thinks that he can't compare to him and will never write anymore better poems than the guy (I can't recall what's his name) that he decided to stop writing.

This is the poem that Li Bai thinks that he can't compare that. Can't see clearly? Below is the zoom-in version. :D

These are the unique stones that the shape of it is natural and not man-made.

There. The Huang He Tower.

The ticket to enter.

The view from the 2nd storey. Amazing isn't it.

Both of them bought the big pencil (:

And, p-i-c-t-u-r-e-s again!

It was real windy in the upper storeys (there's total of 6 storeys). Too windy and plus the rain, it's duper cold.

The view from 5th storey. The big bell is the "Qian Xi Zhong". Goong the goong and you'll be blessed. (:

The amount of money people throw and try their luck to aim into the bronze cup.

With the goong. (:

And, that was Team D, team D, and team D again! :D
Lastly, pictures for the day. Thanks to Shiuan! (:

Weather is a no-no. Walking in the rain with slippers on the road is a bad thing.
Collide the pictures and found that I look rather retard with the hat on.. Enjoyed myself today with lots of revelation. There's shopping tomorrow!

CIAO!
*and i spent my whole 3 hours on this entry!
