Day 4 (10/9/11)

We had a city tour today. It was a really long ride to the city. Firstly, we headed to Jinli street to take a look of the history of China. The guide taught us a lot of things about the history. But as I was very tired, I did not give my full attention.

The jinli street was flourished in the Qing and Han Dynasty. Nearby, there is the Wuhou temple museum. The guide showed us around. After that, we headed to the snack street. We tried some of their speacialities. For example, pigeon, “kao rou chuan”, “xiao long bao”, smelly toufu, fried icecream. But we ended up giving into the temptation of fast food. Shared one of the set meals with my friends and went to take public bus to our next destination.

The experience on the public bus was kind of fun. As I was sitting at the back of the bus, the whole ride seems like a rollercoaster ride. In a short while, we reached our destination, huan hua xi gong yuan. Took one of the tram inside the park and rode one round as it was about the rain. As expected, It rained shortly afterwards. We then shared umbrellas and made our way to the museum. Walked around and seen the pottery from long time ago. Those pottery displayed was quite interesting and unique. The craftsmanship was very unique for quite a few pieces.

While waiting for our bus to come, we reminisce our childhood times by playing childhood games. Boarded the bus and back to campus. Took our bikes, and went for dinner at the same old place. After all the tiring touring, went back to the hostel to do chores after dinner. Today, we had learnt a lot about the history and connections of the three kingdoms. All these culture and history could not be even found in Singapore. It was a rare chance for us to learn about all these things. What I’ve learnt today was too much to be written in words. Here are some of the photos.
