苏州

We went to Suzhou on the 14th..It isn't as fun as Shanghai, but i'm still happy to see see how Suzhou looks like..
以下就是我们的行程:

新加坡工业园区:
We didn't get too see much on the 工业园区, cuz we were only driving around the place (no time to go down walk walk)..but its really very singapore! like this pic looks like some area in Spore yea? so cool right! its nice to see singapore-liked stuff in a foreign country =)


Then we went to 寒山寺,its like a temple..but its now more of an tourist attraction rather than a place of worship..but still, there is people coming to 拜拜..
so here are some pictures taken at 寒山寺..



I like the river! got the 小桥流水人家 feeling..



This is some area in the Han Shan Si..see the pagoda? ya, we went up to look see also..


this is a view from the pagoda..these buildings are little temples of Han Shan Si..so the whole place is quite big..



this is me n xuan n her totty (its a soft toy tortoise, she loves tortoise!) at Han Shan Si..
After which, we went for lunch at some restaurant.. then to a place called 留园..its a man-made kind of 有山有水的地方.. on the way, i took a pic of this:

there are little rivers like this here and there in Suzhou..i think its quite pretty..


So this is entrance of 留园, the outside n the inside is very different..one moment u are along a busy street..then when u cross the entrance, you are into another world..
See what i mean?

but i think its quite nice though! anyway, its 苏州四大名园之一!



pic of me, xuan, duan at Liu Yuan...

This is one part of Liu Yuan too..the stone carvings very nice hor!


Xuan, me and huiwen (my fren cum neighbour)..

After Liu Yuan, we went to a place where they sell pearl stuff..got pearl jewelleries, pearl cream, pearl powder..No pics cuz not allowed to take =(
Then we head back to hangzhou..3 hrs plus bus ride!
this sunset pic is taken on the way back..then we zzzz all the way back to hangzhou..

Yup, that's about it!


I trust in You Lord, with all of my heart and lean not to my own understanding. In all of my ways I acknowledge You, and You direct my paths.
Thank You Father!
