Trip 3: China Part 1: Beijing at the Begining

Hi hI Guys... Guess what? I'm back from my wonderful... And extremely cold holiday from Beijing China.

Haha... Now How about that? Impression in Beijing... Dusty... And EXTREELY COLD!!! I finally experianced -20 degree Celsius!!!

Day 1: Arrived at the Oriental City

After Traveling for 5 hours and 45 min. We finally arrive at Beijing. Wohoo... And also , it is pretty rare for me to join a tour... Cause normally, my mum want to travel on our own.

Anyway, we arrived pretty late... So Our tour Guide, Xiao Cui, take us to experiance a delicacy... Known as Jiao Zi... Or Chinese Dumpling. And I was pretty shock about the dumpling in China is way much different from Malaysia... Here we put pork and carrot inside...

Here, they put all sorts of material inside... Such as eggs and vege... Different type of vege... Pork and vege... Egg and onion... Supremely many... And they use vinegar for tasting.

Here's a pic where the workers making dumplings...

Next we witness some stunt show... Even perform by little kids as small as 5 y. o.!!!


Day 2: Travel back to Ancient China

After a heavy Buffet Breakfast, I head off to the first destination... The Forbidden City. And boy... IT IS RIDICULOUSLY BIG!!! Xiao Cui explain the history of it by introducing the many rooms for the king...

First... Let's see the gate to the Forbidden City...
Gate 1: Now it is known as the Tien An Men Square... Before this... This gate is actually seperate the peasants from the Noble... No Peasant can pass his gates.
Now behind it is Gate 2: This gate seperates normal Noble family from the Kings. Only the governer who must attend the morning assembly can pass this gate. And also if there is a big festival...



Now here is this large area behind me is the only place where any festival / big anouncements that involve with the Emperor is held. You always see this in some Chinese movies right. Hehe... Well I been there alright.

Besides the gate, we are not allowed to enter the royal throne and bedroom, cause they are been protected from tourist from accidentally vandalizing them. We only can see it in a distance. This part sucks...


More to come... Keep on watch!!!

Trip 2: Cameron Highland











Yo guys... My second trip for this holiday season... And my destinaton? Cemron Highlands!!! Located right in the Titiwangsa mountain area, easy to find... Just of the main highway. Just follow the roadsign.

Day 1: The arrival
When we arrive, nothing much were done, except buying and eating vege in our hotel... Equitorial by the way.

Day 2: Flower sensation.
Due to my love of nature, (or at least I think I am), I am able to convince my mum to stop at Rose Valley: A garden (which you have to pay RM 4 to go in) where you can see tons of roses, flowers and cactus. It is simply amazing whe you see this rose. I love it!!! Check it out!!!


Beautiful huh? What you see is dofferent type of rose... Including a Black rose. Very pretty!!!

Then we off to a bee farm... Where we can see some exhibition and a bee box... about 20 cm from me... Which contain live bees!!!
Cool huh? Then we buy MORE vege at Kea farm. What made me suprise is... The corn bought at cameron is simply DELICIOUS!!!! So sweet until you can eat it RAW!!! Seriously I ate 3 corns raw. And I still miss the taste...

Day 3: Give some Umph for tea...

English tea to be exact... Travel through some of the narrowest and windiest sreets in Cameron, we reach to a Boh tea factory. Before that, I'm exicted with the view of the tea plantation and the workers...


Really marvelous... However, the other even more marvelous thing is the factory. Yup... The old tea factory is still running in good pace. And the place for tourist has been renovate onto a top-notch condition.

Nevertheless, I have my fun there in Cameron. Most of the time is enjoying the cool breeze there. Beside theplaces I mentioned, I think there is no more place to visit though. Anyway, it's good to feel the chill for a while and eat lots of veges until you keep on poo-ing.

So I give this place a 6 out of 10 stars!!!
