Jiangnan Tour 江南游


Yay! Here we are again at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport 杭州萧山机场. This time we are going for the Great Jiangnan tour 江南游. We will be visiting Suzhou 苏州, Wuxi 无锡, Feng Jing 枫泾, Shanghai 上海 and Hangzhou 杭州. 
All those places already separated into different places and blog. Here is only summary. 



We departed from KLIA2 at 8am and reached Hangzhou at 2pm. Once touched down, we went to Suzhou directly. 



The building with an arc opening in the middle is the "Gate of Orient" 东方之门. It is the landmark of Suzhou. For more detail do  drop by my Suzhou blog.

Next destination will be Wuxi. We just stop at two attraction there is Lihu Lake and The Three Kingdoms City.

This  Lihu lake is so spacious and windy that people love playing kites here.



After that, we headed to Three Kingdoms City 三国城, this is the place where the show "Romance of the Three Kingdom" 三国演义 is shot.




For further detail do drop by my Wuxi blog and Shanghai blog.

City God Temple of Shanghai 城隍庙商业区 one of the attraction. There are many more at 



天脉玉器
We visited one of the jewellery shop 天脉玉器 before checking out the night view. Too bad we got cheated. Here's the story:
When we reached, we were been seated in a room. Then suddenly one of the sales girl told us coz other senior salesperson are too busy, we were entertained by the "daughter" of the company. The daughter pretended to be bad at presentation, and used her tears to get our mercy to buy the jewellery. She told us it is her first sales presentation and she had been only at "CEO" for 4 days. Therefore she needed to successfully close a deal to prove her ability. Being swayed by her tears and continuous persuasion, we failed to resist and hence bought the jewelleries. She told us that she treated us as true friend that is truly understanding and said will keep in touch with us. However till today she didn't get back to us despite already have our phone number.We should have realised it is a CON and insisted not buying anything. Too bad we failed. We hope our experience will be a lesson to other people who are going to china. Trust your instinct and never get persuaded easily!!!
(The lady in pink is the so called "daughter" of the company)
Be careful don't be cheated again...



At The Bund...

On our way back to Hangzhou, we stopped at Fengjing 枫泾古镇. Drop by my Fengjingzhen  and Hangzhou blog

Wuxi, China

WUXI

Lihu Lake 蠡湖公园
After lunch at Suzhou we drove to Wuxi 无锡. Our first stop is Lihu Lake 蠡湖公园.


This lake is so spacious and windy that people love playing kites here.


Taihu Pearl Shop 太湖珍珠馆

After that, we went to Taihu Pearl Shop 太湖珍珠馆 to see how pearls are extracted. As those pearls at  Taihu 太湖 are rare by human, they are usually many pearls in one shell and are less valuable. They are usually uneven in size and used to make pearl powder or cosmetic, rather than jewellery.


Three Kingdoms City 三国城

After that, we headed to Three Kingdoms City 三国城, this is the place where the show "Romance of the Three Kingdom" 三国演义 is shot.





As the area is too big, they provide shuttle bus to drive the tourists around...






Watching the fighting scene of 三英战吕布.


And then took the warship to tour around Taihu.







At night, we can see many buildings are lit up by fluorescent light design at its facade. This makes the building recognizable from far and create an amazing city skyline.


Our dinner for the night....



I want these cars...


Night, we stayed at 4 star Days Inn and Suites 福特戴斯.


The breakfast is considered awesome compared to other hotel breakfast.


At Wuxi we do stop for a night and proceed on to Shanghai
