a trip to Guilin
Friday, Oct 24, 2008 2:03PM / Standard Entry / Members only
Location: Yangshuo and Guilin, Guangxi province, China
Time: Oct, 21-24, 2008
The long expected graduation trip finally came, us graduates extremely excited for the past few days. The reasons are,
1st, people say Guilin has the best landscape in the world.
2nd, It's a 3- day trip 600 kilometers away, 5 meals and 2 nights' accomodation included. And what makes it more exciting is this trip basically costs 350 Yuan, that's 50 USD or so.
3rd, the whole class is going.
On this trip I took some pics with my own cellphone, well I had some classmates with digital cameras. It goes without saying the pics they took are definitely clearer and more professional, reflecting the way it's. What a pity, they are not at my hands now.
Prelude of the trip, pictures i took on the way there, through the bus window
This hill is so sharp and towery, surrouded by vast farm in the season of harvest. The window is not so clear.
hills behind hills.
So this is Li Jiang River. There are many sight-seeing boats for tourists to take a closer look at this wonder place. Cuz it feels quite different seeing from the perspective of a moving boat. The flowing water was crystal clear, and u can see float grass on the riverbed.
A complete cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo will last hours, becuz it's a very long river. Allong the river were very high hills, u hv to raise ur head up high to see the tops.
A natural painting of landscape unrolls as the boat goes on.
This cruise lasted 1 hours or so, and we took many many photos. Our faces almost got numb for the long time of smile and laughters.
At night we checked in a local hotel. After dinner we hang out for a walk and shopping. You have to be ready all the time for illuminated stone hills that jump in your sight. Very beatiful, I snapped this scene on the street.
There is a very famous pedestrian street named " West street", 西街 in Chinese. The street was full of people, stuffs, bars. What impressed me much is there are many foreigners, and even local venders can speak very good english. A friend walking with me said, " Shame on me."
Very delicate handicrafts. Watch your wallet, becuz you feel like buying it every time u hv it in your hands.
The next morning we went to a cave. What's in it??? !! This gate reminds me of "The Journey to the West ".
What a shock.
This is not waterfall, believe it or not, it's of stone. For some complicated geographical reasons it formed this way through the past thousands years. Really spectacular !!
Don't raise your head if you are a chick. This ceiling will probably frighten u.. you see, is it falling down on you?
Let's get sth pleasant....
More pleasant...
So this is Guilin City. Honestly I prefer Guangzhou. : ))

My university as the largest in south china, covers a land area of @#$*&, as statistics show. (I am not talking big) as u can see below, this is a playing field newly built, completed last month. Roughly calculated, it might be 1/20 of the total area ( I am not good at doing maths). However, it’s this 1/20 makes this new term a new term, and makes here a better place for human to live.
A clear dayDon’t you believe? So….check this out. This is the way it used to be, 2 years ago when we were freshmen, young and innocent. Isn’t it? More terrible than you can ever imagine, no trees, no grass, even no an ant, I guess. All that filled your eyesight is the soil kind of yellow, and the weed kind of chaos. It’s so unfair, so unhuman !! But for the right treatment, we have to wait…..
…….till today. Sometimes things seem beautiful because they are new. But this is not the case, personally, it’s beautiful in the rain because it’s beautiful. People have their special feelings for different things, a rainy day, a row of trees, can always bring me back the past, or we better call it story.
Unfortunately the first steps on this playing field the first day it was open was not by us who had been waiting on tiptoes for years, but by the freshmen of this year. Pissed off !! Yes, they deserve the vicious son throughout their military training !! Sound so mean? No I am a actually a nice guy.
But twilight, came from every possible window, gate, and hole, tracing for us. A perfect timing, perfect perspective made this perfect image. I took it ! ^^
I like sunrise, and sunset, too. No one knows this is sunrise or sunset only judging from photos. Let me tell you it’s the sunset( I hate getting up bright and early, unless i have to work) a scene I snapped on the balcony . The sky is colored red because of the white clouds, without which it remains all blue. Under is the black world human lives in, without lights on, people live in the darkness like animal.
So this is my college.
Not all, see these… flags before the teaching building. How many of them can you name the country or region they present? Sorry for the fuzzy pics..

I call them legend

Normally only superstars catch audience’s major attentions, few people would come to note a small potato, especially who has a long time off the entertainment biz.
She is 苗可秀, who worked together with Bruce Lee 李小龙 as a staring actor in early 70s, when she was a very young woman with slim figure and delicate skin. She was a dish !
They are good partners
but also good friends. Black and white is the color of memory.
There are moments.
The movie 猛龙过江(1972) was based on Rome.
These classic buildings in Rome never changed, but their life changed, both drifting, in paradise, and in Toronto.
2008, how old is she? Again she appears on the screen as an old mother. But in the real life she is still unmarried. Who is she waiting for?
Don’t get distracted by the girl holding camera on the left.
Beauty can’t stand the test of time, but a legend can. She is a legend, isn’t it? Less flame than Bruce lee though. On the contrary, her life grows robust like wine.
Now, are you thinking what you can do to make your life different, make it more worth living? Please do believe, you are legend, too.
