Short Break in Gaungdong - Part 3

According to the tour guide, there are 3 XiHu (西湖) in the mainland China. The most famous one is in Hangzhou. Another one is this in Guangdong and one I forgot where it is. As I haven't been to the other 2, so I can't tell which one is the best.



Do you know how much was this big dinner? Only around RMB 98!!! The taste? Fair. This restaurant is well decorated and seems a good place for dating or semi formal gathering. It's located around the Threater Station (大劇院站) in Shenzhen and operated by a large Taiwan catering group.



Well, it's time to my lovely home.

The dinosaur museum was another attraction pushed me to enroll the tour.

Welcome by a fake dinosaur skeleton.


A local dinosaur specimen. The size is very small.


The original look? Seems like a chicken.


Dinosaur egg fossils.


View of Guangdong from a dam.


The dam is able to resist earthquake up to 6 degree.

Short Break in Gaungdong - Part 1

Gaungdong, China
Dec 17-18, 2006

Thirsted for a break but time was very limited, thus, my friend and me took a 2-day tour to Guangdong. The selling point of the tour was staying in a new hot spring resort named "Yu Lin Men" (御臨門溫泉渡假村). There are more than 20 hot springs with different themes and functions at your choice. A good place for relaxing but it takes around 3 hours by coach from Hong Kong to there, quite a long way.

The resort is in Bali style.


Spacious and clean room.



Beautiful lobby.



Fireworks bought from the resort. Not sure why the video doesn't place properly.
