Weekend Escape from Troubles - Sail to Mailand China

After several rush hours in Macau, we headed to Zhuhai by a ferry which only took around 15 minutes.

The highlight of the day - seafood dinner. Some people were responsible for picking the best seafood at the best price. Then, a restaurant turned the fresh seafood to great dishes. The dinner was excellent. All abalones, pawns, fishes, etc were mouth-watering. The cost was a surprise. Less than RMB100 per head. I was too excited and forgot to take any picture. Thanks for the buyers and the cooks. A note that many mainland restaurants now charge sterilization fee on tableware, around RMB7 per set. We still washed all the tableware again due to psychological comfort.


Don't look down to the street cooking like tofu. It did taste great. A staff working hard to peel cane to prepare cane juice.

A key to enjoy comfortable accommodation in China is to pick new hotels as maintenance is still the weakness of mainland hotels. The Downtown Hotel Zuhai Hotel we stayed was one of those new and very comfortable. Just the washroom was unexpectedly tiny even for one person.

The statute is the landmark of Zuhai, named "Zuhai Fishwoman" (珠海漁女). She was a goddess but married an ordinary man and became a doctor in the village. The goddess was surrounded by ordinary human weekends.
A church (聖母無原罪堂) in Foshan. Felt peace of mind in this quiet church.

The highlight of the launch next day was the roasted goose by lychee tree which was rich in taste and juicy. Not sure if the food was so good that even a frog was attracted to the dining area.

All the cousins.

Longyan picking time. Sweet and juicy though small.

Longyan tea and longyan honey in progress.


A modern fish pond with automatic sprinklers on the way to Shenzhen.
Congee hot pot before and after adding ingredients. Waiters / waitresses added various ingredients in sequence: 1) clam, 2) fish, 3) vegetables, chicken, meatball. Super yummy.

This fried egg was impressive too.
