It was night time when we reached Zhaoqing. The first thing we did was  to visit the famous Square which is located beside the Park, overseeing the Star Lake. The public Square is not only huge and spacious, it is equipped with beautiful musical fountains to entertain its guests – for free. http://jenghwan.blogspot.com/2012/01/first-foreign-square-with-enchanting.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Lam Jeng Hwan)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24247398.post-4134358234092184872Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:58:00 +00002012-01-19T16:45:05.537+08:00Trips and HolidaysHezhou has a few interesting places for tourists, but as for us, since Huangyao Ancient Town wasn’t part of our schedule, Hezhou became less of an interesting place.The town itself isn’t as clean and soothing as the others. Our first place in Hezhou was rather disinteresting. We went to the Hezhou Square (贺州广场) to witness the iconic Kylin Statue (麒麟樽), a symbol and a treasure of Hezhou. http://jenghwan.blogspot.com/2012/01/first-huge-foreign-square-with-musical.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Lam Jeng Hwan)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24247398.post-5283278117625409676Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:16:00 +00002012-01-19T16:45:49.767+08:00Trips and HolidaysAnother fascinating place to go to in Lipu is the river in which tourists are entertained with demonstrations of cormorant fishing. Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing method commonly employed by fishermen in Japan and China. It utilizes trained cormorants to help fishermen with their fishing.

It is like a night market, albeit there are a lot more shops than hawker stalls. There are quite a lot of restaurants and bars there. As our tour guide said, West Street is more a of a place for youngsters, so it wasn’t really surprising to see bars banging loud noisy music around.

The peak of Yaoshan is 903.3 meters high. It is the best place to view the perfect vista of Guilin. To reach the top, we had to rely on the service of cable cars. The cable cars aren’t really ‘cars’.

To enter the Cave, one has to drive a slide-car through a few twists and turns through a narrow pathway, alongside of which is a very scenic view of countryside farmlands and mountains.

To me, it was the most eye opening trip ever! My parents were ruminating whether or not to go for an overseas trip during the holidays, and eventually my family found the right trip package.

Unless carefully handled, it leads directly to egotism. Ordinary human thinking is full of greed, jealousy and pride.
