    Day 6-Tourist

    Day 6


    After breakfast, Xiao Deng told us that it had rained the night before and it is still raining. He advised us to bring our jackets along, saying that it has dropped to 10 degrees. We were literally freezing as we chattered and shivered our way from the hotel lobby to the bus. Edward didn't come along with us due to food poisoning. He was the first one who fell sick. Our first stop is to the bee farm. There got to taste different type of honey. I didn't buy any because my mother had specifically told me not to get honey. Some of the guys even went to try to wine/beer and commented it was made them feel warm instantly.


    The commentor and on the tables are the different types of honey.A honey comb with all the bees still intact on it. It was really scary when they bring it around for everyone to see. Only Mingli was brave enough to hold it for a photo shot. You go girl!



    Next off we head to the Site of Weiyuan Battery. A really big and old cannon overlooking the sea.The remains(?) of a shelter...i think

    As tourists how can we miss out photos? Above from left-Andrea, Stephanie, Zhi Wen, Bao Yi and Me. Bao Yi, Stephie and me standing in front of a busy bridge.Andrea and I.From left-Bao Yi, I, Yi Ling, Andrea and Stephanie.



    After that we went to Yuxiang Ceramic Tile Industry. There we saw the workers whom are all female working on different pieces of their own. Since all of it are done by hand, you would expect some difference. But honestly, i can't even spot any difference from one similar piece to another. Guess only an expert would be able to tell. We were not the only group touring that place. I wonder how these people were able to concentrate so well on their work with so much buzz going on around them. For that i really salute them. Lastly, we went to Foshan Ancestor Temple and Wang Feihong's Memorial Park which happens to be beside and linked to the temple itself. The entrance of the temple.This lady guide brought us for a tour around both places.

    This symbol of a snake on a turtle is supposed to bring good things to people. That explains why there were alot of coins because many people treat it like a wishing well and tried to aim for their coins to hit the turtle and snake. On Sundays, there will still be performance on this really old stage. Below is where people get to sit and watch. I wonder if you are at the front, won't you have to cranked you neck? Hmmm... Entrance to the Wang Feihong's Memorial Park This is the man! Wang Fei Hong. He is so unlike all those TV character we've seen on tv. We got to see a lot of his belongings. His weapons and learn about all his history. We were told that 13th Aunt is a ficticious character. I was rather disappointed about it when i found out. That marks the end of our visits and it was back to Guangzhou for dinner and more market research. =D
