银子岩洞

这也是去年的旅程啦，呵呵。这银子岩洞啊，导游说 “你是会边走边脱衣的，所以不必穿那么厚”。哈哈哈，因为里面大的很，跟着讲解员走大概也要一个小时吧（忘了）？？而且不通风的，所以的确是越走越热！ :P

This was last year's CNY trip, before we enter the cave, our tour guide asked us not to wear too thick as the inner we stroll along, the hotter we'll feel (which is so true!), as the cave is so huge and 'no wind' inside, we might even keep taking off our clothes! hahahaha...

四周都是红通通的灯笼，真的很有气氛的 Every where also red red tang long, very CNY feel!

银子岩溶洞是典型的喀斯特地貌，贯穿十二座山峰, 属层楼式溶洞，包括下洞、大厅、上洞三大部分，汇集了不同地质年代发育生长的各种类型的钟乳石
Siver Cave is typical karst topography that across 12 peaks, it belongs to "floor-type cave" which consist of lower, hall and upper cave three main parts, gathered with various type of stalactites that grow in different geological age (sounds very awful right the english? Sorry ya I seriously donno how to write this... hahahahaha)

开始咯，左图为‘芋王’，右图下像不像男生的‘小鸟’？ 哈哈哈。。。
here we go, on the left there is this Yam stone, on the right....does it looks like guy's 'bird bird'? ahahaha

左图是万里长城，右图是龙脊梯田！真的太奇妙了！
On the left we have Great Wall, on the right, Long Ji Staircase Field. Really amazing!

这里有酿酒窟哦！ There is winery here!

说实在的真的很壮观！不过我就不太欣赏那些五颜六色的灯光啦，觉得有点俗气。。。
It is pretty spectacular indeed, but I don't quite like the lighting, hmnm.. felt a bit 'tacky'?

这部分的钟乳石近看是闪闪发亮好像钻石那样亮晶晶的，不过我的相机拍不到那个效果咯。
These area's stalactites are shining one oh! Like thousand's of diamonds attached to it, but my camera was not able to capture the effect lah...

这是全程最另我赞叹的一幕，浅浅的湖水把钟乳石的倒影尽现眼前，那份清澈的宁静是蛮难得的。。。
This is the scenery that I like most, the reflection on the shallow lake is really amazing, tranquil and beautiful.

右上角有个鲍鱼哪！There is an abalone on the top right corner oh!

‘出关’之后就从这步道往纪念品/饼贩卖去走咯！
After coming out from the cave, proceed to shopping for local biscuits via this walking path!

总的来说，这地方是不错啦，不过如果你对石头没什么兴趣的话这里可能就不太适合你咯。

In short, this place is pretty cool, but if you have very less interest in 'stone', but you might not be liking it lo.

刘三姐景观园 Liu San Jie Landscape Park

这里嘛，以刘三姐文化为主题，可以看到广西少数民族，壮、侗、苗、瑶族的民俗风情和表演，蛮不错的。

Ok the translation crap (seriously donno what''s the English version of the park name ==') Anyway its a place that in memorial of Liu San Jie (I guess many of the youngster donno about her, between she's just a legendary character that might not exist... but I damn like this movie, the san ge are awesome!) and you can see the houses and the culture of some of the minority troops in GuangXi. Pretty nice place to visit.

入门 Entrance



那一大朵一大朵的，导游说是新的日本品种(忘了是包菜花还是生菜==') 可以吃的哦
The big big colourful thingy, is not flower oh, its a new species of vege from japan (but forgot if it was broccoli or lettuce ==')



我喜欢这鼓道，我们还真的拿起鼓棒敲个痛快呢！
I like this drum path, hehehe... we did hit it maximum!

这鼓楼不费一根钉就筑起了
This Drum Pagoda built without a single nail...

以三姐为主题，当然少不了绣球咯
Since Liu San Zie is the theme, for sure there are 'siu qiu' around lo

还真没想到老妈也很可以摆姿势。。。
Didn't expect mother also good in posting :P

满树红噹噹的很有新年气氛
Red red across the tree, hehe, full of CNY feel...

尧山索道 Guilin Yao Mountain

尧山主峰是桂林市内最高的山，以变幻莫测的的山色闻名于世。导游说，到尧山要看三宝~天然卧佛、水月观音和风雨桥。。。

Yao Mountain has the highest hill in Guilin, famous of its natural beauty and the different views in difference seasons. According to the tour guide there are 3 must see things in Rao Mountain, which is the natural sleeping buddha, the GuanYin and the 'Wind Rain Bridge'... (but if you google it then you'll have different information...)

入口处 Entrance Hall

缆车离地不高，长约1416.18米
The cable car is not too height from the ground, about 1416.18m long

景色确实怡人，还是第一次看见和山水画里的风景一样的实景。。。
The view is fantastic, first time see the actual scenery that same as the drawing...

这就是自然卧佛，还蛮神似的。。。
That's the sleeping buddha, its kind of real isn't it?

山顶瞭望一景~美
Bird's Eye View from top of the hill, beautiful ...

水月观音
Sui Yue GuanYin

风雨桥，走过风雨桥，从此风雨不再。。。（不这么念还真不知道它的过人之处。。。）
Walked pass this 'Wind Rain Bridge', there will be no more storm/obstacle in your way
(erm...if the tour guide  didn't say so I think this bridge would have mean nothing...)

这蘑菇有每一颗都有手掌大小哦，当然是天价啦，不过口感很棒，没有买啦。。。
Each of them sized like the palm, price is sky high as well but tasted good oh (non of us buy tho...hehehe)

其实第一次看到这桂林山色，还是蛮震撼的, 也觉得很得意（因为它真的是一栋一栋的，和那些延绵不绝的山脉有着天渊之别。。。）
First time saw the mountain scenery in Guilin I found it fascinating (well you see basically it mountain looks like stand alone and botak botak instead of stretches without a break...

长江旅游游船有限公司 Yangtze Cruise & Tour Sdn Bhd

六天五夜之桂林~阳朔~贺州~肇庆~深圳

本来是不想写这篇的，不过想想还是和大家分享一下。

记得，如果下次你要选‘长江旅游游船有限公司’，千万不要拿以上那个行程，因为个人认为这行程除了前面那两天，其他的真的是差强人意，行程安排不以顾客为先，为了要在广州离境，竟然弄个4-5 小时车程从阳朔到贺州，再到肇庆逛街！

那我为什么拿这个行程？？ 错了，我本来是要去昆明的！谁知临出发前长江才打电话给我说因为人数不够，不成团。当中的‘必七’(pik cik) 就别讲了，折腾一番之后选了这个桂林观光团。这是第一个不爽。

算咯对不？去旅行最重要是开心，所以我尽量告诉自己要‘算’，不要投诉。

怎知到因为旅行团的失误，竟然定不到早上从深圳转机到桂林的班机。结果？他们安排我们到‘莲花山’，走Ｎ级楼梯看邓小平肖像！然后？去逛街再去机场。

去到桂林已经累死了。

没关系，我尽量安抚母亲说明天的行程会恢复妥当的。总不能第一天就毁了心情嘛是不是？

哇，结果除了桂林和阳朔，其他的都是好几个小时的车程然后一天才走那么一个景点。就只因为他们包机（马航），所以把顾客通通弄到广州搭一架飞机离境。
在机上有其他旅客取不同的行程的（都是长江的旅客，包机嘛）也有个不怎么样的反馈，可想而知这以做中国团出名的旅游公司，现在已大不如前了。真可惜。

记得咯，你可以试长江其他的行程，但是这6天5夜的桂林团嘛，你可以考虑别家公司的了，比如珍珠假期的团，搭亚航直飞桂林，我的同事去过，口碑不错。

6D5N Guilin~Yang Suo~He Zou~Zhao Qing~Shen Zhen

I was thinking not to write this, but after few days, I still feel like say something, so here I am, sharing this little pieces of mind of mine.

Remember, if you ever wish to pick any trip from 'Yangtze Cruise & Tour Sdn Bhd', personally I would advise you not to take the itinerary above. As the itinerary is customized to suit their need instead of customer. Means, for the sake making all customer depart from Guang Zhou Airport (as they chartered the plane), they've customized an itinerary that took 4-5hrs ride from Yang Shuo to He Zou just for ONE sight seeing point and another few hours ride to another place just for another ONE sight seeing point (the 1.20mins cruise) & shopping.

But why did I choose this itinerary? Well, this is not my first choice you see. I wanna go Kun Ming at the very first place! But few weeks right before the trip, they called and said due to not enough people, the trip has to be cancel and asked me picked another trip. Let's omit how 'pik cik' I was and the bullet I got from mother. I decided to go Guilin as this place is less 'dangerous' yet has a nice scenery (mother's point of view). So, this is my first 'unhappiness' of this trip.

But then since we decided to go trip, must go with a happy mood mah right? So lets forget about it and expecting the trip with a positive mind.

But then hor, Yangtze failed to book the morning flight from Shenzhen to Guilin that resulting us have to spend a day hanging out at ShenZhen and took the 10pm flight the same day! Where to go? Wow, they brought us to 'Lotus Hill' (Lian Hua Shan), climb N steps of staircase to watch the effigy of Deng Xiao Ping. Then, shopping. This is the second 'ganasai' in my heart. But still, I try to be positive coz its just first day of the trip, I don't wanna spoil the remaing days!

So? Fine. I try to enjoy and cheer up mama, when we reached Guilin already midnight and seriously half dead. But we try to have faith that the remaining tour shall be back on track and shall be just fine.

Eh, but AGAIN besides Guilin and Yang Shuo, the remaining sight seeing place all took us few hours ride to reach the destination and its just one sight seeing point a day, then free and easy walk and shop.

Fantastic. All and all is just because they chartered the flight, they made all their customer depart from Guang Zhou. It sucks, seriously.

Last but not least, since the whole plane's passengers are YangTze's customer, I've heard some of their feedback on other itinerary as well, and the feedback are so so only.

Meaning to say, their goodwill has dropped and is not as worthy as compared to few years ago.

You may still wanna consider their other China tour package, but this particular one, you may think twice. I would suggest you to take Pearl Holiday's Guilin trip, my colleagues has quite a good feedback on their Guilin tour. So, good luck!
