China - Yunan Trip Part 8 (Finale)

Day 8
Today we took a 4 hour bus ride from 丽江 to our next destination which is 香格里拉.
Firstly, we went to this 草原 to ride on horses.
It was really fun, but my buttocks was so painful after the ride. And riding a horse is really not easy. Really 佩服 those people who act in those 古装, and can ride on horses so well.




After house riding, we went to this place where they sell divine stones.
Not really a believer of all these kinda stuff. My mum bought one of the stones cos she wanna 保平安 for the whole family.
She asked me to accompany her to the shifu to bless the stone.
Well, as a Christian, i really don't believe in all these stuff, but i just go along and see.
Then the shifu started using this weird look to look at me. Wah lau, so scary, i was like thinking gosh does he like know any of my darkest secrets? Then he started looking at my palm and said that one of my weakness is that i am not daring enough, don't have enough guts. Not really a risk taker in other words.
Which is like so true, cos sometimes i really wish i am daring and 潇洒 enough to do certain stuff, it might be an obstruction to success at times.
But after i return to the bus, i keep thinking and did a lot of reflections. Well, having more guts is one thing, but i guess it is also good to be careful at times.
I think moderation is the best. Being careful or daring at the right time is something i wanna achieve, not just simply being daring all the time. I think being daring all the time and not thinking about the consequences is quite stupid and irresponsible. So i would rather be careful and think through the whole process carefully. Luckily what the shifu said didnt affect me sia.
One's weakness could be another person's strength.

We checked into Shun Xin Business Hotel of the night.



Day 9
We woke up early today so that we could reach the 香格里拉 airport on time to return to 昆明 city. Domestic flight. Of to 昆明......


After we reached 昆明, we still have sometime cos our flight to Singapore is at night, so the tour guide brought us to do some sightseeing and shopping.
We went to 圆通寺. Again, though i am not a believer, but i think the temple is very nice. Inside the temple still got fish pond.





After visiting 圆通寺, we went to visit 翠湖公园. Its a park where a lot of lovers love to meet.




Oh yar, in the evening when we were having dinner. There is this craftsman at the restaurant we will cut out people's faces using just a pair of scissors. So skillful can.
This is his masterpiece of me. Haha.

Do you think it looks like me???

We then headed back to the airport and flew back to our homeland Singapore.
Home Sweet Home. I still like my little sunny island the best. Haha.

Thoughts and Reflections:
This trip has really been an eye opener for me. Seeing other people's lifestyle and their culture. Plus the many beautiful scenery.
But as i have said, i think it is better to come with the right group of people.
I wouldn't want to share a room with my brother ever again.

My friends, i really hope we can go on to a tour together someday.
Hopefully that day will come soon.

With that, i end my China Yunan Trip report.
Next time if u go to Yunan, i recommend u go to 丽江 and 昆明.
Basically we were quite dissapointed with 香格里拉. And i wouldn't want to go back to 女儿国 again, cos the bus ride is damn tiring.
丽江 and 昆明 is the best places in Yunan. Places that u must visit there include, 玉龙雪山, 石林, 九乡 and 丽江古城. Performance u must watch include 云南映像 (the peacock dance) and 印象丽江 directed by 张艺谋.

Hope you like my China Yunan Trip report.
Thank you all for supporting.

☆:
如果海会说话
如果风爱上砂
如果有些想念
遗忘在漫长的长假
我会聆听浪花
让风吹过头发
任记忆里的爱情
在时间潮汐里喧哗
非得等春天远了夏天才近了
我是在回首时终于懂得
当阳光 再次
回到那飘着雨的国境之南
我会试着把那一年的故事
再接下去说完
当阳光 再次
离开那太晴朗的国境之南
妳会不会把妳曾带走的爱
在告别前用微笑全归还
海很蓝 星光灿烂
我仍空着我的臂弯
天很宽 在我独自唱歌的夜晚
请原谅我的爱诉说的太缓慢
当阳光 再次
回到那飘着雨的国境之南
我会试着把那一年的故事
再接下去说完
当阳光 再次
离开那太晴朗的国境之南
妳会不会把妳曾带走的爱
在告别前用微笑全归还
