Chengdu, JiuZaiGou and Huanglong Holiday


I had a great holiday in China and I am very amazed with China's awesome scenery. I plan to go there again in the future with better camera lens and definately will be somewhere around October. The photo above is taken at the sea level above 3500 meters; it is very very cold. I took off my jacket and quickily take a photo shot. In the late evening when we return the same place, it was snowing.

Here are some photos taken.
Behind me is the waterfall taken in Huanglong.


This waterfall below is taken at JiuZaiGou. The water is very clean and clear. How I wish I could jump into the water and swim. But it is only a wish I could have in my mind as the penalty to swim in the river is RMB2000 (about Malaysian Ringgit 1000). Few years back before the China government imposed the law, everyone could swim in the river.

Look at this photo below, I really wish I could just roll into the water.
Below 2 photos are taken at the Peacock Lake. Just look at the colorful lake, which it seems like I am in a dreamland. I could see very clearly the bottom of the lake and there's a lot of fish swimming around. Taking photos during autumn is the best as this will make the whole area in red/orange in color. Awesome! This is God's creation.


Is she pretty? She is the local from JiuZaiGou known as the Zhang tribe. By the way, JiuZaiGou is about 3400 meters above sea level. I have forgotten her name, but this year she is 20 years old and she can sing heavenly.
The photo below is taken in LuokDai Oldtown, surprisingly this is a Hakka community area in Sichuan province. I took the opportunity to take a ride as I always wanted to try one. It was a nice experience. The ride cost me RMB10 yuan.
Guess what is this? Guess? Guess? Hahaha...This is the Silk Worm and.......
It is yummy. Yum Yum!!!! It is one of the local delicacies. I also tried the world most smelly taufu. Do I like it? Yes I do and it taste good. Wish I could find such food in Penang. Yum Yum!

Hahaha!!!! I wish I really could jump into the water and relax.

Well, the worm is really great. To be honest with you, I ate half only and threw it away. By the stinky toufu is really nice. It taste something like Fried Belacan Chicken. You have to try it. Sure you will not regret about it.
