Today is the day to visit Hankou.
We travelled by bus again and with Xiao Lei Jie Jie as our tour guide. (:
On our way to Hankou, the ride took a while to reach there, like an hour plus i think.
The bridge that we had to pass through to go to Hankou, the destination we going towards.
Finally we reached where we first visited the park. The above picture is where we would gather to meet at the required time given.
These are rides that can be taken to go round the whole area. (something like a bicycle but is a 3 seater instead i think)
Kite flying; there are many kites being sold there with a few locals selling. Some designs of the kites are quite nice.
We were near the beach, however there was not much of a breeze since the weather was still hot. The beach kind of made me think of home. hahas. It is like across the Ocean, Singapore may lie there, though is simply my imagination.
me and hajar were enjoying the sun, which is so bright that we cannot even open our eyes big.
This work piece was done by a kite seller. Maybe this was used to attract attention from visitors to come to his area to get the kites.
Soon it was time to gather back at the place that was told and off we went to the streets of shops where we could do our shopping there.
Some stuffs we saw along the way (: a clock tower and my favourite ocean creatures Dolphin!
Finally reached the many streets of shops. First stop went to was the bookstore as Dr Tan wanted to go there and a few of us just accompanied him. However I wanted to go walk other areas to shop, hence Wenliang and I went to find Edah, Hajar, Siti and Chen Wei before we six set off on a shopping spree.
Along the way, we saw this whole stretch of fast food restaurants. (picture below)
and a pharmacy too.
After eating two red bean buns, we came across a bakery store, which sells nice breads.
I ate this, which is bread with chicken. The taste of it is nice :)
We walked along the streets, going in and out of shops we were interested in. Just today, since we are given the opportunity to do shopping, I bought a few t shirts, a pair of shoes and a blouse.
Kite flying can be Hubei locals' hobby since kites do being sold and with wide area in space, kites can be fly up without any major hindrances in the air or surroundings. In Singapore, there are kites to fly but seldom Singaporeans will do that.
Additionally, one benefit of shopping here is that the price over here is much cheaper than in Singapore. However the quality of the items is questionable.
There are always people questioning about quality of China items, people not liking to buy things when they know or learn that the items are labelled "made in china". Because China is known to be able to produce things in bulk due to the vast amount of populations she has, but their quality is not good. Furthermore, for people who like to bargain, can do so; practising their skills in bargaining.
