WuXi(无锡) - NanJing(南京)

[Feb 16, 2010]

Take a traditional boat ride at TaiHu Lake(太湖) is another MUST-DO activity. Taihu Lake is the third largest freshwater lake in China. It is located in the southern part of the Yangtze River. It is a famous scenic spot in China and is famed for its lake, its hills and its splendid man-made scenery.

Next we visited Fisherman Island (渔夫岛) and XiShi Island (西施岛) Island. It is a secret lake for XiShi living place, a 2400 years legend of the manor. Bo Gong Dao Garden (渤公岛公园) is also one of the attractions at WuXi. I nearly cannot recognize every garden visited because they are almost similar.. :P

After lunch, we headed to NanJing (南京). NanJing always makes me think about the movie "NanJing Massacre 南京大屠杀". This time I have opportunity to visit this memorial hall. It is sorry to listen every stories that stated inside the hall.

NanJing Yangtze River Bridge (南京长江大桥) is the first bridge to be built across the Yangtze River in Nanjing, China. It was completed in 1968 and is the first double-decker, double-track highway and railway bridge designed and constructed by the Chinese without outside engineering assistance.

At night we headed to Confucious Temple street (夫子庙步行街) for shopping. There is a suitable place for you to grab for your souvenirs.

Check in hotel after dinner. It was definitely a torturing night in hotel. Outside was snowing non-stop. Inside the room, no matter how I higher the temperature of heater, my mum and I still shivered. Until the next day morning, we found out that we forgot to close one of the small window. ="= I promise never miss any windows during snowing night anymore...
