I'm quite lazy to post the whole story here, thus I'm just going to share some focal points of the enjoyable trip. The first three days, we were travelling around Hangzhou & Suzhou. As you guys know, Hangzhou is a famous tourist metropolis. We took a cruise at the famous West Lake. Since the Tang Dynasty, West Lake has been famous for its fascinating natural scenery and its few love stories. Many historical and scenis spots are nestled in the gree hill or hidden in the valleys around the lake, such as "Three Pagodas Reflecting the Moon" etc. We did visit to the Ling Yin Monastery, where my cousin sis, my younger bro and me had our snowball fight there. It's exhilarating! Moreover, I would say the "Sung Dynasty Show" in the Sung Village is a must-watch-show in Hangzhou. As it is rated as one of the best shows in China and acknowledge as one of the best in the world. I really did enjoy the show though. For Suzhou, Tiger Hill was our first spot on out itinerary. It's also known as the "No. 1 Historical SIte in Central Wu". Tiger HIll is boasted with it's picturesque scenery, countless historical sites left by the past dynasties and many legends. A lot of peoples say that, Suzhou Silk Factory is also a place where not to be missed, but to me it's just so-so. However, I would say Wu Lin Square is a place where not to be missed.
For the following 4 days, we were staying in Shanghai. Of course the first thing come into peoples' mind is the famous Nanjing Road. You are able to find over 6000 shops that on average are visted by 1.7 million people EACH DAY! It's freaking crowded, my bro and I were squeezing like sardins in the shopping centers. You may try and imagine yourselves, we squeezed like what we do in our local night markets in their shopping center man. Everyone is doing their shopping spree along it, where they can purchase everything from cheap souvenirs to world famous brand items. Besides that, we also took a relaxing cruise along the Huangpu Rive and enjoy the spectacular night view of Shanghai on private yachts. Furthermore, it'll be the Chenghuang Temple, a very unique shopping area for souvenirs and famous for its Shanghai buns (Siao Long Pau). It's also a place where we spent most of our money though. Lulx. On 31/12 night, we had a "Countdown Gala Dinner" in the prestigous Shanghai International Convention Centre commanding a spectacular view of the Huangpu River rented at RMB400,000! Gosh. But frankly speaking, the shows were just so-so as well. -_- However, I love our last dinner in Shanghai though. It's a sumptuous buffet dinner at the distinguished Golden Jaguar Restaurant with more than 400 types of foods filled with unlimited wines, chinese liquors, shark-fin soups, abalones, bird-nests, sashimi, steaks and etc... Of course, I went for Japanese Cuisine the most!
Comparing between Shanghai, Hangzhou & Suzhou, I love Hangzhou the most, no matter the peoples or the places. And yeah just for your information, Hangzhou is a very fine and suitable place for couples to have their dating over there. Really! :)
