I AM BACK AGAIN! :D
This post will be mad full with photos, from China! Butbut, they are not in any chronological order because by now I’ve forgotten all the littlest details. Like which place did we travel first, and later, etc.
The tourist attraction we went!!
I have to say, this is one of the best attraction we went to. Not purely because I’m a Buddhist, but because it was really worth your time, worth your sweat climbing nearer to the Buddha’s statue. And not forgetting, I’m so proud to be a Buddhist! The following photos will tell.
The name of the Buddha♥
This is the magnificent Buddha statue, standing at 180m tall, if I'm not wrong!
The steps I mentioned, worth your sweat and perspiration. (:
A close up photo!
You see tiny little humans slightly above the lotus? Thats the closest we could go – to touch the Buddha’s feets. Like the Chinese saying goes “凌时抱佛脚”. haaa!
In order to enter the world's most magnificent(!!!) temple..
Yessss, they had to protect the temple, so we had to wear protective shoe covers!!! BUT IT WAS WORTH IT AS WELL. Because I’ve never seen a temple more magnificent, more luxurious, more majestic, more impressive, and I could go on and on.. I’ve always visited churches which are outstanding, nice and all, but not temples, and this is my FIRST. It beats all the temples I’ve visited hands down.
One part of the ceiling.
Colourful little Buddha statue.
I’m still in the midst of figuring out how to show you the temple because I took an overall video of the inside. It’d be too exhausting to capture every area of the temple using photos! I’d need hundreds of photos to show you them all. HEHE.
The outside of the temple!
My lovely parents & I!
A better view of the whole area
The birth of Buddha!!
This is the lotus that depicts how Buddha was born!
Buddha is born!
see how the lotus opens up?
*My apologies I have 0 intentions to publicise my religion on my blog but I have to show you what I find really impressive. I hope its an eye-opener to you too! The temple was only completed in the recent years because the last time I was here, it wasn’t existent yet.*
I did a jump shot infront of Buddha's palm. lol!
How the palm looks like!
Some really random photos up next!
If only I could bring it back...
Its a Hello Kitty storage box! They have HK all overrrr, I want!!!
JUMBO XXL WANGWANGs.
Then our first day @ the Shanghai World Expo 2010!!!
Australia Pavilion, like what it reads.
Singapore Pavilion!
I’m still pissed at myself for forgetting to give this pavilion a visit! Now I wonder whats inside…
Malaysia Pavilion! Really got the 'feeeel'.
And yes, we visited this pavilion because we didn’t need to queue!!! *flashes Malaysia passport*
Guess what?
YESS, China!
None other than the formidable China Pavilion!!
A better one!
WE WERE HAPPY.
Because we thought we could omit all the queuing as we were told we managed to ‘reserve/book’ to visit this China Pavilion. Express lane hor, see no queue behind one.
Turns out that, there's another queue inside!
Look at the crazy crowd. So apparently after you manage to ‘reserve’ a timing to visit this pavilion, you only omit the primary queue. There’s a secondary one waiting for you inside. And it took us nearly two hours to get in.
Lots of time to camwhore.
This is ME, cous, and cous-in-law. (:
A group photo (((((((:
After we came out!
A last glance @ China Pavilion!
If you’re wondering, I’d say China Pavilion was worth the 2-hours-queue. It was awe-inspiring inside, they showed the world what China could do. Thumbs up!! Its the best pavilion we visited. And also because we didn’t visit that many in the first place. HAHA. But I assure you, if the queue is only two hours, its worth the wait.
That rabbit: Macau Pavilion!
And beside = Hong Kong Pavilion! Didn’t manage to visit both.
India Pavilion and something else.
I really liked the aerial design on the India Pavilion. The crowd was overwhelming as well so we didn’t visit it too.
ice-cream endorsed by Luo Zhi Xiang and Angela Zhang!
Tried this ice-cream just because of lzx. It wasn’t awful but not nice either.
Notices at the start of the queue for Germany Pavilion
It warns: Queuing time for the Germany Pavilion is 5 hours. F-I-V-E. No kidding.
Korea Pavilion!
Again in closer up shot!
I love how the Korea Pavilion looks. Colourful and all!
One last photo!
It was crowded like this everywhere. Wherever there is a need to QUEUE.
It turns us off! We’ll never win the locals when it comes to queuing. Zzz. Packed like sardines!
SMILEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D
My favourite!
This photo reminds me that I’ve yet to try these biscuits! :)) And I realise alot of the local brand products are endorsed by artistes!
&& One last photo..
The famous Shanghai Pearl Tower..
G’night!!!! I took afew hours to complete this entry! Mad exhausted!
