Trip to China

June 6th 2009.
Since the outbreak of H1N1 I was told not go anywhere but staying at home. Well! Do you seriously think that a person that loves photography likes to stay at home? Haha. I was thinking should I withdraw from this trip or not but ended up boarding Air Asia AK102 and on my way to the wonderland.



Morning Flight

I always avoid seats near wings in order to get a perfect view when landing but this is exceptional for being the first shot of the day. I wish the airplane is 360 degree transparent so that I can shoot whatever angle I want.


China

Do you guys know that pumping petrol in China is RMB6.07 for ron 97 which is equivalent to RM3.145 so stop complain about the fuel hike!!!


Cultural Dance

This small kid were dancing along with the performers.


舞

I think I was lucky to get this shot being at the right time and right position. A slower shutter speed was used to achieve the moving feel.


Bamboo Raft
\
A place where "liu shan jie" (刘三姐) film. We were force to sing 山歌 with the lady. According to the locals you need to pawn the ladies that you like by singing 山歌 being lyrically strong, and if you win the lady she will marry you but if you lose you have to work as a slave for 3 years. so to sing or not to sing?

Silver Cave

I could not get a wider angle for this to get the WOW effect. When I first stop here for a moment I though " WOW, DEEP!!" but later found out that it was a 2 inch lake. It really makes me feel like I am at the peak of some mountain. In this cave you will get to know 人之初, will not say it here but if you really eager to know more, just visit this cave.
P.S ok, I know the center line is abit off but this is all i can get. enjoy.


Yangshou West street

why is called west street in the middle of china town? According to the tour guide because lots of foreigner loves to hang around here.
