China - Feng Huang/Pheonix Town
Well I'm back from China! I actually wrote a detailed post on the disgusting habits of the Chinese people, but I decided that I won't publish it because I sound all angsty and unappreciative. So I shall just summarise it. Basically be prepared for pushing, smoking spitting, litter throwing, hardselling, paying for toilet usage and tipping at EVERY SINGLE PLACE YOU CAN IMAGINE. No kidding. And I REALLY emphasise the hardselling and tipping you'll be facing as tourists.

So let's start with Day 1.
Flight from SG to Shanghai, then transit to a domestic plane to Zhang Jia Jie. FFFFF UUUU tours, how can this be counted as 1 day?



Day 2
The next morning we took the bus and drove out of Zhang Jia Jie to Feng Huang, also known as Pheonix Town. It is said to be one of the most beautiful villages in China, but I strongly disagree. The town has become very commercialised, and it looks more like a village of tourist shops rather than a historical site. The itinerary stated that we'll get to appreciate both the day and night scene of Phoenix Town. But to our horror, it gets worst at night! The whole place turns into a village of BARS. It sucks to know that many places are getting very commercialised to bring in tourist revenue.

Pictures from ZZJ to Pheonix town. For the first time in my life I actually saw a large scale terracing, complete with the farmer and ox walking through the paddy fields. It's amazing seeing how people live away from the city life.






First toilet break. Words can't describe how horrible this particular toilet is. Think paying 1Yuan, nasty smell, barely a wall in between the squatting "toilets"(basically you can see a person's everything).




First meal in China! Can anyone guess what's the meat show on the satay stick?





Arrived at our destination - Phoenix town





















Me being a sucker, went to a cafe (of all places wtf) to have Tiramisu + Caramel Macchiato (of all food wtf). Someone shoot me for having Italian food in a Chinese town.





Pheonix town during the night.








Look at the number of bars!




Spent one night at the hotel before we head back to ZZJ the next day.
