29th August 2009
Wake up early in the morning, spent 30min to get ready ourself, have buffet breakfast at hotel, finish eating, our tour guide already waiting for us outside the hotel lobby.
9am, we head to our first stop ~ 明十三陵-- 定陵
This is the grave of the great emperor 朱翊钧 and his two queen.
We have to walk underground to the place they put his coffin. Miss Ta explaining alot of things to us along the way. And we can see that there is really big different between The king & the queen, at least the size of their coffin already got a very big different.. hehe..
The structure of 定陵
All the tree there with red tag mean its over 300 years old
The chair of the Great Emperor
We spent about 1 and half hour there just to walk in and out of the whole structure of the underground building, and ofcoz the garden outside the building too~ tired walking around, we saw a small stall selling ice-cream, and yes~ ICE-CREAM time~
Before we leave, we bought some peaches at the entrance there, its so sweet crunchy & juicy~! Yummy Yummy~ Cheryl the fruit freak must love it very much~! hehe :P
Lunch time~ we had our lunch at a very nice restaurant with we have our own VIP room, hehe most of the restaurant in china have those VIP room.. is very popular there~ ^^
Total of 12 dishes, only 8 of us, we all roll our eye BIG and looking at all the food served for us. GOSH how are we going to finish it?~!
Finish eating, yea we eat only half of the food thats on the table, and the elders start complaining to Miss Ta, don't serve too much food, we Malaysian not use to "waste" all the food.. just serve us maximum 8 dishes is enough, we want quality but not quantity~!
Our next stop of the day is - The Great Wall of China
There is few different part of Great Wall which allowed people to climb up, the one we go is more well maintain and the flooring also not too slippery~
We first wait at the entrance, Miss Ta go get the ticket for us. While waiting for her, we busy snap some pic first..
Took group pic at the entrance. Notice there is a red colour board at the right hand side?
Nanny is not going up with us, as she ady went up once last time, and now she just wait for us down there at the entrance. There weather is good, windy and abit of cooling, at least we wont sweat when climbing up.
I never imagine that i can actually make it, but we walk slowly, have some rest every 10 min walk, take some pic, laugh, chit-chat, and helping each other.. Finally, we were at the place where we can claim our certificate - 好汉证书, to prove that we were there~ But we dint get the cert coz we got alot of pic to remind ourself that ~ we were there!!
This is the back view of the board we saw at the entrance.. we were on top of it ady..
After resting for awhile there, we decided to keep on going, climb up further more~! YES we can do it~! haha..
We finally give up after 20min more walking up, we still need to save some energy for walk down the hill.. They say going down spent more energy then climbing up.. and its true.. I can feel my leg shaking when walking down..
Around 5pm, we back at the entrance, meet up with nanny and Miss Ta, we then heading to the restaurant for our dinner~ On the way to the restaurant, we pass by the Bird Nest & Water Cube Stadium~ and quickly snap some pic of them..
We had our dinner at a concept restaurant, they served buffet, teppanyaki, and also Chinese food. Again we were in our own VIP room, enjoy the atmosphere and the food alot~!
Finish dinner, everyone is tired like hell.. go back to hotel, shower, and rest...
Thats all for day 2..
