Ben's Adventures in China
As some of you know, our buddy Ben Wong is proposing a trip to various parts of China. And Ben does know China pretty well as he has been there some 7 or 8 times. Here are some photos that reflect adventures that he and his family took in the Middle Kingdom.

Guangzhou pedestrian mall in Beijing Road,notice the Chinese Kungfu (Bruce Lee)is the famous Chinese fastfood equivalent to KFC and Mcdonalds.So many of them in major cites in China serving delicious rice dishes next to their rivals.Must try when in China.

Zhuhai is the Chinese border city to Macau and the border is Gongbei and behind the builing in the picture is Macau and you can just walk across.

Another scenic photo of mountains and river in Yangshao a town surrounded by mountains near to Guilin. Notice the bamboo river raft... must seat in one and enjoy the scenery when in Guilin / Yangshao.

Very nice holiday photos, Ben. Did you make all the arrangements in Msia (KCH?) - i.e flights, accomodation and tours?
ReplyDeleteBen, wonderful pics.
ReplyDeletewell...guys, it is better to see the real thing...LOL...so sign with Ben and he will lead you to more fantastic, adventurous, beautiful places in China.
Is Norbert going there next month? I am sure he'll be singing...
All my bags are packed...I'm ready to go... :-)
Norbert, I am sure you will have a good time there. Cheers!
Thanks John,Actually most of the time i buy Airasia direct flight cheap tickets to Macau from Kuching.Macau is the gateway to southern China and HK and the transport system there is very2 efficient and cheap compare to KL.You can also take the casino buses from Macau airport to the casino and trasfer to another bus to get to China border,Zhuhai for free.I usually travel on my own and lead my group,i never join tour from Kch.to China / HK or most places that i have travelled.Just do a bit of research in the internet and here i go even with just my wife and my son who is 13 yrs old.I can travel in most cities in China now eventhough i hvnt been to.My first trip to Guilin i lead the group of 13 people as you can see in the group photo minus my son who was the photographer.
ReplyDeleteBTW we are going next month with some of the boys to Macau,Zhuhai Shenzhen,HK,Dongguan and Guangzhou for 7days trip.Briefly will visit the spring Guangzhou fair from 17-23 April 2010.Anyone wants to join just buy your tickets to Macau the same day and we will meet at the airport regardless your arrival time from any destination ...no joke,iwill be there to meet you guys.

ReplyDeleteNorbert is coming as well as Edward Chin,Robert Chin,Anthony Chung,Ng Joon Phin,and Chris Chu our junior in School and 3 others...Men's trip to look see ,look see...and later trip we will bring their families along to other destinations in China...maybe Lijiang in Yunnan.
It will definately be a very interesting trip for all of us....lots of foot and body massage everyday for our hetic trip.Sight seeing,shopping and lots of food and...entertainment.
Will be travelling in the fast train,will also try the latest and fastest bullet train for a short distance and have lunch there and back to base, intercity buses and the city subway.Sorry guys no tour bus waiting for us at the hotel.We have to look and run for the bus and train.....
Oui, where are all the wives? Only MEN trip kah??
ReplyDeleteLooking for "siaw loong nie" trip kah?....hehehe
ReplyDeleteLet the boys have their space lah. Next time maybe we want an Only WOMEN trip too. hehehe
ReplyDeleteyour hanyu punyin sucks! it's "xiao loong nu"
ReplyDeleteI just came back from school holiday trip with my kids and parents to SHenzhen & Shantou. SO I am grounded for April! Looks like I will miss this great trip! Had lots of exciting things happen in our free-&-not-so-easy trip! Can be quite harrowing!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Ben!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to your free and easy trip Richard?
ReplyDeleteWanna share with us the harrowing experience,so that others dont fall to the same experience or tourist trap...
Thanks PC hope you could join us for the Macau/China/HongKong trip next month...remember we were talking about it last year during our mini reunion in KL...
ReplyDeleteYes Gerard, all my bags are packed I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside Ben's door, I hate to wake him up to say 'quickly Ben let's go!'
ReplyDeleteThanks Gerard, we'll sure have a good time there, sad though you and all can't join us. Think we'll turn Macau upside down if more can join us huh?
Hi...Norbert and all those going on the trip.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time and we will all be eagerly waiting to see the fab holiday pics. Btw, Norbert, do not forget your toothbrush and your razor!!! Got to keep your beard nicely trim, do you know that those girls in China like bearded men with shinning white teeth!!!!!.....lol
how much luggage can we bring, Ben?
ReplyDeleteFor luggage bring along a cabin sized trolley bag and a small backpack.
ReplyDeleteTravel light, bring along disposable underwear, hand sanitiser,wet wipe, 3in1 coffee or Milo ,China coffee is no good unless you want to go for Starbucks....
Hi John, thanks, sure I'll bring my razor along too, we'll wait and see how everything comes out especially with the 'girls and beard and white teeth stuff'.
ReplyDeleteOur good friend Ben will have lots of photos to show after the trip cos he'll be our photographer cum guide for the trip.
Girls in China likes bald headed man or not ho?
Hai John, yeah, the girls do like guys with beard, well, not very much though. They just curious so they like to have a 'feel' of my beard by merely touching it. Bearded guys are few in China, only seen one man with beard after passing through a few cities.
