Wuyuan Day 2 & 3

There was no sun these 2 days, but thank God there was no rain either :) This is Likeng. It's a small village where most villagers living here have the surname Li. The building design was from Ming/Qing dynasty. The buildings look really old but on our way back some people told us it's built such a way to mimic the old buildings and they are not really that old. I was a bit disappointed after hearing that.. but I'm not sure if his words are true.. nevertheless it's an interesting place.

I was standing on a small hill and trying to imagine what life was like back in Qing dynasty..

I thought this look like a giant cookie.. but it's very crispy and salty!

This dog, stood in the middle of the bridge the whole time, was actually waiting for the return of its owner. We know coz we saw her coming back and it was super happy.. aww :)

 晴天娃娃 Teru teru bōzu, which brings good weather and keep the rain away :)

Finally.. on the way to mountain top to see snow.. but in the end I gave up.. simply because it was toooooooo cold >.< and it was too foggy to see anything. But this was the first time I see snow in the past 10 or so years. Despite the cold weather I was still quite excited but still the excitement can't beat the cold.. haha.

Wuyuan China

Reporting from China! My dad has to go Fu Jian for his work stuff so he decided to drop me at some countryside along the way to let me explore the beauty of nature. Lol. Of course he did not just threw me at some random rural place, but he actually went to research and found out this place called Wuyuan is a very famous tourist site and it's on the way so.. yea.. I'm still at Wuyuan now and indeed this is a lovely place! Just that the time of visit is not so ideal. The best time to visit during the year is probably April to May, the harvesting season or actually 2 weeks ago (late November), where the maple trees were at full blossom and you get to see their signature autumn scene. Well, for now it's quite awkward, the weather is getting very cold and the maple leaves have all fallen, leaving just bare branched behind, they look so naked and cold. Nevertheless it's a very beautiful place, at least it's real nature (compared to Gardens by The Bay -.-). It feels really very different from city, the way the villagers live, eat, communicate, all so different. It's good to visit place like this once in a while especially for me.. after exams.. so even though it's not the right timing, I am enjoying myself :)

Weather is quite nice today. They said it's the best place to see sunrise or sunset but I missed both. I wasn't early enough for the sunrise and I can't stay late enough to catch the sunset, or else there will be no transport back to my hotel :/

Picking up some fan-shape leaves.

Naked. Sigh..

The only tree I found to still exhibit bits of autumn.

Found this right next to a small path. I almost stepped on it OMG :O
