Guilin Part 1 - The local life and food

Used to hear that "桂林山水甲天下" which means the best scenery under the roof of sky is located at Guilin...and this time, I have finally able to witness her beauty myself... However, don't hope too much on their food...

Guilin is considered a very recent developed city with well planned... as I saw, the residents here mostly riding motorbike, electrical bike, public transport or walking... environmental friendly...

The streets were broad and well decorated with plantation...people were walking quickly but drive slowly...young girls make up very nicely but talk loudly...

Still people washing clothes at river side? or just demonstrating to us on how people wash clothes in old days?

Then we have this fresh water fish from the river that aunty washed clothes...
Fried lotus roots and mushroom were very special as I never ate before...delicious but very oily...as can see the shinny reflection on the pictures...
Chicken was very skinny and rough...I guess it was the villages' poultry...
Bird soup with herbs...Chinese love herbs soup...can enhance body strength and health?
Despite, Guilin is famous of this fermented bean curd...and really must try...very good taste especially eat with plain porridge...
Chinese here also love to drink...and their beer is almost three times cheaper than in Malaysia...

But come to breakfast, I kinda miss "nasi lemak"...the pictures would tell why....

Four star hotel...
And the service crew like to play "hide and seek"...
They enjoyed the food served on table too...just take and put into mouth...
Well...the most familiar things here was...
McDonald's...
 Why no Ladies' Day half price promotion??
We walked around the lake and also night market...even 2 am still crowded with people...
Musical fountain...
 Bridge made of glass...
 I guess this is the only historical building here...
 Busy junction...
 7-11's pinky sister??
 The night market...
 All sort of braised...
 Durian...
 Watsons's surname is "wat"...
Shoes brushing service...
Pretty Chinese girl....
