Day 6
It was our 1st ever family trip and it was to China. We (12pax) traveled to Macau, Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Foshan and Shenzen from 26th Aug to 1st Sept 2010. We flew from Penang to Macau and daddy dropped us at the airport as early as 5.15am. We were greeted by our Macau tour guide upon arrival at around 10.30am. Day 1 we visited Fisherman's Wharf, Penha Hill, Ah-Ma Temple, St. Paul's Ruin and Venetian Casino. At about 4.30pm, we crossed the Macau border and headed to Zhuhai, where we were greeted by the China tour guide, Xiao Wang. We checked in to the hotel and later had our 8-course dinner at the hotel. After our dinner, we took a cab and checked out Zhuhai Underground Plaza. Mummy didn't managed to get anything from there, so it was basically just a window shop.
Our tour of Day 2 started as early as 6.30am with the morning call from the hotel. We had our breakfast in the hotel before transferred to the Zhuhai-Macau border. We then proceeded to the Lover's Road to view the Zhuhai's Mermaid Statue. We went over to Shijing Hill where we took the cable car up to the peak to view the scenic scenery. Emeryn was crying all the way up to the peak as she was scare of the heights and the cable car movement. It was a lil' scary even for mummy too, seems like there was no proper security measure taken. Emeryn took the cable car with ah kong and por por while going down whereas mummy joined the young and adventurous gang going down with the "adrenalin rush" bumper car. We had our lunch after that and proceeded to New YuanMing Palace where we learn and understand the China dynasty. We ended our day 2 with street shopping at Lian Hua Pedestrian Street.
On Day 3 we transferred to Guangzhou where we visited YueXiu Garden, 5 Rams Statue, HuangHuaGang Statue and Ancestral Temple of Chen Family. After checking in to the hotel, Emeryn took a quick bath-tub shower before we walked out for our nite shopping at Beijing Road. Mummy managed to purchased 3 dresses at a very reasonable price. Por por and ah kong brought Emeryn back to the hotel 1st since she fell asleep in her stroller.
Day 4 would be the highlight of our trip; where we are suppose to meet our China relative. They are mummy's grandpa's bro and his family at Foshan. Before leaving Guangzhou, we visited the Bright Fillal Piet Temple and Jintai Temple. After lunch, we then proceeded to Bruce Lee's Ancestral House which took about 1hour journey. Finally after another 2hours of journey, we reached Foshan Ancestral Temple and also visited Huang Fei Hong Memorial Hall. After went through all the itineraries of the day, we finally met our distance relative for a dinner. It was such an undescribable moments and happiness spurred on all of us during the meet-up of 2hours. We exchanged souvenirs before we left. We then checked in to the hotel before crossing the road opposite the hotel for a shop at the complex.
Day 5 was where we took 2 hours to travel to Shenzen from Foshan. Our first stop was Red Forest followed by another temple visit and then lunch. We then proceeded to Deng Xiao Ping Statue where we climbed about 500 steps staircase to reach the top. Emeryn was one of the top climber that day where she surprised us with her full energy climbing up and down. She is the lil' marathon in line soon. As a reward, mummy allowed her to have a ride on the kiddy ride once she reached the base. Bravo & well done, Emeryn. Our last visit of the day was to the Window of the World. We walked on our own instead of taking the tram and we were given 3.5hours to complete our tour. Unfortunately we did not managed to walk through all the places. We had our dinner before the driver dropped us back at the hotel. We went for a shopping spree at Dongmen Pedestrian Street after that. Mummy brought 9 dresses in just 1.5hours at a very very cheap price. She was another happy woman on earth on that night. Haha.
Day 6 marked the last full day during our trip. We were sent to LouHu shopping district but too bad most of the shop were not open at that time. Emeryn requested mummy to get her a toy and finally we bought a board game. Mummy didn't managed to find the educational touch pen for Emeryn. We went for lunch after that. We had a quick stop-over at Garden Expo Park right after lunch. All of us were too tired to walk up to the peak just to witness the logo itself due to the hot temperature. We then proceeded to Splendid China and Cultural Village. All of us were too tired to walk, instead we opt for the tram. We had a short walk around before heading for the horse show and later the cultural show. It was amazing and all of us were impressed by the performance. We had our dinner and then shopped for some souvenir before heading for the last show in the evening. We transferred to Dongmen Pedestrian Street right after leaving Splendid China. Mummy continued her shopping, as expected.
Day 7 was our last day at Shenzen. After our breakfast at the hotel, we headed to the airport. Sayornara China!!! We reached LCCT at around 3.15pm and waited for 6hours before our flight back to Penang. Daddy picked us at the airport and we finally stepped into our home sweet home at around 12 midnite.
After all, it was a tiring trip but it was also a great one with great accommodation, great planning, great shopping, great companion and GREAT!!!!
