Guilin, China Day 3 - Long Hair Village, Longji Rice Terraces, Traditional Costumes, Bamboo Chicken

Its day 3 in China
On this day
We were going on a day trip to Longji rice terraces
It was quite a long journey on the car
Driving on the winding road on a hilly mountain
Driver really must have some skills
But the view was so amazing~
Stopping by this "Long Hair Village"

Apparently
Women in this village keep very long black shiny hair due to the secret in the shampoo that they made themselves
Even old lady also has very black hair
There was a performance performed by them (Need to buy tickets)
But we just skipped it


Another village across the river
Saw this lady carrying vege while crossing the wooden bridge
After that
We went back to our car and continued our journey to Longji Rice Terraces
Driver parked the car somewhere down the hill
We took this to go up 

Here we are!

There were shops that rent out their traditional costumes for you to take pictures
Bamboo
We even had a chance to walk along the rice terraces
It was really an eye opening experience for me
So we walked all the way down hill to get our car
So fun!

Green tea leaves
Their "souvenirs" haha
Our very late lunch
Bamboo chicken
It was already evening when we reached Guilin city



Spent some time chit-chatting with each other after some light dinner
Took a stroll at the Two Rivers & Four Lakes just opposite our hotel
Call it a day~
Location: Guilin, Guangxi, China

Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (n...
