Day Three in China =)

Early in the morning, we woke up at 7 o’clock. We went opposite the school for breakfast and had the beef noodles. The beef noodles are even better than the day before. The noodles are made in front of us. We were stunt by the Chinese Muslim. He was very skillful; the way he pulls the noodles was fantastic. After eating noodles, we went to buy Xiao Long Pao. We brought away 3 packets. One for us, and the another two for our friends.

At 11am sharp, the bus arrived to our hostels. The bus took 5 hours to reach the destination – Yi Chang. At Yi Chang, Mrs. Tan, our tour guide brought us to the famous restaurant for our dinner – Shi Jia Zhuang. At around 6 o’clock sharp, finally we entered to our cruise. We were told that the cruise was four star graded. However, when I entered into the cruise, I was stunned. It was actually a two star cruise if it is graded in Singapore. The cruise travelled along the China famous’ Chang Jiang. We were impressed by the barrage they built. At first, it was a 20meter high barrage, and the gate of the barrage is 600 tonnes. It was my first time seeing a cruise lifted up to 20meter high by a barrage technology. It was amazing. Then, Mrs. Tan told us what is even more surprising, going through the 5 stages of barrage with is 113 meter high. Oh my Goodness!?? Five times higher than the first one? At that moment, I already had no comment, but to say, China, you are amazing. In the cruise, we kept taking pictures on the barrages, and the buildings along the river, and we ended our day in the tiny little room that we have.
