Rocky Palace In China

Did you know:

In China, to keep their hands warm during winter, their motorbikes handles have these...

Interesting eh. If Malaysian use these gloves, I think fungus would grow in it. Yukesss!!!

**********************************************************************

In China, specifically in one of the provinces, there's this house filled with many different shapes of rocks. It is the Emperor's vacation home. This place is not anywhere near the capital city. Trust me. I travelled there by bus and slept god-knows how many hours before I arrived. That's why I don't actually enjoy travelling in China. Urgh...tiring.

Many centuries back, there's no bus or road. All travelling was done by foot. So, what makes this place so interesting that the Emperor spend ONE WHOLE MONTH by foot just to get here?

History had it that the Emperor came here once and since then he loved this place so much, he came here every year. Well, it's not him who'll do the walking anyway. So, I bet he didn't feel tired at all.

This place is special in its infrastructure. The rocks here are not ordinary rocks. Every rocks resembles something. Mainly lions (cause all I could see are lions...haha!!!).

Try spotting the 9 lions in this picture. I also can't manage to find all till now.

(ignore the woman at the bottom. Can't even take a decent picture with such crowd around. Grr!)

I love technology. Random eh. Haha! That's because many year back, when there's no camera, the Emperor had to stand at this bridge for hours just to have an art of him at this place drawn. Pity pity. =P

And it only took me few seconds to take this picture. Wakakaka!

Traditional China houses are really luxurious and calming in it. They even have their own lake inside. It's like a totally different world in it. If only my house is this big. Bummer!

That's my sister. Very long didn't see her already. Kinda miss her now...hmmm. Now, focus on the background. NOT HER. =D

The whole place is not only filled with weird shape rocks, these rocks also form tunnels and tunnels. The Emperor maintained this place for his vacation home was also because he loved the tunnels. He enjoyed walking through the tunnels for hours without seeing an end.

Try spotting another lion here....

The place is so huge. Doors after doors after doors. It's like I was walking in circles. This family must be damn rich at that century.

Still can't find? Look closer at the rock in middle of the picture. You'll see this...

Voila! Exactly like a lion with legs and tail. Tho the face is a bit distorted. It's a rock afterall.

I can't remember where's this place anymore. I went there during February and that was like months ago. So, if you're interested, check out with the travel agencies about this place or just follow the tour with Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing and etc in it. They'll definitely drop by this place. =)
