DAY TRIP TO FOSHAN (NANHAI CCTV)

Since we were in Guangzhou for a few days, why not spread our wings a little further to its neighbouring city. So, we decided to visit Foshan. Foshan ni terkenal dengan kungfu. dngr citer, Bruce Lee punya umah2 moyang saudara2 sume ada kat sini...hehehe...

A little background info about Foshan:

Foshan is located in the northern part of the Pearl River, 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Guangzhou. Foshan is a modern city. It was one of the earliest ports to engage in foreign trade since China's open door policy. It also has become the third largest city in Guangdong Province, combining its manufacturing industries with tourism. The top attractions in and a round the city are many. Highlights include Xiqiao Mountain, Foshan Zumiao (Ancestral) Temple, Sanshui Lotus World, Ancient Nanfeng Kiln, Bruce Lee Ancestor's House, Nanhai Kwan-yin Temple and Qinghui Garden. The Zumiao Commercial Street is a must-go place for shopping. There are big shopping malls and plazas where all kinds of local handicrafts can be found. In addition, there are many famous restaurants, Cafes, pubs and teahouses for visitors to enjoy (adapted from Foshan Travel Guide)

Hati ni mula-mula berbelahbagi jugak, nak pergi ke taknak. Tak banyk info tentang Malaysians yang ke sini saya dapat dari blog-blog. Penatlah carik memang x ada rasanya, except from a few write-ups from foreign travellers. I also dug some info from Trip advisor and Google. I guess most of my information i gathered from Trip Advisor.

Berbekalkan 3 days Metro Pass ni, kami memulakan perjalanan ke kota Foshan.

Pagi tu, lepas breakfast, kami memulakan perjalanan dari Sun Yat Sen Station ke Zuimiou Station. atau dalam Bahasa Inggerisnya, Ancestral Station (line1). Ada 2 kali pertukaran kat sini. Dari Sun Yet Sen, kami transit di Gongyuanqian dan Xilang, sebelum sampai Zuimiou. Masa travel dalam 1 jam.

After an hour...

sampai dah kami ke central Foshan, Zumiou.

Kat Zumiou ni sendiri ada banyak attractions within walking distance aja. Antaranya, the ancestral Temple. Temple ni dapat #1 attraction di Trip Advisor. Siap boleh tengok lion dance dalam ni. Muzium Ip Man pon ada dalam temple ni. Dari metro, jalan kaki dalam 2-3 minit aja, sampaila. Bayaran masuk murah aja, tp x ingat berapa...

Pintu depan ancestral temple.

Kami x masuk ancestral temple tp dok berangan posing kat depan2 dan sekitarnya. Jom layan gambar...

Tidak sepadat Guangzhou

Kami sebenarnya plan nak p berangan kat Nanhai CCTV Town. Nanhai CCTV ni is one of the four Movies & TV bases of China Central Television, ada three scenic spots and one performing area. Dulu2 memang ramai filmamakers buat felem kat sini..tp skrg x pasti... Tempat ni Agak jauh dari central, dekat Nanhai. Malas nak naik bas, so, kami naik cab. Masa pergi kami naik dua cab tapi masa balik, kami naik teksi sapu, sumbat 5 org dalam cab. Ustaz dok depan, kami berempat kat belakang....hahaha.. nasib x lama sangat..Bayaran RMB90 sehala. Bahagilah 5 orang. Tiket masuk pon RMB90. Agak mahal tapi berbaloilah tengok2 show bagai. Lagipon datang dari jauh, takkan x masuk kot...
