Visit to Ling Shan in Wu Xi, April 2014

For my first time, I went to visit this Buddhist Temple in Ling Shan of Wuxi, China (closer to Shanghai) as I heard that the construction of the whole complex was very expensive and fabulous.... I was somewhat disappointed to  find that it is a huge tourist attraction with a theme of Buddhist relics and stories in China. Still, the theme park can attract million of tourists.

Visit to Eastern China in April 2014

During my tour to Nanjing, which was the capitol city during Song Dynasty and became the capitol of the Republic of China in 1911. I was so impressed by the brief history of 'KMT' and its rule in China, the vibrant green environment and orderly patterns of the roads in Nanjing. I also love the lakes, green plantation, flowers in Yang Zhou. Of course, the delicious food and yellow wine in Nanjing, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Ningbo will be remembered fondly. No wonder this part of China is so prosper as the citizens are enterprising and business smart.

Visit to Xi An November 2013

In November 2013, I visited Xi An, the ancient capitol city of 'Chang An' during Tang Dynasty, and it was the capitol of some 12 other dynasties in China. I found the Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum site Museum (where one can see the sites of terra cotta soldiers), the First Grand Buddhist Temple called 'Fa Men Shi', the National History Museum and the ancient City Walls in Xi An to be absolutely fascinating!
