and this bridge signifies that we are approaching our destination!

on the way to the famous laozi temple with 2700ft dragon!!

Photobucket



erm well and we lost our way and went to the wrong temple!
it has a, erm, less than 27ft long dragonn? tsk tsk..

Photobucket


still pretty nice eh?


Photobucket


Photobucket



since we couldnt find laozi temple
we decided to go to charas cave
which is abt 17km further

Photobucket


Photobucket


cute little new born puppies on the way up to the cave!


Photobucket



after 127 steps we finally reached the entrance of the cave!
and we started going in

Photobucket


Photobucket


first buddha


Photobucket


we just skipped taking pics along the way and went to the famous slpg buddha at the end


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


the cave is so big..


Photobucket


Photobucket


outside of the cave..


Photobucket



look! this are the kind of steps i took to get to the cave
scary right!!!

Photobucket



got some holy water for my dad n mom
as they decided not to go up after hearing the 127 steps..

Photobucket


everyone wants some good luck from the holy water


Photobucket


let me strike 4D plssssssssss


Photobucket


i am very sincere!


Photobucket



ok finally.. after getting lost, going to the wrong temply etc..
we are finally here! - laozi temple!

Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


and i found me in the temple too haha!


Photobucket


here is the tail of the famous 2700ft long dragon!


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


here we started our 15min walk


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket



and finally we came out from the dragon's mouth!!
touch the dragon crystal ball for good luck =)

Photobucket



we were told we cannot go in from the dragon's mouth
as they believe it signifies that you are being 'eaten' by the dragon
which is supposed to be a very bad thing
and you know why initially we couldnt find the temple?
cos the chinese name and english name were totally different!!
we kept looking for Laozi Temple
but there were only chinese signboards
so we were looking desperately for 老子庙
but in the end we found out it is actually 太上老君庙
well they are the same person but can they just standardize the translation!!
but all because we lost our way
we met them here!!!

Photobucket



relatives all the way from singapore!
omg so coincidental haha!

Photobucket



after that we continued to take a few more pictures before we go for dinner =)
the dogs n the pigs¬

Photobucket


and the moo-moos


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


and then its dinner time~


Photobucket


shark!! super delicious!


Photobucket


a so-so only pork


Photobucket


Photobucket


and best dish of the day - fresh steamed fish!!


Photobucket



after that we went to east coast mall for a walk
didnt really shop cos it was too late
just bought some snacks and drinks
and we headed back to the hotel to get some rest before we start our journey again! =D
