Today I took an adventure opportunity and headed of to visit "San You Dong" (Three Visitors Cave)I did some detective work and found out that I needed a number 10 bus to take me there and headed of bravely into unknown territory with NO Chinese phrase book for security (lol). It is about a thirty minute bus ride (still only costs 1 yuan)
It was an interesting ride through more parts of the city I'm not familiar with and then along the river and into the spectacular scenery that this city seems surrounded by. When I arrived I stepped off the bus and immediately felt hungry...it was close to lunch time so I bought my entry ticket and then told the lady at the gate that I would like to eat something and asked where could I go to eat? She pointed to two restaurants that she obviously recommended, so I picked one and ventured inside :-) I again said I would like to eat something (lol) not too spicy (haha) and Yes that there was only me !(I can't read the Menus because they are all written in Hanzi(Chinese Characters). The girl asked if Pork was o.k....I said yes and she seated me at a table...
I'm only giving you such a run down on the situation because I'm proud of myself for negotiating all this in Chinese :-)anyway...turns out I ended up with a nice dish of Pork with Tofu, Celery, Ginger and Rice. I got the usual compliments on my chopstick skills :-) and the owner came out and asked if it was not too spicy for me....I understood all this....SO COOL !
After I had refueled I went exploring...just have a look at this beautiful spot..
Apart from a beautiful walk all around the mountain area to see all the different sights, you can also take rides on speed boats, bungee jump and other activities...
Whilst there I took quite a few photo's and have found it hard to choose which ones to put on my blog, so here is another link to them all if you wish to have a peek.All you have to do is click on the picture below.
