BeiJinG DaY 7 - 12 JunE 25

 Woahh. 

So fast day 7 liao! 

Today shld be one of the most relaxing day liao.

Slept till 8plus.. before going for bf..

Bf at this hotel is definitely of a wider variety than that in beijing

Yummmz 

肉夹馍!!! Wahahaa

After bf, the boys had a dip in the pool, while I nua in the room. Wheeeee


And then finally out at around 2pm, to start the day.. haha.

1st went to a mall - Wanda international 

 Bought this pastry for less than sgd3, and they gave such a nice packaging wor. Even included a small wet tissue. So nice.


But the pasty itself is not v nice though. Haha.


And then the boys played a while, while I went grabbed some stuff at Watsons.  Not easy to find a Watsons here, so, v happy to finally saw one, cuz I needed to stock up on the sunscreen, face mist, and hand sanitiser.


And surprisingly, they don't sell hand sanitisers. The lady said only pharmacies sell them. Weird...

But happy to get the face mist and sunscreen. Yes!! The weather hot till I almost used up these 2 items liao!!


The sales person in Watsons were quite nice. Initially I tot they wanna psycho me into joining membership, but when I tried and had difficulty accessing their wechat, they told me they will let me use their own staff membership instead. Not bad leh, cuz membership prices were much cheaper. Helped me saved abit. Yay


Then, went to a tidbit shop and encountered an over zealous pushy salesperson. Damn, I was just looking at the tidbits, then she kept jioing me and kept giving me samples to try.

Try try try, till in the end, I abit paisay to not buy. So I tot 意思意思buy a bit. The price is go by the weight de. Then she damn hell took so much lor. In the end, total price abt sgd30+ lor. 

Grrrr. Why i so paisay uh?

Shld have just walked off!! Angry..!

Anyways, also had late lunch at this mall.

Tada! Something new!

Conveyor belt hotpot!! Haha!

V affordable. Soup base is only 9yuan which is only abt sgd1.70!! Then the skewers ranged btw 2yuan to 9yuan, if i remb correctly. But the taste, ummm, overall 还好only.


After lunch... was massage! Another new experience again!


4 of us can be in the room together, and there was a big screen in front to let us watch movie. Also come with some tidbits and fruits. What an experience!


 But i still prefer to have my massage in a quiet environment with soft music laa. Lol

After that, was to the 城墙


Boys had a VR experience up there


A very very very long stretch of 城墙to walk.


Honestly and unexpectedly, xi an is a beautiful and vibrant place. There are many nice buildings and the shops are opened till late at night. 

Also, there are many skyscrapers. Like our hdbs and condos, they come in themes. But one theme, will have many many blocks of them, easily 15blocks. So u can see one cluster of the same buildings, then next to them are the next cluster of buildings and so on so forth. All very tall, much taller than our buildings, and 密密麻麻. But from the names on the blocks, they appear to be hotels and not residential units. 

Why need so many hotels ar? So many visitors meh?


Anyways, after that was to dinner!


Many street food. But we really did not dare to try.

Found a more decent eatery and in we went!

Tada! Biang biang noodle again! Really is a 特产here. Biang biang noodle and 肉夹馍. Literally can see them everywhere!


Also tried some skewers and instant noodle in claypot. 


And we travelled a few times using the tuk tuk today. Really good for short distance rides. Typically 10 to 20yuan, depending on distance.

This is how it looks like


Hehe, 我们真的几勇敢.

Lol

BeiJinG DaY 6 - 11 JuNe 25

 Day 6 of our trip!

Joined a local tour today and the meet up timing was at 630am. So bf was just a simple bread and coffee in the room.


1st destination - 华清宫



Went in and quickly buy bf first. Haha 

Tried the 肉夹馍which is a local must eat...this 肉夹馍 thing is now v popular in sg also. Saw many places selling in sg.


Honestly can give this place a miss la. 我也不知道来这里看什么... 



Took a cable car to the top

To see the view from the top



After that was to watch a live performance 

And photo taking w the actor who acted as 秦始皇.


And then, lunch time! 吃饱饱!


After lunch was to see the terracottas 




很多人一下


And then was a VR show, before we moved to watch another live show


Makan time b4 the show started..

一条肥美但是不好吃的corn. Disappointing! Did not even taste like corn, rubbery de. Weird.


And the biang biang noodle which is also one of the must try in xi an.


Tada!

A fatter version of our ban mian. Quite nice. But not much 料de... Just some meat and mostly vegetables..


Yup, watched this 千古情. We also watched the hang zhou version when we were there last yr.


After the show, the tour ended le. And we were dropped off at this location which is near, but yet not so near, to the clock tower.

So we garangly took this transport which looked like a tuk tuk to bring us to the clock tower.

Hahaa, 几scary 一下. But good experience. Lol.


Nice vibrant place, but we were too tired to do anything meaningful here liao.


Just chilled at a juice outlet...


And packed macdonalds to eat.

Yup.

Long long day.

Walked walked walked and 晒晒晒..

Until I think I abit sunburnt liao.
