Guilin Li River

Uncle Tan 123 shoot around 8 a.m

Mending the net - the fishes are  small catch .

The autumn feel

Someone swimming on the left

Elephant tree trunk hill

Elephant tree trunk hill and  new houses

Elephant tree trunk hill - Now it looks more like an elephant

Very well focused on Mr and Mrs Wan . However she was to shy! Smile my dear friend. No second chance. Cannot help less than 3 seconds.

Elephant tree trunk hill - shallow water

Fisherman and cormorants.

Elephant tree trunk hill - Look at the person on top of the building -How sharp !

Beside the Li river

Someone swimming this early in the morning

At the center of the Li River - Water was very shallow and crystal clear

Look on top of the hill What is that ?

Hills near Li River

Look on top of the hill

Too Hot - The shade

 Don't know since no one want to take photos - Just get someone to snap. I think the view  is beautiful. Any way this song -for my Uncle Wan

Stop to worry about me my dear  -Wan Kim Fan & Ng Soke  Yin

 You always remind me on little things, on what I need  to do

And sometimes I got a bit annoyed, cause  I can handle all those little things

You would always give me advice, what I supposedly not to try.

And you knew sometimes I got carried away, on those insignificant things

Chorus

Don’t you have to worry about me, my dear, cause I can manage what is mine

I have always taken each thing at a time and enjoy every minute of my life.

Can you stop to worry about me, my dear, cause I have always made it on time

 I would want to enjoy the present moment with you dear, for the rest of our lives.

Gurong's Bridge

Look at the craving - Bottom right side

Another view with ultra wide angle

Poem !

My god baby - too commercialize even pregnant women !

Crystal bridge. At certain angles you will see rainbow colours (  bottom right ) but the spot is  capitalised by people . You need to pay.

Sun and Moon Twin Towers - Day

Platform - at night i passed and heard people singing 80's songs Wang Jet, Bobby Chen Sen, Chang Sen Jee, Angus  Tung Ann Ker etc. More Taiwanese songs while i was enjoying my photography

Minority ethnic food restaurant - Great varieties Spot Uncle wan or Mr Ng and Madam Chee !

 Sun and Moon Twin Towers at night .Spent more than 2 hours here and near Li river by myself. But i want to capture - Rongshan Lake, Jiuquqiao and Sun and Moon Twin Towers all in one. Seen it in a pamphlet - water system in Guilin. It will cost RMB900 from a room view, according to our local tour guide. I asked if there is no alternatives.   

Sun and Moon Twin Towers- My little family for eight days went to shopping except me - A road less traveled  but i enjoyed it very much. Indescribable feel not to worry to stroll around as i am a Chinese and could converse. Saw a few foreigners while i was there. Met a few photographers as i was waiting for their spots to snap. So if you go there make sure not shopping at night. Walk till you drop and of course you must be adventurous too.

Impression of  Guilin

We have heard of it and dreamt about, this place for a long time.

Could not have believed that we are standing here right now.

We have seen the paradise that will last this long life time.

Could be here forever and enjoy the beauty of its right now.

Never have I ever imagined that  Guilin was more beautiful at night.

Where neon light were here and there, dim and glow, at their very best

And lovers met by the river side with moonlight romance till twilight.

Where many poets have described that ,east or west, Guilin is the best

Love the new buildings and the lights. Some one asked if i was going fishing as i did not collapse the tripod . Its was dark, so they guessed

Sun and Moon Twin Towers . Some photographers asked- Is there a magical fountain on display tonight ? I answered , i don't know cause it might have. Last week was China 's national holidays.Uncle fishing at night ! Are they allowed ???

Sun and Moon Twin Towers Uncle fishing and smoking at night

The  Rongshan lake at night

The lake at night and the bridge we passed this morning

The lake at night and the bridge we passed this morning another spot round it

Sun and Moon Twin Towers , next is the jetty, for the lake cruise RMB60. I can recall my flicker contact Dennis Jarvis took it. He is such an excellent photographer , going all the places and sharing it.
