Trip to China : Day 2 at Qing Dao (青島) - Part I

Day 2:
woke up quite early in the morning heading to Lao Shan. Can't remember the exact time.. -_-|||

Pictures below:
Taken when I'm in the coach... 
Due to the fixed window (cannot open it), I could only took pictures inside the coach and theres where the reflection came from... T.T
(Excuse me for some unclear photos...)



I did not realize is a lady who drove this Ferrari until I had a view on my camera to preview photos...
anyway, what I wanna say here is "WOW"... :P

This man is trying to dry his tiny little fish.... I assume he is trying to make 江魚仔 (I do not know how it named in english so I google for awhile, Dried Anchovies, is what i found.. :P)
Here's the link which teach you how to cook these fish http://www.hongkitchen.com/2010/05/dried-anchovies-ikan-bilis-stock.html 
Photo is a lil bit shaky as I shot this while the coach is moving... plus the road is not smooth (under construction)...

hm... not really sure about what they were doing...
I myself (based on what I had seen my mum did before) assume that they are trying to take off the lil fish head...
[em...I might be wrong as well... do let me know if u know what they were doing... will be very appreciated to know... ^___^]

should I say "moving market"?
I see most goods were place on lorries...

Watermelon~~~




On the way to Lao Shan (嶗山)
It will took u a long way&time to reach the top of the hill...
If u have time and good stamina u may walk by your own to reach the top, else u may took their shuttle bus, like me, to reach the same destination...
I called this Short Cut... LOLLL

is a water dam... recent year the water had been dry out quite fast...so not much left here...
according to what my tourist guide told me... they use the water here to make Lao Shan Beer as the water here is tasty...(thats what make the beer taste good....)

village...snap snap in the shuttle bus....

Boxes, where the bees live....^^

Way in making tea... (how they dry the leaf)

Me walking on high and shaky bridge...  

Here's the outcome of the tea....
Beside it is the Shan Dong Peanuts....
Hohoho....let me tell u...
IF u go Shan Dong, u must REALLY REALLY try their peanuts....
SO SO SO Delicious~~~~
oh ya....make sure u have at least a bottle of water in hand else u will be very thirsty (as u will eat a lot... :P yam yam)
Mahjong table.... 
If u have time u may enjoy your tea while playing mahjong game... 0(^O^)0

Tibits!!


cleaning...

zoom zoom zoom :P

Rock Engraving...

Fruits:
These fruits are totally not familiar to me... I had try hard to memories the name each time the seller told me but once I turn my back I totally forget... gosh~~~



How it taste?
Taste like a raw cucumber... T.T
I personally don't like the taste...
Why?
I don like the taste of vegetable b4 cook... it taste so raw...


 another random shot...
 found this building (i don know if it is a house or ....) quite intersting...
 made by wooden....
 I switch this pic into vintage view...
 Why?
 This pic was over exposed...
 I try several time/way to recover it (maybe my edit skill still not mature enuf) but the colour look weird...
 Currently I am using Aperture 3 for photo editing....

Fruits again ^^
the colour of the fruits here isn't very accurate as they are place under a big red umbrella and I shot this in the afternoon time... with very strong sunlight...

Cherry in the basket...
If u like this basket u may only able to bought it with the cherry.... ^_^

Hotel on the hill....

I love this Dog so so so much...
why?
1) cute
2) she/he is very good in posing....




very steep mountain slope road...
Bride is unable wear high heel.... (while editing, I saw a Converse Shoes.. :P )

lil Husky... I love Husky...

Wood Carving~~
in the coach...
still with my Tilley hat on...
love this hat as it unable the air to flow in without taking off from my head...
also, this hat protect me from UV ray...
