A Ball of yummy....

by myspices

While walking towards YuFeng Gongyuan in the morning, we happened to see some locals crowded round a pushcart and as usual, being curious, we took a peek...wow! food! and it looks good. We saw the vendor scooped a big spoonful of the glutinous rice onto a plastic , made a hole in the centre of the rice and put all the yummy stuff into the rice and made it into a ball. We took our turn and keeping our fingers acrossed that it will not be sold off then as the portion on the pan looks like it is finishing. Luckily...we got our share in tasting this "ball of yummy"!

See another picture attached on "Ball of yummy" "Ball of yummy" consists of the following :-

*chopped szechuan veggie with meat*
* a spread of margarine *
* crunchy "yu tiao" - chinese deepfried pastry *
* a cut of the chinese sausage *

Price : 1.5yuan, with sausage, without it, it's only 1yuan

Have wheels will travel..

by myspices

It does not matter how many wheels you have .... two wheels, three wheels or more.... the load has to be transported. Incredible huge loads are moved here and there by all means of transports. Lots of 2 wheelers and 3 wheelers are used to carry heavy and bulky stufff - a common sight on the street.

Public Singing - great music!

by myspices

When you are in the park/garden and you happened to hear someone singing or playing the music, follow where it comes from. You will find that there are lots of public singers and musicians practising their talents here. You can sit and watch them sing and play the musical instruments in enjoyment. The singers will usually render the old traditional "hill songs" and the "orchestra" that accompanying her consists of the 'er-hua" player, the flute player and "saxaphone" player. Hearing these songs and music in the wide open garden and park really gives you a refreshing sense.

Liuzhou - there's Beauty in it ...

"Mostly Industries but Seek, You will find..."

.....scenic spots and interesting walks along the town. Liuzhou, being a stop over for us before arriving Guilin from Nannning has proved to an interesting place to be for a day. We took the train from Nanning to Liuzhou, arriving Liuzhou at about 2.15pm. As usual, we stayed at the lodge near to the railway station. You can move around this city easily as most places are within walking distance - that is if you love to walk, otherwise, it is convenient to catch the public transport to all these places.

See more pictures of the city of Liuzhou in my Travelogue titled "City Scenes of Liuzhou"

"Liuhou Gongyuan (Park/Garden)"

One of the scenic spots is this park/garden called the Liuhou Gongyuan which was to commemorate the famous poet and scholar, Liu Zhongyuan

"Industrial city of Liuzhou"

Liuzhou has a couple of tall mountains. There are also some tall buildings nested within the crowded city. The city is modern with clean streets and many streets are heavily trafficed.
