I slept after 12 o'clock last night. I then woke up at 1.30 a.m.
because of the noisy KTV. That man sang until 2.30 a.m.
It was lousy, terrible!
Anyway I had a better sleep than that when I was in Teochew.
I woke up a few times. I finally got up when it was almost 8 o'clock.
We took our breakfast in the small canteen of the Hotel. The lady who served was from Hunan, I called her as big sister. There were soybean milk, steamed bun, milk, fried dough, porridge and stewed radish. There was no cloth-washing service in the Hotel. Hunan big sister said that she could wash for me. I requested her to wash three pieces of my clothing and gave her 20 Yuan. Getting out of the Food Street, we walked to the Wen Temple following the same route as last night. Passing by the GuanYue Temple, we came to the mosque. We spent quite a while in the mosque seeing the history. Then we went to Wen Temple and took some pictures. The Nanyin association was closed and there was no performance in the day. After that, we walked to the Clock Tower and visited a few places there. As we were tired, we took a bowl of dessert and rest a while in the shop.
Kaiyuan Temple was the place of interest in my plan.
Kaiyuan Temple was built in AD 686. Its name was Lotus Temple. In year 738, the name was changed to Kaiyuan Temple. Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou was much bigger than Kaiyuan Temple in Teochew. We spent quite some times there. After leaving Kaiyuan Temple, we went for our lunch. We passed by the place where we were just now. And we found the Pagoda of Heart of the Town. We took our lunch at the Lam Dumpling restaurant new the Clock Tower. I took a bowl of pork soup and Teacher Hui took a bowl of beef soup, in addition to the dumplings. Those were the local famous food we searched for from the Internet. After the lunch, we took a bus to the Quanzhou Station and found out the change of High Speed Rail tickets. We had the tickets leaving from Xiamen to Teochew in the early morning of 29 July. We changed the tickets of departure time to 28 July evening.
We took a bus back to the Hotel. At the junction of the Food Street,
I saw a fast food restaurant named "Singapore" selling TeXiang chicken.
We took a cup of drink at a small shop near the Hotel.
Teacher Hui went for the foot massage and I went back to the Hotel.
Tonight we would go to Wen Temple to listen to Nanyin.
It was the main reason that I returned to Teochew after 11 years.
My right thigh was cut because I put on my new pair of trousers. It was painful when walking. Although we went to the Convenient Shop to get the plaster and paste on, but it was difficult to walk.
I was moody. But Teacher Hui was keen to meeting friend.
I asked him to go ahead to meet his friend and I would stay in the Hotel.
The main purpose for this trip was because of the Quanzhou Nanyin.
It was painful. Walking back to the Hotel, Teacher took a bowl of vermicelli. |
