Charming Autumn
China, Here We Come (9)

We visited Xinchang Dafosi scenic spot after breakfast.
That was first stop for our Zhejiang tour. When I was aboard the coach and looked for a seat, I saw Fang Bing Yi was sitting at the rear seat with his wife. He waved to me and I went and sat at the rear seats. There were five seats. Ping Yi and his wife were sitting at one end and I was sitting at the other end. There were two vacancies in between of us. I enjoyed sitting there with a peaceful mind.

When we were at the entrance, we had to take a carriage to go to the scenic spot. We broke into three groups and the tourist guide Mr Shen reminded us to remember the carriage we took. After visiting, I went back to the carriage and found that my seat was occupied. The first carriage was moving towards the entrance and I did not know where I could look for a vacant seat. One of the members saw me and shouted, "Come and squeezed in here." I ran towards the carriage and the second carriage had moved. "Thank you, sister!" I was wondered what was happened. I wished I did not have any seat when we were in Shantou and Jieyang. Then I could go home.

Dafosi is located at the south-west of Xinchang County, in between of the valley of Nanming Mountain and Shicheng Mountain. There are green hills and clear waters. There are jagged mountain rocks and strong old trees. There are vast waterfalls and slow flowing streams.


The second stop was Shijiufeng (nineteen peaks) scenic spot.
Before crossing the bridge, Mr Shen reminded us to be very careful and tried not to take photo while on the bridge.

The water was not rapid, but I was a little nerve. Lily was walking in front of me. She always stopped and took photo. I had to stop too and could not move with a smooth and steady momentum. Her voice also made me could not have a peaceful mind. I asked her stop taking pictures and keep moving. She suddenly dodged to my back and said, "Are you afraid? Let you walk in front of me." My goodness! The bridge was narrow and I was very nerve with her action. I was luck that I saw Ping Yi in front of me and he asked me to hold on to his shoulders.

We took our lunch at the restaurant where an acrobatic fighting film shot a scene here.

Shijiufeng scenic spot is located 22 km south-west of Xinchang County. The mountains, rocks, waterfalls, streams, ponds are very beautiful.

I wanted to take some flowers with micro mode, but I forgot the method to set my camera. My son taught me before hand. It was simple, but I just could remember.

When we came to the bridge again on the way back, I made sure Lily was not somewhere nearby. I was happy that I could cross the bridge with a peaceful mind. Shuhui told me that she was nerve. I asked her to walk slowly in front of me and I would pray for her on the way.

When we reached the other end, Shuhui thanked me. I was a little surprised because I was concentrated in my praying and I completed the journey without any fear.


We continued our journey towards Yandang Mountain. The weather was colder and colder. We stayed in Yandang Mountain Villas. The guest room was gorgeous.

We went to appreciate the night scenery of Yandang Mountain. We had to imagine a little, but it was really wonderful to see the various shapes of the rocks. It would not be the same look in the day.

I had an opportunity to surf the internet in the hotel. I did not update my website as it was inconvenient.
