Zhaoqing, China (29 - 30 June 2012)

29th June 2012
Chuanlin was very kind to take us to Zhaoqing which is actually a few hours train ride from SCUT. The scenery in Zhaoqing is breathtaking. There we were, seven idiots with our backpacks strolling in a park in Zhaoqing! But we did not really have a choice; checking in to the rooms before visiting the park would take time and if we did that, we might not have been allowed entry to the park. But there were no regrets. We hiked up a hill and there was such a beautiful sight to behold. The entire park was like a scenery landscape. With bridges, hills, lakes, trees, and everything beautiful and natural.






30th June 2012
We resumed our adventure in Zhaoqing. Went to some place that seemed like a forest reserve to me. But it was raining most of the day, unfortunately. There was one point when we were hiking through the jungle when it started pouring so heavily and refused to stop. We were not able to enjoy the waterfall as we had initially hoped. But my friends were able to grab a few snapshots of the waterfall. The colour of the water was emerald green and I felt in awe watching the water gushing from the top. But we were racing with time (Chuanlin had to return to Guangzhou before 5pm). 

Yes that is us in the picture!
