Flying to Hangzhou!

[Firestorm1978]

Was considered staying at peace hotel

But didn’t feel it’s worth the price.

Besides, I don’t need to go the Bund every single day even though it’s just 50m away.

Only went for the evening jazz session performed by ah laos

Don't waste your money there. Really overrated. Super exp restaurants there too. Totally not worth the money you paid for. Regretted staying there.

The last time I was there, queued like 1 hour to see some celebrity **** of a panda.. and they only have several pandas there.

I don't visit any other countries' zoos as a practice..

I was lazy - instead of heading to Chengdu, I decided to just visit Beijing Zoo hahah

Their aquarium was equally pathetic

Surprisingly, Thailand's acquirium was much better than Singapore's and some other countries I had been to..

One of the most pathetic zoos I have ever been. I pity the animals there

If you are talking about the Beijing Zoo, then yes, I totally agree with you

I stayed there for 3 nights while in Shanghai. Imo, it is overrated. The toilets are the old-school type. Not saying old-school isn't good......but for the money that you paid.......it's definitely not worth it. However, the location is nice. Just across the hotel is already the nice view of the Shanghai Pearl tower.

it's a very old hotel so folks stay there for nostalgic reasons - just like our Raffles Hotel hahah

We wanted to try the famous restaurant there but decided against it - don't want to kena chop carrot

Food in Beijing is pathetic too.

It’s not called 美食荒漠 for no reason.

All the unappetising “food” passed down from their olden days like

卤煮 炒干 豆汁儿 etc

The presentation see already no appetite.

Eat also the taste not nice.

Prefer southern food more to my preference especially Guangdong

Daytime 27 cooling meh

27C in SG and people already comparing it to cool HK weather hahah

24-27C is pretty nice as long as humidity is low

I find Beijing food okay bah - maybe cos I eat a meat heavy diet - every other meal is roast duck

The only palatable food in Beijing

I feel was peking duck and 涮羊肉

But can’t possibly eat those everyday…

Guangzhou blindfold also can anyhow eat comforting food
