For those who prefer the written version (also much easier to do up) cause the picture uploading took me a gd 4days. Over last wk, the gp of 8 went to NJ. Bought the train tix for 85rmb but paid addition 5rmb surcharge cause we took it at our 龙阳地铁. The seats aboard the train was so like airplane ones, plus plenty of leg room somemore. 2.5hrs on the train was slept over n we reached there at 11am.
People say 1st impression counts a lot and NJ seriously jus blew me away. At their metro station, the people dont hoard the entrance n actually let passengers to alight b4 they bought. The trains air-con are cooler, no beggers to bother u, n flyer distributers who jus throw cards onto ur lap (ya like they jus chuck it upon u). Visited the Sun Yat Sen memorial; had lots of steps to climb n we went at noon (freakin hot); alway seem to haf this prob when we travel. Too eager to go somewhere than we alway go the best place when we reach jus arrival which is ard noon. Took the electric bike for an hr to explore the hilly areas. Damn fun la, no wonder the bikers all dont care abt traffic light one.
Youth Hostelling is the accomodation for the nite. Super sleek place. Cosy n friendly staffs there. 2nd day when over to 雨花台 and we entered by some backdoor entrance. Crossed a plantation climbed a wall (with the aid of the guide) than we were told to walk till we reach n avoid the road. Hor-landed along the way but eventually found our way there. Paid only 10rmb to the guide instead of the main gate which costed 35rmb, student rate is 28rmb. So really got a steal.
On the way back had the fastest brisk walk done. We thou the metro ended svc at 1030pm n we reached back at the station at 1030pm. So there we were rushin to the metro station followin the locals hopin tat there were still trains. The usual time taken to transfer at the 人民广场 station frm line 1 to line 2 takes a gd 7mins. Think will seriously outbrisked walk ourselves in 3mins. So lucky we got the train n were happy tat our house is awfully close to the metro station.
