Hari kedua tenaga masih full. Pukul 4.30 pagi dah terjaga solat Subuh dan mandi. Stock makanan pun masih banyak so breakfast di hotel lah. Kata perempuan nak boleh siapkan iron pakaian, make up, belit tudung, pin sana sini, matching kaler baju seluar segala pukul 8.30 pagi kami baru siap. Cer bayang bangun dah pukul 430 pagi tak tido dah. Nasib baik kami satu kepala. Kalo tak ada jugak kena tinggal.

Agenda kami hari ni keliling West Lake. Tapi sebelum tu terjah Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque yang terletak sebelah hotel kami menginap.

#OOTD  (Pui! Ko ingat ko blogger fashionista??? )

Serius pedestrian ni cantik lagi mendamai. Malam tadi kitorang bersiar balik pukul 10 malam pun makcik2 cleaner tengah sibuk sapu sampah pedestrian. Dah macam kesian makcik2 ni. Bawak2 la berehat makcikk

Belajor setting kamera sendiri. Kahkah. Setahun beli kamera baru saat ini tahu adjust camera secara manual.

Setting manual nak dapat langit biru sajok

Ni la bentuk bahagian depan Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque.

Sedikit info Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque :-

Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque• Add: No 227, Zhongshan Road, Middle, Hangzhou 
Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque is one of the four greatest mosques in the coastal area of Southeast China. 

Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque is also called Zhenjiao Mosque. Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), and was ruined in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In 1281, Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque was reconstructed again on its original site. Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque was repaired and expanded during the period from 1451 to 1493 in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the current complex of the Phoenix Mosque was formed.
 In 1929, the gate and the five-storied wooden minaret on the top of the gate were removed because of the city construction, seriously damaging the overall image of the mosque. Later Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque underwent several reconstructions.   At present, Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque covers an area of about 2,600 square meters, and consists of the entrance hall, the auditorium and the prayer hall, etc. The prayer hall of Hangzhou Phoenix Mosque was built without any girder during the Yuan Dynasty. Many cultural relics and artworks, including some wooden couplets with Arabic calligraphy inscriptions on them and stone steles, are preserved in the mosque.
 

Waktu operasi. Iols syak dua waktu yang ada tu mungkin ikut musim apa. Kalau salah maaf banyak-banyak. Tak paham Mandarin ler kita.

Phoenix Mosque ni dibuka untuk orang awam. Tiada bayaran dikenakan seperti di Great Mosque of Xian. 

Kebanyakkan aku perasan masjid kat China ni pesen masjid dalam taman. Macam pintu depan tu sebagai pintu gerbang. Masuk dalam lain bentuknya dalam taman kayangan gitu.

Besar tak sempat nak jelajah semua sebab pagi2 banyak dorang kunci ruang tertentu.

Tolong-tolong saya tak paham batu ni tujuan apa. Arah tentukan kiblat??

Bilik kuliah ( Hanya syak )

Perjalanan diteruskan ke West Lake

Hampir siap kaligrafi ni. Besar!

Untuk ke West Lake amik Metro ke Longxiangqiao towards Linping. Hanya 1 stesen dari Ding'An Lu. Tambang hanya 2 yuan.

Jangan risau Metro kat Hangzhou hanya Line 1 baru dibukak. Yang lain masih giat dalam proses pembinaan.

Cantik art di dalam stesen Metro nih

Sampai stesen Longxiangqiao korang exit la celah mana pun sebab semua memang menuju ke West Lake

Kami memilih untuk exit C. 

Keluar dari stesen Metro bersepah tempat rent basikal. Gila ko nak jalan kaki pusing West Lake. Besar yang amat tasik tu. 

Mengada pilih colour basikal ikut tema baju. Hehe. Sewa yang dikenakan sampai pukul 8 malam 50yuan/ RM25 untuk sebuah basikal sekali ngan rantai kunci basikal. Deposit 300yuan/RM150. Untung meniaga sewa basikal nih!

Bertahun tak kayuh basikal weh gelong jugak aku masa mula-mula kayuh. Miahihi. Itupun 3 kali I tukar basikal sebab tempat letak bontot tinggi benor dari ketinggian ku yang rendang ni hah.

West Lake or Xī Hú (Chinese: 西湖; literally "West Lake") is a freshwater lakelocated in the historic area of Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province in eastern China. The lake is divided by the causeways of Sū Dī (苏提 / 蘇堤), Bái Dī (白堤), and Yánggōng Dī (杨公堤 / 楊公堤). There are numerous temples, pagodas, gardens, and artificial islands within the lake.

West Lake has influenced poets and painters throughout the ages for its natural beauty and historical relics, and it has been among the most important sources of inspiration for Chinese garden designers, as evidenced by the impact it had on various Chinese classical gardens.^[1] It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, and was described as having "influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries"^[2]and as reflecting "an idealized fusion between humans and nature."^[2]


Sebenarnya West Lake ni besar, sekeliling West Lake ada macam-macam tourist attarcation. Tengah-tengah tasik tu pun ada Three Pool Mirroring the Moon. Linyin Temple, Six Harmonies Pagodas. Tapi macam biasalah semuanya kena bayar. Kami decide nak pergi Leifeng Pagoda and Taizhiwan Park sahaja. Itu pun kayuh basikal jauh ke selatan.

Tengok pukul 9 lebih pagi ramai gila manusia . Masa ni ada show air pancut siap nyanyi lagu Mandarin. Cantek air pancut ikut irama lagu. Duduk tepi kena la tempias air panctunya.

Seronok weh naik basikal pastu bunyi loceng mintak laluan. Susah nak cari makanan halal area sini. Sumbat la kudapan dalam beg untuk kekeyangan bersama.

Kalau ada anak kecik boleh naik buggy car ni keliling West Lake. 40yuan/RM20 per person.

Kayuh basikal tak samapai 100 meter, berenti. "Weh korang, berentiii sini cantik. Posing dulu"

Yeah. Kami masih lagi dipandang pelik orang umat China. Colour block sangat kott pakaiannya.

Butik mewah banyak terdapat di sepanjang West Lake. 

Eh eh samalah tema kita dengan bunga mekar berkembang

Tengah kami syok bergambar, kami diserang segerombolan amoi-amoi ni. Excited gila dorang jumpa kitorang sebab dorang student uni kat sini and amik course major English. Spekang belaka la. Tapi dorang speaking merangkak gak la siap ada buku lagi ready soalan nak tanya apa. Yang penting jawab kami dari Ma lai xiaaa.

Setiap pit stop design taman tasik ni lain. Cantik terguling-guling wehh. Ngeee

Mana Leifeng Pagoda? Mana Taizhiwan Park yang bole feeling ko ada kat Amsterdam?

Kendian-kendian yekkk
