Lingxiao Cave | Beautiful Yangchun, the Land of Abundance and Prosperity and Picturesque Yangchun, Magnificient Gallery

Do you ever hear this province "Yangchun" in China Mainland?

Yeah i also got some problems when i did a research about this place in google (and in english words for sure). I couldn't find any information about this place actually. But i will give the information from the cave card i got before :

*
     Yangchun, which is literally taken from "the north of the Moyang River and the spring-like weather of all seassons", is situated in the southwest port of Guangdong Province. The city sits along the upper reaches of Moyang River and is entitled at the National Geological Park for its great scenery and earns the reputation as one of country's top tourism cities.
      Yangchun is a historical city and has very unique resources for its abundant places of historical interest and scenic beauty. For example, Lingxiao Cave ranks as the best among all the scenic caves in Southern China while Kontong Cave is one of the four fairy crags according to Chinese Legends; Baishi waterfall is regarded as the finest mountain waterfall in southern Guangdong and Chundu is the China's first radon hotspring.
     There is also the Baiyong Provinvial Natural Reserve. In addition, many famous drama or movies have been shot in Chunwan Stone Forest adding more charisma to the city's tourism industry. The top 8 scenic spot in Yangchun are widely known as : Lingxiao Cave, Ehuang Elegant Waterfall, Chunwan Specatacle, Donghu Dawn, Kongtong Trace of Zen, Moyang Archaic Rhyme, Chundu Radon Hotspring and Phoenix Sunrise. All these beautiful sceneries, the splendid landscape plus the city's distinctive cultural heritage and the innocent life have earned Yangchun the titles of "Beautiful Yangchun, the Land of Abundance and Prosperity" and "Picturesque Yangchun, Magnificient Gallery".

"..earns the reputation as one of country's top tourism cities..." maybe for chinese mainland :p, because i didn't meet foreigners (except me). But i met hongkong/another china tourism also in Yangchun.

And i didn't go anyplace in this card information because i just read it completely right now (yes right now when i am writing this after 3 months :p). But still if i already read it there, i didn't have time too (excuse) and it is very hard to find accomodation and to do any communication (include my mom even she can talk chinese, but seems the dialect was different). So let my relatives did whole the things :p haha.. (can i say that we are lucky..)

So according my mom experience, hehe (why i went there because i have some relatives), we went from Shenzhen by bus and took cost around 130 RMB for almost 5 hours. And went back to Guangzhou (took cost around 100 RMB for almost 3.5 hours).

speechless i can't read the language

About the city hmm, no transportation at all, we should call a taxi by phone (such as a reservation and connection). But the taxi looked like private car. Rarely, i saw young people (age between 23 - 40) . Seems they worked outside of this province and go to another big province like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, etc. Laterly, i met a lot of young people went to another cities when i waited the bus to Guangzhou. Surprisingly the food here had very big size like this picture -_____-' and very oily (hueks :p) for the price it was cheap!.

maybe half of this food is oil

it is very delicious and big fish

speechless ~~ too big :p, they alwasy gave a soup as an "appetizer" before main foods

Another Souppp~~. Seriously soupss..plenty of waterrr...

i don't know the name but too oily and salty :p

too big :p

almost full:p

enough~~

can't eat more (hueks)

i remembered i can't eat more for this last food ...

Actually I just went to a Lingxiao Cave and visits some of my relatives. Absolutely this cave is very awesome, they maintain and make their tourism with very good. The place actually flat (excited at the first) every where are stalagmites/stones with some colours of the lamps. And according to the guide tour (yeah we waited for a while, and the guide tour will bring and tell us about this cave) . The guide tour just told us, about some stalagmites/stones looked like monkey, god/godess, people face, etc. I just curious of one thing you know that this cave came up from the sea to the surface? i still can't understand how was the process. But i believe it will take thousand of years for sure.

Annyeong Haseyo! Yes i go to Seoul, South Korea

Yes finally!!!

What i can say this is just like a dream for me. I like Seoul, but i am not a fan of their K-POP or etc. I just like some of their songs and their movies. But until now i can't believe i went there and in the great season (autumn) when everything look awesome and really beautiful ._. ...

I went there without any plan and i decided to go there just 2 weeks before, without any tickets, visa, schedule, mentally, etc :p.. So finally i got the visa just 1 days before my flight LoL (but because some reasons i reschedule it to the 'day' next week). Of course i need travel agent to help me do this haha.

A lot of documents i need to provide for the visa (as i remembered the china visa is easier :p) such as : your bank account statement (min : 40 million IDR), working letter from your company, their form, passport, your photos, etc (if you have somebody there it is easier, ask them to make an invitation letter for you and a letter that explain : he/she will pay for your expenses). If you are married woman it will need some documents again such as a letter from your husband to declare he already permit you, and if you are a widow you need your husband death letter. And still a lot of if -_-, if you a married woman without any job so you need a letter from your husband that he will provide the money for your expenses.

I choose Korean Air flight because it is cheaper rather than Garuda/SQ at that time :p, and i didn't choose Air Asia for this time lol, 7 hours in the flight i didn't want suffer ;p.

You can go anywhere in Seoul by Seoul Metro (i used Jihachul - IoS application), it is very easy at least for me and you can see the maps clearyly in every station. And check this website it will help you so much.

And somehow you can find discount voucher (around 5-15%) or etc if you are foreigner in some websites. (just try to google first). Because i like korean food i am not getting problem with it, but maybe some people will not like the foods :p. The people here is nice not all, but not all korean people like KPop as we seen in TV :). Plastics surgery is very common here :-D you will see the brosur or the advertisement :)

This is the place that i went randomly :

Market 

Namdaemun
I went here to buy some stuffs for my colleagues, just challenge your self and try to go every corner and building :). A lot of hiding place or stuff here hahaha just make sure you didn't get lost. Some stuffs are very cheap in the building rather than in outside or main streets.

Myeongdong
I went here to walk around, a lot of famous outlet here, include cosmetic shops, foods, clothings, etc. And you can go to Lotte Department Store and just make sure you go to Lotte Duty Free (the cosmetics shops are cheaper from the outside in Seoul, but it needs your passport and flight numbers/date. And just use your credit cards because it is using USD not WON)

Insadong
 I went here to walk around hahaha, a lot of arts shops, foods. And i tried the most expensive food i ever ate in Seoul (the price around 20.000 WON/person, you must eat minimum two persons).

It is called Korean Foods Set

Dongdaemun 
I got bore here haha, because the shops just sell jacket/blanket for winter, i didn't buy anything - my country just have two seassons. So maybe this is a 'heaven' when summer come. A lot of cool clothes will sell here :p.

Hongik University
I like to walk here a lot of various shops here. 

Zoo 

The place is very cheap for me just 3.000 won and a lot of animals and they maintain it very well. The landscape is daebak!! (cool in korea language) and you must walk far to go this place (but you can ride a car/cable car just don't worry. If you have money you will enjoy the luxury :p)

Museum and History Place 
All the place is awesome hehe, they maintain their museum and the place so well and luxurious. They appreciate all their history. Such as a wow for me and wow for the place until now haha. Seoul is the best rather than my country or another country i ever went. You can google by yourself which place do you want and the history is very long if i should write it hehe. Because i went a lot of this kinna place :-D.

I went by bus near Insadong (yeah you can go by seoul metro, but i thought it will take your time a lot to change the train and you should take a taxi after the last station). This island full of arts, nice place they make this place as a tourist place and drama place (winter sonata). For the story of this place? just google yaaa :p

I just follow some ahjumma/ahjushi (uncle/auntie in korea language) after i went out from the Seoul Metro station :-D, because we need to go there by bus and walk until tired :p haha.

Batam Islands area Industry / Business Area?

Yeaa~..

What is in your mind when you hear or read about Batam? Singapore? Cheap electronic/perfume?

I also think the same, but the reality.. I just felt i don't like Batam :p hehe just because i got problem in transportation :p. You must used taxi to go every where or you can paid for a car for one day. About the perfume or electronic, i didn't buy any of it. Maybe because i didn't have enough time to hunt :p.

The beaches are flat because too much cargo / big ship cross the sea, it means the sea will not clear and beautiful at all. But however the beach have their beauty right :p. Like this beach :)

Trikora Beach near Vietname Shelter | @dannywongso

I also go to vietnamese shelter when they ran from their country because of the war. And did some crazy picture :p haha.. 

Don't do this at home | @dannywongso

Church at Vietname Shelter | @dannywongso

And because as the name Batam Islands, from one island to another island they build a bridge call baronang bridge (they have six bridge). I took a photo in the middle of the road because not too much car crossed this way (i knew no pic mean hoax :p, but whatever haha).
