It’s lunch time now for Chinese Cuisines after visiting Jiu Yu Luminous Cup (Yeguan Bei) Factory here at Jiayuguan City…………..
It’s my very first time eating the famous Chinese Peking Duck in China - but to my utter disappointment, it isn’t too good at all…………….
See our huge sumptous Chinese Cuisines Lunch spread :
Cos one of the 3 Aunties (whom I went shopping with at Jiayuguan City) broke her shoes, our Jiayuguan Chinese Tour Guide Xiao Ma had to bring her to buy shoes & of course Shopaholic I tagged along with them!!
There was a whole long stretch of Shops selling mostly Sports Shoes (since Auntie wanted a pair of Sports Shoes!!), & some clothings Shops where I was hoping to get some nice Chinese clothes but found nothing pretty!!
And cos we were only given a very short shopping time, we’re now back here at Jiayuguan Chang Cheng Hotel (with a very pleased happy Auntie with her new & very cheap Sports Shoes!!), but surprisingly empty-handed Me hahaa………….
Chang Cheng Hotel is located at Jianshe West Road here at Jiayuguan in Gansu, along the Gobi Desert in China - designed in a majestic Jiayuguan Fortress looking most grand & beautiful :
Here’s the beautiful painted ceiling with Chinese Lanterns of Chang Cheng Hotel :
Actually our other Chinese Tour Guide Xiao Chen (who’s accompanied us since Day 1 from Xi’an), has brought another Tour mate Auntie of ours to the local Hospital to have a Fish Bone (from the deadly Chinese Fresh Water Fish which we ate for lunch earlier!!) removed from her throat!!
Now, we’re just waiting for Auntie, her hubby Uncle & Xiao Chen to be back from the Hospital before our Tour group departs for our afternoon Sightseeing Trip here in Jiayuguan……………
Well, we only manage to window shop for a while in the Chang Cheng Hotel Shopping Arcade before it’s time for us to leave for our Jiayuguan Sightseeing Trip.
And following our visit to the Jiayuguan Pass Historical Relic District, we’re back here enjoying Chinese Cuisines Dinner at Hua Yuan Hotel where we had our Breakfast & Lunch today…………..
Be they long or short, these Chinese Fresh Water Fish are filled with tons of these deadly fish bones that will kill if one’s not careful when eating the Fish - so remember to be real cautious even if you really love eating Fish!!
Here’s a pic of my brother-in-law Ah Hia, 4th Aunt (whom we call Si Kor), & Me :
There’re many Chinese Camels on sales along the Silk Road here in China, but be sure to grab only the more pricy real genuine ones which are made of real smooth good quality materials - here’re pics of my 2 charming Chinese Silk Road Camels with attached Chinese Words “Luotuo” meaning “Camels” :
I’m happy that I manage to find this following Jiayuguan Souvenir T-Shirt that depicts scenery of the magnificent Jiayuguan Pass where we visited in our afternoon Jiayuguan Sightseeing Trip :
I’ve always been pretty fascinated with the Chinese Gourd (or Hulu), & am most surprised to see such a most beautiful & special Jade Hulu Bracelet!! And guess how many lovely Jade Hulu are there on my Bracelet!?!? 36 in total as the Chinese Boss & I counted them together in his Shop heheh!!
Well, I’ve had a most beautiful day out here in Jiayuguan - sightseeing & enjoying Chinese Cuisines & shopping for so many amazing Chinese Silk Road Souvenirs bet I’ll be having real sweet dreams in tonight’s sleep, here in Jiayuguan at Chang Cheng Hotel!!
I’ve included in the following a Slideshow of Chang Cheng Hotel - See ya in the morning tomorrow!!
