No lessons today!
But we went to visit Pharmaceutical Plant nearby school.
Not exactly the plant, just it's herb garden.
Its a very grand place, not at all like a plant.From this visit, i not only learnt alittle more about chinese herbs, but also fully experienced how the locals use their land.
As China is a very big country with a lot of land, hence the locals can actually 'waste' this resource. Also, it is built near residential estates and where a lot of people live, work and play.Just take a look at these pictures.
The plant is also built near a huge water body, which i presume is a lake.
We were welcomed by a fountain at the main hall
A view of the garden
There's this 'wishing stone' in the garden. It's actual purpose, is unknown to me.
This is a swimming pool. This is an example of how they waste their resources.
There's this about 2 storey high statue of the founder of chinese medicine. According to the interpreter, he lived to several hundred years!
After the visit, we went to Guang Gu Bu Xing Jie.
Jialin, Huiling, Weili, Eugene, Junjie, Yanlin, Jethro, Rey and me.
We went to eat at the Singaporean restaurant I mentioned at an earlier post. I ordered Laksa and was surprised at how much it tasted like those we sell in Singapore. So it was really nice and made me realise how much i missed home.
We had icecream! The taste was alittle different from what we have in Singapore, but nonetheless, the taste is still wonderfully sweet. We didnt really go shopping, as it was already getting dark. Hence soon after, we returned back to the hostel.
