Trip - China - Day 5 - Traveling Down to Ji Nan 濟南

Hi Blog,

Good morning ☀️ China, you woke up so early like 430am and your real rooster 🐔 alarm was effective.

Just looked how bright the morning was at that timing

CC suggested that we will be visiting Ji Nan Spring by public buses. What a thrill!

Cloudless sky - simply amazing

Cloudless and I was not lying

when will we able to witness cloudless in Singapore 

Before we took the bus, we went to the nearby market place to check out what they are selling here. You may click this jumplink to read the market @ Tai An.

Unlike the bus in Singapore, there is a certain time when the bus will arrive, if you missed the bus, you will have to wait for a long time - an hour is not surprising. So we should be thankful that our bus intervene is an average of 10-15mins.

here was the bus coach

Normal decent bus coach 

but they had a very old loosy seat

well I just appreciated whatever it was

Using traditional method to collect bus fee

Happy bus-auntie :)

People who have carsick will suffer embarking on a bumpy journey but the scenery is breathtaking.

bright sun with a bright smile

Mountain and Plains scenery

About two hours later, we reached the province

Everyone was getting down

a lonely valley and me

how great to have a road just for the bike? If Singapore can have that space.

this is their public transport which somehow looks alike but newer

Like Singapore typical bus but without good air-conditioning

we had to move inwards where the front rows were the priority seats

As a youngster, we just stood there.

On this trip, we experienced their local public transport and also witnessed the local getting a heaty argument on the bus. I chose to not to video it down and lucky both of them didn't get into a fight, but I was glad to see the people around them trying to pull them apart. If it happened in Singapore, people will just pull out their phone.

Anyway, after nearly 2 hours bumpy and slow bus ride, we reached Ji Nan - Black Tiger Spring 黑虎泉, one of the great spring in the world but we went up to Liberation Pavilion 解放閣 first.
