Day 4 (Yantai-Penglai-Weifang)
Yantai is the city nearest to S. Korea.
Started snowing early in the morning. When we came downstairs to have breakfast the ground is already covered by a thin layer of snow.
As the wind becomes stronger and it snows more
Doesn't take long to turn all white
Leaving the hotel. Luckily the snow isn't heavy enough to disrupt our schedule. Only slightly delayed.

I know I mention Korea and Koreans many times when this is a post bout China. What to do when you have a korean-obsessed person writing this post.
Day 6 (Zibo-Taian-Qufu-Taian) Qufu is the hometown of Confucius. Supposed to come here on Day 7 but Day 6 schedule have to be put on hold because the wind on Taishan is too strong and the cable car service up the mountain was cancelled. Due to a switch in schedule and lack of time, we didn't visit Confucius's tomb.

Exactly what we need in this cold weather. The soup is supposed to be beef soup. Since most of us don't take beef, plain water. Sad.
3 colour noodles
The hotel
Everything bout this hotel is so NEW - the air smells new, the water tastes new(I'm serious)- because it's new. The hotel has only opened for business for 2 WEEKS!
From my parents' room can look straight into the lobby
The water left overnight in the bus is frozen.
Frozen waterfall
This place is very very cold.
The view at the back is so amazing
Blow the printer with a hairdryer so that it continue functioning
The stairs are so steep and never ending. Looking down it turns your leg into jelly.

Day 8 - New Year Day (Jinan-Tianjin-KL)
The train departs at 7.05am. Imagine what time we have to wake up. Fortunately our hotel is not far from the train station.
Takes approx. 3 hours by train from Jinan to Tianjin.
Arrived at Yangliuqing station to be greeted by this flight of stairs. Great. Just what we need. Dragged and carried the luggage up the stairs and down again on the other side of the platform. My right arm was sore for the next 2 days.

The reason why I wear the earmuffs so often although sometimes it's not necessary is b'cos it keeps my hair from flying everywhere.
