Will you still expect to visit Shanghai World Expo? Last Saturday, Mom and I joined one day Expo tour .I will never visit again and never recommend my friends to visit.
Crowd, hot, wait long time in queue,walking. I believe that all the Expo tickets are sold out and I believe that most of the tickets are sold to Chinese .You will see 99% of the people in Expo site are Chinese. It seems like a Chinese Party. I visit ten pavilions in one day. When I finished one pavilion visit, I got pavilion Visa stamp ,you will feel how weary the volunteer was, no smile,no feeling, just like a stamp machine. I am sympathy them. You can imagine how many stamps they have to do every day from May1 till Now?
Anyway, when you are in Expo site, you will feel that all the people both visitors and volunteers are tired.
Crowed people waiting for entrance
Crowed people for security
People waiting for drinking water
So tired,where there is a chair,there is a person sleep.
sleep!
Let's sleep together.

Take notes

Tashilhunpo Monastery ,also called the Heap of Glory,is located in Shigatse . Situated on the foot of Drolmari, the structure is one of the six huge monasteries of Gelugpa in Tibet which was built by 1st Dalai Lama in the year 1447. It stands on a whooping area of around 300,000 sq. m and is also known as a seat of the Panchen Lama who is considered to be the second most important religious leader of Tibet.
As you enter the monastery, you will find a wall overlooking the monastery, which was built by the order of the first Dalai Lama in the year 1468. On 14th, 15th and 16th May of every year according to the Tibetan calendar, the wall displays images of Lord Buddha. And when looking the monastery, from entry you will see the mighty building with white walls and shining golden roof. Proceed to the West Side of the temple where the Maitreya Chapel holds the biggest statue of a sitting Maitreya Buddha, almost 86 feet in height, well decorated with gold, diamond, pearl and every other rare stone that you can think of. It is spellbinding to know that it is purely handcrafted by around 900 craftsmen and took more than 9 years in its construction. Take the wooden staircase to other higher levels of the Chapel from where you can more clearly see and appreciate the Lord's monolith. The other attraction of the monastery is the Stupa tomb of the tenth Panchen Lama. It lies east of the chapel and is covered with 614 kg of gold and innumerable number of jewels and precious stones.
Near to the stupa there is the Panchen Lama's palace which is still not open to visitors. As move to the east of the palace, you will come across another stupa, this time of the fourth Panchen Lama. This stupa is also completely covered with gold and silver. Apart from these grand palaces and Stupas, also enjoy the uniqueness and resplendence of the paintings that adorn the walls of this monastery.
If you just want to explore the entire monastery, it will take around 3 hrs that is how big this temple of worship is. But if you want to completely relish this opportunity, then you must keep at least half a day in your hand.

This Saturday, My mom and I will go to Shanghai to visit Shanghai Expo. I am very exciting and expect this tour for long time.But what can I see in such a short time? I am really worried about the crowded people.And should I wait in queue for 2-3hours even long time to enter one Hot Pavillions? I hate crowded and wating.Fortunately, our agency Absolute China Tours has already got China Pavilion reservation for us in advance.We will visit China Pavilion from 16:30 to17:30.I am sure that I am not so luck to visit all the hot Pavilions,such as US ,Saudi and UK.This time,I will challenge myself and give me two tasks. One is to see how crowed the Expo is. The other is to visit more and more pavilions in limit time. For me, cold pavilion is still fresh and interesting.Would you like to guess how many pavilions I can visit? Let us check it out on Saturday!

Last time one of my clients ask me how is the toilet on the train from Beijing to Lhasa and is it a western style toilet? It is a question and I was wondering whether the toilet is a important factor that will affect my western clients to visit China. After searching many information about the western toilet, I really agree with my clients, I have to let my clients know more about toilet in China.
There is western toilet, so what is the eastern toilet? That is squat toilet. From Childhood, we used the squat toilet which is only a hole and we squat there. For most of the Chinese people, we get used to it. Squating is quite easy for Chinese. But why western foreigners worry about the toilet so much when they travel in China? Just think about that, If you are the first time to use the squat toilet in your life, how can you keep your balance? Squatting is one kind of Chinese Kungfu , it is very difficult to squat rather than sit.
So what is the toilet situation in China? Most of the hotels in China use the modern western toilet in the washroom, so you don't need to worry about the toilet when you stay in China hotels .All the toilet on the plane are western toilet,but this is not really true on the China train. Only the soft-sleeper compartment or the express train may have the western toilet. At the airport or at the garden park, it depends. Some use the western toilet; some use the squat toilet while others use both kinds of toilets. For Chinese people, we don't like to use the western toilet in Public place, we think that the public toilet is dirty and are afraid of infection if buttock touches the toilet.
Oh, Important! Don't forget to bring your own toilet paper if you go to the Public toilet, there is NO free toilet paper available in most of the public toilet. If you forget, hmmm, you know what will happen……
