Day 4 - Nan Ao (南澳) Island (Part 2)

What's there to see on the island? We went to the general's residence and took a ride around the area before lunch. And salted stuff on the island is very, very cheap (compared to Singapore)! Let the pictures do the talking!

Here's the main front of the general's residence. The building is mostly rebuilt. Almost everything is new except for some of the exhibits, the well below and the tree outside.


The well which people in the residence used to drink from. The water is really cooling!


General's throne!


Weapons in the olden times!


This tree is still suviving after hundreds of years. It's been split into three during a storm when lightning struck it. The three branches are being supported by concrete columns.


Salted starfish, anyone?


After visiting the residence, we went to the beach side. There were some farms, resorts and hotels at the back, but we're at the coast where the shops are.


I supposed you can take a rest here, but even getting a seat needs money. Grandma says this is a sign that the economy isn't doing well. People are just charging for everything they can. We can tell how bad it is here.


We went to a seafood restaurant for lunch. There's no shortage in the variety of food you can choose from!


We got a fish, some seaweed, some abalone and got the restaurant to make us some dishes.


Here we got ripped off really, really bad. The meal cost us RMB700 (about S$120) in total. And the chef's cooking skills suck big time. Apparently the fire he used was too strong, and it turned the fish meat tough. We could tell that it's fresh from the taste but the texture just sucks. There are many other restaurants along the road - it could be better or worse we do not know.


More to come in Part 3 on the island after lunch!
