So I’m just gonna finish with this post.

Btw, i’m home sweet home now and nothing can beat the tropical weather!!! Nothing!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

So,

about the Hakka village,

as you can see from the following photos, the ground floor of the building basically is for business purposes.

Can’t help but to notice the calligraphy hanging on the wall. It was being drawn by an artist, he got his own gallery in one of the shops, and this is his own way of interpreting how Chinese words are derived. And for this particular word, it’s — Dance. 舞.

Me managed to snap a photo in between crowds.

Love the lanterns!! They seemed extra artistic when hanged in a circular matter.

Some writings on the wall.

Snapped a couple of photos while walking through the shops,

I love this photo. Simply because of the clearly tiered circular structure of the building…and also the lanterns!

Here’s another shot of the interior of the building.

Exterior of the building. Can feel the “thickness” of the wall here.

A well, situated right in the centre of the Interior. It is believed to be their main water supply in the building during the old days.

Here’s another interesting calligraphy. Horse. This is yet again the artist own interpretation of the word, 马。

After visiting the circular building, we then walked our way to another building. Along the way, we kept seeing these vegetables. You know what are they for ??

Any clue now ???

Nope, they are not salted vege, instead, it’s for a famous Chinese dish called — 梅菜扣肉. And these veges are use to make the 梅菜。Wow! I’m amazed!

Some photos around the area.

The reason why we are @ this village is because– on the tourist information brochure, it says this is actually a world heritage site, so we were all very excited to come. The scenery didn’t disappoint, but as how my uncle had put it — It’s not ready for tourist yet.

Which is a pity i think.

Anyway, we continue to walk along the path, passing by more plantations, more rivers….

and then suddenly we saw something intriguing @ the far end of the river,

Somebody is washing clothes somewhere in the middle of the river ????

In this kinda weather ??? You must be kidding me!

I think the weather that time was about 0 degree ??

Haven’t actually see this kinda winery before!! Those that have been preserved in jars like this,

And as we walked along, i heard songs by Jolin ahead of us !! For one second i really thought it might be Jolin. But turned out……

someone was just dancing away with Jolin’s song. Boooooooo

Love how the water flow across the rivers,

The circular building infront is said to be the smaller in size around the area.

A closer view,

Trying to get a shot infront of the circular building, but i didn’t know what was the camera person focusing on instead?

And then we reached another building, but instead of the round ones…..this is more squarish.

The squarish tiered,

So which one do you like?? The rounded or the squared ?? I think i love the round ones more.

And then i came across more of these interesting calligraphies !!

Can you figure out what these letters mean ?? I can’t get the last one…does anybody know what letter is it ?

Passed by more winery……

And a small temple around the area.

The exit of the village is just a small alley next to this temple, so, after we passed by the temple, that marks the end of our tour around this Hakka village!!

It was indeed an interesting place!!!

What do you guys think ??
