8 days 7 nights – Go around China

15

April

I’m back updating my blog, just because I would love to share something out of the politics topic which is so HOT in town these days.

This China Trip were planned in July 2010, we grabbed the cheap tickets from Air Asia and the travel date was actually 10 months ahead. Initially we have 16 travel members, however, 2 of them did not manage to join in, hence we ended up 14 people in a group.

Honestly, going travel can be very tiring, especially when you are going in a big group. The lucky and sweetest thing is, all the travel members are all working adults, we ain’t the 1st time traveler, we don’t need a leader as all of us can take good care of our own. Some of us were close friends, friends of close friends and family members. We could get along very well and give the most co-operation all the time.

Here’s a brief summary of our Travel Itinerary before we start this Travelogue.

Arrive Hang Zhou Airport

Arrive Hang Zhou Xiao Shan Airport

After 5 hours flights from KL to HGH, finally we arrive Hang Zhou Xiao Shan International Airport. According to the tour guide, this airport was newly renovated 2 years ago. Basically it looks grand, far more improve than the 10 years ago when I firstly step into China. Very impressive, really impressive! By judging by the airport, Ive already put some expectations on the cities.  Let’s follow me!

China welcome us by rains. It is spring season now, which it is suppose to be around 11-17c daily. However, it welcomes us with 8c… this is really awesome when you see your own smoke while talking!

The one holding mic is our tour guide for the whole trip. In China, they will prefer people to add “小” xiao in front of their surname for us to remember them easily.  So as our tour guide, we call him 小圆, but of course this is not his real name.

Ramada Hotel

Ramada Hotel

We were staying at Ramada Hotel. The hotel distance from the Airport took around 30 mins. This hotel locates quite far away from the city center, but I like the environment, it’s quite and peaceful. A great place for us to rest after the long hour flights.

The average rate for this hotel cost around RMB 890 / RM 445 per room, dividing into 2 person, its RM222.50 per person.

Remember, we only paid RM900 per person for our travel package. It’s worth right? We are able to enjoy the 1st class facility by paying little affordable amounts. Another credits the travel agent :)

Our Hotel Room, clean and modern.
The best thing, it comes with the  network TV, which acts like PPS. You have all the latest drama and movie from the list.  I’m loving it!

All of us were very hungry, we are looking for food but too bad most of the eatery place were close. The only place we could go is the convenience stall. All of us went into a little shop and bought a lot of foods from here. There’s a lot of beverage for you to choose. Variety choices of Instant Noodles that you hardly get it in Malaysia.

Don’t bother so much, the weather was freezing cold outside. It’s better we go back to our room, and grab a hot bowl of Instant Noodle while enjoying the full list of channel.

Let’s call it a night. After a long day of waiting and transit, finally we settled down in the hotel.  Till then, will try to update again by soonest!

Mulu World Heritage – Day 2: Lang & Deer Cave

30

March

It really took me a lot of time to finish up my travelogue. It’s getting near to April, and I’m still blogging the back dated travel. Anyway, I still have to finish up the post, no matter how. For those who missed out the previous posting, then follow the below links.

Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Getting There
Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Moonmilk Cave
Mulu World Heritage – Day 2: Penan Settlement
Mulu World Heritage – Day 2: Wind Cave
Mulu World Heritage – Day 2: Clear Water Cave

So today, let’s bring you all to the Lang & Deer Cave.

I believe most of you are quite family with the name of these caves, as its the most popular bat watching caves in Mulu.

This is stick insect. Watch it closely, it moves slowly.

Lang Caves and Deer Caves are just next to each other.  It tooks around 1 hour of walking distance from the park to reach the cave entrance.

The first cave that we went to was Lang Cave.

I would say that although Lang Cave is consider a small cave, but the rocks are quite amazing.

It’s amazing in a way.. you can see a “penis” inside the cave.

Really…  Have some wild imaginations =)

Ok that’s not the main attraction to the cave.  Lang cave is actually popular of its beautiful rock’s formation. Some say it looks like a human’s brain.  What do you say?

The founder of this cave is actually one of the cave explorer back in 70s. And today, our tour guide, Mr. Lang which the surname is the same as the cave , is the son of the founder of the cave. Our tour guide educate all of the tourist to love the nature and not to pollute the caves. He even take up any single rubbish as he seen on the way to the caves.

Next. We are going to Deer Cave.

Before entering the cave, the tour guide give us a quiz question.

What is the name of the deer with no eyes?

If you can’t get the answer, you are not allow to enter the cave. Har!

Deer Cave is known to be the longest cave passage in the world.

But to me, this is also the darkest cave and the smelliest cave in the world!  It’s the home for millions of BATs lives in this cave, we get the chance to access to free natural perfume of the Bat’s shit! So friendly reminder, get a bottle of “Minyak Kapak” before you enter the cave. =)

And of course, the landmark of Mulu. Rock formation and turns to Abraham Lincoln’s face. Awesome right?

Hey, it took me some time to actually realize of the shape. So enjoy the picture despite of standing there and smelling the natural perfumes.

Rocks in Deer Cave

Sometimes I think those founder of the caves are brilliant. You know what do they name these thing ? It is call the shower head. Har!

You will get more version of story if you closely listen to what the tour guide says.

We spent almost an hour plus inside this cave, there’a a lot of things to watch, a lot of stairs to climb, and of course I can’t take too much pictures. Why? I’ve to watch out for the bat’s shit first of all. Second, it’s too dark, my little compact camera can’t do much work here.  ;)

We were back at the Bat Observatory Deck around 5pm. Sky is getting dark, and it’s raining cats and dog.

As it was Christmas Eve, all the tour guide needs to leave earlier for the celebrations. Hence, we were told to walk back to the hostel on our own. We were not alone, because hundreds of tourist will be here sitting and waiting for bats to come out.

While waiting, let’s have the candid cam!

5.30pm..

It seems like the bats are not coming out today.  It’s better we depart early to the park. The sky is getting darker as the rain getting heavier and yet its an hour walk back to the park.

To overcome my sadness and regretfulness, I pamper myself by searching the videos from Youtube. Haha, here you go, to conclude this post, I present you the Bat’s from Deer Cave!
Hope you enjoy this post as its almost complete my Mulu travelogue.

Oh ya, before that, the answer for the quiz above is, “No Idea“. =) Have Fun!

Mulu World Heritage – Day 2: Penan Settlement

Getting on the track, here we continue the boat ride from the Penan Settlement to the Cave of the Winds.

For the morning tour, we were being arranged for the Clear Water Cave & Wind Cave. Both of this cave are located next to each other which are categorised under the same clear water system.

Turn left, to clear water cave and take right to Wind Cave.

Entrance at the Wind Cave

Take a picture here for remembrance, to let my grand children know that the ah gong and ah ma ever “WALK” to wind cave.

At this standing point,  was actually where the winds come from. In fact, it’s just a small cool breeze but the cave was name after these.

Inside the cave, you get to see all kinds of rock formation, I’m poor in my geography so sorry I can’t give a  comprehensive explanations on it . :p

Let my pictures tell you the whole story of stalagmite and stalactites, how they meet each other. One from top, One from bottom.

We walked around the stair case, and the tour guide will explain to us on the formation of stalagmite and stalactites.

These are the “huge” one. It almost meet each other. If it’s meet, it forms columns.

Our tour guide for the morning session, Sandra, was a local lady who can speak some simple English.

You can only enter the park with their assigned tour guide.

Inside the cave, we are not suppose to make too much sound or shouting at each others name. Like I told you before, either you believe it or not, the spirit of the ancestors were all there. Somehow the facilities at Mulu National Park are indeed very organized. There are spotlights along the path, handles on stair case and some information board for the tourist to understand more about the caves.

I took too much pictures here, and my battery went exhausted. Coming up next,  Clear Water Cave!


Mulu World Heritage – Day 2: The Penan Settlement

Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Getting There
Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Moonmilk Cave

First of all, sorry for the delays of the my Mulu Travelogue. In fact, the travelogue does need to have enough “wind” in order to write a long winded post. So by looking back at the previous post on top, I’ve covered how to get there and the most adventure ever , Moonmilk Cave.

Coming up this post, I’ll be covering the Penan Settlement in Mulu.

So what is Penan? Basically, they are the nomadic aboriginal people who lives in Sarawak. To know it more, Mr. Wiki tells you more. To be simple, before you and I landed in Sarawak, they’ve already exist. Correct me if I’m wrong.

On Day 2, the tour begins at 9am. We were asked to gathered at the Jetty.

Somehow, due to the adventures we’ve taken yesterday, we lodge a complain at the information counter to ensure there’s no other group of tourist who encounter the same problem like us. Also, we have to tripple comfirm that for the entire tour, there’s gonna be a “tour guide” accompany since we’ve paid that in our package.

Are you ready? Yup, Alex and I were ready to conquer the World Heritage!


Here you go, the total of 12 of us. Wheeee! Everyone looks so energetic ya?


Safety first.
So we gathered at Jetty, the tour guide will guide us which boat to take, and put on the life jacket.


6 person in a boat ! Everyone seems so happy.. some of them were taking this kind of long boat for the very first time.

Alex and I getting on boat. We’re going for a Football fight! Hehe.. Germany vs Brazil.


And definitely you can see the excitement on my face.
I tried touching the water and splash in on my face, its so cold and fresh! No pollution eh? Sure?


This is the river that we are crossing.
It takes around 10 minutes for us to reach the Penan Settlement.

Some of the area that we were crossing were quite shallow so the boat driver will try to avoid some rocks. They are skillful enough to protect our safety.


Happy. Happy. Happy.

Why was I so happy at that time? Maybe its due to I didn’t had a holiday or short break for a long time. So taking this great opportunity, back to the mother nature, I think it does helps to regulate my mood and hormones. :p


The first long boat arrive earlier than us, and waving to our arrival. Hehehe….

The penan settlement will be the 1st stop for every tourist and I think it’s worth for you to get closer with them. You will get to know more their histories, way of living and of course giving them a little support.

Leon & Alex.

The houses behind are belongs to the Penan’s. They live by the river, everything settle by the river.

Breathtaking views but that was their Long House which were burnt few months back.

The longhouse are the place where the Penan stay, which consist of few living quarters for each family and they have one common halls for everyone.  Too bad, it’s burnt and hopefully it will be built up soon.

So this is the Penan Folks who are mostly Christian here. Their common identical looks, the long ear’s tribe.

Meanwhile, this old lady is performing some kind of music by blowing a flute. To be exact, a bamboo flute.  But that’s not her main business, she’s actually selling handicraft.  By making the music, people would get attracted to her and visit her stalls. What a good marketing gimmick!

Every stall are selling almost the same thing, Handicraft.

Mostly made of beads or “manik” and thread into key chain or necklace.

So talking of support, you could just get some souvenirs from them and bring back home.  Still, try not to bargain a too hard, that’s their hard work and performance.

These key-chain will only cost you 3 for RM10.  If you are willing to pay more, they are even happy =) Com’n show them your support and don’t buy at the gift shops.

The tourism board did put on some information board about the Penan Settlement. So to know more about their true story, drop by here during your trip and tapao some souvenirs!


ApiWon Restaurant serving Cigarette Butt

March

A short introduction of this trip to KK.

I was leading a group of colleagues to KK for our target achievement trip.  Everything were paid by company, and the only thing we should do is sit down and enjoy the holiday.  There were a  total of 10 of us in a group taking Air Asia flight from Miri to KK for a 3 days 2 night trip.

Our group photos before heading to KK.

And we arrive at KK terminal 2.

I’ve rented a van that can accommodate 10 of us and of course a driver :)

So before the journey begins, let’s have show off the pocket money given by the company. Everyone were so happy :)

So basically, the trip were meant to be short but intensive. I’ve made all the research and asking around for HALAL food before the trip.  One of our colleague is Muslim, so I have to double confirm that place is edible by her. Hmm.. But the good thing, there’s a lot of “serve no pork” place in KK.

Before we proceed for the afternoon Kundasang tour, we need to fill in our stomach first.

So we chosen Apiwon Restoran which is located at Luyang for our lunch stop.

I chosen here because :

1. It’s edible.

2. Suitable for muslim.

3. It’s recommended by a friend of mine.

So here we come, for the beef noodle.

Found out some specialty in this shop, or should say in KK, they provide 1 utensil box for all the chopsticks and other necessities.

You just have to chose what you want to eat from the pictures.  There’s no other menu.

Quick and Simple.

Since there’s 10 of us, so the “tau ke nio” is very busy taking order one by one.

Beef Kuih Tiaw for Mr. Ling

Beef Bihun for Mrs. Ling. That’s me! :p
Beef slice and Beef Balls, great combinations!

Bestttt served with Hot Chili!

I really enjoy the food, the soup, the balls, the beef , the chilies…. not until….

Someone throw this out from his mouth and  say this thing very hard to chew …

Take a closer look, it’s a Cigarette Butt!!

No kidding,  it’s not suppose to be part of the ingredient, isn’t it?

It’s from this bowl of Beef Kuih Tiaw.

Alex totally lost his appetite, somemore he is on fire! Imagine, you keep chewing something in your mouth which you expect it should be edible, and it ended up to be a Cigarette butt??

Our driver, Mr Four Eye, with full of Tattoo, called the “tau keh nio”.

She’s nervous when we showed her the ciggie butt.  We didn’t made much noise at the shop, I don’t want to spoil their reputation. So we let her investigate and give us an explanation.

  • She turned back and told us it might be from the factory that produce the 冬菜 preserved vegetable.
  • She discount RM7.50 for a bowl of beef noodle.
  • She looked panic.

Ok now, by looking at her explanation, we definitely won’t be very satisfied, but it’s happened and it’s over. Somehow as a blogger, I think I still need to report out the truth here. At least when your next visit, you gonna be watch out for any special ingredients in your bowl. :D

This is how KK welcomed us, in such a special way, treating us a free cigarette butt! It’s still a nightmare for all of us. Luckily, the entire trip were smooth so it compensate back for what is bad. =)

p/s: No.. don’t try to sue me like what others did because I have all the supporting evidence and hopefully when people search on Apiwon I won’t be on the 1st page of Google Result. :p


Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Moonmilk Cave

01

March

Previous Links:  Day 1 – Getting There

Destination : Moonmilk Walk
Duration : As advise 45 mins walk
Adventure :  1 (1-5 Ranking
)

Yeah, we’ve recharge our energy, dress up, gear up and ready to explore the National Park. The other 5 members were yet to arrive, so we chosen to go for a “simple” walk somewhere around the park. As advice by the officer, we could take up the Moonmilk Walk that only takes 45 mins.

The above statement were true if you really listen to his advice, for taking a 45 mins WALK. No tour guide needed. Entrance FREE.

Yeah! 1st destination in MULU. Go go go!

This is the only signboard we could see along the path. The signboard stated, Moonmilk Cave not Walk.  We did not give it a damn , since the officer told us, its just a 45 mins walk!

Pass by the river bank.  Boat are the main transport for the Penan Residence.

Its really nice to walk in the jungle covering by all the giant tree, its not hot, and the pathways are well maintain.

Trees were huge and we get to see  different kind of plants.

Worms & Leaves

Fruits & Mushrooms

The ball kind of worm

Save our earth!

We really enjoy the jungle walk, until we realize we were actually the only group of people on the same pathway. There’s no one else heading the same direction.  There’s no signboard along the way, but since the officer told us it’s only a 45 mins walk, we just proceed to our destination.

Wait a minute. What is our destination. Moonmilk Cave or Walk actually?

But it’s already a 45 mins walk, where is the cave? where is the sign?

Looking at the time is still early, so we thought maybe its just a few more minutes to reach.

And we saw this.

Lots of steps… uncountable steps.. but we still going Up Up Up!

The 2 and only male members were exhausted as well. Not to mention the girls and the 50++ Aunty with us.

Thing seems went wrong. Initially we decide to have a rest and make a return.

It’s been such a long and tough way walk, more than 45 mins walk, and more than 400 steps of climbing. Leon and Yen insist not to give up, so they further up to the staircase while we waiting at the rest stop. They turned back and inform us that we are near to the cave! Since we did not one to break down the groups in the jungle, hence we follow them to the cave.

It’s almost 4pm. We finally saw this signboard.

Moonmilk Cave!

We were too happy! Finally we reached our destination. We keep scolding, why the signage were so poor, even the Moonmilk Cave sign were tear off.  Somehow we were still daring enough to self explore the half closed cave. Thinking back, it’s still a nightmare to me.

Moonmilk cave is consider very small. As what we learn from the guide the day after, the cave have been closed for tourist visit. We were the only adventurous group that make it to this far. Most of the infrastructure in the cave has been vandalized. Luckily we have prepared our torch light earlier, so still managed to see some rock formation.

We are the Survivor? Yes!

Hey.. look! The signboard is back to normal.

And I even took a picture to show my victory reaching Moonmilk Cave!

This is actually the other ends of the cave.

The  adventure begins HERE!

As we got out from the other end of the cave  and all of us thought that the direction would lead us back to the park office. Everyone were so happy, as we thought we found a short cut, we don’t need to go through all the previous hundreds of staircase.  The sky is getting dark at 4.30pm. Rains were dropping  at the same time. So we did not stop but just continue the path in the jungle.

The path seems tougher this time. The staircase were built by wood,  covered with moses. The steps were slippery and fragile. It really made us have to be extra precautions going down the steps.

5.15 pm.

We finally reached a lower ground, and saw the sign of river.

Wait! The sign of river is still flowing on the same direction as what we saw earlier while entering the park. It means, we aint taking a U turn back but instead we are going further in the the jungle.  Things are so wrong now. We don’t know where are we. We could only continue the journey.

Everyone get tense up and worrying.

5.30 pm.

Saw the sign of a cave. Reading from the signboard, it’s WINDCAVE!
This is not in our plan,  we are supposed to be here on Day 2 by boat. It means that we’ve walked far from what we are supposed to go. Everyone seems panicked. Why we ended up in Wind cave? As what we’ve been told, moonmilk walk is only 45 mins but we’ve spent 3 and half hour in the jungle.

IMG_6287Again, Leon and Yen who has been to Mulu once told us the last time they come to Wind Cave were by boat. We assume there’s no short cut back to Park Office, unless we are going back again through our previous route, going up the wooden stair case, passing through the Moonmilk Cave and going down another 400 steps to reach the Park Office.

WIND CAVE - Photo Credit to http://prince.org

WIND CAVE - Photo Credit to http://prince.org

We can’t do anything right now.  We only know its getting dark,  and we think of to call Park Office for HELP. The mobile phone coverage were weak, we did several attempts only we managed to rang the office.

Sorry. There’s no more boat at this moment. “

This is the reply from the Park Office. They don’t care about our safety, and they advise us to walk back using the previous route where we got to here. We were really angry with their response. I believe if they are willing to help, they will manage to get us a boat.

5.45 PM

Without further delay, we left Wind Cave and take the return using the same path. This time, we did not stop for a rest or photo taking. The rain is getting heavier, and we start to worry our teammate might not be fit to walk back but we can’t think that much.

The 50 ++ years old aunty is still still tough. Although she says she might be slow, but infact she’s tougher than all of us!

7.15 Pm

We walked real fast this time. Non stop.  Some of the distance we even run. I tell myself, I need to be fast, because I want to buy the RM4 Coke. That will be my aim.

We made it!

Hahahaha, don’t worry, everything is alright , I’m still here blogging!
Well, the 1st thing was not buying the Coke, but we screw the security guard for being irresponsible. Since we registered at this National Park, they should have protect our security and they knew we have one elderly member in our group. We even complain that we made a rescue call, but no one seems to worry about us. Their reply is, “if really something happened, we will send our team over.” =.=!!!

Actually we were just throwing out our anger, but since everyone were safely arrive, back in 1 piece, we’re really tired to fight for the rights, but keep the energy for the next day!

The 5 other members who arrive in the afternoon were waiting for us eagerly at the hostel.

The morale of this trip. Better insist to get a tour guide if you are not familiar with the jungle. Anyway, it’s a unforgetable experience tho! I’m not recommending any of you to take up this cave, it’s really wasting time but hey, it’s adventurous!

Coming up next post, the legend of Wind Cave & Clear Water Cave.


Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Getting There

28

February

If you ask Sarawakian, what’s the tourist attraction we have here, I think most of the people will answer you MULU and follow by Gua Niah. So what is MULU? Gunung Mulu National Park is one of the World Heritage Site, and that’s the world’s largest natural rock chamber – big enough to accommodate 40 Boeing 747 aircraft park side by side.

WAH… So proud to be Sarawakian right?

But then I tell you the truth, most of the Sarawakian has never been there! And the opposite, it’s mostly visited by tourist.

That is why, I tell myself, this is what I should do one day. So here I did it, with a bunch of friends to MULU on the Christmas Holiday. =)

Mulu World Heritage – Day 1: Getting There


How to GO?
The easiest way to reach Mulu is using aircraft, MASWING. You need to fly to Miri, Sarawak and transit to Mulu. We had booked the promotional fares, which is only RM172 for both ways.

The cute & comfy ATR that carry us from Miri to Mulu.

Arriving Mulu airport, it’s a very simple building. No aircond, and even the toilet were also limited.

Welcome to MULU =) Gunung Mulu National Park !

The whole airport sounds peaceful, no crowd, and just a few tourist.  Look at the manual baggage system, haha, classic right?!

Useful Tips: Things you must bring to MULU.

1. A lot of Mineral Water. Get 1 carton since you have free Baggage up to 20Kg using MAS.
Why: It’s because most of the resources there were expensive. Including drinks, which will cost you RM6 – 8 for 1 bottle. You will consume a lot of water depends on your activities.

2. A lot of FOOD.
Why:  Of course there’s limited choice, and the price for each meal will cost up to RM10. So its better you keep some canned food and instant noodles for backup.

3. Torch light & Raincoat
Why:  Easier for your jungle walk, and the rain comes anytime!

4. Repellent & Medicine
Why:  Too much different kind of flies and insects. Better be safe.

You will need to pay RM5 per ride to go National Park or to your hotel Royal Mulu Resort. Sorry, there’s no taxi but it’s all using local vehicles.  This is the only transport you could get in Mulu, pay it or take a 30 mins walk on the rocky road to the park.

Where to STAY?
1. If you are rich, you can stay at the Royal Mulu Resort.
2. If you are on budget, then stay at the National Park, which you don’t need to take a ride from hotel to the park.

This is the National Park, hmm, what happened to the K, eaten by the monkey!

The entrance to the park also the place you can wait for your transport.

Going through a bridge, and you will reach the GREEN tourist information counter.

As it is managed by Australian, so the office does looks like the parks in Australia too!

Pictorial as a guide for your trip in National Park.

We reached there before noon. Somehow, we need to register at the information counter and get the tour information from here. The officers will arrange you the suitable tour by using a map. By then, we will know the budget needed as well as boat fees.

This is what they arranged for us. We have a total of 12 people.

Day 1 : Moonmilk Cave
Day 2: Wind Cave & Deer Cave
Day 3: Paku Waterfall
Day 4: Going home
But this is also something that I will never gonna forget for my entire life! Stay tune…

We booked the “Longhouse” chalet type, with the name “Tongkat Ali” Wtf!

No aircond, but complete with towel, bedsheet, pillow and blanket. Sharing toilet.

The Cafeteria & Giftshop.
The only place we can find FOOD & DRINKS.

You have to take off your shoes to this canteen. No good… no good…

Canteen is surrounded by the green and river.  WARN* a lot of mosquitoes!

They have computer system for the very simple transaction, looks great but their service is super slow and face is super dark.  Ok, unless you are “Orang Putih” then you get special privileged.

Lunch Hour.Nasi Goreng RM10. No ingredients just fried with carrots and eggs…..

Check In Done.

Program List Done.

Lunch Done.

So better take a good rest before the afternoon program.

We did not start the main attraction on Day 1 as we need to wait the other 5 tour members to arrive in the afternoon flight. Therefore, we can only can some “simple” walk around the park.  WARN* it’s gonna be very adventurous on my next post. Stay Tune!
