Dongbei Trip Day 3 & 4


(Emperor Yong Zhen)

Day 3 still in Shenyang
we were told to be going to visit the bronze statue of all the 12 Qing dynasty emperor
we thought that it would be somewhere sepcial
but it was just situated at some random area in the city
the reason for showing just one emperor has got to do with the books we read...
If you know what sort of book that i had been reading all the while
there this is the emperor that the female lead will always have conflict with
in other words the 男主角.
Next was Shenyang palace
It is the mini version of the 北京故宫
well i have also been to that few years back...
It was not really cold that day only -10+ degree celsius
but that was the day i really couldn't stand and nearly cried because i was so freaking cold..
It kinda sounds like some joke because i didn't felt that way in Harbin
which was definitely so much more colder
maybe it is just that palace are usually colder...
All of us cannot tahan, haven finished walking we all hurried the tourguide to end the tour
all want chiong back to the bus...
Just a few pictures...




The bare 御花园 cause all the leaves faltered




I totally forgot what was it for... Chimney?


The famous 满清一条街(If you have a little knowledge...)


This is the super sad 九一八纪念馆...
I shouldn't be smiling anyway
shall not go into details
rough summary: History behind the sufferings during WW2
you know that Japanese cruelty towards Chinese etc...
My tourguide became so emotional when he brought us through the musuem
it was really a tragedy for them i gues...



All the stones represent the soldiers or normal citizen that were 牺牲 during that time


And our dear Hitler inside..(Told you i got there to recap history..)


2 pictures below look like SBQ source right ?
*What can you infer from the picture below...*






Day 4
Took 4 hours bus ride to Chang chun
had lunch at this super communist restaurant called 向阳屯
All the respective rooms are decorated with newspaper from as old as 1949...




See so communist....




And the Man Ze Dong statue ...
History students should be familiar with him
Communist leader...


Next was the Puppet Emperor Imperial Palace - 伪满皇宫
From the name you know the last emperor was just a puppet
or in other words -傀儡
I shan't elaborate on the history details
cause it is kinda sad to think back at all the stuffs..
You won't understand how i felt unless you went on the trip with me
and now Changchun is part of previous Manchuria already....
or other know as Manchukuo
so all related to history again...











I still remember the name of this Empress and another concubine...
Tourguide brainwashed us with their name that day
and told us all the stories of them and Puyi life..
fight for the empress status etc...
皇后婉容 淑妃文绣(remembered without refering to picture below)
















The last emperor of China - PuYi


I like this paragragh the most out of all the exhibition that we saw
it was a mini exhibition hall that summarises the whole life of PUYI...
He said this...
Although it sounds abit propaganda~



If i'm not wrong, they do not know where to put this train
so they just left it outside the 伪满皇宫
we spent quite a few hours inside the 伪满皇宫
i learnt alot and had alot 感慨...


That day was Christmas, sg tourleader sang us Christmas song...
Forgot to mention we have karaoke session on coach everynight
just on our way back to hotel...


The super expensive and rare apple that we had for christmas...




Bought a winter hat from h&m, look so much like Mongolian
not the one i'm wearing...
see it in my later post...






ByeBye
