Day 6 Part III Crane Tower

Entrance




















Close up on the bell


Huge lanterns.













Look like clustered settlement to me.
An uncommon sight in Singapore.


Its 184 stpes we counted.

The crane tower story goes like this.
Once there was this taoist priest who is poor and hungry he beg for food
from a shop owner lady, this lady give him food and wine everyday.
And so the priest as a gratitude drew the lady a painting of a crane and left.
Since then the business of the wine shop grew.
Then one day, the priest come back and chant something.
Which turns the drawing into a real crane, and it flew away.
To commemorate the crane and the priest this tower is named after it.
Ticket to the Crane tower which is also a post card


Compared to Singapore sky it's so hazy here!

Crossing the chaotic-all direction cars approaching road.
To Han jiang bu xing jie. Didnt buy anything there:(




Find out that actually the Chinese are also somehow environmental friendly
as most places we can find solar panels and wind turbine used to generate electricity.
