单眼看中国-苏杭、上海背包行~ ^^

中国，一个美丽的country，这是一片蕴含着五千年文化的土地，噢such a beauty..怀着非常exciting的心情我踏上了这片向往的大地，感觉好像在dreaming..蛤 你问我why am I doing this？为什么要中文夹杂着English？Well原因很简单，I did it.. because I can~hehe .. 毕竟这就是这一次中国背包行的心情，五味杂成七彩缤纷，感觉很突然且震撼中又带点眷恋，反正就一句话，It’s complecated.. XD不好意思，我又犯二了，但是没办法，想到月前的中国背包行心情就像吸了纯氧般high，不由自主的就是想闹 XD Anyway还是回到主题吧，不然可能有人不耐烦得快砸电脑了（千万不要啊童鞋，电脑是无辜滴..砸坏了除了会有个泪流满面悔不当初的你之外可能也没什么其他意义 lol）。

这次不写详细得像行军般的旅游攻略了，毕竟背包行就是要随兴的到处游荡流浪，总跟着攻略走哪多没意思是吧，反正有问题想问的就留言呗，但不保证有问必答就是了（我又不是十万个为什么 :P）

凡走过必留下痕迹，虽然不能留足迹，但我留下了笔迹 ^^

Opening完了，那么就开始咯..为大家诚意献上中国背包游的po文part 2：单眼看中国-苏杭、上海背包行..*掌声鼓励*~ （没看过part 1的童鞋请点击这里吧>Part1舌尖上的对决——包子战之南翔小笼Vs小杨生煎< ^^）

那麼接下来就为大家送上一些重点挑选深情推荐的苏杭、上海必游且值得一游之景点及照片吧..首先献上步步精心路线大纲：

出发地- LCCT, Selangor, Malaysia>杭州(2D1N)>嘉兴(2D1N)>苏州(停留1D1N)>上海(5D4N)>返航KLIA, Selangor, Malaysia. (因为必须出席国际药理大会故在上海停留时间稍长，建议可把上海行程缩短至3D2N，而多出来的时间可添至苏州&嘉兴 ^^)

  

Day1: 杭州ft. 大井巷、中山中路、鼓楼、清河坊、南宋御街步行街、中山南路美食街

杭州中山南路美食街，这里夜晚可是吃货的天堂啊 XD

Day3: 乌镇- 日游东栅老街景区、夜游西栅新景区

乌镇，一个六千二百年历史的水乡，它真正的美唯有置身其中才能深切体会得到 :) 无论如何，我想每个第一次看见乌镇夜景的游客反应都是一样的..都是用“哇~~（注意，要拉长音哦 :P）”来做开场 XD 这是有着中国水乡最美的夜景，口说无凭，有图为证，请看 :P

乌镇东栅

在这试了56%的酒，呛啊 >.<

一千六百年的时光流转下，随便按下快门就是一张很有feel的照片 :)

夕阳西下，西栅夜游开始^^

夜晚的乌镇，灯火阑珊中透着一丝厚重历史的静谧，风情万种美不胜收啊~b^^d

Day4: 苏州ft. 拙政园、观前街

苏州拙政园

夏天的中国走在街上的我感觉都快变火种了..蛤？你问我什么意思，就是热得快可以燃烧了咯..中国夏天36度的高温真不是盖的，绝对的热情如火啊~建议要到中国旅游的朋友记得选择春秋两季，气温十多二十度的，绝对惬意 :)

“江南园林甲天下，苏州园林甲江南”，看了照片，这话你懂的 :)

苏走拙政园园林艺术之最：借景北寺塔

Day5: 苏州ft. 虎丘

           上海 ft. 东方明珠塔、外滩观光隧道、外滩

只为了这片无敌夜景 ^^

Day6: 上海 ft. 老城隍庙+豫园、上海老街（方浜中路）、淮海中路商业街、新天地

上海城隍庙景区里别的什么都没有，就是一堆东西你可以买，伴手礼啦，小吃啦，大大小小的中国风小物啦，琳琅满目的沿着好几条街道蔓延开来，绝对是淘宝圣地 :)

豫园

上海老街

Day7: 上海 ft. 南京路步行街、吴江路美食街、新世界城、外滩

Day8: 上海周边游ft. 七宝古镇

Day9: Free & Easy （逛街购物搜美食买手信任君选择）

结语：中国的美是内敛的，尤其西湖及苏州园林，只有慢慢的逛静静的走才能感受得到，背包行期间看到无数的旅行团走马看花匆忙喧哗的穿梭于各个景点，个人觉得有些暴殄天物，平白糟蹋了这些景点的美，建议到中国还是选择一些比较从容且时间松动的旅游方式。此外这里绝对是个美食天堂，而且价廉物美，在中国作为一枚吃货绝对是幸福的，至于淘宝购物的话则记得货比三家咯，相同的物品（尤其是伴手礼）不同地区价钱可是会差上几十块人民币。

那么中国背包行part 2之风景篇就到此结束，接下来将送上吃货特选美食篇，敬请期待 ^^

Nuffnang Premiere Screening: Elysium movie review

After 4 years of quiescence, Neill Blomkamp the master mind & creator of District 9, an unique independent science fiction action/thriller film which is technically brilliant and emotionally wrenching is finally back. Bring in a brand new science fiction action film- Elysium.    

Story line: “In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the avant-garde medical care available only on Elysium - but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy who once a criminal & in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – breaking into Elysium, most heavily guarded place in the universe.. A mission that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces - but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.”

District 9 was a spectacular sci-fi movies of the past decade, it was a relatively low budget movie with unknown cast, however succeeded in delivering a captivating tale with style, it is indeed an unique & one of the kind science-fic movie at its best. So inevitably Elysium the Blomkamp science-fic sequel will bear an enormously high expectation which perhaps hard to fulfill. Well for those with such anticipation, Elysium with its ravishing special effects and fine performances will not fail to impress you ^^.

Putting aside the facts that this is a film with triple budget of District 9's & starring by a pair of Oscar winners Matt Damon and Jodie Foster which makes it simply bigger & better, what really impress me the most is the director’s brilliant proficiency in establishing shots, crafting out an imaginary future world which looks so real that for a second you would actually believe that this is how our future world will be like in the reality.   

Despite delivering a stunning visual package of a science-fic genre with shiny spaceships, advance weapons and explosions, brutal action scenes, the timely issues of poverty, overpopulation & inequality are nicely presented onscreen. The story telling part of little girl Matilda is pretty touching as well, a demonstration of pure love & caring which personally I think is beautiful ^^     

Though Elysium might be relatively less engaging and unique when come into comparison with District 9, still this is another sensational Blomkamp movie, a remarkable blockbuster science-fic film which definitely worth your time & money :)  

Thnx to NuffnangMY fr d tics :)

Rating: 8.4/10~ ^^
