Jinan, China (II)



This bus is driven by electricity, and it is running on the road. As such, the bus has to follow the route exactly as it is connected with wires.


Jinan International Airport. This airport has been upgraded simply because there will be Olympic events here in year 2008.


We were queuing at the check-in counter. The airpot is new and spacious and not many flights landing here. I think that's why many counters were closed.


This is the airplance we were taking from Jinan to Beijing. This is a small Air Bus 330 airplane.

This airplance belongs to Shandong Airline, a small airline company in China.



After check-in and borading. On my left are borading gates and on my right sides are shops.

Jinan, China



Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, China. This is developing city, there are many constructions ongoing.


Crowne Plaza Hotel. We were staying for about 3 days. This is a nice hotel, but a bit expensive. It is about RM500.00 per night.


This is one of the river in this city, even though it is a bit contaminated, but can still see people fishing along the river side.


This street looks very antique, but when you walk into this street, it may not be so attractive. Not very clean.


You can easily see group of people like this, squat down at the road side playing Chinese Chess.


This man is selling some food at the road side and at the same time reading newspaper. Not sure whether safe to buy food from them, that's why I didn't try.


I was curious what is this building but too bad didn't have time to visit this place.


This is taken at the juction of one of the main road.


Local Chinese walking on the street. It was about 5pm, time when many people go homoe after work.

Guangzhou International Airport



This is a new airport. It was an old airport but now has been re-build into a new, advance and modern airport.

This airport is quite crowded, if you are taking transit flight with only 2 to 3 hours, you should move fast. Somemore the signboard does not give very clear direction.



I took a domestic transit from here to Jinan, taking this photo from inside of the airport.


This is the arrival hall. From here I can see that this airport is quite big and can accomodate quite a number of customer flow.


This taken at the departure gate. We were waiting for the next flight. There quite a number of shops at this area, and the price is also expensive.


This are of the airport is still under construction. It is in the month of July, a hot summer, outside temperature is at least 34 degree celsius. But see from far, it is a bit hazy.
