Zhuxiandong (竹仙洞) Park, Zhuhai (Part 2 of 2)
The second and last part of my Zhuxiandong Park post. The photos are too many to fit on just one post so I will finish where I left off.
Deities
This park is dotted with temples containing different Chinese deities. Most of them I cannot recognize except for Buddha. I am not sure if I was just lost in translation but as my friends explained it looks like there are many variations of what Buddha looks like.
Buddha in yellow cape aka "The SuperBuddha"
As my friend mentioned, this is also an image of Buddha.
Zhuxiandong (竹仙洞) Park, Zhuhai (Part 1)
The weather last Saturday is warm and sunny. So off I got to Zhuxiandong Park in Nanping to check if the cherry blossoms are still present.
The arc that leads to Zhuxiandong Park. This is the landmark you will be watching for coming from the street.
Continuing your way from the arc near the street you will encounter this gate and ticket counter. Ticket cost CNY10 per person.
This is the tree and flower-lined road that leads to the park
To my dismay I cannot see any trace of pink blossoms on the trees. Looks like the flowering period for this year is over. So I decided just to roam around the park and take photos of anything interesting. This park is one of the major attraction of Zhuhai especially on Spring Festival, the time the cherry blossoms are in its peak. Aside from the cherry blossoms, this place is also famous for its stone carvings, stone statues of famous personalities in Chinese folklore, altars of various Chinese idols or deity. Going to this park is also like communing with nature because of trees and bamboos along the trails. Numerous gazebos can be found around the place for a relaxing rest and chat with friends.
feisha beach
We went for a photo trip last weekend and our destination is Feisha Beach (飞沙滩) in the southwest area of Zhuhai. It is located to the once Gaolan Island (高栏岛). The island is now directly connected the mainland after laborious land reclamation. It took us more than an hour of travel to reach the beach. Midway on out trip the weather turned bad but became hot and sunny with clear skies when we reached the beach.
Perfect day for a swim in the beach
first outdoor macro shots
The day after I bought my automatic extension tube off I went to the nearest park island here in my place. This park is a great place for outdoor photography because of the vast natural habitat that exists here. After I arrived I positioned myself near a row of flowers at the foot of the hill. I just stayed put and observe the plants around me and soon I found different insects hopping and flying around.
