- Dragon Bus Tour: QufuAfter seeing the Forbidden City, Confucius' Temple was not quite as impressive as I thought it may be. However the 'Forest' (graveyard for Confucius and his ancestors) was less ostentatious, and more sincere.

- G80 廣昆高速上週四離開巡檢的末端
富寧縣城
位於雲南廣西的交界
與廣西的百色僅百來公里
早晨室外三度
空調室外機結了一片霜
難怪整晚室內機暖氣不熱
相機也鈍鈍的
四輪傳動車在濃霧中奔馳
就瞧瞧高速公路沿途即景和一些當地奇怪的地名吧
