我的旅游日記: Jiao Ling, China

This is my first ever family trip with my parents. The purpose is to visit my family in my hometown in China. My hometown belongs to Guangdong Province, near to the border with Fujian Province, a small town called San Zhen in Jiao Ling, in Chinese it's written as 广东省梅州市蕉岭县三圳镇方圆背.

4 Sept - 10 Sept

Budget airlines is lousy but we still stick due to the price, this time we took Tiger Airways TR2986 from Singapore to Guangzhou. My cousin who stays in Pan Yu fetched us in Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and drove us back to our hometown. It took 5 hours to reach Jiao Ling, all the way is tollroad.

Jiao Ling is a village of Hakka people. Our family welcomed us with authentic Hakka Cuisine. The village is so tranquil and beautiful. All the paddy fields and mountains are so green, the sky is so blue. Weather is very hot in September, average temperature is about 35 degrees.

The people in the village are so friendly, it is very safe over there as well. People rarely close their door except when they are sleeping. Neighbours sometimes just come to drink tea and have chit chat. I could feel the sincerity that have been lost in big city life.

We didn't visit many places for the week, we spent most of the time having chat with our family. All the places that we visited, our family over there sent us by car. Below are some of the pictures of my hometown.
