Hongkong Avenue of Stars Trip 2014

Hong Kong, renowned as the Oriental Pearl worldwide, boasts for both charming natural scenery and amazing man-made wonders. If so, why not go to the Avenue of Stars, where you can not only enjoy the intoxicating night view of Vitoria Bay, but also explore the Hong Kong film culture.
The Avenue of Stars is situated near the Vitoria Harbor in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, which is built to honor the outstanding celebrities of the Hong Kong film industry. I guess most of you must have heard about the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in fact the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong modeled on that. Thanks to the smart and hardworking Hong Kong actors who contributed a lot to the local film industry and make Hong Kong the "Hollywood of the East" in foreigners' eyes. Originally it was a basic sidewalk on the shore Vitoria Bay with the handprints and signatures of well-known Hong Kong actors, but later it developed into a hot tourism spot and attracted local people and tourists.

Avenue of Stars
How much do you know about Hong Kong actors? Lai Man Wai, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Bruce Lee…? Since Lai Man Wai successfully directed "Zhuangzi Tests his wife", the first feature of Hong Kong, the film industry in Hong Kong has become gradually prosperous. Several years later, the films of Hong Kong were warmly welcome in foreign counties. Here in the Avenue of Stars, you can a get to know more about the development of Hong Kong film culture and actors in the past century and discover the international superstars in recent times. Commemorative plaques and handprints of famous stars seem very attractive and precious to those visitors who are fond of Hong Kong film industry, which always make them reluctant to leave. Besides, enjoying the blue cozy sky, fresh harbor air and slowly passing ship is also a perfect choice, especially on a sunny weekend.
When the night approaches, the Avenue of Stars is an exciting place to appreciate a symphony of lights, a combination of spectacular lights, wonderful laser and relaxed music. Starting with the music, the deep blue sky of the Avenue of Stars is light up by colorful lasers, searchlights, LED effects as well as fireworks, leaving a stunning impression to visitors. A symphony of lights is regarded as the largest permanent light and sound show worldwide according to the Guinness Book of World Records, lasting for about 15 minutes. If the weather is ok, the show is put on at 8:00 at night from Monday to Sunday, providing a great chance to almost every visitor. As a international tourism resort, several language are involved in the narration of the show, such as English, Mandarin and Cantonese. So never worry about language barrier in Hong Kong.

Li River Guilin to Yangshuo

Yangshuo is a great place for hikes and cycling excursions. There's no doubt that taking a close-up exploration to the country villages, you will have a taste of the rural life. However, maybe very few visitors have expected a Li River Cruise may be another highlight across their Yangshuo trip. The landscape is decorated with rolling hills, steep cliffs, fantastic caves, leisurely boats and is lined with bamboo. A poem says: "The river is a green silk ribbon, and the hills are jade hair-pins". Tourist cruises in different boats (varying from small bamboo rafts to larger, air-conditioned ships) are offered on the Li River throughout the year and are one of the major attractions of Guilin.

The Li River Guilin to Yangshuo is the centerpiece of any trip to northeastern Guangxi Province. Li River cruise makes the small town Yangshuo known to foreigners. The town is very small that everyone will know you after one month. Located some 90 kilometers south of Guilin City, this town is the downstream end of the cruise but not the least. The enchanting fairyland of Yangshuo is renowned as the best in Guilin. The Li River originates in the Mao'er Mountains in Xing'an County and flows in the general southern direction through Guilin, Yangshuo and Pingle.
In Pingle the Li River merges with two other streams, and continues south as the Gui River, which falls into the Xi Jiang, the western tributary of the Pearl River, in Wuzhou. Gorgeous Karst peaks give you surprises at each bend of the limpid river under the blue sky. Water buffalo patrol the fields, peasants reap rice paddies, school kids and fisherman float by on bamboo rafts. With its breathtaking scenery and taste of a life far removed from the concrete metropolis, the scenery along the river become one of China's top tourist destinations.
The river generally has three sections. Various attractions like peaks and villages along the river have interesting descriptive names, which calls for much of your imagination to see what it is like. Listening to tour guide's legendary stories about the attractions is a delightful experience when you are appreciating the landscapes. Most are mystical fairy and love stories. Moreover there are various attractions in the section, such as the Elephant Trunk Hill, Pagoda Hill, Forest of Odd-Shaped Peaks, Duxu Ancient Town, and the Ox Gorge.

Muslim Tour to Beijing Suggestion

Beijing is a modern and ancient city of China that filled with history and cultural famous attractions worldwide. For Muslim travelers, Beijing is also an ideal place for visiting. Combined with my Beijing muslim tour experience last year, we had a great recommendation list for some mosques and Beijing halal food.
Here is a short tour guide including Beijing Dongsi Mosque and two best halal restaurants that I tried while visiting Beijing. Since Beijing has over 70 Masjid and is home to over 200,000 Muslims then visit at least one of famous mosque in Beijing is a must, right? Okey, then let’s start with Beijing Dongsi Mosque.

As one of the oldest mosque in Beijing, Beijing Dongsi mosque is the headquarters of the Islamic Association of Beijing. Located at No.13, the Dongsi South Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing city, Dongsi mosque was first built during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). But there is some ambiguity surrounding the actual construction date of the mosque. Some people believe it was built in the Ming Dynasty.
The main buildings of Dongsi mosque include two gates, a minaret, a prayer hall and a library. Originally, there was a minaret inside the second gate.The prayer hall has been restored and renovated many times.With Koran carved on the arches in the hall,it can hold up to 500 people.There is also a separate area in the main hall for women.
Five wing halls and three wing rooms are respectively on the southern and northern parts of the courtyard. The architectural style of of Dongsi mosque has a feature of Ming Dynasty.There are many precious cultural relics preserved in the mosque.Located in the south wing hall, the library has various versions of the Koran.The oldest and most sacred Koran is a handwritten copy dating back to the Yuan Dynasty.
Visiting Dongsi mosque had given us excellent feeling for starting to know about diversity culture of the country. I thought it was very interesting to experience and personally see different architecture of mosque in Beijing, which is blend with Chinese traditional style.
In addition, we also taste halal restaurants during Beijing Muslim Tour, there are including Manyun Lou Restaurant and Laohuihui Restaurant.

Manyun Lou Restaurant is a one of the famous Muslim featured restaurants in Beijing. Manyun Lou Restaurant has two floors in the antique styles. With its convenient location and good environment, Manyun Lou Restaurant has busy business every day.
Manyun Lou Restaurant is specialized in Muslim food, home cooking dishes and hot pot. Muslim food provided at the restaurant has unique Muslim flavor that is authentic and original. The Stewed Lamb Spine and Roast Sheep Spine are the two featured dishes in the restaurant. Vinegar Mushu and Saseam Lamb Chops are other two popular recommendations.
Hot pot is also quite hot at Manyun Lou Restaurant. Many people come here for the taste of the Sheep Spin hot pot. Sheep spine is fully stewed to get the mellow flavor. Instant-boiled mutton is another hot dish welcomed when eating a hot pot. A little fatty, but never greasy, fresh and tender, the instant-boiled mutton is very popular among customers. Address, No.14, Pinganli Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.

Laohuihui Restaurant is an old Hui-styled Muslim restaurant in Beijing. The restaurant is quite popular by Hui Muslims and Xinjiang people with its delicious and tasty Muslim food.
Though this is an old restaurant, inside its ordinary and ancient appearance is the clean and bright dining hall. Services provided at the restaurant are quite efficient. Dishes have generous quantity and favorable prices, making it a good choice for family or friend gathering dinners.
The restaurant has a large dining hall and several private rooms. At the Laohuihui Restaurant, you can taste authentic Muslim food that has unique Hui flavors. Dishes among top orders are Fried Lamb with Cumin, Braised Mutton, Lamian, Vinegar Mushu and Fried Small Yellow Croaker. Laohuihui also provides nutritious and tasty breakfast in the morning. Sugar cake is one that quite popular. Address, Building 6, Liupukang, Xicheng District, Beijing.
The halal food in Beijing has a unique flavor to it and forms an important part of the authentic Beijing cuisine. Besides those two restaurants that I recommend, of course there are many other halal restaurants.
In our last Beijing muslim tour Malaysia, we could like know different Muslim culture in other countries like in China.

Guide to Xian Halal Street Food

Xian may be best known as the home of the Terracotta Warriors, and all those who make it out to the city's outskirts marvel at the thousands-strong clay army, silently standing guard over the tomb of the ancient ruler of the Qinshi Emperor. It's a sobering and impressive sight but when visitors head back to Xian, though their minds are full of historical musings, their bellies pull them swiftly back to the present with a resounding rumble, and thoughts turn to matters of the present. Namely, where to head for dinner?
The answer is an easy one, Muslim Street. Before entering into the food directly, there are some information about this street. There are two mosques, one is called Giant Mosque, the Muslim prayer is opened, another one is Dapiyuan mosque, which is seldom known, it is not open to the public hence it is so quiet. In this district, customs of living around the Muslim were kept, men go to pray everyday, women still wear the white scarf, young people need to go to the Muslim school, they are all dreaming to join into the pray in Mega.
On that note, here are the top 5 not-to-be-missed Muslim Street eats....

this is a delicious lamb stew, served with unleavened bread which is crumbled into the dish to soak up the soup. Traditionally the diner will first break the bread into an empty bowl, depending on how hungry they are, and then the chef will ladle in the stew. Unless you speak Chinese, you'll likely find they prepare it on your behalf, so you just have to slurp it up. Add pickled garlic and chili to taste.
Though more of a summer favorite, this dish of cold noodles can be found all year round in Xian. Thick, translucent wheat or rice flour noodles are mixed with garlic, ginger, pepper, sauce, vinegar, bean sprouts, capsicum powder, salt, finely chopped or grated cucumber, caraway, chicken stock and sesame oil. A final handful of noodles dipped in chili oil is often added for that little bit of extra lip-tingling goodness.
I remember clearly that when i was in the university, one of my classmates who live in Xian always want to invite us to have the roast lamb. You'll see the whole roasted beasts on display outside any number of small restaurants toward the south end of the street. Simply sidle up and see which one takes your fancy, order as much as you can eat until you feel full and become satisfied.
With the scent of freshly baking bread and roasting meat filling the air, the quandary of where to eat quickly becomes what to eat. And it is indeed the feature of this street, you will be not disappointed to be here as a traveler. More about Xian private tour and muslim travel agency here.
