After a long time, we finally can fix our eyes on it now . With exciting mood sitting on the front of the TV, and when I had the first sight on the opening ceremony, I believed this must be a great work . On the one hand, I have faith in the director Zhangyimou who is a genius; On the other hand, the scene was so splendid that I couldn't find proper words to describe that. It impressed me deeply at the beginning of it, some very beautiful girls were elegantly dancing in the light and music with such a huge and great Chinese old painting which was stretching . And then, tens and thousands of actors were performing on the huge stage wearing chinese old clothing in traditional way. I guess which showed Qin dynasty cultures or long before. Seeing from the top of the nest, they changed their formation from time to time, sometime the formation looked like a big Chinese word, and sometime is another wonderful painting. To everyone's surprise, so many people perform this show shipshapely without any mistakes. Someone told me:" it's pretty hard to control so many actors in such a huge stage, but this is a perfect one." At this time, which also reminded me of the Impression Sanjie Liu in Yangshuo, which is the largest natural show in the world, also directed by the famous director Zhang yimou. If the weather permits, Impression will be showed on the Li River in the open air, about 600 actors perform it with kinds of dances, sounds and colorful reflections. This show is very similiar to the opening ceremony in Beijing Olympic Games.  I really appreciate we have such a great director in this country.  So proud of the Perfect work, Great artist, Great nation!

Actually, on the one hand to see what the animals look like alive and realize the original things that we eat them for lunch or dinner. And it will give you another enjoyment when you are bicycling around the market outside Yangshuo. On the other hand, it will make you know where their foods is coming from and how to tell the good from the bad for your health. You know, some animals died or dirty are harmful for your body.

The villages in the vicinity of Yangshuo are best visited on market day, which operate roughly on a three-day, monthly cycle. Thus, market take place every third day starting on the first of the month for Yangdi and Baish, on the second of the month for Fuli and Putao, and every third day starting on the of the month for Yangshuo and Xingping. However, after the market the next one is four days, not three, but this doesn't happen in all towns. You can ask the receptionists in hotel or bar if you are still confused. You can get many local folks and foods on the markets. Don't forget to choose some as souvenirs.
