      蘭花是中國四大名花之一，為配合澳門綠化活動之精神，多年來民政總署與澳門蘭藝會合作舉辦蘭花展，展示各式各樣婀娜多姿的蘭花及蘭藝，深受巿民及遊客歡迎。這次蘭花博覽會，將展出來自中國、台灣、香港、韓國及本地的國蘭精品，此外，展場內將會佈設數個不同主題的大型洋蘭花壇，以及具現代感的蘭花插花藝術，定必使參觀者大飽眼福。
  
      中國擁有悠久觀賞與培植蘭花的歷史，早在二千四百年前的春秋時代已開始，現今日本及南韓藝蘭亦發源於中國。蘭花多被作為高雅的花卉，陳設於居室、寓所、大堂之中，欣賞清幽雅致的蘭花，對被緊張工作壓得喘不過氣來的都市人來說，是紓緩壓力的好方法，今次蘭花博覽會又可在春節期間為巿民增添一個賞心悅目的好去處。

    故宮 (Forbidden City) – 故宮真的很大很宏偉, 好像走不完的, 分開很多部分, 各有特色, 行了一天參觀了很多故宮內的展品, 最後還是沒看足所有地方及展品, 有點可惜, 不過實在不夠時間, 還有走得很累了.

 08年12月終於到了一個心目中一個很重要的旅遊地點 – 北京 (Beijing), 可能就是一句“不到長城非好漢”, 總覺得中國人一定要到長城走走, 做個好漢! 加上08年北京奧運後, 這個更現代化的古都實在更添吸引力!
其實在北京旅遊必到的景點還有很多, 可以說每個景點都令我有好深刻的感受, 希望能把這一點點的感覺拍成照片跟大家分享. 由於北京實在有太多值得去的景點, 所以這次只能選我認為最想去的, 以下就是我到過的景點和一點點的感受:
萬里長城 (Great Wall) – 沒想到要做好漢真的不易, 走上了八達嶺的其中一段, 40度以上的梯級加上一陣一陣的寒風, 實在太辛苦了… 下次還是從有纜車的慕田峪上去長城吧!
天壇  (Temple of Heaven) – 這實在是我見過最漂亮的中國建築, 所以一直很期待到這拍照, 覺得天壇就像代表了中國的一個象徵, 這兒拍的照片實在像海報一樣, 真的很開心可以看到一個這樣漂亮的中國建築.

      今個中秋假期(9月13日至15日) 去佛山往了兩晚5星Swissotel, 服務好好, 個個都識講廣東話, 同往香港酒店冇分別, 50樓既Buffet就比較貴, 食既野都唔係太豐富, 我第一日食了lunch同dinner都唔係太滿意... 但51樓既意大利采就唔錯, 貴得來都值. 去佛山除了到南風古灶買陶瓷, 仲可以去梁園, 我就去試了我新買的450D來拍照, 以下係梁園既簡介:       佛山梁園 梁園位于佛山松風路先鋒古道，是佛山梁氏宅園的總稱，主要由“十二石齋”、“群星草堂“、“汾江草蘆”、“寒香館“等不同地點的多個群體組成，規模宏大。梁園素以湖水縈回、奇石巧布著稱嶺南；並珍藏著歷代書家法貼。秀水、奇石、名貼堪稱梁園“三寶”。       梁園是清代嶺南文人園林的典型代表之一，其布局精妙，宅第、祠堂與園林渾然一體，嶺南式的“庭園”空間變化迭出，格調高雅；造園組景不拘一格，追求雅淡自然，如詩如畫的田園風韻；富于地方特色的園林建築式式俱全、輕盈通透；園內果木成蔭、繁花似錦，加上曲水回環、松堤柳岸，形成特有的嶺南水鄉韻味；尤以大小奇石之千姿百態、設置組合之巧妙脫俗而獨樹一幟，是聞名遐邇的粵中四大名園之一。 時至民初，一代名園已瀕于湮沒。鑒于其歷史、藝術和觀賞價值，1982年，佛山市委、市政府首先對現存的群星草堂群體進行了搶救保護，1990年被定為省級重點文物保護單位。繼而于1994年開始大規模的全面修復，總面積達21260平方米，依文物修復“修舊如舊”的原則，重現名園的精髓。         按此進入相簿: 佛山 Foshan

Hi all, I went to New Zealand for three weeks from the 22^nd of July to the 12^th of August 2007. Here’s what I did.

 

Auckland

Day 1, 22.07.07: I arrived at Auckland International Airport and was transferred to the Waiheke Ferry Pier where I caught the ferry to Waiheke Island. I spent the first night on Waiheke Island settling in to my new environment.

Queenstown

Day 4. 25.07.07: I was heading south to Queenstown so I had to go to the domestic airport out at Maunkau to catch my flight. I caught the ferry again to the pier in downtown Auckland and I caught a taxi to Auckland airport. I boarded the Air New Zealand flight and was amazed at the security measures the locals took for a domestic flight. A bit over the top for me! The flight would take one hour and forty minutes and I had a half hour stopover in Christchurch. Auckland was sunny when I left but the further south I travelled the darker the skies got. When I crossed Cook Strait the weather cleared and I had brilliant views of Marlborough and the North and Central Canterbury Plains. The weather was beautiful and sunny with the cold feel of winter definitely in the air. I departed Christchurch International Airport flying past the Southern Alps cloaked in snow and as I travelled further south, the weather became gloomier and I arrived to a rather dull Queenstown. The weather here was colder and rain looked imminent. I took a taxi to the hotel, settled in and then explored the centre of town.

Wellington

Day 7. 28.07.07: I caught a flight from Queenstown to Wellington to go and stay with friends. The weather in Queenstown was wet and cold. I was hoping for better weather. NO SUCH LUCK! The weather in Wellington was just as wet and cold as it was in Queenstown. My friends picked me up at the airport and whisked me off to their cool Oriental Parade apartment which was so handy. It was central and located near all the bars and restaurants in

Courtney Place

.

 

Day 8. 29.07.07: I went exploring Wellington. Went for Yum Char in

Courtney Place

, a walk around the Bee Hive, up the cable car to the Botanical Gardens and got great views of Wellington Harbour. Went back down the cable car, went to the arts and craft market on the waterfront and ended up at Te Papa Museum. A very busy but enjoyable Sunday. Went to watch a cool foreign flick too, at the old movie theatre where they premiered the Lord of the Rings. The flick was a Chinese one with Stanley Ho’s daughter starring in it. Very good movie!

 

Rotorua

Day 9. 30.07.07: I had to catch a flight to Rotorua. The flight north was pretty much the same as the Queenstown – Wellington flight. WET, RAINY AND COLD! Arrived in Rotorua all safe and sound. My friends picked me up and they took me to their house where I settled in for the rest of the day and caught up with them.

 

Day 10: 31.07.07: The weather here was sunny but overcast at times and there was still a cold chill in the air. I went to Waiotapu, south of Rotorua to explore the volcanic wonders, Rotorua is famous for and I wasn’t disappointed! The colors of the rocks and the pools were brilliant and colorful. The smell of sulphur in the air was also prevailing and the heat emanating from, the ground took the chill out of the surrounding air. It was an eerie feeling. After this I went to Whakarewarewa, the Rahui and Te Pakira. More hot pools and steam but set in an old traditional and famous Maori pa. This was a unique setting because you were walking through a village amongst the thermal activity of the area. The Maori carvings on the buildings were beautiful and exquisite.

 

Day 11. 01.08.07: I went up the gondolas on the slopes of Mount Ngongotaha, overlooking Rotorua city and Lake Rotorua. The views were stunning despite the cloudy weather. The place was empty and there were very few people there. Those who were mostly there were riding the luge down the mountain and would catch the gondola back up again, only to do it again. I didn’t ride the luge either…

 

Day 12. 02.08.07: I went for a tour of the surrounding countryside… I went to Lake Rotoiti the home of the Ngati Pikiao people. I went to Hongi’s Track and the Wishing Tree where the famous ancestress Hinehopu hid her family from an invading war party. I then went to Waitangi hot springs at Rotoma, famous with the locals who use its therapeutic properties to heal many ailments from arthritis to dermatitis. We doubled back and found our way to Tapuaeharuru Marae on the eastern shores of Lake Rotoiti, the home of Ngati Tamateatutahi/ Kawiti. This marae was and is the focal point of the local tangata whenua (people of the land). These are their places to observe and continue their customs and traditions. From here we went back to Rotorua.  

 

Day 13. 03.08.07 – Day 13. 04.08.07: I stayed in Rotorua with my friends meeting their friends and family.
