When you are on a vacation, please dress like a tourist. This hat i really loveeeeeeeeeeeee. (♥♥ ___ ♥♥ ) you can ask Karmen. I was so desperate to buy that but my money was spent on buying a crystal bracelet for mummy. What a filial girl! haha.. Mummy dont allow me to buy because she said i should not spend on unnecessary stuff.
The clear and blue sky was so beautiful.
The array of shops along the central square of Yalong Bay looks unique in their style. The sun was scorching and we were so unmotivated to go to Yalong Bay, so we stayed under shelter and ate ice cream.
When it was almost time to gather, an Auntie from Chinese Mainland in the same tour as us asked if we had visited the beach yet. She told us the beach is so magnificient and we should not miss this golden opportunity. Out of curiousity, we headed towards the beach.
