Well, i tried to update the blog and document my journey through China but unfortunately i had difficulty in getting internet access. Thus, this is an outstanding post and i'd like to share with y'all about my experiences...
I went to visit a factory in the northern part of China. The people there are still very much into the Communist regime and demonstrated here in the pix where they hang the oath/charter of the Communist party and everyone must obey it with passion.
Later, the host took us to a halal restaurant and one of their delicacies is shown here. Very high in protein content, i was told and good for man. Crispy on the outside, squiggy in the inside. Haha.... sedap gak.. Anthony Bourdain styled luncheon.
Snapped this photo while waiting for tickets to visit a historic park. The pix depicts a mother trying to console this young kid not to be afraid of me..!!!
This park is reknowned for its historical artifacts and it said that this is where the most beautiful chinese writing of all-time was found. This park is now being nicely preserved and well taken care of. A very scenic park.
The 'Great Hall' where the best writers all over China were once kept and trained by the Qing Dynasty. On the right, is a replica of the most beautiful Chinese writing ever produced in history of mankind.
Mao Tze Tung tried to emulate the writing but this was the best what he could conjure up on a big rock.
Later, we went to one of the most significant archelogical findings in the world. This is the grave of Su Bin (the grandson of the writer) and the place where Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" was found. I've read this book before with amazement but never i would imagine that i will be visiting the place where the book was found. Its regarded as the mother of all modern military strategic and intelligence masterpieces. 
The Art of War book published in the market has 13 Chapters. Here, i got to know that the original book has 18 Chapters..!! Mankind has never be able to decipher the last five chapters because the original copy has been damaged to pieces and there are gaps between the sentences. Scientist are still working to unveil its mysteries. See pic... (that's the original copy where Sun Tzu had written on bamboo strips).
This is a replica of the original script and that is how they use bamboo strips as paper in those days to document their writings.
The serene park where Sun Tzu's Art of War was found. The relics were discovered in 1972, some 2000+ years ago after it was buried. Profoundly, the contents are still applicable until today even in Masters and PhDs studies. Many Chinese businessmen are also using it as part of their strategy tool in running their day-to-day business. A well-known fact.
