Kyoto Day 1


From Tokyo Disney took Night bus to Kyoto, and reached kyoto in 1 piece at around 8 am in morning!

Becos it is still too early, hence i cant check in my hostel...

Hence i cant really change my clothes...

Hence i only had a quick wash-up and rented a bike to travel around kyoto city!

(becos i didnt have the time to change my clothes..haha still wearing the same as the one set i wore in disney so i didnt took much pics of myself on this day >.< )
All the buildings in kyoto is around this tall...or shorter...as kyoto is an ancient city of japan

Tall buildings are forbidded as it will affect the skyscape of kyoto

PS: wire wire wire...

In kyoto, everywhere is bicycles ~!

The road in kyoto is constructed to be so smooth and suitable for cycling.

I love cycling in kyoto city!!!


My first meal in kyoto. Pretty pathetic as i just bought from 7-11 and ate outside of it

with my bicycle parked beside me >.<

drank a lot of QOO in japan >.<


After cycled for nearly 40 mins under the bloody hot sun~

I finally reached

世界文化遗产 - 金阁寺

All kanji aka chinese characters..keke i have no problem looking at them at all >.<


The ticket plus blessing 符。

Very pretty 金阁寺 surrounded by a small lake.




English ...Korean or chinese...

I doubt this kind of fortune draw will be accurate...

八成是骗人的 >.<

Very typical, there will be a small temple for praying inside these kinds of places.

To protect the precious wooden structures, water basins is all around the places.

But just 1 can put off the fire ? >.<


After 金阁寺,went to another famous place 龙安寺。

It is not a temple but inside just a place famous for a zen designed white garden with 15 stones.

Took sometime to find this place...hidden in a small corner of the city.



The so called famous 15- stones zen garden.

keke...Mayday 阿信在书里有提过这里。。。

不管从什么角度,都看到不到all 15 stones.

我在那里看了蛮久,嗯看不到all 15 of them.

还有,因为太热了。。。我在那里小睡了一个小时。。。哈哈

真的。。。36度。。。热死我了!


防预胜于治疗!

Cycling downslope to another temple !

Met some guys along the way~ cycling upslope...辛苦了


My bike and the big blue sky.
