this pic was taken by a stranger... can only see half of the Guangzhou Tower... hahaaa...

after cruising for around an hour, we're sent back to the pier... we had another late dinner - SEAFOOD dinner @ 鸿星... if not mistaken, it was the most expensive meal we had during the entire trip....

delicious....

highlight of the day - the mini abalone...

after the scrumptious meal, few of us took a cab back to hotel while the rest of them walked back...

met up again with the rest of them at hotel around 5-ish for early dinner... our flight was scheduled at 9.10pm... initially, we planned to have dinner at airport but last minute we decided to eat at the restaurant next to the hotel - Restaurant Four Season...

after queueing for 10 minutes, we're told that we're at the wrong counter for domestic flight... all of us ran to the correct counter for international flight... and we thought we gonna be late for boarding... in the end, we found out that out flight was delayed for half an hour !!!

in the end, we reached LCCT at 2am !!!

there were having some function there, so we were not allowed to enter...

after taking some photos there, few of us took a cab to 上下九步行街... and the rest of them took the train... there was some miscommunication in between, we wasted around 45mins waiting for them... so we quickly went for our dinner...
