special privilege ! the resort owner (friend of the Shantou uncle) open up the water boat for us to enjoy!

shioke ride!

hee.. we chose the motorize boat and it was a breeze to operate!

a stun-looking Winston JiuJiu! Ha, apparently theirs is manually operated boat and half-way in the mid of the dark lake, they lost strength to cycle further and got stuck in the middle of the dark dark lake! luckily the boss took a boat out to pull them back!
