The sun was setting along the skyline of Shanghai.

Waiting for the magic blue (approximately half an hour after sunset) night scene.

And finally, the legendary Shanghai night is in front of me.

The ingriedents are a Motorola Lapdock, a MK802 and an app called Mirror Ops.

The Motorola Lapdock is basically an LCD display with HDMI input, a keyboard, a usb hub and battery in the hosing of a notebook.

A closer look at the HDMI and usb port which suppose to connect to a corresponding moto phone.

The MK802 is the smallest android computer.  It have no display or input devices.  You suppose to connect the device to a  HDMI display and external keyboard and mouse to make it works.

Connecting the MK802 to the lapdock give you a working android netbook.

MirrorOp is an app in the android world that allow one machine send it’s screen to another via WIFI connection.  The app is divided into 2 apps, the MirrorOp sender and the MirrorOp receiver.

When connected, the MirrorOp receiver side could also share it’s keyboard to the sender side.

When we are brought back to the airport for boarding, the sun have already set.

The next morning, we went to a theme park based on the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival.  It is build to simulate the architecture of the Song Dynasty.  As we have already missing the night show due to flight delay, we have to grep our opportunities while we are here.  The following is the Almond tea and pear drinks we have in the park.

A restaurant on our way to Shao Lin.

We arrived at Lou Yang.  The Real Difference Restaurant is crowded with people.  But their dishes looks good and taste good.  No wonder the business there is so hot.

The first shooting location the next morning is the Long位Gang Caves.  As Lou Yang is hosting the Peony Festival and attracted a lot of tourist at that time, the Long Gang is crowed with people that morning.

We went for the Peony exhibition in the afternoon.  We are getting lucky as the lighting is special at that time.  The garden is unevenly lit by the sun.

After shooting the Peony, we went to Jiao Zuo.  We have plenty of time that day.  When we arrived at the Hotel, the sky is still bright.

That night, we went to AWU to have our dinner.  The cuisine in AWU is equally fine as compare with Real Difference.

We take a short walk along the streets of Jiao Zuo after dinner.

Anywhere you could not find McDonads and KFC?!

The next day, we went to the Yun Tai National Park.  This morning our destination is the Zhu Yu Peak.

We continue and trip in the afternoon in Quan Pu Gorge.  Shooting river and water falls.

This is the last day of our trip, we went to the Yun Tai National Park again and visited the Red Stone Gorge.

The Red Stone Gorge is still swamp by tourist.

Endless stream of tourist brings endless supplies of garbage.

The biggest take away for me in this trip is knowing that the flowers from a Firmianacan be so beautiful.

We were back at the entrance of the park waiting for our driver to pick us up.  A veiw of the hills we have walked on yesterday.

We have our lunch in Zheng Zhou before went for the airport.

Last but not least, the vehicle for this trip.

Finally, the flight back to Shenzhen was on time and we completed our pleasant journal as plan.

This is a multiple exposure shoot.  It brought down the setting sun and added a dreamy feel with the defocus.

The light rays is really unexpected to me.  What a surprise.  Together with the reflection of the setting sun on the terrace field.  The view is just magnificent.

Long Shu Ba is our sunset shooting location that day.  It is a smaller place but our shooting location is closer to the terrace fields so that we could get a clearer shoot from there.

Actually we don’t spend much time a Bada.  We just move on to another location after half an hour there.

The view of the Bada terrace fields are very grand.  The problem is that the shooting location is far from the terrace field while the air that day is not clear enough.  So, we decided not to spend our sunset shooting chance here.

We found a family in the village that is preparing to do some weaving.
