Today is labour day and also our weekly outing day. In the morning we went to Gold Coast (黄金海岸）. It is a lovely beach with the famous themepark, Discovery(发现王国） nearby.

See! There are bicycles rental here. Single, two sitters, 3 sitters, 4 sitters....wOw!

There are also horse cart.



Peaceful beach.




The sky and the sea are just like no boundaries.

This is just like a sculpture being built into a shelter.

Haha...Jonathan on bike.

Eagle in the sky!

Eagle man?

In the afternoon we were brought to the training place of Dalian Mounted Policewomen(女骑警). This place is quite interesting as we got a chance to see those policewomen and their trained horses.

Lion-like dog.

This is the spectators sitting area.

Took a photo with the mounted policewoman and the horse. You know, to be a mounted policewoman must be at least a graduate and 170cm. And, each of them can fight against three guys at one time.

Then we moved on to the next spot which is the TV Tower(电视塔）. It is located on a hill that is 170m from the sea.

Windy and foggy.

We then went up to the tower.

1 yuan per time.

See how the railing connects to floor. How come there is a tape?

From here we can see the Labour Park ( 劳动公园）.

The smallest butterfly in the world.
