Walking out into more park area, it seems different part of the park has different trees planted on them. Here it looked like pine. The place is so wide that it was hard to spot people around you if they are far from you. One could disappear into the horizon!
There were minor temples and hall around the park area too. Those that are not as popular as the main buildings. They were build in similar design, and less people visit these places.
Around late morning, the crowd was building up. It started to get really hard to take any decent photos by then! Luckily we were done with all the main sights! I just wanted to see one last sight, which was the Seven Stars Stone.
While walking around in search of the Seven Stars, we walked by a match making area. Wow! I've heard about this before, and saw it on documentary. To be standing right there was another whole level. Being there and being able to read all the advertisement of single man and woman looking for marriage. Most of the advertisement are placed by usually their parents of grandparent. And the requirement for a partner is pretty detailed too! From salary, job, housing etc. I wonder what are the successful rate of such match making!
Finally I found my Seven Stars. Apparently it is just 7 huge stone on the garden..... lol.
Here is another view of it. Seven is an auspicious number to the Chinese too. I bet it will bring me luck while I am in China too! Oh man, I felt so lucky that day! And with that, we decided to leave the park and head to another side of town to search of late lunch/tea/dinner.
