Shanghai Airport-Fukuoka

Fukuoka Airport-Fukuoka City-Bodo Station (International Line-Airport Free Bus-Domestic Line-Fukuoka City Camp Subway)

Bodo Canal City (Shopping Mall)

Bodo Chinese Bird (Restaurant)

After more than a month of preparation, JR Kyushu Railway Tour arrived as scheduled. The main destination of this trip to Japan is Kyushu. Kyushu is not the name of a province or a scenic spot in Japan, but the general name of several provinces, which is equivalent to the three northeastern provinces of China. Therefore, it is rare to find relevant tourism information about Kyushu in Japan on the Internet. Fortunately, the itinerary was made by–JR Kyushu Railway Group, the inviter. As long as there are 3-day or 5-day tickets for the “JR Kyushu Railway Pass” and the government also has a recommended itinerary, there is no need to do a lot of homework before departure.

The theme of this experience is “Travel to Kyushu by Train”. As the name implies, the train is the highlight of our trip, which also reminds me of my yearning. At home, the better impression of speaking of trains is the high-speed railway that has just emerged in the past two years, which is also used for ordinary business trips or short trips. The worse impression is the spring transportation, crowded carriages, large bags of luggage and outrageous train attendants. For better or worse, it is only a means of transportation for travel, rarely combined with travel and sightseeing, so it is rare for travelers to write the journey experience on the train into your travel notes.

It is also to experience the uniqueness of JR Kyushu’s Shinkansen railway. The whole trip is designed as a free way to travel. In addition to taking trains, we also have to take trams, subways and taxis on the road. In this way, we have completed the three counties of Kyushu (Japan’s counties are equivalent to China’s provinces)-Fukuoka, Dafen and Kumamoto. The beautiful scenery, delicious food and novel initial experience all the way make people feel that Kyushu is free to travel.

This time we chose the “JR Kyushu Railway Pass” 3-day ticket. We bought the “ID card replacement” at the domestic Japan Airlines or major travel agencies in Shanghai first, and then went to the relevant exchange points in Japan to exchange the “JR Kyushu Railway Pass”. This is our “pass” in Kyushu for a few days.

May 29, Shanghai-Fukuoka-Bodo

Shanghai Pudong International Airport took flight CA915 at 12:10 and arrived at Fukuoka Airport in an hour and a half. However, the time difference between Japan and China is one hour, and it is almost 3 pm to arrive at Fukuoka. Fukuoka Airport is not far from the center of Fukuoka City. It only takes more than ten minutes by car. This is also the first thing that feels fresh when you first arrive in Japan. However, it is also convenient for tourists to a great extent. Perhaps this is also the reason why tourists who come to Kyushu will choose Fukuoka as their first stop. Fukuoka Airport is a small airport, so it is more convenient to get in and out. Go through all formalities, get out of the airport, take the airport bus from the international line to the domestic line, then take the subway to Bodo Station and stay in the hotel.

The way to buy subway tickets in Japan is similar to that in China. It is more convenient to put in coins and issue tickets than in China. The above route list also shows the price (divided into adults and children), and also reflects the care of the designers.

Only this ticket is a bit like a ticket from the Republic of China. Ha ha, from Fukuoka Airport to Bodo Station, it costs 250 yen.

Bodo is the comparative center and prosperous district of Fukuoka County. The airport is not far from the city center and has convenient transportation. It is also the first choice for tourists to visit Fukuoka.

After leaving the subway, the designated “JR Kyushu Travel Bodo Store” at Bodo Station was exchanged for “JR Kyushu Railway Pass”

Show your passport and the “ID card replacement” purchased in China, and after exchange, you will have these books in your hand, mainly using the rightmost PASS.

Bodo stood in Osaka Shopping Mall, Fukuoka’s largest shopping center. The uniqueness of this shopping mall lies in its roof, the small garden on the roof renovated in the limited space, and when tired of shopping, you can have a rest here, as well as a small train that you can sit with the children, and at night you can enjoy the night view of Fukuoka while drinking beer at the “open bar counter” on the roof……

In the afternoon, I went to Canal City, another shopping center in Fukuoka. Fukuoka Canal City likes the design of this shopping mall very much. The Bodo Canal passes through the center of the shopping mall, with restaurants and green shade on both sides, making people place themselves in it instead of being in a shopping mall. It is said that the son of the owner of this shopping mall has also opened a similar shopping mall in Nanjing, and he would like to have a look when he has the opportunity.

Canal City Shopping Mall is a little more “civilian” than Osaka Express at Bodo Station. It is not so upscale. There are many kinds of department stores, but it is my favorite. On the 4th floor, there is also the largest duty-free shop in Fukuoka City. All kinds of exquisite shops, a wide variety of jewelry and handicrafts, I couldn’t help thinking that if we came with our girlfriends, we wouldn’t be able to get out of it for a day. Ha ha

Dinner-Chinese bird Japanese cuisine, looking at all kinds of exquisite Japanese cuisine, can’t bear to eat, then the words are true: Japanese cuisine is to see with eyes

After drinking and having enough food, I decided to walk back to the hotel. It was about 9 o’clock in the evening. Pedestrians on the streets had less desire to see. At night, the streets of Bodo were blowing sea breeze and tasted a little salty. Cars passed by from time to time on the streets, but I couldn’t hear the horn or whistle. Japan felt very good on the first night……

I. Sand Bath

People bury their bodies below their necks in sand to enjoy a sand bath in Biefu, Kyushu Island, Japan. Burying your body in sand and using naturally heated sand for SPA can promote perspiration.

2. Oil Bath

A man is immersed in oil for bathing in an oil bath nursing home in Naftalan, Azerbaijan. It is reported that this oil is rich in sulfur and is effective in treating arthritis and skin diseases.

Three, red wine bath

A large antique barrel, a beauty as white as snow, a layer of rose petals emitting spring scenery, and a bottle of red wine overflowing with bouquet-like a picture of beauty bathing.

This is not the petal bath that has long been popular, it is one of the food baths that have recently been accepted by people-red wine bath.

4. Curry Bath

At a hot spring shop in Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, waiters add curry seasonings to the bath. According to the store owner, this bathing method of adding curry seasoning to water has the effects of improving blood circulation and skin care.

Five, beer bath

Hakone Town, Kanagawa Prefecture, which is only one day away from Tokyo, is a mountainous hot spring resort. A hot spring park here has set up a beer cup-shaped bathtub, which is full of hot beer with the faint scent of hops and barley.

According to reports, taking a beer bath can clean and moisten skin.

Hakone Town Hot Spring Resort also provides tourists with coffee bath, tea bath and Japanese rice wine bath.

Six, black mud bath

In the “Dead Sea” scenic spot in Daying County, Sichuan Province, tourists smear black mud on their bodies to enjoy relaxing time.

Seven, milk bath

In Beijing, milk bath is not only rare, but also extremely expensive! And often only in * * to do, has become a very luxurious thing. However, it is different in Jilin. In the bathhouse, there are not only baths for people, but also milk baths! And only need to increase 5 yuan’s money than the regular bath is enough! Is it too cost-effective, ha ha ~ ~ small places also have the advantages of small places oh ~ ~

Eight, tomato bath

Tomato bath is very popular in Florida recently. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins, phosphorus, cellulose and other nutrients, so local residents think tomatoes have the effect of tender and ruddy skin. They often soak tomato baths regularly by adding a small amount of alcohol and boric acid to tomato juice, stirring evenly, and pouring them into a bath with appropriate water temperature. The recommended soaking time for tomato bath is 25 minutes.

Nine, chocolate bath

Chocolate is a favorite dessert. However, nowadays Japanese women are popular in enjoying chocolate bath. After a hard day’s work, I ran to the beauty salon, covered myself with chocolate, and then slept in the sweet fragrance.

On the first day, we booked the itinerary for the second day at Uncle Billy’s travel agency, “Jungle Three”, including riding elephants, jungle rafting and crossing jungle villages. We arrived at the hotel at 8: 40 a.m. To pick us up and returned to the hotel at 5: 40 p.m. Including a lunch, 600B per person. Is the price OK? The original price is 900B.

After driving for more than an hour, we arrived at our destination. After getting off the bus, we saw a group of tourists just getting off the elephant. It seems that this time was arranged in advance. Although I have been to many zoos before, I have never seen elephants so closely. As soon as I got off the bus, I gave one to the two elephants coming towards me.

The owner of the elephant, riding on the elephant’s head like this, did not worry about falling off at all. I felt a little suspended.

The tour guide took us across the river from the wooden bridge to the balcony on the second floor of a wooden house and climbed to the elephant’s back in pairs. According to the tour guide, the chair on the elephant was not carried when riding the elephant. It would be very uncomfortable to ride on it. Now it is much more comfortable to be equipped with a chair than before.

The elephant here is so docile that tourists will cooperate quite well when touching it.

The baby elephant does not have to carry guests, but it has been following the elephant.

The head of the elephant we rode was photographed on the back of the elephant.

The woods nearby are very dense, the air is very fresh, and it is especially pleasant to ride an elephant for the first time.

The taste of sitting on the elephant’s back is far less comfortable than imagined. In addition, the mountain road is rugged, sometimes climbing and sometimes wading. Looking down from the high elephant’s back, I am afraid that I will fall down. Especially when I go down the steep slope, the elephant is almost upright. My two hands are tightly holding the handle, and the other hand is holding the camera. I wish I could get out with one more hand.

The Italian young man was very brave and sat in front of him from his ride, but he was still very nervous as he went up and down the hill.

The elephant we were riding was taken by our elephant trainer boy for us. He used my camera to click and click to take many pictures. I came back and saw few pictures clearly. Ha ha, it seems that he is good at driving elephants, and taking pictures is really not very good. However, I can also choose some good photos from many photos, and I am still very grateful to him.

My lover and I rode on an elephant, seemingly relaxed, but in fact we were still very nervous.

This little elephant was also taken by the elephant trainer for us.

I also got a close-up of the baby elephant, ha ha.

Our team marched through the jungle with great force. The elephant we were riding followed at the back of the team all the time and reached the first place as we approached the finish line.

Elephants stop from time to time to eat grass on the roadside.

Our elephant ran to the front. I had to turn my head and shoot back. It was very uncomfortable. I also had to be on guard against falling down. I took many patches of hair paste on the elephant’s back.

The elephant trainer was cutting the skin of the tree to feed the elephant. He told us that the elephant liked the skin of the tree very much.

The people sitting outside a cabin in the woods where we rode elephants looked frightening and did not know how to make what with their faces covered in broad daylight.

Looking ahead, the road we are going to take is full of mud. If it weren’t for riding on the elephant’s back, it would certainly be extremely difficult to walk.

Our elephant is about to cross the river. The elephant is walking down and my body is sitting back hard. The pieces taken under such difficult circumstances are really not very good. Ha ha.

The honeycomb in the tree wanted to take a close-up, but failed to take a clear picture. The elephant walked past.

When riding an elephant across the river, the elephant is still playing with water in the river. From time to time, it pumps water out with its nose and sprays it out. Some tourists are sprayed with water all over their bodies by the elephant. Ha ha.

After crossing the river, we returned to the starting point. This circle of elephants was both tense and exciting. After getting off the elephant’s back, I gave a close-up of the elephant we were riding as a souvenir.

No wonder Thais like elephants so much.

The cameraman in the scenic spot is asking the baby elephant to distribute photos to us. The baby elephant can accurately distribute each photo to each of us. The baby elephant is too smart and does not know how to distinguish it clearly. The people in the photo are so small, hehe.

The scenic spot specially prepared sugar cane for tourists here, so that tourists could buy sugar cane to feed elephants and elephants, and 50B was given to a few.

Almost every group of tourists bought sugar cane to feed the elephants.

Everyone was very happy to see the baby elephant eating sugar cane, and the baby elephant also showed kindness to every tourist.

Everyone is taking photos with the elephant.

Everyone wants to touch it, but they are all afraid, said the trainer. Don’t be afraid that it is very gentle.

This foreign tourist is taking a photo with the baby elephant, but he still seems a little scared. Ha ha.

What a clever little elephant, I like it very much.

The hair on its body is very prickly, hehe.

My little son rode on a docile elephant.

The meek baby elephant told him to get down and he got down.

The foreigner is tipping the elephant trainer.

If you want to experience the pleasure of riding elephants through jungles and streams, it must be Chiang Mai, a city in northern Thailand.

We rested here for a while and then got on the bus to the next scenic spot, “Jungle Drifting”.

As Sister Gang said, the first sight of Thailand’s Grand Palace was not very important at all. Its entrance was narrow. I was used to the style of China’s imperial palace and did not think much of it.

In fact, one cannot be fooled by superficial phenomena. When we walked in with * *, The glittering glittering light hits your eyes in a moment, I saw the sharp spire soaring into the sky. However, all kinds of houses are covered with golden coats. Under the sunshine, they are so dazzling that the whole building of the Grand Palace is strewn at random. Although there are different buildings, they do not look crowded. Some buildings are rectangular roofs made of a piece of golden yellow and green fish scale glazed tiles, which has Thailand’s unique architectural style. We Chinese are also proud of this grand palace. It also has many buildings with Chinese characteristics, which enrich the magnificence of the grand palace with Chinese materials.

Many parts of the Grand Palace are lifted by gods of different shapes, and various gods guard the luxurious Grand Palace in different positions.

According to our tour guide Peter, the largest in this grand palace is the Jade Buddha Hall. The hall of the Jade Buddha Hall is tall. On the 11-meter-high decorative box stage in the hall, a jade Buddha carved from a piece of emerald jade is enshrined. It sits cross-legged and has a solemn statue. Its exquisite sculpture can be called one of the world’s best. Jade Buddha is covered with priceless gold wisp clothing, which is divided into three sets: hot season, rainy season and cool season. When the season changes, the king holds a grand ceremony to change clothes for Jade Buddha with his own hands to protect the safety of the country and the people. This jade Buddha is regarded by Thais as “the treasure of the town”. When we enter the Jade Buddha Hall, we have to take off our shoes and enter. If we bow down, we need to put our feet behind to show respect. No photos are allowed in the hall. The management inside is strict. Entering the hall, I involuntarily lowered my voice, while craftsmen were constantly trimming various patterns on the edge, and many people around me knelt down devoutly to pray for their families.

Outside the Jade Buddha Hall, you will see the piety of good men and women from time to time. You will silently pray for peace and happiness to the idol. Some foreigners are also constantly joining in. I think they may not understand the real meaning inside, but their blessings to their families are the most true.

In the Grand Palace, There are Chinese civil and military generals, Despite the wind and rain, But their manner is still lifelike, When we saw these statues, Also don’t avoid customs and take a few photos with them, According to reports, this was transported by Chinese merchant ships a long time ago. Similarly, there are myths and legends similar to Journey to the West in the Grand Palace. However, the monkeys in their myths have become more humane than Sun Wukong in China. He will fight for women. All this shows that the cultures of China and Thailand have a long history and close relationship.

Although the grand palace is glittering with gold, it is also approachable. You can see flocks of pigeons wandering freely on the grass. Children can climb freely on the grass like these pigeons. No one will stop you. When you are tired and sit on the side steps to rest and chat, no one will gather them. At the same time, the king of Thailand will come to this palace from time to time. The king is not out of reach in Thailand.

When we walked out of the grand palace, There were peddlers selling various souvenirs around us. The police patrolling the street saw them and criticized not only the peddlers but also our tour guide Peter. He said that when guests did not need them, they should not follow the sales promotion. This would make tourists who like Thailand have a bad impression. The tour guide’s failure to prevent the peddlers from selling was also a dereliction of duty. All this reminds me of tourist attractions in some parts of China. Vendors carry out mandatory sales and will have unhappiness with tourists. Managers saw or complained and did not deal with them in time. In this regard, Thais’ love for tourism deserves our consideration and study.

The glittering Thai Grand Palace leaves me a golden memory.

Read the travel notes, please comment. A response, a favorable comment or criticism, even if it is just a smiling face. Some criticisms will be corrected and some favorable comments will be shared by more friends.

I often see “travelers” on the Internet about Bangkok’s airport and traffic problems. I have collected some official information and sent it to you for a look, especially those who have come to Thailand for the first time. I hope I can give you a general concept.

Perhaps due to the uploading of pictures, the clarity has decreased. Travelers can right-click to download the picture and enlarge it.

I will not repeat the details on the information. The ratio of Thai currency to US dollar these days is about 30: 1.

Luxury cars: mostly “Mercedes-Benz”, “BMW”, “Volvo” or “Toyota-Camry”, etc. The price will be higher than that of ordinary taxis, and it may be more than 1,000 baht (in terms of distance) when entering the city.

Ordinary taxi: if calculated by distance. Normal to the city center 300-400 baht. Even from the airport (southeast of Bangkok) to the northwest of Bangkok, it should not exceed 600-700 baht. Tolls for elevated or high-speed roads are paid by guests. Generally, guests should prepare small change (20 baht or 50 baht in face value) before boarding the bus and avoid 1000 baht or 500 baht.

Most Thais still “do business” honestly. However, a few will also be “dishonest”. For example, “cheating” on the meter; Resize the wheel, etc. In particular, the proportion of those who do “foreign tourist business” will be higher. This is also a “normal” social phenomenon. As long as it’s not too much, “take a step back from the sea and the sky”! However, don’t take a taxi without a watch!

Rental car: Rental car at the airport for self-driving, the average price will be higher than the average. As it is a large company, the car condition, procedures, insurance, etc. are relatively complete.

However, when driving in Thailand, some things should be noted: China’s “driver’s license” is not “legal” and “international driver’s license” should be used. Even if you can rent a car, in case something happens, please.

Thais have a big difference in “character” between normal times and driving. Don’t honk your horn too much when driving in Thailand. When necessary, you can only “knock”. Honking your horn for a long time is regarded as “scolding”! At ordinary times, things between Thais generally do not reach the level of “scolding”. Therefore, the consequences of “scolding” may develop into unmanageable ones! ! ! (Often the end of “scolding each other” is to pull out a gun to solve)

Thailand’s driving is “British”, (such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc.) the steering wheel is on the right and the car is on the left. Although the traffic laws and regulations of different countries are the same, there are many habits that will be very different. For example, pedestrians on the road will let their cars cross the road first and then cross the road (except for foreign tourists and those from the countryside); Bangkok traffic jam + red light takes a long time, so when you can drive, you will drive at full power. However, cars driving from the roadside or alley will wait for straight-line cars to drive before coming out. This means that maybe it will speed up the passage and let you drive out earlier. The same situation is also suitable for “lane change” when there are multiple lanes. Suddenly “inserting” in front of someone else’s car for a short distance will be considered “insulting”! Remember! ! !

Speed is not particularly important in Thailand, and the current traffic regulations seem to be decades ago. For example, the speed limit for the expressway to Pataia is 120, but those who drive 120 often drive in the (slow) lane on the left (my “normal” speed on the expressway is around 120-140). On other government-to-government roads, except near the town, people’s normal speed is above 100-120. However, the speed limit of traffic regulations is 90! Generally speaking, there is no “road purchase money” or “bridge crossing fee” for roads between governments. However, if some “small police” fixed-point speed measuring stations are “caught” and “settled”, it is the original intention of the “small police”. The local price is 100 baht, if “foreigners” may want 200 baht? Tips: 1. Good attitude (the attitude of the “little policeman” is much better than that of the domestic, smiling) 2. Even if you can speak Thai or English, please try to “communicate” with him in your hometown dialect! Prevent him from speaking a little Chinese. This will save you a little money. The key is to “save time”. In addition: Generally, before we hit the road, we will prepare 1-2 100 baht bills and open them separately. -People’s desires are bottomless, and it is “normal” to have more money and more points of intersection.

In a word: it is my principle to give up (small) money to eliminate disasters when going out.

Suggestion: Look at the “traffic habits” locally before deciding.

There is nothing more to say about the bus at the airport. As long as you don’t litter the car + don’t talk loudly (just have different habits).

The bus at the airport should be OK. However, in urban areas, it is not recommended to take “air-conditioned” buses. The “air-conditioned van” is more popular and convenient in Bangkok and its surrounding areas.

From the airport to the city (city center), it is recommended to take the light rail. -Just at the reception area in the airport, there are two transparent elevators, which are less than 50 meters from the bottom floor, i.e. The starting point of the Airport Link. There is an automatic ticket vending machine and the small window next to it can change small change.

The first (City Line): The starting price is 15 baht, and the ticket price from the starting point to the ending point is 45 baht per person. It stops at 7 stops and arrives at PaYaTai Station in about 30 minutes after driving. 05:30-23:50

The second type (Express): from the airport to MaGaSan Station, the previous stop of PaYaTai above, without stopping. The fare is 100 baht/person, and the terminal MaGaSan Station is about 15 minutes after driving. 05:30-01:00 0500

Newsletter: Now everyone has a mobile phone. Domestic mobile phones can directly use Thai cards. Thailand’s mobile phones are charged one way and have no “roaming fees”. They can also be used on the border with Laos. There is a mobile phone card called “SIM INTER”, which belongs to “TRUE” company. Use it to call back 2 baht per minute in China and 3 baht per minute in Thailand. The “7-11” small supermarkets that can be seen everywhere in Thailand can be bought at a card fee of about 130 baht, and an additional “prepaid card” is required. You can ask the salesperson to help “open + recharge”.

To dial international, you must dial 00600 first, then the country number (e.g. China) 86, then the area code (mobile phone does not need to dial the area code) + the telephone number

For example, if the telephone number of a friend’s home in Chengdu (area code is 28) is 12345678, dial:

00600862812345678

Another example is: when you call a friend’s cell phone (no matter which city he is in) and his phone number is 13512345678, dial:

006008613512345678

Thai Currency Exchange:

One principle: No matter what the ratio is, the less money is exchanged. (Excluding the rise/fall of foreign exchange)

Exchange points at airports and scenic spots can only be changed when they are in high spirits.

If Thai coins can be exchanged at home, it is recommended to exchange them first. For example, 200-300 yuan RMB is enough. The rest, in dollars. Because as soon as you leave the airport, you need cash. The most cost-effective exchange point in Thailand: from the airport to the city, light rail is recommended. -There are two elevators at the reception area in the airport. The starting point of the light rail is less than 50 meters from the bottom floor, and there is an automatic ticket vending machine. The fare is 45 baht. The small window next to you can change small change. After arriving at the finish line, the bus at about 5-6 stops away from it or on the second floor can get another light rail, turn left (north) and sit on “SaPan Kuai, which reads: Sapan Kuai (meaning: Buffalo Bridge)” and the fare is about 20 baht, right? When you arrive at the station, go back to the crossroads and turn right. Is a row of exchange shops. The price for doing local business here is the most reasonable in Thailand. According to my experience, Thai currency is not a currency in circulation in China (it is relatively worthless in China), so if banks in China can exchange RMB for enough Thai currency you expect, it is also an option to exchange it in China. (If it is not for a big sum of money, the difference is the price of a meal.) However, if you already have US dollars, it is better to go to the above places!

Recently, domestic “UnionPay cards” can also mention cash in Thailand’s “commercial banks” (purple marks). According to some domestic friends, the ratio is also good.

Plan before exit and customs clearance

Shops and restaurants will be more expensive than normal, including small supermarkets like 7-11. However, the hygiene and quality are better, and there will be many special products and foods that meet the tastes of tourists.

Plan after entering the customs

The “duty-free shop” after entering the customs is worth buying! Especially for famous brand cosmetics, cigarettes and wines from Europe, America, Japan and other countries, I often see friends of domestic tour groups “snapping up” Chinese cigarettes. However, goods made in Thailand will be much more expensive than those on the market!
