Hi my dear Steemit friends🌹

我親愛的Steemit朋友們:

Last time we went to one of the most beautiful cities in China - Hangzhou, how did you find it? :) This time let's continue this magical journey by visiting one of the Hangzhou's most special Cat Cafe- Momi Cafe 🐈 , a perfect place to taste lotus root powder 🍵 , and the well-know Chinese historic hero Yue Fei's Temple:) Are you ready for it🌸?

上次，我帶大家去了中國最美的城市之一——杭州，大家喜歡它嗎？這次，我將會帶大家繼續這個奇妙的旅程！我們將會到杭州最特別的一間貓咖啡廳——「貓的天空之城」🐈 、我認為在杭州品嚐藕粉的完美小店——「佳藕天成」🍵，並懷著尊敬的心情參觀中國英雄岳飛的岳王廟:) 大家準備好了嗎？🌸

Momi Cafe 貓的天空之城 🐈

Walking in Hefang Street, we were surprised to see a cat cafe among those time-honored brands. It looks like an ordinary bookstore without anything to do cats. However we were attracted by its impeccable decoration and homy atmosphere. 👣Being curious about what's inside, we stepped into the shop.

當我們漫步於河坊街的時候，我們很驚訝能在這些古色古香的老字號中發現一間貓咪咖啡！它從外面看起來與一般的書店沒什麼區別，但我們被它雅緻的裝修和柔美的光線所吸引，於是懷著好奇的心情決定進去一窺究竟👣。

There's a cat!!! 🐱 She was not afraid of hooman at all! She looked clam as if we were non-exist, seeming to be thinking about her existence on the hooman planet💭

果然有貓星人！！🐱 她完全不怕人，直勾勾地盯著一個地方，好像我們從不存在。她的眼神告訴我，她應該在思考自己在人類星球上的存在意義💭

The Cafe sells ONLY things designed by themselves. They also sells books on Travel, Arts, Drawing and Literature 📚.

這間咖啡室只售賣自家設計的產品。 他們還賣關於旅行、藝術、繪畫與文學類的小眾讀物。📚

These handmade soaps were just BEAUTIFUL! They were designed for travel use:)

這些手製旅行皂真的是太精緻了！！:)

The most special thing of Momi Cafe is that they helped us to send "a letter to your future self"!!!💌 After writing a letter/postcard, you could put it into a box indicating the date you want it to be sent, and you'd receive it in the future! As I mentioned before, all postcards were designed by the Cafe and they were very artful:) Look how full the boxes were! 📮

「貓的天空之城」最特別的地方是，他們會幫客人寄出「給未來的信」！！💌 當我們寫完了一封信／一張明信片後，我們可以把它放到牆上寫著未來日期的信箱中，然後，我們的信就會在未來被寄出哦！就像我剛才介紹的那樣，所有的明信片都是咖啡室自己設計的，十分有藝術感呢:) 看這些信箱被塞得多滿呀！📮

I bought this wooden postcard !!! Its a portray of the West Lake we went last time 🌿 . How exquisite!!! What is special is that we can paint on the wooden postcard by using the colour pencils provided by the Cafe ✏️. A nice way to show our artistic skills!!

這是我買的木製明信片！這是西湖的剪影🌿，多麼的精緻呀！更特別的是，我們還可以用咖啡室的彩色鉛筆為這張木製明信片上色！✏️. 這可是顯示我們藝術天份的好時機哦！XD

If you're a cat lover, or you like postcards a lot, then Momi Cafe is definitely where you should go!!!

如果你是一個貓奴，又或者你是明信片控，那麼貓的天空之城就是你來杭州的必遊之地！

Jia Ou Tian Cheng 佳藕天成 🍵

Right next to Momi Cafe was Jia Ou Tian Cheng, a shop selling lotus-related food. As I mentioned last time, Hangzhou is famous for 5 things, and "Hang POWDER" is one of them. 😍 How we can leave Hangzhou without trying its well-known lotus root powder?

「佳藕天成」就在「貓的天空之城」旁邊。在這裏，我們能找到幾乎任何與蓮藕有關的食品呢！！>V< 不知道大家還記不記得我上次介紹過並稱「5杭」的5種杭州特產呢？其中的「杭粉」就是其中一個哦！😍 在提及杭州的時候，我們怎能不提聞名世界的藕粉呢？

After making orders we went upstairs. How nice the environment was!! 🎈

我們點了藕粉後，來到了二樓。好優雅的環境！🎈

After few minutes the waiters came with the lotus powder we ordered😍 There were several flavours and ours was Matcha and Osmanthus. As shown in the photos their texture was like slightly melted, mashed up Jelly which looked like transparent gel. Both of them tasted slightly herbaceous but in a very pleasant way. 😌

幾分鐘後，我們的藕粉到了😍 ！在眾多口味中，我們選擇了抹茶和桂花味。就像在照片中呈現的那樣，藕粉的質感就如少許融化的、攪拌果的果凍。原味的藕粉是半透明的，有淡淡的草木的清香。😌

A whole set (powder + biscuits) costed 18RMB (2.8USD). I'd definitely recommend it to you because with the food quality and its environment it's really worth the money!!! 😚 Plus you could find almost everything related to lotus here!!!

整個藕粉套餐（藕粉＋餅乾）只需要18人民幣（2.8美元）！我誠意向大家推薦這裏，因為不僅食物的品質與味道堪稱完美，環境也無比怡人，是大家漫步杭州時放鬆的好去處！😚 另外，這裏的蓮藕產品琳琅滿目，也是大家買伴手禮的好去處呢！

Interesting Facts: Did you know how amazing lotus is? In the early 1990s, a UCLA research team recovered a viable lotus seed that was almost 1,300 YEARS OLD from a lake bed in northeastern China.😱 It was a remarkable discovery, given that many other plant seeds are known to remain viable for just 20 years or less. 💪🌷 It indicates that the plant must have a POWERFUL GENETIC SYSTEM capable of repairing germination defects arising from hundreds of years of aging. 👴👵
趣味小知識：大家知道蓮有多神奇嗎？在1990年代初期的時候，一個UCLA的科研團體在中國東北的河床中發現了一粒1,300歲的蓮子，並成功讓它發芽了！😱 這是個驚人的發現，因為其他植物的種子只有大概20年的壽命💪🌷 這說明了，蓮擁有著十分強大的基因，能抗禦上百年老化帶來的基因損害。👴👵

And, it found that lotus root can improve digestion, reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, prevent various forms of cancer, relieve depression... the list goes on!!!
另外，蓮藕還有改善消化系統、降血糖、降血壓、增強免疫系統、預防多種癌症、緩解抑鬱等等的好處，不能盡錄！

The Yue Fei Temple 岳王廟

Yue Fei was a distinguished general and national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. He joint the anti-Jin army which invaded the country and protected the country from being annihilated until every enemy was appalled at the mention of "the Yue's army". However, Yue Fei, who's upright and unyielding, advocated the Northern expeditions and resolutely opposed compromising for peace. Consequently he was wronged and killed by the peace party led by Emperor Zhao Gou, and Qin Hui. His life ended at only the age of 39 :(

相信大家都知道，岳飛是南宋的軍事英雄。他出身寒微，投軍抗金。他率領的「岳家軍」所向披靡，與其他抗金將領保住了南宋半壁江山，讓敵軍聞「岳」喪膽。

岳飛治軍，以身作則，賞罰分明，紀律嚴整，又能體恤部屬，「岳家軍」號稱「凍死不拆屋，餓死不擄掠」，受到了南宋國民的無比尊敬。岳飛剛烈正直、力主北伐，堅決反對妥協求和。可是，他在國君「12道金牌」的威逼下無奈撤軍，更令人髮指的是，他最後以「莫須有」的罪名被殺害，終年39歲:(

These murals record Yue Fei's life:

這些壁畫紀錄了岳飛人生的重要時刻：

We spent a fruitful day in Hangzhou. It is not only a place where you can sit back and enjoy your life, but also where you can learn from the history, and reflect what is means to us🎐. Leaving Hangzhou, we were sure we would miss it a lot. If you're thinking where to go for your next holiday, I strongly recommend you going to Hangzhou. You won't be disappointed:) I guess I'll stop here, see you next time!!🌹

我們在杭州度過了充實的一天。它不只是讓你放鬆心情、悠遊漫步的一個景區，還是一本讓我們能夠從中學習、反思的歷史書。我們帶著興奮來到，懷著感慨離去。如果你還在考慮下一個假期去哪的話，就去杭州吧。它肯定不會讓你失望的:) 好了，今天就寫到這裏吧，我們下次見！🌹
