Yunfu...
acho que é a cidade da pedra... e um dos melhores mercados do tipo do país... não sei nada disso... mas que me impressionou... impressionou...uma extensão interminável de estrada... ladeada de hangares imensos... recheados de placas de mármores e outras... 2 a 3m2 de pedra expostos como se fossem folhas de papel ás resmas... diferentes tipologias... diferentes cores e veios... e depois na redondeza pedregulhos colossais... plantados à espera de virar lasca... pergunto-me como é que ainda há montanhas na China??...

Pulau Ubin...
"Pulau Ubin is a small island (10.19 km²) situated in the north east of Singapore, to the west of Pulau Tekong.It is one of the last rural areas to be found in Singapore.
(...)
Pulau Ubin is one of the last areas in Singapore that has been preserved from urban development, concrete buildings and tarmac roads.
Pulau Ubin's wooden house villages and wooden jetties, relaxed inhabitants, rich and preserved wildlife, abandoned quarries and plantations, and untouched nature in general make it the last witness of the old "kampong" Singapore that existed before modern industrial times and large scale urban development."
