28 Feb 2010 - Visit to Qian Hu Fish Farm

We were pondering where to go today and eventually, we decided to pay a visit to Farm Mart and Qian Hu Fish Farm. It has been quite sometimes since we last visited these places. And of course, it Javier's first time to both farm mart and Qian Hu.

It's a very hot afternoon and both Jerlene and Javier fell asleep while on the way to Farm Mart. When I reached the carpark of Farm Mart, they were still sleeping. So I decided to take a quick look around myself and see if there is anything interesting. Sad to say, I did not find any. As such, instead of waking my little angels up, I decided to drive down to Qian Hu and let them have more sleep.

Actually Qian Hu Fish Farm is just a short distance away from Farm Mart, less than 10 mins drive. After we reached there, we waited a while for both Jerlene and Javier to wake up. Initially Jerlene was quite unsure where she was but the moment she saw all the fishes, she started to get excited. Javier was not as excited as Jerlene but he was very focus on the fishes.

Round the corner there was a longkang (drain) fish catching area for the kids. It's half an hour for $5 and you are given a small fish tank plus a fishing net. Catch as many fishes as you can within the half an hour and you can bring back all of them, including the tank. All of us, especially Jerlene, had thoroughly enjoyed the session.

In total, we caught about 20 fishes but by the time we reached home, almost half were dead. It's expected because the same thing happened the previous time. I still remembered all the fishes died overnight.
As the weather was very hot, we were all very tired when we reached home.
