I Ching Classmates' Relaxation Trip to Guangzhou

Minda and I joined I Ching classmate’s relaxation trip to Guangzhou from 14th to 16th Aug 2026. We arrived to Skyline Plaza Hotel (天一酒店) in evening in Guangzhou.


Although the hotel is rather old, the rooms are very nice and the price is very reasonable. Transportation is very convenient. (~HK$740 two nights)


We met our classmate in the restaurant named “Zhu Zai Ji” (朱仔記).


We started the dinner.

The food was good, but the fish was too big, and we hadn't ordered it. (笋壳鱼) (Soon Hock)


After dinner, we visited TaiGuGang Wharf (太古倉碼頭).


We walked around the wharf area.


Now all the docks have been transformed into different types of restaurants and bars.


Later it started raining heavily, so we went to a bar for drinks.


Minda and I ordered different drinks.


We took a group photo inside the bar.

We had a traditional breakfast at Jianji Rice Noodle Roll Shop (健記腸粉店(廣州)) which is near the hotel.


In afternoon, we had lunch in Guangzhou restaurant.



The food was delicious and unique.


After lunch, we visited “Cantonese Cuisine Museum” (粵菜博物館) which was inside in the restaurant.


History of Cantonese Cuisine and some old tableware were showed.


Then, Minda and I went to the hospital to visit my Third Aunt's husband (三姨丈). 


He fell and caused back pain. We took him for an NMR scan.


After that we went to his bed. He seems to be in good spirits.


And then we went to Yong Qing Fang (永慶坊) for tea.


Very relax!


The scenery outside is beautiful.


Minda and I took a photo in Liwan District (荔灣區).


Then we went to karaoke and had dinner.


We took photos in front of the Hong Kong night view decorations.


Big karaoke room and good facilities.


We had a lot of fun singing it.


This is a very special cocktail. (24 glasses in total, three different flavors, only RMB$168!)


202608016: Day 2
We had breakfast in the same shop again.


While shopping, I saw a very interesting men's birthday cake.


In afternoon, we went to Guangzhou Dongyuan Restaurant (東園) for lunch.


After the food was served, we took a group photo.


The dim sum is very unique and special. The fish we missed on the first night is now being made up for. 


After lunch, we went to the Shamian Island (沙面島).


We visited different shops in here.


And then had a tea in Room 8.


The restaurant's decor is very Western.


We come back to Shenzhen and visited the Eye of Shenzhen.


It is in Gangxia North Station (崗廈北站). This station had ~20 exists!


We were very lucky to have a room for dinner in Fengtian Xiaoguan (奉天小館). Thanks for Kenny’s son Felix and daughter Dion arrangement.


Very good food!


And White Wine!


The shopping center is beautifully decorated at night. Our leisure trip came to an end, and we all returned to Hong Kong.

懷念朱鎔基

 2026812日上午1106分,朱鎔基因病醫治無效,在北京逝世,享年97歲。當年我買他的書《答記者問》是因為他對記者的回答妙語連珠、充滿智慧。這書是20098月出版。


他有很多金句尤其是打貪腐。在經濟方面,中國入世貿(WTO)是最重要。印象中,朱鎔基主持的記者會上親自點名提問:「李彤在不在?」(李彤前亞視新聞採訪主任兼主播)


永遠懷念我們的朱鎔基總理

I Ching Classmate Ceremony Dinner for Prof. Pang’s Chinese Quality Culture Promoter Award and Kinsen Birthday

Prof. Pang Wang Kee, Lawrence (彭泓基) (中華智慧管理學院) was nominated by Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) to achieve the award entitled “Chinese Quality Culture Promoter” (全球華人品質文化推動者). The award issued by World Alliance for Chinese Quality (pre-WACQ - 全球华人品质联盟(筹)) which members included HKSQ, China Association for Quality (CAQ), Chinese Society for Quality (CSQ), Macau Quality Management Association (MQMA) and Taiwan Healthcare Quality Association (THQA). 


The “Chinese Quality Culture Promoter” award recognized Prof. Pang’s contributions to the development of Chinese Wisdom Management and Six Wisdoms Management in Hong Kong.


The award issued in the 11th World Summit for Chinese Quality (全球華人品質峰會) on 6th Aug 2026 in PolyU. The chairman of evaluation committee Mr. GE Tan (SQI) presented the award to Prof. Pang.


Thus I brough three types of white wines for celebration. We find that Wuliangye (五糧液) 39 degree (Left 1) are easy to drink. Moutai (茅台) 53 degree is the strongest. However, most of us like Wuliangye (五糧液) 52 degree.


It is the package for memory.


And then we celebrate our class representative Kinsen’s birthday.


Kinsen separated the birthday and we shared it and sang “Happy Birthday”.


Prof. Pang brought the book, titled “Surviving in Chaotic Times: The culmination of 80 years of wisdom by Elder Shan Jin” (亂世易活──山今老人80載智慧結晶), and he wrote the forward. Our classmates then asked him to sign his forward.


We had a delicious and enjoyable dinner tonight.
