yon cool and crystal fountain

Saturday, 12 September 2009 4:20 P GMT+08
Back in 2003, the powers that be decided to destroy the old city square and build what you see today. Most locals preferred the old one with its shade providing trees and places to sit down and have a cup of tea or a beer - or even dinner. Now...
