After the dragon fruit farm, we stopped at the Tanjung Sepat (Cassava) Tapioca factory and then moved on to the Qingren Qiao Local Product Shop and antique treasures display. I will leave the Tapioca factory visit post for tomorrow.
When we alighted from the van, we were greeted with bright red Chinese New Year decorations. I got busy taking snapshots of the many antique treasures.

God is our refuge and strength,
a tested help in times of trouble.
And so we need not fear even if the world blows up
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
