The entrance of the Kong Mioa, a temple dedicated to Kong Fu Tse, better know to us westerners as Confucius. The characteristic red walls in the Forbidden City. The Summer Palace has the worlds longest wood covered walkway in the world. This picture shows part of the ceiling in one of the little towers along its way The main tower of the Summer Palace. This one hides a statue to one of the goddesses of Fortune. The view from here is spectacular as Beijing can be seen across the lake. The Tien Tan On we moved to Xi'an where we visited the Grand Mosque. This was rather a departure from the many Arabian mosques I've seen so far. Another shot of the Dayan Ta. A garden wall in Chengdu. Early morning in Guilin. Reflections of ornamental trees. One of the luxurious throne rooms in the Forbidden City. I've seen at least three of them, each more elaborate the the next. The next morning we were off to see the Thousand Mile Wall, also known as the Great Wall of China. I don't think serving guard duty here was much fun. Especially in Winter. The Dayan Ta or Great Goose pagaoda is known as the place where the Monkey King delivered the scriptures of Buddha after his return from India. The Black Dragon Park in Liyiang. Pagoda in Dali. The Three Pagodas in Dali. Early morning in Guilin. Fisher in Guilin. Temple in Guangzhou. Buddha statues in the aforementioned temple. A small temple in Sha Lin (The Stone Forest).
