Picture Time!!!!






















Description:

1 and 2) - Xi'an - pictures of the Terra Cotta figures. They stand about 6 feet tall in real life

3) The Tang Dynasty show after the tacky dumpling banquet. The show was really good.

4) Xi'an- the Chinese mosque

5) PANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6) A really big Buddha in Leshan. It stands about 71m tall. Holy Buddha.....

7) The pedestrian square in Chongqing. Sort of looks like New York,eh? The area is only 5 years old. Here's to a Modern China!

8) My boat cruise along the Yangtze river at sunset. The boat actually looks more impressive in the picture than in real life. It was decent though. :D
