Sightseeing in Guangzhou






This is Ron posting today, Valeri and Jensen are both napping after our long sightseeing tour this morning.


David, our guide, took us to a Buddhist temple here in Guangzhou. There were tons of people there doing their daily rituals praying to Buddha. We always wanted to see a real temple and this place was fabulous. We saw the bronze statues of Buddha along with statues of the God of Mercy of China and the God of Mercy of Thailand.


After the temple, we went to a mall. They had some great deals on kids clothes. Valeri bought Jensen 3 pairs of shorts. We just walked around the mall looking at a few other stores then we came back to the hotel. The mall had a McDonald's, KFC, and a Pizza Hut. We were stuffed from breakfast so we didn't eat there.


Today was another hot day with humidity in Guangzhou, but at least the sun is out today.

Sounds like you had a nice day out. Can't wait to go to the Buddhist Temple... glad you finally got to get out.

Has the humidity fogged up the camera in the first photo? Or is it all part of the spiritual experience?!!!

Sounds like fun!

A lot of people were burning incense and with the humidity haze a lot of pictures didn't turn out so great at the temple.
