    On the streets of Chengdu, some serious flirtation was the order of the day between these two. So funny to watch.: by lolo, Views[386]
         		 MMMMMMmmmmmmm. Bamboo....!: by lolo, Views[579]

    Standing in front of the ancient bell tower in Xi'an.: by lolo, Views[481]
         		 What my guesthouse owner called 'china special food' ~ just a wierd rice flour custard thing dipped in all manner of chopped nuts, candied fruits, etc. Way too sweet for my taste.: by lolo, Views[481]
         		 The old drum tower in Xi'an. In ancient times, all walled cities had both a drum and a bell tower, the purpose of which was to keep time and maintain order and routine within the city. Meal times, waking and sleeping, and prayer times were governed by the chimes of the bell or sound of the drums.: by lolo, Views[578]
         		 I only wish I could have gotten this close to the real ones - this is a shot of the army of souvenirs for sale.: by lolo, Views[474]
         		 Hard at work, making tiny mini terracotta warriors. We were assured that the construction methods were exactly the same as the originals. These guys are NOT to be confused with the far cheaper, METAL warriors also for sale.: by lolo, Views[673]
     
    One of the many stops on the way to the Terracotta Warriors ~ this time, to see carpets being woven by hand by really bored looking chinese girls.: by lolo, Views[411]

         		 On the way back from the Terracotta Warriors, we stopped at this little museum of Chinese art. My favourite, though, is the 'lion' chewing on its leg. So odd.: by lolo, Views[396]
         		 Just outside of our hostel in Xi'an, these buskers made their living damaging our ears. Strange music indeed.: by lolo, Views[471]
         		 At the train station in Xi'an ~ ya gotta love the english translations!: by lolo, Views[562]

         		 A street within the ancient city of Pingyao ~ the wall is possibly the last remaining intact city wall in all of China, and the warren-like maze of alleys and avenues inside has remained unchanged since the Ming Dynasty. The place is absolutely swarming with Chinese tourists.: by lolo, Views[434]
         		 Something i saw from my vantage point of the wall. I liked it. : by lolo, Views[516]

    Out front of Chairman Mao's Mausoleum, just behing Tiananmen Square. I've never felt so conspicuously white before ~ I was definately the only westerner in line to see his body. I was blown away, though, by how intensely admired this man still is. People were moved to tears, and bowing to his statue. Amazing.: by lolo, Views[1105]
         		 Caitlin, digging into hot pot....the best meal I'd had in a long time~!!!! We dipped absolutely everything into the spicy broth ~ tofu, yam, potato, noodles, cauliflower, spinach, lotus root ~ you name it.: by lolo, Views[433]
