    Many of these caves along the river contained caskets. How they got them up there is another question!: by suziqtn, Views[145]
         		 Phyllis and I were enthralled by the blossoms on these trees. The actually looked like miniature Japanese lanterns. In China? Ha: by suziqtn, Views[148]
         		 Yet another photo in my never-ending battle to capture an
         		 This sculpture was on the side of the tower you could climb to obtain a higher view.: by suziqtn, Views[124]
         		 A ship traverses the locks. It takes about 45 minutes per lock, so a total of about 4 hours to get from one side to the other. Luckily we did it at night.: by suziqtn, Views[159]
     
    A closer look at the locks. Having grown up in TVA territory, I could've lived without going to the Three Gorges Dam although I did enjoy the countryside through the gorges themselves.: by suziqtn, Views[144]
         		 Here is a long view of the locks. There are 5 in total.: by suziqtn, Views[137]
         		 This depiction of the Three Gorges was in a building as you entered to get on escalators to carry you to the top. The Chinese are masters of moving large numbers of people very efficiently.: by suziqtn, Views[146]
         		 Having grown up near the Smoky Mountains, I love mountains and these were no exception.: by suziqtn, Views[149]
         		 This building was at the site where we got on a boat to go through the Gorges on a large Sampan. The area was covered with people hawking their wares.: by suziqtn, Views[145]
     
    Because China has so many people, they build tall apartment building that house a lot of people. The average apartment for a family of 3-4 is only 200 square feet.: by suziqtn, Views[150]
         		 I found the countryside to be quite beautiful.: by suziqtn, Views[138]
         		 Such a calm day....: by suziqtn, Views[149]
         		 Another city.: by suziqtn, Views[127]
         		 The trip along the river was very peaceful. Occasionally we'd see a city in the distance.: by suziqtn, Views[140]
     
    The morning we were leaving to see the Three Gorges Dam, the sunrise was absolutely stunning. I also took this to prove to my husband that I actually got up in time to do so!: by suziqtn, Views[152]
         		 As we left, we had an opportunity to use the happy room. I guess because it was an elementary school, the doors didn't lock. And, here are the women all lined up, as usual.: by suziqtn, Views[353]
         		 And, I couldn't leave my roommate out....: by suziqtn, Views[357]
         		 Roommates being what they are, Elena had to have one, too.: by suziqtn, Views[357]
         		 Iona, Elena and Phyllis wanted to know what was so funny. When I showed them the pictures, they wanted one, too. We're all kids at heart. Here's Iona.: by suziqtn, Views[395]
     
    I took a 2nd one of her as well. At that point, they had to send Phyllis back to get me as the group had left. I was having such a good time, I didn't even know it!: by suziqtn, Views[356]
         		 Then, the little girl wanted one, too.: by suziqtn, Views[155]
         		 So, of course I had to take one of him with a funny face.: by suziqtn, Views[144]
         		 The boy in front of me wondered what was so funny, so I showed him the photo I'd just taken of his friend. This was his reaction.: by suziqtn, Views[152]
         		 When I showed this boy his photo he started laughing and telling his classmates. Soon they were gathered all around me.: by suziqtn, Views[145]
     
    On a whim I began taking photos with the silly faces tagged on. The kids loved it.: by suziqtn, Views[161]
         		 They had me sit at an empty desk behind this boy. He was very interested in me, but didn't speak English, as far as I could tell.: by suziqtn, Views[107]
         		 This guy really wanted me to take his picture.: by suziqtn, Views[138]
         		 This boy seemed lost in thought amid the chaos caused by our visit.: by suziqtn, Views[144]
         		 This girl was in the classroom we visited. I thought she was astonishingly beautiful. She loved my chain holding my glasses and when she noticed my red nail polish she was mesmerized. Some days you don't need to speak the language.: by suziqtn, Views[137]
     
    This girl and her mother were on the playground. I mimicked asking if I could take the girl's photo and, as was common with the kids, she gave a peace sign.: by suziqtn, Views[134]
         		 This girl posed for me several times. She loved to have her photo taken.: by suziqtn, Views[147]
         		 This little girl also performed with her classmates. Every where we went the kids were very interested in us.: by suziqtn, Views[148]
         		 We visited an elementary school where the kids performed for us. This guy was waiting to go on stage.: by suziqtn, Views[157]
         		 The big bells were hit with what looked almost like a dust mop.: by suziqtn, Views[149]
     
    We saw a performance of Chinese music.: by suziqtn, Views[165]
         		 This museum was full of interesting textiles.: by suziqtn, Views[162]
         		 Mao's mausoleum. Surprisingly to us, the revere this man who killed millions of Chinese. They view him as their George Washington! Shocking.: by suziqtn, Views[345]
         		 A beautiful tower at one corner of the square.: by suziqtn, Views[336]
         		 Soldiers stand guard. You aren't allowed to take a close-up photo of them. No one in China except high ranking people carry weapons. Neither the police nor soldiers are armed!: by suziqtn, Views[365]
     
    Unfortunately, the day we were there, there was a dignitary visiting and we couldn't stand in the square, but view it from across the street.: by suziqtn, Views[336]
         		 The well-known photo of the student standing in front of a tank was actually taken down the street from the Forbidden City. He was trying to prevent the tank from reaching the square.: by suziqtn, Views[342]
         		 While in Beijing, we visited a jade factory. This was their stellar piece. It's actually a pond!: by suziqtn, Views[296]
         		 Here are some more interesting desserts.: by suziqtn, Views[301]
         		 And, I loved the way they served this Brie.: by suziqtn, Views[380]
     
    Several of us were taking photos of these creative foods when a mother informed us these were based on characters in a recent kids movie. I suspect we were at the kids' portion of the buffet.: by suziqtn, Views[285]
         		 One night on our way to dinner outside the hotel, I saw this coffee shop, We all laughed and wondered if Luckin was really what they were implying.: by suziqtn, Views[297]
         		 The Kerry Hotel in Beijing was probably the nicest one in which we stayed. They served extremely creative and tasty food.: by suziqtn, Views[140]
         		 Having never eaten Peking duck, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to have it in Beijing. They carefully slice it into 104 pieces. It was delicious.: by suziqtn, Views[167]
         		 Serpentine in nature.: by suziqtn, Views[325]

    Eating Thai ice cream. Big pieces are cut to size and stuck with a wooden stick to make a popsicle. I had coconut and Jim had a flavor that remains a mystery to us.: by jlessing, Views[263]
