I highly recommend to anyone staying in Guangzhou to take the night cruise on the Pearl River. First of all, the food was terrific, even if there are no high chairs so you have to do the Acrobat feeding of the baby on your lap. Second, I LOVE the Chinese approach to Neon. It is EVERYWHERE and it is FABULOUS. Every bridge and building is covered in lights and it is a beautiful sight to behold. The big lights on the White Swan, as seen from the river cruise are seasonal lights that say Happy Chinese New Year in Chinese.I don't know about the magic show, we all had to leave and go up on deck when it started after dinner. We had to leave because during the magic show, they turned up the music so loud we had to go up on deck. The song was sadness, by Enigma. What a bizarre song to play during a magic show. Apparently they do like that song in China. It worked out fine. We all went upstairs and took these pictures.
Earlier in the day we went shopping at a large outdoor market in Guangzhou. There was a large "educational" sculpture showing what happens to the "naughty kids" who try to sneak through the gates.
Wow, what a journey...i feel like i've travelled with you. The pictures are amazing...i teared up seeing Libby feeding her little brother. And the photos of the bless you got in the temple: lovely, just lovely.
