China Middle Kingdom 2

Not more steps!!? Rachel managed the 392 but we only managed 99!

One of the many sad scenes we saw in the city.

A typical scene on the Yangtze River.

One way to stop 'amber gamblers' although in China their driving was chaotic. The red number tells the driver how many seconds are left until the light changes to green.

We sang 'Row your boat' to the Pea Pod boatmen.

View of a gorge from our cabin. Breathtaking.

A genuine fake being made from the actual clay from the pits.

Who needs to go to the British Museum to see 10 warriors?

We visited a typical farming village. At least the chickens and eggs are free range.

Speed dating but not as we know it!

The new olympic stadium being built in Beijing is nicknamed ' The birdsnest'.

Bicycles and scooters are still the chosen mode of transport for most chinese.
