PingYang Yellow Tea Fest

PingYang Yellow Tea Fest

I recently was invited to visit a mountain festival with a fellow I’ve known here in town for a little while. It was quite an honor. It was a pleasure.

A collection of the photos are below.

Hiking Yueqing Mountain

Hiking Yueqing Mountain

Recently, I went up a mountain to the east of Wenzhou. Please forgive the great quantity of photos here. The fact is, while you may see 65 here, there were 70 more that aren’t. I hope that you can appreciate that this set represents an entire day, so your few minutes are still but a glimpse. One day, I’ll figure out how to have 8-photo sets. . . But not today.

I hope you enjoy them!

Great Wall MTY, 2016

Great Wall MTY, 2016

In 2016, my dad came to visit China and we went many places. One of them was the Mutianyu portion of the Great Wall. Really a nice trip. I hope you enjoy the images. Enjoy them.

Summer Palace 2016

Summer Palace 2016

During my father’s visit in 2016, we went to the Summer Palace. This set contains the images from that visit and a few from the opera.

Enjoy.

Forbidden City 2016

Forbidden City 2016

So, in the summer of 2016, my dad came to visit, here in China. We saw many great places and enjoyed the traveling between as well. This set contains the shots of our wander through the ancient citadel and palace now known as the Forbidden City.

I hope you enjoy the meander.

Quanzhou Park

Quanzhou Park

East of the ancient region of Nanyue, there was a city that the Song Dynasty called Saitan. . . This is where Marco Polo was able to leave from during the Yuan Dynasty after his many years in Kublai Khan’s court. . .

This small set is of a park that has been created using buildings that were deemed too nice to destroy, but in the way of modern progress. So, instead of destroying everything in the path of rapid urban growth, these houses were picked up in their entirety, then placed in a safer area in Jinjiang, just west of the city’s center.

Guilin’s Jin Keng Rice Fields

Guilin’s Jin Keng Rice Fields

My father came to visit me in China in 2016. One of the places we went while he was here was in the area of Guilin. It is an ancient area that is well known for its terraced rice paddies that are now something of a tourist attraction. This is a collection of the images of that place.

Xian was amazing! Riding bikes on the city wall, drinking under the lights of the bell tower, and everything else in-between.  I’ll be back! Loved it!

Much of what we’re looking for is largely a surprise.
