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.
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.
Enjoy:
This was a kind of museum that I’d never seen before. Called Xian HanYanLing Museum
This was perched over the site where everything was found. Brilliant, really if you think about it. How better to a/ not disturb things and b/ be true about how the things were found in the ground. Really a neat way to have a museum. Of course they had things in cases too, but it was fun.
