... from the west, the traditional Chinese value appreciates implicit attraction and apparently Yangzhou is in conformity with that.It is interesting that Chinese also use yan hua to address women who worked as prostitutes. I guess they share some similarity. They are both stunning but only for a while and when the beauty fades way only loneliness remains. The ...

... t get a very good write-up in the guidebooks but we thought it was stunning and really friendly in a less leery way than Suzhou. The main attraction is the Slender West Lake which is a pretty park. Ge Garden was so lovely - almost as nice as Suzhou's Master of the Garden of Nets!

... that. When we discovered the nightbus to Yangzhou I immediatly (next day) left to this spot, were Im writing from now, and Yan stayed 2 nights more at Pietros place. So.... so far, so (amazingly) good.

I hummed and harred about paying it as the grounds looked pretty small but in the end I entered as I was sure there would be a fantastic view of the Yangzi from the top of the hill where the temple was.

... to go AAAAALLLLLLLLLLL the way back the way I came to cross the river. STOOPID IDEA! After leaving the park I found a pagoda on the other side of the river and sat to chat to Amigo and read for an hour. I then began making my way back into town and dropped into a small family Kodak store to have my photos burnt onto disk ...

... large tour groups all squashed into the one place at the one time. And remember that they all 'must be first' and push and shove and get in the way. Sometimes it really is a little hard to take!
