... the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Burtynsky makes large-scale photographs of 'manufactured landscapes' - quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams.

... a major production centre for small and micro bearings. Like most Chinese cities in South China, this too is a city vibrating with life. NIght life is active with numerous KTV bars in operation and alongwith Chinese restaurants, the city has a fair no of KFC's , Mcdonnells and Pizza Huts. Continental food however is mainly restricted to restaurants in hotels.

Reached Ningbo after another 4 hour bus trip, all on modern highways. 20 years ago China didnīt have any highways and today itīs a 30 000 km network, second only to the US. Ningbo is another big city, and my last stop before heading back to Shanghai and flying out.

... relation to attractions or anything because we were only there for one night but we did walk to a chinese restaurant from the hotel.

We stopped off at a big open-air shopping centre in town where there was a really great shoe boutique (but unfortunately, again, they don't really cater to a size 9!) but they also sold sunglasses and other bits and peices. There was also a Watsons chemist there and a ...

... and the heat very draining. It took me about an hour to adjust and fill myself full of water. Moon Lake (Yue Hu) is beautiful. I slowly made my way around it and found the door ways etc that I had found last night in the fading light. Whilst I was taking a picture I heard someone say, 'that's a beautiful door'.

... to head down to Wenzhou and to then grab a bus to Fuzhou and head home. A good twenty or so hours of sitting time over a few days. That ought to do it! BUT....nothing ever works out that way hey!
