| 1/27/2012 Xinzhuang Park is the Plum Blossom gem of Shanghai. The buds were just about to burst when we took a look. While small, the park exuded charm and character with many bonsai and quaint bridges. |
| 1/27/2012 Qibao, Shanghai, China. A pituresque water town in Shanghai with a temple, crowded streets, and amazing variety at the food stalls. |
| 3/3/2012 Suzhou, China lies less than a 2hr drive to the west of Shanghai. The leaning Yungyan Pagoda on Tiger Hill was visited, as was the much smaller Lingering Garden in the city. Tiger Hill was beautifully landscaped and their bonsai/rock display was impressive. Shown are some brave window-washers in the city, then some scenes from the Lingering Garden which used to be a private home. |
| 3/4+5/2012 Hangzhou, China, lies about a 2 1/2 hr drive to the south of Shanghai. Some of the pretty scenes from Xixi Wetlands (first two pics - the place was a bit of zoo), West Lake, and the Jade Emperor Taoist Temple: the climb was beautiful but hard on the old legs. Had to take the wedding couple posing! |
