Foshan



A day trip out of town seemed to be in order after reading papers for days!  Sixty-eight minutes on the Metro puts us in Foshan to see the sights and take in the culture just outside of Guangzhou.  Zumiao Temple, Shunde Qinghui Park, NanFeng Ancient Kiln and Qiandeng Lake kept us busy.  Most of the Chinese porcelain is made in Foshan and it is an exquisite rival to Lladro. Very fine detail but the colors are all vibrant unlike Llardo. 

The Dragon Dance at the Zumiao Temple is exercise for a week, all performed by young Chinese men.  The drums, the costumes and the audience were all part of the morning entertainment.












A boat ride on the Qiandeng Lake at the end of the day was the perfect ending to a change of pace for us.

Wisdom from Confucius!
