Tourist entertainment, Panyu, China

I don’t really remember this, but I imagine it was some show we went to with our tour group.

*****

We went on a day tour from Hong Kong to the urban district of Panyu, situated on the Pearl River, and the city of Guangzhou, both part of China’s Guangdong Province. The trip was a disaster since Tim was sick for most of it and our tour guide switched places with another guide but took our group’s visas with him, as a result of which the authorities at the Guangzhou train station refused to let us leave the country, which was pretty scary. We finally got it resolved with the tour agency but insisted on leaving China that night, only possible on a ship heading for Hong Kong since the trains didn’t run overnight.

Looks interesting. I like the large animal on the left. Looks like someone must have gotten in it and driven it around. V

It does look like some sort of tourist spot. It looks pretty with the plants and colors. V

You have to wonder what it looks like now with the increased tourism to China in recent years. It looks like a quiet place then.
