1991-2000

Gorge, Panyu, China

There appears to be some sort of garden area at the bottom of the gorge. I don’t think we went down there, just viewed it from above.

*****

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.

Scenes like this are what make a visit to China worth going. Too bad you were unable to also visit the garden below.

Splendid photo, shows amazing depth. Must be quite a climb down. That would not be as tough as having to climb back up! Sorry to hear about your adventure in Guangzhou. Quite irresponsible of the tour guide. Btw, these pictures must have been taken on film and scanned into digital form? V
