Guangzhou
(page 1)
Back to China photo album

We spent most of our time in China in the city of Guangzhou.  This page contains various pictures we took while we where in Guangzhou.
 
This 7-Eleven was located across the street from the White Swan Hotel.   Many of the buildings near the hotel had bamboo scaffolding fastened to their exterior.  Workers were putting a new face or surface on the exterior of the buildings. 
Even tall buildings had bamboo scaffolding covering the exterior.   Tall buildings also had green netting affixed to the scaffolding to keep the workers from falling to the ground. 

A park with manicured bushes was located a short distance from the White Swan.  Workers were installing a new sidewalk. 
Some of the local people would exercise in the park. 

This woman exercised with swords. 

Guangzhou has a tropical climate. 

Each Banyan tree in the city 
had a marker. 
Some local women would meet in a park near the White Swan to play Mahjong. 

Some of the men got in on the Mahjong action too. 
A meat market located about a block from the White Swan hotel had fish, eels, turtles and other live animals for sale.

I'm not sure what these worm-like creatures are, but I believe it may be the intestines of snakes or some other animals.  I saw another small tub of these at the snake restaurant we visited.
