Nanjing
Here are some pictures from a 6-day school trip to Nanjing + Wuzhen + Hangzhou.
Shops.
Very Soviet-looking building.
Nanjing Massacre memorial.
Juxtaposition.
Sad how this is so industrialised.
Lei Feng Pagoda.
Kiosk outside the pagoda.
You have to climb these stairs up in order to get to the pagoda.
Another pic of the exterior.
On the roof.
Speaking of which, you can get very nice views of the city up at the top of the pagoda.
The pagoda is clean compared to most Chinese landmarks, but there can still be trash seen. Sigh.
One of the displays inside the pagoda.
Lighting.
Also stopped by Wuzhen en route to Hangzhou.
These are the alleys…
and these are the buildings.
This seems to be the main mode of transportation in the town.
Vroom.
There’re also motorcycles, but they’re usually parked. Something to do with regulations I think.
But boats you’ll see a lot.
Chinese Venice, anyone?
Shop.
Multitasking.
Very pretty banners (?).
This is how they make them I presume.
Went for a spot of hiking in Hangzhou.
I suppose where we hiked must be a very good trail-its good enough for these people anyway.
This is where we ended up: at a tea museum.
This is the tea…
which is now being packed.
I originally had more pictures but they were lost due to some hard drive failure. Sorry.
Well I suppose that’s it.
Note: Funny thing about the sign is that in Chinese, it says “We hope you can come back soon”. Completely different meaning in the English translation.
