Other places of interest....

We visited the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall.  This is a historical memorial to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, forerunner of Chinese Revolution. Our guide called him the "Father" of their country, much like our George Washington.

 One thing I loved about China was the sense of community in the parks.  There were hundreds and hundreds of people exercising in them!  Or dancing....

Loved all the RED in China!  It is my favorite color, so it looked like they decorated just for me!

Chen Ancestral Hall

Located outside the west gate of Guangzhou City and built 1888-1893. It used to provide temporary accommodation for the Chen family people when they came to the provincial capital for official discussion, imperial examination or litigation. It has a magnificent artistic appeal, though our littlest girls thought it was pretty boring! It now houses a museum of various folk arts and handicrafts of the local province. It has things like ceramics, antique furniture, embroidery, carvings, etc.

Our girls weren't all that impressed with the art work, but we enjoyed it!
