CHINA PART 2

Halfway through our 2nd visa now, and times a flying. Highlights have been the mausoleum and museum in Guangzhou - only discovered in the mid 80s, when builders were putting foundations in for a shopping complex. They came across a burial site now found to be a couple of thousand years old. Remains of the emperors servants were found in the room outside, and the emperors themselves were wrapped in Jade tile suits - I am sure these tombs will fade into insignificance after Xian's terracotta warriors, but for now they feel quite impressive.

The limestone karst scenery of Yangshuo concealed itself from us for a few days, but the rain stopped on our last afternoon, so we hired bikes and got out to see what everyone raves about, and quite rightly so.
