Liuzhou China, 2003-4
Guangxi University of Technology Teaching Tour
|
Let me share some pictures and information with you
|
|
Welcome to the Language Department trip to Huachi Hot Springs in Honor of Womens Day.
|
|
|
Along the way we crossed many of these small farming villages.
|
These kind of farm tractors were found everywhere.
|
Unfortunately we came across an accident where that was a "hit and run" after hitting a farm cart and ox. Mr Nong became our Chief Inspector.
|
Mr Nong then had a meeting with his "Investigation Team" to discuss what to do next, while Mr Huang provides further information.
|
We had to make a stop to stretch our legs at Xiangzhou the county seat. LiangShuJie, ZhangJing and LiXueFeng wanted to see this mrmorial tower before leaving.
|
YangMei was interested as I in these older folks who had gathered at the momorial tower to play. I notice there small groups gather in many places to play old chinese instruments.
|
This is ChenYaoDong's home town of Xiangzhou and he was proud to show me (along with some curious boys) this ancient gate from the Qin dynasty from around 100-250 BC and still stands after all these years.
|
And there was a local ole gentleman who had all the wonderful stories since he knew all the stories. No he is not as old as the gate.
|
Several of our teachers were also interested in the old gate.
|
This is now a library for children, but it was originally an old house for a rich man.
|
Of course we have to have lunch before traveling further.
|
|
|
ChenYaoDong is so busy reading his paper, he has lost track of where he is going.
|
WuZuBing (ChenYaoDong's wife) sure notices a problem. Does our leader know where we are going?".
|
We are headed to a hill side part where people gather and picnic
|
Gathering with family and relaxing is a great pass time anywhere in the world.
|
My Chinese lady friends always enjoy their picture being taken. Especially amoung the flowers.
|
Well, we reached the top of the mountain. These are old rocks and I never understood the story, but they are sharp on the hands to climb.
|
A little "vending" for your enjoyment, glad I did not have to "lug" this up the hill.
|
At the entrance of the park, they were loading some sugar cane for the market. Guess who the boss is?
|
We finally made it to the Huachi hot spring, sure is warm water.
|
It is customary to bring eggs to cook in the hot springs.
|
Ohhhhhh this sure feels good, this is what we came to experience.
|
Hey, how did that "spy" with the glasses get in here? Oh, that is the Vice Dean, HuangJiangSheng.
|
|
Oh, yes sir, we did not know we had to buy a ticket, we will get right out, please do not call the police. Mr Huang, this means you also.
|
What can be said about our leader? HuangJin earned a nap.
|
SuYu and everyone had a tiring day.
