I took a few panoramic pictures out on our patio at the apartment. Interestingly, the second, shorter photo shows much of the same image as the picture I sent the other day, but you would never know it since the mountains are covered by fog/pollution.

While travelling to Yuhuan, we stopped in Hangzhou (made famous as the place where Nixon stayed when he was the first president to visit Communist China). They have a market there that is pretty cool.
A temple in the market.
A lion. These normally flank hotels, shops, etc. They are supposed to give luck to the owners.
All of the following were taken at one shop. Some of the most amazing carving I have seen in my life. The statue in the first photo can be yours for the low, low price of $100,000.
I think the table is almost as cool as the statues. It must be 10 feet long and it all one piece of wood.
