Welcome to Linda's and Garr's China pictures. |
|
|
| Apartments and vegetable gardens not far from Zhengzhou. |
| Another coal burning power plant, this one not too far from Zhengzhou. |
|
| Looking through the train window, passing over the Yellow River, also known as "China's Sorrow" because of frequent floods that have killed many people. |
| Street scene in Zhengzhou. |
|
| Big Macs in Zhengzhou. |
| Don't know what's going on here, but we liked the balloons. |
|
| Interesting building we passed in Zhengzhou. |
| Another view from the bus as we started to leave Zhengzhou for Luoyang (pronounced Loy-young). |
|
| As we left Zhengzhou we passed this airplane, minus the ends of its wings, sitting in a field. We had no idea why it was there. |
| Crops growing just west of Zhengzhou. |
|
| Going west out of Zhengzhou by bus, we passed cattle, the ubiquitous blue and white signs, and apartments. |
| Another brick factory, with piles of bricks and the kilns in which they are baked. We saw lots of these in China. |
|
| Another view of the same brick factory. |
| Decorations at a grave site. You can see shops selling such decorations here and here. |
|
| Dwellings cut into the hillside. |
| Graves on the hill going from Zhengzhou to Luoyang. |
|
| Hillside caves and more young trees. |
| A pretty view from the bus window of a small town. |
|
| Wheat fields and ancient burial mounds with edges neatly trimmed to provide more space for the wheat. |
| Fan dancers practicing in Peony Square, a park one large block across and many blocks long, in downtown Luoyang. The peony is the city flower. Peony Square is in front of our hotel, the New Friendship Hotel. The Old Friendship Hotel, next door, was built by the Russians and has a nice restaurant, where we ate dinner one evening. |
|
| Tai ji on Peony square. |
| Movements executed while holding a sword. |
|
| A man practices his caligraphy with water and a brush at Peony Square in Luoyang. |
| Another man practices his caligraphy; the water is left to dry and disappear. |
