Welcome to Linda's and Garr's China pictures. |

| Carol, in the lobby of one of our hotels, possibly the one in Wuhan. |
| No idea what this is or where it is. |
|
| Figures in a gift shop. |
| Lake in Wuhan, by the hotel I think. |
|

| Playing field at the university where we went to the Tea and Rice Institute in Changsha. At the institute we listened to a couple of talks and students then gave a demonstration of a Taiwanese Tea Ceremony. We got to sample the tea afterward. It was the best Garr has ever tasted. |
| University gate seen as we left the Tea and Rice Institute in Changsha. |
|
| Family walking past garden in Changsha as we rode the bus to our hotel. |
| Chinese gas stations are often quite large, as is this one. |
|
| There are very many small businesses all over China. Many of them are housed in one, or sometimes a couple, rooms with roll down steel doors, as this hardware store here in Changsha illustrates. |
| A side street we passed on the way to our hotel. |
