I spent much of the Chinese New Year on a train and a bus, and the last day of the New Years was spent in Zhenyuan. This town had a lot of historical significance during the second world war. We stopped by a few historical places.
Zhang Kaishek... Let's not say anything about this guy. My Chinese friends don't say very nice things about him.
These buildings next to the river... it's pretty beautiful. Most of the rivers and lakes in China, that I've seen, have this green color to it. They're not like the rivers and lakes in Minnesota at all, but they're pretty anyways.
Some snack we had.
We had to cross rivers...
Just an interesting picture.
He said... 'to help hold up the rock' and handed me a stick. It was pretty hilarious.
It was raining from the rocks.
Dragon Pool?
This is supposed to be the dragon pool. They say it's supposed to be more than 300 meters deep and the water comes from underground. Unfortunately, there wasn't a dragon, but it was still quite beautiful.
Next to the Dragon Pool, we saw this. Quite sad to see such beautiful creatures killed.
These fish and crabs came from the streams in the area.
This lady was a Miaozu, she and her son were selling a bunch of stuff next to the dragon pool. They were the only ones around.
My lunch. Fish from the Dragon Pool's waters.
We got back to the room after a long walk with a broken bike. Quite the view we got outside our window.
I've never had a bowl of noodles as good as this.
We climbed up the side of the mountain to view the city from the top. It was quite the workout, I was sweating buckets.
It was beautiful, everyone was eating and just having a good time. There were a few Lanterns flying in the sky and lotus candles floating in the river (sadly I couldn't get a good shot at them).
