An ongoing topic -- click here for most recent post The Hong Kong/Macau entry permit is now a card, good for 10 years. It is "charged" per visit, good for one year. We'll be taking a trip to Zhuhai in a few days while the concrete dries in her building. We can cross into Macau from there, but only one entry for her.

An ongoing topic - click here for Most Recent Post SCMP - How time-lapse film showing Hong Kong's stunning beauty came to be made Francis So was inspired to try time-lapse photography by a video of New Zealand scenery.

Another nice new little park in the Yulin area - this one is in between Yulin and Beiliu, an easy day (or afternoon) drive for us. With a nice new forest already planted - it's still under construction . . . and some NICE views

Not sure why this would be a "shock", but here it is from the People's Daily. Still, it's interesting to hear about "other" parts of the Great Wall, some of which out west had long ago just about faded into sand dunes, and other parts which are underwater. Report on vanishing Great Wall shocks the country These are from other sources -

An ongoing topic - click here for Most Recent Post previous topic - I Call it 'Hot Dog and Lychee Day' The summer solstice is an occasion for many in Yulin to celebrate with lychee wine - and dog meat. The festival is still going on, although protestors have been trying to shut it down for years. I have some pictures from past years of dog carcasses displayed for eating along the street, but the activities have gone increasingly underground - the only thing I've seen in the past two years have been tables set up at sidewalk restaurants in preparation for an evening meal.

In Guangzhou. Just one of the turntables on top of the cabinet in front there would have busted my audio budget more than 10 times over

Guangzhou is now my favorite of the three largest cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou). Some very beautiful settings, good food, and excellent shopping - a lot of crap to wade through, but some more down-to-earth, nuts and bolts & wholesale shopping than I found in either Beijing or Shanghai. Shamian Island is separated from the rest of Guangzhou by this little moat, which looks more like something you wouldn't want to step into than even consider swimming in.

珠江 = Zhujiang = Pearl River Doug's pictures and write-up are here - Preliminarily Approved, CCP Overcome, CITIC, CGI Stanley, UID number The cab drivers were ALL over reminding my wife to buckle her seat belt while riding in the front - there is a ¥200 fine in effect. Even so, the subway will take you just about anywhere you want to go - more on that in another topic. We took a dry run on Sunday afternoon before my appointment on Monday for a passport renewal - to make sure we could get there, and to also take a walk around the Flower City Square (WELL worth the trip in itself). This is the view of the consulate from the B1 exit of the Zhujiang New Town subway station - either Line 3 or Line 5 will get you there. A view to the west down Huali Ave., on the North side of the compound. There are several restaurants and coffee shops - and the Yang's hotel - within a couple of blocks this way. A couple of the restaurants have already closed, but others are apparently doing well. The kiosk on the right will keep your "valuables" for you if you forget to leave your cell phone, camera, etc., back at the hotel. The smallish building in front is for security checks only - the larger building behind it is the "Great Hall", where all the processing takes place. These are the only two buildings really visible from the street - the others are behind a fairly massive wall.

There was a group of photographers in the park yesterday, along with the usual wedding photographers. They apparently take day trips around Yulin for picture taking. They have a few models with them this time. I felt a little out-gunned with only my little pocket Panasonic camera with me. a little impromptu front-end alignment

The CFL board software allows members to share pictures with others in two ways: 1) the CFL Gallery allows members to post pictures which may be of interest to others. The Gallery has a link on the top of every page, or click here - Gallery Instructions on how to upload pictures to the Gallery are in the thread How to Upload Pictures to the CFL Gallery 2) Images may be incorporated into posts. The image must have a URL, that is, it must already be on the Internet somewhere (NOT on your hard drive), including those which are in the CFL Gallery. Instructions on how to post pictures are in the thread How to Post Pictures on Candle . A third type of picture which may be uploaded is the AVATAR, the thumbnail-sized picture which accompanies each of your posts on CFL.

This is a tutorial for those who may be technically challenged or intimidated when attempting to incorporate pictures into a post. This tutorial assumes that the picture is already on the Internet, NOT on your hard drive - it must first be uploaded, either to the CFL Gallery (see How to Upload Pictures to the CFL Gallery), or to a picture uploading site, such as http://tinypic.com/, or http://s1232.photobucket.com/, or even Facebook. Follow the instructions on those sites if you wish to upload your photos there. NOTE (7/14/2017) - Photobucket no longer allows 3rd party hosting. https://imgsafe.org/is a good alternative NOTE 2019 - Photobucket again supports 3rd party hosting, but watermarked for their free accounts The first thing to do is to find the picture on the Internet with your browser. If it's in the CFL Gallery, you can click on the image to get a larger version.

The other day, I went off on my bicycle in search of a little area near Yulin labeled on Google maps as 古城(Ancient City). The entire trip was about 32 km, and took around 3 hours. https://www.google.com/maps/@22.6500242,110.2406644,14z?hl=en

This area to the east of town looks very interesting, with lots of little roads and villages to explore

We started out from Nanning. First we tried the ferry, on County Road X005. It was closed for the duration - hadn't been operational in a while. Then we tried County Road X013 Little gates like this one are common in China - it is wide enough by a few inches to pass through without having to fold the mirrors.

This was our trip to the Yulong River, a small tributary of the Lijiang, near Yangshuo. This is where the boats start from, most heading South for a one-way trip downriver. We headed North for a round trip to the Yulong River bridge. Jiaying got us on an economy tour - a boat that looked like it would barely stay afloat for only ¥130, instead of the ¥200 that most people paid.
