Mick Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Great photo, Randy. That tree is really impressive and reminds me of several trees I saw at Six Banyans Temple in the heart of Guangzhou. Looking forward to more pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I liked Huangyao; have no clue whether that is a "famous" tree or just a cool one. Regardless, it is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy W Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Looks like I even nailed the spot where the cameraman was standing (for "The Painted Veil" movie shot from 2006) The shot here is from the movie Okay so I still haven't posted the pictures from our room. I took around 1500 pictures, so maybe I'll get to them shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy W Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Nice photos and it looks like an old city. Still waiting to see the room. We're almost there, Mick. Hang loose just a little bit longer. I'm trying to download some MONEY right now - "living expenses" apparently isn't a specific enough reason any more for some reason.

Randy W Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 There's a LOT to see around Hezhou, Yangshuo, and Huangyao - we intend to go back soon. I declined the trip shortly before going into the hospital - now we have to wait for the summer weather to cool off, and for a convenient break in my wife's building construction. A nice little trip after all the money we're throwing at the building. I'm hoping we can stay at the Secret Garden Hotel in Jiuxian near Yangshuo - http://www.yangshuosecretgarden.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
