Guangzhou

Yesterday was busy here in Guangzhou, so we stayed around the hotel.  Today, a group of us ventured into Guangzhou to sightsee and shop.  We walked through the medical market and the pet market to get to the mall.  We saw some interesting things.

snakes

sea horses

small scorpions for soup

large scorpions for soup

this stand had a better aroma (due to the rose buds)

We thought of our nephew, Gabe, at this stand.  There were several varieties of turtles.

Beijing Road - popular shopping street

The Pearl Market.  The pearls that they sell here are actually found in a river from Lilly's province.

Dave went back to Beijing Road this evening to see it all lit up.  It's like a smaller version of Times Square.
