Chongqing University on a dreary day, but still beautiful
Chongqing University on a dreary day, but still beautiful
Today I really didn't want to go out. The weather wasn't good, but my wife talked me into going to see the botanical gardens on the campus of Chongqing University. Chongqing Normal University which is across the street from our home has a lovely campus, and Sichuan Fine Arts Institute is around the corner and I had never seen such a beautifully forested campus with magnificent flowers and statues there, but todays tour was the most magnificent campus I've yet seen, and it is only 2 bus stops away, or a long walk if I were to feel like it. We spent most of our time in the botanical gardens on the campus, and although the sun didn't shine, here is a bit of what we saw.

Take a stroll with me, to somewhere I am sure you have never been.
Great series of photos Buzz.
Is this where they have the ''Canada'' sign?
In the third photo on the right is a map of the campus or just the gardens?
The "Canada" rock was located at one of the other university campuses (campi?).
A map of the botanical gardens only. It took hours to go through it.
