Great photos, Buzz.

I wasn't aware that one of the Blue Jays retired in China.

No, Kavika, THIS is the one who retired in China, so long ago he became calcified:

You should number your sets, Buzz. If you use seed titles that are too similar, we'll miss some, and that would be a shame.

The valley was stunning. Just like the paintings.

The titles are different, as are the photos used on the front page notices.

As I said when I first saw them, I preferred your photos of the Li River and Karst Mountains to mine.

I am a big an of the Karst Mountains and Li River renderings.

It looks to me as though those renderings are giving insight to a unique geological history of the region.

This linked web site explains how they were formed. 

I previously posted an article about my cruise down the river through those mountains.  I also explored the Reed Flute Cave (referred to in that article) and have photos of it as well.

Buzz, all the pictures are great. I have a couple question about #4.

1. What story is the mural telling us?

2. What is the difference between an autonomous region and a province in China?

Then, for #6 I need some help. Am I missing somethings or do I need better reading glasses? I don't see the peacocks.

Thank you again.

1.  Someone else asked me that when I had posted that photo previously.  Answer?  I have no idea.

2.  Autonomous region  is essentially the same as a  province , just that the majority ethnic group is not Han  Chinese . In any case, the Party Chair from that  region  still holds the highest position in the  region .  The Party Chair is normally Han, which is the largest ethnic group in China, far outnumbering all other ethnic groups combined.

I've replaced the picture with one that is clearer.  Look to the far right and you will see this structure:

It's a building, not a statue, so I have also corrected the description.

RE: Image "8."

May Joe Carter remain there in perpetuity!

Otherwise, my TWO YEN!

Well, the image "8" is not of Joe, who STILL gets people talking to him about that fantastic home run that I had the privilege to actually witness live. It's Lord Bao, who was a previous potentate in Kaifeng.

Thanks for posting that restored photo.  Li was an important personage in China who toured the USA in 1896. It's interesting to note that the parade in your photo took place three years after Li's death. Although he was a controversial figure in China, apparently he was appreciated in the US, if for no other reason than perhaps for his advocating reform of America's 'Chinese Exclusion Act' that limited Chinese immigration.

Much about him is posted by Wikipedia:

You will be able to learn there that he did NOT invent the American "Chinese" dish, chop suey (which I have never seen here in China).
