Next stop: Gualin

We next flew to Gualin, in the southern part of China and a beautiful city in an area with many tourists from China. It was warmer that Beijing and no rain, so we were happy. It has many lakes and canals, the Twin towers are famous. We saw many cute school children throughout China, whenever possible they would practice their English on us. When they discovered Anna could speak Mandarin they were really attached. Anna was popular with many older male Chinese tourists and with teenagers and young women. They often stopped her for pictures. Limestone mountains, often green covered, are found in this area. They may have been the inspiration for the Dr. Seuss mountains.
