Scenic Shaoxing





Hi back again ... Youknow that Shaoxing is built on many canals. In fact there are more canals here in the Shaoxing/KeQiao area than in Suzhou. And Suzhou is world famous for being the "Venice of the east". Anyway we went on a canla ride around the city twice .. once by day and then again by night. I will let the picture talk for themselves. But this is a very prosperous part of china. Zhejiang province (where we are) and Guandong province (Guanzhou) are the 2 wealthiest provinces in all of China. there are ots of BMW, Merc's, Lexus and Audi's to be seen on the streets here.

So I hope some of the pictures reflect the up market apartments on the canals. See what you think.
