Peng Da Hotel

Guangdong Museum of Art Exhibitions

by Guantanamera

In addition to their permanent collection, the Guangdong Museum of Art also offers temporary exhibitions as well... When I was there, the museum had an excellent show of large scale photography by esteemed German filmmaker Wim Wenders, spanning at least three different decades from Wenders' career... This particular piece in the image shown here is from Wenders' time in the United States and depicts a room inside an old American hotel that had been closed down for many years but left untouched, including all the empty furniture and the old-fashioned red Coca-Cola machine and landscape painting at center...

Six Banyan Pagoda (Liu Rong Ta)

by Confucius

Guangzhou is more famous for food than sightseeing but if you are a pagoda fan then you need to make a pilgrimage to this temple.
The 10 yuan ticket is an extra charge if you wish to climb the stairs to the top. (Regular admission is 1 yuan.)
It is not easy to take pictures of this pagoda, but I'll include my usual "looking up" photos in a travelogue below.

Qinxin Hot Spring - Guangzhou

"Revealing China..."

Feb 17 2003, I am all excited about this china trip but at the same time worrried. Why? Because its the day when Straits Times had a full page of report saying Guangzhou is the place where SARS originated. I was actually thinking if I should take the risk and go..? I made the decision to go ahead , not only because I need to present the company's strategic plan for my division but also I was thinking that ...life is about taking risk right ? So long as we take calculated risk I am sure things will be ok... furher more we are going to be in the resort for the full 5 days... and not going anywhere crowded...

Glad I went ahead with the trip and had lots of fun with my HK, Beijing , Sg and Malaysia colleagues.
