Exploring Gaungzhou

About 2 miles of the street was lined with wedding shops.  The dresses were very interesting.  Some white, but you would see many bright pink, red, and yellow dresses too.

Workout area along the street.
Temple
Painting on the wall inside the temple
Inside the temple

Flower Market
This would cost about $20 US dollars.


You also see arrangements with stuffed animals.  Not sure why, but there were many of them. 


These little alley ways are very common.







Shopping area.  You could find anything you would ever need here.


Tons of mushrooms!!


Mushroom Market.  Mushrooms lined the street for blocks.

Grandview Shopping Mall .  
7 floors of stores and restaurants.  Anything you could need.  It had about 4 different wings.  Would take a week to shop around in this mall. 

Walked out of the mall to this.  A riot/protest.  There was some dispute between Japan and China.  Not quite sure, but it was an experience to see.



Police Officers.  

Construction workers and bamboo ladders.


Because of the riot, many of the roads were blocked .  The streets were madness.  We weren't able to take the bus back home, so the metro was our alternate route.  Luckily we found some really helpful people who helped us find our way back home.  The metro was packed.  You couldn't even move and you had to fight to get onto the train.
