Wuxi China tour

Post by Stargeezer »

This is the buildings near the Giant Buddha statue at Wuxi China.
Massive building and beautiful inside. We all got to watch the Buddha statue being washed
and stayed until sundown. This part of the tour made it all worthwhile for me.

Giant Buddha at Wuxi China

Post by Stargeezer »

We traveled to Wuxi China in Jiangsu province north of Shanghai
Seeing the Giant Buddha statue and the surrounding grounds was
a big highlight of our tour. The statue is 88 meters tall made of bronze and
weighs over 700 tons.
I was very impressed

A Hotel room in China, and a few places

Post by Stargeezer »

During our Shanghai China and area tour, we got to stay one night in a fabulous
hotel, the room was a fancy suite, that I just had to get pictures of, Some pictures of a tea
plantation and our bus. This is a nice memory of the tour, and the tea was very
nice as well.
