Old Town market

To get to the Yuyuan Gardens I went through the Old Town market. Distinctive ancient Chinese architecture makes this area incredibly picturesque. The crowds were lighter today. Most everyone is at a wedding or watching the Olympic opening ceremony. 22,000 Chinese couples got married today. Apparently 8 is a lucky number. Triple lucky today!

China

Blast off for China at 5 am Wednesday 8/6/08! cheers, Paul
