Sight Seeing August 29, 2012

We needed to wait for the passport for Kylie. This gives us 2 days for sight seeing. We went to a very old building in Chongqing that has been excavated for artifacts that had been hidden in the floor during the cultural revolution.



This wooden carving done 400 years ago was done on a log 3,000 years old.

 

 

These water containers are also 300 years old and are in front of the rooms in case of fire.

 

These 400 year old carved beams were a part of the original support of the structure

            These 400 years old scrolls were buried in the floor of this building for 60 years.
                                                           

Our next stop was the zoo to see the pandas. It was plenty Hot! Very few animals were out.

 

 

 

 

The Last stop was lunch at a local chinese food house.
