More Photos from the Bus Window...

 Gentle Reader,

Here are some more sights, most captured from the bus window.  There was extensive pollution, and you can see many folks wearing protective masks.  Several people on the tour also wore the masks.

Many of these photos show a variety of housing, as well as the construction projects everywhere.

I especially liked the colorful new housing...

Namaste,
Marianne

 These stretches of greenhouses were a very common sight.  We were not sure what crops were growing in these this time of year...

I never, ever felt like I was in any sort of police state when in China.  Always felt very safe.  Occasionally, we would see cardboard figures like this...

 Beautiful displays of flowers, which were typically given to our soloists at each concert...

 A typical gas station in China...
These are regulated by the government.

 More signs of construction...
