Went for lunch on our own today at a proper Chinese restaurant, managed to order dumplings, noodles and beer (menu had pictures and English ha ha) very nice.After lunch we found our way to the only piece of traditional Chinese architecture we have seen in Dongguan see Left.
This tower is on top of a hill, 347 steps to base of tower and 137 steps to the top the view is good although it was hazy today, you can see from the pictures that the city spreads out to the horizon. The stairs are very steep and the lintels very low so you have to be careful.
The picture (right) is a view from the top, the tall building in the distance is the new hotel close to where we are living.
Left is another view from the top.
Left is another view from the top.Made a change to do something different today, I had not noticed this building before. Going out for dinner tonight.
Back soon, hope you like the pics.

That tower looks amazing.Glad it was you and not me climbing to the top,I would be shouting "stay away from the edge"!
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take you to get to the top?
Something different to do anyway.
Was anyone else climbing it?
Hi Neil
ReplyDeleteVery impressed with the pictures. The mountains in the background, what are they and where? Suprised to see how big and spread out the area is, the weather looked OK too. Here it is wet and windy, but not cold.
Enjoyed our meal Friday, missed your input!
Take care.
