Perhaps ...Francisca -- Thanks for visiting my blog. Perhaps I should have been more specific. Seriously, Old Shanghai was the only place I was IN a crowd. There were a lot of people at the Wall, but I didn't try to climb it; there were lots of people at the Forbidden City, but not really elbow-to-elbow. I know, because I didn't want to go to China because crowds make me very claustrophobic. However, it is likely Viking River Tours did not let our tour groups get into the kind of urban crowds you mention. I knew such crowds existed, and almost refused to go. Fortunately, the airport was almost empty when we arrived in Beijing, and I only had trouble in Shanghai.<br />--KKay L.

Beautiful photos, but I'm especially fascinated by the lotus seeds. I also looked up their medicinal uses and think they sound interesting to "alleviate restlessness, palpitations, and insomnia."<br /><br />Your pictures are wonderful. I always look forward to them.<br /><br />Kay,<br />AlbertaKay L. Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966266404058177742noreply@blogger.com
