This street was the gold and silver market for a very long time. Now it sells very expensive jewellery and silks and lacquered furniture. Just around the corner from a Communist Party place with a long guarded drive and black expensive Audis with darkened windows driving out.
We were on the 4th and top floor and my room looks out on a courtyard with leafy trees. The bed was comfortable. Which is just as well, as I couldn't accompany my brother and sister-in-law on the Panda and Great Buddha trip. But I did dress up for the Chinese Opera. That was the best fun.
Although the skewers look delicious, the surroundings often don't. Nor did the toilet down the lane,according to my brother.
Like most cities, there is a contrast between the shops
And some of the workers.
Some things you would rather not see. These were in the front part of a fashion clothing shop. Yes, they are live baby tortoises.
