China Trip – Suzhou And On To Shanghai, 21 November 1993

Master Of The Nets

21st. Suzhou -> Shanghai. Went to Master Of the Nets Garden – very beautiful.

-> Embroidery Factory -> Water Gate and on to street market (Portobello style)…

I think we were advised/asked not to take photographs in that street market – it would be unheard of for Janie to resist taking pictures in a market otherwise.

Lunch -> sandalwood factory (fan making) with amazing solder artist…

…climbed pagoda…

We both felt the need to provide photographic evidence of the pagoda and the fact that we had climbed it.

-> railway station, train to Shanghai -> straight to dinner -> hotel -> Peace Hotel for Jazz Evening.

The Jazz evening was good fun. I’m not sure whether the loud-looking redhead is Katherine, but I did give an award to a couple named Matthew and Katherine:

The Richard Branson Award for extrovert behaviour.

All the photos we took on that day – by which I mean all 46 photos – can be seen in raw form in the Flickr album below:
