The wise words of Lao Tsu

*This too will pass * When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be * When you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to * Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage

Yiling Square Fountain


I was in "Yiling Square" on Saturday. The weather was stunning and I sat for a while with my Chinese book trying to learn this language which seems equivalent to walking the length of "The Great Wall". I sat with the women doing their knitting and the people playing their card games and even the young couples cleaning each others ears out with ear spoons :-)
Here in Yichang, Yiling Square is a great place to just hang and watch all the different activities that Chinese people like to do. Of an evening, it is full with people dancing, mornings many people exercise there and in general anytime you will find kids playing, skating or whatever the fad game happens to be at the current time. It also has a wonderful fountain that (I think) only goes a couple of times a day on Saturdays (for about 20 minutes)I'm never sure what time of the day and although I've seen it in it's full glory a few times now, I've don't think I've ever had my camera with me at the time and taken pictures of it, but on Saturday I did :-)
Here's some photos for you.

So much excitement with the kids and after it's finished they all love to play where it was spurting ferociously just a minute before.


Here's a short video!
