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

Tiptoe through the tulips


Amsterdam? Pinch me am I dreaming? Nope, I'm still in China! Well, that's what it felt like today when we ventured, not very far, infact, stayed in Yichang and even stayed in my part of town. An international flower exhibition that they somehow manage to keep running for something like 6 weeks.

It shows of their agricultural/horticultural skills and shows an amazingly impressive array of famous flowers from different parts of the world.




You could even wander around and check out the water grown vegetables and how the green houses work.

Very interesting, a really HUGE display of many different areas and a massive splash of colour to what can sometimes be a rather grey environment.



Like I said, you could easily be forgiven for thinking you'd somehow entered the twilight zone or teleported to another country...or even at least rocked up to some spectacular in a big Chinese city such as Shanghai or Beijing.
Well done, Yichang. What a breathe of fresh air.
