China: Wuhan and Suzhou
This Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan displayed artifacts from the Tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng.
This is a aerial photo of the tomb's excavation.
The Marquis Yi enjoyed music and had these bells installed in his tomb for the afterlife.
Chimes for music in the afterlife.
Typical guard garb in 433 BC.
Dragon phoenix pendant ornament.
Attack!
Fancy drum.
Suzhou's Master of the Net's Garden dates back to 1140.
Nice view through the window.
Pond and reflection.
We believe this is a tulip magnolia tree in blossom.
Suzhou is known as the Venice of China.  We started our canal cruise here.
Rock walls and bridges were common along our cruise.
Just like Venice except for the hanging red lanterns.
People live along the canals raising vegetables & doing laundry.
