Walking Around China


We were walking around when we came across the Peace Hotel, which is famous for it's architecture. It was currently closed for renovations. We found a way in and took a few pictures before we saw the sign that said "no pictures."  :) 

This is Nanjing Road, one of the main shopping streets in Shanghai


Apparently, one of the fun things to do in China is to dye a poodle's ears & tail. I had a hard time trying to get a picture without getting run down by people.


George Clooney.... He's in China too!

 This is the planing building, shows the detail of the city plans


This is the front of the People's Museum
 Here's the back

The People's museum was really interesting. It showed the progression of furniture, money, art, and calligraphy throughout China's History. Here's a pamplet on the Calligraphy that I thought was interesting.  Notice where their calligraphy started from? I think it actually made sense before they made it pretty! :)
