Guangzhou, China

We departed Hong Kong on a high speed ferry for Guangzhou, China. The sky had cleared up a little and on the ferry we got to see what Hong Kong actually looked like for the first time. The ferry to Guangzhou was a little under two hours. Guangzhou, as we learned is the third largest economy in China, after Shanghai and Beijing.

From the ferry terminal we took our bus to the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum and Chen's Ancestral Hall. The GFAMACAH is a walled complex with a bunch of pagodas and large rooms. Most of the rooms had artwork, some new some old. None of the rooms had heat. In one of the room was a painter who used only his hands and fingers to paint. Totally unique, we got one of his paintings. Another room had an embroidery exhibit with really neat artwork.

After the stop at the hall/folk art museum we went to the airport and headed out to Hangzhou. Kind of a weird day. We're still confused by our tour company's logistics.
