View from the bridge.


More memories of China-see previous post. A popular photo stop in the limestone karst country near Yangshuo, Giulin on a hot and very hazy day back in 2014.
Will I ever go to China again? Never say never but it seems unlikely.
Turn the clock back 20 years and there was an expectation that the growing prosperity of China would lead to it becoming an open, friendly society and a valued member of the community of nations. Sadly the pundits were wrong. Very wrong. China has become a more authoritarian, less open society-more belligerent and often openly dishonest in its dealings with its own citizens and other countries.
With so many friendly places to visit China is not on my 'must go again' list. Which is sad.
