On Monday with Nanchang's new city in the background.
On Monday Evelyn brought us to this pavilion which is considered the symbol of Nanchang. The city itself is more than 2000 years old and this pavilion was originally built by a prince around the year 600. He used it to pursue his interest in art and music, which was not valued by the emperor - that is why the prince was placed in what was a remote area at the time. Now the pavilion is one of the most famous historical buildings in this part of the country.
The day was overcast, so it was hard to get a good photo, especially using my phone.

This part of Nanchang is the new part of the city. The photo only shows a portion of the new buildings. All of this has been constructed in the past 11 years. The amount of development here is incredible. Our hotel is only 2 years old and crews are demolishing areas around here for more new construction.
Just got back from a swim at the pool in the hotel. There is a requirement that everyone in the pool wear a swim cap. No requirement it be so adorable. Stacey and I did not look adorable, more like coneheads. Anyway, both of the girls seemed to really enjoy the experience. Mei was kicking her legs together like a mermaid.
