London Calling

I’ve gone back to flickr and am posting a photo or two I took while in Chongqing last summer. Chongqing did experience some damage, but not as much as Chengdu from what I understand.

Technically, actually, Chongqing is no longer part of the provice of Szechuan, as several years ago it was changed to an autonomous zone and administered by the central government. But it is a traditional part of Szechuan province and regarded as part of Szechuan culture.

Here’s a couple of photos from the center:

Technically, I think this temple resides in the Chongqing region, though it is about 24 hours down the Yangtze river…

Downtown, on the way to the Yangtze River ship…

Here’s the Chongqing municipal building juxtaposed with Kentucky Fried Chicken…

Walking with the tour group back to the bus after shopping (everyone else was Chinese American so I tended to stand out like a sour thumb, even after remembering my blend-in-with-China skills)…
