CHINA 2010 MONDAY 6th SEPTEMBER

The hot weather has returned again and we spent the afternoon at home as Keith’s legs still ached from our hectic weekend and I fell asleep whilst reading about Tan Kah Kee!
We cannot go a day without a walk so as the evening reflections have been lovely around ‘Yundang Lake’, especially the few last days as we have had no wind, we took a stroll there. A keen photographer had already set his tripod in place by the corner of the lake looking over to ‘Bailuzhou Island’ and illuminated buildings such as ‘Pearl Orient Sightseeing Tower’ and ‘Marco Polo Hotel’ overlooking the lake on the left side so we moved a little further along to the sound of ladies singing in the distance. As we watched we saw lights flashing on the island and realised for once something was actually taking place in the amphitheatre. The music continued but we wouldn’t want to listen to the singing for so long. As we were about to leave purple searchlights passed along the sides of buildings in the area and at pavement level bright blue lights flashed a reflection on the still lake.
