A Chinese Experience

Thought I'd share some of our experiences in China. Plenty of walking, looking at temples, walking, eating, looking at city walls, and more walking. Visited a few markets but never enough time to take them all in.


















The group in the foyer of Amity Press after seeing through the factory where the Bibles are printed. A very big and impressive place. Our lunch at Amity Press on the right with a bowl of rice.

Subway lunch at the Great Wall. Took a chair lift up and down to the Wall and some tobogganed back down again. Fantastic views but uneven walking up and down along the Wall. kept us puffing.


Met some interesting characters along the way.












Enjoyed (mostly) a variety of chinese food. This meal (left) we cooked our egg, meat,veggies & noodles in our own hot pots at the table with a dish of sauce to flavour. The other was a typical layout with the table usually having more dishes added later and the usual pot of green tea.
The highlight of the tour was visiting the 2 country churches and giving out the Bibles for them to distribute to needy people. They were so appreciative and it was quite a moving time for us all. This is the group singing a welcome as the bus pulled up and walked into the church and then again as we left.






















































Meeting the Peking Duck - the dinner & show was good.
