That morning we were able to sleep in if we wanted. Breakfast was at the normal time. The The Four of us went to get my families pearls. That was a long AM--it took us and hour and half to get the price down. We were lat getting back to the hotel and the group left us. Vince, the tour guide, left waited for us and took us to meet up with the group at Buddha Hill. Everything at the hill was carved into the stone. Yes, we saw a "happy Buddha"-I had my picture taken with him. After that we went to the location of prince office. We the saw the walkways were the princes and princesses walked. We saw the unique drawings/carvings on the stairway.-they were similar to the ones at the Forbidden City. We saw a cultural dance and scrolls within the office. The tree of Yin and Yang (2 trees that merged into one), a well, and the mountain that overlooked all of Guilin with the palace of Longevity on top. I thought the palace looked more like a hut..but whatever.
A)Buddha cave, it showed their dedication to religion. Prince Palace provided a glimpse of the princes duties-which we were directly under the emperor.
B)Buddha Cave-it shows hows the culture ties individual uniqueness into all their work. Guilin is made and known for it stone.
C)I think it shows that they (the chinese) place their religion above all things, like we do for the most part in the states.
D)It made me respect the beauty of Chinese Culture even more.
