Yangshou - New Century Hotel

Heaven!

New Century Hotel Suzhou

Suzhou's New Century Hotel...bliss!

Culture Plaza Hotel Hangzhou


Ooh and scales too!

Our hotel in Kunming

Jin Jiang Hotel - Before you get the wrong impression, on the whole the loos were perfectly adequate and manageable. Our hotel bathrooms were good; there are no complaints. It is, therefore, important that I post some images of the hotel bathrooms that we enjoyed during our tour of China starting with this one in Kunming.

Yangshou - private home

We had the privilege of visiting a private home which also afforded us the opportunity to wander about freely. Although their loo was basic it was clean and well-kept. Although they live a simple life they appeared happy and content in their own surroundings. The home owners were gentle, kind and it was a delight to be in their company. They were proud of their home and happy to invite us into their world. It made me stop and think about 'westerners', their desire for material possessions, their obsession to have the very best, to impress... We could learn much from these humble but charming folk.

Great Wall Loos - Mens

Sneak peak at the Men's I was told by a friend that I should also include a photo of the men's loos on the great wall...here it is folks! Recommend you do what you have to do before you're half way up the wall and in desperate need to go!

Beijing Olympic City

Beijing Olympic City: I'm not sure if these are this is the regular offering for the public or additional conveniences for the masses?
