Changsha, Hunan Province

A couple of weekends ago we made it to the capital of Hunan Province (2 provinces west from Fujian).


Here is Roger outside the Hunan Provincial Museum. Its section on the wonderfully preserved contents of a 3000 year old tomb was compelling.

We undertook a favourite Chinese pastime; 'climbing a mountain' at Yuelu Park.
The red pavilion, overlooking a lovely still pond (with gold fish), is said a place the young Mao Zedong discussed politics with his friends. The circular gate way is part of the monastery in the park,and the tile detail from Yuelu Academy.
