CHANGCHUN- JILIN
Hello from China!We had to come back to Jilin Province for the Capital Changchun. This is where the puppet Emperor Puyi spent his last years. Have you seen the movie the Last Emperor?
The Palace is really worth the visit. More like a Georgian period Manor. Us ladies and the men too I must say were very interested in the Emperor's private life. His wives, their life etc.etc.
Then on to the couch again for a drive and photo taking in the street where all the old buildings are now being used for Govt.office and a hospital.
Chungchun has spring weather through the year. Our local guide was persuading us to buy a property here for our holiday or retirement! Wonder if she is a part time housing agent?
Lunch was at a superb inn type restaurant. the walls were walled-papered with absolutely wonderful cartoons. Cartoons of county peasants and the army and of diners .Look out for the photos when uploaded.
