Just starting to break the surface on these photos...
the first full day I only brought my compact camera... but got some interesting shots...

Awesome Matt! I especially like the "glass" candy...that's too cool!

Interesting shots Matt...how was the weather?
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

Great! Thanks for posting! What were all the cities/regions you visited?

The weather was decent, kind of like how it would be here for spring... maybe a bit more wet in the mountains.
I started out in Chengdu, then to Guilin, then some mountain Terrace field (forgot the name), then Yangshuo, Youlong River, then Chengdu again.

Very cool, keep them coming! What was the wish card thing all about, was it an art display?
