Guangzhou

I've been in Guangzhou for about 24 hours and 12 of those were sleeping. But now I have been to two museums, the Guandong Museum of Art and the Guangzhou Museum. The first had some really amazing modern carved jade by a great artist but I guess it was just over my head. I can't think of anything to say about it. I've never seen anything like it before. What I can talk about is the sculpture garden outside. It included some heroic worker stuff but also some very thought-provoking pieces.

At the Guangzhou Museum I saw some beautiful carved jade, porcelain and bronze pieces. There was a whole room devoted to ink stone which I had never heard of before.

Fun but exhausting. Time to get some more sleep.
