Old-town Shanghai & eating at the famous steamed dumpling restaurant. It was so good we ate there two days in a row!

Ben in Shanghai: "Look, another lion statue!"

Views from our Shangai trip. We saw lots of people with sun umbrellas here.

This is the view you can see on the Chinese 20 RMB bill - Guilin mountains.

Sam gets a Chinese silk outfit, too!

Curves and detail.

We found out that Ben really loves statues. Wanted a pictures with every lion we saw.

One of Xi'an's pagodas.

Puddles magnetically attract kids, even in China...

Some "century old" eggs and delicious Xi'an special lamb soup dumplings.

Can you spot the foreigners? :) Walking the busy streets of Xi'an with Nicole and Brian.

The ancient army of terra cotta warriors at Xi'an.

Bikes everywhere! There were also bike taxis and bike "trucks" to move small loads.

Ben says it felt funny to hold this monkey & that it was cute. We were surprised he sat still for this one...

We thought the pointy hat itself was worth the picture!

Anyone for some snake wine? We passed on it.

The boat tour on the River Li from Guilin to Yangshuo through these pointy Karst mountains was unforgettable.

Is he stuck, or sunning himself?
