Monument to the revolutionaries in People's Park.
Mandy has us try out some Chinese snacks. They were, um, interesting!

The dramatic light made for some very picturesque shots throughout the city streets.

Mandy checks out the souvenirs in the city. She actually got us both bracelets, to commemorate the visit!
