Nanchang Tuesday
















Tuesday morning we went to the People's Park in the heart of Nanchang. It is Nanchang's version of Central Park.










Some little tidbits: Nanchang is no small city, although by Chinese standards it is. Nanchang is 1.2 million people. It was founded in 200 BC. It is also an important city in Mao's Cultural Revolution.










1.2 million, for Wisconsinites, is more than just about all the major cities in Wisconsin added together.










Here's pictures from the park. One of the pictures is of me moving a chess piece from a life sized Chinese chess board in the middle of the park.

The parks in China are so beautiful! We went to nice ones in each city we were in. We enjoyed our time in Audrey's province as it seems you are enjoying Nathanael's province. It is nicer to be in a "small" city I think rather than HUGE Beijing or Gaungzhou (although we enjoyed those too). God's blessings to you three!
