Much like previous days, we enjoyed breakfast in the hotel. Our first stop was to visit the Chen family temple. Chen is a very famous family name here and this temple is to commemorate the ancestors.
We then went to the Dr. Sun Yat Sen memorial hall with its beautiful flowers and grounds. Lots of locals were there. As the founder of modern China, he's very much their equivalent of America's George Washington.
We then had another outstanding 9 course Cantonese lunch at the YiFeng Hotel. Afterwards our coach dropped us off at the Qing spice market where we strolled through it. Since there was some free time before dinner we elected to walk around the entire island the hotel is located on.
Dinner was on a scenic cruise on the Pearl River which divides Guangzhou and is China's third largest river. Many of the commercial buildings were decoratively lit up as was the Canton tower.
Tomorrow is our last day in Guangzhou and it should be eventful. We do some touring, have lunch, and then take the train to Hong Kong. Dinner will be on our own; mabe it's time for a McDonald's.
