Today was our last day in mainland China. It's been a full time touring and very impressive. We started with a tour of the Tomb of Nanyue King which was discovered in the 1980's during a construction project. The tomb dates back to 220bc and represents one of the best preserved finds of its kind.
We then moved to the Five Goats monument which was the symbol of Guangzhou. It was replaced by the Canton Tower which is the new symbol.
Lunch at Dongfang Hotel was the best meal of the tour so far. It was full of flavor and included lots of veggies!
We said our goodbyes to our guide, Julin and we cleared the passport control without incident. It was a two hour train ride through the countryside to Kowloon, Hong Kong. There were literally hundreds of high rise apartment buildings along the way along with very green scenery. Patrick, our HK bus C guide, met us with a smile, and he distributed room keys for the Grand Stanford hotel which made the checkin go much smoother.
After checking in we wandered out to find some non Chinese food and pizza at the Pizza Express filled the bill! Once again we were in the hustle and bustle of HK before retiring for the night.
We now have two more days of touring Hong Kong before flying home.
