I like this challenge so I’m adding a post.

Another day, another adventure since I’ve got a friend visiting from the U.S. We went to Jinan‘s Thousand Buddha Mountain, a lovely park/sacred site. Afterwards we went on to Shandong Elite Teahouse. très elegant and soothing.

Textiles

Kristyn and I went to the Shandong Provincial Museum today. It’s free if you bring your passport and the collection is excellent.

A good place to spend a chilly, gray day. It wasn’t too crowded, yet there were lots of other people of all ages  so it doesn’t feel like a tomb.

Bronze

Painting

There are some English translations of the signs so you’ll learn a bit about prehistoric cultures, Prince Lu, Confucius and more.
