Leshan Giant Buddha


I thought the national park where the buddha was located would offer other things to see besides the buddha but by the time we entered the park, we found out the entire park consists of a trial that was built around the buddha, so you go on the trail to see the different faces of Buddha at different locations.

The trail was completely packed with visitors.  Once you get on it, you could not get out of it.  You need to move forward because it was packed elbow to elbow.  It was a hot and humid day. Every body sweated heavily and smell bad!   However, every one on the trail had the same thing in mind as I did that is to see the Buddha no matter what!

So, here are the photos taken on  different parts of the trail and the face of  different side of this giant Buddha!

Chongqing at Night

Due to its distinctive geography, Chongqing has gained recognition both within China and internationally for its captivating night scenes. The city is nestled alongside Xiaobashan Mountain, where two rivers converge at its base. Several noteworthy locations offer splendid views of Chongqing at night, including Hongyadong, the Jiefangbai business district, the Yangtze River cableway, the Nanshan Hill viewing deck, and the Kansheng Pavilion (also known as Liangjiang Pavilion) in Eling Park.

The photographs featured here were captured at Hongyadong, an exceptional spot that offers a panoramic view of Dongshuimen Bridge, towering complexes on the opposite side of the river, and the renowned Diaojiao building complex. These stilted structures house numerous souvenir shops, coffee houses, bars, and restaurants, making it the perfect place to savor a meal or drinks while relishing the breathtaking scenery.

A day in LA- Getty Center

Every time I visited LA, I visited Getty Center.  It is one of my favorite places to go and have fun.  The center is located on the hill site with great view of LA and its surroundings.  The white marbled buildings stand out under blue sky and looked so pure, peaceful and beautiful. 
Then, there were gardens, sculptures, flowering tress that decorate the center,  so they give you a peaceful and beautiful place for you to walking around, to smile the fragrance from the garden and enjoy the colorful flowers.  
When you are tired outside in the sun, you can take a break and visit the museums and enjoy the art collection and afterwards have a glass of wine or Cocktail in a 5 star restaurant with great view.

A day in LA_ Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook

A great place to visit if you are into hiking and excise.  You can choose to hike all the way from the bottom of the hill to the top on the dirt trial or climb the stairs from the bottom to the top. Either way, you will have a great work out but the view on the top of the hill will take your breath away. 
We visited it was in May, you can still see mostly yellow flowers along the trail.  Photos were taken mostly on the top of the hill.
