Guangzhou day twenty-two

Went to the South China Botanical Gardens. Really beautiful, so huge we spent the whole day there and barely saw half of it. There were greenhouses, some with waterfalls, some with air conditioning (yay!) for arctic plants. There was also a huge orchid garden, but they are not in season apparently, so sad since this is the only season I can visit Guangzhou as long as the kids are in grade school. There is also a lot of wildlife, but which I mean birds, snails, dragonflies, and butterflies, nothing more dramatic than that.
