Guangzhou day twenty-three

Went to the museum of Guangzhou, where we saw archaeological excavations going back 2200 years. We saw artifacts from the Nanyue and Nanhan kingdoms, as well as the Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Very large museum, a lot to see. There was a re-creation of the royal gardens from the Nanyue kingdom, as well as a Taoist temple.
