| Breakfast at Home
|
|
| A steamed glutinous rice cake, a steamed bun (don't recall the
filling), and a red bean roll.

| Qibao

Near the the entrance to Qibao.
I'm amused that behind people
climbing on / posing on rocks is a billboard of more rocks.
| The streets of Qibao.
The streets surrounding Qibao are similar,
just wider.
| Bridges (over a stream at left, over a canal ahead) near a courtyard.
| The canal in the center of Qibao. I like the buildings that project
over the water.

| A close-up of some boats parked by a (different) bridge.
| Qibao feels like a town, complete with a small stage.
| Bridges are lit at night. (I saw the wiring.)
| People on the river.

|
| A dumpling: a noodle wrapper made of glutinous rice flour filled with
greens and pork.
| A map of Qibao and its many minor attractions.

| Lunch in Qibao
|
|
|
|
|
| Part of my lunch: octopus, which I watched at the person fried it in
front of me and squirted lots of sauces on it. Good.
| Corn on the cob. Bad. No sweetness; pure, boring carbs. I took three
bites and tossed it. I bought all the components of my lunch from
stands or stalls on the street.
| I walked along the canal, shown here. In the distance (barely visible
in this photo) is a drawbridge.
| Marinated chicken, quickly deep-fried, then sprinkled with salt and
cayenne pepper.

|
| Elsewhere in the Gubei district
|
|
|
|
| A giant artificial flower-tree at the intersection of Yan'an Road and
Gubei Road. (I happened to walk past it.)
| The one painting I thought was worth photographing in the Liu Haisu Art
Museum/Gallery.
| Its label.

| Dinner at Home
|
|
| Dinner, from left to right: leftover pork with asparagus,
take-out chicken, left-over drunken shrimp, take-out mushrooms. We had
lychee for dessert (not pictured).
