Tulips!
One of the first times I found tulips in China.

Street in the center
Walk on and you will reach Maoer Xiang with a nice restaurant area

The Katholic Church
It was not possible to enter the church.

Pope Johannes Paulus II
I was surprised to find this big picture here. I always thought that, as the church would have to be independend to Rome, no signs of the pope could be found in China. This is a picture hard to miss.

Street
This sort of streets are very characteristic for Tayuan

Central square
The big, central square, picture take from my room in the Sanjin International Hotel.

The river
Vieuw on the city from the huge bridge over the really big river.

Petshop

Beautyshop
Signs in China with "auto beauty shop" always make me smile.

Fountains
The fountains in the park always give fun. You can run through the arc they make, and sometimes the pressure of the fountains is changing, so even when you run around you run the risk of getting wet. For some running is nice, for others watching is enough!

Boats
Renting boats for in the lake in the park is popular.

Games
Throw the small hoop around the things you want to win!
