Wow, Tosh, these are beautiful! You have anymore?

These are just beautiful. I'd be in awe to see something like this up close and personal. Great, great pictures!:)

[Tosh]

Cool man:D Shanghai museum was awesome, all the old dynasties art and the Chinese ethnic section, I think I could of spent a week in there looking at everything. I'll post some from the Yuyuan Gardens soon(actually the first pick in my last post is from there).

[Shaolindogma]

yeah post more. Absolutely stunning. I can't believe they let you take pictures in the museum, unless you had a spy camera. They're like Natzis in american museums, i've seen security make old women cry.

[Tosh]

I tell you Sdog it's very relaxed there(in China in general), you couldn't take pictures with the flash on for the paintings and scrolls. I guess I'm going to have to take a boat there next with gas prices like they are:rolleyes: Maybe I'll just take my double bass and get a job in a hotel or something:cool:

No one else has been to Asia?

I was supposed to go with my Chinese boss at the time. We were going to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong....but I ended up not going as his reasons for me going were different from my own.:D

Simply gorgeous pictures as always Tosh. Look forward to more from you or any other contributors.:)

[Tosh]

You should go if you get the chance Venoms5, once you get there it's cheap, not sure what will happen after the Olympics but one US dollar is about 7 Yuan right now, you can get a hotel for $50 a night and a cab ride across town is 3 bucks, food is cheap if you stay away from the restaurants that cater to Westerners, I'm sure the Hong Kong dollar is more expensive but I still want to go there.

[venoms5]

I would love to go and hopefully it will be in the cards for me to go at some point and time in the near future.

Just got back from a really wonderful trip to China. It was a joy to visit Beijing and a lot of other wonderful places in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces.
I resized some pictures from a too short visit to Shaolin Temple. If you want, take a look in my profile.
If anyone is interested I could post more pictures.

For those who are interested: Just made another album with some of my pictures from my trip to China.

[KUNG FU BOB]

Tosh, these are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting them.

Poelie- please post yours too!

[Poelie]

If you visit my profile: there is the album. Let me know if you want me to post some in this thread.

[Tosh]

Sure Poelie go ahead that's why I made this thread.

Thanks KFBob I'll dig some more out it's been a while, you would of loved the Shanghai museum being an artist, just some truley inspiring art, I'll post some of the paintings and scrolls next. I really thought I was going to go back since I've been there last in 2006 but things haven't worked out, but 2010 I'm there!

[KUNG FU BOB]

Cool! I hope my lady and I will be going too.

[Yang Wu Liang]

Good stuff!

Hey Tosh is that Suzhou in your photos? What a beautiful place - kind of like a Chor Yuan film come to life! I'm lucky enough to have a Chinese wife and a house in Northern China, I haven't been as much as I'd like because of work but I'll be going back soon for a month or two!

I couldn't find too many decent pics without my ugly mug on but here's a few from Beijing, Qin Huang Dau and Southern China...

Great pics man! I especially love this one, looks like a painting! I never got to make it to Suzhou, speaking of ugly mugs - can you spot the tourist?XD
