The Second Trip to China 2007
In October I made a second 6-week business trip to Dongguan China.   This time I mostly explored Shenzhen and Dongguan City, but I also made quick trips to Shanghai and Thailand.   Dongguan is about 100 miles north of Hong Kong and 70 miles east of Guangzhou, the regional mega-city.   Parks and temples are common throughout China, and we found several huge ones in Guangzhou and Dongguan, not to mention an aircraft carrier in Shenzhen!   Shanghai is a gigantic city that sprawls on forever but the spectacular riverfront is incredible.   Check the previous China section on this web site for maps, english-chinese translations and the state department report. |
