Here are some pictures from our group dinner last night. Most of the restaurants here have the red lanterns hanging outside. The fish tanks were in the foyer of our restaurant where we had dinner last night, it had different species of fish and crabs. We had lunch at a restaurant that served many different dishes, however; crispy duck is their specialty. I enclosed a picture of the chef carving it tableside. Our guide is very nice we have learned a lot about the history of China and its Emporers. The Forbidden City is where the Emporers lived during their dynasty. We went to the Temple of Heaven where we saw many locals singing and playing cards. We visited a pearl factory and did a little shopping. I am going to attach some more pictures, it is a little slow and sometimes doesn't cooperate.
