Gerry and the drum academy - Part 2

While most of our time in Jiangzhou was spent at the drum academy, we did get some time to do some sightseeing.

Unfortunately, I didn't actually understand what the various sights that I was seeing were.  I had a lot of fun though and managed to get some traditional holiday style snaps!

The first place we went to must have been some kind of local landmark.  It was basically a tower at the top of a hill which meant that it was visible from multiple locations within the city.

Naturally, the drum team took a group photo there.

Ha!

Admittedly, part of the reason that the trip was fun was because the kids had a lot of fun playing with each other while wandering around the city.

In addition to drums though, there were other sights.  There was a place where they were hand-making ink pads out of clay.  I have to admit, there was an amazing level of artistry on display as they carefully carved shapes out of a block of clay.
