A provincial government

I often seen or read on how extravagant are these government offices in China – it’s true. One of its bureaucrats says he plays card games all the time. Oh well.

Li’s temple 李氏古祠

Not far from the shrine is this temple, with busts of donors on the second floor – for these who have forked over $3,000. It has a bathroom but I didn’t go.

Li’s Residence

Hefei, Anhui. Outside the palatial home is a sticky doufu (tofu) vendor. Emmm… it smells bad and wish the vendor would move away.
