I was privileged to tour an orphanage for less fortunate children in China. The children were fed and clothed and had smiling faces. The children also were treated with kindness and given hope of being adopted by a family. They are given a family within the orphanage of a caretaker and other children. They develop friendships and relationships with others. No child looked abandoned. This was by far the most important site-seeing to me personally. I believe children are a country’s most valuable resource. It meant a lot to see that all their children are being cared for.
I later visited Dazu Stone Carvings. They were not anything that I expected them to be. I did not realize how large the carvings were or how beautiful. This is a very impressive piece of artwork. The carvings are in great shape for being over 3000 years old. The fact that the Chinese people, without power tools, created them is a great feat. I could compare these carvings to the stain glass windows of the many churches in the United States. Both have great meaning in religion and pride to the people of their country.
