1/25/2008 –

Outside of our hotel rooms are elevators. Right there, kids found their play area. The girls love to do cartwheels or somersaults on the carpet there. That was what we did yesterday afternoon after the movies.

At 4:30 pm, all three families aboard the bus we rented. We took a short tour of the city. In less than two hours, we stopped by The Five Pagoda Temple, the Xilutuzhao Lamasery - (also called Xiaozhao Lamasery) and Dazhao Lamasery . We then drove on the Danan Street toward north to Tongdao North Street. It is actually the same street with two different names. On the south of the intersection of Zhongshan West Street is the mongolian section of the district. On the north of the intersection of the Zhongshan West Street is the muslin section of the district. We passed the Mosque on the right hand side, but we decided not to go out because it was dark. We then made a u-turn back to the intersection and turned left on to Zhongshan West Street to eat at pizza hut. The architecture is just beautiful here.
