Getting Lost

Yes! you read well... finally we had to get lost!!! fortunately, we were not alone: we were with other 3 mexican students  who arrived at CQUST in March, luckily, they do speak some chinese!...first, we walked and walked and walked, enjoying the walk and taking lots of pohotos! we even found a museum and since we were there, we decided to see it, but after that I did worried about finding the way to go back to the subway station line one.... i n the end, we had to take a taxi to get to a more familiar place and then walked to the station... quite an oddisey!!!




 Trying to get to the familiar river side without success
Yuki bought some sugar cane for our mexican ponche
we wanted just a little piece but the lady said you had to buy the
whole piece!!!



Located at East Shuimen Street of Chongqing City, the Huguang Guild Hall, actually a general name for several guild halls in Chongqing, has grown up at the end of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and the beginning of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) when a large number of immigrants from Huguang area (today's provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Guangxi) migrate to Chongqing to develop local economy development.
The original Huguang Guild Hall, also known as Yuwang Palace, was built at the beginning of Qing Dynasty. In later Qing Dynasty, some other guild halls such as the Guangdong Hall (built at about 1662—1722), Qi'an Hall (built at 1817) were built beside Yuwang Palace.
