We walked
from the boat and passed people selling food and fruit. Many people buy their
breakfast on the street because it is quick and easy.
We were
walking to an very old pagoda. We stopped by the gate to take a picture.
It was a long walk and the
road was very steep. People kept wanting for us to pay to put the “baby” on their chairs
so they could carry the “baby” on the long walk. Nobody in the group was younger than me so
they meant ME! I told them, “Baby can
walk.”
We entered a park place where
they had the heads of the Chinese zodiac animals. Since I was born in 2000 I took
a picture with the head of a dragon. The
Chinese say I am a dragon child.
There was a another big gate leading
to the bridge.
We had to cross a bridge to
get to the Shibaozhai Pagoda’s island.
It was wobbly. They had wrapped
some of the red bridge in shiny gold cloth.
When you walked on the bridge it would swing back and forth. I wanted to make it swing. It was a suspended bridge. Noni didn’t like
the bridge.
On the way up to the pagoda
there was a lookout point with a pointy Chinese roof.
The Shibaozhai Pagoda was
red. It had big holes in it to see out.
There were a lot of stairs.
There were nine floors in the pagoda. Nine is a lucky number in China.
When we left the pagoda we
went back to the boat. There were some
people on the path selling trinkets. Pop
Pop bargained with one of them until they gave up and gave him a good price.
