Christmas Day at Yuntai Gardens and the Guangzhou Zoo

First of all, last night we had Christmas Eve dinner at JM Chef. It was recommended by another adoptive mom and it was great! We had a boneless chicken, sweet and sour pork, green beans and rice. We also had tea and boiled peanuts. It was a great place to eat for Christmas Eve. Santa (well a Chinese man dressed as Santa) came in and greeted everyone. Macey didn't like him much, but she did like the candy he gave her. :)



Kevin was not brave enough to try the snake. They had some strange things there that you could pick out for dinner. Here are the snakes, turtles, and mud eels that were available:







This morning we went to Yuntai Gardens. Yuntai Gardens was made in 2000 to celebrate the new millenium. It is at the base of White Cloud Mountain, the only mountain in the city. What a gorgeous place to spend Christmas Day! Sorry, I have TONS of photos. They were all so beautiful I had to share them all.












































After Yuntai Gardens, we headed to the Guangzhou Zoo. My expectations were low but it was much nicer than I expected. Macey had a BALL there. The monkeys were especially cool to her. Here are a few from the zoo:















Oh and this is after we got back...Macey was worn out!



Merry Christmas from Guangzhou China! Just a few more days are we are headed home!
