We had our consulate appointment!!! Yue Lan will be an official American citizen as soon as we hit American soil! I love that about China adoptions. Everything is neatly wrapped up. It makes all the paperwork worth it.
After that, we went with our guide Lili to The Kings Tomb - an ancient burial that was discovered beneath Guangzhou City! Pretty interesting, but the kiddos did not love it as much as the adults. I guess you need to be old to appreciate other old stuff!
However, later that day, our family took a trip to one of the modern wonders of the city. Just a short taxi drive away is the Canton Tower - a huge radio tower. You can go up 108 floors to view the city from an indoor viewing room. And then you go up a few more floors and you can view the city from the world's highest Bubble Tram!
The tram made it feel like you were floating over the city. And it had some awesome acoustics for singing!
It was amazing.
The weather on top was perfect too - warm and windy! We got some great pictures up there of Hazel and Hannah blowing in the wind!
We went at sunset - just in time to view the city in natural light, and then in all it's LED glory! Seriously, this city is lit up! And the tower has MILLIONS of individual light bulbs that light the tower in brilliant hues. And it constantly changes colors and patterns. We all unanimously thought the rainbow pattern was the best!
I think it was definitely one of my favorite places in Guangzhou - maybe in all of China! So worth it!
