On 26th October, Jake and I went to a town called Yueyang for a few days. The town is famous for historic buildings and its large lakes. This sign is a classic example of the mistranslations to English.
Here is a picture of me (yes, my eyes are closed) with the largest lake in the background. It actually looks like the sea it is so big.








We stayed in a very posh hotel, which was very cheap by English standards, but expensive by Chinese. It had everything we could ask for, including a huge English breakfast and a pastry section.
It also had a king bed which was the most comfortable night's sleep I have ever had. Mum, please add this to the Christmas list.
This is the most famous building, Yueyang Low. It is nearly 2000 years old and was originally a fort to see enemies coming from across the lake. Inside, there is some very ancient Chinese writing which I was not allowed to photograph, but it was very beautiful.
