Along the Yangtze River, there are several caves containing statues of Guanyin, but most of these are inaccessible, so I simply walked along the cliff. After that, I ascended the cliff... The following day, I visited the Purple Mountain Observatory, which has numerous space rocks and some historical astronomical instruments that date from the 1500s to 1960.

If China can provide rapid and efficient rail service throughout its extensive territory, there's no reason the US can't do the same! Oh, I forgot!

It was excessively warm.
We spent two weeks in Changde. It rained nearly every day, which limited our exploration more than we had hoped. We enjoyed playing at arcades, engaged in Township (a game on our phones and tablets), and went go-karting three times. The go-karts were fully electric and located inside a mall. Logan and Lizzy have been playing Township for over three years and taught Jenny how to play during a two-day stretch of continuous rain. She enjoys the game because it allows her to garden digitally while we travel. They also introduced Lutao to the game, so now the entire family plays Township together.
