The final stop on my intro to China was the famed city of Guangzhou or “Canton”. Professor Huang provided a ticket, on the new high speed train, from Wuhan to Guangzhou. The train provided a wonderful view of the Chinese country side and proved to be a superb mode of transportation. Once I arrived in Guangzhou, I was met by Dr. Daike Tian, the new IWGS Nelumbo Registrar. Dr. Tian would take to his “work’ at the time, the South China Botanical Garden, then to Sanshui Lotus World and a tour of the Guangzhou landscape market plus small pet market. Guangzhou proved to be a superb ending to my outstanding first trip to China!
