Beijing South Terminal 2019. The CR400BF covers the 117km (73 miles) between Tianjin and Beijing in 30 minutes at a standard operating speed of 350km/h (217mph).

A worker grooms the 500 year old rice terrace in Guilin, China.

Our guides, from Guilin Photography Tours, setup an opportunity to go into some peoples homes on our first day.

 

It's one thing to be walking around an ancient village but something else entirely to be invited into a home and photograph people within their surroundings.

 

This lady, to me, was absolutely beautiful both in her appearance and in spirit. So was so welcoming when we came in and was so willing to be a subject for our cameras.

 

This is one of my favourite moments from the trip and one of my favourite shots from the couple of weeks that I was in China.

Callistephus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae, containing the single species Callistephus chinensis. Its common names include China aster and annual aster. It is native to China and Korea and it is cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant in cottage gardens and as a cut flower. This species has been grown and bred extensively in cultivation. Cultivars are available with flowers of many colors, varying heights, and single and double heads. In the wild, they are purple in color. There are several cultivars with flowers of different colors. Cultivars with flowers of other colors were obtained in particular by hybridization. Cultivated varieties can have ray florets in most any color, including red, pink, blue, purple, and white. They are up to 3.5 centimeters long. There are many yellow disc florets in the center. S10N 185

We're in Missouri. Appeared directly to our north in early afternoon. Heard it was over Iowa. 60,000 ft high but you could see it with your eyes. It was surprising how quickly it moved to the east and out of our view within 10 minutes.

 

Local TV station KMIZ featured this photo on their 5 o'clock Breaking News tonight.

First about the watch:

This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.

Nice silver pie pan dial.

The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).

 

That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.

 

Now for your Chinese lesson:

The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.

 

Examples:

表带 biǎo dài watchband

手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch

钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock

压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge

高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter

The Chinese Lantern plant has many names, such as Japanese Lantern and winter cherry. It has a large orange to red papery covering over its fruit. It blooms with white flowers in summer but the red lanterns appear in the fall. It grows wild in many places and is popular as an ornamental. It can last a long time in a vase, but don't touch it -- it crumbles easily.

This tree is native to southern China, where a substantial industry once revolved around the harvesting and processing of its waxy seeds. They were thrown into boiling water to remove the wax, which was skimmed off and used to make candles. The seeds were then pressed to extract an oil for use in lamps, as a purgative, and for making oil-paper and soap. These days Chinese tallow tree is grown mostly as an ornamental, and it is one of the few deciduous trees to produce good autumn colour in areas with mild winters.

Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinensis, Hamamelidaceae) is an evergreen shrub. Also known as Chinese witch hazel or Chinese fringe flower, it puts on a beautiful show in spring with small, frilly flowers, typically pink.

This rather fierce creature was acting as a sort of spiritual guardian , at a pavilion in the Forbidden City , Beijing. With such sharp fangs & claws ,I`m sure he must have scared away any evil spirits .
