Travelogue: He Art Museum
[Authors note: This is a try at something different. I include pictures of travel and local living in China with my other articles, so I thought why not focus on that from time to time? China was mysterious to me in 1997 and I’ve been surprised continuously ever since. I believe it is still a mystery to many who haven’t had the chance to visit. I hope to pull the curtain back a bit. Let me know what you think, your input is appreciated and will be put to good use.]
I’ve only recently made the discovery that there are endless little side quests available for a person in China with time, resources, and a modicum of curiosity.
Grinding relentlessly after stats for years in a game, life, that actually (whisper) has no final boss (someone could have told me?), eventually one looks around for diversions.
So let’s go to Foshan! Only an hour by train from Shenzhen, Foshan is a newly minted Tier 1 city. I’d prefer you didn’t ask me what that means… Foshan is a place I’m familiar with, having visited many, many times over the last two decades. Always visiting furniture exhibitions, furniture manufacturers, and furniture retail stores. Never did I spare a moment to consider the cultural surroundings. So this was like being invited to the house after years working in the barn.
