Pic o' the Day #23


Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town,
Many people were stirring, like these elves in their gowns.

I had gotten a tip that the Mianzhou Hotel served a wonderful buffet including lots of western food that is not easily found in these parts.

And it was wonderful. The whole hotel was decked out for Christmas. There were carolers lining the staircase. There were lights and decorations everywhere. Everyone was dressed for the part. There was live music and seafood and steak and something I had not seen before or since in China--a real turkey.


If you'd like to stay at the Mianzhou Hotel during your visit to 绵阳 (Mianyang), check out their website.
