Day 64: Kun Ni Village to Budai

January 29, 2012.

                     Good morning! What would you like to have?


I woke up in the temple room early and set out when it was still dark, very happy to find this breakfast shop open. Needless to say I was a source of interest to the locals who came in. After brekkie, I walked through the market, in full lively progress at an early hour.

It was a long day of walking but an interesting one. 











                     
               Then I followed the street through to the harbor.



                                 Some kind of dredger


    With a golden grab waving me a cheery goodbye, I set off. 


                                Monuments






To the left, the Mashagou Recreation Area / Stray Dog Reserve. To the right, Jiali Village

                                    Jangjyun Harbor, in the recreation area



                                  Jiali Village







                       Scenes from the road: this water is way too green

                     So many oyster shells they use them for landfill

                               Shots of Beimen: rebar 

                        Of course I know what, but WHY?

                         Haomeili Village and wetlands

                                Boys will be boys                         



                                    Mazu's guardians: 1) Thousand Miles Eyes

                                      2) With the Wind Ears


                           Into the wetlands, a fine bird sanctuary













                           Here is a rare bird flying away from me.

                                And another one!         

                            You should have seen this one before it disappeared!!


                           Back to developed wetlands on the way to Budai.

                          The fish market: very lively






                            And the fishing harbor
