Our Day in Nanchang

Today was a semi free day in Nanchang. This mornng we went to the Teng Wang Pagoda - it was amazing and the views were spectacular. It is one of the oldest and most well known pagoda in China. Addison slept through almost the whole thing. The did have amazing porcelain there and we bought several pieces - this is a specialty in Nanchang and Jiangxi Province. Her orphanage brought us a special piece of porcelain from Ji'an and we also received a piece from the civil affairs office in Nanchang.

Then we spent the afternoon hanging around at the hotel. Addison is quite a ham and she keeps us very busy. As you can see she really enjoys the mirror.


Tomorrow we have to do more paperwork at the civil affairs office in Nanchang and the we will be able to pick up Addisons passport to fly to Guangzhou in the afternoon. We should be at the White Swan hotel by 7pm. Guangzhou is the last stop for the adoption. Then we head to Hong Kong and then home. Our appointment with the consulate in Guangzhou is on the 23rd. We leave for Hong Kong on the 25th at 4:30am (ouch)! Signing off until Guangzhou - we sure have enjoyed the free internet in Nanchang.
