I had to go back to Taikang Rd for a look around in the daylight. It's just as impressive as it was at last night. There were so many shops that I actually got shopped-out by hour 2. Check it out!
 |
| I was hungry when I got to Taikang Rd so my first stop was for some food. I found one of my favorite things so far. I think they called it Milk Skin?!? and I got mine with Red Bean topping. It was heaven in a bowl, a light milk based custard for only 12Yuan ($1.75USD). I have noted the location of this shop so I can go back. |
Ally after ally of shops and people!
 |
| Most of the shops had steep stairs that led to more items to check out |
 |
| Map of the shopping district. |
 |
| The building was an installation all in itself, called This Peony Will Bloom II. Has over 5,025 steel petals. |
Japanese artist Kychei Fujita.
"Five Colored Dance"
 |
| Chinese artist Loretta Hui-Shan Yang "A great wish" |
This was my favorite. US artist Jay Musler,
Called "City". It looks so modern but is from 1949!
 |
| The museum had a great outdoor space to relax in. |
The founder of the museum was an artist and really into creating glass buddhas.
The one on the right has hundreds of tiny buddhas carved on the inside.
 |
| She also sculpted this guy. Really cool and ornate in person. |
 |
| Here's a better picture of the Peony on the outside of the building. |
Then I found Fuxing Park.
There were so many people using this park. Obviously a very well used community area.
People were flying kites, roller blading, kids playing, practicing Thai Chi,
Ballroom dancing, walking, resting and playing Badminton.
I even found a Holland, MI based company represented along my walk!
Last but not least, I had to get a snack so i chose this sketchy stand with bread-type items.
It was pretty yummy.
Another weekend under my belt.
