Canton, a tdaxp Travelogue
Our engagement called for celebration, and what better way to celebrate that visiting Canton -- no, not Canton, South Dakota (which we visited just prior to this year's China trip), but the Eastern Vastness of the People's Republic of China.
Canton was previously in the French sphere of influence, and is the richest province in the country. While immigration is a political question -- other Chinese keep trying to move here -- the country has long been open to the outside world. The two most recent revolutionary movements with strong Western influence -- the Taiping and the KMT -- both got their start here.
Lady of tdaxp and I are off to another adventure involving train travel, so I am not sure how often new material will be posted. Until then... enjoy!
