We boarded an air-conditioned hovercraft which seats around 100 people, airline fashion, to cover the 110 miles up the Pearl River for the .three hour cruise. The Pearl River is a busy waterway, so we clipped along through a steady stream of large and small vessels and although it was overcast and rather murky, the route was very scenic with sub -tropical trees grow- ing along the banks. We arriv- ed at the Zhou Tou Jui piers, right in the centre of Canton, where a guide walked us through customs and im- migration and herded us into a van to immediately begin our tour of the city. Despite the lush green of the overhanging trees, our first impression was one of drabness. Most of the greL stone or cement buildings, showed signs of a past glory, but now looked to be in a state of decay. The streets were clogged with bicycles, buses and trucks. A few govern- ment owned taxis also cruis- ed around, and because of the congestion, traffic inched along slowly. Our first stop was the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, built in the 1930's to honor Dr. Sun, a native of Canton who set up his revolutional government there. Outside, it's quite grand, with its charming Chinese architecture, but in- side, it's a little worse for wear. However, one is able to catch a glimpse of the one- time grandeur of the hall which seats 4000 people. We visited a museum, which 100 years ago, had been the home of a wealthy man- darin. It's a fabulous place, recently restored and opened to tourists, which defies description of its many rooms, courtyards and gardens. Hundreds of bright- ly colored carvings of animals and people, real and fanciful, decorate the many rooftops. The building houses pottery and other valuables from the Ming dynasty, so many, our minds and eyes could hardly grapple with all the treasures. Friends, who had visited China four or five years ago, warned us that Chinese hotels were a far cry from North American ones. So, imagine our surprise when we crossed to Shamian Island in the mid- dle of the city and drove up to a beautiful, modern hotel, The White Swan. As we entered the foyer, we stopped in our tracks; a two storey waterfall fell over rocks into a small river that wound its way beneath delicate bridges and among ferns and flowering shrubs. To woo more tourists, more deluxe hotels are being built. Our rooms were lovely, the beds being covered with velvety blankets made in the U.S.A. The bathroom was modern and shining; we had a small fridge and a colored T.V. set. We were amused when, every time we turned on the T.V., we were treated to a lesson in English, with what looked like British actors ac- ting out, and repeating scenes, such as ordering at a restaurant or checking into a 'Strawberries) Pick your own Starting June 18 One mile south of St. Joseph on Hwy. 21. 238-2758 or 238-8203 quantity discounts Remember Dad June 17 Give the right gift that lasts a lifetime.

We were walking through the garden of an ancient temple when we noticed a group of youngsters, who looked about 14 or 15, watching us and smil- ing shyly. When we smiled back, they immediately grouped around, some of them speaking English in- credibly well. Such sweet kids they were, and many were the questions they shot at us. "Where do you come from?" "Is it always cold there?" "How do you like our coun- try?" "Is it as nice as Canada?" They told us they begin to learn English at school, very early. Later on, three university students came up to us, when we were waiting for our bus, wanting to practice their English, too. One spoke flawlessly; he said his English teacher was from were suppressed. However, under a different regime, the Chinese are back to what they do so creatively...painting, weaving, carving, etc. We It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith `Vancouver. We certainly got the feeling that these young Chinese are being groomed for a new and coming age in China, and in the world. During the Cultural Revolu- tion, many of the arts in China were taken to two factories, one where jade is carved so intricately, one can hardly believe one's eyes. The other place was a ceramic factory where artists, working over small tables, turn out ex- quisitely executed objects. In the showroom, much to my delight, I came upon a two foot statue of Dr. Bethune, the Canadian who saved many • Chinese lives during the Japanese -Chinese war. Behind the figure of Bethune was a Chinese soldier, holding a rearing horse. I asked if this magnificent piece had a price? "Oh no," answered the guide, "It's one of a kind." He said every Chinese studies about Dr. Bethune in their history books." For shopping, we were taken to a Friendship Store, but first, we had to change our currency into 'funny money' or tourist dollars..
