The Last Time

Raining, raining, raining

That was the last time

Come and go

Go and Come

I am tired of these

I was standing by the railing

Somebody was borrowing an umbrella

Somebody was copying an answer

Finished copying the answer

Borrowed an umbrella

The rain stopped

So we were strangers again

To do what we should do

I was tired of these

So now

Raining

Chongqing

Located in central China is the city of Chongqing. The name Chongquing comes from the Jialing River that runs through the city into the nearby Yangtze River. It is the greatest populated city of the People's Republic of China's four provincial-level municipalities. Unlike the other three Chongqing is based in the less populated western region of China. In the recent 2005 census, just over 6.3 million people lived in Chongquing which is much lower than the other nearby areas. Supposedly Chongqing was established around the eleventh century BCE by the Ba people and by 316 BCE, the State of Quin had overrun the city.

The old and the new. They are always together everywhere in Chongqing.

The Giant Buddha

(Click to enlarge)

The Giant Buddha on the east bank of Mingjiang River in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, rests his feet where three rivers——the Minjiang, Qingyi and Dadu——join. The Buddha faces Emei Mountain across the river and at its back is the western slope of Lingyun Mountain. Standing at 70.7 meters with shoulders 24 meters wide it is an impressive sight. A water drainage system reduces erosion by rain and slows weathering.

The statue was begun in 713 and completed in 803. To the right of the statue a plank road with nine turns was built and it is now famous as the nine-turn plank road; it goes from the bottom to the top.
