Our second stop of the day was the Humble Administrator's Garden, one of China's four most famous gardens. It was very pretty indeed. The only problem was the ever-existing tour groups. Each one had their own tour guide, who was armed with a yellow flag in one hand, and a powerful loud speaker in the other. Every tour guide was determined to out speak the others both in words and in volume. It was truly annoying!
