Foreign Tourists in Chengdu

A group of European tourists with Chinese tour guide walking through the Erwan Temple gardens outside of Chengdu. How do I know they are Europeans ... as a westerner, ya’ just kinda know ... to the Chinese though, well, they think we are alike! As for the gardens, they are well done with waterways, fountains, various statues, classic Chinese structures and many forms of botanical display. At the left of the picture you can see the long “spitting dragon” fountain ... OK, that is what I call it but it is descriptive. The fountain consists of a long series of dragonheads on both sides of walk that are “spitting” water. Great environment for relaxing.
