Wuxi - II

Wuxi has a lot of shops, which resemble the hip trendy shops that you'd expect to see in any major city in the world. Domestic spending is increasing in China which means that the economy is not entirely dependent on exports

Hmm...I wonder where they got that sign from ...China resembles a giant construction zone with cranes dotting the sky-line and buildings being torn down

On the weekend I went to a giant film set in Wuxi

The set for the water scene

Other sets

I also went to see the Lingshan Buddha in Wuxi. At 88 meters tall he is taller than the Statue of Liberty.

They made quite the pose!

Rub his tummy for good luck

To give you an idea of the statue's height
