This was not planned and only happened on the spur of the moment when our whale watching tour was postponed to another day due to bad weather.

I have only been able to include a small cross section of the photos I took.

Bronze pottery
Uniform weights and measures were introduced by the Chin
Ornate ceiling tiles
Jade jewellery items
