Diagram explaining the water levels in this Wetland Park - the Li Lakes

There is a beautiful bridge over the water.  The vegetation is lush.  I wish they had name tags on all the trees, bushes...

It's hard to just walk thru' without stopping to admire everything!  This is our group, and the folks in the photo are from New Zealand and Australia.

Our guide's futile attempts at keep us together and on schedule!

All along the pathway, there are bas reliefs of the vegetation common at this site.	Our friend Edah Morris and Sue-On  in front of one of the several tablets. Hopefully, the verse on this tablet is kind ;-)

Mathew and Sarah from Australia.

It's a bit misty looking out onto Li Lake,  but it's beautiful -  like so many Chinese paintings we often see.

Bill with his camouflage hat -  blending in with the environment?

Our friends Kerry and Edah Morris  who were such wonderful hosts in Malaysia.

The carvings on these bridges, found at many of the UNESCO sites  are beautifully maintained -  no graffiti to mar the beauty and hopefully never!	Interesting tree stump  with plants growing in the crevices.

Always in sight - the spread of urban elements.

A view from the bridge.

These are floats attached to a net.

Our tour buddy, Terry, who seems to be around 7 feet tall (at least to me, but probably 6'6")  holds a tiny, tiny frog we found on the path.

The foliage is beautiful.

Growth on "islands"...

Seems I wore the right outfit to blend in ;-)

Some of the local ladies spending a leisurely afternoon at cards.
