I saw opiums in Kuimin

Mom and I got up early for airport. The city of Beijing was still asleep. By 11:00am, we are at Kuimin, a south China city that only has one season year round -- spring. Here is a park for international flower show.



Since childhood, I have always been taught to associate the opium with negative conotations.
Karl Marx uses opium to desibe religion. "Opium War" was the beginning of a hundred year's of national humilation for my motherland China. But here in Kumin, in the year of 2007, opium poppy is openly displayed for everyone to appreciate. They are truly elegant, are'nt they?




Let's get some more detailed pictures.
