The Mao cult









First 4 photos taken at Yellow Crane Tower, Wuhan, east-central China. I had only one full day in Wuhan, so chose to visit "the city's pride & joy."





From Wuhan, I headed south to Changsha. Very close by is Shaoshan, Mao Zedong's hometown. Millions of people make the pilgrimage here every year and it certainly was crowded this morning. Interesting to see various tour groups in uniform.










If you want to buy a statue of Mao, Shaoshan is the place to shop.
