Then this guy drove me out and back to the historic compound of buildings, actually the home of a prominent merchant family dynasty, where the film Raise The Red Lantern was set.
The whole process took more than three hours. It was pretty cool except that on all the big walls they had hung framed posters from the movie, which was waaay too much, and then that it cost $30 was too much too.
Of course in the Grand Scheme of Things, it costs me $30 to take a taxi to the airport, but considering what I have been spending for things here it just bugged.
