November 11, 2017: East Lake Park in Jiangmen, Guangdong, China

 

Today I would visit East Lake Park in Jiangmen for the second time. This park is also known as Donghu (East Lake in Chinese) and I visited it the first time in January of 2011. Before I offend everyone, I would like to say that this park is a very nice place to visit. It is a bit old, but they seem to be keeping up the rides better than when I visited in 2011. A powered coaster, Ferris wheel, jungle mouse and other assorted rides are here. The powered coaster replaced a nearly identical unit that was here when I visited in 2011. As near as I can tell, the jungle mouse is the exact some one I rode nearly seven years ago.

 

Now...for the offensive stuff....when my wife and I got off the train in Jiangmen, a private driver said something in Chinese. As I have learned some Chinese, I understood exactly what he said. What he said amounted to "f---! I hate to see a Chinese woman with a foreigner". Now what he said was not racist at all. It is only racist if a white person says something like that. See...I am trying to be open minded and show respect to other cultures.

I am visiting East Lake Park in Jiangmen today. Someone is going with me. More on that in a bit.

This is the lake that gives the park its name.

Another day...another powered coaster. This is actually a replacement for the powered coaster I rode here in 2011.

It was built in November of 2012. This is its 5th year.

A nice flume ride is here.

They recently replaced the restraints on this top spin ride. I wonder why...

The mouse coaster is still here.

I like these types of mouse coasters.
