At least these construction workers were honest about their craftsmanship.

Thursday Michael took us to the Lanzhou Water Wheel. It was a tourist attraction to show how they used to grind corn into flour - Sort of like the Lehi Roller Mills :). These pictures aren't too exciting.
After see the wheels and taking a turn grinding some corn ourselves, we went to a museum about what life used to be like in this area hundreds of years ago. It could have passed for a museum about ancient life in South America. The huts, tools, and pots they made were all the same. The museum was a little difficult with children, though, because they didn't like anyone to make noise or touch anything. Our family didn't last very long in there.
