In Nanjing, China there is a bakery in Xinjiekou Square that is worth visiting next to the Pizza Hut restaurant. It's called Bread Talk and there are some favourites that will be familiar to Western visitors like chocolate croissants and pizza bagels. They have cheesecake too!

» greg34 - Sightseeing and adventure trips to Chanthaburi, Thailand

This was first published at http://www.thailandholidayhomes.co.uk .
Famous for its abundance of tropical fruits and a center of gems, the eastern province of Chanthaburi is blessed with rich, verdant forests and scenic waterfalls. The Chanthaburi River flowing through the town has been the home of many ancient communities.
Quaint fishing villages nestle along the pedestrian free beaches close to the town.
The province was occupied by the French during the early part of the 20th century; their influence can be seen in the architecture of many buildings in particular the largest Catholic cathedral in Thailand.
Cathedral of -The Immaculate Conception at Chanthaburi - built some 93 years ago (B.E.2449) by French builders during the time Chanthaburi was occupied by the French. The interior is intricate with stained glass and murals of Christian Gods.
Also called wat Mae Patisonthi Niramon, the most beautiful Catholic Church in Asia and located on the river banks of Chanthanimit Road.
Originally, the church had a tall roof but was taken down in World War II to make it less conspicuous and avoid becoming an enemy target.
