Our hosts have arranged two trips to surrounding areas as part of the program. This weekend we are traveling to Hangzhou for 2 days and last weekend we took a day trip to Tongli. ( 45 minute bus ride) Tongli is a beautiful town divided into seven islands intersected by 15 canals. Because of the landscape, almost all of the buildings in the town are along the waterfront. In front of the buildings, small stairs lead to the canals for residents to wash clothes and for traveling around the town by boat. There are 49 stone bridges linking different sections of the town, each displaying a different style. There were many tourists and a charge to enter the town. Enjoy the pics.
