1st day of Dragon Boat Festival...WOW never seen it so busy
The 1st day of the Dragon Boat Festivalwe took a bus from Hangzhou West Bus station to Tonglu, where Crystal gave us a great 5 hour tour of Tonglu. We hadn't taken a long distance bus this year and it was PACKED full of people due to the holiday. We had no expectations of our time in Tonglu. so it was a very great way to spend one of our last days in China.



We checked out Barbizon Miller Resort, Crystal's family members soft shell turtle farm and restuarant, picked Bay Berries on their farm, had a city tour in Crystal's Nissan Teana (US Altima model) and relaxed at her family home with cucumber facials. Crystal's step sister is 24 yrs old and her younger cousin is in high school, it was fun to meet more family members and see her Mother and Stepfather's home.



Thanks for the great experience and when we return to China we will return to Tonglu! Enjoy the photos!
