In one old Chinese Story, the fairy happened to meet one handsome scholastic and they fell in love with each other. Now many people come here to try some good lucks. |

The fairy was enjailed in the pagoda because she married the people and disobeyed some rules.

It would be super cool to enjoy the local tea in the boat cafeteria.

There is the Zhejiang Museum free from admission beside the lake. It collectes some local historical cultural relics.
Jade Eared Gold He – Golden Vessel. 770 – 476 BC. After more than two thousands years, it’s still very shining. |

Kwan-yin is the super idol of my mother. She worships Kwan-yin to give me a safe trip before I leave home every time. The fine embroiders can be seen on the clothes.

You're a poet as well as an artist!
Lovely to see more pictures from you Billy - always appreciated |
Glad to hear you got a vacation, Billy! How's the new job going?
|
Thank for your conerns. Everything is fine here. I have come back over a month. Now stay in Shanghai. Please let me know if you come here one day.
|
Awesome Pics!
|
Glad you're doing well, Billy. We've missed your pictures but we've missed you even more.
What was the Jade Eared Gold He used for? For royalty? For rich people? For clergy? For special ceremonies or special dinners, rather than everyday, I guess. |
Welcome back Billy! I've missed you and your fine pictures of China, a land I unfortunately know little about.
I hope to visit there one day. |

There was not more information for the vessel in the musem. It was found from one rich people's tomb. Probably it was for wine drinking or for religionary ceremony. |

Sky - very nice, can we have a caption?
Billy - any word on the Games, the Free Tibet movement or any of that? Or best for you to steer clear? We're doing a lot of work with the British Chinese community on the handover (of the cultural Olympiad in September) so I'm immersed in it at present. except I can't claim a balanced viewpoint as they are all ex-pats. |
