Some Observations: Night 1 of 3 Day Excursion

After dinner at the hotel, we took a walk down towards the river. The shops here are newer and a bit more high end than in Yuyao. Two huge lit up billboards were blaring; On one British Diva Adele was singing and the other showed some Olympic coverage. Lots and lots of lights on all the buildings. The trees were also covered with small blue and green lights. Towards the river, we came to a large open area where hundreds of people were milling around, many of them dancing... just as we had seen in Yuyao. This time a woman dressed in a red dress with black belt was leading the moves! It is a wonderful sight to behold. Lots of children and teenagers on roller blades and skate boards.

Down at the water, a short distance from shore, a series of fountains created "Dancing Waters. Jettisons of illuminated water sparkled in the night sky creating a beautiful series of patterns.



Sally, Dave and I walked along the pier and discovered other groups of dancers along the way. Some people and their dogs were even swimming. This water appears cleaner than other lake water we have seen. On our walk back to the hotel, I enjoyed a mango smoothie and bought a pair of purple tennis. In China, size 41 is difficult to find!

Tomorrow,we will get up early and go to see the islands of Qiandao Lake.
Zai Jian!
