Heading north from Hangzhou by high speed rail, we got to Jim’s hometown. A nice meal at the home where he lives with his parents, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, a good friend of Jim’s drove to the car-ferry that communicates to Laozhouxiang – a large island in the middle of the Yangtze. The plan? A picnic in a park area at the southern tip of the island!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
