Zhejiang Day 4: QianDao

QianDao means Thousand Islands. Basically, we went island hopping.

There was an island with different kinds of locks on exhibit. Thousands and thousands of locks in different shapes and sizes. Then there was another island with thousands and thousands of fish in little ponds. Wait, no that wasn't an island. It was like a boat. Anyway, those fish were very hungry. I'll also upload a short video of them later.

Then there was an island with different kinds of birds. One of our hosts gave me a small packet of bird food. Coach WangYueFang said, "I'll take your picture while the birds feed on your hand." I said, "That would be great!" I went in, the birds flew all over me: my hair, my clothes, everywhere! I screamed and screamed and screamed. Then I threw the little packet so they'd stop coming near me. I think I discovered that day that I don't like birds when they're not in their cages. No, let me rephrse that. I don't like them when I'm also in their cage.

And then we took a cable car to another island where we can see views of the many islands nearby. Coach WangYiFu had to sign thousands and thousands of autographs and pose with thousands and thousands of strangers who wanted his picture. The price of fame...

This is the last of the Zhijiang series. There should have been a day 5 but my camera ran out of power the morning of day 4 and I was stupid enough not to bring my charger. I wasn't able to take pictures of our gondola-like mode of transportation, or the house of LuShun, a famous writer, and many other things which are all a blur now.
