The best memory we have as a family of China, is the trip we made to an ancient Chinese village!
The school my Dad worked at offered to take some of the teachers and their families to an ancient Chinese village, about an hours drive out of the city. Of course we were very eager to go and ended up having the best time ever!
We took a delightful boat ride down the river to the other side of the village...

Everything was so picturesque...
In the background is the Moon Tower, which is so beautiful!
We then wandered the streets in the village...
And bought some traditional Rose Petal sweets at a Chinese sweet shop...
Through the village were these quaint alleyways...
And the best part was dressing up as traditional Chinese ladies!
Sofia wasn't so keen though...
With her dark skin and hair Rebekah looked the most like a Chinese lady...
I felt like a princess in this dress!
Even the older girls dressed up!
After purchasing a few souvenirs and grabbing an ice~cream, we made our way back to the school bus, a tired but happy group!
What lovely memories we made, ones we shall never forget!

Oh how beautiful Gabrielle! I had never seen photos of this life in China. The pictures remind me of Italy with the lovely buildings built beside the water.

You are a wonderful story teller and I am so enjoying your China series.
