China 1/26-2/22

2011 spring festival is just as regular as possible.

On lunar new year's day, my sisters, their sons, George and I flew to Fuzhou, southern China, going for a 3 day trip visiting Fuzhou, the city, Wuyishan, the mountain, Xiamen, the city and the Gulangyu island in Xiamen. I have to say Wuyishan is very nice.

Few days after George and I flew to Beijing to meet my old friends, Jiang yongqiang and Mou Haijin. We visited Summer palace with Yongqiang and his wife, Yang He.
