Nihao from Anji!

Summers in Shanghai are notoriously hot, so for the last two days we’ve been cooling off in Anji. If the bamboo forests in the pictures look familiar, that’s because many scenes from the famous Chinese martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were filmed in the area. Not only is Anji several degrees cooler than Shanghai, but we have also had the opportunity to go rafting and swimming, in addition to checking out a Hello Kitty theme park, where cute cartoon animals were aplenty. The group is looking forward to returning to Shanghai and finishing the program on a high note!
