Last saturday, I went out on a trip with a few people from my volleyball group. We visited Zhouzhuang, a town that's about an hour and a half away from Shanghai by land. It's mainly surrounded by water with boats as the main transportation for short distance trips. It was originally built in 1086 and is famous for the preservation of numerous buildings of the the Ming and Qing Dynasties (yes, I researched that).
Among the other sights that caught my attention were:
These birds are actually used for fishing. The fishermen tie the birds' necks, blocking their throats, disabling them to swallow the fishes they catch with their beaks. In that way, all the fishes are just stuck in their mouths.
And here is the Chinese' verison of a Hello Kitty lamp. Too bad they didn't have Fido Dido.
