The Final Full Day in China

The last day in China was a day filled with cultural experiences. We took a bus to Old Town, where we ventured into the Yu Garden. This was surreal experience, seeing the old Chinese architecture and the beautiful gardens and ponds of the Yu Garden. Afterwards, we wandered around Old Town which was filled with little shops selling souvenirs. Bartering almost seems to be a national pasttime.

Leaving Old Town, we attended a traditional Chinese Acrobat show. Originally, many of us thought this would be a rather sad showing, but as the curtain openned, we found that we were completely wrong. The show held our attention the entire time and was filled with stunts and tricks that seemed beyond comprehension.
