AKA - Chrysanthemum Island, just off the coast of beautiful Xingcheng, my Chinese hometown.
Have the week off school due to the seniors taking their uni entrance exams. My Chinese teacher had never been to the island, even though she's lived here all her life, so she, her daughter and I headed over there yesterday to be tourists. The daughter is also off school a few days this week - she'll be taking the uni entrance exams next year at this time (she said "Don't remind me!").
It was a foggy day (da wu tian - gotta reinforce what I learned), so some of my pictures aren't so great, but here are a few I'm kinda proud of:
Barnacles on the rocks, just off the wharf at Xingcheng
Beach at Juhua - rocks and waves. So peaceful there. I love to listen to the ocean.
Taken from the ferry on the way back
Mending nets - fishing wharf at Xingcheng seaside
A small sample of the fishing fleet
Sorting the day's catch
fishing boat
