Today, Sunday, I organized a trip for 9 people to the Zhujiajiao Ancient water city. Zhujiajiao is an ancient water town well-known throughout the country, with a history of more than 1700 years. There are not many Western tourists, this is where the Chinese come for time off. I am told the little town is the best-preserved among the four ancient towns near Shanghai. Unique old bridges across small rivers shaded by willow trees. Bridges in the town are distinctive and old, built during Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Without a local with us, the nine westerners opted to not try the local cuisine, we all packed protein bars and trail mix. I did pay for three bean pods from a street vendor. You dig out the seed/bean peel it to a white covering is exposed and eat it. Many of us tried but not everyone in case it might make us sick. So far all is good.
