The view from breakfast.
Wanted to capture the morning commute of bikes, trikes, and mopeds!
So many!

Goofing.

Off on our rickshaw ride!
Our tour guide got a scooter ride.
The end of a fun rickshaw ride!

Seniors dancing with dragons and playing with poi-like balls doing exercise.
Very cool!

With most EF tours, you get to opt into a chance to meet a local family.
This family invited us into their historic home.
He entertained us with some fun tales.
And entranced us with his beautiful Er-Hu playing!
*****
Next came an extra special show.
The Cricket Show!
Everything laid out on the table is specially designed for use with cricket care.

A champion cricket.
Three different cricket in their enclosures.
The smallest one earns his keep the best in his weight division.
A cute hoppper pet.

A fond goodbye to our Beijing hotel.
*****
At the Beijing Airport.
Awaiting our first domestic flight!
Their TSA was amazing, competent and never had to raise their voices.
Imagine that!
A local two hour domestic flight that actually serves a full meal, standard.
Imagine good times like that.

Arrived!
Hello YiCheng.
We are tired, and it is late.
After a bus ride to catch a boat...
We arrived and settled into our riverboat cruise rooms.
