maldives-meeru island resort

China Suzhou

It took us about an hour to Suzhou from Shanghai. The place is kinda peaceful. It's like the Eastern version of Venice. There are many waterways, and houses were built alongside the rivers.

China ZheJiang - Pu Tuo Shan

We can take a speedboat or slow ferry direct from Shanghai staight to Pu Tou Shan(home of Godness of Mercy). But we decide to go via land so that we can soak in the sights along the way.This will take us about 2-3 longer, but it was worth the travel. This Shen Jia Men ferry terminal this is the last stop on mainland china where we have to transfer onto a ferry to get to the island

This is the place in China where Godness of Mercy first step foot on when arrive from India

China Ningbo- HeMuDu remains

From the little village in Ningbo, we took a ferry across to see the remains left from 7000 years ago. The poles sticking out of the ground were the same ones that ancient houses were built on.

Ningbo - village

This "cresent" villge is hidden in the valleys of Yuyao,NingBo.

Here, villager still washes their clothes by the river
