October Camping Trips

I wanted to post some more about our adventures here in China. As the holidays approach, I'm reminded of the hiking we often make time for during this season. So I'll start with the camping trips in October. I wasn't at any of these camping trips, so I just picked my favorites.

The first one is the Father & Son's outing. They have it in October here because it rains too much in the Spring.

High rises show up pretty much any where here.

Fire starting

We don't really see that many traditional looking Chinese architecture with the scoopy roofs, but here's one in the back ground.

I love these bridges.

Girls camp took place from Friday evening to late Saturday evening. Again, I just picked my favorites here.

Hopefully that gives you a little taste for camping here in China. It sure makes me feel itchy to get out and see a little more of China outside of the city (if it's even possible to get out of the city here . . . ;).
