Tianmu Lake

For the last day of our holiday we went to Tianmu Lake. We had an amazing time! We got there around 8:30 in the morning and didn't leave until 5:30. Most of the day we spent walking, so we covered a lot of ground. Here is a brief recap of all the things we saw and did.

One of the first places we stopped was at the Hall of Fame. This pagoda is a building that contains the names and a brief biography of 736 Number One Scholars who came first in nationwide examinations dating back to over 1000 years ago. It is meant to inspire individuals and promote the culture of the number one scholar.

We practiced a bit of archery.

This is Jenny, Jen and Destiny on the shore of Tianmu lake.

Jen and Destiny relaxed for a while in hammocks amongst the bamboo.

There is a minority group who put on performances at Tianmu lake. We watched the show and then took some pictures with them afterwards.

We brought a lot of food with us for a picnic. We shared some of our fruit with the Macaques on monkey island.

We zip-lined off of the top of monkey island to a small island in the middle of Tianmu lake.

This is Jen beside the world's largest teapot with a looped handle. Those are tea plants in the background.
