1000 Islands Lake


1000 Island Lake (Qiandao Lake) made in 1959. In the process of making some old villages turned into underwater diving destinations and the peaks of hills turned into islands.
There are still some traditional villages nearby the lake. Though the lake was nice and touristy, the old villages were even more interesting to stroll around.







Ming or Qin dynasty pots in the river.



























Lunch getting ready














The art of using chopsticks



















House and meat storage







Pork drying. When the meat is "ready", it will be washed in the river stream running through the village and to pot it goes.









Close-up of the bone, tasty!









Of course the key attraction of pre-arranged group trips is the lunch and dinner feast with turning round tables, continuous flow of different dishes...
