Thousand island lake or Chinese style excursion :)

This time different trip - excursion organized by my university for foreign teachers and local employees during May holiday! So for 3 days we had a chance to experience a Chinese way of traveling :) That includes hardcore round table meals that seem to be the highlight of the day, and in between the highlights we also managed to see some things ;)

Destination: Thousand island lake!

Thousand island lake is a man-made lake located in Chun'an County, Zhejiang province. There are 1,078 large islands in the lake and a few thousand smaller ones. It covers an area of 573 km². 2 ancient cities are preserved under the water of the lake and it`s possible to scuba-dive there or to take a submarine!!! :)
