Moganshan in May

Monday, May 24th, 2010

This past weekend we visited Moganshan (莫干山) in Zhejiang Province. In honor of Ash’s birthday, we got together with 6 friends and planned a trip to a resort called Naked Retreats (no nudity involved). Since we stayed at a resort, traveled with friends who speak Chinese, and they booked a van to take us there and back, this was our first trip within China where travel was easy and we could relax and focus on enjoying the destination.

Here we are loadin up the van.
