#352 Island B





The boys and I took the canoe to "Island B", the smaller of two islands on Jinji Lake. The other island (Peach Blossom Island), is now inundated with tourists who are brought on boats from the new Ferris Wheel amusement park. We packed a picnic lunch and had a very interesting tour of the island. We saw a peacock (no picture) and we climbed down to the subway tunnel that is being built underneath Jinji Lake.

You can see Joseph and Marco peering down the shaft, then our descent, and the tracks in the subway tunnel. The subway is supposed to open in 2012. The two random guys we met on the island stayed and watched us as we ate our sandwiches by the shore. What an adventure !
