#84 San Shan Island

I (Juliana) just can back from a trip to San Shan island with my school class. There were about 40 kids that went. We left on a Wednesday morning from my school Dulwich and returned on Friday with lots to tell.

To get there, we were on the school bus for about an hour and a half. When we got to the harbor on Taihu Lake, we rode speed boats and to the island - about a 15 minute ride.

San Shan, meaning "three mountains" in Chinese, is on a big lake called Taihu. We enjoyed ourselves with hiking, making homemade bread, bon fires, picking fruit and finding ancient stone tools that were over 9000 years old.

We had a great time!
