We met up in town at a bus stop and then rode the bus for 40 minutes to the outskirts of the city and then began our walk. We didn't get back on the bus until almost 5pm (after getting on the bus at 12:40pm).
The story of this park is that this rich man had so much money and was bored so he decided to buy a large patch of land on the outskirts of Nanjing and have 22 architects from around the world design and build different houses. I'm not sure if there is an intention to resell these houses or rent them out once completed but for right now even the finished ones are standing empty (and some are already rusting in some places).
Here are the pics from the day.

| Walking through a tree park... |
 |
| That they are destructing. |
 |
| Heavy machinery right in the roadway. |
 |
| The Art Museum with the Architecture Park |
 |
| Our first view of the park. |
 |
| Hashers walking among the buildings. |
 | |
| The Chinese wouldn't let us use the standard chalk on the ground for directions so our Hares had to be creative and use clothes pegs to make the path. It was very similar to an Easter Egg hunt. |
 |
| Creative method for telling us NOT to go this way. |
 |
| Beer Stop |
 |
| No beer for Stephanie, just Iced Tea. |
 |
| House with a strange pond on top of the house. Not good for parties. |
 |
| See on top of the building - look to the right you can see the ramp up. |
 |
| On the roof there were also large holes looking down into the house - again not good for parties. |
 |
| Bamboo house, with a ring of bamboo poles around the patio. |
 |
| From the outside it kind of looks like a cage. |
 |
| But the shadow effect from the bamboo is cool. |
 |
| The Waterside Pavillion |
 |
| Inside, more party area than living area - those benches are the only sleeping services in the entire building. |
 |
| Circle at the end, only down-down for Stephanie was when everyone got in trouble for not actually finishing the trail (we stopped when we saw the buses.) |
