Went on a great trip this past weekend, fully paid for by the school. We traveled to two towns a few hours away from Nanjing. On Saturday we visited the city of Changzhou and then on Sunday we visited the town of Zhenjiang.
Our Saturday in Changzhou consisted of a visit to the YanCheng Spring and Autumn Period Theme Park. It's not quite like a theme park we would visit back home but it was still beautiful and we all had fun.

After our day at the park we drove for another 1.5 hours to a five star resort just outside of Zhenjiang. We had a delicious dinner and very comfortable beds.
On Sunday we left the hotel just after 9:00am and traveled to Jiaoshan Mountain in Zhenjiang. The cloud cover (fog) was pretty intense in the morning but we still had a great time exploring the temple at the base of the mountain.
