A weekend hiking in an endless bamboo forest... enchanting!

We spent the weekend about 3 hours from Shanghai (by fast train and then car), tucked into a small hotel at the end of road, surrounded by a massive and endless bamboo forest. It was absolutely magical. We hiked and hiked and loved the small village just down the road from the lodge. Everyone was kind and warm; rice was drying on driveways and streets, and being cut and threshed in the fields. What a fabulous getaway from Shanghai. We will definitely be back to visit many times.
