| Thanks to my dear friend who actually lend me her winter outfits from top to bottom. Do you like this? I like it so much. Esp the beanie winter hat, totally in luv with it! |
Below is a snapshot of the residential house which look old but are still occupied by residents. We were taking a trip down the canals on a boat. Along the way, we passed through ancient bridges and the whole experience was really serene and enjoyable. :)
 |
| Our first destination - Wuzhen, it's a very beautiful village on a river. Too bad it was drizzling when we were there and no many photos taken there. |
 |
| Not easy to get a snapshot because the boat was swaying left right when we trying to position ourselves in the boat. |
