A Day Trip to Chongming Island

Located off the coast of Shanghai and at the rivermouth of the Long River, Chongming Island is the 3rd largest island of China. Over this May Day three-day holiday weekend, Penny came over from Suzhou to meet her high school classmates; and ten of us altogether went to Chongming Island for green exposure.

A highly urbanized townscape as seen soon after exiting the ferry.

Exchanging tips about photography after the country style lunch.

Trying my skill at the tri-shaw with Penny promising me RMB2 for a ride.

Apparently, I forgot to let go the gear...

Entertaining ourselves while waiting for the ride to another leisure spot on the island.

Sun basking moment, it is really a pleasure day out for Sunny Liu.

Striking a pensive moment in appreciation of greenery.

On the way out of the island, me and Sunny just could not resist the taste bud temptation by the road side and we splitted six sticks of very delicious beef kebab.
