Our group has participated in various cultural opportunities. At the gracious invitation of Mr. Zhu, a top official in the local Zhuahi government, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner before experiencing a local hot springs. The Imperial Hot Spring is a resort that features more than 40 various types of hot springs that are considered beneficial for good health and relaxation.

Gil and Darlene Shideler “cut a rug” in a park along the river in Doumen. They received a standing ovation by the crowd for their efforts. The Chinese are a very active people. Along with dancing in the park, children were rollerblading, seniors were doing Tai Chi, and many (and I mean many, many, many) others were simply walking.
