Some of you may not realize this, but Xiangshan is actually part of Ningbo. Even though it takes about an hour to get there, it remains a county under the administration of Ningbo.
On a trip there last year with my friends Ryan and Lee, I enjoyed a unique perspective at this coastal city to the south. I hope viewing these pictures makes these cold Ningbo days a little warmer!
Be warned: the pictures you are about to see may be disturbing…. Yes… I can actually have hair on my head.
Welcome to the coast of Xiangshan
Most of Xiangshans coast is rocky. But resorts exist on patches of beautiful beach, waiting for you.
Frisbee on the beach. Its a must. I never forget my frisbee, and i never regret bringing it. Ningbo has so many good frisbee places.
Hugs Scare Chinese: As a large framed guy, i always get a kick out of giving big hugs and lifting the small frail chinese girls i meet. It is similar to "Shock and Awe".
Lee is the king of strange faces. It seems i cannot take a picture of him without getting a contorted expression.
Ryan loves interacting with the kids. They love us big, strange looking, Laowai.
Ryan, the Seamonster, evoking reaction from tke kiddies
Cant miss an opportunity to get a picture with some lovely vacationers.
The meal we had on the coast in Xiangshan was a new experience for me. Particularly the steamed barnacles we had to pry directly from the stone.
This is a close up view of what ended up center stage on my dinner plate. I never looked at these and though... "yummy" until my visit to Xiangshan.
Sorry Buddy.... Your armor and weaponry are no match for my belly.
hmmm..... cheaper is not always better.
Xiangshan ingenuity "..."?
Cold chinese beer on the beaches of Xiangshan is waiting for you: Simply wonderful.
