Tongli

For a field trip at school I went to Tongli, an old city in China.

This is a bridge I saw while I was walking with my group. (My mom and me)


My group...


Then, after we walked around for a while, we went on a boat ride. On the boat, my mom and I paired up with another group.



This is Kelly. She was in the group we paired up with.

Next we went to lunch. It was on the side of the river.


While we were eating, a lady came and sang for us. I got a picture with her.

We saw a man with birds. The birds were trained to fish.

As you can see, this bird has a rubber band around it's neck. The rubber band prevents the bird from swallowing the fish.
Every 12 fish the bird catches, it gets to eat one.
This man played music for everybody on a traditional Chinese instrument. He was very good!For the rest of the time we mostly walked around and shopped for souvenirs. This field trip was the best of the whole year! I really enjoyed it!
