Bingyu Valley

You may be thinking that the Tanya & Andrew China Adventure blog ended, but you would be wrong. We're just slackers. However, in our defense, Andrew has been extremely busy at work and I was in the U.S. for six weeks to prepare for our October 7 nuptials. The good news is, we're now both back in China & I have some time to update the blog. Stay tuned...

******************

At the end of August I took a day trip to Bingyu Valley, which is about a two hour drive from Dalian with our good friends Leon & Kevin, their dog Jilly and Kevin's mom who was visiting from Scotland. Binguy Valley is a national park, complete with a roller coaster, zip line and shooting range (what national park isn't complete without these items?) We really enjoyed our trip to the unspoiled China countryside.

Flying saucer or flying bullets, either way.

No need to keep the firearms in a gun safe.

Maybe a look of fear on my face. The Chinese aren't known
for their  outstanding safety standards.

A little scary crossing this dam.

After crossing the shady dam, we had to hop a fence.

Food on a stick anyone?

No sure what they are cooking (above), but they have a number of
sauces and spices to make it better.
