I had already done the last two in my homestay, and after my conversation Zhong told me i was living in the home of village leader! Oops :-S 272 For the rest of the day we went to visit this beautiful island called Nanzhao Island. This had once been a luxury summer island in the Nanzhao kingdom but was now a touristy yet beautiful island that had many big religous ...
