Rewind to Tongli

When we were in Shanghai (yes we have accidently posted some of the photos out of order) we had a day trip to Tongli- one of the 'water towns' north of Shanghai. Called a water town, because of the myriad of canals that criss-cross the town, Tongli was a great place to spend a quiet day wandering across old stone bridges and getting lost down alleys.

Boats are still a great way to get around Tongli

An intense game of mahjong

In black and white, this scene could be 50 years ago (apart from perhaps the car in the background)
