Our bus ride to the ancient village of Dongsha.

We are met by the Dragon dance. China is preparing for their annual holiday celebration.

Some of us got to try our hand at dragon dancing!
Walking thru the old town of Dongsha. It only has about 200 residents that now make their living keeping the history of an old fishing village alive.
Fish drying is still done the old fashioned way. It was the primary way to preserve fish 400 years ago.
The net makers and menders. Now mainly done for demonstration purposes.
Puppet shows were one of the main entertainment venues years ago.
Musical theater was also popular in the old days
From ancient to modern high tech.
Evening show of the Impression Putuo Performance was fantastic. The director of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yimou, directed this amazing show. It’s the story of a young man becoming a Buddhist monk. The production includes a moving audience platform that rotates 360 degrees and the light show and audio is amazing.
The stage stays fixed and the audience rotates. The light show on the mountain side and lights flashing in the trees are very impressive.
