In the mountain sides here, there are burial caves from thousands of years ago…no one really know how they lowered or raised these stone coffins into these caves.

Long Hu Shan…{Part 3}

Loved this painting…not the tradition red and gold in coloration. In China, red is the color of luck and good fortune, this EVERYTHING is red.

A day in Long Hu Shan ~ The home of Taoism {Part 1}

Ying Yang

Recently we went on a day trip with a group of friends to an area North of us…a lovely time for sure! Weather was nice, people amazing and the scenery beautiful! Long Hu Shan { Dragon Tiger Mountain} is known for two things…being the birth place of Taoism and the Ying Yang symbol as well as the cave burial location of an ancient tribe in China.

It’s a sunny day…great day for laundry time!

Every sunny day, I love seeing the laundry EVERYWHERE on campus…in the trees, on the buildings in the bushes…I guess ya gotta take advantage of these days! I love the colors!

 

A Chinese lesson….making Jiǎozi~饺子

Oh these are yummy little Chinese treats that we were fortunate enough to have a lesson from our co~teachers mom. I feel very fortunate to have had this shared experience….it’s this what life is all about????

The secret family recipe…ya, I think it will remain a secret..haha, my reading of Chinese characters isn’t all that.

Making the dough

Making the filling~ pork, chopped cabbage, 2 different soy sauces, ginger, MSG, 2 different pepper, and ??? Whatever it was, YUMMY!

And now cook…add to water, bring to a boil, add a cup of water…reboil, add another cup of water…and when those little tasy treats float, they are ready!
