What fascinates me here in China is that everywhere I go there's always a body of water. There are streams, rivers and the above all the lakes. I always love to ponder these natural wonders for they always remind me that no matter how complicated life can be they can show the world that they are calm and I grew up in a place where I could go to the beach with only few strides. I even witnessed how the big waves took our house and torn it into pieces. These memories went flowing in my mind when I was staring into this great lake known as TaiHu, "Hu" means lake. My students told me that this lake is one of the three biggest lakes in China. This lakes also reminds me of my home, the Philippines. It looks like an ocean, like the way we have at home. I couldn't see the other end so I imagined that this is bigger than the ocean surrounding Cebu City.
These are some of the photos I have taken during our visit through Shigong Hill, a hill overlooking the lake.

A view from the other side. It seems an ocean to me. I just wish people were allowed to swim here. I miss swimming so much.
Xishan Hill view
Trees with no leaves. It seems that they're dead but they're still alive. "What you see is never what you get." I think this applies to these trees.
