Bamboo weekend in Anji

Currently it’s the National Day Golden Week in China. Meaning that about 1 on 5 people in the world has holidays. Resulting in millions of people leaving the major cities to go back to their hometown. Instead of going back to my hometown, I’ve spend the past weekend in Anji. Together with some Chinese, French and Turkish people I left Shanghai to spend the weekend in a region known for its bamboo. While I read up about the region before leaving, how little did I know bamboo would be so omnipresent. We drank bamboo beer while eating bamboo dishes with bamboo chopsticks in a bamboo forest. Great fun :-) Some photos.
