We went to Xuyi to visit Peter a fellow Kiwi, he arranged some factory tours for us.  It was very interesting.
This one is a lighter factory it produces 500,000 per day and they are assembled by hand.

The first 4 photos are at a CNC  / lathe factory and the last 2 are at a rock crushing machine factory.

Me and Peter, he picked us up from the bus station in his golf buggy he drives around the city in. Frank, Peters friend took us to Zhu Yuanzhang;s Ancestral Cemetery.  More factory shots and a view of Xuyi from Peter's school.

The first 4 photos are in Peter's sheep skin factory in Xuyi.  The last 2 photos are of Davide's screw factory in Huai'an. 

We constantly get fireworks going off at all times of the day and night.  The red paper is the remains of 20 meter lengths
of crackers. At times they will go on for 15 to 20 minutes.

We did a boat trip from the middle of Huai'an down to an old village called Hexia. There was a variety of things to look at from the boat.

The old village of Hexia. We had Chinese friends with us so we could talk with the elderly inhabitants.  Jonathan got handed the wee boy so his Dad could photograph him with Jonathan.  Lily and Frank trying to get the bird to say hello.
