May 1, the long holiday begins. It was the first long weekend I spent in China. Me and my family went to Zhu Jia Jiao (朱家角). It is a nice place and not far away from Shanghai city. They've got a lovely river and many rustic shops selling handmade souvenirs. You are supposed to see the way the people live and work etc, but it's getting much commercialized and rather superficial. Btw, they charge tourists at 10 Yuan per entry, but there's an unlocked side gate which you can simply walk through without paying. ;-)
