Had a great time making the dumplings. Our host also showed us how to cook fried rice, chicken with peppers and lotus roots. We enjoyed a real Chinese feast the first night of our trip. Only drawback was that the hosts home was a little further to walk to than expected. However, we did some sightseeing on the way and saw some interesting sights.
