Wednesday went to Ningbo and then rushed to Quzhou.

Quzhou is an ancient city its known half of the Confucious clan moved to this city during the Warring state period anyway its more than a thousand years ago. Its scenic too with many mountains and big city people flock here for vacation especially during summer. Obviously we do not have the luxury of time to travel so just make do with the time we have in the old part of the city which still has a part of the ancient wall preserved

Be careful with the spicy rib at DSD ...I had my worst food poisoning after a meal there. I suspect it was the ribs, possibly not fully cooked. I love the mapo tofu more than the ribs.

Had a fast food lunch tastefully designed Chinese noodle restaurant on Sunday, He Fu 和府.

Decorarion really looks like a library with real books and customers encourage to take a book to read while enjoying Chinese noodles. Really love the zen design
