Work & Fun - Tongli

Some of my friends are aware that I have been travelling from Shanghai to Wujiang at least twice every week, waking up early at 6am for the 1.5 hour journey. Very tiring.

After all these hard work, my boss decided to give us a treat - a small group outing at Tongli, a water village nearby Wujiang. We left Wujiang office at 3pm and head to Tongli Lakeview Resort. Nice place, very serene. I love this place and it's a good chance to get away from Shanghai's polluted environment.

This picture is taken from my hotel room. Nice view, serene and peaceful.


Group picture of the project team taken at the resort.



This is Lida... the external consultant and the youngest in the team. She is usually quiet in office but on this day, very talkative and outgoing. Young girl and daring... she has some really outstanding pose for the cameras.


After checking in and taken a couple of pics at the resort, the team headed to Tongli watertown, and everyone's looking happy. After a 15 minutes walk, we finally reached the entrance of Tongli.




Me and Todd, our Project Manager who will soon be leaving back to the states in June.


Everyone's playing with DSLR... we have 3 sets on this day. Photographers spent a lot of time exchanging views and opinions and photography, taking pictures and having me, Jane, Lida posing as models. Yeah... lame, but we enjoyed the process as well as the results.







I like the following 2 pictures... of Jane taken by me and of me taken by Jane, both using my normal Panasonic Lumix.




Picture of me and Jane taken by Gordon, a natural piece.


We had a lot of fun. I will be staying at this place again for the coming 2 weeks... I kinda like this place and don't mind leaving home for a couple of days. :)

Very nice place! A great place to escape from the hustle bustle of city life.
