Join us on our third trip to this charming island right in the middle of the Yangtze. Despite the noise and skyscrapers of the two opposite banks, Bagua Island has never really become “urban-ified” and has a unique culture that is a combination of traditional farmers and retirees from the main city of Nanjing who want a quiet and peaceful island village life. Today we will be trying some unique Bagua Island foods, looking at Mr. Zhao's endless collections, and doing some exploring.
