Next up on our exciting tour-de-force was a trip by boat through the Grand Canals of Suzhou. Narrow waterways and ancient stone bridgework marked the beginning of a historical passage. Long ago, dignitaries, merchants and nobles alike traveled these waters in boats of similar make and now we were to do the same.
(Below) One oar? Really? Hahaha, our boatman had no problem manouevering the sturdy craft along the narrow canals though (years of experience), although we did spook him a couple times getting off the boat quickly in certain spots. He thought we were going to fall in, not knowing we were Chiu Lau's students and thus more nimble than that. ;)
