Do you know "Dongtou" in China?

[color=Indigo]Dongtou, which is located by the sea, is a common county of Wenzhou in China. Because of the special geographical postion along the sea, Dongtou has been becoming one of the interesting places for travelling in Wenzhou. It contains a group of islands and islets in which most of them are even isolated islands. Now, you can just get there by Express Buses from different cities. It takes about 1.5 hours from Wenzhou to Dongtou. G"P&T!x!e `R1l_
bsZ'aj r
This week, I got my first time to travel Dongtou, enjoyed its seascape and fished at sea with all my colleagues. However, most of us were seasick after launching out for a long time. So did I... What's worse, I vomited up all I had eaten that morning.:Q I promise I no longer travel by sea.:L Except this bad experience, we still had a nice two-day trip in Dongtou.

1. People here always put stones on the tile-roofed houses.9]+j.}.dU;A K `,B
2. The old roads here are as narrow as people's waistbands.T4h:N+f~H2?l
3. The drivers here always reverse better and faster than drive forwards.

&xnV\R U [color=Indigo]In Chinese, there's a saying like this: "Shan bu zai gao, you xian ze ming." It generally means "The wonderful scenery sometimes not depends on its great height, but can be famous for its own charm and nimbus." Take "Xian Die Yan" spot in Dongtou for example! It is only a rock hill which lies at an average of 200 metres above sea-level. And you have to visit this special tour by RMB20 each. Do u think it's a little expensive?!:o  However, during the climbing, you may find something special and meaningful. [/color],xE*k!w3U3y

Why not?!"h\` l;F{!J
It just spends 1.5 hours for you to arrive Dongtou from Wenzhou. Of course, go there with your firends must be better than only youself. By the way, there's a new hotel just locates beside the bus station.
