In a bid to earn some money over the summer, do some exploring outside of Chengdu and continue teaching in my long break, I decided to join my friend on a summer camp on Huaxi Farm (花溪) in Dujiangyan (都江堰). The week was filled with fun outdoor activities such as archery and hiking, delicious traditional Chinese dishes, and a week stay in my own treehouse (ending with a night in a 5 star hotel in the middle of the mountains)!

Despite the copious number of strange bugs, constantly being bitten by mosquitos and the relentless rain, it was a perfect week. Tiring and hard work as it was, it was the best way to start my travels this summer!
Looking forward to the next little adventure!
