Little Vacation in Sanyi and Dahu







It is quite difficult to ignore strawberries when everything is pink or red with strawberry flavour in the strawberry season and we just love to pick them with our own hands.
To avoid hours of travelling this time, we went to a little town Sanyi first which is famous for its long history of wood carving to spend the afternoon painting our own wooden rabbit and wooden duck.

The old factory was once one of the top companies that made wooden ducks and sculptures.
From hunting baits to pressures collectibles, the wooden ducks could not support the declining industry and the factory is now transformed and provides factory tours.
Since there wasn't any schedule, Mo and I then wondered around in the surrounding area and looked at the real ducks that Mo found for quite some time.

The hotel we stayed that night isn't worthy to mention since that was the only one we could get without making any reservation.
Anyway, Mo is happy as long as she is sleeping  in a hotel.

The next day we finally arrived Dahu, our favourite strawberry growing town where all the strawberry fields along the roads are open to visitors in the strawberry season.
Although Mo doesn't eat any strawberry, running around in the strawberry fields and picking strawberries were good enough to make her ecstatic.

Just like the last time, we all got handful of strawberry staff and great satisfaction home.
