Moganshan, a mountain range about 200km west of Shanghai, is where in 1910 all the foreigners in Shanghai setup summer homes to escape the stifling heat of Shanghai. It was lost in time a little but has recently been revived with a couple premium retreat resorts and some cabin-like houses for rent. Our crew rented out Moganshan House 21 for the weekend and just had an amazing time.
The weather was absolutely perfect and the air was fresh. We went on a couple Chinese hikes (read: walks on paths / steps through the mountains). We played games, cooked food and danced out on the deck for hours. It was a perfect relaxing weekend! My pictures don't even BEGIN to do it justice.

House 21. Our happy home!
(surprisingly large with a gigantic outdoor party ground and patio per room. plus, house comes with an ayi! only way to travel)
plus the aftermath
... there may have also been some drunken shenanigans in there as well... I'll keep the photographic evidence to myself on that one. ;)
What a great getaway!
