“The trip to Gulang Island set my expectations of the coming weeks. After visiting Justsun in the morning and learning about the work they do as a supply-chain service provider and then having the best lunch so far, we got in the coach and then left for the Island. Arriving at an airport like terminal we waited for Kathy to get our tickets. Throughout being stared at/photographed by others travelling to Gulang Island, as we soon learnt this was to be a common theme to our trip. The sun was sweltering and the day was long and involved a lot of walking. However, through this came one of my favourite early memories of the trip, the garden set up by the owner of the largest private villa on the island for his children to play in. Dripping with sweat and resenting the ever-energetic Kathy, the struggle was worth it, the breath-taking views the top of the gardens offered blew me away. Kathy was right to frogmarch us around the island and I don’t regret one step. The lack of concern for his children’s health and safety was almost laughable, the chaotic tunnels merging to reveal the wonderful view amazing, summing up China in a garden. ” Caitlin
