Photos In A Rural Chinese Fishing Village
Located on the southeast coast of China, Xun Zhou is a rural fishing village whose inhabitants make their living farming fish, clams, vegetables and rice. I spent five days there as a guest of the Zheng family, who graciously invited me to experience life in rural China (and being reported the first American to ever visit the island). The village had a population of about 1,000 people, no running water and, as far as I could tell, no English speaking inhabitants. My sincerest gratitude goes to my friend Sheena for guiding and translating for me and sharing her lovely family and village with me.
