Taiping Hash, May 24

We return to the Miajiawu area for another run through the tea
plantations in Zhejiang province.

The run will be A to B. If the weather is good, there will be an
extra loop for those who enjoy a few more hills and distance.

The run starts at the Longwu exit off the Hangzhou ring road. We may
take the new Hangzhou-Pudong freeway in order to expedite the trip.

The bash location features range chicken and organic vegetables that
are grown by the restaurant owners.

For those who are not so swift of foot (particularly Italians),
please remember to bring your cell phone on the run. If may come in
handy if you get lost.

Here's a good story about the village and the tea that is grown there:
