Taiping Hash: September 13

September in Shanghai brings us the return of expat families, cooler
weather, and naturally, another Taiping Hash in Taihu (near Suzhou).

This month's hares have selected the exotic location of Yangwan, an
area of rolling hills, traditional Chinese fishing villages, bamboo
forests, and the rarely seen lotus cricket. While the scenery is
truly spectacular, hashers are advised to bring cameras at their own
risk.

The run will allegedly be 90 minutes for front runners. There should
be a short split.

Please respond if you wish to go ...... and please include your name.
