Favorite thing: Here you can see my son standing on one of the floating gardens. This is built over 20 feet of water. They use layers of weeds and mud to build it and it is very fertile! When you stand on it you can feel it slowly sink. With my weight I went up to my knees before it stopped sinking!

Favorite thing: Many of the silk weaving operations where in buildings like these and from the outside it was difficult to tell if they had weaving operations or if it was a big family home.
