After touring the Yu Garden we entered a nearby tea house for what was essentially a tea tasting and demonstration. The kids enjoyed watching the various forms of tea preparation, including the 'Romeo and Juliet' flowering tea. They particularly liked the ginseng oolong and we purchased some to bring home.
After the tea ceremony we returned to the square and moved along a line of stalls in which artisans were selling their handcrafted wares. Heidi, Ben, and Monica all found something they wanted and our negotiating skills recieved a little more practice.
