Chiara, Lydia, Max, and India on the CCNU campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, we attended a lecture from Professor Xia at CCNU on the crayfish-rice agricultural complex. The CCNU campus was very beautiful and I was ready to stay for much longer, but we quickly hopped on the bus and drove to our next stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 4 we left Wuhan and arrived in Qianjiang where we had lunch at Lobster City. The image above shows a sculpture of a crayfish that stood in front of the restaurant complexes. The sculpture stands about two stories high and is surrounded by plastic rice plants in a fountain. Behind the sculpture are new apartment developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobster city and the other crayfish restaurants were recently built as a summer tourist destination and as a way to develop Qianjiang\u2019s crayfish based tourist economy. It felt very empty since March is during the off season and we were some of the only guests in the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch we drove to the Fanwan Lake National Wetland for Birds. At the preservation we attended a lecture on the wildlife in the park and technology used to monitor wildlife activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
