Gaoling 11/22/09

We went on an excursion to Gaoling mountain today.  Gaoling was famous for its china stone.  The China stone (Kaolin) was important in Chinese ceramics because it helped create a more stable clay body, which enabled bigger and more complicated in shapes.

Being surrounded by such natural beauty is always fun.  In the Gaoling village there is a 1000 year old tree - massive.  The weather was the nicest it has been in weeks, which made for good attitudes and hiking fun.
