We had a day off 2 days ago which was really nice and we had a great day. We stopped at the Intercontinental again for lunch - it is so amazing there! Then we drove out a bit into the countryside to an embroidery museum. The Hunan province is known for silk embroidery and it is amazing to see. Such skill and beauty - it's so detailed and intricate! I didn't take a photo of it, but there was a stunning black silk dress with light green and blue embroidery that I considered buying...until they told us it was $800! We did buy some nice silk there.
