This past weekend we went to a bamboo forest about 3 hours outside of Shanghai near a city called Anji. We got up really early so the kids would be sleeping part of the way, which only sort of worked. They filmed part of a famous kung fu movie named "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" here. It was a very beautiful place. The hillsides are covered solely with giant bamboo - a true bamboo forest. Bamboo as far as the eye can see, occasionally broken up by terraces where they are growing tea. We hiked up a fairly big hill and came down on an alpine slide they had built through the bamboo. That was a huge hit with the kids.
