i have been there to see the trees in bloom and it truly is the most beautiful sight i have ever seen, the air is filled with a sweet fragrance and the people are some of the friendliest you will ever meet. The family that was our host greeted us with apricot dumplings that are fried....I have tried to make my own with store bought apricots, but never had success in getting the flavor I remember...does anyone know the secret? Also they made an apricot chutney served on some type of cracker I have never seen before. If you love apricots, you need to visit at least once.
Well, if you're going up to see the blossoms, you won't be picking apricots as it is from that blossom that the 'cot grows... UNLESS some are earlier than others....
Sure not the China I saw Oct. 2012, this a major photoshop job. Sorry but saw first hand. The best of China was the Giant Panda Bears. Have some great videos on my YouTube Channel Lisa Maria Flurie.
I Leave my office job and now I am getting paid 97 Dollars hourly. How? I work-over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was to try-something different. 2 years after...I can say my life is changed completely for the better! Check it out what i do..U15...... ====== WWW.Review80.COM
