八百萬元 -- Ba Bai Wan Yuan

8 Million RMB and up!That’s the staring price for a villa on the east bank of Song Shan Hu.
I get daily text messages urging me to come and look. At well over $1m US we are talking real money, in any language. Three years ago in HengLi town (30min drive) a similar villa was 1m RMB, that now sells for 2.5-3m.

Fishing on the lake is technically “Illegal" ....... ... but a family ply their trade, early morning and late afternoon. Local police turn a blind eye as the fisher folk, keep a low profile, service local restaurants and help keep the lake clean.
