Each day I seem to find more information on the land that we are to visit - the home of Yin Chun Sha (Taylor).

Yin Chun Sha is from the Hunan Province, which is known for its spicy food and Xiang double-sided embroidery. The adoptees are known as the "Spice Girls". It is located in the south central part of the Chinese mainland. Hunan has long been known for its natural beauty. Hunan is surrounded by mountains on the east, west, and south, and by the Yangtze River on the north. Hunan's mixture of mountains and water makes it among the most beautiful provinces in China. For thousands of years, Hunan has been a major center of Chinese agriculture, growing rice, tea, and oranges.
