We had an amazing time with Tilla and Jeff Ning’s family making two different types of dumplings. Tilla was so accommodating to our schedules. The Ning family was so hospitable and taught us how to become experts at making dumplings. The home was clean and lovely. We will definitely be back! A highlight of our trip to China for sure.
