On a day in Spring 2025, hop on a comfortable and spacious bus, leisurely enjoy a delightful breakfast, and indulge in themed videos and guided tours of attractions. Arrive at the gallery nestled amidst the picturesque scenery of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, where you can witness a live painting demonstration by renowned oil painter Ning Hou in the pear garden. The owner of the pear garden will personally guide and host, while you relish a sumptuous lunch amidst the blooming pear orchard.

Personally led by local community leaders, explore the historic Chinese Merchant Association, Chinese school, and gambling dens, established over a century ago. You can also browse souvenir shops, unique bars, antique hotels, Locke Memorial Park, as well as visit the Ning Hou Gallery and Ning Hou's former residence, which once served as a brothel during Locke's heyday.
