Hangzhou


Hangzhou is a historical town not far out from Shanghai, It's renowned for it's beautiful lakes and temples so we took a day out to visit. Typically, as British tourists we managed to pick one of the coldest days to visit (it was snowing) as well as managing to get the local slow train to the wrong station. As a result we had a bit of a panic at the station and managed to surprise a lot of Locals by a little gang of British teenagers landing. After a fairly long taxi journey we reached the west Lake or Xī Hú as its called in Chinese.

We arrived fairly late and the weather was perfectly grey, but it was still a beautiful place to visit. So here's a couple photo's from around the lake.

Me being an awesome tourist




If you look really closely one of these people isn't actually in the statue.

A wild red panda... or a cat whatever
