Daytrip to HangZhou
There's a saying in Chinese "Above is heaven, below is Hangzhou" so we all got up early to go see if it was true. We headed to the new Shanghai South Railway station...
Where Cecile and Paula checked out the Losting Found department. Then off we went.
The most famous sight in HangZhou is the huge West Lake which is very peaceful and serene.
The best views can be had from the pagodas around the lake.
This one had an escalator!
View from the top.
This temple contained a lock of Buddha's hair...apparently
After lunch we took a boat trip on the lake with our guide for the day Gladys who was brilliant!
Apparently there are only 3 ducks on the lake, we found one of them!
I really liked this boat but apparently it was for government officials only!
A quick spot of Buddha endorsed shopping then...
Back to the station.
Great day out and thanks again Gladys!
