HangZhou(杭州) - Shanghai(上海)

[Feb 18, 2010]
It is really enjoyable to take a boat ride at West Lake (西湖). Xī Hú is a famous fresh water lake located in the historic center of Hangzhou, in Zhejiang province of eastern China. The lake is divided by the causeways of Sū Tí (苏提 / 蘇堤) , Bái Tí (白堤), and Yánggōng Tí (杨公堤 / 楊公堤).


We headed toward green tea plantation. Famous green tea in HangZhou named LongJing (龙井).


Everywhere in HangZhou looks like a painting. So amazing!

On the way to Shanghai, we passed by WuZhen (乌镇). Wuzhen's uniqueness lies in its layout, being divided into six districts. These are: traditional workshops district, traditional local-styled dwelling houses district, traditional culture district, traditional food and beverage district, traditional shops and stores district, and water township customs and life district.

Another boat ride at WuZhen. You should not miss it! ^_^

It's already 6pm when we reached Shanghai. Sunset earlier during winter and it is freaking cold at night... It is not advisable to stroll around under such killing weather. By the way, the tour guide brought us to NanJing shopping street (南京路步行街) after dinner. Mum and I was hiding ourselves inside the shop. At least we feel warm there. :P

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights because tomorrow we will only stay in Shanghai! No more moving from town to town...
