The 1st stop of the day and also the last stop in NanJing (before headed to HangZhou) was Dong Shui Guan Gate (东水关城墙遗址). I am not really understand the history of the gate. I think you can find more in website if you're interested. :P
We spent about 3-4 hours journey from NanJing to HangZhou. It was really a tiring move, but it is alright for me as long as the heater is on in the bus. :P We visited HangZhou Grand Theatre (大剧院). It is designed by internationally known Canadian architect Carlos Ott. and it covers 100,000 square meters with a total construction area of 55,000 square meters. It consists of an opera house, a concert hall, a multifunction hall, an open air stage and a culture square.
Hangzhou International Conference Center (国际会议中心) is one of three symbolic buildings of Qianjiang New CBD axis line. The artistic waterscape has 5 programs. Sector waterscape integrates with buildings and roads.
From City Terrace (城市阳台), you can see HangZhou Bay Bridge (杭州湾大桥). HangZhou Bay Bridge is a long highway bridge with a cable-stayed portion across Hangzhou Bay in the eastern coastal region of China. It connects the municipalities of Jiaxing and Ningbo in Zhejiang province.
We headed for dinner at Ba Guo Bu Yi (巴国布衣). Its name translates as "Sichuan Common People," which describes both the restaurant's style of food and the local clientele it attracts. The menu is a greatest hits of Sichuan cuisine, including mapo tofu, braised tofu with chili and brown pepper, and lazi ji (chicken smothered in chili peppers). Furthermore there is mask changing (变脸秀) performance on the stage every night.
After dinner, we strolled around at West Lake Xin Tian Di (西湖新天地) in cooling night. You can find a lot of restaurant or coffee shop (like starbucks / coffee bean) here.
That night we enjoyed 1 hour West Lake Cultural Show (西湖之夜文化表演). This show is really impressed me. Contented with the myths and legends of the West Lake, the show leads you to a sweet thousand-year dream.The special concealable auditorium provides a wide and bird’s-eye view. Show time: 19:45-21:00.
Checked in hotel after end of the show. Must have a great sleep because tomorrow I will move to Shanghai. ^_^
