We arrived in Hangzhou this morning via the Z9 train from Beijing. We all enjoyed the train and it was very comfortable and clean. We are a little tired today and are dealing with a hotel accomodation problem so that has messed up what would have been a really beautiful day here on the West Lake in Hangzhou. In China there is a saying "after death there is heaven, here on earth we have Hangzhou". The little bit we saw on our walk does seem to be a beautiful city built all around West Lake. The weather was beautiful & sunny and there were lots of people enjoying the day. The kids had cotton candy for about 75 cents, which tasted about the same as we've had before however looks more like a large cotton ball. There were a lot of adorable little kids out (we got to see our share of little ones wearing split pants) and I guess since this is a city of 6 million and we are in the middle of the tourist section we did not attract very much attention.
We will meet Tia at 9:30 am tomorrow at the Government Building. We are all so excited, I will post how that goes sometime tomorrow.
Cheers from Hangzhou, land of beautiful West Lake (& giant ball of cotton candy).
Exciting news!
