After returning to China and decompressing for a few days, we set out on a second adventure. This time we wanted to conquer China's Big East. The first stop on our trip was Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a city on the legendary West Lake, a body of water steeped in thousands of years of Chinese culture and legend
We arrived in Hanghou nearly at the stroke of midnight on Chinese New Year. There were fireworks everywhere!
Our hostel was on in a historic district that has been turned into a shopping district
Bike built into a wall!
Ancient city gate, now guarded by creepy mannequin sentries
One of the towns oldest still-standing bridges.
The West Lake! A living legend in China. We spent the whole day walking around it.
Happy year of the goat
An accursed menu
The hands-down best street food in Hangzhou was the $1 deep fried crabs. 2 WHOLE CRABS FOR A DOLLAR
Squirrels are apparently rare in China. This is the first one I've seen, and all the Chinese people were going NUTS
Look at this cotton candy!
Guess what? It was really busy in Hangzhou
Really... really crowded
This is how they give you tea in China
Buddha bellies
