Last day in Hangzhou

Today is our last day in Hangzhou. It’s such a beautiful city.
I really love the Chinese culture and I read in my traveller’s book that visiting a tea house should be a nice experience. The book recommended an authentic tea house on the Westlake.
So we took a taxi and drove about ten minutes to the tea house.
The taxi driver (who is also an English translator) asked us why we went to this tea house. In the mountains is a much more beautiful one, he stated. But we only have a few hours in Hangzhou left, before we take the plane to Guangzhou.

So we decided to go inside. There were a lot of people inside. But we were taken to the roof terrace, away from al the Chinese people. That was not what we intended. But the view is very nice. The waiter brought us the menu card. This was the moment to go somewhere else! One tea costs 16 euro! That was a bit to much for us, and the boys would rather have some beer. So we left.

After a stroll alongside the lake we ended up here:




After a drink we went back to the hotel to pack our belongings and get ready to go to the airport.

Next stop: Guangzhou!

ps. Hangzhou, you are beautiful...
