Episode 175 - West Lake

This photo was taken at the coastal area of the West Lake in Hangzhou.

We had a short holiday and visited Shanghai and Hangzhou recently. We stayed in a hotel in Shanghai. With the improvement in the railway system, travelling from Shanghai to Hangzhou is very convenient. We boarded a super express non-stop train bound for Hangzhou at the Shanghai South Station. It only took us around one and a half hour's time to arrive at the Hangzhou Railway station.

We took a taxi to the lake area and boarded one of the many round-trip tourist cars to the "Thunder Hill Pagoda" on the other side of the lake.
