Hangzhou China - West Lake - Photos

Hangzhou, China is a popular tourist destination, and I was fortunate enough to be shown around the city by a couple of young local people.  I have only shared a couple of photos from Hangzhou before -- in my blog about smog in China.  Today, here are some of the better photos I took while touring the famous West Lake, as well as one shot from an evening in an older part of the city.

Meng Wei and I at the entrance to the West Lake area.


Bai Causeway - There are two causeways, with water on each side, on the lake. I am pretty confident this is a photo of Bai Causeway.


Floating Boat - well, of course boats float. But with the smog, it sorta looks like this boat is in the air, not in the water.


Fall Colors - it was December. The colors were so pretty. Hard to believe autumn lasts into December!


The Causeway, from the water.


More Colors - obscured by smog, but still lovely.


The Buddha - seen in the older part of Hangzhou.


Me with the Buddha - proof that I was there.
