Hangzhou, August 2006

From Huzhou we took an excursion to the nearby, famous city of Hangzhou, which, in a famous Chinese expression, is described as “Paradise on Earth.” It was quite beautiful indeed. But what surprised us is how that which Chinese people seem to find most beautiful is man-made nature. This famous West Lake is man-made, and the surrounding nature is anything but natural! But it was quite lovely and it was fun to have seen it.
