China (Suzhou): Our HangZhou (杭州) Trip!

On 20th Nov, we took a coach to HangZhou. Winter season is around the corner. We could feel the chill especially at night. We reached there around 2pm and check-in one of the hotel we booked via Internet. Thereafter, we took a cab to XiHu (西湖). A place that you must not miss if you're going to HangZhou. It was so crowded with people since it was Saturday.


The next day, we decided to go to JiuXiShiBaJian (九溪十八涧). We chose the public transport so as to understand the people and culture there. At the bus-stop, a lady approached us. She asked where do we intend to go. When we told her that we wanted to go to JiuXiShiBaJian (九溪十八涧), she started to persuade us to go to LongJingWenCha (龙井问茶). Having done enough research about HangZhou, we knew that LongJingWenCha (龙井问茶) is a place for people who love tea and wish to buy some there. So, we politely declined her offer of bringing us there.

Upon reaching JiuXiShiBaJian (九溪十八涧), we were looking for toilet. And suddenly to our horror, she appeared in front of us and asking again whether we're going to 龙井问茶. We're so shocked that she has been tailing us all the way. This time round, we're very firmed and told her off.

Thereafter, we walked around the JiuXiShiBaJian (九溪十八涧). Wow, that's the first time I saw maple leaves!!



After the walk at JiuXiShiBaJian (九溪十八涧), we went to a good chinese restaurant. Dear hubby gave me a great treat - a sumptous dinner:D Yummy LOBSTER!!!

On 21 Nov, we went to a western restaurant near XiHu...Heehee...I missed western food so much!! We thought that restaurant was quite good. I meant from the menu and the ambiance there. Alas, the steak is super hard and tasted so funny! After the awful lunch, we went shopping:D Bought a lot English books for dear daughter though:p

On 22 Nov, we checked-out the hotel and took a coach again back to Suzhou:)
