The West Lake is considered one of the most beautiful places in China. There are paths all the way around it. We walked around quite a bit of it, and did many other things as well. We took a ferry to the island in the middle, and spent a lot of time relaxing (drinking tea, sitting in the grass, reading, writing, cross-stitching, kite-flying, and strolling around). Matthew bought a small butterfly kite that is the coolest kite ever! It's about 4 inches across. He drew some pretty interested observers while he was flying it :) We also did other things around the West Lake. We visited a museum called "7000 Years in Zhejiang". There was some really cool old stuff. It's so interesting to be in a place with such a long history. Unfortunately, we didn't have the camera that day!
This is a view from the island.
One of the more crowded areas around the lake. Our first day was insane, because it was a holiday and tourists from all over the country was there. It was insane!
These first pictures were taken on a rainy day. Later this weekend it was beautiful and sunny.
Cool boat. Even cooler PERSON.
