Pictures taken before the train ride and during it. Nice pictures taken by Julian=)
After an hour and a half long on train which i slept throughout we finally reached Hangzhou. Went into one of the local 3star hotel. Thats the view taken from our room.=)
Then we headed for our lunch. Didnt take all the pictures. But this was one of Hangzhou's delicacy- Cat's ear. Its some dough thingy thats shaped like the shape of a cat's ear, didnt really look like it though. But its nice, like some macoroni soup with peas and preserved meat. After lunch, we had our nice share of ice creams again! I had vanilla and Yx had her paddle pop=)
Then we hopped on to some simple local tours paying each about 110yuan to take a tour around the attraction- West Lake. The 1st pic was taken w Yx with the Lei Feng Ta behind us. Next was taken with SuDongPo Scholar who actually thought of the West Lake concept to provide everyone with sufficient water. He was the one who actually "built" the West Lake- Xi Hu.
This pot lookalike thing was the thing that creates the 33moons legend. Well, there was 3 of it. The story goes like this. There are 5 holes on each pot thingy, and during every autumn festival, people will light it up. Therefore causing a reflection onto the water as well. Therefore, there are a total of 30 "moons" now. Add the full moon in the sky and the reflection of the full moon on the water is equivalent to 33 moons! HAHAHA. Fantastic legend isnt it? YES INDEED.
Another legend here. The bear paw lookalike thing is said to be "Ji gong"'s hand imprint. He tried to save some old man and his grandchild stuck beneath this big tree, he used his hand to hold it up for them. (well, i apparently dont believe thats true.) Anyway, this is the big green cave, where all the carvings of buddha and 18 Arhats were. Its called Lin Yin Shi.
The 18 Arhats.
Some candid shots taken while in the cavehole. I didnt punch him! I just merely posed and Zx fell!!=/
We were just trying to be super lame here. =)
This was a picture taken on the peak of a mountain. Okay, i think its a mountain cause i was panting like crazy when i reached the top!=/ Not a nice scenery though, surrounding were all trees=/ Dumb shite! wasted my time=(
Some pictures taken around the lake. The next picture was an island where its said that the King use to just sit there and drink tea and relax.
Nice place with nice beautiful girls=) Many china girls were just lying on the grass and posing. So we just did the same! lol. Look at the next picture! Nice reflection on the calm lake isnt it? I took that!=)
Okay thats me again=) and thats the Long Jing Tea that's well known for its original growing grounds here in Hangzhou. Lovely evening sun isnt it? Taken by Julian again=) & thats the street in Hangzhou selling all sorts of tourist's sovenirs and good food, its called Bu Xing Jie.
Oh Lookie look! Arent they some cute little kids strutting away and eating ice creams?!=X
.... and some lonely kids sometimes.......
Beautiful picture captured by Ju while im thinking whether i should try some fresh spring water. LOL. And Yep... next is another picture of tea farms.
The trail to forest of bamboos. AND THATS ME AGAIN. Dont i look great as a pole dancer?=P
Yes, i think we make great models for Ju's portfolio isnt it? LOL. I just love these pictures and especially this picture taken of the policeman=)
After a full long day of trekking" and walking, we decided to go for a foot massage for only about 88yuan!=) Accompanied by some watermelons, water and dessert and a little of body massage. Treated like a queen! *flips hair*=) So that was about it for Day 1.=)
This was our breakfast and can u believe it! Its only 100yuan! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? CHEAP CHEAP AND CHEAP. HAHAHHAHA. Yums except for that yellow doufu thingy. Its salted egg and i disliked it. =/
I was walking back to the hotel from Bu Xing Jie when i saw people gathering around this shop. Well, everyone was saying "Yan zi yan zi!". Quite obviously these are swallows la. So cute isnt it? Couldn capture the mom, it was frantically flying around, probably trying its best to find a head to target its shite on so that people would buzz off. LOL. Then we headed to some small parks and there i found waterfall! then i started to think if i could drink the water since its from mountains again. HAHHAA. BUT no. 
Didnt wanna post too much pictures on that waterfall park thing, too much sceneries will get u too bored. Oh well, u can generally imagine how the place looks like. Everywhere's almost the same with trees, more mountains and valleys and rivers. Oh well. That was about it then we took a train back again from Hangzhou back to Shanghai. It was overwhelmed with hundreds of KIASU heads as u can see, squeezing and pushing their way through that small tiny exit. haw.. And that's china train's toilet, they usually call it W.C" instead of toilet or lavatories. Weird huh. Been here for 3 months and i havent got the chance to figure out what does W.C means. Anyway, its clean isnt it? But scary la... whats beneath the hole are train tracks=/
