We spent a few of days in the lively resort of Hangzhuo (pronounced Hung jo). Hangzhou felt different to other places we'd been to in China. Whereas most of the major cities are big and fairly modern, Hangzhuo felt like an upmarket destination catering for wealthy chinese tourists. Although the city has about 6 million people, it didn't feel that large and had a 'cosy' atmosphere. Its top attraction is the huge, natural lake that it sits on. We rented bikes and cycled the 7 miles around it. It was very busy, but beautifully landscaped and we explored the cool Six Harmonies Pagoda with beautiful gardens and miniature models of other pagodas and stupas from all around China.
One day we walked near the Ferrari garage (for Martin) and encountered a water fountain show going on. It was really cool with lots of coloured lights focused on the fountains and all dancing to loud (of course!) music. We also discovered lots of classy and expensive restaurants way out of our league! It didn't take us long though, to discover a little cheapie with nice people... and great sizzling beef! Also, as we strolled around the markets we found some delicous street food with pork and sweet potato in really cute little bamboo steamers . *Mush
