West Lake of Hangzhou

West Lake Hangzhou is located in the western area of Hangzhou City's historic center. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with an area of around 6.5 square kilometers. The circumference is around 15 kilometers. West Lake is not only famous for its picturesque landscape, it is also associated with many scholars, national heroes and revolutionary martyrs, thus embracing many aspects of Chinese culture. In addition, many ancient buildings, stone caves and engraved tablets in surrounding areas are among the most cherished national treasures of China, with significant artistic value.

亲爱的 and I are not artistic by nature, but since we heard so much about it, we decided to check it out the famous West Lake while we were in Hangzhou. Actually it wasn't a big deal about West Lake. Maybe it was the wrong time of the season..everything looked so grey.
