It’s a good place for living not only because of its good scenery, but also the mild climate and Hangzhou cuisine.

The moment we arrived there, we took bus toXi hu. The first thing made me deeply impressed is that the dense trees and the broad lake surface. Then I could not wait to have fun and we prepared to tour the lake by ship.

In addition, we visited the Tiger Running Spring. Hupao Spring is located six kilometers from Hangzhou city.

Due to its low content of mineralized ingredients and high percentage of radon, a radioactive element, the spring water, tasting pure, sweet and cold, is an ideal beverage for health. What is more, the spring water has high surface tension. Put a coin into a bowl filled up to the rim, and the water rises three millimeters above the bowl edge, but it does not overflow. The next day, we went to the some other famous places, for example, Lingering Snow on the Broken Bridge and Lingyin Temple and so on.

It was exciting to see the Dragon Boat Race and it attracted many a tourist. Boating around the West Lake, strolling through the old streets and listening to myths and legends. In order to memory Quyuan, they cast zongzi into the lake and we also tasted the delicious zongzi. We really spent a happy and colorful time there. I expect the next time to visit HangZhou.
