Located in southern China, this capital of Zhejiang Province, \u6d59\u6c5f (zh\u00e8ji\u0101ng), is a water-wonderland, built along the West Lake, or \u897f\u6e56 (x\u012bh\u00fa).<\/p>\n<p>Hangzhou is filled with classical southern Chinese architecture including pagodas, temples, and bridges set to a gorgeous lake backdrop. To the north, there are a slew of famous \u00a0tea houses, \u8336\u9986 (ch\u00e1gu\u01cen), and tea fields, offering you the chance to first work up a sweat hiking through acres of tea leaves, and then later cool off to some delicious Dragon Well Tea, or \u9f99\u4e95\u8336 (l\u00f3n\u0261j\u01d0n\u0261ch\u00e1) served with \u5c0f\u5403 \u00a0(xi\u01ceoch\u012b), or little snacks and \u51b7\u76d8 (l\u011bngp\u00e1n), cold appetizers.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video slideshow gallery:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hangzhou Tour SlideShow.mov\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n9yvPx8MFqE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Everywhere you go, regardless of time of day, Hangzhou is a bustle with activity. It has a great nightlife for expats and locals alike, with a balanced mixture of western and Chinese food and drink. At night, when it cools off, a dazzling fountain light display is performed as people congregate by the docks to socialize, dance and revel in the display.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery below is from my trip by bicycle around the entire West lake. Anyone planning on visiting Hangzhou, I highly recommend renting and touring by bike, also known as \u65c5\u884c\u81ea\u884c\u8f66 (l\u01dax\u00edng z\u00ecx\u00edngch\u0113).
