Hangzhou, December 2006

You can take the Turk our of Rize, but she'll always find some tea...

We'd been to Hangzhou in May and really liked it, despite the massive crowds. We decided to go there on our way to Shenzhen - it's a couple of hours from Suzhou by bus and we could fly from Hangzhou to Shenzhen. The weather was cold but it was still really nice. The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed getting around to some different places to last time. We found some nice restaurants and bars and one fantastic Peking Duck place, which we have to go back to.

I wasn't happy to see a McDonalds tucked away down this old street
