Famous West Lake, Hangzhou in China

No, I am not about to turn this into a travel blog.... just like to share a few photos from my holidays recently.   The famous West Lake is very scenic and  just too beautiful  to describe in words. For us,  it  definitely lived up to its reputation.  Unfortunately my camera cannot do justice to its beauty.....Fortunately one can always surf the internet for professional photos  to  savour  as well as read on the write ups for more information. 

This wonder lake is so big one cannot  explore all in a day, so we went there again the next day - bright and early !   We hired the tourist bike  to help us  go round the West Lake  and surrounding areas.  A stroll through the parks is just heavenly ....  and despite big groups of tourists, one can still feel the magical serenity of the Lake.  We took our own sweet time to explore, no need to rush through as we did not  sign  up with the tour groups.  With so  much to see and explore around the West Lake area, armed with a map in hand, one will not miss the sites to enjoy.  

Magical Musical Fountain ....so enticing  !

The tourist bike that helped us explore around the West Lake !

So romantic ...

Ferry rides, anyone?

Can spend hours doing nothing but savoring  the natural  beauty ....

Pond of  Fishes ... there are so many,  the water turned red.....! 

A park near the Lake....nice sculptures and landscaping !
