RE: Picturesque West Lake (Hangzhou) - A Breath of Fresh Air in China

Lovely photos. Spent almost 2 years living in Hangzhou, these photos bring back some happy memories. It actually looks like you went on a relatively quiet day, public holidays can be insanely crowded. If you get the chance again, i'd recommend heading out to the West side of the lake which is less developed and then on towards the Longjing Tea Fields. There are some nice secluded pagodas on the hills to the West of the lake that give great views across the water and city beyond.
