Just typing out this post at 8:16am in the morning.
Hangzhao - Awesome, better than expected. Xihu (West Lake) is really a beautiful site and a display of nature at its best. It was mad fun to cycle around the lake too. Also got to eat at the most famous restaurant in Hangzhao, Louwailou. Ate Hangzhao specialties such as Beggar's chicken, Dongpo Pork, Xihu Fish and a few others. Mmmmmm.
Suzhou - Like a water town. Has a series of canals running through it. Went to an old water town nearby called Tongli (old style architecture) and also checked out the famed gardens of Suzhou. It's amazing to think single families built these by themselves before.
Shanghai - One day in - got owned by the rain. Hostel is awesome. The city is basically one gigantic shopping centre. I think that is all people do here (work so they can shop). Nanjing Rd is like Wangfujing Rd on steroids (Imagine Pitt St multiplied by 50 then adding a crapload of huge neon lights).
That's it for now folks! Take care.
