A bustling street in Hangzhou. We just arrived!

After yet another hearty lunch, we set off to West Lake!

We got one of these boats and set off for a ride around the lake. Despite the hot temperatures, being around a water body provided some coolness to us. From the boat ride, we could also see the landmark featured in the 1RMB note!

Afterwards, we set off to this village!

We got to visit this temple and got to climb all the way to the highest floor and the view from there is absolutely breathtaking.
