China Day Four: Hangzhou

On our fourth day in China, we visited the city of Hangzhou. 

It was here that Marco Polo supposedly visited in the late 13th century.  His book refers to the city as "beyond dispute the finest and the noblest in the world."

Today the city is renowned for its beautiful "West Lake."  It was beautiful and peaceful.  There were a lot of older people there singing karaoke by the lakeside.




A few people in our tour took a boat ride with us around the lake.  It was a great way to cool off, relax and see the lake.
