Hangzhou in the Spring 四月杭州 (2012)
hangchoi:
We went to golf again on the third day. My wife went to have a walk on the Baidi (白堤)
hangchoi:
After golf, we went to Qing Hue Fong (清河坊). It is a pedestrian street with ancient architecture, building like in Sung Dynasty. Hangzhou was the center of producing medicine in the old days. There were a lot of different brands and they had their own medicine plant here. Nowadays most of them were converted into museums.

On the fourth day, we planned to go biking but as we went late, we finally walked to Sudi and took a look. We found there were some sculptures showing how the ancient people made wines.

We arrived at Sudi and walked to the middle part of it, where it is claimed to be the most beautiful scene of Sudi. It is so-called "Sudi'a Morning of Spring" (蘇堤春曉)
The first and second pictures is the stone tablet showing the name of this section of Sudi. The front side has its name in red written by KangXi of Qing Dynasty. The back side has a statement made by another emperor Qianlong, the grandson of KangXi, when they visited Sudi at that time.

After that, we went to Lingyin Temple. It was indeed a theme park rather than a temple. You need to buy ticket into the temple area. If you want to get into the Lingyin temple, you need to buy another ticket, which made me think of Kai Tak or Lai Yuen amusement park (you need to buy ticket to enter the park and pay for playing roller coaster).
So what did we do? I just put my camera through the fence to take the fourth picture......
