Ch 31: HangZhou Thoughts

- The food is amazing, some of the best we've had in China. As usual, it's better to not follow ANY guidebook and go where the locals go. I had some of the best Chinese food of my life at a modern Chinese restaurant along the west lake conveniently located right next to the Hostel. The chefs there looked like "iron chefs" to me.

- It's a great place to stay healthly. The city is easy to walk around and with the lake at the center residents can't help but be encouraged to take morning, afternoon and nightly walks. Judging by the number of McDonalds I see popping up everywhere, this will be an even greater asset in the future.

- Vacation friendly. The air is clean and the parks around the lake can keep a group on vacation busy for a few days. Just a few days thought, I wouldn't spend more then 3 here not because it's not worth more time but bc of the phlethora of other options and things to do in China.
