During Chinese New Year we took off for a few days and visited Hangzhou. Hangzhou is only a few hours drive from Shanghai, so not a big journey for us, but it was fun to see a different city.
Clara waiting patiently for a table to be ready for us at a restaurant. We ate at a hugely popular restaurant called Wai Po Jia (Grandma's Kitchen). It serves authentic Hangzhou food. It was delicious. We arrived at 5pm and had to wait half an hour to get a table. Apparently if you arrive later it can take hours to be seated.
Fountain show. We came into this area both nights while we were in Hangzhou because it was a short walk from our hotel.
Hangzhou is at one end of the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal used to be a long waterway that ran all the way to Beijing. I think parts of it are no longer operational for boats. We went on a night tour of the Hangzhou part of the Grand Canal.
