Long bean, chayote, pumpkin for Memories of Hangzhou

During my visiting   to China in May this year, I planned  a few days to visit Hangzhou, ZheJiang. 

There is a Chinese saying: " Paradise in Heaven; Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth". I've been dream of visting Hangzhou for many years. Finally my dream came true. We took the high-speed train from Shanghai to Hangzhou and stayed there for four nights.  For the first three nights,  we stayed at a hotel very close to the  West Lake.  For the last night, we moved to a hotel near the airport for convenient  to catch the  flight to Chengdu the next day .  

I really love Hangzhou. But unfortunately, the time was too short, and I mainly wandered around West Lake and its surroundings.  Even now, I still often reminisce about the beautiful scenery of West Lake.  

Stir-fried long beans with salmon (using leftover roasted salmon from the day before). I brought this bamboo pipe back from Hangzhou. 

The bamboo pipe was actually  for ice cream

A stone bridge I walked back and forth countless times.

西湖三潭印月

西湖边上的一个“外婆家”餐馆离住的酒店很近，有一次快中午时间正好经过就进去吃了一餐。就点了三个菜，味道还不错，刚好吃完，只剩下一些红烧肉。

 

餐馆的饭菜偶尔吃吃还行，还是自家做的饭菜好吃。

南瓜船：烤甜菜，烤土豆，炒南瓜丝加辣椒和鹰嘴豆。

Thank you. Have a wonderfull weekend.
