April 4, 2011

Today we traveled by plane to Hangzhou. We arrived at the hotel early and since they were preparing our rooms, we decided to walk down to West Lake.  Several people stopped us and asked to take our pictures. They hadn’t met many people from the US and were excited to be able to practice their English with us. We had a lot of fun. The lake has many beautiful flower gardens for visitors to enjoy. Their boats are different than ours. There was a huge boat shaped like a dragon that people toured the lake and many little boats that look like a small flat boat with a roof on it, it is called sampan. 

On our way back to the hotel we visited a market on Qingfnag Street. The markets in China are much different than ours. They have an outdoor market where vendors sell many different items. They like to bargain with all of their customers.
