Back in Action !!

Wow... times flies when you are enjoying... before you know it it is time to work again... of course getting called up to work earlier does not help ha ha. We had just spent 4 days in Hangzhou before we headed back to Shanghai. We had plans to visit Suzhou but well... that had to be postponed to a later date...

In Hangzhou we did a few sightseeing, joining the day tour. We visited 千岛湖 (Thousand Islands Lake), 绍兴 (Shaoxing) and of course the famous 西湖 (West Lake), 雷峰塔 (Thunder Peak Pagoda??).

From our experience....the advantage of joining a tour group is that the tour guide(if u meet a good one) can provide you with a lot of information about the place you gonna visit. Information like its history, major events that took place, the developments of the place, major produce, myths and facts and etc.

We had actually enjoyed the commentary along the way . The disadvantage will be... kena taken to souvenirs shops and force to spend some time there and also the limited time given at the place of interest.

So some places we visited on our own while others we hop on the tour. Slowly i will put some information which i still remembered up as and when times permits ;)
