2nd Day in Hang Zhou

I woke up at 8:00 o’clock, which was a pretty hard thing to do because of last night watching movies and television series at the hotel. After eating breakfast at the Chinese fast food restaurant besides the hotel, then I went on the bus to go to today’s destination——Long Jing Village, which was famous for its tea, Long Jing tea. It took 45 minutes via bus, and 15 minutes via car, which is also known as the local taxi to a place near the village. I walked up the village through a road which the Emperor Kang Xi had took a walk before.

After walking up to the village, I went to a restaurant, and ate some local food, which included sour and sweet fish, Dong Bo Pork, and some kind of chicken soup that I’m not familiar with. After eating, I went down with a ‘local’ taxi to a bridge which is very long. I bought a handmade kite which costs 50 Yen and broke after 30 minutes by someone who was clumsy.

After walking pass the bridge, I went to rent a bike, but I couldn’t because you have to make a special card for it, which the place to make it is 20 minutes away from here. So I didn’t rent the bike, instead I went to a grand restaurant which has many good steak. After eating steak and drinking milkshake there for about 2 hours, I went back to the hotel and got a good night’s sleep.
