Scenic Shots: Hangzhou (1)
"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." ~George W. Bush

Ol' Dubya would probably agree that the same goes for blogs...like my blog, for instance.

West Lake - Winter

Let me just say that these pictures do not do the West Lake justice. There is a peace and serenity here which draws thousands from China to visit, and many ancient poets recieved their inspiration from it. The best part - this is less than a five minute bike ride from my apartment.



Bei Gao Feng

My friend Wuyong wanted to take me up Beigaofeng, a mountain very close to his college campus. After visiting his school, we made our ascent. Closer to the foot of the mountain was a very impressive Buddhist temple. The top was pretty breathtaking - again, my pictures don't do it justice.
