Sight Seeing began quite early.

First stop, went to 霖隐寺 and 飞来峰 which was a little further from the city. It was the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year that morning and at the temple, there were large number of people. They were all there to pray. It was insanely packed!

After meandering through the temple for a bit, we discovered 飞来峰 and proceeded to climb up the hill. It had snowed that morning and the tracks were covered with snow.

A distant look at 霖隐寺 with the snow covered branches. It was a pretty sight!

Us playing with snow. That was the first time I played with snow. Not exactly very clean white snow, but snow nonetheless. =)

After that, we headed down and left the place. We went back to West Lake to tour other regions that we had not completed.

The gardens surrounding the West Lake

After which we walked and walked and walked trying to find all the other sceneries of the West Lake. There were suppose to be 10 sceneries to look out for, but we could not find them all. Apparently, some were located within the zoo, some could only be seen at certain times of the year, etc …

We eventually took a “tourist” bus by the road as we were almost lost that could bring us back into Hang Zhou City.
