In Hangzhou

Hangzhou is a city with a lot of tourist attraction. There is even a saying, “In heaven there is paradise, on earth Suzhou and Hangzhou.” Hangzhou is my family’s third destination while we are in China. We will stay in Hangzhou for a total of ten days. We are going to see many things in Hangzhou, the place where my mother grew up. One of those things is visiting my grandparents (on my mother’s side). My grandparents have been to Boston before when I was in fifth grade and stayed for about half a year. My family is also going to see West Lake, the most famous lake in China. Most of the sights along the shore of West Lake have to do with famous people. There are gardens, bridges, and little huts all around the lake. There is also a small island in the middle of the lake called Xiaoying Island. There are boats from different places around the lake that will take people to the island. There is also a very big island near the northern part of the lake where there is a bridge to drive to the island. There is also a long strip of bridges connecting to the other side of the island called the Baidi Causeway. There is also the Sudi Causeway, which spans from one side of the lake to the other. The cause ways on the West Lake are consisted of bridges connecting long and narrow strips of land. Of the causeways, about 80% of them are narrow strips of land and 20% of them are bridges connecting the narrow strips. My family will also visit many of my mom’s friends who she used to go to school with. I hope that my family will have a lot of fun in Hangzhou.
