Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province

Hotel

Getting out of the city is wonderful!

Fast Train

O loves to play train, so she was thrilled to get a ride on the real deal!

Spa Life

West Lake is the most popular tourist spot in Hangzhou.

We opted for a more secluded vacation away from the tourist hub, which involved less money and more peacefulness!

Narada Spa & Resort was virtually void of visitors, made of natural stone and wood (rarity coming from big city Shanghai!)They housed an outdoor and indoor pools; one for lane laps, the other for kiddos!
We were completely impressed with their outdoor playground; giant steel slides, full-out jungle gym, shubbery labyrinth, sandpit and swings.

Bleak Mid-Winter

Despite the hazy, wintry feel, the weather was crisp and clean.
