These are the pictures from my first trip outside of Shanghai. I visited the city of Hangzhou. The city is most famous for West Lake. My friends and I arrived on Friday night. We went out for dinner and visited the night market. The next day it was raining but we visited the famous West Lake. Eventually we wandered away from West Lake to explore the surrounding area. That night we returned home since the rain did not let up. Photos are out of order. Sorry about that.
