  • Join us for another China VLOG as we take one of the world's most beautiful boat rides on Hangzhou's West Lake. Despite the rain, this was still an incredible experience; like sailing in an ink painting. Plus, we couldn't get over how clean it was compared to the current state of rivers and waterways back in the UK.
    If you stick around long enough, you'll also hear a very special song that I made just for this video! Hope you enjoy it. So, go grab some snacks and get ready to laugh and relax all at the same time.
    If you like this video, please do HIT THE LIKE BUTTON, because it really helps. And don't forget to leave us a message. Thank you for watching. Stay safe and keep looking after one another.

    The most beautiful thing about West Lake is the faint mist when it rains, the looming beauty. What the rower said is that there were many love stories in the West Lake in the past, and they all happened under this kind of light rain, like a beautiful ancient Chinese landscape painting.

    Seeing it reminded me of my trip to West Lake about 20 years ago. The lake was already very well maintained and managed then. But I went by bike mostly around the lake and roads cut through the lake. It was a short visit for less than a day so I didn't get time to explore. If I go again definitely will try the boating.

    I was in Hangzhou last week. I think anyone that's serious with their gardening should go visit this city, go visit all the temples on the mountains and all the gardens that goes with them. The only issue I had was there were too many people, very chaotic, although, it was the labour day holidays and I was one of those people adding to the problem so I guess I don't have the right to complain.
