Photo-walk near Westlake in Hangzhou.
Westlake, Hangzhou, 杭州西湖 is one of the famous landmarks of China. It is unique in that it is fairly relaxing, as to compared to Shanghai. There is strong emphasis on culture and nature. Many of the areas are prevalent in decorated and maintained forestry, and the buildings retain their traditional styles, maintaining a perfect balance with the scenery.
The Westlake area is considered the most expensive place in Hangzhou. On one side are high-end stores, restaurants and coffee-shops. On the other side, all you are able to see is forestry. This is where the most expensive residential areas are, and where the most wealthy live. When high officials visit Hangzhou, that seclusive area is where they visit.
